Wang Ding/Kloc-was born at the age of 0/9, and was promoted at the age of 24 in the 57th year. In the first year of Jiaqing (1796), he was a scholar, and Jishi Shu was selected to participate in the compilation of A Record of Qianlong. He taught him to edit, and in the 18th year of Jiaqing (18 13), he became a "Bachelor of Fan Shi". Nineteen years later, he worked as an assistant minister in the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Government, the Ministry of Housing, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment, and "lived in five departments". In the meantime, "the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance is the third, and the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Punishment is the second", and he was in charge of the affairs of the prefect of Shuntian (the capital of the Qing Dynasty, namely Beijing). In the twenty-fifth year of Jiaqing, after the death of Emperor Jiaqing, he served as the deputy director of the Records Museum. In the second year of Daoguang (1822), he served as the governor of Henan and an imperial envoy of Zuodu. In the sixth year of Daoguang, he served as the minister of household affairs, in the eleventh year as the governor of Zhili, in the twelfth year as the minister of punishments, in the fifteenth year as an assistant to university students and in the eighteenth year as an assistant to university students (1838). Daoguang served as minister of military affairs for five years, and held this position for 17 years continuously until his death in the 22nd year of Daoguang (1842).
During his tenure as the above-mentioned official, Wang Ding was loyal to his duties and achieved remarkable results. He is clever and earnest. "After ten years in the household department, officials can't bully them." "I have been in charge of punishments for the longest time and have a detailed overview. I will be able to read regular manuscripts and rehabilitate many places. " The magistrate has a mystery and always sends him to preside over the trial. "There have been nine provinces and more than 30 prisons. In fact, there have been impeachment, although there are no fewer officials." . Therefore, it was praised by the people. We have also made considerable achievements in reforming river affairs and salt management. In particular, when Daoguang inspected Huai Salt for ten years, he "removed the old chapter so that those who made profits had no excuse, and those who owed classes had no excuse", and drafted Article 15 of the Articles of Association, suggesting that the policy of Huai Salt should be abolished and returned to the Governor of Liangjiang, making Tao Shu, then Governor of Liangjiang, determined to reform. "since then, the quasi-outline has gradually vibrated, and the power of the tripod has also" (3).
During the anti-smoking movement and the Opium War, Wang Ding supported Lin Zexu's resolute measures to ban opium smoking and trafficking and opium import, and persisted in resisting British aggression. He was extremely indignant at Lin Zexu's dismissal and dismissal for banning opium and resisting aggression. In the twenty-first year of Daoguang (184 1), in July, the Yellow River burst in Xiangfu (now Kaifeng City) and sent Wang Ding to take charge of the management. In August, he was transferred to the Governor of Donghe. At that time, many people thought that the water was rising and should not be stopped. They advocated moving to the provincial capital "to avoid its influence". He pushed his way through the crowd and resolutely shouldered the heavy responsibility of ensuring that this is the "turn of winter and spring". If he can't do it, he will "take responsibility". Under his leadership and command, it was successfully completed in February of the following year. The cost is saved and the project progress is very fast, which greatly exceeds the previous large-scale water conservancy projects. Therefore, he was named King of Jin. In this river regulation project, he specially sponsored Lin Zexu to assist in it. Lin is an expert in water conservancy and has rich experience in water conservancy construction, which has given him great help and enabled the project to be successfully completed. He originally intended to make use of Lin Zexu's contributions to the river project to avoid being far away, but after the river project was completed, Daoguang Emperor ordered Lin Zexu to be sent to Yili for atonement. He was very angry about it. Although he was personally rewarded, he was extremely dissatisfied. After returning to Beijing, he made peace with Britain to protect Lin Zexu. He excitedly pulled Daoguang's skirt and said, "If the emperor doesn't kill Qishan, it will not be good for the world. If the old minister knows and doesn't say anything, it won't be good for the first emperor. " (5) But Daoguang Emperor had decided to make peace with the British invaders. Before that, he had resurrected the capitulator Ilib and appointed another important capitulator, Jianying, to go to Zhejiang for peace talks with Britain, thus ignoring Wang Ding's opinion. On April 30th this year (the 22nd year of Daoguang), Wang Ding was outraged and hanged himself. He left a thousand words, saying that "making peace is a big mistake", demanding "blaming the governor" and "violating the country", ⑦, in an attempt to move and awaken Daoguang Emperor with death and correct his mistakes.
Wang Ding's death was actually a protest against the Qing government's foreign compromise and surrender policy. Lin Zexu was very angry when he learned that Wang Ding had died in the west. He wrote a close-up poem "Wang Ge Wen Gong", in which there is a line: "There are a thousand lines of tears on the flat sand curtain", "Twenty years of cardinal praise for painting is deep, and it is difficult to stop crying at current events". Today, he thanked Wang Ding for his understanding and strong support for his patriotic action, which can be called the profound friendship between his bosom friend and Wang Ding. Due to the obstruction and destruction of Zhang Mu's henchmen, Wang Ding's legacy failed to reach Daoguang Emperor. Life in Wang Ding is simple and self-sufficient. It is unique ","he didn't ask for help before his death, and he didn't ask for help ",and when he died," there was no extra millet and no new clothes ",which showed his good style of honesty and integrity.
