Chapter 18 On the New Law of Extermination of the Country (Excerpt) (July 16-August 24, 1901)

Today's world is also a new world: new thinking, new learning, new political system, new laws, new technology, new armaments, new society, new people, and all the tangible and intangible things in the world are unprecedented. And don't set up a new world.Beautiful new law!Shengzai new law!Everyone knows it, everyone admires it, and there is no waiting for my theory.What I can't stop talking about is that there is a new law to destroy the country. Those who destroy the country are also the common law of heaven.In this world, mortals must strive for self-survival. There are advantages and disadvantages in the struggle for self-survival, and there are winners and losers when there are advantages and disadvantages.Those who are inferior and defeated will have their rights swallowed up by those who are superior and victorious, which is the principle of destroying the country.Since the beginning of human beings in the world, they have followed this natural law, fought and devoured each other, and transformed each other from generation to generation. Until now, there are only a few hundred people who dominate the whole earth.There is a new way to destroy the country, and it is also dictated by the common law of evolution.In the past, the country was regarded as a country of one person and one family, so those who destroy the country must capture their kings, keep their palaces, destroy their ancestral temples, and move their important weapons.Therefore, when one family is destroyed, the country is destroyed.This is not the case today. If you know the country well, the public property of the people of the country is also very shallow. If you really want to destroy the country, you must destroy the whole country, and you will not make it difficult for the family.Uneasy but, often borrowing the power of one person and one family to help them destroy the country.Therefore, in the past, the country of people who was destroyed was destroyed by those who attacked it with a slap;In the past, the destruction of human countries was also sudden, and today's destruction of human countries is also gradual.The country of destroying people in the past is also obvious, and the country of destroying people is also weak today.In the past, when the country was destroyed, people knew about it and prepared for it; now, when the country is destroyed, people are attracted to it.Those who destroyed the country in the past were like tigers and wolves, but now those who destroy the country are like foxes.Either through trade, or through principal debt, or through military training, or through setting up consultants, or through channels, or by inciting parties to fight, or by calming internal turmoil, or by Help the revolution to destroy it.Its essence has been exhausted, the opportunity has been ripe, or it may change the name of the country in one fell swoop, and change the color of the map; it is not exhausted and unripe, although the name is still the same, it may take hundreds of years.Alas, the Western powers have imposed this new law on the weak and small countries, I don't know how much it is!If I don't believe it, please give an example:

One, conquer Egypt. ... (deleted by editor) Second, conquer Poland. ... (deleted by editor) Third, conquer India. ... (deleted by editor) Fourth, conquer Boya. ... (deleted by editor) Fifth, the Philippines. ... (deleted by editor) The above list is a brief example of a few countries, but the number is not exhaustive, and the language is unknown.Although, in the past two hundred years, the means of the so-called superior race to destroy the country have been seen a little bit.The vast five continents, the country that was destroyed, no matter how big or small, there are hundreds of dozens of people, and most of them fall into this trap, and those who go and never return.From this point of view, how can you see the so-called civilized people?See the so-called law-abiding ones?See the so-called one who loves his neighbor as himself and regards his enemy as his friend?Xi Zhe said: "When two equals meet, there is no power, and reason is power; when two unequals meet, there is no reason, and power is reason." When European countries meet with European countries, they always use reason as power; When it encounters countries outside Europe, it always uses power as its reason.This is inevitable in the evolution of the sky, and it is natural in the competition of things, why is it so strange!Husband why hate Yan!The most embarrassing thing is to entrust the victorious people to a country that is in danger of defeat. When this is about to perish, what will it feel like?How can it be said?

There is no neutral person in the affairs of the world. If it is not destroyed, it will prosper, and if it is not prosperous, it will be destroyed.It is my 400 million people who do not talk about the strategy of rejuvenating the country, but secretly hope that it will not perish. This is the first root cause of perdition.How can people love me like I love myself? Is there anyone in the world who sacrifices the interests of his own country and seeks the interests of other countries?Forty million of us, when we hear that the great powers are talking about partitioning China, we feel worried; when we hear that the big powers are talking about preserving China, we feel relieved;This is the second root of death.I don't want to scare the world with dangerous words and empty talk, but I will take one or two recent events and compare them with the cases of various subjugated countries.

The reason why Egypt died was not due to national debts?Twenty years ago, China did not care about national debts; since Guangxu four years ago, it began to borrow 2.5 million yuan from Germany with a weekly interest of 5.5%; in five years, it borrowed 16.15 million yuan from HSBC Bank , the weekly interest rate is 7%; for eighteen years, 30 million yuan is borrowed from HSBC; for 19 years, 10 million yuan is borrowed from Standard Chartered; Russia and France 158.2 million yuan, with a weekly interest of 4%; in 22 years, 160 million yuan in Britain and Germany, with a weekly interest of 5%; in 24 years, HSBC, Dehua , Zhengjinsan Bank 160,000,000 yuan, with a weekly interest rate of 4.5%.Over the past 20 years (except for the fact that the reparations were not set in the group bandit peace negotiation), the amount of foreign debts has reached more than 546 million yuan.In total, 30 million yuan of interest must be paid each year.It is well known that the country's money is exhausted today.Before the Jiawu period, all the borrowings, the total principal and interest, could only be repaid three million a year, so only the first German debt had repaid 750,000 principal, and he was unknown.Since the Yiwei peace talks, that is, all the old and new debts have not been repaid, and the interest has to be paid 30 million a year.The He Qi family in Nanhai once listed the number of delays in repaying debts as follows:

The debt is 50 million yuan, with a weekly interest of 6%, and if it is not repaid for a year, the interest will be 30 million yuan, which is 530 million yuan in total.If you take 530 million yuan and don't pay it back for another year, the interest will be 31.8 million yuan, and the total principal and interest will be 561.8 million yuan. If you take 568.8 million yuan and don't pay it back for eight years, the interest will be 333 million yuan, and the total principal and interest will be 895 million yuan. . Then take 895 million yuan, if you don’t pay it back after ten years, the interest will be 708 million yuan, and the total principal and interest will be 160 million and 3 million yuan. .

It is strange for another 16 million yuan and 3 million yuan, and the accumulation of ten years does not pay it back, it is strange for the interest rate of 1268 million yuan. million dollars However, it has only been thirty years, and the interest rate is five times higher than that of the original, and it is six times higher than today.From the fifth year of Guangxu to the eighteenth year of Guangxu, if the husband was unable to repay the principal of more than 16 million yuan, it is clear that he could not repay the principal of 50 million yuan in the 30 years after the Middle East War.Thirty years ago today, if it was not possible to repay the interest of 30 million yuan, it is clear that it will not be able to repay the interest of 230 million yuan thirty years later.Adding this new debt of 450 million taels, and adding one-third of the old debt, it is strange, if calculated according to the example in the previous table, after thirty years, the total principal and interest of China's new and old debts should be 600 to 700 million. above.Even if there are no external troubles and internal worries, what will happen to China thirty years from now?Why do you have to wait for thirty years? After a few years, the principal and interest will already be worth hundreds of millions. I don't know how the stubborn government should treat it?

My husband makes foreign countries borrow money from me, and it is not because there are big desires behind, so why bother to fight for this power, like an ant attached to a mutton, like a dog grabbing a bone, and each other will not give up an inch?May I ask why Russia acted as a mediator for my loan in the 21st year of Guangxu?Let me ask, why did Russia and Britain have such a big conflict over the 24 years of borrowing, almost to the point of fighting each other?Husband, the Chinese government has financial difficulties, and is unable to afford this heavy debt. Does anyone in the world know this?Now that we know it, we are eager to fight again. I hope those who worry about the country will think about it.Today, tariffs and taxes are used to offset, or it has not reached the budget of Qi's family. China is a huge monster, and the essence is not exhausted. Westerners are not willing to treat each other as they did in Egypt.And the power of the creditors who want it is becoming more and more serious day by day, so the central financial affairs must be completely transferred to their hands and then quickly, which is the inescapable one of the Egyptian mistakes.However, corrupt, treacherous and reform-looking ministers like Zhang Zhidong still borrowed 500,000 yuan from the UK in the example of the governor's self-borrowing of national debts last year to prepare troops for disabled compatriots, and in the name of iron politics, Borrow foreign debt from Japan.Doesn't he mean to ask for the trust of outsiders, and suddenly get this extra huge sum of money for the current squandering, and my death, or resignation from the government, then the responsibility is not my responsibility?But you don't know that it will cause disasters in the future, and there are people who can't be dealt with?Let the governors of all provinces follow the example of Zhang Zhidong, abuse their current powers, and privately claim to lend money to foreign countries. How can those foreign countries be afraid and dare not respond?Although the officials of the government are ever-changing, but the fat of the people is still there, he chokes me and squeezes my chest, rather worrying about not being able to return to Zhao?If you are happy to lend it, you are happy to give it. One province is five hundred thousand, and twenty provinces are not only ten million?Ten million a year, not ten million in ten years?From the beginning of this matter, those who talk about state affairs are familiar with it, but they don't know that this is the end, which is more than enough to destroy China, and the crimes of those who commit figurines are too numerous to count.When the central government has foreign debts, it is giving the central financial power to others; when the provincial organizations have foreign debts, it is also giving the local financial power to others.I sincerely can't bear to see the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of our capital, and the municipal envoys and aftermath bureaus of the provinces, and the positions of ministers and officials, all of which are left in vain to wait for the blue-eyed and bearded people.Alas!I'm lucky if you get what I said, but you don't hit it?When I read the modern history of Egypt, I can't help but shudder.

The uneasy thing is that the country's borrowing is like being forced by the enemy after a setback, and it has to be done.It is the policy of Xinjiang officials who are close to it, and there are still those who use borrowing to run reform projects, that is, the railway is their business.Husband develops railways for the sake of profit. It is a matter of seeking profit.And for those who borrow money, the actual amount they receive is only 10% off, and when the price of money rises, they have to add 10% to 20% every time they are repaid.That is to say, in terms of 10%, if you enter it, you can only get nine out of ten, and if you return it, ten must be eleven. It is a transfer, and 20% of it has been lost, and those who borrowed tens of thousands are short of 20 million.I still hope that the price of gold will be stable, and there will be no big rise, and then it will be possible.If foreign tycoons raise the price of gold every time the repayment period comes, it will not be difficult like the loan in the fourth or fifth year of Guangxu. Those who borrowed one million would pay back two million. Is it conceivable?The land of the husband's railway is also the land of China. If you borrow foreign debts to build the railway, you must use the railway to pay for it;That is not for now, but if there is any suspicion in the future, the creditor will hold the name of the owner of the property, and the state will pay for it, which is really unavoidable.Taking the land as the land of China, and making the current creditors not infringe on the right of roads, but if there is any disagreement at the same time, the creditors will entrust the unsatisfactory settlement and take interest from the roads, which is inevitable.Debts are also foreign debts. Based on this calculation, the road to borrowing money must end in the hands of outsiders.The road belongs to outsiders, but the place the road passes and its surrounding areas are not what China can have? (The above paragraph is mostly based on Ho's "New Political Foundation", the author's own notes.) Let's look at the shares of the Suez River, how is it related to the evolution of British and Egyptian sovereignty?Alas, this is the so-called self-seeker!That's why the Luhan Railway was borrowed from the manager of the Sino-Russian Bank, and Britain put all its strength to resist it; the Niuzhuang Railway borrowed from the HSBC Bank, and Russia fought desperately.If this is the case, then China will open one more railway, that is, one more lead to the subjugation of the country.Not only railways, but also all kinds of businesses are viewed in this way.Today, the governors of the whole country are also competing to talk about reform.That is to say, how to develop roads, how to train the army, how to expand manufacturing, how to develop mines, and how to find out what to rely on to start things, when the public and private are exhausted, the momentum will come from borrowing.If so, the cause of civilization will spread throughout the country, and the country will perish accordingly.Alas, the past cannot be traced back, and I still hope that those who speak of reformation in the future will be careful not to imitate Zhang Zhidong and Sheng Xuanhuai's policies to poison the world.

The death of the Russians in Poland is not something that can be destroyed by the Russians, but the nobles and noble families in Poland have made three bows and three concessions to invite the death of the Russians.Woohoo, I look at recent events in China, how similar they are!The gangsters have changed, and the ministers of the southeast border have signed a treaty with other countries to protect each other. Chinese and foreign people praise it, but they don't know that this is actually the basis for the countries to determine the sphere of influence.Zhang Zhidong was afraid of seeing the government, and even begged all countries by telegram to ask for protection of his post as the governor of the two lakes; and relying on the merits of mutual protection, he deceived the consuls in order to quicken his hatred and murder of alien parties; bureaucrats were not in harmony with themselves In the name of mutual protection for fear of injury, the power of outsiders is used to eliminate them.Is there any other?For the momentary self-interest, only one's own self-interest.Unknowingly, the power of election, dismissal, and life and death in the Yangtze River area has been transferred to foreign hands.Therefore, the governor of the Yangtze River Valley lived under the auspices of the British, just like the chieftain of India, since this battle began.For the fourth list of culprits to be punished, Rong Lu and others used their supernatural powers and borrowed the power of Russian and French envoys to avoid punishment.As a result, the big officials in the capital and Xi'an lived under the protection of the Russians, just like the weak king of Goryeo, and the battle began again.In a country, there are disturbances, if one is the Anglo-Japanese party, if the other is the Russian-French party, if they can be attached to a big country and be their slaves, then they think they can do it.Hey, I'm afraid it's not the time when the Russians built a fort to face the Polish parliament, but the princes of the Gungun will never realize it.People can't carve up me, but I will carve it up first, and open the way for the heroes to take advantage of it.The officials' self-assessment of the current plan will be successful, and then the people of our country will be slaves of slaves from now on.Officials are in peace, but is it true that the people of our country are in peace?

Alas!In my view, the strangest and most dangerous phenomenon in the world is not like the battle of boxers.It has been more than ten years since the great powers proposed to carve up China.Things are different, monsters and evildoers work together, and there is a Boxer incident for no reason, which is justified.Those who appear on the surface will flow, so does it mean that the proposal of carve-up will be implemented today?But I don't know that not only can't be done, but the opinions of politicians around the world have changed drastically. The voice of preserving China is broadcast in newspapers every day; The old trick, but a gentle way.Hey, I don't know why the big powers love China after this battle, and how quickly the policy has changed?On the one hand, he scolded our people for their barbarism and inhumanity, painted them into pictures, compiled them into novels, slandered them as much as they wanted, and intensified them, for fear of ineffectiveness;The Boxers were instigated by the government and presided over by Empress Dowager Xi, and since they are seen by everyone, everyone speaks the same word, but they still believe that they are co-lords, they are respected as orthodox, they are friends with enemies, they hide their grudges, and welcome their envoys of apology. God, the party who raises the repayment on behalf of him, is like protecting the child.Hey, what's the reason?The sniper is also the sniper, and the sniper is angry at the third and the twilight, and the sniper is happy at the third and the twilight.The nature of the Chinese is well known to the Europeans. How can they be divided by dividing it up?Those who seek practical benefits do not seek fame, and those who want to take the big must first give the small.He thinks that today's carve-up will trap our people in a desperate situation, and benefit their independence and xenophobia, while those who restrain and appease them in the future will be inferior.If we can’t carve it up today but instead say preserve it, then our people will feel like a condemned prisoner who has been pardoned, and they will appreciate the grace of reincarnation, and will be rewarded by Su Xing, and they will melt away their previous grievances and anger, and they will be afraid, envious, and grateful. The three kinds of minds come together sequentially, so that China is the China of Europe, and the Chinese are also citizens of Europe.I tried to read Hurd's new book "China's Field Measurement", ((P<R>OBERTHARTSESSAYSONTHECHINESEVISITATION, published in November last year, discussing the way Westerners treat China in the future because of the Boxer Incident. say:

On what basis should China's current issues be negotiated?There are no more than three strategies: one is to divide the country, the other is to change the imperial line, and the third is to support the Manchurian government.However, the policy of changing the imperial rule will be difficult to implement, because none of the Chinese people today has the aspirations to rule the country. If this policy is forced, the harassment will continue until the age of Wuning.The easiest policy to implement is to support the Manchurian court; but supporting it carelessly will not be able to eliminate the root of future disasters.Therefore, when it comes to China's final disposition, there is really no escaping the division, and the policy of unavoidable division cannot be implemented in a hurry today.Because the Chinese people have been sleeping for thousands of years, and now they are about to realize their big dreams, and gradually have the idea of ​​"China is the Chinese people's China". Therefore, the Boxer Movement was actually launched by their patriotism to strengthen China and reject outsiders. For the purpose also.Although there were no talents, no equipment, and a crushing defeat at the beginning of this time, it was not for nothing that the first feathers flew and the four responded.From now on, this spirit will become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and spread throughout the country.In the future, there will be the descendants of the Boxers, the cannons of Green Green, and the guns of Mauser, who will carry out the unfulfilled ambitions of the Boxers today.Therefore, for the current plan, all countries should use anti-division as the final definite goal, and now they should try their best to accommodate the feelings of the Chinese, so that they will gradually forget their military thinking and succumb to our Europeans. "Yellow Peril" (Westerners are deeply afraid of the Chinese, and warn each other about the words of "yellow peril."), they can be wiped out in smoke.and so on. (This is the general idea of ​​the translation of the whole book, not a chapter and a section. The author's own note.) Alas, although this is the private statement of Hurd alone, it is really nothing more than the public statement of European countries.From this point of view, those who talk about preserving China today, how can they love China?However, the Bixi people are well aware of the relationship between civil rights and state power. If we can make our 400 million people rise up and organize a government, improve its internal governance, and strengthen its strength, the white people will never be able to do so. Get involved in the Asian continent.It is also known that the rise of civil rights, due to the friction between the original force and the reactionary force, must suppress the motives of the whole country, keep its permanence for thousands of years, and then be able to wait for it to be manipulated, so the situation of maintaining peace is the key First doctrine Yan.I also know that the Chinese nation has the nature of being a slave to the same surname and worshiping the thieves of the people. Instead of replacing it, it is better to use it because of it. Using the Chinese to bully the Chinese and self-control the Chinese. Since everything is like this, I am accustomed to it and take it for granted. Although the cruelty and shackles are ten times that of Europeans, the peace of mind of the people is still there.Therefore, supporting the current government is the unique method. Now, I would like to tell 400 million people with one word: Don't worry about the subversion of others and the society, and the change of the court.Whoever has the heart to plan others will benefit their stupidity, not their wisdom; benefit their weak, not their strong; benefit their chaos, not their rule.The most stupid and weak enough to cause chaos in today's China is none other than the present government.So that there is a slight change, no matter what the degree of its literacy, it must be better than the current government; and the reason why he seeks me will not be as easy as it is today.Although the great powers are clumsy, how can they come out of this?And the same is oppression, and the same is humiliation. If it comes out of oneself, it will be very laborious and will receive its notoriety;Politicians from various countries are familiar with their plans.Let the power of the great powers directly abuse our people, and those who resist the people are called resisting foreign enemies, called righteous men, and patriotic, and there is no name to support them; use the power of the government of the country to rule our people indirectly, If the people resist, they call it resistance to the government, they call it chaos, and they call it rebellion.Therefore, government officials are used as puppets on the stage, while the great powers hide behind the curtain, holding and dancing.The government is the slave of foreign countries and the master of the people.Since the master sees that he is a slave to others, how can he be a slave to the master?The chief of India is also the master of the Indians; the emperor is the master of the Indian masters.The king of Annan is the master of the Annan people; the President of France is the master of the Annan masters.Our country has a master, and the dignity of the master is awe-inspiring, which our people can know; the master has his master, and the master takes the dignity of his master as his dignity, which is beyond the knowledge of our people.Today's commentators worry about being a slave to a foreign country, but they don't know that a foreign country once disdain to take me as a slave, but will take me as their slave's slave.If you are a slave, you may know it, you may worry about it, or you may save it; if you are a slave of a slave, you are obsessed but not aware of it, intimate but at peace with each other, vivid but content.Alas!This is really the one who died nine times without regret, but who will never recover.The creation of the new law of destroying the country is ingenious, and it is extremely true.Although, only the maggots are able to absorb dung, and the mortar is only able to bear pungent, what responsibility should other countries have?What's so strange?He cares for his own interests, he has his own political strategy, and he responds to you as an example, but he is different from the 400 million Chi Chi gangsters, who have created the special nature of this 031 Liang Qichao anthology, so that it can be used for his political strategy. I have been running to celebrate each other, staggering and fearing the future, thinking that the big powers love me, sympathize with me, caress me, and love me, and I will not divide it up, but I will keep it safe. China's hundreds of millions of years of Taoism will end today.This is what the devil is doing and laughing, and what the emperor is doing is helpless. Anyone who talks about preserving China must follow it by opening the door (OPEN THE DORE IN CHINA, which translates to open the whole country as a treaty port). .Wouldn't it be a good thing for the husband to open the door?He is also a country with a wide open door.And there is no extraterritorial legal power like in our country, where the Western people's business power can reach, it is the land that their national power can reach.Husband Shanghai, Hankou, etc. are called concessions, is the concession?Colonial ears!Take the whole country as a treaty port, that is, make the whole country a colony.Are there any Westerners who do not do their best to preserve their colonies?It is appropriate to try its best to preserve China.Those who want to preserve China must organize their transportation facilities.Now that the inland river has allowed the passage of small ships from foreign countries, the railways built by various countries will be implemented quickly, and thereafter they will be expanded day by day.Wouldn't it be good for my wife to contribute money to build the railway that I need to build on my behalf?And there is no such thing as the right to roads belongs to people, the road and the land are closely related, wherever the road reaches, it is within the reach of the army, the roads of twenty provinces are all connected, and the land of twenty provinces is no longer mine carry on.Those who preserve China must maintain its order and be responsible for its security.After the peace talks are concluded, there must be a system to replace the police in our country.Husband's police are an important tool for ruling, there is no such thing in the past, and it is better not to celebrate it?But without entrusting such power to outsiders and falsely handing it over to a stubborn government, virtuous governance will be ineffective, and demoralizing the people will be omnipotent.In the territory of Poland in the past, the strength of the Russian police was the most thoughtful. It was a blessing to Poland, but a disaster to Poland?And today, the police in Russia is the most strict in the world, and the Russian government is good at guarding against family thieves, and the people of Russia are moaning under the tyranny of tyranny, sinking into the depths and never recovering.The Russian people are in chains forever, but how can the Russian government stand in heaven and earth?What's more, the legal system is strict and the sovereignty is far less certain than that of Russia.Therefore, using police force to preserve China is just like pretending to be a robber with a sharp knife.Those who want to preserve China must rectify their finances.Husband China's wealth, floating on the ground, and those who are stuffed in the ground, are beyond the reach of the world.Dredge it out, flow it and spread it, you can control all nations, and look at the five continents.And nothing like commercial power, labor power, and political power. Since they are all in the hands of others, the source of wealth will be more open from then on, and those who want to earn food and clothing will have to rely on other people.It doesn't seem to be the case in today's European and American societies. With the increasing number of large companies, capitalists and laborers are divided into two paths. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.How can the power of Chinese capitalists compete with that of Westerners?If you can't be a capitalist, you have to be a laborer. In the past, well-off families were all over the world. Since then, you may have to bow your head and work hard, in order to work as a manager of foreign companies in various provinces.Those who preserve China must be educated.Education also strengthens the vitality of the people. Gu Wu heard that in the past few months, the translators and translators in the capital and the capitals of various provinces have suddenly increased in popularity and power. , and now they are all changed and engaged in this way.As for the high-ranking officials and handsome men, there are those who are as beautiful as their wives and daughters, and those who serve foreign generals and officials think it is an honor.I know that since then the trend of foreign education has been increasing day by day, and this kind of atmosphere has also been opened up day by day, so the one who compensates for the loss of the Boxers is nothing more than this.Education is one thing, but there is a big gap between national education and slave education; and slave education for slaves is beyond the reach of words and ideas.Alas, the reason why all the countries preserve China is nothing more than that!The reason why China is self-preserving is nothing more than that!The husband is familiar with the policy of carve-up, and if he tolerates it, he will survive; but if he knows the policy of preservation, he will make his fish rot and die!The new law, the new law, the previous car has been broken repeatedly, and Fang Qiu is here; drinking poison like cane, but the ashes have no regrets.Who will I be especially good at!Who will I be especially good at!
