As the last dynasty in China, the Qing Dynasty collapsed after more than two hundred years of ups and downs. People who have seen history books or Qing Dynasty costume dramas know that the role of ten thousand people under one person in the Qing Dynasty is the feudal official. As the leader in charge of one area, their little life is good. But with the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, what was the fate of these once-prosperous feudal officials?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > governor Zhang Zhenfang</h1>
According to statistics, the last governor of the Qing Dynasty had nine feudal governors, and the imperial court was crowned with nine viceroys. First of all, zhang Zhenfang, the governor directly subordinate to him, is the most special among all the governors, because the area under his jurisdiction is at the foot of tianzi, so it is generally undertaken by people with prestige and ability and dependent on the royal family.
Yuan Shikai everyone knows that he once served as the governor of Zhili, and this Zhang Zhenfang was able to hold this position, also because he was the younger brother of Yuan Shikai's sister-in-law, because he was related to his family, so he was helped by Yuan Shikai.
Later, when the Qing government collapsed, he worked under Yuan Shikai, but Yuan Shikai later claimed to be emperor and died soon after. Zhang Zhenfang colluded with Zhang Xun, who had previously worked together in the Qing Dynasty, and the two tried to restore the Qing, but failed.
In the end, Zhang Zhenfang was thrown into prison, and the trial result was life imprisonment. He did not want to be in the old death row, so he found someone to entrust him to release, and finally he stopped participating in political affairs, returned home to retire, and finally died at the age of 70.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > Zhang Xun, governor of Liangjiang</h1>
The second was Zhang Xun, the governor of Liangjiang, who was mentioned above and Zhang Zhenfang wanted to restore the Qing. This man was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he still did not die, recruiting soldiers and horses to restore the Qing Dynasty.
As a loyal vassal of the Qing Dynasty, when he rose up all over the country to cut braids to bid farewell to the old dynasty, he did not listen to the persuasion of his friends and insisted on not cutting. Later, he felt that he already had a part of the army, and with the addition of Zhang Zhenfang, the governor directly subordinate to him, it was already ripe.
But the result was indeed a fiasco, and after being suppressed, there was no more storm. Although capital crimes can be avoided, living sins cannot be escaped. However, because this person was more popular and well-connected at the political level, he was not punished in the end. Disheartened, Zhang Xun returned to Tianjin, where he spent his days recuperating, and eventually drove to Hexi in his 60s.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > Zhao Erxun, governor of the three eastern provinces</h1>
The third was Zhao Erxun, the governor who ruled over the three eastern provinces, and this area in the northeast was the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, which was generally guarded by the most trusted loyal vassals of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Erxun was also a piece of stone, and for Yuan Shikai's zhao'an, it was soft and hard not to eat.
Yuan Shikai was helpless against him, but for his own political purposes, Yuan Shikai arranged a job for Zhao Ersun to write the history of the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Erxun gladly accepted, but died before he could finish writing, but the good villains also left a general framework for the writing of the Qing history.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > Zhao Erfeng, governor of Sichuan</h1>
The fourth was Zhao Erxun's younger brother, Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan. This man was a capable man, and his glorious deed was to send troops to Tibet to quell the rebellion. After a bloody struggle, Tibet was firmly established in the territory of our country.
At that time, his brother was still a big red man in the imperial court, so he became the governor of Sichuan, which was very popular. Finally, he was also influenced by his brother's stubborn ideas, and because he killed many revolutionaries in the Road Protection Movement, he was arrested and put on trial after the Xinhai Revolution. Eventually, he was sentenced to death.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu</h1>
The fifth was the governor of the Shaanxi-Gansu Region, Kaiyun. Kaiyun was also one of the loyal vassals of the Qing Dynasty, and spent his whole life working for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. During his term of office, because of his stubborn ideas and other parties, he was always excluded, and he chose to resign and go home in desperation.
Not long after, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, and after the success of the Xinhai Revolution, Kaiyun was appointed as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. However, Kaiyun did not forget the Great Qing Dynasty in his heart, and after he ascended to the throne, he still made preparations for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty behind his back, and once wanted to occupy Xi'an and use Xi'an as a base for the qing Dynasty to develop again, but before he could implement it, Fu Yi stepped down.
However, Kaiyon was still unwilling, and had been fighting against the revolutionary parties, and even secretly contacted the Japanese, hoping to borrow Japanese power to restore the Qing, but did not succeed. Finally, it is also depressed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" > Songshou, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang</h1>
The sixth was Song Shou, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. Song Shou was also one of the staunch supporters of the Qing Dynasty, and he supported the Qing Dynasty at the cost of his life. After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, many Qing generals, seeing that the general trend had gone, advised Songshou to surrender his weapons and not to make any more senseless resistance.
But Song Shou did not listen to the advice, and he still remembered the Qing Dynasty in his heart. Therefore, he led the soldiers to stubbornly resist and did not fear death. However, the small number of troops and the lack of combat effectiveness, coupled with the lack of reinforcements, were quickly defeated. After Songshou's defeat, he was discouraged and chose to commit suicide and martyrdom.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > Governor Rui Cheng of Huguang</h1>
The seventh was a staunch supporter of the Great Qing Dynasty who was also like Songshou, the governor of Huguang, Rui Cheng. The governor could say that his ability was incompetent, and it was precisely because of his inability to do things that he indirectly led to the success of the Wuchang Uprising.
At that time, in the early stage of the Wuchang Uprising, the list of revolutionaries was leaked, and Rui Cheng got a part of the list, but Rui Cheng only arrested two or three people. The remaining revolutionary generals were very worried, not knowing whether Rui Cheng had obtained some of the lists of themselves, but they could clearly see the fate of those who were arrested.
The generals were worried, so they launched the Wuchang Uprising in advance. After the uprising, what people did not expect was that Rui Cheng actually fled privately after the first wave of frontal fighting, resulting in a complete victory in the Wuchang uprising. After Rui Cheng fled, he has always been uprooted and displaced. Later, after the domestic turmoil slowly subsided, he settled in Shanghai, and he also died of old age.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" > Governor Li Jingxi of Yungui</h1>
The eighth was Li Jingxi, the governor of Yungui. He is the grandson of Li Hongzhang and has a prominent background. As a teacher, he taught a lot of revolutionaries, and during the period of the revolution, he turned a blind eye and basically did not intervene.
After the success of the revolution, he returned to his hometown. However, within a few years, he was coerced by Yuan Shikai to take up a position, and Yuan Shikai disappeared into the city after his death. Finally, in Shanghai, I grew old.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > Zhang Mingqi, governor of Liangguang</h1>
The last one can be said to be the last and most infamous of the governors, Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Liangguang. This man also had no real ability, and during the revolution, when he saw the wind and the rudder, he saw that the form was inappropriate, so he ran away with the property he had looted. Later, seeing that Yuan Shikai was powerful, he turned to Yuan Shikai and brutalized many revolutionaries during the period of doing things for Yuan Shikai.
After Yuan Shikai failed, he ran away again. What is most infuriating is that after Japan launched the war of aggression against China, he actually defected to the Japanese and became a traitor to the Japanese. After Japan's unconditional surrender, Zhang Mingqi hid his name and disappeared.
For these nine feudal officials, no matter whether the outcome was execution, old age, or suicide. The most important thing is not to forget the original intention, no matter which side you support, you are loyal.
However, as the kind of person who falls on both sides of the wall and elbows outward, the end and the end are certainly the worst, because they will be left behind for thousands of years and spurned by the world.
