Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

After driving back home, Qi Cheng heated up yesterday's braised pork and lay down on the sofa after eating. He was quite tired after working all day.

"Let's start selecting people for today."

Qin Shi Huang stared at the front with burning eyes. He was a little angry because he didn't get the chance yesterday. He must be chosen today. He wanted to ask why the Qin Dynasty did not last for thousands of years.

Liu Bang smiled and asked his ministers to prepare. He had already known from the sky that he had a son who was the emperor and did a good job, so he didn't care about the rest.

As long as the Han Dynasty can pass it on, it will be fine.

People in other dynasties were highly focused.

The green button flashed and most people didn't even react.

"Today is Xia Wanchun from the Ming Dynasty."

Qi Cheng sat up on the sofa with a serious expression. He remembered that this man was a hero who fought against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty and was only seventeen years old when he died.

There is also a very famous song called "Bie Yunjian".

"I'm Xia Wanchun, the secretary of the Prince of Lu... I... want to know about the late Qing Dynasty, is that okay? I saw that the people introduced by Tianmu were embarrassing."

"Sure, sure." Qi Cheng was a little puzzled as to why this person didn't ask about the late Ming Dynasty. Perhaps he felt that the situation was too serious to be reversed.

"Where are you now?" Qi Cheng asked with concern, "Have you been captured by the Qing soldiers?"

"I'm already in jail."

Qi Cheng sighed and said, "Ah, the poem 'Farewell to the Clouds' you wrote is really good. I learned this poem when I was a child. 'The mountains and rivers are filled with tears, who says the world is vast?'"

After searching for some information on the tablet, he spoke slowly.

"The events of the late Qing Dynasty were quite complicated. On the one hand, they were corrupt and incompetent, and on the other hand, they were facing a major change that had not been seen in a thousand years. The feudal social experience from the Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty was completely useless."

"To put it in another way, the Qing Dynasty was like a dilapidated horse-drawn carriage. Although they kept trying to decorate it, it was still no match for the speed of a train."

Thinking about the humiliation brought by the late Qing Dynasty, Qi Cheng found a photo on the tablet and showed it to everyone.

Looking at the gorgeous flowers, ancient people from all dynasties were somewhat puzzled.

"This thing is the opium poppy. After the flower dies, it grows an upward-pointing knob with some white liquid inside. After it's refined, it becomes opium."

"The humiliation of the late Qing Dynasty had a lot to do with this stuff. Once you get addicted to it, your life is basically worse than death." Qi Cheng said in a low voice, "And in the late Qing Dynasty, the number of people smoking opium was like a river of crucian carp."

Looking at the picture of you that Qi Cheng found, the ancient people of all dynasties became serious. It turns out that this thing is so vicious. If you get infected, your family will be destroyed.

Daqin

Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si to issue a notice to all places, asking them to eradicate such things as soon as they were seen. He also sent officials to inspect the areas below, and anyone who did not do a good job would be dismissed on the spot.

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin carefully looked at the flowers and finished products on the sky curtain. He felt as if he had seen them somewhere before. After asking his ministers, he learned that such things already existed in the Tang Dynasty.

Most of them are used as medicine.

It is not called opium, but aphrodisiac.

"Issue an order to confiscate all opium. From now on, any opium brought in by foreign merchants will also be confiscated at the border. We will not allow it to be easily released into the hands of the people."

Everyone looked at the tragic scene on the sky, and the ministers nodded in agreement. This thing was simply a demon, and if they were to come into contact with it, they would rather die immediately.

Qing Dynasty

The atmosphere in the palace had reached freezing point. Emperor Kangxi stared at the sky with red eyes. Some of the photos on it were of dignitaries.

"Strictly prohibited!" Kangxi roared loudly, "If any of you princes open a smoking den, close it immediately. If I find out, I will kill you as a sacrifice!"

At the same time, he was also worried about the Emperor Shunzhi in some unknown time and space. Broadcasting these things on the sky screen might increase the resistance at that time.

Forget it, let my father worry about it himself, maybe he won’t become a monk this way.

……

"The rampant spread of opium during the Qing Dynasty was inseparable from the imperial court at the time, as the Qing Dynasty repeatedly switched between three options: strict prohibition, prohibition through conscription, and using domestic opium to defeat foreign opium."

What the hell!

Use local opium to defeat foreign opium?

Emperors of all dynasties were stunned. Which idiot came up with this idea? Local opium also harms the people and exploits the countryside.

Emperor Kangxi pointed at the princes and scolded them. If he knew which of his descendants agreed to this, he would definitely dig his brain out to find out.

"During the reign of Emperor Daoguang, Lin Zexu was sent to Humen, Guangdong to destroy opium. Lin Zexu lived up to expectations and destroyed 2376254 kilograms of opium, dealing a heavy blow to the British."

"Later, England used this as an excuse to start the First Opium War. They had over 60 ships and 4,000 men, and they captured Humen, Ninghai, and other cities, and later even reached Tianjin."

"Emperor Daoguang was afraid and exiled Lin Zexu to Xinjiang and sent people to sign the Treaty of Nanjing."

"This was the first unequal treaty. It ceded Hong Kong, opened up treaty ports like Guangzhou, and demanded a compensation of 21 million silver dollars from England."

“And at the same time, customs autonomy has been lost.”

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin looked at the ministers around him, his eyes revealing confusion. Emperor Daoguang was too weird. Wasn't he letting his ministers take the blame?

Who would be willing to serve the court in the future?

At the beginning he thought it was a huge war, but it turned out that the enemy had only 4,000 people and was on the sea. Why was he so scared?

Aren't these a bunch of cowards?

Ming Dynasty

Zhu Di despised the Qing emperor even more. He was defeated with only 4,000 men? Were the generals of that time just eating for free? They couldn't defeat 4,000 men.

Qing Dynasty

Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he threw the cup in his hand. The Qing Dynasty's cavalry and archery were invincible, so how could they be defeated by 4,000 people who came from thousands of miles away?

Fortify the walls and clear the fields.

"Tell me, if you were to encounter this situation now, what would you do?"

Prince Yinzhen of Zhi County stood up and said, "They are exhausted from their journey and unfamiliar with the geography. We can lure them inland and mobilize the three camps. We will ensure that they are slaughtered without a trace!"

"Father, I am willing to lead the troops right now to attack this so-called England. When the time comes, I will capture their emperor and present him to the Meridian Gate."

The fourth brother Yinzhen curled his lips. This eldest brother was really brainless. He even wanted to attack England. He probably didn't even know where England was.

There are no navy in the three camps.

"You say, Prince."

"Father, I think we should... we should find a minister to take charge. I just need to stay in the palace. If this minister can't handle it well, we can replace him."
