中法战争期间,坚决主张抗法的刘永福和黑旗军,在山西、北宁两役挫败后,遭到主和派和各方面的歧视和刁难,一度内外交困,濒临绝境,这时候,两广总督张之洞却挺身而出,力排众议,独挽狂澜,为刘永福和黑旗军大声疾呼,热情表彰其抗法业绩。并身体力行,千方百计地在各方面给予保护和支持,使刘永福和黑旗军终于克服困难,坚持斗争。 During the Sino-French War, Liu Yongfu and the Black Flag Army, which firmly opposed the war on law, were discriminated against and made difficulties by the main and sects and various parties after being defeated by the two campaigns in Shanxi and Beinn and were exiled and endangered internally and externally. At this time, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Chang Chih-tung, however, stepped forward to make a concerted effort to defeat Liu Zongfu and the Black Flag Army. They enthusiastically commended their anti-French achievements. And do his utmost to protect and support all parties in every possible way so that Liu Yongfu and the Black Flag Army finally overcome their difficulties and persisted in their struggle.
