Characters and deeds

Yuan Shuxun (1847-1915) was born in Xiangtan, Hunan Province. Word Haiguan, No. Yijie, late No. Yijie old man. In the 20th year of Guangxu, during the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, Liu Kunyi went to Shanhaiguan with him for military supplies. The next year, the prefect of Jiangxi, together with the French Archbishop in Shanghai, suppressed the people in Guixi and other counties against the invasion of the French church. He was transferred to be the magistrate of Tianjin. Guangxu 26 years, Hubei Jingyi Shi Road. Find the way to Shanghai. Later, he announced that rice was not allowed to be exported, and used the grain price to ease the soaring price of rice. In the 29th year of Guangxu, through the concession authorities, the "Su Bao case" was created, the "Su Bao" was banned, Zhang Binglin and Zou Rong were arrested, and the attempt to extradite failed. At the end of the year, he was ordered to declare Shanghai as a neutral zone, and sent a note to Japan and Russia stating that their warships could not berth, transport or fight at China's coastal ports along the Yangtze River. The following year, according to the requirements of the United States, Anhui Daily, which was printed in Shanghai, was banned. He proposed to the consul in Shanghai that some Russian soldiers killed by Zhou Sheng should be tried jointly by China and Russia. Suppress Shanghai's boycott of American goods. Shanghai gentry and merchants were informed to set up the general engineering bureau inside and outside the city of Shanghai for Trial Implementation of local autonomy. Later, he served as Jiangsu's envoy, shuntianfu Yin, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of civil affairs, governor of Shandong, and governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. In 1910, he resigned and settled in Shanghai. On October 20, 1908, Yuan Shuxun, then governor of Shandong, visited Qingdao. The main purpose of this trip to Qingdao is to secretly investigate the infringement of sovereignty by foreigners in the mainland of Shandong Province. According to the law, the owner of the house was not allowed to rent in the mainland. At present, it is required that the government of Yiye road and the Bureau of Westernization affairs take charge of their respective branches. If any outsider opens a shop or engages in private trade in a place where he does not do business, he shall immediately prohibit it according to the contract. If a priest purchases public property, he shall do so in accordance with the regulations. " "There are many dangers beyond the concessions of Weihai and jiaoao. In particular, local officials of civil and military forces should be strictly supervised, and the troops of barracks and forts should be led to guard them. Close reconnaissance should be carried out at any time, so that outsiders can't conduct private surveying and mapping, which is beneficial to coastal defense." He also said: "Yuancheng is also known as the section:" the mineral resources in the area of Juzhou are strongly wanted to be mined by outsiders. ". Since the contract of jiaoao concession and the renewal of five mining contracts in CHADONG Province, the mining sector has been very wide, and outsiders have explored areas separately This spring, because the Jinpu route was decided, the German people thought that they would be involved in the Jiaoyi route. Please go to Tai'an and other places for prospecting according to the seal, and then they were repeatedly blocked by the road and Mining Bureau. " Finally, it said: "all the provisions in the treaty and contract should be protected in accordance with the law; if they are not included in the treaty and contract, they also use words to interfere and encroach on interests, that is to say, they should try to refute them to show restrictions and protect sovereignty." In the diplomacy of the Qing Dynasty, it is rare to have such a tough attitude towards foreigners. In the essay of Lingxiao Yishi · yuan Shuxun's layoff and salary reduction storm, it is said: "since Shuxun arrived, in view of the floating official atmosphere in Shandong Province and the excessive spending, he first took the layoff and salary reduction as his business. There were many redundant staff in each department, and the salary of those who were appointed as the poor was limited. The Taoist was appointed as the general manager's office for 200 yuan per month, and the magistrate was appointed as the transfer officer for more than 100 yuan per month. In the sound of layoffs, the officialdom is shrouded in the air of terror. " According to records, Fu, the alternate inspector general of a school's miscellaneous department, was paid 30 yuan a month, only enough to support his family. After being laid off, his family had to take opium to commit suicide. There were so many examples like this that Yuan Shuxun complained in officialdom at that time. At the same time, his measures to limit salary could not be carried out in the end. For example, the monthly salary of the supervisor of Shandong University was 300 gold. At that time, the monthly salary of an alternate magistrate was 100 gold. Yuan Shuxun changed the salary of the supervisor of the university to 150 gold, which was based on academic affairs. Therefore, the monthly salary was set between the Taoist priest and the magistrate. Yuan Shuxun's move is reasonable, but it can't resist the relationship and accommodation. Local celebrities are different in the new deal, and they often get two or three hundred dollars a month. They don't pay attention to Yuan Shuxun's salary restriction. In addition, on January 7, 1909, Yuan Shuxun was impeached for failing to quit smoking. As a result, 21 officials, including the magistrate Cai Sirong and the magistrate Gong Dunren, were dismissed, and 13 people, including Huang naihan, member of the anti smoking inspection committee, were ordered to return to their places of origin. It seems that Yuan Shuxun attached great importance to official administration during his term as governor of Shandong Province. Political corruption and the prevalence of corruption and bribery were the persistent diseases of the Qing Dynasty. There were many reports of such evil practices in officialdom, but no decisive measures were taken by the imperial court. The censor Hu Sijing said: "Yuan Shuxun of Guangdong and Guangxi embezzled" two hundred and three hundred thousand "in Xiangtan; he was appointed to Shanghai Road, loaned money with official money, exploited personal interests, and got" seven hundred and eighty thousand "at the age of; he bought pounds and remitted" tens of thousands "in the funds of five ministers going abroad; he was promoted to Shandong Province, and raised" eighteen hundred thousand "on his way to Shanhou; in Guangdong Province, he threatened to ban gambling and got" three hundred thousand "bribed by gamblers It is arranged by the salt dealers of the whole province, and it is possible to pay another "two million" for the success. " Rao Zhixiang, the imperial censor, wrote: "Yuan Shuxun set up a gatekeeper to meet with his colleagues. Those who didn't accept the gatebag" didn't face him for more than a few days. "He still employed private people and made a false report of his achievements. Both censors asked for investigation. " However, Yuan Shuxun had been replaced by Yuan Shuxun in Qing Dynasty. From this point of view, Yuan Shuxun was not an honest official.

The case of joint trial

On December 8, 1905, the wife of the late official Li Tingyu, Wang, with 15 girls and more than 100 pieces of luggage, took the Yangtze River liner "Poyang" from Sichuan to Guangzhou via Shanghai. Among the 15 girls, there are Osmanthus fragrans, Wenxiang, Chen Meiyu, Wang Juan, Yang yangbao, etc. they were bought from Sichuan by Wang's relatives in Guangdong. They all have business credentials. However, at that time, the patrol room only unilaterally believed that they were abducting women according to the call from Zhenjiang, so they arrested Li Wang's gang on the charge of "abducting people" at the dock and sent them to the joint trial court for trial. The case was jointly tried by Chinese councillors Guan Fuzhi, Jin Shaocheng and British juror Vice Consul B. Twyman. During the trial, Wang's confession was consistent with that of Osmanthus fragrans and others, and the evidence of the transaction was conclusive. Guan and Jin thought that there was no evidence, so they asked for a further hearing. De weimen believed that the case should be investigated and the prisoners should be sent to the patrol room for custody. The two sides had a dispute over whether the person to be tried should be detained in a public prison or a police house. De weimen said arrogantly and unreasonably: "I can only follow the consul's advice and order the constable to bring back the criminals. I don't know if there is any Shanghai way." The enraged Guan Fuzhi said tit for tat: "I don't know Shanghai Road, and I don't know your consul.". At this point, the two sides started a fierce fight, so that the fists and feet together. the case had a great impact, and immediately aroused great public opinion and repercussions. At that time, the public and the chamber of Commerce held a collective meeting to discuss the matter. At that time, as a local official, Yuan Shuxun of Shanghai Daotai showed a rare resolute attitude in the whole process of foreign negotiations. He negotiated with the consular corps several times, which was also righteous and unyielding. Although the scale and influence of this case can not be compared with the anti Russian movement and the anti American movement, it is also a reflection of the awakening of national consciousness and a manifestation of the rising national integrity and patriotism. On December 9, 1905, Shen Bao published an article entitled "a big conflict in the public interrogation case" After obtaining the confession, he and Jin Liuling Shangzhi argued that the case was not abduction, and that it was a business woman. According to the regulations, she should detain Mu Lu and wait for the evidence and letters to be submitted to the court for examination. Unexpectedly, the court was discussing, and a constable wanted to take them back to the police house, so that he argued with Gu Chai. When they were arrested, they beat him with force and injured two people. Unexpectedly, the constable put the family and the girl in the anti-theft iron carriage. At that time, the people in the hall were shouting Boiling, Sima and Dejun retreat. Xuanjing personally went to the Taoist office to report everything, while Wei chunwu, the legislator of Daoxian yuan observation, ordered him to go to the Russian Consulate General's office to discuss everything on his behalf. It seems that such a conflict has never happened since the establishment of the joint trial court. On December 12, 1905, Shen Pao published an article in Zi Lin Bao on the sixth day of uproar: last Friday, Guan Jun, a member of the board of justice, wanted to take Li Wang's family and his children into custody for improvement. Therefore, their crimes have not yet been tried, and it is necessary to check the evidence. The consuls of various countries in Shanghai have suggested that the female prisoners should be detained in the office of the Ministry of industry for a long time, but they have not yet agreed with each other.
