Zhu Youjian didn't know what acacia was, but after hearing that acacia could be addictive, Zhu Youjian's first consciousness was that acacia was a drug and opium.
Although Zhu Youjian did not like the Qing Dynasty, he felt that the Song, Yuan and Qing Dynasties were all humiliations imposed on the Han people.
But no Chinese can forget the harm drugs have done to the Chinese nation.
We should not forget the title of "Sick Man of East Asia". Opium has made a huge contribution.
Opium is the primary product of poppy.
Generally, raw opium is processed into mature opium, and then rolled into pellets or strips. After it is cooked on a fire until soft, it is stuffed into the pot of a bong. The pot is turned over to aim at the flame and the smoke produced is smoked. Drug addicts become addicted to cigarettes. A moderate person will smoke 10 to 20 times a day, and a severe person will smoke more than a hundred times a day. Nowadays, drug addicts often swallow opium pellets directly, or dissolve opium in water and directly inject it intravenously with a needle.
Why does opium produce poison in the human body? What are the reasons?
It turns out that under normal circumstances, there is a constant amount of opioid-like substances produced in the human body that act on something called a receptor in the human body. In medicine, they are called "endogenous opioids" and "opioid receptors". Corresponding to the former, opioids ingested from outside are called “exogenous opioids.”
Constant endogenous opioids regulate many neurohumoral immune systems in the body through opioid receptors and their opioid peptide systems to maintain normal internal functional balance. When opioid addicts inhale large amounts of exogenous opioids for a long time, endogenous opioids in the body Sexual opioids are reduced by inhibition.
If the addict continues to take the drug at this time, a sufficient amount of exogenous opioids will replace the endogenous opioids, and the opioid receptors and their opioid peptide system will regulate various systems in the body, allowing the body's functions to be temporarily maintained normal.
Once an addict stops taking drugs, the exogenous opioids are suddenly reduced or blocked, resulting in a simultaneous lack of endogenous and exogenous opioids in the body, and then a breakdown of the opioid receptors and their opioid peptide system occurs. Regulation disorders, various symptoms commonly known as "drug addiction" occur.
Opium is used as a drug, and long-term or excessive use can cause drug dependence; taking it as a drug can cause irreparable damage to the human body and even cause death. After smoking opium, you may initially feel euphoric, unable to concentrate, and have dreamy phenomena, leading to a high degree of psychological and physiological dependence. After long-term use, you will develop drug craving, restlessness, tears, sweating, runny nose, irritability, and trembling. , chills, chills, anorexia, constipation, diarrhea, body curling, cramps and other withdrawal symptoms; excessive use can cause acute poisoning, with symptoms including coma, respiratory depression, hypotension, pupil dilation, and severe respiratory depression leading to death. .
Opium had been imported in small quantities as early as the Tang Dynasty. During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, opium was also included in the tributes of various Southeast Asian countries, but it was all used as medicinal materials. Western colonial countries trafficked opium to China. Portugal and the Netherlands were the first to import opium to China, using Macao as their base.
By the late 18th century, Britain's demand for Chinese silk tea was increasing, but its industrial products found it difficult to find sales in China, where the natural economy dominated. In order to reverse the situation of having to offset the trade balance with cash, Britain and its businessmen actively developed the opium trade that poisoned the Chinese people.
In 1757, the British occupied Bengal, the origin of opium in India. In 1773, the British East India Company obtained the opium monopoly. In 1797, it monopolized the opium manufacturing rights. Under the control of this agency, the British opium trade with China developed rapidly. After entering the 19th century, the number of opium shipped to China by the British gradually increased, from three to four thousand boxes per year to 10,000 or 20,000 boxes per year. At the same time, American businessmen also trafficked large quantities of opium to China.
Since the beginning of the 19th century, the amount of opium transported into China by merchants from various countries over the years is estimated in the table below: Among them, British merchants trafficked the largest amount, followed by American merchants. American businessmen mainly trafficked opium produced in Turkey and Persia. From 1806 to 1834, according to reduced customs declaration figures, American merchants shipped a total of 8,901 boxes of opium from Turkey to Guangzhou. Μ.八七七Ｚω.Ｃοm
"If we still look forward to it, it will mean that in a few decades, the Central Plains will have few soldiers who can defend the enemy, and there will be no silver to pay for it." This is what Lin Zexuzi said before the ban on smoking.
Opium not only endangers people's lives and health, but also cuts off the foundation of the country.
If it is not cut off directly now, the harm to the Ming Dynasty will definitely be no less than the harm to the Qing Dynasty.
Zhu Youjian seemed a little panicked, because he knew the harm of these drugs, but he did not expect that Daming would be so serious.
At the same time, I felt a little excited. Fortunately, I discovered it early, otherwise I would have been in trouble.
