When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

With Xiang Yu's height, he is not short even if he is on a basketball team.

It was quite explosive in ancient times.

"Xiang Yu of the Qin Dynasty meets the Emperor of Sui!"

Yang Guang was stunned: "Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, Xiang Yu!"

The First Emperor said, "That was history. Now it's the Dragon and Tiger General Xiang Yu of the Qin Dynasty. What do you think of him? Is he a fierce general?"

"Let's not talk about other things. Just look at this body shape. None of the generals of the Great Sui Dynasty have such an exaggerated figure. It's not an exaggeration to be the King of Western Chu. Can you lift a tripod?"

"Xiao Xiang, go and perform for Lao Yang."

There was a bronze tripod not far away. Xiang Yu walked over and shook it a few times. It was much lighter than the tripod he had lifted before, only about 300 pounds. He pulled it hard with both arms.

Then he lifted the bronze tripod into the air.

"Well, you are worthy of being the legendary King of Western Chu. It's a pity that Li Yuan's family doesn't have Li Yuanba, otherwise you two could have competed with each other. By the way, why are you guys here suddenly? It's not the day for the party yet."

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "Isn't it that I have guests coming over? I want to go and greet them."

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Such a large battle, could it be that the coming is some wise and virtuous king, could it be my father?"

Zhu Ming shook his head: "That's not the case. The one who came this time is the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"

"What, that big braid dynasty? Come, bring me my electric baton. I will kill him later. The thing that brings loss of sovereignty and humiliation to the country has finally appeared." Yang Guang said angrily.

Wude Tang Dynasty
Li Yuan drank alone.

I saw several people coming.

With a smile on his face, he said, "What brings you here? I'm just having a drink and I'm not happy. Come sit down quickly. And who is this person? Why is he so tall and strong?"

"Xiang Yu meets the Emperor of Tang!"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at the First Emperor. After all, Xiang Yu was one of the main forces in destroying Qin.

He made a lot of contributions to the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

Feeling Li Yuan's puzzled gaze, the First Emperor could not help but say: "The Great Qin today is not the Great Qin you are familiar with. Many of the nobles of the six countries fled overseas, and those who stayed behind were also integrated into the Great Qin. Xiang Yu was a great talent recruited through the military examination, and he was the top martial arts champion!"

Li Yuan nodded: "No wonder, it's good that the Qin Dynasty has gained such a powerful general, and its strength will be even stronger!"

After some business exaggeration, Li Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come here so suddenly without notifying me in advance?"

Zhu Ming chuckled: "Nothing, I'll take you to meet the newcomers!"

Li Yuan was shocked. Both the Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han had come, so the newcomer must be someone important.

"I don't know who it is. Do I need to go and greet him in person?"

"Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, do you think we should welcome him?"

Li Yuan was stunned, then stood up in surprise and shouted, "Welcome, you must welcome me. Someone, bring me my whip and a pair of scissors. Don't you like long braids? This time I must cut off all their braids. It makes me angry just by looking at them!"

Zhenguan Li Shimin

We had just experienced the Turks' southward advance, and if it hadn't been for the help of other dynasties.

They were about to sign the Weishui Alliance, which they would regard as a lifelong shame.

I heard that the Qing Dynasty was much more powerful than myself and had signed a thick stack of treaties.

If you win, it's a draw, let alone if you lose.

The main theme is "Whoever offends the Qing Dynasty must pay compensation no matter how far away they are!"

I felt very angry.

"I'm actually a kind person, but the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were complacent and brought shame to the Chinese nation. We must teach them a bloody lesson. Someone, bring me my Glowing Sword and consecrate it with the Emperor's blood. I wonder what the effect will be!"

Zhu Ming's mouth twitched and he said silently in his heart.

If I hadn't known about your involvement in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, in which you killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and captured your nephew, I would have thought you were quite kind.

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "What a kind person! I have taught you to live in harmony with your brothers and not to lie since you were young. You didn't listen to me at all. You killed your own brother and are still pretending to be a good person here!"

Old Yang said with a sneer on his face: "Don't think that I killed Yang Yong. I am actually quite kind. I only put my nephews under house arrest. It's just that I didn't take good care of them and some accidents happened."

Great Song.

After Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he kept colliding his fists.

Zhao Kuangyin had no good feelings towards foreigners.

Think about what happened to the Song Dynasty later.

The Jingkang Shame. Every time he thought of this incident, Old Zhao felt that he could not hold his head up in front of other emperors.

In the end, the country was destroyed by foreign races.

The Qing Dynasty was also established by foreign races, and Zhao Kuangyin had no good feelings towards them at all.

"Come here, bring me my boxing gloves. I have practiced boxing for decades, and today I have mastered a set of Taizu Changquan. Let me use the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to test its power!"

大 明
Old Zhu saw that all the people had arrived and checked the calendar.

"It seems like it's not time for the party yet. Why are you all gathered together today? Also, who is this person and why is he so tall?"

Xiang Yu stepped forward and said, "Xiang Yu of the Great Qin greets the Emperor Zhu!"

Old Zhu was shocked. "Who? Are you Xiang Yu? The Xiang Yu who is so strong and powerful that he can move mountains?"

"I don't have the strength to move mountains or the courage to conquer the world. I just have a little strength." Xiang Yu said modestly.

"Impossible. Just looking at your physique, I have never seen such a strong man in the Ming Dynasty. I heard that you can lift a tripod. We don't have a suitable large tripod here, but we do have a set of barbells. Do you want to give it a try?"

Xiang Yu was a little confused: "Barbell, what is that?"

Lao Zhu shouted, "Someone, bring the barbell over here."

After a few minutes, Xiang Yu knew how to load and unload the barbell and how to add weight.

"First, try lifting 150 kilograms to see how it works. Just lift it above your head!"

Xiang Yu felt it and exerted a little force, and the 300-jin barbell had passed over his head.

It looks very relaxing.

"It's similar to the stone lock I usually lift, but it's easier to exert force." After Xiang Yu handed down the barbell, he added another 50 kilograms.

The weight of four hundred kilograms is already very amazing.

However, it is still far from Xiang Yu's limit.

Xiang Yu didn't stop until the weight reached 500 kilograms.

"Amazing! Five hundred kilograms. The tallest one in the Ming Dynasty currently weighs only about four hundred kilograms. You are worthy of being the Overlord of Western Chu!"

Zhu Ming was also very surprised: "Yes, 500 kilograms, it is very powerful for me. If I undergo scientific and systematic training, I estimate it will exceed 600 kilograms." After witnessing Xiang Yu's bravery.

Only then did Lao Zhu turn his attention to a few group members.

"Are you going to take any action? You all seem to be carrying weapons. Do you want to beat someone up?"

The First Emperor chuckled and said, "We are all civilized people. We never hit anyone. We were just going to greet a guest!"

Old Zhu was even more confused: "Guest, what kind of guest is worthy of all of you, the Qin Emperor, Han Emperor, Tang Emperor, and Song Emperor?"

"There's a new guy over at Xiao Zhu's place, from the Qing dynasty. How's he doing? Are you interested, Old Zhu?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhu stood up in a flash, extremely excited. "It's great that someone from the Qing dynasty has come. Old Zhu has been thinking about this for so long, and now he has finally appeared. This is a kneeling guest, so we must treat him well. Let's go get a few belts, I'm afraid one is not enough!"

Zhu Di is still leading the army to fight outside.

"We have captured a lot of Turks. It's a good day. On such a good day, we must drink a lot."

Take out a large plastic bucket, which is full of highly dispersed white.

Zhu Di poured himself a full cup.

“It’s good to have no one to care about you!”

"You are such a jerk. Drinking is forbidden in the army. As the commander, you broke the law knowingly. Your crime is even more serious. Fortunately, I brought a belt with me. I will beat you to death!"

Just sent over.

Seeing this scene, Old Zhu was furious.

Zhu Di suddenly softened: "Father, elder brother, several brothers, why are you here?"

"If we hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you were so happy every day!"

Zhu Di said weakly: "Father, I am now the commander of the army and an emperor. Please give me some face."

"Face is earned by yourself, not given by others!"

Xiang Yu's head was sticking to the top of the tent, attracting a lot of attention.

His strong body immediately aroused Zhu Di's interest.

"Who is this one?"

"Xiang Yu of the Qin Dynasty greets Emperor Yongle!"

"What, you are Xiang Yu?" Zhu Di was shocked.

After Qin Shihuang's explanation, Zhu Di understood why Xiang Yu appeared here.

"Brother Zheng, you see that your Great Qin is full of talented people. Now my coalition army is short of powerful generals. Do you want him to come here to train?"

The First Emperor shook his head. You, Zhu Di, have many brave generals under your command, many of whom have left their names in history. If they were in the Warring States Period, even if the seven countries joined forces, they would not be a match: "Meng Tian is enough, I must also have a fierce general to support me!"

"By the way, why did you suddenly appear here?"

Zhu Ming smiled lightly: "Nothing, it's just that someone is coming from my side, it should be the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, why don't we go and greet him!"

"Visitors from the Qing Dynasty? Mr. Potato, you must take me with you. The Yingtianzao in my hand has never seen blood!"

Daqing Pavilion

It has also been transformed by Zhu Ming.

If the doors and windows were not opened, it wouldn't be pitch dark, but it was pretty close.

Moreover, the sound insulation is very good. No matter how loud you shout inside, people outside cannot hear you at all.

At this time, there were two people inside.

"Your Majesty, I calculated with my fingers that we are probably no longer in the capital, but in an unfamiliar place."

"Do I need you to remind me where this place is? I was just visiting incognito, how come I'm here all of a sudden?"

"Could it be the work of those John Bulls? They have many tricks and may be able to do this in order to force Your Majesty not to ban smoking!"

"How is Lin Zexu doing in Guangdong and Guangxi?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that it achieved good results!"

Western colonialists smuggled opium into the Qing Dynasty on a large scale, which not only changed the normal pattern of trade and illegally plundered the Qing Dynasty's huge wealth, but also caused the spread of opium and drugs in the Qing Dynasty, posing a serious threat to the land of Yanhuang.

Smoking ban is imminent!

However, the Qing Dynasty's chief military minister Mu Zhang'a and others were unwilling to give up the huge profits from opium smuggling and advocated the legalization of the opium trade or the open ban on its secret transportation.

Lin Zexu, then governor of Huguang, refuted this sternly. He wrote to Emperor Daoguang, bitterly expounding on the harm of opium and loudly exclaiming: "When it spreads throughout the country, it will cause great harm, and the law should be strictly enforced. If we continue to ignore it, in a few decades, the Central Plains will have almost no soldiers to defend against the enemy, and no silver to pay for military pay."

Emperor Daoguang finally decided to ban opium, stripped the titles of Prince Qing Yidou and Duke Puxi, who smoked opium, and demoted Xu Naiji, who supported the anti-opium movement.

Lin Zexu was summoned to Beijing for eight consecutive days to discuss the ban on opium. Lin Zexu pointed out the harm of opium:
1. Opium caused a large outflow of silver from the Qing Dynasty, which led to a financial crisis. Between 1820 and 1840, the large outflow of silver caused by the import of opium amounted to about 1 million taels.

It seriously disrupted the Qing Dynasty's treasury and currency circulation, and brought the Qing Dynasty's economy to the brink of collapse.

2. Opium corrupted the ruling institutions of the Qing Dynasty. Many nobles, bureaucrats, and landlords became more corrupt after taking opium, which aggravated the parasitism and decadence of the ruling group. They accepted bribes, covered up opium smuggling, and passed the cost of buying opium on to the people by increasing rents and taxes, thus increasing the burden on the people.

3. Opium weakened the army's combat effectiveness. Some generals and soldiers of the Qing army also smoked opium. For example, in the Guangdong Navy, officers and soldiers not only smoked opium but also accepted bribes in large quantities. The Navy patrol ships even agreed with the John Bull opium ship to "receive 5 to 10 yuan for each box of opium", and a large number of "anti-smuggling ships" even became opium smuggling ships.

4. Opium harmed the health of the people of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, there were many opium dens in some towns of the Qing Dynasty, and there were tens of thousands of opium addicts. The rampant opium not only harmed the physical and mental health of smokers, but also destroyed people's spirit and soul. Addicts were extremely difficult to control themselves. In order to smoke a puff of opium, they would not hesitate to sell their property or even their wives and children.

Finally, on November 1838, the 12th year of the reign of Emperor Daoguang (December 31, ), Lin Zexu was appointed as the Imperial Commissioner and smoking was banned throughout the country.

As the imperial commissioner, Lin Zexu came to Guangzhou in March 1839 to ban opium.

Based on years of experience, foreign businessmen believed that Qing Dynasty officials could be bribed and that the official ban on smoking was nothing more than a lot of noise with little action.

They did not expect that the new imperial commissioner would show a completely different style.

Lin Zexu launched an anti-smoking campaign with great vigor and vitality, issuing notices to the military, civilians, gentry and businessmen, telling them that anyone who smoked opium must immediately hand over their smoking utensils and quit smoking within a specified period of time. He specifically identified major opium traffickers for arrest and ordered foreign opium dealers to hand over all opium without any room for compromise.

This caused dissatisfaction among the anti-opium faction and the Manchu nobles, but due to the imperial power of Emperor Daoguang, they dared not oppose it openly and could only obstruct it secretly. Qishan, the leader of the anti-opium faction, used coercion and bribery to coerce Lin Zexu. Later generations recorded the situation at that time:

"On the way to Zhili, I met Qishan from Zhili, who asked Wenzhong not to start border conflicts. When Wenzhong was the governor of Jiangnan, Qishan was the governor-general and had recommended Wenzhong. Now he was jealous of Wenzhong and said this. His argument seemed public but his intention was private. Wenzhong responded casually."

Gong Zizhen was also worried about Lin Zexu's safety. He suggested that Lin Zexu bring a large number of soldiers and skilled craftsmen with him so that they could immediately counterattack if a war broke out. He was willing to go south with Lin Zexu, but Lin Zexu did not want to be involved in the political vortex and politely declined Gong Zizhen's kindness.

Deng Tingzhen, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Yi Liang, the Governor of Guangdong, worked together to issue the imperial edict of Emperor Daoguang, closing down opium dens, arresting opium dealers, and ordering the execution of the big opium dealer Feng Angang.

He also required foreign merchants to pledge that "in the future, you will never smuggle opium on board. If you do, once discovered, all the goods will be confiscated and the merchants will be executed. You will plead guilty willingly."

Lin Zexu's anti-smoking campaign was strongly supported by the people, who said: "As long as opium is not eradicated, I will not return. I swear to stick to this matter from beginning to end and there is no reason to stop."

With the support of the people, Lin Zexu severely cracked down on drug dealers, punished illegal officials, and confiscated opium.

In just two months, British and American merchants handed over more than 2 boxes of opium, about 230 million kilograms.

On June 1839, 6, Lin Zexu ordered the destruction of opium on the Humen beach, which lasted 3 days until June 6. During the destruction of opium, local residents and foreigners were allowed to visit the site so that they could "see and hear together and feel the shock." (End of this chapter)
