在个人交谊与国家利益之间:井上馨与盛宣怀围绕汉冶萍问题交涉始末(1897—1915)

The Whole Interaction between Inoue Koru and Sheng Xuanhuai about Han Yeping,1897-1915:Issues from Personal Relationship to National Interest

明治维新后,随着近代产业的发展,日本元老井上馨于1890年代开始关注汉冶萍公司并与其负责人盛宣怀保持长期密切的联系。通过考察相关文献中经由高木陆郎传递的二人来往信函可以发现,井上馨在与盛宣怀交涉的过程中不断改变关于汉冶萍的构想,先是订立协约互利共赢,后为日中合办意图控制,可以说其与日本政府对华政策的逐步开展相呼应。同时,盛宣怀通过与井上馨的私交,先是促成中日双方互利之生铁协议,后意图通过井上馨来阻止日本政府以合办之名达控制之实,但未获成功。本文试图通过此案例来探讨个人交谊在事关国家利益的交涉之中的作用及得失教训。
