Chapter 14 Tracing the Origin of China's Weakness (Excerpt) (May 28, 1901)

Section 3 Weakness stems from politicians But are the authorities innocent?Said: Evil, what are you talking about!What are you talking about!Even those who become today's officials are the same as today's citizens; those who make today's citizens are also the same as the political tactics of the past.For thousands of years, the thieves have regarded the country as the private property of their surname, so all operations and measures are designed to protect their own private property. This is the root of China's political tactics for thousands of years!What will be done to protect private property?Those who own private property are those who seize the public property and take it as their own by the arms of the people. Therefore, the most affected ones will be returned as soon as the original owner rises.Who is the original owner?That is to say, nationals!How can the nation then recover its public property?There must be energy before you can do it, you must have wisdom before you can do it, you must have strength before you can do it, you must have groupness before you can do it, and you must have movement before you can do it.But if you can dampen its spirit, suffocate its wisdom, weaken its strength, disperse its group, and restrain its movement, the original owner will never be able to recover, and the private property will be like a rock with no problems.The thieves of the people know it well, so all of their governance techniques are based on the five things. Thousands of threads are not in disorder, and they are constantly changing and changing without departing from their roots. It is more dense, more and more things, then the technique will become better.The old husband's political skills today, I don't know that millions of tyrannical heroes, treacherous, quick-witted and cunning civilian thieves, calculated the layout of the paintings, and weighed the profit and loss, and now they are the masters.I have tried to read the political history of the twenty-four dynasties, traverse the current political circles, and find out the essentials in the midst of joining the army.There are three achievements in its governance: it is said to fool its people, soften its people, and loosen its people.And so those who can achieve this result have four techniques: the technique of taming, the technique of enslavement, the technique of service, and the technique of supervision.What is the so-called art of taming?Born human beings are made to have the nature of seeking wisdom, independence, and gregariousness, which is the most disadvantageous thing for thieves. Therefore, we must first make people lose their nature, and then they can be within my scope.Don't you see your husband, the gardener?With the vigor of pines and cypresses, how can one be able to bend and bend them, making them look like a plate, like a ladder, like a cage, like a standing man, like a lying beast, like a coiled snake?From the time when the sprouts and stems reach their height, they will kill the thieves.Don't you see the husband and the beast?With the gallantry of a horse, the cunning of a monkey, the brutality of a lion, and the bluntness of an elephant, how can one be able to stagger and dance in a court, respond to strings and joints, and strike like the law?Since the day of breastfeeding and childishness, it has been tamed.The reason why politicians in the past dynasties tame their people is that they are similar.The great French Confucian Montesquieu said: "The purpose of education in any country with a half-open autocratic monarchy is to make people obey." Those who make people docile and submissive; those who are happy, are those who reconcile the turbulence and injustice of the people and make them submit to the thieves of the people." Although I dare not say that I blame ritual and music for this, I dare not say so, but To put it simply, China has been teaching the people for thousands of years, so the purpose of teaching the people is nothing more than this, so it is absolutely categorical.Qin Huang's burning of books and burying Confucianism was based on the foolish head of Guizhou, and it was also a clumsy plan to help the emperor. He used the burning pit as the burning pit, so why not use the non-burning pit as the burning pit.Song Yizu opened a library to compile books, and said: "The heroes of the world are in my nest." But he said: "This kind of knowledge is just to restrain the Han people." The methods and methods are far superior to those of the Emperor Qin, and the techniques have been practiced for a long time and become more sophisticated every day.Try to see what is the way of education today?There is nothing but stereotyped writing!Stereotypes still think that it is not enough, and they set up a ban on cutting and stabbing, and committing crimes together, so that people can get into it and wear away their spirit for decades, but they still can't do their tricks, let alone other things.I still think it is not enough, so I forbid him to use the events and words of later generations, so as to drive away these millions of people who have nothing to read, so that they don't read a word, and they don't know the past of China, and they talk about foreign countries?And daily entertainment and puzzled, more ridiculed on the management of the world?I still feel that it is not enough, so I help them to learn how to be a singer by using test posts, and let them learn to be a calligraphy by emphasizing regular script.I still feel that it is not enough, and I am afraid that smart and handsome people will not use their brains to the fullest with stereotyped essays, test posts, and regular script, and they will overflow in other ways. Covering and enveloping it, so that the upper and lower directions are all included in my net.I still think it is not enough, and there are scholars who pretend to be Taoists, and they embellish one or two words in the biography of the scriptures, saying, "Only to make blessings, but to make prestige"; It is a crime to speak high; it is said that "to live in the world, to be in the world, it is good to be good"; it is said to be "clear and wise, to protect oneself".There are thousands of words in the Biblical Biography, which can enlighten the wisdom of the people, grow the hearts of the people, and strengthen the strength of the people, they will be erased and not quoted, but those who pick up one or two words are enough for their own selfish purposes, thus fueling the flames, intensifying the situation, and spreading fallacies. become giri.Therefore, those who worry about the country when they are angry are dismissed as troublesome, and scholars who gather in groups are regarded as cronies, those who do not know anything are regarded as sincere, and those who have no heart are regarded as kind.This kind of insight has penetrated into the hearts of the people, making the whole country blind and blind, and making everyone look like a concubine.Slavery, ignorance, selfishness, hypocrisy, cowardice, and inaction are the most shameful things in the world.Today, it is not only shameless, but if there is someone who is not slavish, unwilling to be ignorant, not selfish, not very hypocritical, restless and cowardly, not happy and inactive, the whole country will regard him as a monster, and regard him as a big treason.Right and wrong change positions, hatred is still abnormal, people lose their nature, even if it is.When I look at this, I marvel at the reason why those thousands of years of people and thieves have tamed our people, their intentions are extremely painstaking, their methods are extremely secretive, and their methods are extremely spicy.Just like women who bind their feet, they have been bound since childhood for decades, and even if they grow up, even if they are released, they can't do well, because the nature of covering the feet has been lost.Zeng Guofan said: "Today's China has become a world that is neither painful nor itchy." Alas, who will do it?Now the people of our country are at this extreme!

What is the so-called technique of 餂?Montesquieu said: "A country with an autocratic regime can last for a long time without breaking. There is a trick. It has a kind of hypocrisy, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of officials, that is, the idea of ​​self-glory with honors. That's right. In that autocratic country, all the ministers and bureaucrats have this in mind, so they all compete for their positions, and dare not slack off. They brag about each other's rank and salary. The Emperor of Heaven is like a ghost." This saying is also true for thousands of years in China, so it has been used by the people.The reason why he tames our people is that he can make them behave like concubines and animals, how difficult is it for a husband to treat concubines and animals?Today's livestock dogs see their masters, shake their heads and tails, and those who walk forward and backward are begging for food; today's husbands who visit prostitutes meet their favorites, paint them with paint and make their eyes picky, and they are head-wrapping.Therefore, if you hold a slender piece of meat to feed a dog, you can let it jump, throw, or spin, and you will never be unhappy; if you wrap a thousand pieces of gold around your waist to go to a prostitute, you will let it flatter you, how to send love, and you will never be unhappy.If the people's thieves rape our people, it is also true.Duke Huan of Qi loved purple, and the whole country obeyed purple; Emperor Gaozu of Han hated Confucianism, and none of his officials dared to be crowned Confucianism.Cao Cao ordered in the middle of the country, saying: "If anyone travels with me, I will be rich and noble." The people who occupy important positions and hold great power can use their small tricks to make people in the whole country go downhill. Falling down, like crazy or drunk, scrambling to be the first, running around and catching up.And the person who tends to it most skillfully and obtains it most quickly must be the person with the highest intelligence and the strongest ability in a country.Now that the most intelligent and capable people are all in their pockets, what's more about the wretched and mediocre ones?It's just a straight whip and a circle hat.The ant lies in the anthill, and when we look at it, we feel that it is the most humble, the most humble and pitiful; among them, there is a big one, Wang Yan, and there is a small one, Hou Yan, and the ants camp one by one to look up to this immeasurable one. Glory, don't let it go, don't let it go.Vietnam has been reduced to law, and all political power, land rights, and financial rights are in the hands of others. The people of this country have nothing to learn and hear about it. From our perspective, we feel that the world is in a state of chaos, and there is no interest in being a living person; I don't know that Vietnam still has its so-called official position and its so-called academic status. Every three years, it opens a course to select scholars. The glory of the champion is no different from that of the past. Ruo Ruoyu Yan.During the period of Shunzhi and Kangxi, the world thought about the Ming and felt restless. The emperor, the sage Zuren, opened a department of erudition and Hongci, and then set up a museum of Ming history to collect relics and conquer them into the capital. The world's posts are all the same.Therefore, those who sacrifice to the people get the right way.This technique is also used in all autocratic countries on the earth before, and the most skillful and effective one is China!

What is the so-called art of slavery?The thieves of the people have taken the country as their own private property, but the country is so big that it is not enough for a family to supervise and govern it, so they have to ask me for help, so the officials stand up.In civilized countries, officials are set up to manage public property for the people, so the officials are all assigned to the people; in autocratic countries, officials are set up to protect the private property of the same surname, so the officials are all assigned to the monarch.This source is unique, but the final flow is very different, and they all arise from this.Therefore, officials in an autocratic country do not need to ask whether they are talented or not, but only those who are quiet, cautious, willing, and able to abide by old rules and obey orders are the most important.The appointment of officials in China also narrows the way to advance, so that the virtuous and talented have no self-expression; they also hang the most honorable and noble character to reward the husband's useless knowledge, so that the whole country has no virtuous and foolish people. I have to bow my head to this way to wear down my ingenuity.Wear it down a little bit, and then use it, and use it without using your talent, and you will have to bow down.Why?Unless it has been tempered for decades, it is feared that its heroic spirit will not be exhausted, and the nature of obedience will not be fully strengthened; fear that one talent will succeed, but countless talents will admire and learn from them; and also.Therefore, in the past, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor Gaozong of this dynasty had wonderful and inconceivable ways of manipulating his officials, just like playing with a baby in the palm of his hand, or playing with monkeys and dogs in the theater, so that those who established his dynasty would no longer know what shame is. What is morality, what is right, what is responsibility, but crouching under a king holding his breath.Since the husband has nothing to do with state affairs and civil affairs, he will be regarded as an official by a hero, and he will be on par with a puppet as an official; and it is not as easy to control a hero as to control a puppet.The people and thieves of the past dynasties are familiar with it, so the use of officials in China is like the use of machines by Westerners. There are rigid positions and definite actions. Quite so.The number of officials in the whole country is no less than tens of millions, and it is easy to control them with one person.And the reason why they can do this is that they can get their skills from the service.Machines are brainless, boneless, bloodless, and lifeless dead things. All the officials in the country today have become brainless, boneless, bloodless, and lifeless dead things. Well, how can Gu stand in today's world where civilizations are advancing?

What is the so-called art of supervision?Since the husband has the skills of taming, feeding, and enslaving, the whole country's subjects will fall into it, ten to nine.Although, a country is so big, there is no one or two very heroic people who are not willing to be slaves, concubines, or machines?And there are no ones who don't succeed in safety, jumping through their flaws, and imitating Chen She's who stopped farming on the banks of the Long River, and imitated Shi Le's leaning on Xiaodongmen?It is impossible not to supervise.That's why there are officials, soldiers, and laws, all of which are tools for the supervision of the people; the rent and taxes collected from the people are used to fill the funds for the supervision of the people; And make them self-supervise their concubines.Therefore, the soldiers of other countries are attacked by the enemy, and the soldiers of China are attacked by the people.In the past, a certain Westerner said to a certain prince: "Your country's soldiers are too inferior to gallop on the battlefield with the great powers, so we should rectify them?" A certain prince said: "My country's soldiers are only used to guard against family thieves."These three characters are the ones who have revealed the lungs and livers of thousands of years of civilian thieves!Since the husband regards the citizens as family thieves, the way to prevent them must be secret.Pseudo-respecting the six arts, rejecting hundreds of schools, so the minds of the prison people, so that they dare not study axioms; strictly prohibiting the establishment of meetings, and abstaining from giving lectures, 29 Liang Qichao's anthology, so the collection of prison people's voices can not be connected; hate newspapers, and promote literary prisons Therefore, the eyes and ears of the prisoner are prevented from smelling and seeing foreign objects; sinners are conceived, and neighbors are kept together, so the actions of the prisoner are prevented from being independent and fearless.Therefore, what is most respected and valued by civilized countries today, such as freedom of thought, freedom of religious belief, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of writing, and freedom of action, are all strictly supervised and tightly bound.After being imprisoned for a long time, there is nothing for the sage to be angry, and there is no room for the cunning to jump the beam, so he can only lose heart, drift with the crowd, and still join the team of slaves, concubines, and machines, or quickly fight for it. For profit, wagging the tail and begging for orders, using dogs to get rich and honor, it's just the elders.The old husband and the people are not born with this evil quality, nor are everyone obstinate and shameless.If there are those who cannot be tamed, then they will be punished;This is the reason why the Chinese people are so corrupt today.

From this point of view, we can see the great source of China's weakness.Those who achieve it are the people, and those who conceive it are still in the government.The thieves of the people have vomited all their efforts and spread their nets all over. Don't you think that there is no strategy left, and there is no poison left in the world?Gu Wu also heard Montesquieu's words: "The purpose of the autocratic regime is to make the people fear. Although it is called "Ji He Wan Min", it actually loses its vitality and will lose all of its foundations. In the past, there was the savagery of Luyi Sandu. When they saw the fruits attached to the tree, they could not get them by climbing and breaking them. They just chopped the tree with an ax and picked it up. Autocratic politics is almost the same. Said, but if there are still thirty years in the country, I can still live in stealth, and if I am dead, even if there is chaos, why should I worry about it? It is no different from that savage tree. Therefore, the so-called peacemaker in an autocratic country often contains the seeds of disturbance." Woohoo!Mencius's words are just for China.The people and thieves of the past generations have used this technique to tame, suppress, serve, and supervise the people for thousands of years!The technique is so exquisite and complete that it is suitable to protect private property, descendants, and emperors forever.Gu He said that Liu Xingxiang servant, one fights against the other, for thousands of years, but it is reckless to have different surnames?Mencius said: "The world has been born for a long time, and it is ruled and disordered." From my point of view, the so-called rule of thousands of years is really ruled?Taking advantage of the extreme annoyance of people's hearts, the special couple killed more than half of them, the household registration was reduced, it was easier to find food, and it was just easy to get along with each other!In fact, the seeds of disturbance contained in it are numerous and dramatic.A husband's country is also formed by accumulating people, and some husbands can form a country by using the people as slaves, concubines, machines, and thieves.The reason why China is weak is that it originated thousands of years ago, and it has accumulated over time, getting deeper and deeper, and it is still extremely weak.In view of its extremely humble appearance, why is it that it has begun to show up today?In the past, it was a country ruled by a unified dictatorship. Although there were many internal troubles, external troubles were not dramatic, so the seeds of disturbance were often found and cracked.This is not the case today, the competition among the races of the whole earth is becoming more and more intense.The feet of ten thousand horses and the blades of ten thousand sharp edges are directed towards me. Although there are countless intelligent and intelligent people to deal with it, I am afraid that it will not be appropriate. They are a group of brainless, boneless, bloodless, and lifeless people. How will it be possible to sit still and sleep soundly in this world for a long time?The thieves of the people in the past did not expect that they would have the current situation at the beginning, so they made the unique secrets of taming the people, enslaving the people, serving the people, and supervising the people. Things are also shackled, constricted, or closed in a dark room one by one.If the husband is like this, then I firmly believe that he is incapable of being a thief. Why is it like a waste of housework?Abandoned Chi can still be saved. Once there are foreign robbers, they will coax the door to be destroyed, enter the hall, include the goods, and move the heavy equipment. At that time, those who were brothers and sisters wanted to save him, but they couldn't do it because of the shackles. If the dark room is still closed and there is nothing to open it, you can only stare dumbfounded and listen to the thieves entering the room, or rush away with a long roar.The situation in China today is similar to that.Does he know that he has the responsibility of being a herdsman?Do the people of our country know it?
