(National hero Lin Zexu appeared, and book friends voted for it!) Comments are welcome! ）

On September 20, 1828 (June 3, 1839 in history), Lin Zexu took office for more than three months, Guangdong took on a new look, and opium was basically controlled in Guangdong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A large amount of opium, totaling more than 20,000 boxes, about 3 million catties, was ordered by Lin Zexu to be hoarded in Humen, Guangdong.

On this day, the sky was clear, Humen Beach, opium was piled up, and the people watching next to it were crowded and bustling.

Lin Zexu stood on the high platform, holding a shouting microphone, and said: "Compatriots, opium is harmful to people, and we have suffered a lot for many years. Opium is not exhausted for a day, I will not return for a day, and I swear to be consistent with this matter, and there is no reason to end. ”

In other words, under the witness of tens of millions of people, Lin Zexu ordered the sluice gate to be opened and the water was released, leading the sea water to the mountain of opium.

The stabbing sound continued, and the opium rose with white smoke along with the box, dissolving at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Brother, how could this opium be burned when it came into contact with water?" In the crowd, Hong Renkong was also there, and he naturally would not miss this righteous act that made the Chinese people proud and inspired the national spirit.

Seeing Shi Yuncheng, Du Huizhen and the others looking at each other, Hong Renkong explained with a smile: "This opium is sprinkled with a large amount of quicklime, and the main component of quicklime is calcium oxide, which will undergo a chemical reaction when it encounters water and under the action of air...... Ahem, that is, quicklime will release heat when exposed to water. Seeing that everyone was looking at him like listening to the book of heaven, Hong Renkong suddenly woke up and hurriedly explained simply.

"My brother is really knowledgeable." Shi Yuncheng was amazed, attracting everyone's unanimous pandering, only Chen Daonian muttered hatefully, "Pretending." ”

The scene of Humen selling cigarettes is far more spectacular than Hong Ren's fantasy, such as the mountain of opium smoke everywhere, the sound of stabbing is endless, the surging sea water is rushing, every collision is the release of heat and smoke, every fusion is the flow of blood and tears, tens of millions of people are silent, quietly watching the opium slowly burned in the collision of the sea.

Some people lamented and lamented that the million catties of opium were wasted like this, and some people applauded, glad that opium could not harm people from now on, and of course, the latter stood in the majority.

"Lord Lin, you have eliminated harm for the people!"

"Lord Lin, you are a good official."

"Lord Lin, thank you, you are the Lord of the Blue Sky!"

……

Looking at the opium that was slowly consumed in the vigor, thinking that these harmful things were destroyed not long ago, their families were destroyed, their wives were separated, and now they were finally burned, the people were grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and many people knelt down to express their gratitude to Lin Zexu.

Lin Zexu was not shocked, looked to the north, and said loudly: "Compatriots, this is what we should do for officials, and if you are grateful, thank the emperor!" It is the emperor who takes pity on his people, and hereby sends me to eliminate disasters for the people and eliminate harm for the people! ”

Don't forget the emperor's grace in every word and deed, Lin Zexu's loyalty really has nothing to say.

Hearing this, the people shouted in unison, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live...... "Long live the emperor" several times in a row, endlessly.

"Xiuquan, this Lin Zexu is a good official, and the Qing court has not decayed yet!" Song Guanyou felt a little lonely, obviously, in his opinion, the ideal of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty was becoming more and more impossible to realize.

"Lin Zexu is naturally a good official, if the officials of the Qing Dynasty are like him Lin Zexu, it is not a matter of whether the people's rebellion can succeed, but I am afraid that there will be no dissent in this world." It's a pity that Hong Renkong shook his head, "He is a good official, but he was born in the wrong era." ”

"Oh, why does my brother think so?" Luo Outline asked, although Hong Renkong is not very old, but after such a long period of contact, everyone is extremely impressed by Hong Renkong's extraordinary insight, so Luo Outline asked Everyone looked over and waited for Hong Renkong's next words.

"Traitorous ministers are in charge, although good officials are good, but it is difficult to make a difference, and in less than half a year, Lin Zexu is afraid that he will disappear." Hong Renkong's voice fell, leaving a little stunned crowd, and slowly walked into the distance, Humen cigarettes took a long time, since he had seen it, he naturally would not stay for long.

When everyone saw Hong Renkong leaving, they naturally followed, Lin Yu was a little dodgy, and kept paying attention to Lin Zexu on the high platform, as if he was a little afraid of being seen, relying on Du Huizhen, who was a little inexplicable, and avoided Lin Zexu's sight and left.

Humen sold cigarettes, because of Hong Renkong's advice and Chun's greed for money, which led to the rapid expansion of opium harm, which happened in history in advance.

Its role as the fuse of the Opium War has not changed, and many wars have quickly emerged because of the early occurrence of this event, and the First Opium War has also begun.

At the beginning of October 1828, the British army sent 47 warships and 4,000 troops to blockade the sea outside the mouth of the Pearl River under the leadership of Rear Admiral Yilu and the commercial superintendent Yilu in China, and captured Xiamen and Dinghai.

Although Lin Zexu and Guan Tianpei fought bravely, due to backward weapons, rotten tactics, and blind arrogance of the Qing Dynasty, they were finally defeated, with 63 British soldiers killed and 22,790 Qing soldiers killed, a crushing defeat.

In mid-October, the British army attacked in a big way, capturing Guangzhou South Street, and finally temporarily retreated after receiving an indemnity of 6 million taels of silver.

In November, Zhapu fell, the British army captured Zhenjiang, approached Nanjing, and the Qing Dynasty's Manchurian Eight Banners were annihilated.

In less than March, the Qing army continued to be defeated, the British army was pressing step by step, the situation was in crisis, and Lin Zexu was recalled by Emperor Daoguang due to the defeat in the battle.

In the Forbidden City, in the court, Emperor Daoguang seemed to be ten years old, his hair was a little gray, and the corners of his eyebrows were worried.

Emperor Daoguang glanced at Lin Zexu, then moved his eyes away, and asked with some vicissitudes: "Everyone, Aiqing, now that the military is urgent and the foreigners are pressing, what should Zheng do?" All Aiqing have opened their mouths, and they will listen to Zheng! ”

"Emperor Qiqi" walked out alone, with a sneer, I really don't know why he is still laughing at this time.

Emperor Daoguang naturally didn't care about this, but asked with some surprise: "What is Qi Aiqing's good plan?" ”

The one who was asked was the Qing Dynasty important minister Qi Ying, who was above Lin Zexu, and arched his hand, Qi Ying was generous and said: "Your Majesty, the strength of foreigners is strong, and everyone knows it, but after all, it is a foreigner, and it must be short-sighted, we should be the Lord and give him some benefits!" Our Qing Dynasty has a great cause, even if we give them a little favor, they will be grateful and disrespectful, and they will not violate our borders. ”

As soon as Qiying's words came out, Lin Zexu's face changed greatly, but before he could speak, many ministers also echoed him.

"Yes! Your Majesty, our Qing Dynasty has always loved peace, and peace should be precious! ”

"What the elder said is reasonable." Above the court, there were almost no people who made suggestions to Qiying, Emperor Daoguang was silent, thought for a moment, and saw that Lin Zexu wanted to speak and stopped, and asked: "What did Lin Aiqing say?" ”
