Sichuan-Hankou railroad had a serious problem of share capital loss since its establishment and fund-raising,and the accumulated loss of silver had exceeded several million liang.The gentries of Sichuan Local Stock Bureau and Sichuan-Hankou Railroad Company in Chengdu bore an inescapable responsibility for this.In order to protect the vested interests from interference and the illegal interests from investigation,the gentries of Sichuan-Hankou Railroad Company in Chengdu successively evaded,refused and opposed the Qing court's intention of taking away the railroad and checking accounts,as well as its policy of trunk railroad nationalization.At the same time,the gentries in Chengdu overthrew the fellow township officials sent from Beijing who made the proposal of protecting the railroad's share capital and joining national shares.The substantial conflict of interest behind these contradictions and conflicts directly promoted the rise and upsurge of Sichuan Railroad Protection Movement,and to some extent created the different orientations in the railroad agitations of Hunan,Hubei and Guangdong provinces.
