"You are Kunsha in Southeast Asia, and all your peers in the world will call you the big guy. ”
The "Kunsha" in Zhang Songwen's mouth in "Ice Hunting" is simply the ultimate boss.
"Prince of Death", "Golden Triangle Devil", "Drug Emperor" ......
In reality, Kunsha's experience is far more legendary than people think.
He was half Chinese, orphaned at the age of 5, and at the age of 16 he used thunder to eradicate his enemies.
Relying on his father-in-law with a headshot, he successfully captured 6,000 soldiers and horses, and since then he has been calling for wind and rain in the Golden Triangle.
Kunsha's men controlled 2The 50,000-strong army and the well-equipped Khun Sa Army also made the Burmese army helpless.
Relying on drug trafficking, he openly established a state in Burma.
Although at his peak he had a monopoly on 80% of the world's drugs**.
However, he never sold drugs to China, only to European and American countries, and threatened to avenge the Opium War for the Chinese.
Western countries were tortured by Kun Sha so miserably that Lao Mei even offered a million dollars to reward Kun Sha's head.
However, this big drug lord who made the United States helpless was finally captured by Myanmar**.
He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.
Why did Kunsha, which was so powerful and helpless in Western countries, end up with a bleak end?
What are the absurd and bizarre stories of his life?
In 1933, Khun Sa was born into a Tusi family in northern Myanmar.
Khun Sha Zu is a native of Yunnan, China, who immigrated to Myanmar a long time ago.
After hundreds of years of development, the Kunsha family gradually became the toast of the local Lemo Mountain tribe.
His father, Zhang Bingyao, is already the seventh generation of their family.
Kunsha also has a Chinese name called Zhang Qifu.
Although he was the heir of the tribe, Kun Sha's childhood was full of hardships.
When he was three years old, his father died of illness.
Two years later, my mother, who was immersed in opium smoke every day, also passed away.
In this way, five-year-old Kunsha became an orphan.
In accordance with the tradition of father's death and son's succession, he became the tribe's toast.
However, the situation is complex, with frequent fights between tribes.
After the death of his parents, rival tribes set their sights on Kunsha.
Five-year-old Kunsha can only hide in the care of relatives.
If nothing else, Kunsha is likely to spend his life as a wanderer.
However, the drastic changes in the regional situation have given Kun Sha a golden opportunity.
When Kun Sha was 16 years old, many remnants of the Kuomintang army were defeated and retreated to the Golden Triangle region.
In order to gain a firm foothold in the local area, the remnants of the Kuomintang officers established a military and political university in the local area.
Don't underestimate this school, Luo Xinghan, Peng Jiasheng and others who will be on the part of Myanmar in the future have all graduated from this school.
Kun Sha also entered this school for further study, and at the same time, he also joined the remnants of the Kuomintang.
Because he was very brave in battle, he was promoted to officer.
For the survival of the troops, the remnants of the Kuomintang started an opium business.
Kun Sha often escorted opium for the Kuomintang.
As a result, on the way to escort one time, the soldiers of a certain tribe directly robbed Kunsha's opium.
Kun Sha, who was bound to repay him, naturally couldn't swallow this breath, and he directly set up the "Hongmen Banquet".
After three rounds of drinking, he directly took out a sharp blade and slashed the other party's door.
Since then, the name of the "cold-blooded butcher" has shocked Myanmar.
In order to expand his power, he became a "door-to-door son-in-law" for a very powerful local toast.
With the help of his father-in-law, Kunsha's drug ** is getting bigger and bigger.
However, the ambitious Kunsha is not willing to live under the people for a long time.
In order to develop his own power, he actually took his own people to kill his father-in-law in the dark.
In the end, he successfully annexed the 6,000 men under his father-in-law.
Under the mediation and request of the United Nations, the Kuomintang in Taiwan Province withdrew the Kuomintang remaining in Burma to join the army in batches.
After the departure of the Kuomintang troops, Khun Sha led his own army to divide one side in Burma.
Relying on the income from drugs, he continued to expand his power, and soon had six divisions of elite troops.
Myanmar** sent troops to suppress it many times, but was defeated by Khun Sha.
In the repeated suppression, Kunsha's territory has not only become smaller, but has become bigger and bigger.
In 1967, a conflict broke out between Kunsha and the famous drug lord Luo Xinghan.
In the end, Luo Xinghan was defeated by Kun Sha and was beaten to the point of losing his armor.
After defeating his biggest competitor, Kun Sha successfully ascended to the throne and became the "drug king" of the Golden Triangle.
However, not long after reaching the top, Kunsha ushered in a life-and-death postgraduate examination.
In 1969, the Burmese Army** tricked Khun Sa into going to a meeting on the grounds of cooperation.
As a result, as soon as Khun Sa arrived at the scene, he was disarmed and placed under house arrest by the Burmese army.
Soon, Kun Sha was sentenced to death.
However, what is puzzling is that after the verdict was announced, Myanmar** did not dare to carry out the verdict.
All this is because Kunsha has a good "military advisor" named Zhang Suquan.
Zhang Suquan's experience is also legendary.
He was a native of Liaoning, China, and studied at the prestigious Whampoa Military Academy as a young man.
After graduating from the military academy, he entered the Kuomintang army and later served as an officer in the special operations corps.
After the Liberation War, Zhang Suquan also followed the Kuomintang army to retreat to Taiwan.
In 1959, he followed his superiors to Burma to reinforce the remnants of the Kuomintang who remained in Burma.
Soon after, due to Burma** and pressure from the United States, the Kuomintang ** had to choose to withdraw its troops from Burma.
However, at this time, Zhang Suquan chose to volunteer to stay in the local area.
He led the so-called "110 Special Forces" as mercenaries to survive on the ground.
During a battle rout, he became acquainted with Kunsha.
The resourceful Zhang Suquan quickly caught Kun Sha's attention.
He was soon recruited by Kun Sha and became the chief of staff under Kun Sha.
After learning that Kun Sha was captured by Myanmar, Zhang Suquan quickly launched a rescue plan.
He kidnapped two Soviet doctors who had come to aid in Burma.
It was hoped that through pressure from the Soviet Union, Burma would be forced to release Khun Sha.
Zhang Suquan deliberately leaked the kidnapping of the doctor to **.
As soon as it was reported, the kidnapping case quickly spread around the world.
In order not to affect diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, Myanmar** could only agree to release Khun Sha.
In this way, Kunsha successfully got out of this crisis.
Immediately after returning to the army, he threw himself back into drug trafficking.
At the same time, he also established his own military base on the border between Myanmar and Thailand, and fought against Myanmar.
Under his management, the Golden Triangle has become one of the world's most important core sources.
However, being a drug lord alone will not satisfy Kun Sha's ambitions.
In the 80s, he constantly exploited the national sentiment of the Shan people to carry out armed activities.
In 1989, he reorganized the unit into the "Montai Army", which had a regular army of 250,000 people, the militia reached 20,000 people.
Such a large-scale armed force has made Khun Sa the most powerful armed force in the Golden Triangle region.
Even Myanmar ** is quite fearful, and in the 90s, Khun Sa's career also reached its peak.
He not only demanded that the people in his jurisdiction switch to opium.
A large number of checkpoints were also set up, and a large amount of protection tax was levied on the merchants.
Under his rule, the people of northern Myanmar lived in dire straits.
In 1993, Khun Sa declared the independence of Shan State, and he himself served as the so-called "**".
However, the extremes of things must be reversed, and the invincible Kunsha was soon caught again.
This time, his luck wasn't so good.
In 1979, the Soviet Union launched a large-scale military operation in Afghanistan.
In order to raise funds for the resistance, resistance groups in Afghanistan also began to grow opium poppy in large numbers.
Drugs in Afghanistan are starting to flourish.
And this also led to a sharp decline in the revenue of Kunsha Group.
Khun Sha had to reduce the size of his army to reduce expenses.
However, at this moment, the group also broke out**.
A coup d'état led to him having to resign from his position.
In 1995, a serious incident occurred in Kunsha's troops.
The number of troops under his direct control was almost halved.
Taking advantage of your illness and asking for your life, Myanmar** saw the weakness of Khun Sha.
Directly mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress Kunsha.
Under the circumstance of heavy troops pressing the city, Kun Sha had no choice but to surrender.
He flew to Yangon and has been under house arrest ever since.
In 2007, at the age of 74, Khun Sa died in Yangon, ending his controversial life.
**10,000 Fans Incentive Plan After the surrender of Khun Sa, there was no real peace in Myanmar.
Warlords of all stripes have sprung up, bringing great disasters to the local population.
To this day, northern Myanmar is still plagued by war.
This also makes us have to sigh how lucky we are to live in a peaceful China.
