Another Breakup
Again this unified China broke up
into three states. And thus developed
the war lord system which has so
badly bitten China and led to the
chaos of recent years.
The Pekin government actually
only nominally controlled the prov
inces. The governors were en-
powered to collect taxes for it, but
most of the taxes were kept by the
tax collectors and the governors.
The Pekin government handled
foreign relations for united again
in the third century A. ID. Warfare
was more or less continuous until
the founding of the Manchu dy-
nasty, however.
The Manchus subdivided China
into provinces and appointed gov
ernors to rule them. They devel-
oped no national Chinese army, but
each governor had his own. But
the provincial governors borrowed
money on their own hook and it
has all been charged up to Pekin,
so that today no one knows just
how much China owes the outside
world. although an estimate has
placed it at $3,5OO,O0O,0 900.
