日本与张勋复辟

Japan and the Zhang Xun’s Restoration

寺内内阁成立后,以寺内为首的政府要人及日本驻中国公使馆、领事馆、驻屯军等相关人士在复辟活动的前期或明或暗、或多或少都在背后给予了相当的支持。正是日本政府的这种态度,刺激了国内欲行复辟的各势力积极行动,适时准备复辟,由此导致原本不稳的中国国内政局更加混乱。而随着中国参战问题的表面化,国内府院之争的矛盾凸显,日本上下内外虽然及时调整对华政策,不再对复辟表示支持,但是随着张勋的拥军北上,复辟大势已然形成,复辟已是箭在弦上。

After the Terauchi cabinet came to power, the Japanese government dignitaries headed by Terauchi, officials of the Japanese embassy, consulates and garrisons supported, either overtly or implicitly, the restoration activities behind the scene in the early stage. The supportive attitude of the Japanese government pushed domestic restoration forces more active. As a result, China’s previously unstable domestic political situation had become more chaotic. With the change of situation regarding China’s participation in the world war, the conflict between the Presidential Office and the State Council was growing. Although Japan adjusted its China policy later and no longer supported the restoration, but it was too late. With Zhang Xun’s army moving northward to Beijing, the restoration was on the way.
