The Tusi family of Cen in Guangxi is one of the most prominent families in Guangxi and even the whole country in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Guangxi Censhi Tusi Family

"Three Governors" not only influenced the history of Guangxi and China, but also influenced the history of Viet Nam.

First, Guangxi Cen Tusi family:

1. Cenyuan was a hereditary toast in Shanglin lawsuit.

Guangxi Censhi Tusi was originally a hereditary Tusi in Shanglin lawsuit. In A.D. 1666, the Qing government implemented the policy of "returning farmland to streams" in Guangxi Province, and the forest lawsuit inherited by Cen was changed to Xilin County. Therefore, Cen's family is called Xilin Cen's toast family.

2. The Tusi family of Cen in Xilin has preserved a huge ancient architectural complex of Cen in Ming and Qing Dynasties;

Xilincen Tusi's home is located in Nalao Village, Nalao Township, about 50 kilometers east of Xilin County. Up to now, Nalao Village still retains a huge ancient architectural complex of Cen's family in Ming and Qing Dynasties: Gongbaofu, Nanyang Academy, Zengshou Pavilion, Cen's Ancestral Hall and so on. 1994 Xilinsen ancient building complex was rated as a cultural relic protection unit in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Because Xilin Cen's toast family is located in Nalao Village, Nalao Township, Xilin Cen's toast family is also called Nalao Cen's toast family.

3. Xilincen Tusi family is one of the most prominent families in Guangxi;

It is this long-standing Xilincen Tusi family that has produced 32 officials with more than five grades and 45 officials with more than nine grades in history. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were three famous governors in Guangxi: Cen Yu Ying, Cen Yubao and Cen Chunxuan. The Tusi family of Xilin Cen became one of the most prominent families in Guangxi and even the whole country because there were three governors in the late Qing Dynasty: Cen, Cen Yubao and Cen Chunxuan.

2. Governor Yungui-Cen Yu Ying:

1. Life of Cen Yu Ying, Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou:

Cen Yu Ying was born on June 26th, 1829, and his father was Cen Cangsong. Cen Yu Ying has six brothers and sisters, among whom Cen Yubao, acting governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, is his half-brother, and Cen Chunxuan, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, is his son. Cen Yu Ying successively served as magistrate of Yiliang County, magistrate of Chengjiang, political envoy of Yunnan, governor of Yunnan and governor of Guizhou, and finally became governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Prince Taifu by the Qing government. Cen was the first governor of Guangxi Cen Tusi.

2. Yu Ying is an anti-French star;

When Cen was young, he participated in jintian uprising in Guiping, Guangxi, Hui uprising in Yunnan, Du Wenxiu uprising in Yunnan, and Miao uprising (Tao Xinchun and Tao Sanchun). The most famous thing is that Cen also participated in the Sino-French War. Like Feng Zicai and Liu Yongfu, he was a famous anti-French fighter in the Qing Dynasty.

3. Cen Yu Ying strongly supported Liu Yongfu in fighting against the French invaders;

After the Sino-French War broke out, Cen Yu Ying was ordered to lead his troops from Yunnan to Vietnam to fight against the French invaders and control the troops outside the customs. During the Sino-French War, Cen Yu Ying advocated that we should not abandon the crossing, and that "the border can be divided and the north cannot be cut". And vigorously funded and supported Liu Yongfu's fight against the French invaders, secretly helped Liu Yongfu to pay 5,000 taels of silver and 22,000 taels of silver as wages every month, and funded more than 20 fireworks in Liu Yongfu (all made by Yunnan Army).

Three. Acting Governor Yungui-Cen Yubao:

1. In the Sino-French War, Cen Yubao also made outstanding contributions:

Cen Yubao, the younger brother of Cen, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, the eldest son of Cen and the third son of Cen Yubao. Cen Yubao followed his brother, Governor Cen Yuying of Yungui, to participate in the Sino-French War. In Vietnam, Xuanguang led the 10 battalion to fight against the French invaders and won a great victory in Lintao. According to the Draft of Qing History, "Cen Yubao, who moved from Yu Ying to Yunnan, made the greatest contribution and was named" Batulu ". After that, Cen Yubao became the ambassador of Yunnan, acting as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Cen Yubao was the second governor of the Tusi family of Cen in Guangxi.

2. Cen Yubao supported the Reform Movement of 1898;

Cen Yubao's political views are quite different from those of his brother, Cen Yu Ying. He thinks that to make China strong, he must support reform. It is precisely because of Cen Yubao's support for the Reform Movement that the Qing government did not actually award the title of Governor Yungui of Cen Yubao, and Cen Yubao's official career was only acting as Governor Yungui.

4. Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi-Cen Chunxuan:

1. Cen Chunxuan advocated political reform and reform;

Cen Chunxuan, son of Cen Yu Ying, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, is nephew of Cen Yubao, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Cen Chunxuan, like his uncle Cen Yubao, supported the Reform Movement and reform. Moreover, Cen Chunxuan was luckier than his uncle Cen Yubao, who was promoted to Guangdong by Emperor Guangxu because he advocated political reform and reform.

2. When Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Cen Chunxuan escorted Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu to xi 'an;

Everyone knows that Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China in 1900, and everyone knows that Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to xi 'an. So who escorted Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu to xi 'an? That's right, it's Cen Chunxuan from the Tusi family of Cen in Guangxi. When Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, there was chaos inside and outside Beijing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty. People all over the country were worried and vacillating, but Cen Chunxuan boldly led the army into Beijing as a "diligent king".

3. During the Republic of China, Cen Chunxuan devoted himself to the national protection movement:

(1), Cen Chunxuan successively served as governor of Shaanxi, governor of Shanxi, governor of Sichuan and governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Cen Chunxuan was the third governor of the Cen Tusi family in Guangxi. Cen Chunxuan, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was already one of the highest-ranking ministers in the Qing Dynasty, ranking second. Cen Chunxuan was called the "official butcher" because he vigorously promoted the New Deal and punished corrupt officials during his term of office, and was also called "Southern Cen and Northern Yuan" with Yuan Shikai, governor of Zhili. However, Cen Chunxuan's career did not stop because of a governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

(2) In the early years of the Republic of China, Cen Chunxuan supported Sun Yat-sen to launch the second revolution and served as the marshal of Yuan Jun provinces. 19 16 Cen Chunxuan devoted himself to the national defense movement, served as commander of the national defense capital and acting commander of the military affairs institute, and later served as chairman of the Guangdong law-enforcement military government, leading the North-South peace talks. It can be said that Cen Chunxuan, the chieftain of Cen clan in Guangxi, was not only brilliant in Qing Dynasty, but also brilliant in the Republic of China.

5. Historical evaluation of "one door, three masters" of Guangxi Cen Tusi family;

1. The Tusi family of Cen in Guangxi has not only had "one supervisor and three supervisors", but also made great achievements. Cen Yu Ying, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, put down the rebellion and uprising and directed the Sino-French war; Cen Yubao served as Governor Yungui, participated in the Sino-French War, made great contributions in Lintao, and supported the political reform. Cen Chunxuan, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, supported the Reform Movement and Reform. The diligent King of Beijing escorted Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu to flee, supported the Second Revolution and joined the national protection movement.

2. In particular, Cen Yu Ying, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Cen Yubao, the acting governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, were able to bravely resist the law when the country was invaded by foreign countries and the nation was in great danger. But it's a pity and funny that after the Sino-French War, Vietnam was found not to belong to the Qing Dynasty. Although the Qing government won the Sino-French land war, it automatically gave up its suzerainty over Annan.
