The Life of the Characters Written by Eisingiro Shanti

Tongzhi five years (1866), good body was born. He is the tenth grandson of Su, the eldest son of Qing Taizong. Grandfather was Hua Feng and died after his death. His father, Long Zhuo, is an official of the interior minister. Shangti has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he is brave and extraordinary. It is said that he once seized foreign hooligans' pistols empty-handed.

In the 13th year of Guangxu (1887), he served as the second-class general of Zhenzhou. In the 25th year of Guangxu (1899), he attacked Prince Su. In the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing. Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi fled from Beijing in a hurry. At the same time, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered her to return to Beijing to deal with the aftermath together with the Qing Prince Yi Kuang and the university student Li Hongzhang. Shortly after Shanti returned to Beijing, he met Chuan Dao Su Lang, a translator in the Japanese army. They met each other after a brief encounter, and later became brothers. With the support of Chuan Dao Su Lang and others, Shanti organized a patrol according to the Japanese Police Law and the present situation of Beijing (this is the origin of Beijing police in the future).

The change of the boxer, Sue palace was completely burned by Eight-Nation Alliance. In order to compensate for the loss of Su Wangfu, the court gave Shanyi a sum of compensation and made him a supervisor of Chongwenmen, earning a lot of money. Chongwen door supervisor is a tax collector in the capital of Qing Dynasty, in charge of Chongwen State Administration of Taxation and 23 branches, responsible for collecting all kinds of goods taxes in and out of Beijing, which is my dream job. Because of the meaning of compensation, the court stipulated that the tax paid would be reduced from 302,000 over the years to 6,543,800+2,000, and the rest could be collected by good people. Shanti just doesn't accept this feeling. At the beginning of his tenure, he drastically reorganized officials and prohibited corruption and bribery. In less than a year, the tax collected under the supervision of Chongwenmen, after deducting the expenses, was as high as 602,000 yuan, and Yi Shan himself did not have one or two left, and turned it over to the state treasury in full. In the past, foreigners brought goods to Beijing without paying taxes, but he changed to pay taxes as a whole; In the past, when businessmen entered the customs, economic agents took all the taxes and got a commission from them. Instead, officials directly inspect the goods and collect taxes, eliminating the intermediate exploitation link. Good intentions virtually pushed him to the opposite of some powerful people. Not long after, he was impeached and deposed by Wang Yi-kui of Qing Dynasty. In April of the 28th year of Guangxu (1902), Shan Yan was appointed as the Minister of Management Affairs of the General Administration of Industrial Inspection. During his term of office of 1 year and 8 months, Shan Yan was determined to innovate and left many achievements that can go down in history. One of them is the renovation of Wangfujing Street. Before Gengzi, the road surface in Wangfujing area was very narrow and uneven, and it was often dusty in sunny days and muddy in rainy days. There are few shops on both sides of the street. After the signing of the "Xin Chou Treaty", Dongjiaomin Lane in the south exit of Wangfujing became the embassy district. In view of the increasing number of foreigners coming and going, Shanshan soon realized the huge potential commercial value here. At his invitation, in February of the 29th year of Guangxu (1903), Dong 'an Market was built east of Wangfujing Street. Subsequently, many large and small shops appeared one after another, and the streets were expanded and renovated. At that time, the capital took on a new look Shannian also clearly set up a theater called "Civilized chayuan" in West zhushikou, where women were seated upstairs and men were seated downstairs, abolishing the ban that women could not enter the theater, which became an instant hit in Beijing, the first good district.

During the inspection tour of the Good Retirement Administration, a notice written in vernacular Chinese prohibiting the setting off of firecrackers was issued, which said, "It is the end of the year and the weather is dry, so citizens should pay close attention to setting off firecrackers", which is no different from what we said in today's notice. This incident has attracted the attention of Beijing Daily, believing that Yi Shan's move undoubtedly promoted the popularization of vernacular Chinese. In addition to the General Administration of Industrial Inspection, Zhu Shan has set up three branches in China and the West, and established a new type of police organization. After being promoted to the post of Minister of Civil Affairs, Shan Shan promoted the police, household registration, health and municipal construction throughout the country. Xu Shiying, a former interior chief of Beiyang government and Anhui governor, was in charge of public security in the capital during the Shan Yan period. On one occasion, Xu Shiying ordered Fujin to be fined ten yuan for not obeying traffic regulations. However, Xu Shiying's behavior was not only proved innocent, but also appreciated by virtuous people.

However, these reform-oriented kindness and forgiveness practices were not recognized at that time. Finally, when he put forward the proposal of canceling the step army and commanding the yamen, he was resisted and opposed by the die-hards, and instigated more than 20,000 officers and men of the step army and commanding the yamen to complain to the Qing Prince, and Shan Yan was dismissed again. In the second year of Xuantong (19 10), Wang Jingwei secretly sneaked into Beijing and plotted to assassinate Puyi's father, Zai Feng, the regent of the Qing Dynasty. Wang Jingwei was not arrested for assassination, and the court instructed Shan Yi to take charge of the case. During the trial, Shan Yan was deeply moved by Wang Ching-wei's manuscripts "The Trend of Revolution", "Revolutionary Determination" and "Farewell to Comrades" and decided not to kill them. In addition, Shan Yan had a premonition that the rule of the Qing Dynasty was in jeopardy, and thought that it was useless to kill several revolutionaries at this time, so it was better to deal with it by appeasement. At his urging, Wang Jingwei got a lighter sentence and was sentenced to life imprisonment only for "misunderstanding government policies". Soon, it was released again

During his imprisonment, Wang Jingwei visited the prison many times, hoping to take the opportunity to do Wang's ideological work for his own use. But as a result, their dialogue is like a debate every time, and it is evenly matched, and no one can convince anyone. Privately, Shan Yan said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "If I hadn't come from the royal family, I would have joined the revolutionary party to resist the court." Wang Jingwei, on the other hand, is admired for his elegant speech and foresight, which is unmatched by ordinary stupid and incompetent officials and corrupt officials. Later, when people asked about Wang Jingwei's impression of Yi Shan, Wang Jingwei only commented on one sentence: "Great statesman".

In the third year of Xuantong (19 1 1 year), Zhang Shaoceng and Lantian Wei launched a "remonstrance" in Luanzhou, and the Qing court was forced to write a letter to punish themselves for their crimes, announcing the lifting of the party ban and granting amnesty to prisoners in Luanzhou. Taking this opportunity, Shan Yan suggested that the Qing court release Wang Jingwei. In the third year of Xuantong (19 1 1), Wuchang Uprising broke out and the rule of the Qing Dynasty fell into a state of disintegration. In the first year of the Republic of China (19 12) 65438+10/2, Yi Shan and Liang Liang, Pu Yi, Tie Liang and other organizations organized the "Constitutional Maintenance of the Monarchy" (commonly known as the "Zongshe Party") to oppose the North-South peace talks and the abdication of the Qing emperor; 19 June 65438+ 10, the Zongshe Party issued a declaration, advocating the ousting of Yuan Shikai, the formation of a "wartime royal cabinet", with Tie Liang as the commander-in-chief, and the organization of troops loyal to the Qing Dynasty to fight the revolutionary army. In 65438+ 10/7, the Qing court held a command meeting to discuss Puyi's abdication, and the imperial clan Puyi strongly opposed it. On October 26th, 65438/KLOC-0, Liang Bi was injured by the revolutionary Peng. Two days later, he died, the Zongshe Party became timid, and the princes and relatives fled.

In February of the same year, Puyi abdicated and the Qing Dynasty perished. Encouraged by the wave speed in Chuan Dao, Shan Yan fled to Lushun with his family on February 6th, and continued to work hard for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. After coming to Lushun, Shan Yan threw himself into the arms of the Japanese and advocated "Sino-Japanese support". In July, Emperor Meiji of Japan died, held a big funeral, wore mourning clothes and fasted vegetarian food for three days, and was proud of the nobles in the Qing Dynasty.

In the third year of the Republic of China (19 14), Emperor Taishō ascended the throne. He braved the biting cold wind and boarded the Bai Yushan in Lushun to pay homage to the fallen soldiers of the Japanese invaders. In order to close the relationship with Chuan Dao Su Lang, he also gave his youngest daughter, 14-year-old Jin Jinhui (namely Kawashima Yoshiko) to Chuan Dao as an adopted daughter. Whenever Chuan Dao visits, he will lead the whole family to wait in line at the door, personally go up to hug and greet, and let the youngest side princess accompany Chuan Dao to drink quickly. From the first year of the Republic of China (19 12) in June, Yi Shan organized the "diligent king army" to cooperate with the "Manchu-Mongolian independence movement" instigated by the Japanese government. For the first time, Yi Shan prepared to launch an incident on September 20th in the first year of the Republic of China (19 12). He disguised a large number of arms purchased as farm tools and transported them from Gongzhuling to Inner Mongolia. When the arms arrived near Zhengjiatun, they were stopped by the army and all 47 cars of arms were confiscated. The first "Manchu independence movement" was stillborn. In the fourth year of the Republic of China (19 15), Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and Shan Yan thought that the time was ripe for restoration and began to engage in activities intensively. His plan is: the troops in Qian Shan, Liaoning Province will fight for the Yuan Dynasty, join forces with the Mongolian army in Bab Zab, win Beijing, establish a great kingdom "including Mongolia, Manchuria and North China", and then demand Puyi's accession to the throne. In order to succeed in the plan, Shanti used all his family wealth, mortgaged all his farmland, forests, gold mines, pastures and coal mines, and borrowed 6,543,800 yuan from Japanese chaebol Okura. With this fund, he recruited a large number of bandits, conducted military training, sharpened his knife and was ambitious. Just when Shanti thought that the restoration was just around the corner, Yuan Shikai died suddenly, and the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to beg Yuan" had lost its meaning. In order to avoid arousing China people's antipathy, the Japanese began to suppress good deeds and prevent them from acting rashly, and the Manchu-Mongolian Movement failed again.

This failure not only hit the spirit of kindness, but also led to his ruin and loss of financial resources to make a comeback. From then on, Shan Yan felt hopeless about the restoration and pinned his hopes on his children. He forbade his children to be officials in China, nor did he allow them to be human beings in China. After arriving in Lushun, he sent 38 children (male 2 1, female 17) abroad, except for three sons who went to England, Germany and Belgium respectively, the rest went to schools in Japan. When one of his daughters got married in Japan, she specially added a Japanese kimono to her dowry, warning him not to forget the kindness of Japan and to remember her support in the future.

On February 27th, 11th year of the Republic of China (1922), Shan Yan died of depression in Lushun at the age of 56. The body was transported back to the Prince Su cemetery in Beijing for burial. The deposed emperor Puyi rewarded Shan Yan's loyalty and posthumously conferred his "loyalty", whose full name was Prince Suzhong.
