Historical evolution

Zhanjiang people's struggle against the law

On February 21, 1898 (March 11, 1898), the French imperialists made an unreasonable request to the Qing government to "rent" Guangzhou Bay (now Zhanjiang, Guangdong). On the second day of March of that year (April 22, 1898), they sent warships to land in haitouxun, Suixi County, and occupied haitoupaotai (now Xiashan, Zhanjiang).

In this regard, the Qing government gave in and surrendered, and even sent officials to delimit the concession with the French army. After the invasion of the French imperialists, there were burning, killing and plundering everywhere, in an attempt to expand the scope of "leasing". The barbaric atrocity of the enemy aroused the great indignation of the broad masses of the people, and then broke out a shocking anti French struggle at home and abroad.

On February 21, the 24th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (June 19, 1898), more than 500 people from Nanliu, Haitou, Lutang, Hongwu and other villages, led by Wu bangze and others, first unveiled the anti French flag, swore blood, and attacked the fachao in Guangzhou Bay with swords, spears, sticks and other weapons.

Since then, the anti French struggle has been surging. With the support of Li Zhongjue, the acting county magistrate, the people of Zhanjiang set up the anti French regiment. With the belief that "every inch of land is worth money to fight against Iraq", they have fought with the enemy more than ten times and defeated several attacks of the well-equipped enemy.

On October 14, 1899 (November 16, 1899), Su Yuanchun, the imperial minister, and Gao Lirui, the commander of the French navy, signed the Treaty of Canton Bay concession between China and France, which was humiliating and humiliating. He leased the Canton bay to France for 99 years. However, terrified by the people's resistance, France had to retreat the west line of the concession from wannianqiao (near Xinqiao sugar factory in Suixi County) to wenghe bridge (today's Cunjinqiao) to the west of Chikan, and the scope of the concession was narrowed from more than 100 Li to 30 Li.

In this magnificent struggle against France, the people of Zhanjiang wrote a stirring and lamentable patriotic poem in modern Chinese history, which will always inspire future generations to strive for the prosperity of the nation!
