摘要
1861年,英法两国凭借武力和不平等条约,在广州开辟四面环水的沙面租界。英法领事宣称在租界外的沙基和沙基涌也拥有“权利”,频繁无理干预租界周边事务,试图通过中方制度与人员扩大特权。中方在调整原有制度的基础上,形成多层次官员共同参与该区涉外日常治理的模式一一新涌缉捕和巡防营先后专管,南海知县、西关千总等文武官员亦负有责任。1883年巡防营入驻租界后,英法领事加强对巡防营的渗透,甚至借其侵蚀中国对租界周边的行政管辖权。晚清沙面租界周边的治理秩序深受英法势力的干涉侵扰,是近代中国半殖民地半封建社会性质的典型体现。
During the Second Opium War of 1856-1860,Britain and France employed violence and unequal treaties to establish the concession island of Shamian in Guangzhou,with the British and French consuls even going so far as to claim"rights"over Shaji and areas adjacent to the Concession.Frequently meddling unreasonably in local affairs,they manipulated the Chinese administrative system and personnel in an effort to expand their own influence.In response,the Chinese authorities adjusted the existing system and developed a multi-tier governance model involving officials in the management of the everyday affairs of foreigners.These included a Commissioner for Shaji Creek,a Patrol Battalion,and civil and military officials,such as the Magistrate of Nanhai County and the Company Commander of the Western Suburb.After the Patrol Battalion was stationed in the Concession in 1883,the British and French consuls attempted to infiltrate the battalion and encroach on Chinese administrative jurisdiction.British and French interference in the Shamian Concession during the late Qing dynasty undermined government order and exemplified the semi-colonial,semi-feudal nature of contemporary Chinese society.
