Who robbed the most money by burning Yuanmingyuan? What did he rob?

1860, the British and French allied forces looted the Yuanmingyuan and took away most of the cultural relics.

According to the memories of the British and French invaders who robbed Yuanmingyuan that year, in order to auction the treasures robbed from Yuanmingyuan, they "arranged all the stolen goods to be exhibited in the main hall of Yonghe Palace", including white and green jade articles of various colors, antique enamel porcelain bottles, bronzes and gold and silver Buddha statues; Fur products are also exquisite, many of which are valuable, including mink, otter skin, mink skin, lamb skin and so on; What is particularly striking is that there are two or three imperial robes. Grant, commander of the British army, gave part of his "due" to the soldiers. "The officers gave him a carved red gold hip flask, which is the most exquisite thing among the stolen goods." The Queen of England also got a copy, two beautiful big enamel bottles.

Montauban, the commander of the French army, gave Grant two pieces of gold and jasper, one to the Queen of England and the other to King Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte of France. After returning home, montauban gave Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte many things: two general's decorative sticks, made of gold, with big gems in the middle and at both ends, which were extremely fine in workmanship; Emperor Qianlong's royal armor (now on display at the French Ji Mei Military Museum), with helmet; Gold-plated and glazed copper pagoda; Several gods made of gold and glaze; Many rings, collars, wine glasses, lacquerware, porcelain and thousands of exotic things.

With the passage of time, the looted Yuanmingyuan cultural relics have been scattered around the world through various auctions. But most of them are still preserved in Britain and France.

The Oriental Art Museum of the British Museum has preserved more than 20,000 rare treasures of China. The British army once presented some looted Yuanmingyuan cultural relics to Queen Victoria at that time, and this part of the special cultural relics was collected in the Oriental Art Museum together with the auctioned Yuanmingyuan cultural relics. Gu Kaizhi, a great painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, painted a picture of women's history, which is a rare treasure in ancient scroll paintings in China. 1860 was snatched from Yuanmingyuan by the British and French allied forces. A 3-foot-long and 2-foot-high white horse was stolen from Yuanmingyuan and returned to Yuanmingyuan after being robbed, but it did not escape the fate of being looted.

There is a China Pavilion in Fontainebleau Palace, which was built by Eugénie, Queen of Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte. 1860 After the British and French allied forces looted the Yuanmingyuan, Meng Daobang, commander of the French army invading China, presented the "spoils" snatched from the Yuanmingyuan to Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte and Queen Eugénie. Queen Eugénie built the China Pavilion to collect these cultural relics.

In the most conspicuous position of the China Pavilion, there is a huge stupa, 2 meters high, with gold-plated bronze and emeralds. There are a pair of ivory and a pair of bronze dragons on the left and right sides of the tower, which are the same as those placed in front of the emperor's throne in the Forbidden City and Summer Resort, indicating that the bronze dragons should be placed in front of the emperor's throne in the Guangming Hall of Zheng Da in Yuanmingyuan. A pair of golden jars and A Jin Manza (the temple decoration of Tibetan Buddhism). The golden jar sparkles with wishful patterns, and the gold is inlaid with pearls, turquoise and rubies, which shows how luxurious the decoration in Yuanmingyuan was at that time. There is a rosary in the glass table and cupboard. There are 154 beads * *, which is different from the general 108 beads. This is a rosary of the emperor and two hanging beads of the queen, which were presented by montauban to Queen Eugénie. I didn't expect Queen Eugénie to be dissatisfied, because she had heard that all the officers who went on an expedition to China had returned home loaded with food. She complained that montauban only brought her such a gift, so montauban also gave her three carts of treasure and gave her seven carts all the time, including all kinds of bronzes, jade, porcelain, lacquerware, gold and silver products and cloisonne stolen from Yuanmingyuan. ...
