1860年,英法联军寻找种种借口,派大军侵华,一直打到北京,焚掠圆明园,强迫清政府与之签定不平等条约。英法联军中的法军司令是孟斗班。他回国后被拿破仑三世封为“八里桥公爵”。孟斗班在法筹建便华远征军之后远赴中国,进行了一系列侵略活动。从最近新公布的档案文献看,圆明园被劫掠是英法侵略军联手,而圆明园被焚毁则是英军单独所为,法军没有参与。
In 1860, the British and French coalitions looked for excuses to send large armies to China, hitting Beijing and burning the Summer Palace, forcing the Qing government to sign an unequal treaty. The French commander in the Anglo-French coalition was Meng Douban. When he returned to China, he was named Napoleon III “Duke of Baliqiao”. Meng Douban traveled to China after establishing the Fanhua Expeditionary Force in France and conducted a series of aggression. Judging from the recently released archives, the looting of the Summer Palace is the joint effort of the British and French Invading Armies and the burning of the Yuan Ming Yuan by the British Army alone without the participation of the French troops.
