At this time, at the entrance and exit of Xianliangmen, more than 20 skilled eunuchs in Yuanmingyuan waged a life-and-death struggle with the enemy, "from ruin", but in the end, because they were outnumbered, Ren Liang, the "eight-product leader" of Yuanmingyuan, and others died heroically.

At 7 pm, the French invaders captured the Yuanmingyuan. From the next day, the officers and men began to rob and destroy crazily.

The most direct reason why the British burned Yuanmingyuan was to force the Qing government to accept their terms as soon as possible and sign a peace treaty so as to withdraw from Beijing as planned. When the British and French allied forces set out from Hong Kong, it was still spring, and their officers and men were all dressed in spring clothes. But in Beijing, 1 1 June is cold, which is very unfavorable to the British and French Coalition forces. Therefore, when the British and French allied forces set out, they set a withdrawal date and left Beijing before June 1 1.
