The smoke in Humen shocked China at that time, which was a great event. At the beginning, Lin Zexu's anti-smoking campaign was recognized by Daoguang. But it didn't take long for Lin Zexu's situation to get worse.
When Britain attacked Guangzhou. Britain said that even if the coast moved northward, it would directly threaten the security of Beijing, the political power center of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, Daoguang panicked and thought that the destruction of opium in Humen was the chief culprit in this case, so all kinds of framing were on Lin Zexu's head. Some people even say that Lin Zexu is the only one who is dissatisfied with Britain. As long as the Qing Dynasty can punish Lin Zexu, the problem can be solved. So Lin Zexu became a scapegoat in vain. Was banished to Yili, Xinjiang. Aunt Lin Zexu just chose to take the blame silently, because he may have seen this incompetent Qing government clearly.
General Yili warmly entertained Lin Zexu with wild pork. First of all, because he thinks that Lin Zexu is not a mortal, his superhuman ability and great potential may lead him to be recalled one day, be regarded as a big official, and have more contacts.
Secondly, it may be more because General Ili himself is more talented. He knew that Lin Zexu was a rare man with lofty ideals in the late Qing Dynasty, and his feelings of patriotism and love for the people were well known. He is therefore worthy of respect.
