A proclamation issued by T'in Tsz General for the
Chinese cause, in the Canton province of the Shun T'in Kingdom
of the Ming Dynasty. In the matter of pacifying the people.
Whereas, I the General, seeing with my own eyes that
+
the Manchu rule is cruel, and that under it extortion is prac-
tised. Every day it becomes worse. Every piece of silk and every
thread belonging to us Chinese has to pay heavy taxes as well as
likin; while they the Manchus have, as usual plenty to eat, and
plenty to clothe themselves with, although they neither till nor
weave. Though the Manchus are a most foolish race and of a low
class, yet still they occupy a high position. Though the Chinese
are of exceptional ability and are fine scholars, still they are
kept down to low positions in office. In every way are they
oppressed. If this can be borne, what else cannot we bear. I,
the General, cry out because I do not feel that it is just, I
therefore call together all of the same mind, and raise up the
flag of justice, to uphold the Chinese. I will alike protect
and make secure all merchants, missionaries, and other residents
of different nationalities. Wherever the Arny goes, the people
will not in the least be troubled, and transactions in buying
and selling will be just. A strict prohibition will be placed
upon immorality. The soldiers will not be allowed to kill in-
discriminately. All you people of the various tithings and
villages, if you respect and are obedient to me, the General,
I will certainly reward you handsomely. And if you will only
look after your own affairs, I, the General, also will never
trouble you without reason. If you do not clearly understand
the difference between obedience and disobedience, and rashly
think of offering resistance, then the evil will be on your
