Chapter 62 3. Huang Pengnian, who was dying of illness, risked his life to persuade Zhang Zhidong not to do Westernization

Soon after Zhang Zhidong arrived in Wuchang, the governor of Hubei was replaced by Tan Jixun from Kui Bin.Tan Jixun, who studied the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" diligently following the teachings of sages since he was a child, and devoted himself to his success in the imperial examinations, is a native of Liuyang, Hunan. Tan Jixun was elected at the age of 27, and Jinshi at the age of 37. He was in charge of the household distribution department. He was released to Gongqin Taoism in Gansu at the age of 55. He was still only a mid-level official with a fourth-rank rank until he was 61.Just when Tan Jixun was lamenting that his official career was not going well, he unexpectedly had a lucky star in his old age, and his official career was prosperous.This year, he was promoted to Gansu inspector, the second year he was promoted to Gansu governor, and this year he was promoted to Hubei governor.In just seven years, Tan Jixun rose straight to the position of a feudal official in a province, and he was transferred from the bitter cold and remote northwest to Huguang.As a native of Hunan who has been around for seven years, Tan Jixun thinks that smashing his bones to the court's kindness is not enough to repay.

After the two of them sat down in the very delicately furnished small living room, Tan Jixun said humbly: "I don't know why Mr. Zhang asked me to come here." "Master Tan," Zhang Zhidong also called very politely. "The site of the iron factory has been finally selected. It is at the foot of Guishan Mountain. I think the place is very spacious. In the future, another gun factory can be built next to it." Tan Jixun knew that Zhang Zhidong wanted to set up an iron factory in Hubei, and he disapproved in his heart.First, he sticks to the rules and has deep prejudices against foreigners. He doesn't think that the way of foreigners is the only way to become rich and powerful.China is a country of propriety and righteousness, and it still has to follow the effective methods of clearing officials, strengthening customs, rewarding farmers and mulberry, and reducing taxes that have been effective in the past dynasties. That is a broad road that benefits the country and the people.Foreigners only value power and disregard righteousness. That can only win people's mouths, but cannot convince people's hearts. After all, it is not a strategy for long-term stability.Secondly, when he was in Gansu, he knew the inside story of Zuo Zongtang's establishment of the Lanzhou Weaving Layout, Machinery Bureau, Manufacturing Bureau and other Westernization, with large capital but little effect, chaotic management, and huge losses year after year.Zuo Zongtang was a hero of ZTE, and he recovered Xinjiang for the imperial court, and he made great contributions.He dared not criticize publicly, but told his colleagues in private that foreign affairs can only be done by foreigners in their country, and we cannot do it in China.When he came to Wuchang, he heard that Zhang Zhidong was going to carry out Westernization in Hubei, and he was anxious. He wanted to pour some cold water on the hot-headed governor, but after thinking about it, Zhang Zhidong was a stubborn man who had just made great military exploits. People who are confident and favored by the Queen Mother must not listen, so they dismissed this idea.I just decided in my heart: let Zhang Zhidong make troubles, as long as it doesn't hurt Hubei, I, an old man, can't sing against him, let alone share a stage with him that is going to ruin the stage.

Tan Jixun said with a very uncomfortable smile: "Okay, when will work start?" "It's still too early to leave the work! The land is still in the hands of Guiyuan Temple and hasn't been bought yet. After buying it, we have to build embankments, fill it up, and buy machines to install it. It's a good thing that we can start construction a year later." Alas, you are not the governor of Taiping, but why are you making such a fuss?Tan Jixun thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Okay, when the work starts, I will lead all the priests in Hubei to congratulate!"

"Congratulations are for the future." Zhang Zhidong never likes to go around in circles when talking to his subordinates, because he has too many things to do, and he doesn't want to waste time in this kind of empty committee, so he stated straightforwardly: "At the moment, I have an urgent matter. Ask Master Tan for help." "What's the matter, my lord can just tell you." Tan Jixun, who has been a feudal official for a long time, has roughly guessed Zhang Zhidong's so-called "urgent task". "To be honest, I want to ask Mr. Tan for help."

Looking at Zhang Zhidong's two eager eyes, Tan Jixun wanted to say something but couldn't do it, so he had to deal with it and asked: "How much money do you want?" Four hundred thousand taels.Zhang Zhidong was about to report this number, when he thought about it, Tan was more than ten years older than himself, and he was two subjects earlier in Jinshi. He was a real senior, and he should not be treated as an ordinary governor, so he should declare it item by item. show respect.So he changed his words: "There are several major projects that are urgently needed to start. One is to buy land, which costs 23,000 taels; second, to build embankments, which costs 58,000 taels; One thousand taels, and Daye Iron Mine and Maanshan Coal Mine require one hundred thousand taels each, plus an iron-smelting furnace deposit of sixty thousand taels. These five sums add up to a total of three hundred and eighty-seven thousand taels. Ask for four hundred thousand taels of silver."

Sure enough, it was about money.Tan Jixun was deeply worried about his misfortune.As soon as Tan Jixun arrived in Wuchang, the first thing he did was to check the money in the treasury.There is still 500,000 taels left on the book, and it seems possible to take 400,000 taels out of it, but in fact it is impossible.For one thing, half of the money on the accounts is numbers, not white money, which is still in tax cards, dental offices, and county offices in various places.Since the war, it has become a habit that the provinces owe money to the central government, and the subordinates of each province owe money to the province.The silver taels they should pay are intentionally held back for several months and half a year, and they are placed in the bank to earn interest. This interest money becomes personal profit in the personal pocket.This trend has become an open secret in officialdom.Second, the two hundred thousand taels of silver stored in the vassal treasury have been handed out from all directions, and they have to be distributed immediately.For example, the relief funds for the flood in Honghu Lake, the relief funds for the drought in De’an, the funds for plague medicine in Shinan and Yichang, and the reinforcement funds for the Yangtze River flood embankment from Jianli to Jiayu. These should have been distributed two months ago, just because Kui Bin has been transferred away, and Huang Pengnian, the governor of the feudal clan, is seriously ill and unable to serve as director, waiting anxiously for Tan Jixun to be dispatched as soon as possible after he takes office.The only 200,000-odd thousand real silver left in the treasury is a special fund for life-saving, how can it be handed over to Zhang Zhidong to mess around!How to deal with this governor who prefers to make great achievements?For a moment, the old man was so anxious that his back was wet for a while.

He decided to tell the truth.After reporting the actual situation of Hubei's treasury in detail, Tan Jixun said: "My lord runs iron factories and gun factories. This is a good thing for a rich country and a strong army. Hubei should fully support it, and the lower officials should also fully cooperate. It's just that Hubei is poor and disasters There are too many, and I really can't come up with a tael of extra silver. The next official will ask the vassal office tomorrow to send the account books and urgent letters asking for relief from all over the country. Please examine it. If the next official has half a lie, he is willing to accept it. Adult punishment."

There are only more than 500,000 taels of silver in the Hubei treasury, which is similar to the amount of silver stored in the Guangdong treasury when Zhang Zhidong took office as Governor of Guangdong.Zhang Zhidong believed this.But half of the silver was not in the warehouse, and there was an urgent need to transfer money everywhere, Zhang Zhidong was skeptical.It was also inconvenient for him to go against Hubei Fufan and go to check it out for himself, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't give away the account book, I think Mr. Tan won't tell lies. The money in and out of Hubei will be clear in the near future."

Zhang Zhidong's lukewarm words made Tan Jixun feel uneasy again, thinking to himself: This is a tough character that is difficult to deal with.Tan Jixun has been an official for a lifetime, and he has never contradicted his superiors. What's more, people like Zhang Zhidong can't be offended. The only way to ease the cold scene is: "My lord, in the past, Zuo Hou ran a manufacturing bureau in Lanzhou. The Bureau is all allocated special funds from the General Administration of the Imperial Court, and the amount is very large." Zhang Zhidong understood the governor's implication, and said with a sneer, "The iron factory will need several million taels of silver in the future. Can Hubei afford it? Can Hubei and Hubei afford it? Of course it is a special fund from the imperial court. But the iron factory is located in Hanyang, so it is A major event in Hubei Province. Does your Hubei Province just sit back and ignore it, and don’t get rid of it?"

Zhang Zhidong's aggressive aura made the old and cautious governor of Hubei quite afraid, thinking carefully that the money in the treasury was not his own property, so he refused to give it to him, offended the governor, and it would be difficult to get along with him in the future.His character has always been to calm things down, not to mention that the establishment of the iron factory was approved by the court, so Zhang Zhidong is also reasonable in principle.After hesitating for a while, Tan Jixun finally gave in: "What your lord said is that the establishment of the iron factory in Hubei is also a matter of earning a lot of face for Hubei. I will allocate half of the existing real silver in the treasury, disaster relief funds and flood control funds in various places." Go on, the remaining half, probably no less than 100,000, will be given to the adults! Although it is far from enough, the embankment and filling works of the Guishan factory site can start first."

Zhang Zhidong thought that the old man would refuse to take even one tael of silver, but he didn't expect to agree to offer 100,000 yuan in the blink of an eye.He turned his anger into joy and said, "Master Tan, thank you." The next morning, Zhang Zhidong was about to ask Zhao Maochang to go to the Governor's Yamen to get the money transfer slip, but Zhou Xunju rushed in and said: "Huang Fantai came to the gate of the gate, and fell down as soon as he got out of the sedan chair. He carried his back into the Beiming Pavilion. He said that if there is something urgent, he will see you immediately." Wasn't Huang Pengnian bedridden for several months and terminally ill? If he has something urgent to come to see me in person at the supervisory office?Zhang Zhidong hurriedly put down the pen in his hand, and immediately ran all the way to Beiming Pavilion. Beiming Pavilion is a small pavilion in the north of the Supervision Office, surrounded by some flowers and trees, it is a good place to enjoy the cool and rest in summer.It was the scorching heat, and the three towns of Wuhan were as hot as a big steamer. Huang Pengnian, a seventy-two-year-old veteran of the feudal clan, had been seriously ill for more than half a year and could not go to the yamen to do business. Someone sent it to his house and read it to him.After he explained a few words weakly, he brought it back to the relevant personnel to follow his instructions.In the past two months, he didn't go out the door, only occasionally sitting in his small courtyard, looking at the leaves and the sky.Yesterday afternoon, after Tan Jixun came out from the supervisory office, he went to his home, first to visit, and second, to tell him about Zhang Zhidong's request for help from Hubei to set up an iron factory and the promise to give him 100,000 yuan.When Huang Pengnian heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath. It took him a while to pant and say to Tan Jixun, "Zhang Zhidong is messing around, I can't give him money." Tan Jixun said in embarrassment: "I have already promised him, and it is not easy to take it back." Huang Pengnian said: "I will refuse tomorrow. If you don't be tough the first time, he will be more demanding in the future. We don't care about the court's money being spent by him, and Hubei's money can't be allowed to be thrown into the water." Tan Jixun was reluctant at first, and it would be good to let this stubborn old man stop him, but Huang Pengnian is so seriously ill, can he get out? "The old Fang Bo is not in good health, let me convey it!" "No, the old man has to go in person." After Huang Pengnian finished speaking, he was out of breath.He closed his eyes and meditated without speaking, and the governor quietly withdrew. It turned out that Huang Pengnian, who was born in the Imperial Academy, was a die-hard opponent of Westernization. During the big debate on whether to open the Tongwenguan, he firmly stood on the side of the university scholar Woren, who "founded the country and respected etiquette and righteousness". Do not pursue power and strategy; the fundamental plan lies in people's hearts and not in skills." This set is deeply rooted, and they believe that Wuren is the pillar minister of Anbang's governance. He would turn China into a barbaric country like the barbarians and Di Di, who were irrational in their arguments. Huang Pengnian had always been opposed to the Westernization of Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others.Huang Pengnian is upright and upright, with clean conduct.He runs the family rigorously, and his only son, Huang Guojin, was admitted to Hanlin in his twenties, and is now working as an editor in Hanyuan.Both father and son were born as ministers of poetry, which admired the officials and scholars.Relying on this hope, Huang Pengnian decided to enter the supervisory office with a seriously ill body, and he did not hesitate to die to dissuade this wayward young man, at least the one hundred thousand silver. Huang Pengnian deliberately ate a few more slices of fish for dinner, and when it was dark, he closed his eyes and forced himself to recharge his energy so that he could go out to do important things tomorrow.The next morning, he drank a large bowl of thick ginseng soup from outside the Guan.After drinking the ginseng soup, he felt that his strength was much better, and he was able to walk into the big green cloth gauze sedan chair by himself.Taking advantage of the coolness of the morning, bearers carried him to the supervisor's office.Halfway through the walk, he felt fine, but then he gradually became uncomfortable.The sun was rising higher and higher, and the temperature was also getting higher and higher. Although it was a summer sedan chair with a gauze roof, it was surrounded by green cloth, so the air could not flow smoothly, and the old man was uncomfortably hot inside.In order to keep him from being jolted, the sedan chair moved extremely slowly, and it was already late in the morning when we reached the gate of the Superintendent's Office.The bearer opened the sedan chair curtain, and just as he stepped out of the sedan chair, a wave of heat hit his face. He felt dizzy and passed out at the gate.The bearer hurriedly picked him up, and the accompanying servant held the medicine bag prepared in advance, and at the same time yelled at the supervisor to come out to meet him. When Zhang Zhidong came to Beiming Pavilion, Huang Pengnian, who was as thin as a stick, was lying on a rattan armchair, the porter was fanning him gently, and the servant was feeding him soup.He reluctantly swallowed two mouthfuls, opened his eyes, and saw Zhang Zhidong standing aside, struggling to get up and salute.Zhang Zhidong hurriedly took a step forward, stopped him and said, "Old Fang Bo, don't move, is the situation better now?" "It's much better." Huang Pengnian replied, his voice was not much thicker than a gossamer. You are so sick, why do you still come to the supervisor's office in person?Zhang Zhidong was puzzled.He pulled another rattan armchair, sat down next to Huang Pengnian, and asked softly: "There is iced lotus seed soup in the office, do you want some?" Huang Pengnian waved his hand.The servant said: "Master Huang doesn't eat iced food even on hot days." Zhang Zhidong asked again: "Is hot tea okay?" Huang Pengnian nodded.The yamen servants of the supervisory office hurriedly brought hot tea, Huang Pengnian drank a couple of sips, his breath seemed to come back, and a little color gradually appeared on his gray wrinkled face.After a while, Huang Pengnian felt much better, so he waved to the servant: "You all go away, I want to tell Mr. Zhang something important." The servants left the Beiming Pavilion with the bearers, and the servants of the supervisory office also left of their own accord.Only Huang Pengnian and Zhang Zhidong were left in Beiming Pavilion.A gust of southerly wind blows, and the peonies and roses blooming outside the pavilion sway slightly, and a few bee-like birds are attached to the long weeping willows, pecking and pecking on the leaves incessantly.Huang Pengnian sighed and said: "I haven't been to the governor's office for more than half a year. When I came last time, the wicker was all bare." Zhang Zhidong said: "After the old Fang Bo is safe, please come here often to sit and chat." Huang Pengnian's face darkened, and he said, "I'm not going to get better, this is probably the last time I come to the supervisory office." "Why does old Fang Bo think so? Take a good rest, and you will get better every day." Seeing the complexion of the vassal opposite, Zhang Zhidong also knew that he would not live long, but he still comforted him like this. Huang Pengnian shook his head lightly, but did not speak. "Old Fang Bo, in such a hot day, you don't have to come to the Superintendent's Office in person, no matter what the big event is. You can ask me to visit you at the mansion!" "There is an important matter that I must personally come. Mr. Zhang, I am a dying person, I have no worries, and I am not afraid of offending you." Huang Pengnian stopped here, feeling lucky in his chest Then he said, "I heard that my lord wants to set up an iron factory and a gun factory in Hanyang. Of course, my lord's intentions are good, but I want to say some harsh advice to my lord: please get rid of this idea as soon as possible, and don't do such a waste of people and money." Stupid things, Westernization cannot be done in China, and there is no need to do it. Adults have read poetry and books, so they naturally know how to govern China. We should use the ancient methods passed down from generation to generation by sages. We must not let foreigners ruin my reputation in China for thousands of years. The syllabus is regular." It turned out to be for this matter!Zhang Zhidong felt displeased immediately.If it were someone else, he would definitely scold him loudly.But right now, this old man is risking his death to come to the supervisory office in person under the scorching sun. If he wants to say this in person, he can't blame him for disregarding his own life and death!What's more, "Famous Teaching and Compendium" is also the highest standard in Zhang Zhidong's heart. "Don't let foreigners break this highest standard" is also his wish.He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Old Fang Bo, you can speak directly if you have anything to say, and I, Zhang, will not blame any honest advice that is beneficial to the country and society, no matter how harsh it is." "This old man knows that your lord was the mainstay of the capital, upholding justice and supporting the imperial court. Those memorabilia of your lord are really magnificent masterpieces that have lasted through the ages, and they are worthy of being the leader of the Imperial Court." Zhang Zhidong felt very comfortable hearing these words. "The old man also knows that the number of adults is a learning platform. Wherever the supervisors are, they reward the students, follow the guidance, establish academies, and benefit the scholars. These merits of the adults are not praised by the students today! The old man has read them in the academies of several provinces. I noticed that they were reading the "Bibliography Questions and Answers" written by adults, and used it as a guide for studying." Zhang Zhidong was very happy to hear these words. Panting for breath, the old uncle spoke again: "I also know that when my lord released Jin Fu, he banned poppies, revived farming and mulberry, inspected the treasury, and impeached corrupt officials. These things made me even more admirable. My lord is now the governor of the two lakes. It is really a blessing for the thirty million people in the two lakes. I miss you It is advisable to rectify the official circles of the two lakes with the bloody spirit of the past, revive the old Huguang granary, cultivate the students of the two lakes, and do practical things for the two lakes in a down-to-earth manner. Don't play with the ostentation of Westernization. The 100,000 taels of silver promised by Tan Futai yesterday, the old man urges you Don't take it, it's the life-saving money that the victims of the fire and water in Hubei are looking forward to! My lord has accumulated evil virtues, and you must not waste it on such injustices as Westernization..." Huang Pengnian was about to continue, when suddenly his eyes rolled white, and Zhang Zhidong was so anxious that he called out to the servants of the Fantai Yamen.The servant and the bearer rushed over, slapped the man and stuck him in the mouth, while adjusting the medicine and prying open the corner of his mouth to force it down.Looking at all this, Zhang Zhidong was really anxious and pitiful, angry and hated, thousands of resentments were clogging his chest like cotton wool, and he couldn't say a word. What more could he say?Are you saying that the old man is ignorant and ignorant?This person is on the right track to learn rich five cars and two lists, and his articles and poems are full of boxes and baskets.Are you saying that the old man is ignorant of worldly affairs?This person has served as governor of several provinces for 30 years, and his political reputation is very good.Is it all nonsense to say the old man?Among them, there are many things that are remarkable and can be warned.Are you saying that the old man is going his own way?The majority of people in the capital and the provinces hold his view.Are you saying that the old man is for personal gain?This person's words are dignified and upright, because the people of the two lakes did not say a word about himself.He used the corpse of a dying patient to remonstrate, what else can you say about him!Can you still move the one hundred thousand taels of silver?Zhang Zhidong has been an official for thirty years, and this is the first time he has met such a person.He was afraid that the old man would continue to talk, if he died in Beiming Pavilion without breath, how bad it would be if it got out!Seeing Lao Fantai slowly come back to his senses, Zhang Zhidong felt a little relieved.He took Huang Pengnian's cold and stiff hands with both hands, and said with an extremely sincere expression: "I am very touched by the old Fang Bo's trip. What you said is not unreasonable. I will keep it in my heart. Hubei Fan The 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury have not even been withdrawn. According to what you said, no money is needed, and it will be allocated to the disaster area and the flood control embankment of the Yangtze River as soon as possible. You can rest assured and go home, take good care of your health, In a few days, I will come to the house to pay my respects." After all, without waiting for Huang Pengnian to answer, he asked the bearer to carry it.Zhang Zhidong personally escorted him to the outside of the gate and watched him sit in the sedan chair.It wasn't until the sedan chair had walked dozens of steps away that he carried his heavy legs back to the signing room. How to do it?Of course, you can't listen to Huang Pengnian's nonsense words to close down the iron factory, but the one hundred thousand silver that you are about to get is not available, where can you raise the money at the moment?In desperation, he had no choice but to think about military pay. There are four Lvying towns in the Lianghu area, namely Zhentan Town, Xiangyang Town, Yichang Town and Yongzhou Town.Before the Jiaqing Dynasty, the national treasury was abundant, and all military payments and military supplies for the green battalion were borne by the imperial court. The governor was responsible for supervising the town officials in the provinces under his jurisdiction, spending according to requirements, and regularly checking the payment of salaries.After Daoguang, money was scarce, and the green camps were often in arrears, so they had to ask the local government, and the local government had to take part of the land silver turned over to the court to supply the green camps stationed in the province.After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was pacified, Jiangnan Lianyong was disbanded, and many people entered the green camp.The green camp is bloated, and the demand for wages is becoming more and more insufficient, and it is even more blatant to demand from the local government.Therefore, the governor has to withdraw a considerable amount of money and food from the treasury of the province under his jurisdiction every year to supply the military camp.This sum of money is in the hands of the governor, but it is also stretched to make ends meet. Zhang Zhidong asked the official of the General Administration who was in charge of this matter to bring over the account books, and after a whole night of calculations, he managed to squeeze out 120,000 taels of silver from the green camp in Yichang Town, Hubei.The next day, Cheng Wenbing, the admiral of Hubei Land Road, was summoned to talk to him about it.Admiral Cheng complained endlessly, full of grievances, until Zhang Zhidong repeatedly promised that the money from the navy yamen would be replenished immediately after the appropriation of money from the navy yamen, and Admiral Cheng reluctantly agreed. He paid 23,000 taels of silver to Guiyuan Temple and bought the land in Guishan.Pay another 60,000 taels of silver to Liu Ruifen, the ambassador to the UK, and order two iron-making furnaces.More than 30,000 silver was left, 10,000 was reserved for embankment and earth filling, 10,000 was given to Daye Iron Mine, and 10,000 was given to Ma'anshan.Although the three sites can be started, but for the iron ore and coal mines, this is like a drop in the bucket and does not have much effect. He thought of his brother-in-law, Lu Chuanlin, who was the governor of Shaanxi. Why don't he ask his brother-in-law to borrow some money from the Shaanxi treasury?Over the years, although Uncle Lang's letters have been close, the public and private are still clearly distinguished.As the governor of the lake, but borrowing money from his brother-in-law, it is difficult to speak.However, there is no other way to think about it, only this one feasible way.He bit the bullet and stated all this to his brother-in-law, asking for help; in order not to embarrass his brother-in-law, he was willing to pay interest to the bank and borrow as much as he could.Twenty days later he received a letter from Lu Chuanlin.My brother-in-law was sympathetic to his painstaking efforts, but as a governor, I couldn't lend money to my brother-in-law from the treasury, so I had to ask some of his friends in the business world to help, and raised 150,000 taels of silver, and put three gold flower bills in the letter to send someone special Sent from Xi'an.With the 150,000 taels of silver, although the urgent need can be temporarily relieved, compared with Zhang Zhidong's great ambitions, it is still a mere amount.There has been no news about the appropriation of the Navy Yamen, and Huang Pengnian, who has been ill for a long time, has passed away.His son Huang Guojin, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, rushed from Beijing to Wuchang to pay his respects.Huang Guojin was heartbroken over his father's death and didn't think about eating or drinking for more than ten days.During the day, he was busy on his knees to greet the visitors from all walks of life, and at night he slept on straw mats in the mourning hall.Huang Guojin, who was usually pampered and weak, couldn't bear this torture, and suddenly fell ill, but he still insisted on continuing to perform the duties of a filial son.During a great memorial service, Huang Guojin went to the mourning hall with his sick body. Looking at the coffin of his father who was about to be buried in the earth, he burst into tears, out of control, and unexpectedly fainted in the mourning hall.By the time the doctor came to rescue him, he had already followed in his father's footsteps. This time, the funeral in the Huang Mansion became even more tragic and lively.Officials and folks in the three towns of Wuhan are everywhere extolling Huang Guojin, a filial son who is rare in ancient and modern times.All major academies use this vivid textbook to educate their students, and parents of various families also seize this rare opportunity to educate their children and grandchildren.Zhang Zhidong, who regards the three cardinal guides and five constant principles as the foundation of his life, was deeply moved by Huang Guojin's filial piety, and also knew the importance of using it to educate customs.He went to Huang Guojin's altar to offer sacrifices as the governor's relative, and joined the court with Tan Jixun, asking for special sympathy, and handing it over to the National History Museum for a biography.Originally, I was very disgusted with Huang Pengnian's opposition to Westernization, but I also forgave him because he had such a filial son.
