1840 In June, the British invaders, relying on their ships to protect the opium trade, launched the opium war of aggression against China. British troops successively captured Zhoushan, Humen, Xiamen, Ningbo, Wusong, Zhenjiang and other places, and occupied Hong Kong Island. 1842 (the 22nd year of Daoguang) On August 4th, the British army advanced on Nanjing and demanded a ransom of 3 million yuan.
