淮军产生于十九世纪六十年代,直到这个世纪末才由“新军”所替代,其存在长达四十年之久。它作为清季一支具有极浓厚“私军”色彩的军队,在中国近代史上,具有深远的影响。近十年来,特别是自1986年《安徽史学》开辟淮军研究专栏以后,国内史学界对淮军的研究较之以前有了可喜的进展,成绩斐然。本文拟就对淮军的一些主要问题的研究作一述评。 The Huai Army originated in the 1860s and was not replaced by the “New Army” until the turn of the century. It has existed for over 40 years. As an army with a very strong “private army” color in the Qing Dynasty, it has a profound influence in the modern history of China. In the past ten years, especially since the opening of the column of the Anhwei Army in Anhui History Study in 1986, the study of the Huai Army in the domestic historiography has made remarkable progress compared with the previous one. This article intends to comment on some of the major problems of the Huai Army.
