Yuan Chang (1846-1900), formerly known as Zhenchan, was born in Tonglu, Zhejiang. Read from Liu Xizai, Broadcom is in charge. In the third year of Guangxu (1877), he was awarded the head of the household department, and served as the prime minister of national affairs. On October 25, 1879, Weng Tongyi wrote in his diary: "Qian Zhu came to have a long talk first, and then went to the city today. In the eleventh year (1885), he went to Tianjin with Shangshu Xizhen and others to participate in the negotiation of the Sino-French "Tianjin Treaty". In the eighteenth year (1892), he served as a member of Huining Chi Taiguang Road, a subordinate of the bureaucracy, a suppression of officials, a number of revolutionaries, the expansion of Zhongjiang Academy, the study of practical learning, the construction of the Zun Jing Pavilion, and the purchase of tens of thousands of books. It cost 18,000 gold to pay back to the public. Set a special article, accept the new Guangu rice export tax, and envy hundreds of thousands. Supervise the repair of the southwest riverside polder embankment in Wuhu, from Daguanting to Lugang, stretch for 12 miles, and build a new embankment of 370 zhang, since it is a reservoir of resources, the field is solid, and the folk song is recited. In the twenty-fourth year (1898), he was promoted to Shaanxi as an envoy, but did not go to his post, and was promoted to Jiangningbu political envoy, and wrote to the Qing court, putting forward suggestions on military training, financial management, mining, foreign affairs, reforming the official system, and building schools, which attracted the attention of Emperor Guangxu. He was also transferred to the political envoy of the subordinate department. He also served as Prime Minister and Minister of Yamen.
Japan deliberately provoked the First Sino-Japanese War, China suffered a crushing defeat, and was forced to sign the humiliating "Treaty of Shimonoseki" with Japan, the whole country was excited, so the Guangxu Emperor used Kang Youwei and so on, changed the law to try to be strong, a series of new policies angered the Empress Dowager Cixi, Xu Tong, Gangyi and other conservatives, the Empress Dowager Cixi re-disciplined the government, and the Guangxu Emperor Yu Yingtai, the law reform failed. On December 25, 1899, the right attendant of the former Ministry of Officials, Lang Jingshan, recorded in his diary that the details of Cixi's summoning of the ministers mentioned by the Auxiliary State Gong Zailan, Cixi said that Emperor Guangxu had failed to live up to his kindness, and that "the change of the Kang Party was the master of the emperor's decision, and the harm was given in one fell swoop, and it was approved by the superiors." It is now decided, and it will be abolished immediately, and another person will be appointed as the son of Mu Zong, and the heir of the emperor on New Year's Day should ascend to the pole." After the abolition, how should Emperor Guangxu be disposed of?No one dared to play, and there was silence for a long time. Xu Tong, a scholar, said: It seems that the queen mother should be invited to reward the emperor with the name of the Duke of Mixed Virtue, which was given by the Yuan Dynasty to the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Cixi was quite rewarded. The scholar Sun Jianai disagreed, and Cixi said that the Han people had no right to intervene. He had already told Emperor Guangxu about this intention, but Emperor Guangxu did not dare to disobey his order. Emperor Guangxu, who was present, was quite at a loss and resentful.
The Empress Dowager Cixi was anxious to abolish Emperor Guangxu, and Xu Tong, Gangyi, Chongqi and other strong supports, so Pu Jun, the son of King Zaiyi, was the eldest brother, and Chongqi was sent to teach the master, and Xu Tong Changchuan took care of it. Zai Yi is Cixi's niece and son-in-law, and Pu Jun has Nala blood. Xu Tong and Chongqi are "beneficial relatives". The Empress Dowager Cixi and other abolition actions were dissatisfied by many foreign countries, and the Empress Dowager Cixi used the Boxer Rebellion to confront foreign countries. In April of the twenty-sixth year (1900), the Boxers defeated the Yizhou official army and killed the deputy general Yang Futong. Destroyed the houses of the parishioners of Bazhou, and killed nine parishioners. Destroy the Liuli River and the Changxindian Railway. Zai Yi and Gang Yi instructed the burning of railways and electric wires, and Xu Jingcheng, the minister of supervision, asked for funds to repair the railway, but Zai Yi and Gang Yi denounced it as a lot of trouble. Xu Jingcheng also asked Yixuan and Ronglu to send troops to protect the railway. Yixuan (1836-1918), Aixinjue Luo, Prince Fengqing, served as the Prime Minister and Minister of National Affairs. Rong Lu (1836-1903), known as Zhonghua, Guarjia, was a native of the White Banner of Manchuria. He successively served as the director, the squire, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the general of Xi'an, the commander of the infantry army, the secretary of the military department, the prime minister, the minister of national affairs, the co-organizer of the university, the governor of Zhili, the minister of Beiyang, and the minister of military aircraft, and controlled the Beiyang sea and land armies. On the 15th, the secretary of the Japanese embassy, Sugiyama Bin, went out of Yongding Gate, Dong Fuxiang sent troops to kill him, dissected his body, caressed Dong's back, and stretched out his thumb to praise him: "You are really a good man, the great handsomes can do their best to be brave, and the foreigners are not enough!"Dong Daxi, Yi boasted Dong Fuxiang (1840-1908), the fifth character of Xingwu, was a native of Guyuan, Gansu (now Ningxia). He participated in the Hui uprising, and later surrendered to the Hunan army, conquered Qinghai and Xinjiang, and became the governor of Gansu. On this day, the coalition forces engaged the Boxers and arrived in Langfang. On the 18th, Yuan Chang, Xu Jingcheng and Rong Lu held a first-aid situation, first clearing the city bandits, and then trying to get foreign bandits.
Zai Yi and others forged a note from ministers from various countries asking the Empress Dowager to return to power, the content of which is:
1. Order the Queen Mother to return to power;
2. Designate a place where the Emperor of China should reside;
3. Collect money and grain from various provinces;Fourth, take charge of the military power of the world.
Three drums in the night, Luo Jiajie of Jiangsu Grain Road sent his son to detain Ronglu Gate, Yun has confidential matters urgent, seen, this note is submitted, Ronglu around the house, to dawn, that is, to hand over to Cixi, Cixi is sad and angry. Summoned scholars, six ministries, and nine Qing into the discussion, Cixi cried, and sent a note from Luo Jiajie to show the courtiers, looking at each other, not daring to take the lead, Xu Jingcheng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, said: "China has been with foreign countries for decades, and the enmity between the people and religions has no year, but it is only compensation." However, attacking and killing the envoys, there is no case at home and abroad, and now the embassy in Jiaomin Lane, the boxers and bandits are watching it every day, and they are not planning for the day, if they are measured, they don't know where the sect and the living beings are placed. Yuan Chang wrote in his diary: "Cisheng repeatedly told each other to express what he saw, and the minister Chang said that he should not be in a hurry to govern the chaotic people first, and show the envoys to report their hearts with the situation, and then they can negotiate to prevent the envoys from transferring foreign troops, and the methods must be ordered." Buddha (case: referring to Cixi) edict: Now that the people's hearts have changed (referring to the fist club), it is always the most important thing to obey the people's wishes, and you do not agree with each other. Minister's recital: The changer but the left way confuses the hearts of the fist bandits, in order to refute and stop, hunt and kill dozens of bandits, the rabble of the chaotic party, will be disbanded in the wind, I will run the chaos of the people, so as not to cause the people to transfer troops to do the charge d'affaires, under the coaxing hub, the overall situation is out of control. Buddha Buna. Retreat to the two residences (case: when referring to King Qing Yixuan, Duanwang Zaiyi), Rong Xiang, if the Fu Fist will join forces with Dong Jun (Xuan Wen Zhuang Di Yun: The Pivotal Court has done the film, and the secret order Duan Di and Dong Fuxiang to appease the boxers), even if they wash and suppress Dongjiaomin Lane, defeat the foreign soldiers (Wen Yang soldiers thousands and hundreds of people, build railways from Yang Village, and tend to Dong'an County), and then provoke the eleven countries, the public is angry and difficult to commit, and I am afraid of the overall situation. Qing (case: refers to Yixuan) looked depressed and had nothing to do. Rong Yunzhi, the clouds are not up to me. Duan (case: referring to Zaiyi) was very angry. Or blame me for being too excited, and the servants are sinking in misfortune and blessing, and they are not set aside for a long time, but they are just Zhang Zhai Er on March 18 of the year of Jiashen. On the same day, Xu Jingcheng and Na Tong were sent to the south of Majiabao to prevent foreign soldiers from entering the city (and sent a note to the Russian envoy). If they do not obey the order, they will immediately dispatch Dong Jun to block it, and if they do not obey the obstruction, they will fight a decisive battle."
On the 21st, Yuan Chang wrote: "When the right person was called, more than 20 people, including the kings, Baylor and Chongqi, wept bitterly and played the words, and the clouds were indispensable for war, and they all advocated the theory of Duandi. The soldiers are not in the hands of the ministers, and they can't be close to each other, and they can't be humble and respectful ......Xu Yongyi, Lishan, and Lianyuan were sent to various foreign envoys to block foreign soldiers. Jiang'e Governor Liu and Zhang (case: referring to Liu Kunyi, Governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Huguang) two public conjunctive words, please suppress evil bandits, do not misuse Fu, courtiers are more than one. Duandi and others were very stunned. It was ordered that Rong Lu quickly send a powerful team of the Wuwei Chinese Army to protect the embassies in the area of Dongjiaomin Lane on the same day. Hearing that the king of Duanjun and others are in charge of the battle situation, there is a saying that the secret is sent to attack the various forest tooth halls. The ministers did not fall out of harmony, why did they provoke themselves, they were in the summer, they did it with tricks, how could they convince people, and they really dreamed of slandering. And if the envoys stationed in each district are not victorious, even if they kill these people, the other people will not dare to retaliate"On this day, the coalition forces captured the Dagu Fort.
On the 22nd, the Qing court ordered Xu Tong, Chongqi, Yixuan, Zai Yi and others to discuss the military affairs of the Beijing Division. Yuan Chang wrote in his diary: "Bamboo and Qinxuan played their lives, and Qihua Gate was carved out on the 20th. On the 21st, I went to Fengtai, at the Huaerchang Tea House, Russia, forty or fifty boxers and bandits swarmed with their blades (Zhang 'Baoqing and Destroy the Foreign' banner), asking where to go, and promised to stop the foreign soldiers with orders. The regiment commander was angry, and Yan Er and the others must be eating and teaching, seducing foreign soldiers to beat us. With the second monarch to the boxing arena, he was forced to burn incense and kowtow in front of the ancestor of Hongshan. Regardless of the size of the bandit, the god of decision, burn a rune paper, and if the ashes fly, the two axioms are straight and can survive. If the paper is not dusty, then the song should be punished. Fortunately, he was spared. I didn't see the foreign soldiers and returned alone. This morning, he returned to his life, did not call up, and played on behalf of him with love. Yesterday, it was planned that the first aid was currently in a critical situation, that is, about Zhuyun this morning, as above. Renhe Gong (case: referring to Wang Wenshao, Minister of Military Aircraft) entered the right, quite criticized, thinking that it was not possible to provoke the waves, and to take a country as an eight-strong country, as a desperate bet, the survival of this sect is not only the number of victories and defeats, but also the dangerous road. It was difficult for the West Saint to hold too many war discussions, so he was dissuaded by the embassies of Renhe and Tateyama. In the evening of the day, the letter to the British and Russian envoys was changed, and it was stipulated that two o'clock tomorrow would go (the next day, with the intention of decisive battle, and it would be stopped), and the above (case: referring to Emperor Guangxu) sent an edict to the prime minister, saying that my soldiers should not be feared, and the matter was prudent, but fortunately, the military power was all in your hands. It seems that the sacred heart knows the score of the other, and it is not appropriate to provoke the waves, so it shows the glory with a hidden word, and there is a slight turnaround. It is true that foreigners are not of our race, but the chaotic people are so rampant, they are not autonomous, and they want to gather people from all walks of life to end up, and there has never been such a way in ancient and modern times. ”
On the 23rd, Yuan Chang wrote in his diary: "When I arrived at the office (case: referring to the Prime Minister's Yamen for National Affairs), I knew that the court was discussing a decisive battle this morning, and ordered the department to send a note to the ministers of various countries. said to the courtiers, but unfortunately tens of thousands of lives in the eighteen provinces will be ruined!The dynasty has been resting for a long time. On the 24th, Yuan Chang wrote: "A note was sent at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, and in the middle of the night, the ministers of the nine countries sent a note asking for a postponement and came to the office for a meeting. Qingdi's fate was postponed a little, and it was still accommodating, but now the bandits are crammed into the market, and the envoys are not allowed to come to the office. Morning onwards. The German envoy did not know about it, so he rashly came to the public opinion, and was killed by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Tiger God Battalion. From the beginning of the day, they attacked each other, and the guns were endless. On the day, I asked Xu Jingcheng, put his hand on his right hand, and said that tens of thousands of living beings in the world were devastated. Xu Yi seems to be suitable to protect the minister, so that he can survive under the flag, and the emperor agrees. The court was angry and allowed the gaffe. The opportunity of the decisive battle was ...... by Luo Liangdao Jiajie Shangluoyuan (case: referring to Ronglu).Touching the anger of the palace, Duandi, Xu Xiang, Gangxiang, Qixiu and others strongly advocated punishing outsiders, and several of them were decided. Yuan Weide collected the body into the coffin and was scolded as a traitor. On this day, Dong Fuxiang and the Boxers began to besiege the embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane and the Xishiku Church. Gangyi and Zhao Shuqiao sat in the city tower and had a fun fight, drinking and cheering, Ze Yi said: "The embassy is broken, and there is no seed!."There is no bottom, and it is peaceful. Zhao Shuqiao stood up and said: "Since Kang Youwei advocates chaos and rebellion, the people of happy events, Yunhe responds, and the public is fortunate to rise up and recklessly, and it is a little done." Sick and dead, and lost the heart of the world, not enough to inherit the temple, fortunately there are people, the work of decision-making, the public first. Today, the righteous people are all around, the same hatred from top to bottom, not the Queen Mother's Shengming, the public to serve the country, Xi to eliminate the government, and the renewal of the sea, but also to achieve today's effect. In the past, there were ministers of the society, and now they are seen by the public. Resolute and overjoyed: "Zhanru knows me!.""Zhao Shuqiao's entry into **, aided by fortitude.
On the 25th, Cixi summoned the ministers again, the tone of the words was extremely fierce, Yuan Chang, Xu Jingcheng, Lishan and others pleaded, not to declare war on the countries, because of the outnumbered, the strength of the foreign ocean, it is difficult to resist, because the people are not righteous people, can not be trusted, easy to provoke, civil strife is about to rise, the clan is difficult to protect. Peng Chang also tried to show that Chen was not trustworthy, and his ministers went to Dongjiaomin Lane, where they saw the corpses in disarray, and they were obviously killed by guns. The foreigners attach importance to faith and righteousness, and the envoys will not have the right to consult and return to the government, and the right to our internal affairs, although the foreigners are stupid, can only intervene with threatening words, which shows the hypocrisy of the note. Zai Yi reprimanded Yuan Chang and other remarks in front of him as a contradiction, and scolded them as traitors Cixi ordered Yuan Chang to retire immediately, and Emperor Guangxu felt so much that he held his hand and wept. Minister of Military Aircraft Qixiu took out the draft of the edict on the declaration of war that had been prepared for many days from his boots, and after Cixi read it, she was very happy and said that it was very good, which was exactly what she wanted. The edict drafted by Qixiu and others said: For 30 years, foreign countries have bullied our country, invaded our land, ravaged our people, extorted my money, oppressed the common people, and insulted the sacred. Ordered me to withdraw from the Dagu Fort, run rampant unreasonably, and make a break with myself, rather than trying to survive, shame for eternity, if I fight in a big way, I will fight for male and female!He is deceitful, I rely on heaven's reason, he relies on his strength, I rely on people's hearts, the land is vast in more than 20 provinces, and the people are more than 400 trillionEach of them has a heart of loyalty and righteousness, and they vent the anger of God and man.
On the 26th, the Qing court sent Prince Zhuang Zaixun to co-organize the Boxer Rebellion under the command of the university scholar Gangyi, and the left and right wing commanders Yingnian and Zailan handled it together. Zaixun and others presented a reward for the capture of a foreigner, and a foreigner was captured alive, and the male was rewarded with 50 taels of silver, the female was 40 taels, and the young were 30 taels. On the 27th, the eldest brother scolded Emperor Guangxu for being Ermaozi, and Emperor Guangxu reprimanded him, and the eldest brother punched Emperor Guangxu and Emperor Guangxu with boxing.
played Cixi, Cixi angrily scolded the eldest brother with twenty whips, and Zai Yi was deeply displeased. On the 29th, Zai Yi, Zai Xun, Zai Lian, Zai Ying and others led more than 60 volunteers to break into the interior, search for the people, scolded Emperor Guangxu as Ermaozi, Yi Yong quite had the intention of killing the king, Cixi was furious, and fined Zai Yi and others for one year, and more than 20 members of the group were corrected. On the 30th, the Qing court rewarded Dong Fuxiang's army and the Boxers. On the first day of June, Xu Tong and Rong Qi said: The foreign countries have been angry with the people, and it is urgent to obey the people's will to hoe the non-species, and the foreign countries are the first to provoke and seize our Dagu fort, which is nothing more than a plan to divide it. Please go through the provinces, see that there are foreigners in the territory, and listen to the people to be annihilated, so as to express their anger!The people rose up, set up ambushes, and refused to fight, but the foreigners did not dare to give up their ships and land on the shore. The Chinese people, believing in cults, relying on them as talismans, rebelling at will, and entrusting traitors, once they are caught, they are sent to the officials, and they are immediately informed and the law is corrected on the spot. If this is done, the land of China will be exhausted, the people's morale will be comfortable, and the outline will be clear.

Cixi asked Yizeng and Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and others to ask for the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion, and Li replied: "This Zhang Zhidong is famous for the ministers, and the ministers have nothing to do." He also went to great lengths to say that the southeast and the south were not mutually protecting, believing that not punishing the ministers of the first and second commanding forces of other provinces would not be enough to shake China's momentum, and outsiders would absolutely not be able to get rid of them. On the 27th, Yuan Chang and Xu Jingcheng jointly impeached the minister for believing in evil arts, misleading the country and harming the people, saying that the boxers and bandits caused chaos, and after more than a month, Shenjing was shaken, and the four seas responded, and the soldiers were connected with disasters, which involved the whole world. For the miracle of the ages, it will cause the miracle of the ages. There are those who are great people, who are wrongly regarded as righteous people, and refuse to be regarded as bandits, and are not especially hated by all nations, and laughed at by all nations. He took "helping the Qing Dynasty to extinguish the foreign" as the call, and the former Shandong Fuchen Yuxian raised the carbuncle first, and the governor of Zhili, Yululi, greeted the latter. The saying that the imperial court and other countries are trustworthy and harmonious, and that they are eager to destroy the foreign country is to provoke the side and take the world as a child's play. Zhang Decheng, Cao Futian, Han Yili, Wang Decheng, etc., are all troublemakers, and Yulu openly entered the performance, which is a step for recruitment. Xu Tong, a university scholar, is confused, ignorant of interests and disadvantages, and the Minister of Military Aircraft co-organized the University Scholar is resolute, more traitorous and banditic, and stubborn, and the Minister of Military Aircraft is still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Zhao Shuqiao, the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Minister of Military Aircraft, is cunning and works to meet him. Xu Tong, Gangyi, etc. dared to say that the queen mother and the emperor were in front of the face and reprimanded them as rebellious, but in fact, they misled themselves to mislead the country, and their rebelliousness was not in the ministers. Fortitude and Zhao Shuqiao went to Zhuozhou to disband the boxers, and finally believed in the magic with fortitude, Zhao Shuqiao did not dare to innovate, and only issued hundreds of notices, and reinstated his life with the disbandment of karma. Tianjin was trapped, foreign soldiers were pressing, Xu Tong, Gangyi and others talked and laughed freely, drunk and infatuated. Relatives and nobles, respect and teachers to protect the privy, most of them respect the boxers, gods and gods. The prince's mansion also has a boxing ring. The boxers are stupid, and they are foolish to Xu Tong, fortitude, etc., Xu Tong, fortitude, etc., and they are foolish princes. It is Xu Tong, Fortitude and others who are really the hubs of causing trouble. To this day, if you don't suppress the boxing bandits, you have no words to stop the foreign soldiers, and you don't punish the ministers of the bandits, it is not enough to suppress the boxing bandits, please treat Xu Tong, Gangyi, Qixiu, Zhao Shuqiao, Yulu, Yuxian, and Dong Fuxiang to re-enforce the rules. Then the ministers and others thanked Xu Tong, Fortitude, etc., although the ministers died, they should smile and fall to the ground. Throughout the article, he never dared to point out the names of Zaiyi and other relatives. After this secret fold was handed over, Cixi was furious.
On the third day of the seventh month, Cixi accepted Li Bingheng's suggestion and decided to kill Yuan Chang and Xu Jingcheng to set an example for the southeast to protect each other. Rong Lu argued slightly, Cixi smiled, Rong Lu did not get up, Cixi said: "If you dare to resist the decree?"The edict said: "Xu Jingcheng, the left attendant of the ministry, and Yuan of Taichang Temple."
Chang, repeatedly participated in the performance, bad reputation, weekdays to handle foreign affairs, each selfish, whenever summoned, arbitrarily played, nonsense and disorderly government, and many words are divisive, there are people who can't bear to speak, it is really disrespectful, if not strictly punished, how to purge the masses. Xu Jingcheng and Yuan Chang both wrote that they immediately practiced the Fa to show the precepts. Xu Tong said: "It's dead and guilty." Chongqi said: "The traitor can be punished, and there will be no liars in the future." "Xu Tong's son, Xu Chengyu, the waiter of the Criminal Department, was sentenced to prison, and he was happy. Yuan Chang smiled and said to Xu Chengyu: "Reluctantly, I will wait for the public to be underground!."On the eighth day of the first month, Yuan Shikai, the governor of Shandong, sent a telegram to Li Hongzhang, the governor of Liangguang: "Beijing Detective: Zhu Zhu and Shuang Qiu were beheaded on the third day, and Haicheng (case: referring to Li Bingheng) was very long.

"The coalition army entered Beijing, and Xu Tong hid from a certain prime minister in Ma Daren Hutong. His son Xu Chengyu said: "My father has been the boxer for a long time, and the foreign soldiers will not be compatible, if they are searched and arrested, the whole family will be inevitable, if my father can die, he will have a good name, and relieve the anger of all countries, and the family may be spared, but the children should still be with the ears."

However, they do not understand the international situation that has undergone tremendous changes, and in handling Sino-foreign relations, they do not understand that culture can be exchanged and make progress together, and they believe that learning from foreign advanced technology and advanced ideas is deviant and will lead to the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, and they must be resolutely resisted to the death. still insist on respecting the king and strictly defending the summer!At that time, it was called "Fuqing and Extinguishing the Ocean"!Foreign countries have invaded China for a long time, and foreigners in China are colluding with the people and plotting against them, and they should be killed. If the people believe in foreign religions, they have committed an unforgivable sin against Confucius and the Jade Emperor, and they should correct the law on the spot. The railway has destroyed the feng shui, ancestral tombs, and livelihoods of the Chinese, and should be demolished. It is the righteous people who are embarrassed by the people, and the righteous people are organized into regimental exercises, and they unite as one, set up ambushes to be surprising, and refuse to fight every day, so that foreigners do not dare to give up their boats and land on the shore. It turns the righteous patriotism against foreign aggression into absurd blind xenophobia. Yuan Chang and others have been engaged in diplomacy for a long time, and they have a better understanding of foreign countries, and they oppose the destruction of railways, the unprovoked killing of foreigners, the attack on embassies, and the declaration of war with foreign countries.
