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
