is not as good as the concession, and the New Year is in the sound of playing cards. Concession is a protective umbrella for foreigners and rich people, and a shame for China and a shame for history.
Hong Kong and Macao have been classified as concessions by Western powers, with a lease period of 99 years. 1997 and 1999 Hong Kong and Macau returned to the embrace of the motherland respectively.
There is another place in China that has a lease term of 99 years like them, but he returned to his motherland 50 years in advance. Do you know where it is?
Western powers began to divide China craze
Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province has traces of human habitation since Stone Age , and has been an important territory of our country since Qin Shihuang period. Zhanjiang City is a coastal city with beautiful scenery and developed maritime transportation and trade. The current Zhanjiang City was previously called " Guangzhou Bay ".
Guangzhou Bay has always been a position that the emperor attaches great importance to in history, and maritime trade is carried out here. The economy of Guangzhou Bay has developed rapidly and the scale of trade has also been improved.
However, such prosperity continued until , the middle and late period of of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty believed that it was the most powerful country and did not want others to steal the country's technology, so it closed its doors and did not enter or exit. After the implementation of the sea ban, Guangzhou Bay and ordinary villages were no different from ordinary villages, and economic development was quickly curbed.
It is precisely because the Qing Dynasty was arrogant and self-righteous. When the West was carrying out the industrial revolution , the Qing Dynasty was still shrouded in a small shell and was unwilling to come out. Britain first became a powerful country in the industrial revolution and a powerful country in the world.
As an empire that never sets, Britain was willing to stick to its own territory, so it began a plan to increase colonies. China has been worshipped by other countries since ancient times, and naturally it has become the target of Britain's efforts.
The failure of the Opium War made China embark on the road of cede land and pay compensation, and also allowed other countries to see the incompetence of the Qing Dynasty. Hong Kong has become a leased place in the UK since then, and a 99-year lease period was signed.
Western powers began a craze to divide China, and gold, silver, treasures and land areas became their pockets. Macau has become a rental place in Portugal with the help of the UK.
The Qing government's repeated weaknesses were the unscrupulous revenge of the great powers. What the great powers want is just a little money, what they want is to divide China and make China completely colony.
France saw that Britain and Portugal had both occupied a good place, so she planned to divide up a piece of land in China. France began to take up the idea of Vietnam and carried out the two-year Sino-French War .
ridiculously, the Sino-French War was clearly successful in the Qing Dynasty, but it still gave Vietnam to France. 's attitude made France look down on the Qing Dynasty even more, so it planned a bigger conspiracy.
Guangzhou Bay was forced to rent it to France
The French government could find out that Guangzhou Bay was because the French captain suddenly broke into it.
897, a French warship sailed on the sea. Unexpectedly, he could not return after encountering a typhoon. Without our permission, he sailed into the Guangzhou Bay waters.
The French captain who stayed in Guangzhou Bay for a few days discovered that Guangzhou Bay is a good place with outstanding people and beautiful places. The natural advantages of Guangzhou Bay are very suitable for warship parking. After letting your subordinates secretly measure the water depth, they found that the ship , which can also make the draft depth, unobstructed.
The French captain told the government this good news, hoping that they could take Guangzhou Bay for themselves. The French government is planning to take over which piece of land in China, and now it has a direction.
During the negotiations between the French government and the Qing Dynasty, a large number of warships were parked in Guangzhou Bay on the grounds of hoarding coal. Not only that, they also destroyed the residents' houses and wanted to build a fort and a military camp.
This series of actions aroused the dissatisfaction of the people of Guangzhou Bay and set off a craze to fight against the French army. Guangzhou Bay formed a team of thousands of people to resist France's barbaric behavior, and the "anti-French protest struggle" was vigorously carried out in Guangzhou Bay.
The thousand-person resistance army formed by Guangzhou Bay gave the French army a heavy blow. The French government is very troubled in the face of this situation and can only send more soldiers to suppress it.
At the same time, the French government put pressure on the Qing government, hoping that they would seize the time to sign the contract. In order to alleviate the doubts of the Qing government, France called it just using Guangzhou Bay for trade and would not take it for itself.
But France's various behaviors show his ambitions, suppressing the people, establishing troops and forts, but no matter how much the people resist, it will be futile. While the people were safeguarding their national territory, the Qing government signed a contract with France to lease Guangzhou Bay.
1899 Guangzhou Bay ushered in the darkest day in history. From this day on, Guangzhou Bay was leased to the French government for 99 years and agreed to build a fort here.
Guangzhou Bay returns to the embrace of the motherland and
After the French government occupied Guangzhou Bay, it carried out maritime trade here, which restored the economic prosperity of Guangzhou Bay. The seemingly economic prosperity is the result of opium smuggling. Guangzhou Bay opium trade is prevalent, but the Qing government has no choice but to do anything.
The corruption of the Qing government was doomed to fail, and finally the Qing government fell under the resistance of the people. 921 China's representatives attended the Washington Conference and discussed the signing of colonial contracts between the Qing Dynasty and other countries at that time.
France publicly stated at the meeting that it would return Guangzhou Bay to China. After the meeting, France did not fulfill its promise, but instead opened casinos and sold opium more unscrupulously, making Guangzhou Bay a black zone.
Guangzhou Bay not only experienced French occupation, but also had two years of rule by Japan. 943 during in World War II , Guangzhou Bay was won by Japan. Accompanied by Japan surrendered , Guangzhou Bay returned to the embrace of the motherland.
Unexpectedly, the French thief was unchanged and took out the original contract and asked to return Guangzhou Bay to them. However, China is no longer the weak and incompetent Qing Dynasty at the time, and directly rejected France's unreasonable demands.
As a country that was passively resisting the war during World War II, France's image is no longer as good as before. On the contrary, our country's international status has been improved and we have a country with the right to speak.
1945 On August 18, China and France signed the Guangzhou Bay handover contract, and Guangzhou Bay officially returned to the embrace of the motherland. Guangzhou Bay was occupied by other countries for 46 years. Fortunately, it came back early and the people were spared from suffering.
Guangzhou Bay has since been called Zhanjiang City and belongs to Guangdong Province. In order to commemorate the heroes who bleed against the French and Japanese people, Zhanjiang City has established several monuments and hero statues.
Conclusion
Whether it is Hong Kong, Macau or Guangzhou Bay, what they have experienced is the shame of our country's history, and they are all urging future generations to forge ahead. They are unfortunate and are commemorated by history.
Only when a country is prosperous and strong can it not be bullied, and if it falls behind, it will be beaten. Incompetent concessions will only bring about the intensification of other countries, and only by resisting will we win the struggle.
Our country is developing more and more powerful now, but it still adheres to the principle of peaceful coexistence. If someone does not offend me, I will not offend others. If someone offends me, I will be polite and I will be eliminated if someone offends me again. This is China's attitude.
