鸦片战争时期好象英国与清朝之间成规模的海战就此一例,美国人的书里提到了英国JARDINE这个人,不知此人是干什么的,他曾提议说若想对清朝开战,必须有万全准备,比如要1艘1等战列舰和数艘护卫舰。
美国人的 ...
JARDINE这是个大鸦片商,“怡和”洋行的大班。这个人不简单,不但靠自己的影响动员数百商人请愿促成侵华战争,还制定了很专业的行动计划 Jardine Paper。我想那个需要起码一艘一等战列舰的提议就是来自这篇计划。

Jardine successfully persuaded Parliament to wage war on China, giving a full detailed plan for war, detailed strategic maps, battle strategies, the indemnifications and political demands from China and even the number of troops and warships needed. This plan was known as the Jardine Paper.
这位在1838年左右就曾考虑对华动武,结果不知怎么叫威灵顿给骂了一顿。
Dr. William Jardine wanted the opium trade to expand in China, and ordered James Matheson to leave for Britain to persuade the Government to take up strong action to further open up trade in China. Matheson, unsuccessful in his forays in England, was brushed aside by the "Iron Duke" (Duke of Wellington), the then British Foreign Secretary, and reported bitterly to Jardine of being insulted by an arrogant and stupid man. |
