张振勋“代理”新加坡总领事考

On Zhang Zhenxun Temporarily Acting for the Consul-general of Singapore

黄遵宪被调回国内任职之后,由张振勋"代理"新加坡总领事一职,这既是驻英公使龚照瑗大力推荐的结果,也是由于槟城副领事是新加坡总领事的首要下属。他在新加坡总领事任内较好完成了迎来送往的接待工作,有效地消弥了华侨内部的帮派隔阂,进而提升华侨的中国意识。随着中国政治形势和经济政策的发展,总领事的身份使张振勋与晚清政府建立更加紧密的联系,他逐渐成为受清廷"特宠"的华侨资本家。

After Huang Zunxian was transferred from Singapore to China, Kung Chao - Yuan, the diplomatic minis- ter to Great Britain, strongly recommended that Zhang Zhenxun temporarily acted for the consul - general of Singa- pore, because Zhang Zhenxun was the vice - consul of Penang, the primary subordinate of the Consul - General of Singapore. He properly finished his jobs of reception, removed the misunderstandings among the Overseas Chinese, and enhanced their Chinese nationalism. With the development of China＇s political situation and economic policy, Zhang Zhenxun＇ s identity of the Consul - General was maximized, and he was in close touch with late Qing govern- ment.
