民国北京政府收回井陉煤矿的尝试

Beijing Government's Attempt to Recover Jingxing Coal Mine in the Republic of China

一战时期,在协约国的持续施压下,民国北京政府开始遣送敌侨和全面收管敌侨财产。1919年初,井陉煤矿的收管工作结束,如何清理井陉产业成为北京政府面临的首要问题。因井陉煤矿乃是中外合办,与一般德产不同,北京政府希冀借此机会将其完全收回自办,继而开始组织外交、农商、财政各部人员评估汉纳根的股权价值,并决定由农商部备价收买。时移世易,中德和谈。中德双方决定将井陉煤矿一事单独商议,最终议定改办合同。然而,此项合同并未能最大化保障我国的利益,随即引发民众要求废止合同的抗争。井陉煤矿的处置过程是一战时期民国北京政府处置在华德产的缩影。

In the period of World War I,under the constant pressure of the Allied Powers,the Beijing government of the Republic of China began to repatriate enemy aliens and take full control of their property.In early 1919,the collection and control of the Jingxing coal mine ended,and how to clean up the Jingxing's industry became the primary problem facing the Beijing government.Since the coal mine was a Sino-foreign joint venture,different from the general German property,the Beijing government wanted to take this opportunity to recover it completely for its own use,and then began to organize the ministries of foreign affairs,agriculture and commerce,and finance to assess the value of Hannagan's shareholding,and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce prepared the price to buy it.Time changed and the Sino-German peace talks were held.China and Germany decided to negotiate the matter of the Jingxing coal mine separately,and finally agreed to convert the contract.However,this contract did not maximize the protection of our interests,which led to civil resistance for the annulment of the contract.The process of disposing of the Jingxing was a microcosm of the disposition of German property in China by the Chinese goverment during World War I.
