Chapter 567 New Relationship

Wars, plagues, and famines will all cause population migration. Because of the spread of the Black Death in Eurasia, immigrants who were unwilling to go to the New World also left their homeland because of avoiding the disease. The Irish also fled to the United States because of the famine in 1845.

It is a common form to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the nobles must stay until the end. During the plague in London, the Stuart royal family and the rich fled, and the people of the city government stayed. During the Glorious Revolution, the Stuarts The special royal family was very cooperative and abdicated. In other words, in the Eastern proverb, those who know current affairs are called heroes.

No matter how unwilling to let go of power, you must let it go. You are afraid of death and dare not take responsibility, and you want to cling to power. How can there be such a cheap thing in this world.

During the Qing Dynasty, Chinese civilians were sold as "pigs" to Britain and the United States as laborers. This country has eliminated slavery since the Song Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty tried to restore slavery, but it was overthrown by the Ming Dynasty, and it was restored in the Qing Dynasty. slavery.

Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the predecessor of the Qing Dynasty, the Houjin regime, was an out-and-out slavery country. After that, the Han and Korean people under the rule of the Jin Dynasty were all forced into slavery by the Jurchens, and their economic form was a slavery economy. The Jurchen aristocrats regard the captives as their private property, and the pursuit of the "runaways" is very strict.

In the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty" translated by George Thomas Stangdong, the punishment for "fleeing people" is clearly recorded.

The Fugitive Law stipulates that a fugitive would be punished with "100 whips" for the first two escapes, and if the third escape was captured, he would be punished, that is, killed. The soldiers were slaves, and under the Ministry of War, they set up a supervisory and arresting yamen to perform their duties.

Once tattooed on the right cheek, one hundred lashes will be returned to the Lord; second time tattooed on the left cheek, the lashes will be returned to the Lord as before. Three times, it is said that the death belongs to the Ministry of punishment. It is also stipulated that the main criminal who escaped from the nest will be hanged as usual, the wife's family property registration will be lost, and the neighbors of the nest family will migrate to remote areas.

The entire bannerman class is a sustenance class, they do not work for a living, and there is no essential difference from slave owners.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, its series of enclosures and investments were also manifestations of the economic form of post-golden slavery.

A sign of social progress is the reduction of personal dependence. Before Tang and Tang Dynasty, there was slavery. The slaves were untouchables and belonged to the private property of the master. economic bond. The Manchu rule brought the master-slave relationship from the grasslands, the Manchus entered the customs, and then colonized the master-slave relationship again, "strictly dividing the master-slave". Even in the late Qing Dynasty, the Manchurians still maintained slavery.

If Sun Yat-sen hadn't launched the Revolution of 1911, China would have been like the black people long ago, and the people would have been auctioned off as slaves all over the world.

The core idea of ​​Confucianism is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, integrity and shame, as well as humility and obedience. In particular, the Three Cardinal Guides and the Five Constant Principles, where the ruler guides his ministers, the father guides his son, and the husband guides his wife, were proposed by Dong Zhongshu, which did not exist in Confucianism before the Han Dynasty. This kind of thinking can easily cultivate "obedient citizens", which is especially suitable for slavery countries.

The Zhou Dynasty was also a slavery country. People 5,000 years ago did so because they understood the limitations of the world, while the Qing Dynasty did it entirely for the convenience of their own slavery. The Jingyan system had a very absurd variation in the Qing Dynasty. The Song and Ming Jingyans were all taught by ministers to educate the emperor. For example, when Emperor Chongzhen wanted to move the capital, the ministers advised against it. After the banquet officials had finished speaking, the emperor delivered a speech on the emperor, and then the officials knelt down and praised: "The emperor's sacred learning is profound, which has never been published before, and the scriptures are passed down with sincerity, and the scriptures are passed on to all generations. The ministers are so proud.", During the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the thinking of the entire Han official class was distorted. They were so incompetent that they could not guarantee the citizenship rights of civilians. Instead, they would be free if they left.

In the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, the fire burned for 3 days and 3 nights. The piers, commercial districts, and industrial areas within 6 miles of the city were all reduced to ashes. But this was a glimmer of opportunity for the Chinese immigrants who hid in San Francisco because of the US federal government's "Chinese Exclusion Act" in 1882.

Previously, the Chinese could only enter the United States to make a living in the name of going to the United States to do business. Now because the files are burned, the Chinese can declare with great fanfare that they are ABCs born in the United States with the help of white witnesses, and ask the government to reissue the "lost" local documents due to the fire. Birth certificate documents, thus becoming an American with dignity. These Chinese who have obtained the birth certificate of the United States have since then obtained citizenship and American citizenship. Not only are they not excluded from the "Chinese Exclusion Act", they can even enter and exit freely. The right of children born outside the United States to immigrate to the United States is not subject to any quota restrictions.

They are free. Confucianism defaults to the existence of the privileged class. It is not that everyone is equal before the law. The "gentlemen" who talk about benevolence, justice and morality have not done as well as the tyranny of Qin after Shang Yang's reform. At least Shang Yang let Qin Huiwen also take the blame. , but it was his teacher who was punished.

In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a strange vicious circle between officials, common people and "foreigners". Many officials could show off their power in front of the common people, but they kept a low profile in front of the foreigners. please. Of course, there is no way to maintain judicial justice in this situation.

As for the inviolability of personal freedom and the inviolability of personal dignity, there is no guarantee. With the illiteracy rate at that time and such scholars as the leaders, how could it be possible to understand what "personal dignity" is, and they don't even know how to get rid of "personal dignity" maintain?

Leaving such a country and traveling across the ocean to come to a foreign country can increase your knowledge and enjoy the democracy and freedom that "slavery countries" cannot enjoy.

There is still slavery in the Middle East, because of religious regulations, a mosque spends most of the day in the mosque, and he cannot perform labor. In this case, slaves are needed to be responsible for labor.

In fact, during the Han Dynasty, China was already eliminating slavery, especially Wang Mang. He promulgated the law that there would be no more slaves in the future, and the existing slaves were allowed to perish. In addition to the silk trade, there was also the slave trade on the road. The slavery that had gradually disappeared had been revived again. There were also punishment clauses for "running slaves" in the Tang law, but the Tang Empire at that time treated slaves much better than other countries, and there was no With so many natural disasters, wars and famines, and merchants' descriptions, gold and spices are everywhere in the East, Europeans have special feelings for the Tang Dynasty.

It is like a paradise on earth, and many people travel thousands of miles to visit that mysterious land. Unfortunately, the China Stangton saw was far different from what he imagined, and his dreams were broken. Feel.

The Constitution stipulates that "citizens are equal before the law" and "no organization or individual shall have privileges beyond the Constitution and the law." To realize "citizens are equal before the law" requires the elimination of privileges.

That "customer is God" mentality not only violates the Constitution, but also challenges theocracy. We must know that the United States launched the third War of Independence for the two constitutions, also known as the Civil War, and 600,000 people died. How can some people change the law easily? It's like a child using an eraser to erase the homework written on the paper, and then write new answers crookedly. As for the other kids seeing his "masterpiece", he doesn't care whether Gao is happy or not, he is a damned "God", what can he do if he is not convinced?

After a loud bang, a wine bottle shattered, and the red wine inside flowed out, spilling all over the floor like blood.

In the dilapidated shipyard, the lingering sound of gunshots continued to echo, and Ma Youxuan's men put down the "Black Star", a weapon often used by the big circle gang.

He is obviously a soldier, and many members of the Daquan Gang are veterans. No wonder Mr. Wen suspects Ma Youxuan's origin.

The London Docklands was once the operating area of ​​the Port of London, the largest port in the world. After the Second World War, with the development of logistics revolutions such as large-scale ships and containerization, the London Docklands became increasingly depressed.

There are many types of docks. The wet dock has gates at the mouth of the artificial river, surrounded by warehouses and protective walls, and ships can berth and load and unload after entering. The dry dock is small in scale, and the river water in the artificial Hanoi is pumped out after the ship enters, and it is built for repairing the ship. As the business slumped, they were gradually abandoned, and the rusty iron sheets would make a harsh sound when the river wind blows, and Pomona inexplicably felt that she was doing illegal transactions.

"How do I know it works?" Ma Youxuan looked at the box of silver bullets. They had fancy patterns on their surface, which looked more like a work of art.

"Try it with a werewolf and you'll know." Severus smelled the aroma of the cigar, but didn't smoke it. A fool would smoke something handed over by a gang member.

"I heard a message that you want to bribe a member of parliament."

"This is not news. When you are away from home, you have many friends and many paths." Ma Youxuan put the lid on the wooden box again, and then recruited one of his men to whisper.

"Are you saying he's going to point these things at us?" Pomona whispered worriedly in Severus' ear.

Grindelwald once said in a speech that sooner or later, Muggles will turn their weapons on wizards. In order to avoid this from happening, wizards must hold power. After all, power is also concentrated in the hands of a few Muggles.

"Don't worry, they're businessmen," Severus said with a smile, "and we have common enemies at the moment."

Pomona looked at him in horror.

"Your husband is right." Ma Youxuan also smiled and said, "To deal with disobedient animals, you need to be taught a lesson."

"How about a different way? Stop bribing the councilors, and directly reform the parliament to increase the number of seats for immigrants." Severus said suddenly, and looked at him in surprise this time.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"One, I think it's very interesting, and two, I think you are very interesting."

Ma Youxuan didn't reply immediately.

"what do you want?"

"How about treating us to dinner? I heard that Chinese people are master chefs. Besides Kung Pao Chicken, what other dishes do you have?"
