卫汝贵

卫汝贵(1836年—1895年),达三安徽庐州府合肥县人,淮军将领。

早年随从刘铭传捻军,累迁至副将,晋总兵。捻军平定后,授河州镇总兵官,李鸿章荐其朴诚忠勇,留统北洋防军。历授大同镇、宁夏镇总兵官,均未任官。光绪十七年李鸿章奏称“实系最为得力之将。”率盛军驻守天津附近的青县,共有步队12营6000余人,马队5营1000余人,合约8000人。

甲午战争爆发,卫汝贵奉命率军增援平壤,部队军纪很坏,沿途骚扰百姓,李鸿章曾警告他:“敌氛逼近,若酿成大乱,汝身家性命必不能保”。平壤之战中,卫汝贵指挥盛军在西、南两个战场激战,重创日军,惜此役清军溃败,平壤失守。卫汝贵被革职逮问,李鸿章为其说情,未成,后械送京师,处死于菜市口[1]。卫汝贵是甲午战争期间唯一被朝廷处斩的实授总兵[2]。其弟卫汝成官至总兵,于卫汝贵事败后不知所终。

注释

  1. ^ 孙宝碹《忘山庐日记》云:“闻市将刑人,往视则甫搭棚,观者如堵,知为卫汝贵。今日刑部方奏其定案,必奉旨处决矣。至日中尚未来,即归。午后,复同地山、伯棠往视,仍未至。群谓今日不复行刑。俄日暮,忽报已来。余即往观,人声阗咽,拥挤不可近视。执戟者数十人。须臾,有乘舆者至,云为薛云阶大司寇。既至,半晌始纷纷散,则已毕刑。余遂归,赴徐博泉之约,夜饮于广和居。”
  2. ^ 2011年上海社科院张剑指出,卫汝贵在平壤之战中虽立有战功,但亦负有“城池失陷”之责。卫汝贵被处斩最重要的原因是所统盛军军纪败坏。卫汝贵被杀“虽有朝廷主战派、主和派政争,对日作战全线溃败朝廷要杀一儆百等原因,但归根结底还是他自己平日待兵寡恩所致。”陈悦《沉没的甲午》一书以为翁同龢等为首的主战派利用言官力量,党同伐异,打击李鸿章,卫汝贵成为政争下的牺牲品。
