He was an important official in the Qing Dynasty. What happened to him after the British and French occupation of Guangzhou?

I think everyone has heard the story of the shepherd in Suwu. That is to say, an envoy named Su Wu was detained by the Huns in the Han Dynasty, so he had to stay in that harsh place for 19 years. But he always remembered that he was a Hun from the Han Dynasty, and he never forgot that he was an emissary. Later, I finally returned to the Han Dynasty when my temples turned white. His integrity is admirable, and many people follow Su Wu's example. For example, Wen Tianxiang worships Su Wu, which is mentioned in Song of Righteousness.

Later, a man named Wu appeared in the Qing Dynasty. This man is Ye, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He was born in 1807. He has been a local prodigy since he was a child. When he became an adult, his road was smooth sailing. Before he was eighteen, he won a top prize. Later, he entered imperial academy. At the age of 26, he entered the officialdom. His studies are very smooth, and the officialdom is equally unimpeded. From a seven-product official, he arrived.

At the age of 45, he was already the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he was also a very important figure in the Qing Dynasty. However, Xianfeng thought he was very good because he suppressed many peasant uprisings, but when facing foreigners, he really had no choice because he knew that foreigners' weapons and equipment were terrible. Once foreigners attack, you can imagine the consequences, and simply don't fight. However, he was not unprepared. Just after the outbreak of World War II by the British and French allied forces, they arrived at Humen and were known by Ye. However, he said calmly: 15 nothing happened.

In fact, he had already asked Daxian to divine, and this sentence was also said by Daxian. However, it was only 14 days after the fall of Guangzhou, and Ye neither fled nor committed suicide. Instead, I put on my own clothes and a flower feather as a status symbol, sitting there waiting for the arrival of the British army.

When the British saw Ye Chenming like this, they admired him and respected him very much. They wanted him to go to England with them, so Ye Chenming followed, and took all the servants to eat and drink. They stayed on a ship in England for 48 days, and everything he always ate was from China.

He thought he had a chance to go to England, and then he could have more communication with the Queen. But who knows that the British took him to India, and even put him in a glass for others to see. After discovering it, he chose to starve to death.
