圆明园被焚掠的两个问题辨疑

第二次鸦片战争期间,举世闻名的圆明园首先遭到英法侵略者的共同抢掠,继而被英国侵略者付之一炬。英法联军无疑是最先抢掠圆明园的罪魁祸首。至于英国方面辩解的焚园理由:报复被俘人员在此园中遭受虐待,只不过是欺骗世人的一个借口。他们最终的目的是为了迫使清政府就范,速定和约。将在清帝心目中占有重要地位的圆明园焚毁,是侵略者达到罪恶目的的一种罪恶手段。

Disabuse Yuan Mingyuan about Its Being Plundered and Burnt out

During Second Opium War,Yuan Mingyuan,the world-famous garden,was jointly plundered by the united army firstly and then the British army destroyed it by fire.Unquestionably,the united army is the chief criminal of the plunder.It is just a high-sounding excuse that those captives were tortured to die in Yuan Mingyuan so that the invaders decided to retaliate by burning it down.Their ultimate and real aim is to force Qing government to submit,to sign the treaty immediately.It is a criminal means of the invaders to destroy Yuan Mingyuan that is cherished by Chinese emperor in order to attain their own criminal goal.
