Ziyang fengshui
However, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, ministers who had not been reused suddenly appeared and occupied the position of important ministers in the imperial court, such as Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo and Zhang Zhidong. Four ministers of ZTE in the late Qing Dynasty? .
The reason for this situation is that the pampered Manchu aristocrats gradually declined.
Of course, it can't be said that the royal family and nobles in the Qing Dynasty were all ignorant and useless. There were also representatives in the late Qing Dynasty, such as Duan Fang.
At that time, Zheng once commented: Cen Chunxuan learned nothing, Yuan Shikai learned nothing, Zhang Zhidong learned nothing, Duan Fang learned nothing. ?
It can be seen that Duan Fang is indeed a leader among the nobles in the Qing Dynasty.
Although Duanfang was born in the Qing Dynasty, his family always advocated reading. His father He Jiong was also a teacher of the emperor, so he was born in a scholarly family and studied hard since he was a child. In the eighth year of Guangxu, he was awarded a prize.
Supposedly, in the Qing Dynasty, winning the jury made you a magistrate. But because the ending is? One of our own? Therefore, he was not only reused by Cixi and Guangxu, but also valued by Regent Zai Feng during Xuantong's reign, and was the mainstay of the late Qing Dynasty.
However, Duan's political career started late. First, because he supported the Reform Movement of 1898, and because he was closely related to the reformists such as Kang Youwei, he was reused by Guangxu and was appointed as the supervisor of the General Administration of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce.
This institution aims to promote the prosperity of agriculture and commerce, and it is a new institution that Guangxu attaches great importance to.
However, the new organization has no reference, and everything has to cross the river by feeling the stones, such as personnel arrangement and office space, which need to be implemented step by step.
Fortunately, Duan Fang is a man who can handle affairs. After he took office, it took him only 10 days to rent an office and start working. Moreover, after taking office, new problems are constantly discovered, so that they are 30% off a day, and some bigwigs are deeply charged with reform.
An activist like Duan Fang should be convicted of a felony. However, at this critical moment, Duan Fang presented the Song of Persuasion for Good, mostly praising the merits of Cixi.
Cixi was very happy after reading it, and only gave him a little punishment, but at the same time gave him three hats.
Of course, due to the cancellation of the General Administration of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, Duan Fang's official position will be gone.
Soon, Duan Fang was once again used by the court and was appointed as Shaanxi provincial judge, minister and acting governor of Shaanxi.
Although this position is not as good as that of the governor, it is also a second-class official title with considerable power. It not only carries the orders of the imperial court and local government, but also has the final decision in taxation, fiscal revenue and expenditure, land and property, official assessment and so on, so it can be regarded as a government official.
Shortly after Duan Fang came to power, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, and Cixi was frightened to disgrace and fled to xi 'an.
Xi' an is the border of the last days, and the last days dare not neglect after learning the news. Not only will the accommodation be arranged properly, but in order to get Cixi used to living, Wanshou Palace was built according to the architectural decoration of the Forbidden City as a place for Cixi to work and sleep.
Cixi, who is taken good care of, is still in xi 'an's palace. All this was due to the great efforts of the local government, so Cixi appreciated him very much and promoted him as governor of Hubei after his funeral.
Just in any year, he was promoted to acting governor of Huguang.
Duan Fang has always believed that in order to govern the country, it is necessary to start with education. Therefore, when he was in office, he vigorously promoted education, not only built many schools, but also encouraged people with excellent grades to study abroad.
From 65438 to 0905, the Qing Dynasty decided to establish a constitutional monarchy in the course of history.
Li Duan, who has always been the leader of the New Deal, was appointed by Cixi as one of the five ministers who went abroad to study constitutionalism, and went to the Western Ocean with Zaize, Dai Hongci and others.
After traveling to the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Denmark, Russia and other ten countries, Duan Fang wrote down what he saw and thought, and presented it to Cixi after returning home, imploring Cixi to establish a constitution as soon as possible.
Cixi once asked Duan Fang, what are the benefits of constitutionalism?
Duan knew that Cixi was only worried about power, so she replied that the throne could be hereditary.
This is a kind of comfort to Cixi.
1908, Guangxu and Cixi died one after another.
According to the last imperial edict of Cixi, Puyi, 3, became emperor. Because he was unable to handle government affairs, his father, Zai Feng, the prince of alcohol, was appointed as the Regent, representing the state affairs.
But Yuan Shikai, a senior North Korean official, should not be underestimated. As the minister of military affairs, he not only controls the military and political power, but also has many cronies in North Korea.
In addition, Yuan Shikai could not escape the suspicion of Guangxu's death, so Zai Feng had to get rid of him both in public and in private. But blocked by Zhang Zhidong and others, Zai Feng can only use? Foot disease? The reason is to remove him from his post and let him retire to his hometown.
Subsequently, Zai Feng will be an official for many years, and the effective Duan Fang will be promoted to the governor of Zhili. Does this mean that Duan Fang may become the second one? Li Hongzhang? And people are just around the corner.
However, less than a year later, Duan Fang was impeached and removed from office again.
It turned out that during the funeral of Cixi, Duan thought that the funeral process should be photographed and archived.
Who knows, someone took the opportunity to impeach him? Disrespect? Sin among sins.
In addition, in the process of taking pictures, Yulong was disturbed, so Yulong insisted on severe punishment.
And around the queen mother, it is Zhang Dede who is at odds with Duan Fang. Zhang Dede took the opportunity to collude with Li Guojie, the grandson of Li Hongzhang. Damaging geomantic omen, destroying spiritual paths, stealing photos, and deliberately desecrating? For various reasons, I intend to kill the end party.
Fortunately, Zai Feng was weak, and Duan Fang was brilliant, so in the end, only by removing Duan Fang's position was the storm solved.
Supposedly, Duan Fang's family background is good, his family wealth is rich, and there are countless fields and properties. He can be a happy and rich person without being an official. However, Duan Fang was unwilling to quit politics and ran around, and finally got a chance to reuse it and was appointed as the minister in charge of the Sichuan-Shaanxi-Guangdong-Han Railway.
At that time, the imperial court nationalized all the railways and signed construction rights with Britain and the United States.
However, the Sichuan-Han Railway was built with social financing, and many people in Sichuan have their shares. The imperial plan is tantamount to denying the shares in the hands of the Sichuan people, so as soon as the policy came out, a huge scale happened in Sichuan? Road protection movement? .
So, under the appointment of the imperial court, Duan Fang led the Hubei New Army into Sichuan to be responsible for putting down the rebellion.
Just when Duan Fang went to Ziyang, Sichuan, the revolutionary army in Hubei had launched the Wuchang Uprising, and all parts of the country responded and declared independence respectively.
In this situation, resolutely occupy the imperial court to recover the end of the railway and have to change the original idea of repression.
As early as shortly after he left Hubei, he went to the imperial court and said that if the railway construction project was handed over to foreigners, it would be blocked by China people, so he set up a powerful China contractor.
Of course, for the Qing court who wanted to nationalize the railway, it was tantamount to singing the devil's advocate, so it was rejected.
Since then, on his way to Sichuan, he turned repression into appeasement, and constantly sent people to issue notices first, saying that only those who took the lead in making trouble would be punished, and others would disperse on their own.
Not only that, but also a notice was issued, saying that all Sichuanese who hold shares will recognize them if they want to hold them, and they will exchange them for cash if they want to, and they are allowed to do so without any loss.
However, Duan Fang's actions did not melt the armed uprising of the Sichuan people, so after he arrived in Ziyang, he heard that Chengdu had been occupied by the gentry and the people of the railway protection movement and had been hesitant about how to advance and retreat.
Therefore, the Revolutionary Party took the opportunity to secretly contact Liu Yifeng, a new army officer, to plan a mutiny.
Duan Fang and his brother Jin Kang were sitting in a chair when Liu Yifeng killed him. He thinks he comforted the new army along the way, especially Liu Yifeng and other generals, and he is even more grateful to him.
But why do these people kill people?
Duan Fang was puzzled and asked.
Liu Yifeng said that ending the party was good for them, but it was only a private favor. Before the country hated it, personal kindness could only be put aside.
Say that finish, soldiers around Liu Yifeng killed Duan Fang.
Poor, open-minded and capable Duan Fang finally became a ghost under the knife of revolutionaries.
