摘要
勘界是中法租借广州湾交涉中最为核心的问题,引起中法之间诸多纠纷。中法在广州湾地理概念理解上的歧见,在1898年4月9、10日交换照会前没有被意识到,清政府也没能利用复照之机及时予以限定。此后,双方在租借地范围问题上各执一词,交涉过程十分曲折。法方纵兵强占,中方则强硬抗争,屡拒法方勘界方案;继而彼此依形势做出一些让步,但分歧难以消除。因硇洲、东海两岛租让之争,中方内部出现分歧。"平石事件"爆发后,外交形势迅速恶化,清廷最终只得授权钦差大臣苏元春对法妥协并签订《广州湾租界约》,继而被迫接受法国多项索补条款。清政府对法广州湾勘界交涉中的难以作为,折射了中日甲午战争后应对"瓜分危机"的外交困境。
The different comprehension between the Qing government and the French government on the geographical position of Kwangchowan were not realized before the exchange of Communications on April 9 and 10 in 1898,and the Qing government did not make a limit on its responsive Communication.Since then,each government held its own opinion on the scope of the leased territory,which hindered the progress of negotiations.The French government ordered its soldiers to occupy more land but its delimitation plans were repeatedly rejected by the Qing government,then both governments made some compromises,but the divergences were difficult to be eliminated.At the last,the Qing court had to authorize the imperial envoy Su Yuanchun to sign The Convention Relative to the Concession of Kwang Chowan and accept another several clauses proposed by the French government.
