Agriculture and cottage industries were still dominant in the Qing Dynasty. It has a huge and underdeveloped commercial market, so Britain exported a lot of goods to the Qing Dynasty. Tea, porcelain and silk in the Qing dynasty were also very popular in the European market, but Britain was not satisfied with the profits.
Britain began to smuggle opium. This special opium can be addictive, and British capitalists have made huge profits from it. Daoguang emperor hated this kind of thing, so he sent Lin Zexu to Humen to destroy opium. However, Britain used this as an excuse to launch the first Opium War.
The Opium War is a dark history that is difficult to uncover in the late Qing Dynasty. As a history, we should keep it in mind in order to develop it permanently and in the long run. One of the drug lords produced 14 tons of drugs, and after being arrested, he even used the hatred of the Opium War to justify his behavior. It is really incredible.
Liu Zhaohua is suspected of selling and producing ice, and the amount exceeds 14 tons, which is a huge number. After being discovered, it became the first of the five drug lords. So how did Liu Zhaohua get on this road?
Liu Zhaohua, 1965, was born in a very ordinary family in Fujian. There are many children in this family. His father makes tofu for a living and his family is very poor. 12 years old, his father died, and the burden of family fell on his mother.
Liu Zhaohua is more mature than his peers, and the idea of making money is buried in his heart. He studies hard and wants to change his destiny with knowledge. He got good grades in chemistry, and he was at the top of his class in every exam. He also likes to mend some chemical experiments by himself. If nothing happens, he may work in the research room.
In the second year of high school, the family really can't afford to go to school. Liu Zhaohua gave up his studies and chose to join the army. After changing jobs from the army, he worked as a bailiff. Because of this experience, his investigation ability and anti-investigation ability are extremely strong.
There was an entrepreneurial craze in the 1980s, and people went to the sea to look for opportunities. Liu Zhaohua also quit his stable job, contracted 15 mu of land and invested in building a plastic factory. It is difficult for him to start a plastic factory by himself. He met many foreign businessmen under the introduction of his friends, one of whom is Chen Bingxi.
Chen Bingxi often wandered abroad to learn about the meth market. He supplied Liu Zhaohua with raw materials, but he had to modify the formula himself. The two hit it off, and the original plastic factory became a drug factory.
Liu Zhaohua groped his way. After half a year's experiment, he produced the first batch of 20~30 grams of methamphetamine and entrusted Chen Bingxi to sell it. The drug caught the attention of the police immediately after it entered the market.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Zhaohua fled to Sanya, where he married a second wife and also studied crystallization with an old professor. After the limelight passed, Liu Zhaohua continued to produce in a processing factory in Chishui Village, Guangdong Province, and with professional knowledge, Liu Zhaohua produced more and more drugs at one time.
1999, he churned out 12 tons of methamphetamine at one time and shipped it to Guangzhou for sale in Europe and America. The police immediately stopped him, and Liu Zhaohua ran away again. He fled for five years, and Liu Zhaohua should have gone over the limelight and sneaked back to Fujian, but I didn't expect the police to give up the arrest from beginning to end.
Liu Zhaohua was finally arrested in a private house in Fu 'an. After his arrest, he was very practical. He talked and laughed when questioned by the police. He also said that foreigners used opium to open the door of the Qing Dynasty. This is my revenge for the Opium War.
Liu Zhaohua didn't realize the harm of drugs at all. He did not hesitate to do these illegal and criminal things for the benefit, and even used "revenge" to excuse himself.
Milan Kunde said: Never think that we can escape, every step of us determines the final outcome, and our feet are heading for the end of our own choice.
From the moment Liu Zhaohua chose to make drugs for profit, he was doomed to lead himself to the end of no return. In court, he is still defending himself, throwing all kinds of amazing words and thinking that he is a "meritorious person." It is lawless and whimsical to want to be given a lighter punishment.
After the trial, Liu Zhaohua finally paid the due price for his actions-the death penalty.
