鸦片战争期间英军在大连地区军事行动之考察

A Research on the British Army's Operations at Dalian during the Opium Wars

两次鸦片战争期间,作为京津门户的大连,见证了英军的侵扰和跋扈。英军在这里的活动虽然主要限于补给和集结等非直接作战行动,但是,英军在大连地区的活动极大地提高了英军在鸦片战争中的作战能力。对这段隐匿的历史进行考察和挖掘,不仅有助于全面且深入地了解英军在鸦片战争中的军事活动、作战目标,而且对于理解大连之所以成为中国近代史上列强争夺的重要地区的原因也大有裨益。

As the gateway to Beijing and Tianjin, Dalian witnessed the invasion,harassment and bullying by British army during the two Opium Wars in the middle of 19th century. A direct exposure of this period of hidden history will facilitate the research on Opium Wars and the modern history of Dalian as well.
