摘要
同光之交海防大讨论和光绪十一年海防大讨论,关系到晚清海防建设的重大布局和发展走向。与正式上交的海防奏议不同,李鸿章等参议官员留下的信函、日记等,记载了两次海防大讨论更多的政治内幕。从中可以发现,大多数参议官员对近代海防的认知较为隔膜,尤以同光之交海防大讨论为著,由此一定程度上影响了参议官员的筹款决心。相对于李鸿章、翁同龢、阎敬铭等参议官员,文祥、奕譞是两次海防大讨论的发起者和主持者,但前者因病不可为,将海防筹议的主导权推诸地方督抚、京官群体;后者借海防善后为京旗“市德”谋取裁勇节饷款。清廷中枢对海防大讨论进程的指导不力和海防态度的反转,应为两次海防大讨论因循粉饰的结局承担更多的责任。
The coastal defense debates,one from late 1874 to early 1875,the other in 1885,were momentous events related to coastal defense layout and development in the late Qing Dynasty.Compared to formal memorials,the diaries,letters,etc.of Li Hongzhang and other officials,recorded more inside political information about the coastal defense debates.It can be found that most officials had an inept knowledge of modern coastal defense,especially in 1874-1875,which somewhat affected officials’determination to raise funds.Unlike Li Hongzhang,Weng Tonghe,Yan Jingming,etc.,Wen Xiang and Yi Xuan were initiators and hosts of the two coastal defense debates.The former,due to illness,shirked the leadership to the local governors and capital officials;the latter,used the follow-up matters of coastal defense as an excuse to gain benefits for the capital Banners with the funds of saving expenses and reducing the troops.The Qing court should be responsible for the perfunctory of the two coastal defense debates because of its poor guidance of the process and the turn of manners.
