The Opium War: The confrontation between The Opium War: The confrontation between

Is no problem, Mr Maohaijian " the day collapse of dynasty: The Opium War studies again a " book is in the so far domestic research of relevant Sino-British the Opium War monograph most makes compatriots shake deaf hair Kui one, its full and accurate historical data, penetrating analysis and the attitude of not false taboo decorations make it have had historical research institute, should be some to know toward the role with this lesson. Wear to read in my mood is miscellaneous, cover roll afterwards my deep feeling very much, total feeling is , China though since Xu is( from some angle also really) the country with an ancient civilization that has thousands of calendar histories , but in the confrontation of Britain of the representative western civilization of modern times of the beginning of middle period of 19 century," it is abounding in natural wealth" China look as a frail powerless and uncivilized young child that does not melt , the Britain of " Zui Er island country " pure Ran is a muscular and experienced and knowledgeable giant, both foundation not when same first class other go up. < prefix="o" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"><><>
Say the China at that time have in Britain as young child giant, this nature first embodies from result and the process of the Opium War to come out. From July 5,1840 Britain army captures Zhoushan Islands decide sea, the Opium War is formally broken out , until August 29,1842, the Sino-British representative of both sides signs in the Britain that anchors in the Nanjing suburban river surface of the Yangtze River on warship" Nanjing treaty", the Opium War announces finish, in the time of two years, " British expedition army " take pearl river north to the China of the gulf of Bohai Sea with 10 some of warships with the military strength that does not go to 5000 persons in south, is coastal and about to gallop , enter the Yangtze River the China at that time on the south of Haikou major is on the point of sea city have nearly taken time. In this process, Britain military battle-field people loss does not exceed 50 persons, the damages of ordnance and warship are also very little, the Qing Dynasty armed forces are killed in action thousands of persons, arms and equipment have been destroied even more do not sum its number. It is so, only Qing Jun and the at that time most advanced hard ship sharp cannon of Britain army besides the huge gap between the earth gun earth cannon of cold weapon times, in the aspect of strategic tactical and soldier quality, both also has great difference. For example, in battle, Qing Jun notices to face sea defence directly only, Britain army adopts by navy warship cannon front bombardment and land force land from flank to outflank the tactics of competitor rear the back make the defence of Qing Jun disintegrate very quickly, when entire war duration this kind of tactics of Britain army has utilized and tried repeatedly again and again is not comfortable , additionally, though, Qing Juns also does not lack brave resistances, but the most attacks defence to fight is in very short time so as Qing Jun all sacrifices of defenders or suffer a crushing defeat to escape in disorder and finish , these expose Qing Jun and commander fully and soldier tactical thought ignorant and battle accomplishment is low. So in the Opium War, in faraway ten thousands of Qing Jun Shi of Britain army for the homeland battle of battle array that comes is relaxed very much, so that have British soldier when in afterwards memoir name this war is the "travel" of " little have setback ". <><>
However, compare with the gap on the war layer surfaces of technical ability such as arms and equipment and strategic tactics, the gap in the aspect of ideology should say that is fatal. Britain as the most developed capitalist country at that time, it for world tendency and national relation accept to know that advanced degree is self-evident. The China at that time, complacent clear emperor goes to different levels officials and even ordinary common people, its knowledge for world still stays when is taking China as center , " China Yi discriminate " " for day dynasty in " idea, have caused from this for the ignorance of foreigner in and association Man Han: Think that the system perfect of " Tian dynasty " is incomparable , disdain in the condition of knowing foreign country; Think English is far come to " rough Yi ", do not take " teach to melt "; Think Britain is " Zui Er island country ", cannot bear to oppose with" day dynasty"; Think the hard ship sharp cannon of Britain army is " Qi skill Yin skilful ", even if having eaten , its big loss still disdains to attend to. Therefore in the Qing Dynasty at that time, it is for the purpose of Britain army , war force etc. aspect complete Meng Ran do not know , put the frame of " Tian dynasty " to want wholeheartedly " exterminate rough Yi ", dozen again claims however to want " bosom far " and " recruit to stroke ", result quilt others leads along nose tired deal with. For example, the Qing Dynasty at that time person thinks always " Britain rough Yi " the stiff impropriety of legs and feet rushes about , so, Britain army can not land to fight , result Qing Jun one since neglect for land guard against have copied route of retreat by Britain army. To not let foreign country make subject" see emperor into capital surface", still offering above-mentioned right have given the America that takes advantage of the tragedy , France, Spain, Portugal as well as the genuine Dutch, Swedish, Austrian etc. " Zui Er little country", it Man Han ignorance cannot speech says. The Qing Dynasty at that time official, no matter scold by current historical textbook for" surrender" " advocate peace to send ", have been praised still for" national hero" " stand for war to send ", can say nearly have heavy subject big Yuan when is taking" day dynasty" as the ideology of center aspect has no great difference. So, in the Qing Dynasty at that time, it is uncivilized ignorant young child simply in the aspect of ideology, this kind of ignorance ignorance causes do not think to keep forging ahead may go up trace back Qian the grand Ma-Jia-Er-Ni diplomatic corps of period that refuse British style to establish relation , say more essentially that is concerning Chinese some thought in " the culture of fine tradition " of thousands of years. <><>
In a word, since is in young child stage in the aspect of technology and thought, as Mr Maohaijian when " the day collapse of dynasty: The Opium War studies again " the assertion in book, the China at that time is doomed to fail in the Opium War. The scar that reveals history lets future generations know , is actual and past , then can realize Chinese the following development direction, so, Mr Maohaijian's is valuable with great efforts. When I look , since afterwards the north foreign fleet crushing defeat of " Asia first " in shell noon war " another Zui Er island country " the history of Japan matter explanation, compared with technical progress, the progress of ideological system is more important. Now, allegedly Chinese national power has been on top place in the world, in other words on bodily form, have had appearance of giant, but in the aspect of social system and the thought of the masses whether also since uncivilized young child grows up mature giant?
