Through a close reading of the Zei qing huizuan 賊情彙纂 (Compendium of Rebel Intelligence), the article reveals that the Qing and its allies understood the Taiping as a political entity constituted on a familiar (dynastic) model and also in ethnographic terms (linguistic, sartorial, religious, regional). The article also demonstrates how individuals made use of their access to information to obtain patronage and employment within the pro-Qing camp. Finally, by spotlighting the political and moral language used by the authors of the Zei qing huizuan , the article makes obvious the deep relationship between intelligence and ideology. Résumé: L'article révèle les stratégies et les institutions mises en œuvre par les forces loyalistes pour rassembler des informations sur le camp ennemi lors de la guerre civile des Taiping (1851-1864). Par une lecture du Zei qing huizuan , il montre que les Qing et leurs alliés appréhendaient les Taiping comme une entité politique formée selon un modèle dynastique familier et les décrivaient termes ethnographiques (concernant leur langue, leurs vêtements, leurs religion, leur particularités régionales). L'article montre aussi comment les auteurs de cet ouvrage ont su tirer parti de leur accès à cette information pour obtenir un soutien et des emplois dans le camp loyaliste. Enfin, en mettant en évidence le langage politique et moral utilisé par les auteurs du Zei qing huizuan , il démontre les liens étroits entre renseignement militaire et idéologie. 提要: 本文著重闡述太平天國運動期間 (1851-1864) 服務於情報搜集的策略與制度。首先，通過對《賊情匯纂》的細讀，本文指出，清政府及其同盟從自身所熟悉的模式 (即王朝式) 出發，將太平天國視為一種基於該模式而構建的政治團體，且從民族誌的角度 (語言, 服飾, 宗教, 地方性) 來理解其存在。其次，本文呈現了個人如何利用其對情報的掌握來謀求親清派的庇護和僱用。最後，通過集中分析《賊情匯纂》所使用的政治和道德語言，本文將使情報和意識形態間的深層關係得以清晰呈現。 pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of T'oung Pao is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
