第二次鸦片战争期间主持广州战事的两广总督叶名琛,是马克思笔下的两个中国人其中的一个,也是清代中国的高级官员被外敌掳走的唯一的一个总督大员。广州陷落,总督被掳,国人把种种怨愤自然地加到叶名琛的头上,文人们更把他讥为“六不将军”。然而,马克思站在国际主义的立场上却给叶很高的评价。叶名琛到底如何评价?他是否“不战不和不守”?他又为何甘做英人俘虏?这实际上是些未解之谜。本文对这些问号做出了说明。 The second Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who presided over the Guangzhou War during the Second Opium War was one of two Chinese people under Marx’s writings and the only one Governor-General who was abducted by foreign enemies during the Qing dynasty. The fall of Guangzhou and the captivity of the Governor, the Chinese people naturally put all their grudges on the head of Ye Mingchen, whom the literati even more ridiculed as “six non-generals.” However, Marx gave Yeh high appraisal on the stand of internationalism. In fact, how does Ye Mingchen evaluate whether he “does not fight unjustly?” Why is he willing to be captive of British people? This is actually a mystery. This article explains these questions.
