《明代职官年表》载雷跃龙甲申之变“降清”考辨

A Textual Research on the Entry in Official Titles in the Ming Dynasty of Lei Yuelong's Surrender to the Qing Emperor in the 1644 Event

雷跃龙的人生,是"传奇、辉煌、悲壮"的一生。但因其所处时代的剧变,史料缺佚和史家观点角度的不同,导致对他的记录评价多有错讹隐晦之处。从首次公开最新发现的重要证据、各类重点史料、权威性史学专著的考证来看,1644年甲申之变发生时,《明代职官年表》所载"被清军抓获""雷跃龙降清"之说不实,应予否定。

Lei Yuelong lived an eventful,valiant,and tragic life.The dramatic changes of his time,the scarcity of records,the loss of historical documents,and conflicting opinions held by scholars,all contribute to the errors and obscurities that abound in the records we have about his biographical events.From the evidences made public recently and in careful cross-examination with other historical materials and files,and research publications,we find the entry,in Official Titles in the Ming Dynasty,of Lei Yuelong was captured by Qing soldiers and Lei Yuelong’s surrender to the Qing Emperor in the 1644 Event,was not true to history and should be negated.
