甲午战争中的翁同龢与徐用仪

Weng Tonghe and Xu Yongyi in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894—1895

在晚清政局中,翁同龢的官位、声望、政治品性都远远高于徐用仪。甲午中日战争时,翁、徐二人同为军机大臣,参与机要,翁同龢是帝党主战派的代表,徐用仪是后党主和派的核心人物。在和战问题、割地问题和借款问题上,他们两人政见相左,多次"动色相争"。徐用仪被罢斥退出军机和总署,长期以来也被认为是翁同龢所为。大量的史实证明,虽然翁、徐二人政治倾向不同,但徐用仪被罢斥绝非翁同龢授意所为。翁同龢并非完人,徐用仪并非毫无是处。

In the late Qing Dynasty,Weng＇s official position,prestige,and political character are much higher than Xu.In Jiawu Sino-Japanese War of 1894—1895,Weng and Xu both were military Ministers.Weng was the representative for the war while Xu was the center figure for truce.The two also differed in annexations and loan issues.Weng had long been considered the people behind Xu＇s dismissal from the military and defence department.The paper,after in-depth research,discloses that Weng is not the person causing Xu＇s dismissal.
