试论琦善在鸦片战争中卖国罪名的不成立

On Qi Shan in the Opium War traitor guilty of the establishment

在鸦片战争中,琦善的对英交涉被人指为"投降""卖国",加在他身上的三项罪名分别是:一是鸦片战争中,当英国舰队到达天津时,趁机打击禁烟派领袖林则徐,同时驰备撤防,主张投降;二是主持广东中英谈判期间,不事战守,虎门危急之时又拒不增援,致使战事失败,关天培战死;三是私许香港给英国。然而不少的历史研究者,出于爱国热情和道德激愤,在研究历史时往往夹杂着一些道德的批判,从而对历史的论述不尽符合事实真相。

In the Opium War, the negotiates to UK by Qi Shan is referred as ＂the surrender betrays country＂, adds on his bodyg three charges respectively is： First, in Opium War, when the British fleet arrives at Tianjin, seizes the chance to attack the opium forbidden leader Lin Zexu, simultaneously spreads prepares withdraws from a defended position, to advocate the surrender; Second, manages Guangdong China and UK negotiations period, not matter offense and defenses, when Humen was in danger refuses to reinforce, cause the war defeat, Guan Tianpei died in battle; Third, private permits Hong Kong to Britain. However I believed that these indictments cannot establish, in this article, I will deny these judgments by the fact proof.
