Gui Liang
[edit]was obviously not in Korea in 1866, having died four years earlier. The short biography describing the journal's supposed author, however, makes clear that Gui Liang was intended; no other Red-Banner Manchus were members of the Grand Council ("Nou ou fou") in the relevant period. Gui Liang had been involved in Western negotiations: his name may have been given in place of a lesser functionary or as part of a forgery; alternatively, his trip to Korea may have occurred at some earlier time and been moved to the year of the French invasion to garner greater interest. — LlywelynII 00:33, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
