晚清中国朝野对《中俄密约》的反应

The Governments' and Public's Responses to the Sino-Russian Secret Treaty in the Late Qing Dynasty

甲午战争后,清政府实施联俄拒日外交,派李鸿章出访俄国,以出让主权利益为代价,与俄国政府签订了《中俄密约》。清政府高层对缔约工作采取高度的保密措施,但地方官员和民间社会仍从种种途径获知密约的局部内容,并就密约的可能结果表达了质疑和担忧。由于清政府对俄国仍然持有期待,因此这些不同意见未能起到促使清政府有效应对俄国毁约的作用。

After the Sino-Japanese War in 1894, Qing Government wanted to unite Russia to resist Japan. Therefore, it sent Li Hongzhang to visit Russia and make a secret treaty at the great cost of China＇s sovereign right. The government kept the treaty as a top secret. But local officials and the nongovernmental society got to know about it in different ways and showed their queries and worries about its possible consequence. But the then government still held a hope of Russia, their valuable suggestions were largely ignored.
