European Invasion and christian Rebellions,a trumping era began.interestingly,they are all wearing the cross,the young emperor looks like a sheep waiting for its judgement under this circumstance.

The Xianfeng Emperor (17 July 1831 – 22 August 1861), personal name I-ju (or Yizhu), was the ninth Emperor of the Manchu-led Qing dynasty, and the seventh Qing emperor to rule over China, from 1850 to 1861.

In 1853, the Taiping rebels captured Nanjing and for a while it seemed that Beijing would fall next; Meanwhile, an initially minor incident on the coasts triggered the Second Opium War. Anglo-French forces, after inciting a few battles (not all victories for them) on the coast near Tianjin, attempted "negotiation" with the Qing government.
