Xianfeng: the Emperor Who Wanted to Make a Difference but Failed to Achieve Anything

During the reign of Emperor Xianfeng, internal and external troubles came one after another, and natural and man-made disasters continued to occur. Xianfeng, who was young, energetic and without any strategy, took a series of measures, but did not achieve much results. In the face of war, he sometimes advocated war, sometimes advocated peace, and was indecisive. Until he passed away, half of the country was still filled with smoke. This book is not only faithful to historical documents, but also has vivid narrative and ingenious structure, thus creating a three-dimensional image of Emperor Xianfeng, which is of great significance for re-understanding Emperor Xianfeng and the characteristics of his era. Both ordinary readers and Qing history enthusiasts can benefit a lot from it.
