The process of Lin Zexu s smoking ban, and what method Lin Zexu used to sell cigarettes

On March 18, 1839, Lin Zexu issued two edicts.

On March 19, 1839, an order was issued prohibiting foreigners from leaving Canton.

On March 21, 1839, the siege of the merchant hall was ordered.

On March 22, 1839, an order was issued to arrest the British opium dealers.

On April 10, 1839, Lin Zexu, Deng Tingzhen, and Deng personally went to Humen to inspect the preparations before the seizure.

The collection began on April 11, 1839, and Lin Zexu personally supervised the entire process of collection. On May 18, 1839, after 34 days, a total of 19,187 boxes of tobacco and soil, and 2,119 bags, with a total weight of 1188127 kilograms, were confiscated.

On June 3, 1839, after 23 days of gunsmoke in Humen, under the command of Lin Zexu, the Chinese nation was determined not to succumb to aggression to the whole world.

The sale of tobacco in Humen is an unprecedented feat in the history of mankind, and the sale of tobacco in Humen shows the incomparable great image of the Chinese nation and is a victory in resisting foreign aggression. Lin Zexu is the organizer, commander and completer of this event as a matter of course. In this sense, he has unashamedly become a giant of history.

For example, Lin Zexu's ban on smoking is definitely an accident. However, the situation at that time was such that the following lines of thought had to be followed in the process of providing answers to the question of opium on the people: (1) First of all, it was necessary to point out one's own point of view. This view is wrong.

I can't figure out a sentence, go to the encyclopedia and look at Lin Zexu, where it is detailed and accurate.

<> Lin Zexu used seawater immersion to sell cigarettes. Lin Zexu originally wanted to transport the opium back to Jingshi to be destroyed, but Yushi Deng Ying thought that in order to prevent the opium from being secretly replaced, it would be better to destroy it on the spot, and Emperor Daoguang agreed. Lin Zexu decided to sell cigarettes openly in Humen, and then Lin Zexu had to find a way to destroy opium.

Lin Zexu once used the traditional "tobacco soil mixed with tung oil incineration method" to destroy opium, but the residue of the paste would seep into the ground, and drug addicts would dig into the ground to extract soil, and still get two or three out of ten. So Lin Zexu found the second method, "seawater immersion method". The method of seawater immersion method is to dig two pools by the sea, and the bottom of the pools is paved with stones, in order to prevent opium leakage, nail boards around it, and then dig a ditch.

Pour the salt water into the gutter. Then cut the tobacco into four petals, pour in salt water, soak for half a day, and then put in lime, the lime will boil when it encounters water, and the tobacco will dissolve. The soldiers kept stirring in the pool with wooden rakes until the tobacco was completely dissolved into the water.

When the tide is low, the pool water is sent out of the ocean and the bottom of the pool is washed with clean water without leaving a trickle.
