Chapter 390: Show strength

PS: Five thousand words chapter
的 The dislocation of a certain node in history has continuously caused chain reactions one after another. After the "Chinese Exclusion Act" was officially promulgated and implemented, it is an open fact that Chinese are regarded as inferior races in the United States, regardless of whether the US government recognizes them.
Since the "Chinese Exclusion Act", the United States biological sciences and historical circles have re-cited the case of reasonable slaughter of Indians, citing a theory of eugenics.
The theory of eugenics divides nationals living in the United States into eugenic and inferior races according to race and color, and the blond Germanic, Anglo-Saxon, and Gaul ァ 新 ヤ ~ ⑧ ~ 1 ~ 中文 网 ωωω. χ ~ ⒏ ~ 1zщ.còм
白人, and even Slavs are white, classified as eugenic,
Mexican, Cuban and other mixed Latin descendants are classified as middle races.
However, Chinese, blacks, and short blacks in Southeast Asia are classified as inferior races.
Taking advantage of the wave of exclusion in various parts of the United States, eugenics have expressed their views in the newspaper media. The children of the inferior race are as inferior as their parents. When the children of the inferior people grow up, they will inherit their parents. "Defects" continue to be poor and criminals. Therefore, eugenics everywhere advocated that integration with poor people would lead to "race degradation" in the United States, and called on the government to legislate against interracial marriages between people of color and white people.
The proposition of the eugenics theory has aroused widespread public response in the United States.
In June 1882, Virginia passed the "Race Purity Act", which stipulates that intermarriage between people of color and white people is a felony. After that, Alabama (which is also the hardest-hit area of ​​the Chinese Expulsion Wave), the degree of persecution of local Chinese and California Generally nothing.) Similar laws have been passed in Georgia and California. Because the influence of the wind in the early days of the country,
This discrimination against people of color is particularly welcomed by Southern states. In many southern states, discriminatory Chinese and black forces have quickly segregated themselves under the banner of eugenics.
Once fanatical racism is instigated, it is difficult to follow the plan of planners.
A large part of the people who immigrated to the United States in the early days were criminals, hooligans, and streets who were in criminal cases. After arriving in the American colonies, after more than two hundred years of war with Indians, they developed unique cruel and deformed values ​​to kill Indians. It is fun to collect scalp of killed Indians as a trophy, and to treat Indians with bottomless and restrained killings, so that the American folk has been permeated with a social atmosphere that discriminates against the yellow race and does not treat the yellow race as a human being equal to them.
随着 With the uncontrolled development of eugenics theory, they belong to the white camp, but in the religious culture of European countries, discriminated red-haired Celtic descendants and Hispanic descendants have also been treated unequally.
Avid white Americans continue to rank among the white class, and continue to divide whites of different races into three, six, and nine according to skin color, hair, height, religious culture, and other factors.
8In August 1882, some radical eugenics proposed an evil operation.
扩大 Extend the scope of the crackdown on discrimination to the bottom of society, including the poor, criminals, prostitutes, and people with disabilities in the white ethnic group,
They were labeled as "socially deficient," and eugenics ridiculed them as "social parasites" and should be resolved "once and forever." Since killing is no good, let them cut off their children.
On September 17, twelve Indiana lawmakers initiated
提案 The proposal to deprive socially disadvantaged people of their fertility rights advocates forbidding such people to have offspring.
On September 22, the Indiana State Government rejected the motion of eugenics with a 301 opposition and a 217 approval.
However, the government's opposition has not dispelled their ideas. On the contrary, seeing more and more Americans accept their claims, eugenic scholars are encouraged to continue to soar on the road of out of control.
She and colored people, especially white women who were married to the Chinese, were rejected by the family. The children they gave birth were classified into the colored people's ethnic group and excluded from the white ethnic group.
Before the U.S. government did not unilaterally tear up the Chinese Workers Repatriation Agreement, in the past three decades, about 570,000 Chinese workers arrived in the United States, excluding the number of deaths due to diseases, storms, and other accidents that occurred during ocean transportation and those who had returned to their hometowns in South America and the Far East. In April 1882, there were about 310,000 Chinese workers and descendants of Chinese and white races of Chinese descent in the United States.
Although hard-working Chinese laborers who have ventured into a foreign country have been discriminated against by white males, Chinese males who have completed labor schedules and engaged in grocery stores, goods dealers, and other businesses in the United States have relatively been able to contact white women. Be treated more gently.
Medic Lang, small rural man, and small grocery store owners often contacted white women. Over time, some white women from the bottom of American society were attracted by the oriental temperament unique to Chinese men. They eliminated family obstacles and surrounding eyes, and married them. Chinese with different skin colors.
The rise of Han in South America brought the spiritual liberation of the Chinese. After cutting off their braids and improving their living conditions, young Chinese laborers who paid little attention to taking care of their personal dress and appearance gradually broke the stigma imposed on them by the mainstream American society. Therefore, With the increasing length of stay in the United States, the cases of long-term single Chinese workers and white women gradually increasing. When the South American and Chinese countries were preparing to count the number of Chinese leaving the United States, they discovered that a total of 300,000 people who applied to immigrant South American and South American groups. Among them, the number of white women exceeded 40,000, and the number of mixed offspring of male Chinese workers and white women also reached nearly 100,000.
Counting the number of marriages between the two parties, but not willing to follow the Chinese husband's departure from the United States, about 50,000 ordinary American women married to male Chinese workers.
Not all white women are willing to leave the United States for a long time after marrying a Chinese husband. At the same time, not all Chinese who are staying in the United States are willing to accept a helping hand extended by the Han country, abandon some of their family business, and return to the unfamiliar South American Han. country.
Including Chinese workers, white women married to Chinese, and mixed-race descendants, the total population of the Chinese ethnic group, which was acquiesced by the Han government, was about 370,000. Finally, the total number of people who chose to leave the United States was only 310,000. More than 10,000 white women married to Chinese and more than 40,000 Chinese still choose to stay in the United States. Starting
The Tatars have their own ambitions, the Chinese in the United States have their considerations, and the Han government has specific requirements for selecting immigrants.
Every year, the number of Chinese who require immigration to South America exceeds the carrying capacity of Han ocean shipping vessels as early as two years ago. The mainland of Han has also passed. In the early stage of acceptance by all Chinese, the number of Chinese immigrants to South America was very large. Only those who meet the government's immigration standards will be accepted. Like guys with a background of hooligan origin and social dregs, even if they escaped the immigration examination after being discovered, they will still be unable to escape the fate of the colony. As for the social transformation of them, From the emperor Li Mingyuan to the ordinary Han people, if you spend a lot of energy trying to transform a stubborn social slag, it would be better to accept a few ordinary Chinese who are simple and law-abiding. Affordable.
The dispatch of ocean shipping vessels to help the Chinese to evacuate the United States is based on national and national morality. As for the tens of thousands of Chinese who are unwilling to evacuate, the Chinese side will not force it.
Since the first batch of more than 30 ocean-going transport ships arrived on the Atlantic City of the United States, Miami, on May 6, 1882, they have started to the South American mainland, and the transport fleet along the Atlantic and Pacific directions has continued to sail North America. …………
The impact of the Chinese Exclusion Act exceeded the historical period. In order to keep abreast of changes in the domestic situation in the United States, Li Mingyuan specially convened Wang Youtian, former head of immigration affairs in the United States, and Hu Yaki, director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to inquire about the situation.
"California and Alabama have the most severe cases of exclusion. The local radicals not only reject and expel, but also white women with black hair and looks close to the Chinese."
The head of Ibara's immigration affairs in the United States, Wang Yutianhui, the current head of the Inspectorate, reports.
"Too late, Americans will pay for their actions."
明 Li Mingyuan has never had any illusions about the lower limit of American morality. It is not surprising that the United States has expanded racial discrimination because of the enactment of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
"How well is the Annan Chinese transportation operation carried out? Will the deployment of ocean-going vessels to transport Chinese Americans affect the Annan operation too much?"
"As of mid-October, about 760,000 Annan Chinese have arrived on the mainland, and the remaining 260,000 Annan Chinese are expected to arrive in South America by transport ship in February 1883, and some ocean shipping vessels will be deployed, which will not affect Annan transport operations. Greater impact. "
Liu Pu replied.
"The U.S. government is very active and proactive in repatriating Chinese workers. In the coastal areas of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, not only are local ocean-going fleets relocating Chinese, but also domestic shipping companies that accept US government assignments and undertake the task of transporting Chinese workers for free.
He Wang Arita explained.
"It's not all free. Although American shipping companies do not charge Chinese people for shipping and transportation costs, the cost of ocean transportation is paid by the US government."
Hu Yaji shook his head, perplexed, "The domestic industry in the United States is developing rapidly and requires a large amount of labor to undertake infrastructure construction tasks. Chinese workers can suffer hardships and have low wage requirements. Do they just give up the low cost advantage just because of so-called race differences, preferring to use Are they two times more expensive than Chinese workers and hire local white people? "
"Not just economic factors."
明 Li Mingyuan reviewed the population growth data of the United States in recent years and found that due to the continued turmoil in South American countries, the United States population increased by nearly 3 million compared with the same period in history.
The additional 3 million immigrants need to work to support their families. To this end, the hard-working and hard-working Chinese are expelled from the United States, and then use the jobs left by the Chinese workers to resettle white immigrants, which is cheaper than simply considering the Chinese workers The cost is more of a long-term benefit.
明 Li Mingyuan explained the reason why the number of American immigrants doubled, which led to the change in the attitude of the US government towards Chinese workers.
He continued: "The so-called inferiority of the Chinese is just an excuse for the US Government to implement the" Chinese Exclusion Act. "
South America is vigorously increasing immigration and population, and the US government is also accepting large numbers of white immigrants.
In order to make room for white immigrants to work and survive, the U.S. government can expel and persecute the Chinese without any fear. As for the reason why the U.S. government dares to act like this, the Qing court has decayed and is about to collapse. Weak, regardless of population or national industrial strength, cannot compare with the United States.
If you are backward, you will be beaten. If your country is backward and weak, your citizens will be humiliated and persecuted by other countries abroad.
Alas, Americans have given an intuitive "education lesson" to the local government. All Han nationals must keep in mind the humiliation that Americans have given to the Chinese nation, and never forget it! "
"The monarch humiliated his death, and the nation was humiliated. Those who are courtiers must bear the burden of humiliation to report today's shame!"
朴 Liu Pu and Wang Youtian agree.
"Being brave and brave, the" Chinese Exclusion Act "insults the entire Chinese nation. Not only must the local government protest the US government seriously, but it must also use actual scientific and technological achievements to show that the Chinese are not inferior. The Chinese nation can also develop A world-leading industrial achievement. "
The longer he has lived in this era, the more Li Mingyuan feels how severe the blow to the Chinese ethnic group ’s national self-esteem and national self-confidence has been. So in order to boost the Chinese spirit, Li Mingyuan decided to change the field of science and technology. Low-key development strategy.
"Notify Chang'an Electric Power Company, the day after tomorrow I will visit the Primero Hydropower Station in person. By then, the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Rites and the Electricity Department of the Ministry of Industry will each send powerful officials to ensure that Western powers, especially Americans, know that the world ’s first practical type The hydroelectric power station is the Primero Hydropower Station in Han Dynasty!
Han Han is no worse than white Americans in the field of emerging technology! "
In October 1878, the rotating magnetic field generator project led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences was a complete success. In November of the same year, the Meripro Hydropower Station and the Meripro Dam construction project started simultaneously. In March 1882, the overall construction of the hydropower station was completed and completed. In January, three improved rotating magnetic field-type medium-sized generators capable of providing 30kw of electricity were delivered to the hydropower station for installation and commissioning. On April 21, 1882,
The quiet and dark Chang'an City under the night light, for the first time, received the light brought by electricity.
In fact, according to Han ’s technology reserves in power, as early as 1880, the Chinese Academy of Sciences had the technical ability to transmit power to Changan City, but considering the direction of future power development, Li Mingyuan rejected local and foreign hires. Researchers suggested that the operation time of the Changan Primero Hydropower Station be delayed until 1882.
明 Li Mingyuan didn't care about the name of the world's first practical hydropower station, but in this case, it is necessary to vigorously publicize the development and progress of Han in the emerging power sector.
"Your Majesty, the number of tungsten filament incandescent lamps produced by the Academy of Sciences exceeds 2,000. Are they installed in the main street of Chang'an City with the help of Changan Electric Power Company?"
"The vacuum properties of incandescent lamps and the smelting of tungsten wires have been solved?"
"The academy of science has used the method of filling the interior of the bulb with nitrogen and smelting tungsten metal by electrolytic method, which basically solved the problem of the vacuum of incandescent lamps and the cost of smelting tungsten metal. , It is initially possible to install it on the main street of Chang'an City. "
The cost of making a bulb and the cost of electricity are two major problems that limit the widespread use of incandescent lamps. The cost of 6.2 won per lamp and 2.4 won per month is still an unacceptable price for the general public. Therefore, the current tungsten filament incandescent lamp Can only be used in the main city of Chang'an in Beijing.
"Temporarily install 600 incandescent lamps on six streets in Chang'an's main urban area. Electricity companies will regularly transmit electricity from 6 pm to 6 pm every day."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The director of the Ministry of Industry took note of Li Mingyuan's order and asked, "Will the V-twin steel gasoline engine developed by Mr. Daimler be included in the announcement?"
"No need. Gasoline internal combustion engines do not yet have a wide range of practical capabilities. In the next five years, local research on gasoline internal combustion engines will mainly focus on technology reserves, implement a three-generation technology replacement system of open commercial type, technology reserve generation, and research and development generation. To put it plainly, it is to put into the commercial field production of internal combustion engine technology that is equal to or slightly better than the scientific and technological performance of the western powers. It will be ahead of the commercial field and the basic internal combustion engine technology will be sealed and kept secret. It will far exceed the current level of technology. The internal combustion engine technology put into the market ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is included in the list of key R & D, focusing on R & D by major scientific researchers. "
Having a prophet-like vision in the field of science and technology can make Han scholars have fewer detours, such as the internal combustion engine. When the internal combustion engine project was initially established in 1876, the research and development direction of the gas-based internal combustion engine was rejected, making the relevant research of the Academy of Sciences People, can focus on gasoline-type internal combustion engines from beginning to end.
"The overall local scientific research level still lags far behind that of western countries. The commercial use of electric light and hydropower projects cannot be concealed from the eyes of the western countries. It is also okay to make it public. A little bit of information! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
More than a dozen officials sitting on the palace chairs stood up and said earnestly.
"The United States, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany are all conducting research on the technical performance of submarines. Although the American Holland rejected the invitation of the local government, the main strategic uses of underwater submarines, including the details of the application of periscopes on submarines, I have also made many suggestions to the researchers of the Academy of Sciences. The local scientific research technology of Han Dynasty must not be overly dependent on Westerners. Without Holland, Han Kingdom must also develop a superb underwater submarine!
Minister Liu, gave a command to the Ministry of the Navy, research and development of submarine projects do not need to worry, I can wait for 10 or 20 years, but if before 1900, the submarine project has not broken through the actual technical difficulties of offshore, I will investigate Responsibility for their negligence! "
"The minister will convey His Majesty's orders to the Admiralty unchanged." ...
