He controlled the drug trade throughout the Golden Triangle
He fed his army with poison
He once held the strength of 6 divisions to dominate the Golden Triangle
The Republic of Shan State was publicly established as president
He betrayed his wife
Hand blade his own father-in-law
By scheming at the age of 16, you can destroy the enemy
He is the Burmese tyrant, Kun Sha
Kunsha
February 17, 1933
Kun Sha was born in Dazhai, Mount Lemo, Shan State, Myanmar
A family of Han and Shan ethnic groups
His father, Zhang Bingyao, was Han Chinese
It is also the toast of the local Lemo tribe
In accordance with hereditary traditions
Kunsha will also inherit the position of Toast
But the good times were short-lived
At the age of four or five, both parents died
Raised by an uncle
He inherited the toast position
In that Shan state where tribal vendettas are prevalent
Not only did it not bring him good luck
Instead, he was repeatedly hunted down and killed by other tribes
To avoid being hunted
He fled his hometown
It is also in these painful childhood experiences
Let Kun Sha understand some of the truths that applied to that era
Strength is not enough to be recalcitrant and submissive
Kill them all in a hurry
Mid-20th century
The whole of Asia is a mess of porridge
Late period of the War of Liberation
The Kuomintang troops were beaten to the head
It was also at this time that Li Mi came to Shan State with the remnants of the two armies
Although it is not inferior to the People's Liberation Army
But against the Burmese government army, it was full of martial virtue
Li Mi even spoke
As long as he wants Burma can always be surnamed Lee
It was also during this period
Kun Sha relied on the advantage of Mixed Chinese and Burmese
Mixed in with the remnants of the Kuomintang
Cleverness honed from childhood
It also made Kunsha quite popular among the generals in the army
Some good errands naturally fell on his head
It's about helping the army deal with poison
Kunsha from the countryside
Among the remnants of the Kuomintang, he learned a lot of military knowledge and techniques
This also laid a solid foundation for his future rise
National troops fleeing to Burma
Later, he himself established a professional drug trafficking armed force
At that time, Kun Sha was still unknown
The opportunity to make a name for myself came quickly
Sha Shuai was 16 years old that year
On the way to a poison escort
He personally led the team
Dozens of men followed
Looted by local counterparts
The disparity in numbers between the two sides is extremely large
Kun Sha immediately decided
I can't help but ask for all the poisons to be given to the other party
He also threatened to integrate his forces into the armed ranks of the other side
Kun Sha's sincerity touched the other party
So Kun Sha hit the iron while it was hot
Offered to set up a banquet to entertain the entire family of the other leader
It is a good thing to complete the two of them
The unguarded leader took the whole family to the feast
Pushing cups for cups at the banquet is not lively
Just when the atmosphere is at its strongest
The smiling tiger Kunsha suddenly became difficult
Do your best
Send each other's whole family to see God
The title of "Iron-Blooded Butcher"
It was worn on the head of the 16-year-old
Dozens of people in size
Far from satisfying Kun Sha's ambitions
In that bizarre Shan State
I want to start from scratch
It's like a fool's dream
He knows to make his dreams come true
There must be a rapid and fulfilling accumulation of primitives
At a time when Kunsha is confused about the future
Opportunities have come quietly
On a trip to trade in the Golden Triangle
He became acquainted with the local tribal chiefs
Get to know the chief's daughter even more
So the dry firewood and the fire came to fruition
Kunsha, which has completed the accumulation of original capital
In one's element
The tribe swelled rapidly under his advice
But this also caused
The attention of Li Guohui, known locally as "General Li Xiao" in the Golden Triangle
The founder of the Golden Triangle
Rely on years of military smell
I noticed a different taste
Although Kun Sha's power at that time could not pose any threat to Li Guohui
But who cares about crushing an ant to death?
Kun Sha saw himself in a dead end
There were only two roads
Fight to the end
The result is inevitable total annihilation
Two surrenders
But in that brave and fierce Golden Triangle, there does not seem to be a surrender
Kunsha's father-in-law and a group of tribal elders
Without hesitation, he rejected the offer
Winter is approaching and no one is immune
But the story has to go on
In a dead end
He went out of the third way
Shoot your father-in-law
Cut off the head
Kneel down to be a dog
Cold-blooded, courageous, and patient
Vividly embodied
In this way, Li Guohui let Kun Sha go
And let him completely take over his father-in-law's power
Lee Kwok-fai
Kun Sha took the name of "General Xiao Li"
bully people by flaunting one's powerful connections
Power is rapidly expanding
The obedient absorb
The rebels killed the whole family
Soon a new team appeared in the Golden Triangle: the Monte-Thai Army
Unlike most drug lords
Kun Sha has neither a face full of horizontal flesh
Nor was it full of haze
Those who came into contact with him praised him for his elegance, ease of mind, and courtesy
Kun Sha is a person who knows the way to survive
Fly head small profits are never placed seriously
It's as if I've learned Chinese
Build walls high, accumulate grain, and slowly become king
In 1954
Most of the remnants of the Kuomintang withdrew from Burma
Only a few remnants of power remain
It was also at this time
The Myanmar government was contacted
Kunsha, which has become quite climatic
Hope for the Montay Army of Kunsha
It can help the Burmese government eliminate the remnants of the Kuomintang in the Golden Triangle region
Kun Sha agreed without hesitation
He seized the opportunity
In the name of helping government forces purge the Golden Triangle
Massive amounts of weapons and equipment were obtained from the Government of Myanmar
But Kun Sha never intended to make enemies of the Kuomintang
He knew he was not an opponent of the Kuomintang
Use weapons and equipment from white prostitutes
Step by step, the drug trafficking forces in the Golden Triangle were merged
Until the last bone left to gnaw on
Luo Xinghan
Luo Xinghan was once called "heroin godfather" by the US government.
Nature is not vegetarian
At this time, Luo Xinghan and the remnants of the Kuomintang were in their honeymoon period
Kunsha did not dare to annex by force
The Golden Triangle has stood on two feet for more than ten years
Until 1967
Kun Sha was under the advice of the military master Zhang Suquan
Pass a beautiful ambush battle
Took 15 tons of luo xinghan poison
After this battle
Luo Xinghan was seriously injured
Gradually withdraw from the stage of history
Kunsha's power, on the other hand, was out of control
His boldness is fierce
Coupled with Zhang Suquan's ability to make good decisions
Kunsha's armed forces gradually took control of the entire Golden Triangle
His family has a monopoly on the Golden Triangle
70% of the production and sales business
And the famous poison trademark "Double Lions On Earth"
It also came at this time
Kun Sha played poison to the extreme
Recently
The crisis is creeping in again
Double Lion Earth Marker
In 1969
The Myanmar military urgently invited Khun Shah to the meeting
From the beginning is to discuss the national plan
Sure enough, no man can resist the temptation of power
Kun Sha handed over all the affairs of the Montay Army to Zhang Suquan
Go alone
Didn't expect to arrive at the destination
He was put in jail
That's the end of Kunsha's story?
How can it be
We have the old saying "break and then stand"
The legend of KunSha has only just begun
After the military captured Kunsha
It is believed that the Montai army is leaderless
Troops were quickly dispatched to surround all the Montai troops
The unsuspecting Monte-Thai army suffered numerous casualties
The losses were heavy
Zhang Suquan fled with only a few dozen soldiers into the deep mountains and old forests
At this time, the Burmese government was in hot contact with the Soviet Union
The Soviet Union supported Burma in all its aspects
Zhang Suquan saw this opportunity
Songkran in 1973
Personally led the team to kidnap two Soviet doctors
It was intended to threaten the Burmese government with the Soviets
Unexpectedly, the Burmese military did not comply
On the contrary, it has intensified its encirclement and suppression
Zhang Suquan did not sit still
Declared the establishment of the Shan State United Revolutionary Army
Fight for the freedom and independence of the people of Shan State
These words are in line with the hearts and minds of the people of Shan State
Time
The slave is like a stream
The United States also openly supported the United Revolutionary Army of Shan State
On the one hand, international public opinion
On the one hand, there was pressure from the Soviet side
The Burmese government was devastated
Finally, under the mediation of the Thai General Staff Officer Jang Sa
Zhang Suquan released two Soviet doctors
The Burmese military also released Khun Shah
"Military division" Zhang Suquan
The Return of the King
Although the Burmese government's release of Khun Shah is conditional
That is, he cannot leave the Yangon region of Myanmar
But how can this be difficult to live Zhang Suquan
Under the operation of Zhang Suquan
KunSha smoothly returned to the Golden Triangle
Kunsha back to the old nest
The base was relocated to the more secluded valley at the junction of the three kingdoms of Burma, Thailand and Laos
and named it "Stacked Stars"
During this period, a team of tens of thousands of people was pulled up
In 1978
Vietnam invades Cambodia
Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Laos are all involved in disputes
At this time, the Golden Triangle was completely outlawed
Kunsha, who has tens of thousands of troops in his hands
Completely unleash yourself in the Golden Triangle
This is during this period
Kunsha once occupied 150,000 square kilometers of land
All opium-producing areas in the territory were controlled
Heroin production
More than the rest of the world combined
Someone else sells drugs and three or five people carry a few guns
Kunsha drug trafficking is often armed escort of thousands of people
Poison trade is measured on a ton basis
Look at the history of the Golden Triangle
Kun Sha can be said to be a person who has never come before or after the ancients
In 1985
The business of doing only poison has not satisfied Kunsha's ambitions
Kun Sha united several remnants of the Kuomintang forces
The Shan State Coalition was formed
He became commander of the Coalition forces
Further develop military forces
Until 1993
Kun Sha's armed forces reached more than 30,000 men
The title of a Shan commander seems too small
Kun Sha was ready to play a big one at this time
Founding
Thus the Shan Republic was established
KunSha became president
Shan State
Prosperity is bound to decline
Shortly after Kunsha declared the founding of the country
There has been a split within Shan State
In 1995
The Shan state launched internally
"Purity Shan Movement"
Nearly a third of Shan soldiers withdrew from the Khun Sha clique
The Myanmar Government also seized this opportunity
Gather forces
Set up a posture on the Thai-Burmese border
Prepare to attack the Kunsha forces
The two sides were deadlocked for months
The Burmese military has offered amnesty for Khun Shah
January 5, 1996
Kunsha chose to accept the offer
The military sent a special plane
Put Kun Sha and his four wives
Picked up in a mansion in Yangon
Although Kunsha lost control of Shan State
But the impact is still there
In the eyes of many Shan people, Kun Sha is their king
It is also because of its strong influence
Kun Sha was able to die well
Even later the U.S. side proposed
Request for extradition of Khun Shah to the United States
All were rejected by the Burmese side
October 27, 2007
Kun Sha died at home with Yangon
He was 74 years old
A generation of poison kings came to an end
After Kun Sha's death
All five of his children emigrated to Thailand
And the Golden Triangle was not calm because of Kun Sha's departure
Kun Sha has committed many evils and killed countless people in his life
The poison that flowed out of his hands killed hundreds of millions of people
Throughout Kun Sha's life
He's not so much a big drug lord
Rather, he is more like an ambitious politician
Kunsha
