Hu Xueyan, the richest man in the Qing Dynasty, why was he killed by Li Hongzhang?

Because Hu Xueyan was a person from Zuo Zongtang at that time, Li Hongzhangxiang returned to Zuo Zongtang by moving to him.

Because Hu Xueyan is Zuo Zongtang's biggest support, he must be killed if he wants to start a career.

Because he is too rich, if Hu Xueyan dies, the property will belong to Li Hongzhang.

must have been hated by Li Hongzhang to the core, so he had to kill him, so he got rid of him.

Because he is too rich, if he has the heart of rebellion, he can destroy the country.

Because Hu Xueyan is too rich, someone may have instructed Li Hongzhang to do this.

Li Hongzhang wanted to bring down his opponent Zuo Zongtang and strike first at Hu Xueyan, because Hu Xueyan was Zuo Zongtang's biggest support.

Because he has too much wealth, if he is a traitor, it will be a big problem for the country to fight him.

Once a person is talented, some people will be jealous, and Li Hongzhang is jealous of Hu Xueyan.

Hu Xueyan is a famous red-topped businessman in modern China, in the Qing Dynasty he can be said to be rich and rival the existence of the country, but Hu Xueyan is a victim of political struggle, he fully supports Zuo Zongtang to recover Xinjiang, for the country Hu Xueyan is a simple celebration, but the officialdom of the shopping mall, the waves are treacherous, Hu Xueyan will be his life and Zuo Zongtang together, one is prosperous, one is withered, and in the end there is no bet.

In fact, Hu Xueyan's life is still very representative, he went from a cattle herding baby to a man in Qianzhuang and then transformed into a red-top businessman in the Qing Dynasty, thanks to two nobles, one is Wang Youling, and the other is Zuo Zongtang. It was also because of the help of these two people that Hu Xueyan became a winner in life in a few years, and Hu Xueyan also tried his best to help Zuo Zongtang after success and get a win-win situation.

But the more beautiful Zuo Zongtang is, the more unhappy his political opponent Li Hongzhang is, and if he wants to bring down Zuo Zongtang, he must first get rid of Hu Xueyan. In 1882, Hu Xueyan was unwilling to let the Chinese silk farmers' raw silk ** has been controlled by foreigners, in order to recapture the raw silk **, Hu Xueyan opened a silk factory in Shanghai, and also bought back raw silk with a higher ** than the foreigners, at first Hu Xueyan's move did make the foreigners fall into a passive situation, but did not expect to catch up with the Sino-French War, and at that time Europe and Italy announced a bumper harvest of raw silk, and the ** of raw silk plummeted. Li Hongzhang took the opportunity to use his power to restrain Hu Xueyan and make his factory unable to operate normally, causing huge losses to Hu Xueyan, and Hu Xueyan had no choice but to sell the raw silk he collected.

Later, Li Hongzhang learned that a loan of 800,000 yuan from the Qing court with Hu Xueyan as the intermediary expired, and the Qing court should have sent the money to Hu Xueyan first, and then Hu Xueyan would return the money to HSBC, but Li Hongzhang greeted the ** who handled it, and asked him not to call the money to Hu Xueyan first, and then Li Hongzhang asked Sheng Xuanhuai, the general office of foreign affairs, to encourage HSBC to collect money from Hu Xueyan, Sheng Xuanhuai and Hu Xueyan are commercial opponents, of course he is willing to help with this, Hu Xueyan just fought with foreigners for the right to live before he was stopped, and all foreigners were offended, he couldn't borrow money, and HSBC kept urging money, and Hu Xueyan had no choice but to sell part of his private property and repay the 800,000 taels of silver.

After that, Li Hongzhang spread rumors everywhere that Hu Xueyan was making a money shortage, and reported to the imperial court, saying that Hu Xueyan had countless losses, and in order to avoid social turmoil, his property should be frozen and his debts should be paid off with goods. After hearing the news, bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen from all over the country came to withdraw money, but the amount of money withdrawn was too large, and the family property was frozen, so Hu Xueyan could only declare bankruptcy in the end. However, Li Hongzhang did not intend to let Hu Xueyan go, and Li Hongzhang gave Cixi a twist, saying that Hu Xueyan had eaten kickbacks from foreigners when he was trying to recover loans from Xinjiang.

Cixi was so angry that she ordered Hu Xueyan to be dismissed from his post and investigated.

Li Hongzhang's successive blows made Hu Xueyan from the richest man to later destitute. In the end, Hu Xueyan couldn't support it and died depressed.

Foreigners (4), Hu Xueyan (2), raw silk (1).

Li Hongzhang did not kill Hu Xueyan, but the culprit who caused Hu Xueyan to go bankrupt was Li Hongzhang, and Li Hongzhang can be regarded as the culprit who indirectly led to Hu Xueyan's bankruptcy. And the reason why Li Hongzhang dealt with Hu Xueyan was actually because of partisan disputes. At that time, there was a political contradiction between Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang was the main peace faction, and Zuo Zongtang was the main battle faction.

The two had political disagreements, and Li Hongzhang also signed many treaties that humiliated the country at that time, which made Zuo Zongtang unbearable, so he was extremely disgusted with Li Hongzhang.

In order to bring down Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang had no choice but to attack the people around Zuo Zongtang. And Hu Xueyan was Zuo Zongtang's money bag at that time, when Zuo Zongtang recovered Xinjiang, because the Qing ** had no money, the military expenses were all scraped together by Hu Xueyan, so after Zuo Zongtang recovered Xinjiang, Hu Xueyan was also directly named the second grade ** by Cixi because of his meritorious service, and Hu Xueyan became a red-top businessman.

It can be said that Hu Xueyan was Zuo Zongtang's right-hand man at that time and helped Zuo Zongtang deal with many economic difficulties. And if Li Hongzhang wants to deal with Zuo Zongtang, then he must first cut off his arm, so Li Hongzhang set his sights on Hu Xueyan. As a businessman, Hu Xueyan naturally did not act on the bright side, but directly let his subordinate Sheng Xuanhuai fight against Hu Xueyan.

Sheng Xuanhuai was also a red-top businessman at that time, but he relied on Li Hongzhang, so driven by interests, Sheng Xuanhuai and Hu Xueyan started a business war. In the end, Hu Xueyan went bankrupt under Sheng Xuanhuai's calculations. At this time, Zuo Zongtang had no time to take care of Hu Xueyan, so Hu Xueyan died of illness after going bankrupt.

Although Li Hongzhang did not directly participate in the business war between Sheng Xuanhuai and Hu Xueyan, Sheng Xuanhuai represented Li Hongzhang at that time, so Li Hongzhang acted as Sheng Xuanhuai's military advisor in this business war, otherwise, if Sheng Xuanhuai alone, he would not be able to defeat Hu Xueyan. Before he died, Hu Xueyan warned his descendants not to get involved in politics.

Because Hu Xueyan is Zuo Zongtang's person, Li Hongzhang knows that if he wants Zuo Zongtang to get rid of Hu Xueyan first, he set up a bureau to get rid of Hu Xueyan.

The information is wrong, Hu Xueyan was not killed by Li Hongzhang, but died of depression in his own home, when he was in his sixties and penniless.

Because Hu Xueyan is Zuo Zongtang's right-hand man, and Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang are sworn enemies, Li Hongzhang wants to deal with him.

Personally, I think that Li Hongzhang killed Hu Xueyan, the richest man in the Qing Dynasty, because the Manchu Dynasty was a typical feudal dynasty, and the essence of the feudal dynasty was exploitation, and it would not allow big businessmen to develop indefinitely, and Hu Xueyan was just a fattened pig in the eyes of the imperial court.

Although the merchant Hu Xueyan created the "Qingyutang" with the same name as the "Tong Ren Tang", it had the lowest status in the feudal society's "scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants" system. Why did Hu Xueyan become so popular, and even became a "red-top official businessman" as a second-year topper? It's because Hu Xueyan has someone on him, and he still has one day to cover him, so that he can call for wind and rain.

This piece of sky is the frontier official Zuo Zongtang.

The reason why Hu Xueyan fell was that the sky hanging over him, that is, Zuo Zongtang, was not a real "heaven". The real "paradise" was the Qing Dynasty. The Manchu dynasty was a typical feudal dynasty.

The essence of feudal dynasties is exploitation. It does not allow big businessmen to develop indefinitely. On the contrary, it is similar to raising pigs, fattening, and killing pigs during the Spring Festival.

Although Hu Xueyan is a businessman, in the eyes of the imperial court, he is just a fat pig and must be slaughtered. This is the essence of more than 2,000 years of feudal society.

Because Hu Xueyan has a very close relationship with Zuo Zongtang. And Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang are political enemies, so Li Hongzhang will definitely kill Hu Xueyan to cut off Zuo Zongtang's right-hand man, politically speaking, Hu Xueyan is a political victim.

This is because Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang are in opposite positions above the court, and Hu Xueyan is Zuo Zongtang's person, so he has become a victim of the political struggle between the two.

Because Hu Xueyan supported and supported Li Hongzhang's political enemies, Li Hongzhang killed him in order to eradicate the power of his political enemies.

Because Hu Xueyan is a profiteer, he took a lot of kickbacks. So Li Hongzhang wanted to kill him.

I think the main reason is that this rich businessman did not donate money to the state, and there is also the result of his damage to Li Hongzhang's interests.

Because Hu Xueyan is also his mortal enemy, the reason is that Hu Xueyan is the one who wears the same pants as Zuo Zongtang.

There is no grudge between Li Hongzhang and Hu Xueyan, and the reason why Li Hongzhang killed Hu Xueyan is that the person behind Hu Xueyan is Zuo Zongtang. At that time, the struggle between Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang in the officialdom was very serious, so after Zuo Zongtang failed in the officialdom, Hu Xueyan, who was Zuo Zongtang's financial support, naturally had to be eliminated by Li Hongzhang. Hu Xueyan was originally just a cattle herding baby with four walls, but later with his own efforts, he became a red-top businessman at that time.

Although he failed in the end because of the struggle with Sheng Xuanhuai, Hu Xueyan's achievements cannot be ignored. Hu Xueyan's success in the mall is inseparable from the support of two people, one of whom is Wang Youling. Wang Youling was not good in officialdom at that time, and later met Hu Xueyan, because Hu Xueyan valued Wang Youling, so Hu Xueyan took out his own money to help Wang Youling deal with officialdom.

When Wang Youling rose step by step in the officialdom and finally rose to the governor of Zhejiang, in order to repay Hu Xueyan's kindness, Wang Youling helped Hu Xueyan give the green light in business through the power in his hands. As a result, Hu Xueyan's business became bigger and bigger. Later, Hu Xueyan met Zuo Zongtang through channels, and then he has always been Zuo Zongtang's money bag.

The reason why Hu Xueyan later became a red-top businessman was also because he relied on Zuo Zongtang's relationship to do the arms business, and his arms business became bigger and bigger, and he was later named the political envoy by the Qing Dynasty at that time. Although it is just a fictitious position, Hu Xueyan, as a red-top businessman in the Qing Dynasty, has a momentum that cannot be compared with ordinary businessmen.

And Hu Xueyan's most successful place is to help Zuo Zongtang recover Xinjiang, although the imperial court at that time agreed to Zuo Zongtang to recover Xinjiang, but because there was no financial support from the state, Zuo Zongtang had nothing at that time, and the shells and military expenses needed by Zuo Zongtang were all from Hu Xueyan. Therefore, after Zuo Zongtang recovered Xinjiang, Hu Xueyan's business road became broader.

Li Hongzhang himself has no personal grudge with Hu Xueyan, the reason why he forced Hu Xueyan to death was because Hu and Zuo Zongtang were very close, and he provided a lot of funds for Zuo Zongtang.

Li Hongzhang killed Hu Xueyan, the richest man in the Qing Dynasty, and the grievances between the two of them came from Zuo Zongtang. Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang are opponents in the officialdom, Hu Xueyan relied on Hu Xueyan to provide money when he recovered the frontier, and Li Hongzhang knew that in order to defeat Zuo Zongtang, he must first get rid of Hu Xueyan. So he united with Sheng Xuanhuai to bring down Hu Xueyan and raided his home.

In order to defeat Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang thought that Hu Xueyan should be eliminated first. Subsequently, Li Hongzhang first cut off Hu Xueyan's financial route and created rumors that Hu Xueyan's money bank was about to go bankrupt. In the end, he ransacked Hu Xueyan's home for illegal gains.

I think that if the two families have no grievances, it is because of political struggle, because they are political enemies, so they lose, and they will attack each other's everything.

Hu Xueyan was killed by Li Hongzhang, not died of illness?

Hu Xueyan had a huge amount of wealth, which may have affected the imperial court, so he had to be killed.

Hu Xueyan is Zuo Zongtang's right-hand man, and he is his biggest support in the imperial court.

The death of Hu Xueyan and the collapse of his business empire are a historical inevitability.

A person with a lot of wealth naturally has an unknown inside story, perhaps because the interests of the country have to do this.

Personally, I think it's mainly because Hu Xueyan is rich and really rich.

Hu Xueyan's family property at that time was as good as the country, and if he killed him, he could take the money for himself.

Hu Xueyan's family property was rich enough to rival the country, and he killed him and confiscated money to fill the treasury.

Because he was very much talking about money at that time, so that he could keep it for himself.

It is also a sin to want to keep money for yourself, so it is also a sin to be too rich.
