清政府为了筹建卢汉铁路,举借外债。在选择来源问题上,张之洞极其主观地认为比利时借款无风险,坚决主张向比利时借款,盛宣怀以迁就的态度放弃自己的主张。中比签署借款合同后,比利时在俄、法两国的支持下,不断提出修改合同的要求。在艰难的交涉中,盛宣怀和李鸿章都有明显的分歧,最终无法形成有效的应对方案,被迫使接受比利时的苛刻条件。 Qing government in order to build Luhan railway, borrow foreign debt. On the issue of the source of choice, Zhang Zhidong, in its most subjective belief that there is no risk in borrowing in Belgium, strongly advocates borrowing from Belgium, and Sheng Xuanhuai gave up his position with accommodation. After China and Belgium signed the loan contract, Belgium, with the support of Russia and France, constantly proposed to amend the contract. In difficult negotiations, Sheng Xuanhuai and Li Hung-chan clearly disagreed. Eventually, they failed to form an effective response plan and were forced to accept the harsh conditions in Belgium.
