甲午战争爆发后,身为毅军总统的宋庆,一直是清军副帅（前期帮办北洋军务,后期帮办东征军务）。平壤之战后陆战之历次重大战役,他几乎无一不与,虽胜少败多,但他以古稀之年“自请赴敌”奉命誓师后,英勇善战,敢打大仗硬仗,并亲赴前敌督战,“誓心杀贼”,败而能振,其战绩远在同期诸将之上,连其对手日军对这位“白发将军”也十分敬畏。但是,多年以来,某些中国近代史论著对其抗敌爱国不仅未予肯定,甚至说他“弃城先逃”,是个胆小怯敌的懦夫。这种论断违背了历史事实,是有欠公允的。我们应本着实事求是的态度,给予正确的评价。 甲午战争中,宋庆作为爱国将领与主战派代表,表现出强烈的爱国精神。 1.“自请当前敌” 日本侵略者在朝鲜挑衅后,宋庆闻“倭人渝盟,韩村被扰。”十分愤慨,认为:“凡在戎行,宜疆场之效命。”并一再向李鸿章请求赴朝“助剿”。而李鸿章却寄希望于列强调停,对宋庆抗敌要求不予理睬。有史料载:军事初起之时,宋庆“忠勇愤发,请赴前敌,”而“阻了李鸿章之壅遏。”尽管如此,宋庆却一直“枕戈待旦,伏枥忘衰”,身在旅顺,而心系前敌。平壤之战后,宋庆准备直接上折请战,值光绪帝为扭转战局,排除李鸿章的一再干扰,不仅命宋庆率部出征,且降旨派为帮办北洋军务。宋庆终于实现了赴前线杀敌之夙愿? After the Sino-Japanese War broke out, Song Qing, who served as President of the Yi Army, has been the deputy commander of the Qing Army. After almost two major battles in the battle of Pyongyang after the war, he was almost always defeated and defeated. Although he was victorious in the seventies, he was brave and fought bravely and dared to fight the big battle The former enemy supervised, “Vows to kill the thief,” defeated and able to Vibration, its record far in the same period above all the Japanese, even against its opponents of the “white hair” are also very awesome. However, for some years now, some of China’s recent history books have not only not affirmed its opposition to the enemy and its patriotism. They have even said that he “fled the city and fleeing the city” is a coward who is cowardly and cowardly. It is not fair to disagree with this historical fact. We should give a correct assessment based on the attitude of seeking truth from facts. In the Sino-Japanese War, Song Qing, as a patriotic general and representative of the main war party, showed a strong patriotism. 1. “Self-Inviting the Current Enemy” After the provocations of the Japanese aggressors in North Korea, Song Qingwen was “very much in displeasure with the Wutai Union and Hancun.” He said: “Everyone who lives in military service should not be killed.” He repeatedly requested from Li Hongzhang Go DPRK “to help suppress.” Li Hung-chang, however, placed its hopes on the mediation of the powers and ignored the demands of Song Qing’s rival. There are historical records that when the military first got up, Song Qing “loyally and voluntarily sent out invitations to the ex-enemy,” and “blocked the suppression of Li Hongzhang.” Nonetheless, Song Qing has always been " Lushun, and the heart of the enemy. After the war in Pyongyang, Song Qing was ready to go straight to battle. The value Emperor Guangxu reversed the fighting situation and ruled out repeated interferences of Li Hung-chang. He not only ordered Song and Qing to expedition, but also downgraded the Peiyang military affairs for the Gangs. Song Qing finally reached the front line to kill the enemy’s wish?
