PS: 5,000 words chapter

After the "Chinese Exclusion Act" was officially promulgated and implemented, whether or not the US government recognized it, it was already an open fact that the Chinese were regarded as an inferior race in the United States.

Since the Chinese Exclusion Act, the American biological science and historical circles have revisited the case of justified massacres of Indians, citing a eugenics theory.

The theory of eugenics divides the people living in the United States into eugenic races and inferior races, blond, blue-eyed Germans, Anglo-Saxons, and Gauls, according to their race and skin color

, and even the white Slavs, who are classified as eugenic races,

Mexican, Cuban, and other mixed-race Latino descendants are classified as intermediate races.

The Chinese, blacks, and South East Asian dwarf blacks are classified as inferior races.

Taking advantage of the anti-Chinese trend in the United States, eugenicists published their views in the newspaper media that children of inferior people are just as inferior as their parents, and that the children of inferior people will inherit the "defects" of their parents when they grow up to be adults and continue to be poor and criminals. Therefore, eugenicists are everywhere preaching that associating with inferior people will lead to "racial degradation" in the United States, and call on the government to legislate to prohibit people of color from intermarrying with whites.

The proposal of eugenics theory has aroused a wide range of public responses in the United States.

In June 1882, Virginia passed the Racial Purity Act, which made it a felony for people of color to marry whites, and then Alabama (again the hardest hit area of the Chinese exclusion movement, persecuted the local Chinese to the same extent as California). and Georgia and California have passed similar laws. Because of the influence of the wind in the early days of the founding of the country,

This discriminatory rhetoric against people of color is particularly welcomed in Southern states. In many southern states, discriminatory Chinese and black forces quickly segregated themselves under the banner of eugenics.

Once the fanatical culture of racism is stirred up, it is difficult to carry out the planners' plan.

After arriving in the American colonies, after more than 200 years of war with the Indians, they developed unique brutal and deformed values, taking pleasure in killing Indians, collecting the scalps of killed Indians as trophies, and treating Indians with no bottom line and restrained slaughter, so that the American people have always been permeated with a social atmosphere that discriminates against the yellow race and does not treat the yellow race as human beings equal to them.

With the uncontrolled development of eugenics theory, they both belong to the Caucasian camp, but in the religious culture of European countries, the red-haired Celtic descendants and Hispanic descendants who are discriminated against also suffer unequal treatment.

Fanatical white Americans continue to divide the white class into hierarchies, continuing to divide whites of different races into three, six, nine and so on according to factors such as skin color, hair, height, religion and culture.

In August 1882, some radical eugenicists proposed a nefarious operation.

Expand the scope of discrimination to the poor, criminals, prostitutes, and the disabled in the white community,

They are labelled as "socially deficient people", and eugenicists mercilessly ridicule them as "social parasites" who should be addressed "once and for all". Since it is not possible to kill people, let them cut off their children and grandchildren.

On Sept. 17, twelve Indiana legislators initiated

The proposal to deprive socially deficient people of their reproductive rights advocates prohibiting such groups from having offspring.

On September 22, the Indiana state government rejected the eugenics scholars' motion with 301 against and 217 in favor.

However, the government's opposition did not discourage them, on the contrary, seeing more and more Americans accept their ideas, eugenics scholars were encouraged to continue to soar on the road out of control.

White women who intermarry with people of color, especially those who intermarry with Chinese, are ostracized by their families, and their children are classified as people of color and excluded from the white community.

Before the U.S. government unilaterally tore up the "Chinese Labor Repatriation Agreement," in the past 30 years, about 570,000 Chinese laborers arrived in the United States, excluding the number of people who died of disease, storms and other accidents during ocean transportation and who had returned to their homeland in South America and the Far East, in April 1882, there were about 310,000 Chinese laborers and Chinese and white mixed-race children with Chinese ancestry in the United States.

Although the hard-working Chinese laborers who entered a foreign country and endured hardships suffered from white male discrimination, those Chinese men who completed their labor work and worked in grocery stores and merchants in the United States were relatively treated more gently in contact with white women.

Over time, some white women from the bottom of American society were attracted by the unique oriental temperament of Chinese men, and they overcame the obstacles of their families and the eyes around them, and married Chinese people with different skin colors from them.

The rise of the Han Kingdom in South America brought about the spiritual liberation of the Chinese, after cutting off the braids and improving the living conditions, the young Chinese laborers who paid a little attention to taking care of their personal clothing and appearance gradually broke the slander imposed on them by the mainstream American society, therefore, as the time of staying in the United States became longer and longer, the cases of the combination of Chinese workers who had been single for many years and white women gradually increased, and when the South American Han side was ready to count the number of Chinese leaving the United States, it was found that the number of white women exceeded 40,000 in the group of 300,000 people who applied to immigrate to the South American Han KingdomThe number of mixed-race descendants of male Chinese workers and white women is also nearly 100,000.

Counting the amount of marriages between the two parties but unwilling to leave the United States with their Chinese husbands, there are about 50,000 ordinary American women who marry male Chinese workers.

Not all white women are willing to leave the United States after marrying their Chinese husbands, and at the same time, not all Chinese in the United States are willing to accept the helping hand extended by the Han Kingdom, give up part of their family business, and return to the unfamiliar South American Han Kingdom.

Including Chinese workers, white women married to Chinese, and children of mixed race, the total population of the Chinese ethnic group was about 370,000 by default by the Han government, and in the end, 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.

People have their own aspirations, Chinese people in the United States have their own considerations, and the Han government also has specific requirements for selecting immigrants.

The number of Chinese who are required to move to South America every year has exceeded the carrying limit of Han ocean-going shipping ships as early as two years ago, and the Han mainland has also passed the initial stage of accepting all Chinese, and the number of Chinese who are required to immigrate to South America is very large, and only people who meet the government's immigration standards will accept them, like the kind of ruffians and hooligans who are born and are social scum, even if they are lucky enough to avoid the entry examination, after being discovered later, they still can't escape the fate of distributing colonies. Even the ordinary people of the Han Kingdom do not have that mind, if they spend a lot of energy trying to transform a stubborn social scum, it is better to re-accept a few ordinary Chinese who are simple by nature and abide by the law.

Sending ocean-going shipping ships to help the Chinese evacuate from the United States is out of national and national morality, and as for the tens of thousands of Chinese who are unwilling to evacuate, the Han side will not force it.

Since May 6, 1882, the first batch of more than 30 ocean-going transport ships arrived in Miami, a city on the Atlantic coast of the United States, starting from the mainland of South America, along the Atlantic and Pacific convoys, and continuing to sail to North America. …………

In order to keep abreast of the changes in the domestic situation in the United States, Li Mingyuan specially summoned Wang Youtian, former head of immigration affairs in the United States, and Hu Yaji, minister general of foreign affairs, to inquire about the relevant situation.

"California and Alabama are the worst anti-Chinese activists, who not only ostracize and expel them, but also persecute some white women with black hair who are close to Chinese in appearance......

Wang Arita, the former head of immigration affairs in the United States and the current inspectorate of the Imperial Palace, reported.

"Too much, and the Americans will pay for their actions."

Li Mingyuan has never had illusions about the moral lower limit of Americans, and it is not surprising that the promulgation of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States has expanded racial discrimination.

"How is the Annam Chinese transport operation going? Will the dispatch of ocean-going vessels to transport Chinese Americans have too much impact on the Annan operation? ”

"By mid-October, about 760,000 Annam Chinese had arrived on the mainland, and the remaining 260,000 Annam Chinese were expected to arrive on the South American mainland by February 1883.

Liu Pu replied.

"The U.S. government is very active and proactive in repatriating Chinese workers, and in the Atlantic and Pacific coastal areas, there are not only local ocean-going fleets to transfer Chinese, but also domestic shipping companies in the United States, which accept the U.S. government's dispatch to undertake the task of transporting Chinese laborers free of charge."

Wang Youtian explained.

"It's not all free, although the U.S. shipping company does not levy shipping and transportation fees for Chinese, but the cost of ocean transportation is paid by the U.S. government."

Hu Yaqi shook his head and said in confusion: "The rapid development of domestic industry in the United States requires a large number of laborers to undertake infrastructure construction tasks, and Chinese workers can endure hardships and have low wage requirements, so just because of the so-called racial differences, they will give up the low cost advantage and prefer to hire native whites at a price twice as high as that of Chinese workers?" ”

"It's not just the economic aspect."

Li Mingyuan checked the population growth data of the United States in recent years and found that due to the continuous turmoil in South American countries, the population of the United States has increased by nearly 3 million compared with the same period in history.

An additional 3 million immigrants need jobs to support their families, so it is more beneficial to use hard-working, hard-working Chinese as scapegoats to the United States, and then use the jobs left behind by Chinese workers to resettle white immigrants than simply considering the low cost of Chinese workers.

Li Mingyuan explained to everyone the reasons for the change in the attitude of the U.S. government towards Chinese workers due to the doubling of the number of immigrants in the United States.

He continued: "The so-called inferiority of the Chinese is just an excuse that the U.S. government has found at random to implement the Chinese Exclusion Act.

South America is vigorously increasing the number of immigrants and population, and the U.S. government is also accepting a large number of white immigrants.

In order to make room for white immigrants to work and live, the U.S. government can deport and persecute the Chinese without any scruples, and the reason why the U.S. government dares to act like this is nothing more than the decay and decline of the Qing court, which is about to collapse, and the strength of the local government is still weak, and it cannot be compared with the United States in terms of population and national industrial strength.

If the country is backward and weak, the people will be bullied and persecuted by other countries abroad.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Americans have taught the local government an intuitive "education lesson", and all the people of the Han Kingdom must firmly remember the humiliation that the Americans have given to the Chinese nation, and never forget it! ”

"The king humiliates the ministers to death, the country and the nation are humiliated, and those who are courtiers can only endure the humiliation and bear the burden to repay today's shame!"

Liu Pu and Wang Youtian said in unison.

The local government should not only lodge a solemn protest against the US government, but also use actual scientific and technological achievements to show that the Chinese are not inferior to others, and that the Chinese nation can also develop world-leading industrial achievements.

The longer he lived in this era, the more Li Mingyuan felt how seriously the "Chinese Exclusion Act" hit the national self-esteem and national self-confidence of the entire Chinese ethnic group, so in order to boost the spirit of the Chinese, Li Mingyuan decided to change the strategy of blindly low-key development in the field of science and technology.

"Inform the Chang'an Electric Power Company that the day after tomorrow I will personally inspect the Primero River Hydropower Station, and at that time, the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Rites and the Electric Power Department of the Ministry of Industry will each send competent officials, so that the Western powers, especially the Americans, must know that the world's first practical hydroelectric power station is the Primero Hydropower Station in the Han Kingdom!

Han is no worse than white Americans in the field of emerging technology! ”

In November of the same year, the Meilipuro Hydropower Station and the Meilipuro Dam construction project started simultaneously, in March 1882, the overall construction project of the hydropower station was completed and completed, and the following month, three medium-sized generators of the improved rotary magnetic field type and capable of providing 30kw of electricity were transported to the hydropower station for installation and commissioning, on April 21, 1882,

Chang'an City, which is silent and dark at night, receives the light brought by electricity for the first time.

In fact, according to the technical reserves of the Han Dynasty in electric power, as early as 1880, the Han Academy of Sciences had the technical ability to transmit electricity to Chang'an City, but considering the direction of future power development, Li Mingyuan rejected the suggestions of local and hired foreign researchers, and insisted on delaying the operation of the Chang'an Primero Hydropower Station until 1882.

Li Mingyuan didn't care about the name of the so-called world's first practical hydropower station, but in the current situation, it has become very necessary to vigorously publicize the development and progress of Han in the emerging power field.

"Your Majesty, the number of tungsten incandescent lamps produced by the Academy of Sciences is more than two thousand, are they installed in the main street of Chang'an City with the help of the electricity provided by Chang'an Electric Power Company?"

"The vacuum of incandescent lamps and the smelting of tungsten filament have been solved?"

"The Academy of Sciences adopts the method of filling the inside of the bulb with nitrogen and smelting tungsten metal by electrolysis, which basically solves the problem of vacuum of incandescent lamps and the cost of tungsten metal smelting, and the cost of making an incandescent lamp is shortened from 10.7 Han Yuan to 5.2 Han Yuan, and it is initially possible to install it on the main street of Chang'an City."

The cost of making light bulbs and the cost of electricity are the two major problems that limit the widespread use of incandescent lamps, and the electricity cost of 6.2 Han Yuan per lamp and 2.4 Han Yuan per month is still unacceptable to ordinary people, so the current tungsten incandescent lamps can only be used in the main urban area of Chang'an, Beijing.

"For the time being, 600 incandescent lamps will be installed in six streets in the main urban area of Chang'an, and the power company will deliver electricity regularly from 6 p.m. every evening."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Minister General of the Ministry of Industry took note of Li Mingyuan's order and asked carefully, "Is the V-shaped double-steel gasoline engine developed by Mr. Daimler also announced?" ”

"No, the gasoline internal combustion engine does not have the ability to be widely practical, in the next five years, the local research on the gasoline internal combustion engine, based on technical reserves, the implementation of the public commercial generation, the technical reserve generation, the research and development generation of the three generations of technology replacement system, to put it bluntly, is to put the internal combustion engine technology with the same or slightly better than the scientific and technological performance of the Western powers into the commercial field of production, will be ahead of the commercial field, and the basic grasp of the internal combustion engine technology storage and confidentiality, will far exceed the current technical level, It does not yet have the internal combustion engine engine technology that has been put into market production, and it is included in the list of key research and development, and the main scientific research personnel are concentrated in research and development. ”

For example, in the field of internal combustion engines, when the internal combustion engine project was initially established, the research and development direction of the gas-fired internal combustion engine was vetoed, so that the relevant scientific researchers of the Academy of Sciences could focus on the gasoline-based internal combustion engine from beginning to end.

"The overall level of local scientific research is still far behind that of Western countries, and the commercial use of electric light and hydropower station projects cannot hide from the eyes of Western countries, and it is okay to make it public, but research and development projects related to the core interests of the country, such as internal combustion engines, submarines, and airships, must not leak the slightest information!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

More than a dozen officials sitting on palace chairs stood up and said seriously.

"The United States, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany are all conducting research on the technical performance of submarines, and although the American Holland has refused the invitation of the local government, I have also made many suggestions to the research and development personnel of the Academy of Sciences in terms of the main strategic use of underwater submarines, including the application of periscopes on submarines. The local scientific research and technology of the Han Kingdom cannot be overly dependent on Westerners, and without Holan, the Han Kingdom will also develop a super-first-class underwater submarine!

Minister Liu, I have issued an order to the Admiralty that there is no need to rush the project of developing submarines, and I can wait for ten or twenty years, but if the submarine project has not broken through the technical difficulties of offshore combat before 1900, I will hold them accountable for their dereliction of duty! ”

"The minister will convey His Majesty's orders to the Admiralty word for word." …………
