Arrow War Part 3: Parkes and Loch's Bogus Journey 第二次鸦片战争3:猫鼠游戏篇
Manage episode 333471977 series 2855919
After the Anglo/French diplomatic mission in 1859 was destroyed by the Qing Military, a larger, more powerful diplomatic army was sent in 1860 to ram the 'Treaty of Friendship' down the throats of the Qing Court.
Despite being unable to stop this larger force militarily, the Qing Empire would attempt every conceivable tactic to delay, misdirect, or otherwise stop the British and French from reaching Beijing and meeting the emperor.
However as desperate as these acts were, they in the end did little but aggravate the invading Europeans, and increase bloodshed.
