载沣军事集权论略

On Military Centralization of ZAI Feng

醇亲王载沣在监国摄政期间,为改变晚清长期以来形成的外重内轻格局,解决统治危机,强化皇权,全力进行军事集权,维护大清的统治,但由于清朝各方面矛盾重重,军事集权最终并没有成功,反而加剧了统治危机。辛亥革命爆发后,载沣精心经营的军事势力要么倒向革命党要么倒向袁世凯,最终为应对危机不得不向袁世凯交出清廷的全部权力,军事集权彻底失败。

In the regency period, Prince ZAI Fcng centralized the military and maintained the rule of the Qing dynasty in order to change the system with weak central government and largely autonomous local gevernments, solve the ruling crisis, and strengthen the imperial power. However, due to various contradictions, the military centralization of the Qing dynasty was not successful and accelerated the governing crisis. After the outbreak of the 1911 revolution, ZAI Feng＇s military power was either towards the revolutionary party or towards YUAN Shikai, and eventually to cope with the crisis ZAI Feng had to hand over all the power of the Qing dynasty to YUAN Shikai, hence the failure of military power.
