Section 428 The Jewish Question
Coincidentally, Sara is a Jewish family in Wushi, but her family is widely active in China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The infiltration of Tsarist Russia into Northeast China, coupled with the construction of the Eastern Qing Railway, provided a broad platform for Siberian Jews to act in the name of Russians in China, without being restricted and enjoying the treatment of foreigners, so that they were like fish in water.
Sarah's family was a fur merchant, and his brother Leo Goshenvic had been in China long before the Eight-Nation Alliance, dealing in furs in Tianjin, buying furs from northwest and north China, processing them in Tianjin, and then exporting them to Europe and the United States. The business became bigger and bigger, and it also brought other Jewish families to operate here, and in more than ten years, the Jewish fur companies in Tianjin grew to more than 100, and the Gershenvic family, as the leader, naturally became the Jewish leaders in Tianjin.
The reason why Sara went to school in Tianjin was because the Jews in Tianjin had opened a Jewish school in the concession, and their family had a very large business in Tianjin, and they could enjoy the treatment of high-class people by making friends with local officials and wealthy Chinese businessmen.
It is logical to arrange the Jin sisters in the Sara family in Wushi, and they say to the outside world that they are the daughters of business partners who come to play in Siberia.
Everything has stopped, and it has been fifteen.
After that, Yang Chao always looked for an opportunity to go to Wushi, and when he went, he met with local businessmen with great fanfare and discussed the construction of East Siberia with local officials, but he did not go to Chita at all, so that the local officials in Chita thought that Yang Chao wanted to move the capital of China's newly established East Siberian Province to Wushi.
In private, of course, it is a tryst with the Jin family sisters, because the Jin sisters live in Sara's house, so Yang Chao is also familiar with Sara's family, Sara has three sisters and an elder brother, plus more than ten sisters and brothers-in-law and their children, and the family often moves together.
Fortunately, the mansion of the Sara family is big enough, the appearance looks ordinary, the three-story brick and stone building, there are few carvings and other decorations, but the interior decoration is still very stance, everything is close to the aristocracy, all kinds of artworks, sculptures, porcelain vases, paintings, etc.
As a well-developed Jewish family in China, they understand China's political culture too well, and know that even if Yang Chao is not in his position, when he wants to seek government, it is also easy, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yang Chao's influence on China is far greater than the influence of any king in the West on the country.
And Wushi is different from Yishi, this is a territory that belongs to China, and they are equivalent to receiving one of the rulers of China, so they are naturally more enthusiastic.
Yang Chao was a little unhappy, he came to have a tryst with his lover, the other party was so fanfare, which made him very embarrassed, the Jews are very discerning, and they do business, they rely on their eyesight to eat, so they quickly saw it, and after seeing it, they acted quickly, in the name of going to the south for a vacation, the whole family moved to Tianjin, leaving Sara alone, with a group of Buryat maids to take care of the Jin sisters.
Yang Chao felt a little more relaxed at this time.
But as he got to know the Jews, Yang Chao couldn't help but become worried.
The earliest Jews lived in the Middle East at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, that is, in the area of Israel, and after being destroyed by the Romans, because of repeated resistance, they were forcibly dispersed and exiled to various provinces of the Roman Empire by the Roman Empire, and most of them went into exile in Europe.
After the Roman Empire accepted Christianity, the Jews who favored Judaism became an outlier, and after the European barbarians destroyed Rome and founded their own state, they began to reject the Jews, and when the Jews were needed to revitalize commerce, the European aristocratic rulers could invite the Jews to settle down.
Germany was the first to issue charters to Jews, and the practice quickly spread throughout Europe. For example, the pragmatist English rulers and aristocrats issued charters to protect their rights in order to obtain their huge economic benefits, but the charters were not laws, but only powers granted by the king.
Under the king's authority, Jews could concentrate in the city and run businesses. But when the Jews were too fat, the king wanted to deprive the Jews of their wealth, and he would expel or even slaughter the Jews, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Jews slaughtered by the armies of the kings of Europe far exceeded the Jews slaughtered by Adolf.
But in general, in the Middle Ages, the nobility and the king were the only recourse for the Jews, and they relied on charters to establish Chinatown-like Jewish communities in the cities ruled by the nobles and kings, living a nearly autonomous life, mainly engaged in commercial activities.
However, with the development of the Europeans' own commerce, their merchant class rose to form merchant guilds to compete with the Jews, and as natives had political rights, they began to fight against the Jews through this right. Many countries even began to restrict Jews from engaging in commerce, forcing Jews to enter usury businesses that were not allowed by Christians, thus establishing a Jewish advantage in the financial field.
However, with the development of the Jewish banking industry, many European feudal lords and kings who were keen on war owed huge debts to the Jews, and the Jews were offended by their only reliance, the feudal rulers, so another wave of large-scale anti-Jewish expulsion began, and at the end of the 15th century, the Jews were almost expelled from the entire Western European region, and only a small part of Germany and Italy retained the Jewish settlements.
With the advent of civilization and the improvement of the law, England was the first to relax the persecution of Jews, and from the 16th century, Jews began to obtain English citizenship and enjoy all rights except to participate in political power. This is also why the Rothschild family began to move to London after it became prosperous, not only because London is a financial center, but also related to where they live more freely, you must know that when Rothschild was calling for wind and rain in the UK, they still did not have the right to buy real estate in continental Europe, and when they negotiated business with American bankers like the Morgan family in Europe, they were always in hotels, but they were arrogant and directly rented a hotel to live in for a long time.
Later generations described Jews as exaggerated, but in fact, this is a people who have been forced to live by commerce for many years, accumulated extremely rich business knowledge, and in the process of suffering, they have cultivated a tradition of valuing family values, which is very similar to the Chinese.
Yang Chao is of course sympathetic to the Jews, after all, this is also an ancient people like the Chinese, many living habits are very close, such as family values, like to live in groups, etc., perhaps proving that they were once also a farming people, but unfortunately they were banned from farming.
However, their 2,000-year-old tradition of commerce and finance has made the Jews have too much advantage in these two fields, and it has threatened the interests of Chinese businessmen, and this is not simply a matter of feelings, but a matter of interests, and interests are the core of politics, and politics is not emotional.
Therefore, the more than 20,000 Jews living in the Chinese territory of Eastern Siberia have become a difficult problem that Yang Chao has to pay attention to.
Simple expulsion or even massacre, that is not Yang Chao's style, Yang Chao is a person who insists that garbage is useful, not to mention the Jews, a nation that has been persecuted for thousands of years and has not disappeared.
The most valuable thing for Jews is that they have a commercial and economic network all over the world, through which China can export many things, such as economic benefits, such as cultural traditions.
However, the Jews must not be allowed to dominate China, and Yang Chao must not allow a foreign race to gain any dominance on Chinese soil, because China is a country with a Juche nation, and it is absolutely impossible for the government to support the Jews against its own financiers, just because the capitalists threaten political power, as the Americans do.
Therefore, Yang Chao did not prohibit the Jews from doing business in China, let alone expel them directly, but he had to guide them to leave on their own, so there was only one choice.
Let the Jews build a state.
The Jews also want to establish a state, but the establishment of a state is a complicated process, first of all, you have to have a land that is enough to live on, and this is difficult to satisfy, when the great powers are competing for hegemony and dividing the land in the world, no one will allow the Jews to divide a piece of land.
So when British Foreign Secretary Balfour agreed to the Jews moving to Palestine to establish the Jewish National House, even a giant like Rothschild rejoiced.
But the British obviously did not mean to encourage the Jews to establish an uncontrolled state, at most to allow the Jews to establish an autonomous region in British-controlled Palestine, when the Jews' state-building tendencies were not controlled, the British began to restrict, so the later generations of Jews were shouting slogans to bring down the British colonialists.
The Jewish Zionist movement, marked by the Zionist congress held in Basel, Switzerland, in August 1897 and adopted the platform of establishing a "Jewish House" in Palestine. The Balfour Declaration encouraged the Jews, and a large number of Jews began to emigrate to the Palestinian areas, eventually having a population of hundreds of thousands after World War II, and finally establishing a state with the support of two superpowers, Soviet Russia and American imperialism.
However, the emergence of the Jews began to clash with the Arabs, plunging the Middle East into a long-term turmoil.
Yang Chao supports this plan, because turmoil is the time to show the role of world hegemon, but Yang Chao does not want to be infamous and make a nation with huge oil resources angry, which is not a good thing, and the reason why US imperialism has been terrorized again and again is not because of this reason.
So Yang Chao intends to make another proposal to establish a special state in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
