论晚清新军的优抚制度

On the Preferential Treatment System of the New Army in the Late Qing Dynasty

晚清新军的优抚,是我国优抚发展史上一个至关重要的时期。袁世凯对新军的优抚工作给予了高度重视,尤其是在军队医疗救治方面,聘用熟谙西方医疗知识的军医,采用西式医疗技术,使旧军队医疗救治落后的局面大大改观。此外,针对新军退伍士兵的安置工作,制定了详细的实施细则。这是我国封建社会关于安置退伍军人最完整、最系统的细则。这对于激扬军队士气,保持社会稳定,提高军队战斗力等方面起到了积极作用。然而,新军的优抚仍在封建社会的窠臼中徘徊。

The New Army'spreferential treatment system in the Late Qing Dynasty is an important period in the overall development of Chinese preferential treatment history. Yuan Shikai attached great importance to the the New Army' s preferential treatment system, especially the army's medical work. He employed some excellent military doctors who knew much about western medical knowledge, and adopted the western skills of medical treatment. In this way , the conditions of the old army's medical treatment took on a new look. In addition, to settle down the New Army's exservicemen, he laid down detailed rules and regulations which were the most complete and systematical ones about the arrangement of demobilized soldiers in feudal society. The regulations put positive influence on inspiring army's morale, on keeping society steady permanently and on heightening soldier's fighting will. However the New Army's preferential treatment system still walked back and forth in the set pattern of feudal society.
