Speaking of Qing officials, the first thing we think of should be Bao Zheng, Yu Qian and Hairui, all of whom are the most famous Qing officials in history, who have dedicated their lives to the community and the people. These officials who are the masters of the people are all deeply loved by the people, and they still live in our hearts today.
In addition to the above-mentioned Qing officials, there was also a Qing official during the Republic of China period. When he resigned his post and returned home, he was robbed by bandits on the road, and when the bandits searched his luggage, they wept bitterly, not only sparing him but also kneeling for more than thirty miles. So what's going on? Who was this Qing official during the Republic of China?
The Qing official of the Republic of China, Zhang Nanxian
The Qing official of the Republic of China who touched the bandits was the famous Zhang Nanxian.
On March 30, 1873, Zhang Nanxian was born in a family of readers in Qiuyang, Hubei Province, under the good influence of the family, he was intelligent and studious since childhood, but everyone who saw him exaggerated his intelligence and talent, like a genius teenager.
However, Zhang Nanxian is not Wang Anshi's Zhongyong, he is not carried away by the boasts of the outside world, but works harder to study, only hoping to do something for this chaotic world.
Zhang Nanxian has read countless books in his life, and his reading is also different from others, ordinary people read the content of the book, Zhang Nanxian prefers to learn the good qualities of the characters from the book, in his view, the quality of people is above the knowledge!
Zhang Nanxian's gangzheng did not embarrass Chiang Kai-shek
Zhang Nanxian learned countless good qualities from the book, the most representative of which is honesty and integrity. It was precisely his noble qualities of integrity and unwillingness to bow to the evil forces that made him deeply loved by the people, but it also made him offend Chiang Kai-shek.
At that time, it was still 1931, Zhang Nanxian was the chairman of Zhejiang Province, as the governor of a province, it was naturally a high authority, but we can not see from his body that he had the style of a provincial governor, and his clothes were no different from ordinary people.
In order to be honest, Zhang Nanxian rarely contacted relatives, friends and colleagues outside of work, and all the gifts he received were returned one by one, and at the same time, he also had to take a part of his meager salary every month to help the victims.
In the same year, Chiang Kai-shek returned to his hometown in Fenghua, Zhejiang, and the officials in Zhejiang held a lively welcome party for him with great interest, and Chiang Kai-shek was also very happy.
However, at this time, Zhang Nanxian greatly swept away Chiang Kai-shek's Yaxing, and it turned out that Zhang Nanxian was upright and did not like to sneak and shoot horses. At the same time, he was also extremely dissatisfied with some of the things chiang kai-shek had done before, and he wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass him.
So Zhang Nanxian came to Chiang Kai-shek with a piece of paper and said: "Jiang Gong, this is a voucher for your wife and your mother-in-law to go out and play, which cost a total of 13,780 yuan." ”
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused quite a stir, some people admired Zhang Nanxian's courage, and another part of the people were naturally dissatisfied with the extravagant life of the Chiang Kai-shek family. At the same time, this remark also made Chiang Kai-shek change color slightly, but his mouth still said: "Whoever this is, you will go to whom!" ”
Just when the scene was frozen there, fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek's bodyguards took the voucher from Zhang Nanxian's hand, which eased the atmosphere between the two sides, and everyone was relieved!
Song Meiling held a grudge in her heart, but there was nothing she could do
After the above incident, Song Meiling has always held a grudge against Zhang Nanxian and decided to teach him a lesson.
So Song Meiling ordered the agents to launch a comprehensive investigation of Zhang Nanxian, but they did not find his horse's feet at all, and all they found were his fine deeds of being upright and single-mindedly serving the people, which immediately shocked Song Meiling.
In desperation, Song Meiling had to come to Zhang Nanxian's home in person, at this time she found that Zhang Nanxian did not even have a better house, and there were only necessities in the home, which was no different from ordinary people, for which Song Meiling could only express her sincere admiration!
However, after Song Meiling left, Zhang Nanxian was very angry, and he felt that his personality had been insulted, so he decided to resign and go home.
On the day Zhang Nanxian left Zhejiang, every family put a basin of clean water in front of their homes, gave him a mirror, and kept sending him away from Zhejiang, which was the first time in Thousands of years in Zhejiang!
Zhang Nan first touched the bandits
When Zhang Nan first returned to his hometown in Hubei Province, he had to take a ferry, but in the process of going to take the ferry, he unfortunately encountered a group of bandits, who intercepted Zhang Nanxian's ferry and then got on the boat to prepare to ask him for money.
Normally, those who can take the ferry are either rich or expensive, and this gang of bandits can make a lot of money every time they rob here.
But when the bandits asked Zhang Nanxian to hand over all the belongings in his hands, Zhang Nanxian said that he was penniless, and the bandits did not believe it and forcefully searched it again, but in the end they only found 50 yuan of change in his clothes!
When encountering such a "poor customer", the bandit had to admit that he was unlucky, scolded a few words of obscurity, and then prepared to leave.
Just when Zhang Nanxian was relieved, these bandits suddenly learned from other people that Zhang Nanxian was actually an official, which could not help but make the bandits feel that he had hidden his belongings, and then forced him to hand over his belongings again.
Forced to do so, Zhang Nanxian had to tell his story to the bandits truthfully, hoping that they would let themselves go.
After Zhang Nan finished speaking, these bandits unconsciously cried out. It turned out that they were also from poor backgrounds, and they had no choice but to fall into the grass, and their hearts were very disgusted with corrupt officials, but they admired the real clean officials very much, and now they thought that they had actually robbed the clean officials who were the masters of the people, and they cried out in shame.
The bandits immediately rearranged Zhang Nanxian's luggage, then escorted him out of the water and knelt by the river to watch him for thirty miles.
After this incident, Zhang Nanxian's reputation became famous, and Song Meiling was also deeply ashamed, so he recommended Zhang Nanxian in front of Chiang Kai-shek, and in this way, Zhang Nanxian was reused by Chiang Kai-shek as the director of the Hubei Provincial Department of Finance, and did not retire until the end of 1948.
