Chapter 63 Curiosity about the Modern World after Opium
【 “The Harmfulness of Opium”
The opium trade caused an economic crisis in the Qing Dynasty, and the Opium Wars began to shake the Qing Dynasty's rule. Foreigners trampled on the dignity of the Qing court from outside, and there were uprisings such as the Taiping Rebellion from within.
In 1880, the population of the Qing Dynasty was about 3.64 million, and it is estimated that there were about 4000 million opium addicts. If a large number of people in a country were addicted to opium, the country would fall into decadence in the long run.
Most importantly, opium corrupts all classes.
At that time, the Qing nobles smoked opium, ministers smoked opium, officers smoked opium, and soldiers in the army were absolute addicts who smoked opium every day and did not participate in drills.
Of course, it is not just the upper class that smokes opium, but also the poor people in the lower class. Opium has the effect of paralyzing people's nerves, making people feel unusually comfortable, so many people at the bottom of society also choose to smoke opium. However, due to its addictive nature, it will eventually make people decadent, skinny and sickly.
Once addicted to opium, whether rich or poor, they would spend all their belongings to buy it, eventually ruining their families.
"If this continues, China will have no soldiers left to use!"
In the late Qing Dynasty, we were given the shameful title of "the sick man of East Asia". It took us a long time to completely clear ourselves of this shameful title, so that the Chinese people could stand up again and become an important part of the world. It took many generations for opium to be officially banned after the founding of the People's Republic of China!
Although the era of the late Qing Dynasty has passed, we should now remember the harm and shame it brought!
Remember Lin Zexu, who worked hard to clear the fog and took the lead in banning opium in that era; remember Zhang Chaofa, who stood firm on the battlefield with his soldiers and vowed not to retreat;
Remember Guan Tianpei, who died tragically for his country at the age of over 400 due to the changing times; remember the heroic sacrifices of more than soldiers at the Jingyuan Fort; remember the cultural relics in the British Museum that have not yet been returned; remember the two robbers, England and France! 】
[Okay, we've been talking for a long time so let's end it here! There will be a little easter egg later, everyone remember to watch it, bye~]
< With self-production and self-sale, more and more poor people can smoke… From the original aristocracy to people of all classes>
< The poorer you are, the more you smoke >
< At that time, the Qing Dynasty would have been doomed whether it had been open or closed. The difference was that in one case, it was doomed by itself, while in the other, everyone else was doomed together.>
< All the great powers miss the Qing Dynasty, and finally become the Qing Dynasty [dog head]>
< I hate Qing Chui, what else can Qing Chui be? ? ? Just a map>
<The Qing Dynasty is part of our history anyway, whether good or bad, it is a thing of the past. As the up said, we remember the shame and learn from it>
<I hate the Qing Dynasty because there are too many TV dramas about the Qing Dynasty…I’m tired of watching dramas about pigtails>
<Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong were all OK in their early years, and it was because of the Qing Dynasty that our current territory was established, although they also lost a lot [laughing and crying] >
<Alas, the cycle of history, according to records, a British man could chase a group of Qing soldiers...[Helpless] >
< I don’t praise any dynasty, nor am I a fan of any feudal dynasty. I only praise the People’s Republic of China! >
<This is so fucking annoying. The more I read about the history of that period, the more I hate the Qing Dynasty>
< The most hated dynasties: Qing, Jin, and Song>
<I went to learn about the Opium War before, and it really made me depressed…>
<I suggest you read "History of Southern Ming Dynasty" again: Bandits guard the country's gates, pirates die for the country. [狗头]>
<Thanks to the motherland, we should ban drugs. Anyone who whitewashes drugs should go back and take a good history class.>
……
Pity their misfortune and be angry at their lack of resistance. After Li Ranran made a brief comment on this episode's video, he realized it was too late, so he turned off the video and prepared to go to bed.
People from all walks of life are once again curious about the current People's Republic of China: What kind of country is it that is loved by everyone?
How incredible it is that a country has the word "people" in its name.
Kangxi was a little depressed: the historical evaluation of the Qing Dynasty was really bad, and it was even compared with the Jin and Song dynasties.
Zhao Kuangyin was also depressed: the Qing Dynasty ceded land and paid compensation, the Jin Dynasty's Five Barbarians invaded China, and the Song Dynasty had reached this point!!!
Qianlong was furious: What do you mean Qianlong in the early period was okay? I...I...
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng thought that Qing Zhen was a schizophrenic, powerful in the early stage, but in the later stage...
So why should we follow the world trend? In fact, we should keep developing?
Zhu Youjian also gradually guessed what it meant to be a bandit guarding the country's gates and a pirate dying for the country. He felt even more sorry for the people of the Ming Dynasty because his series of actions led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty and made them suffer the disaster of national destruction.

Qing Dynasty, the 18th year of Daoguang
Grand Councilor Mu Zhang'a, Pan Shien, Wang Ding, Kuizhao, Wen Qing and others have finally arrived!
Emperor Daoguang asked directly: "Is there any solution to what Guangmu said today?"
Everyone looked at each other, this was not easy to say.
"Your Majesty, I believe we should follow the will of heaven and vigorously ban opium." Mu Zhang'a answered first.
"I agree with the Grand Secretary's opinion." Pan Shien and Kuizhao echoed.
Wang Ding and Wen Qing have always been upright people, and they did not refute Mu Zhang'a's proposal this time.
Emperor Daoguang asked again: "Is Lin Zexu likely to be important?"
Wang Dingli mainly strengthened himself and acted as a guarantor for Lin Zexu.
"Lin Zexu is an honest man, and the government has praised him a lot. I think he should be entrusted with important tasks."
"I dare to ask the emperor to order us to prepare for war as soon as possible."
In his heart, Daoguang still did not want war to happen.
Wenqing also agreed with Wang Ding's opinion, "We must guard against the wolfish ambitions of foreigners such as Britain, and opium smokers in all regions of the country should be strictly stopped!"
The light curtain also mentioned many times that this war is indispensable, if not this time then next time. Rather than passively being beaten, it is better to prepare early.
Daoguang finally agreed reluctantly.
Hubei Province
Lin Zexu guessed that the emperor's decree would soon reach Hubei, so he wanted to make a detailed analysis of the foreign barbarians and the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty during this period so that he could present it to the emperor when he went to Beijing for an audience.
"People's Republic of China?" Many of Lin Zexu's confusions were finally clarified after he watched the Dynasty Song at the end of this video.
It turns out to be the country after the Qing Dynasty. Combining the comments, it is not difficult to guess that the country did not have a good time afterwards.
"The imperial system has become a loose sand! No wonder... No wonder..." Lin Zexu found it difficult to change after being suddenly exposed to these things.
It took me a day to quickly watch the other videos. When I saw the Japanese provocation during the Sino-Japanese War, Lin Zexu angrily slammed the table. When I saw what Empress Dowager Cixi said, Lin Zexu cursed loudly again!
"The Qing dynasty became increasingly corrupt and did these things, so it is hard to blame them for not being popular."
The others also discovered that this light screen could also look back at the past? So after learning about the future of the Qing Dynasty, their minds became active.
