Chapter 58 6. Self-isolation due to serious illness

The Qing government implemented closed doors. In fact, we can see that ancient China has always been very open.That is to say, since the Ming Dynasty, because of the rampant Japanese pirates, the country has been closed to the outside world. In fact, it is mainly because the emperor is too capable.Seven trips to the West produced more than six million taels of silver, so this work can no longer be done.Look at Columbus, my brother, how many things they got back from three small cargo ships, we are lucky, so many ships, so much money, isn't it right?If you can't do this, if you can't do it, you will start to close the country.China does nothing like this.

China has closed its doors for more than 400 years, and it used to be open to the outside world.The Song Dynasty liked foreigners the most, what did foreigners come for, and they gave money.Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty said: "Boats in Guangnan City are very rich in profits. It is better to be promoted and appointed for a long time. Shufu merchants are willing to come, and they are willing to pay one hundred thousand yuan at every turn, and they are all lenient to the people." Earn 1.8 million, so everyone is generous.The promotion officer should be hired for a long time, so the promotion officer in Guangdong, the head of the customs, must use a good person, this person must be used well, and it takes a long time for him to work, like the Arab Pu Gengshou, who worked for half a year more than a century.So at that time, you think that the territorial income of the Northern Song Dynasty was ten times that of the Ming Dynasty.The Southern Song Dynasty was still six times that of the Ming Dynasty. Where did the money come from?So the Song Dynasty is the greatest era in Chinese history, the loveliest era.Some people say that China's capitalism sprouted in that era.The Qing Dynasty was absolutely closed to the outside world.Closing customs means prohibiting Chinese people from going to sea and restricting foreign businessmen from coming to China.

The Chinese are absolutely not allowed to go to sea. Going to sea is a traitor.Your family sent you a letter from Hong Kong, it's over, you are suspected of being a spy.Today, Bei'er is happy, and shows off everywhere.At that time, it was very suspicious that it had overseas relations, so it was okay?The Chinese are forbidden to go to sea. If they go to sea, they will be troublemakers. They are not allowed to return to their hometown. If they return to their hometown, they will be executed.Then restrict foreign businessmen from coming to China.After coming, I can only go to Guangzhou.

The product that foreigners need most when they come to China is tea.Tea is mainly produced in Fujian. If you ship directly from Fujian to the sea, it will save trouble. No, you have to pick it up, cross Wuling, then come to Guangzhou, and then go to sea from Guangzhou, the tea will rot.You think the cost will be high all of a sudden.So foreigners got a Fuzhou during the five-port trade, just want to quickly transport the tea away there, how cheap it is.When you get to Guangzhou, the freight cost will go up all of a sudden. These thirteen lines can be exploited, but they don’t do anything.So in this way, China is isolated from the world. The more powerful this era is, the more open it is to the outside world, and the more backward it is, the more closed it will be.The stronger your country is, the more open it is to the outside world, the more confident I am.Foreigners come to see China, where the heavens rule and the country is rich.

When Dr. Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a considerable part of his supporters were overseas Chinese.Overseas Chinese are overseas, and they don't have such a deep hatred with the Qing Dynasty. That is to say, you only know that there is a powerful motherland behind you when you are overseas, which is very exciting.I feel that a country should not make people think how terrible you are, but should make people think how cute you are, just like a person, what's the use of being afraid of you?You have a shaved head and a dragon tattooed on your arm. You are quite proud of giving up your seat when you get in the car, right? It looks like you have just been released. This one has just been released. You have been sentenced to eight years in prison. Someone gave up your seat , that is to avoid you, afraid of you, what's the use.So why do overseas Chinese support Mr. Zhongshan? Because he is abroad, the government of his country doesn’t take them seriously. Not only does he not take them seriously, but he also treats them as traitors and traitors.

The Spaniards occupied the Philippines. There are many Chinese in the Philippines, and they revolted in the Philippines.The governor of the Philippines in Spain ordered the massacre, and he couldn't stop it once he killed it. He didn't expect to kill so many.More than 20,000 Chinese were killed before and after.The governor of Spain was terrified, so he sent people across the sea to report the incident to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty. Sorry, we killed the wrong one. Can we discuss this matter and we will lose money.As a result, after reporting this matter, there was no reply for a year, and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi forgot about it.Then I remembered that there was another matter in the Philippines. I reported it to the emperor. After more than a year, the imperial court issued a decree to reward the Spanish governor with 20,000 taels of silver!Didn't you kill more than 20,000 Chinese?I reward you with twenty thousand taels of silver!They are all traitors to China, they are all traitors.You are not a traitor, why did you run out?You kill them to get rid of the filth for the Heavenly Dynasty. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded with one tael of silver for killing them.

When people are overseas, the motherland not only does not protect them, but also assists and abuses them. What do you think the court wants you to do?We went to Malaysia to see the largest local Chinese cemetery, the Sanbaoshan cemetery, which are all Chinese cemeteries.On the tombstones are the years of Emperor Ming and Jiaqing. They all use the era of China. In fact, China is still the motherland. I am a minister of Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, but our place is not easy to live in. , Fujian, Zhejiang can not live, I can only come to this place to make a living.It's easy to live here, there are few people, and the land is big, and you can make a living here. I make a living here.But the motherland is in China, but my motherland treats me like this. Do you think I can not overthrow the court?
