太平天国于1860年夏到1862年间东征苏、常各地,并远及浙江嘉兴、杭州,攻克了宁波、湖州,几乎把全部产丝地区纳入太平天国领域。在此期间,太平天国每到一处皆重申其对外开放商务政策。为了保证对外贸易的顺利进行,太平天国采取了许多措施,鼓励和保护外商来太平天国贸易。 The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom struck the Soviet Union from the summer of 1860 to 1862 and was often located in various places and far beyond Jiaxing and Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province. It captured Ningbo and Huzhou and brought almost all the silk producing areas into the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. During this period, the Taiping Rebellion reiterated its policy of opening up to the outside world. In order to ensure the smooth progress of foreign trade, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has taken many measures to encourage and protect the foreign trade in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
