What adverse effects did warlord rule have on China at that time?

The bad influence of warlord rule on China at that time;

(1) Borrowing domestic debt: According to statistics, from 19 12 to 1926, the Beijing Municipal Government * * * issued 28 kinds of government bonds, with a total issuance amount of 876,792,228 yuan, and the actual issuance amount reached 6/kloc-0. )。 These are all borrowed official debts that can't be repaid.

(2) exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees: there are dozens of names, which are hard to count and increase year by year. According to statistics, from 65438 to 0924, there are as many as 26 kinds of salt tax surcharges in Sichuan. After 19 14, the license tax and stamp duty of tobacco and alcohol were established in Hebei province (note: China Modern Agricultural History Data Series II, Sanlian Bookstore, 1957, pages 58 1 and 586). )。

(3) Spamming banknotes: Zhang distributed banknotes in three northeastern provinces and Zhili. Wu's official tickets, treasury vouchers and munitions exchange vouchers stamped in Hubei (Note: China Modern Agricultural History Materials, 2nd Series, Sanlian Bookstore, 1957 edition, p. 592. ); In Henan, 4 million prize-winning treasury bills were issued and distributed to counties, forcing people to buy them. (Note: China Modern Agricultural History Data, Series II, Sanlian Bookstore, 1957, p. 588. ) The consequence is that the currency depreciates, bills are like waste paper, prices soar and people's lives are hard.

(4) Opium cultivation and trafficking: Forcibly taxing the cultivation of cigarettes is a sinister means commonly used by warlords. In Meixian, Baoji and western counties of Shaanxi, opium tax is levied on all farmers, regardless of whether they grow or not. In Xiangyin, Shimen and other counties in Hunan Province, for those who do not obey the tobacco planting orders, "in addition to punishing foreign countries, some people have actually been sentenced to death" (Note: China Modern Agricultural History Data Series II, Sanlian Bookstore, 1957 Edition, pp. 623 and 625. )。 This income is quite huge. Such as 1924, the opium tax per mu in Gansu ranged from 8 yuan to 15 yuan (Note: The Second Series of Modern Agricultural History of China, Joint Publishing Company, 1957, p. 628. )。 The tobacco tax in Shaanxi is three to four times higher than the land tax. When Liu Zhenhua was in charge of Shaanxi, although he only governed more than a dozen counties, the annual tobacco tax revenue reached more than 1.5 million yuan (note: all aspects of Wuling in Shaanxi Province during the Anti-Japanese War, a national guide, 1.45, 1.926, 1.00). )。 What is particularly vicious is that they also use armed forces to traffic opium, which not only makes huge profits, but also transports poisonous drugs to various places and harms lives.

Others such as land tax pre-levy, soldier difference discount levy, temporary levy, old age reward and so on. , all from the times. The people are desperate and complain a lot.

Judging from the above six characteristics, Beiyang Warlords Group is undoubtedly a reactionary political and military group. In the historical process of 16 before and after the Revolution of 1911, he mainly played a clown who was reviled on the historical stage; But in these 32 years, we should still make due contributions to some objective functions that have been played.
