论中法战争中的岑毓英

On Cen Yuying in Sino-French War

作为朝廷命官,云贵总督岑毓英在中法战争中并不完全认同清廷关于完全驱逐法国侵略势力出越南、帮助越南复国的战略目标,而是从实际出发,采取的是切实可行之策。以往学界认为岑毓英在中法战争中的所为系妥协退让,征诸于事实,这有失公允。

Though as a minister appointed by the central government of the Qing Dynasty,Cen Yuying,governor of Yunan and Guizhou Provinces,agreed with reservation with the government s strategic goal of driving the French aggressors out of Vietnam and assisting the nation restore sovereignty.Instead,he adopt-ed feasible measures based on practice.Scholars used to argue that Cen Yuying made concessions in Sino-French War.However,facts suggest that their argument is unfair.
