may 13, 1799 - Da Emperor Jiao shing
Description:
He banned the opium trades completely. But the British and the Chinese merchants that were becoming rich by selling the opium didn’t stop.
People that still wanted to make money by selling opium smuggled it in. Right before they got off their boat, they dropped the opium in the sea and someone else smuggled the opium from the shore.
