Fifty Years of the Late Qing Dynasty

1864 - The fourth year after the Qing government signed the unequal treaty "Beijing Treaty" with Britain and France (Gengshen Rebellion), and the third year after the Yehenala family launched a palace coup (Xinyou Coup). In this year, local regiment training troops headed by Zeng Guofan broke through Tianjing, the base camp of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and many local Han officials were re-employed.

In this year, a French Catholic priest came here. After some inspection, he planned to build a new church here as a new missionary site. The story begins here... Ps: This is not a time-travel story.
