张鸣岐主政广西时期,中国正值内忧外患时期,为有效地应对西方列强对中国西南的侵略,他采取了一系列的军事变革措施,包括调整军队编制、建立近代军事学堂、发展近代电报系统和铁路网络。这些举措顺应了世界近代军事变革潮流,大幅提升了近代广西的防卫能力,有效地维护了中国西南边疆的安全。 During the period of Guangxi being dominated by Zhang Mingqi, China was at a time of internal and external threats. To effectively deal with the Western powers’ aggression against southwestern China, he took a series of military reform measures, including adjusting military establishment, establishing modern military academy, developing modern telegraph system and Railway network. These measures conform to the tide of military revolution in the modern world and have greatly enhanced the defense capability of Guangxi in modern times and effectively safeguarded the security in the southwest border of China.
