The weather in Changshu is good, copywriting.

Sheng Xuanhuai, Minister of State and Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, was incredible in any case, from a lost dog to a "poor dog", before 19 10, 10 Wuchang Uprising. Sheng Xuanhuai (1844- 19 16) was born in Wujin, Jiangsu. /kloc-in 0/870, he entered Li Hongzhang's office as the "Copywriting and Commercial Office" and started his career. Perhaps because of his economic talent, with the support of Li Hongzhang, he gradually left his official career and turned to industry, and successively founded China Maritime Bureau, China Telegraph Bureau, Huasheng Textile General Administration and China Commercial Bank. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing Dynasty * * * changed part of official enterprise into a government-supervised business office, and Sheng Xuanhuai took over Hanyang Iron Works from * * * to manage Daye Iron Mine and Pingxiang Coal Mine, and merged them into Hanyeping Coal and Iron Factory and Mine Co., Ltd. as prime minister. Soon after, he was appointed as the general manager of China Railway Corporation by the Qing Dynasty. Various opportunities have made him another "red-top businessman" after Hu Xueyan, and he is also known as "the father of China industry". At the same time, Sheng Xuanhuai is thriving in officialdom. Acting as agent for Tianjin Customs Road, Shandong Denglai Youth Reserve Road and East Customs Supervision, left as assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry and right as assistant minister of the Ministry of Post. 19 10 as Minister of Postal Communications; 19 1 1 On May 8th, the "Royal Cabinet" was established, and "Shangshu" was renamed as "Minister". Sheng Xuanhuai remained as Minister of Postal Communications and became Minister of State. This, so to speak, is far better than that Hu Xueyan only donated a hollow reputation. When Wuchang Uprising broke out, all provinces responded in succession. Although the Qing court immediately sent Yin Chang, the secretary of the army, to the south to suppress it, in just half a month, on June 25th, 10, Hubei, Hunan and Shaanxi successively declared "independence", and the Qing court faced a serious ruling crisis. On/0/6 days after the Wuchang Uprising, Cheng Qilin, assistant lecturer of the Imperial Academy, Fan Zhijie of imperial academy and Xu Shi, president of the Senior Council, wrote at the same time to impeach Sheng Xuanhuai for "violating the law, infringing on rights and insurrection". They attributed the Wuchang Uprising to Sheng Xuanhuai's bullying and illegal collection of grievances, and thought that Sheng Xuanhuai was "arrogant, isolated and delayed the overall situation". That night, the Qing court decreed that Sheng Xuanhuai was immediately dismissed and could not be used again. But it seems that dismissal is not enough to end the feud. 10 On June 27th, please ask Chen Qinggui to give Sheng Xuanhuai an appropriate punishment and throw away the military law of Ruicheng, Governor of Huguang, Wuchang, and Zhang Biao, the magistrate of Hubei. Many members also impeached Sheng Xuanhuai for "causing mutiny" and "should be twisted" according to the law. The United States, Britain, France and Germany did not want to see Sheng Xuanhuai executed, fearing that the Qing court would change the railway state-owned policy, thus affecting the signing of loan agreements with the four countries. Wei Li, the American Chargé d 'affaires in China, immediately contacted the diplomatic representatives of the other three countries in Beijing and called on Yi Kuang, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and the Prince of the Qing Dynasty, to ask him to promise not to harm Sheng Xuanhuai. Under the pressure of various countries, Prince Yi Kuang of the Qing Dynasty was forced to agree. Regent Zai Feng thought that it was serious enough to immediately remove Sheng Xuanhuai and would never use it, so he refused to consider Chen Qinggui's request for Sheng Xuanhuai's punishment. 10 10 On the night of 28th, the embassies of Britain, France, Germany, the United States and Japan each sent two guards to form a 10 guard. Under the guidance of Counsellor Ding Jiali of the American Embassy and Counsellor Baden of the British Embassy, Sheng Xuanhuai was escorted to Tianjin in the dark. Sheng Xuanhuai, a generation tycoon who has been in business for many years, left Beijing with great anxiety and never set foot in Beijing again until his death. 1On the morning of October 29th, 65438+ arrived in Tianjin, and Sheng Xuanhuai immediately transferred to the German ship "Prefect" and took refuge in Qingdao at noon on the 30th. Sheng Xuanhuai, originally planned to stay in Qingdao for a long time under the protection of Germans, transferred to Dalian on February 14, then fled to Japan at the end of the year on the grounds of suffering from lung disease, and "rested" in Kobe until he returned to China on February 19 12. During the period of19111,the armed forces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces successively announced the seizure of Sheng Xuanhuai's property, including pawns and ancestral temples in Suzhou, Changshu, Changzhou, Wuxi, Wujin, Jiangyin, Jiading, Yangzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou, where Sheng Xuanhuai was a shareholder. The scope even expanded to include movable property and immovable property such as fields, houses, pawns and shares owned by Sheng Xuanhuai's brothers, sons and nephews, relatives and friends. Shortly after living in Japan, Sheng Xuanhuai felt the cold face of Japan after tearing off the warm veil. Due to the high cost of staying in a hotel, he moved out of the hotel and rented eight rooms in Xishan for a group of 20 people. The trees in the deep mountains are lush, which is a place to cultivate sentiment. But every time I receive a letter of complaint from Shanghai, I can imagine the tears in Sheng Xuanhuai's heart when I learn that the real estate and shops have been sealed up by the People's Army, all the shares of the company in Shanghai have been sold, and the family only lives on rent. 19 12 in July, Sun Baoqi, Sheng Xuanhuai's in-laws and Yuan Shikai's consultant, sent a message from Yuan Shikai, telling Sheng Xuanhuai that "it is better to stay in Japan for the time being, and all property should be preserved as much as possible". When is the right time to return to China? Yuan Shikai did not say. Being busy reconciling the North-South relations, he naturally won't miss this down-and-out senior official all the time. The weather in Tokyo is getting colder every day, and Sheng Xuanhuai hasn't heard from Yuan Shikai that he wants to return to China. Sheng Xuanhuai returned to Shanghai between 19 12 and 10. After returning home, faced with the tragic situation that "the countryside was barren and the family property was washed away", he laughed at himself and said that "fortunately, the population was innocent and he was not a ghost in a foreign land", but he was committed to recovering his family property. Through the mediation of Sun Yat-sen, especially Yuan Shikai, after donating not less than 6.5438+0.5 million yuan to North and South * * *, all the Sheng's property once seized by the Republic of China * * * was finally returned. Sheng Xuanhuai himself died in April of 19 16 at the age of 73. A generation of officials and businessmen died, leaving behind huge wealth that they could not take away.
