Brief introduction to the treaty:
19 After the 1940s, the western invaders forcibly opened the door of China with their powerful ships and guns, and seized a lot of privileges through a series of unequal treaties. However, their greedy desires were not satisfied, and they tried to ask the Qing government for more privileges. 1856, in order to expand its rights and interests in China, Britain launched the Second Opium War by the Yarrow Incident. The French also used the "Ma Fu incident" in Xilin, Guangxi to send an expeditionary force to join the British in armed aggression against China. 1858 (eighth year of Xianfeng) In May, the British and French allied forces captured Dagukou, approached Tianjin City and threatened to attack Beijing. On May 29th, the Qing government was forced to send Gui Liang and Hua Shanna as plenipotentiaries to Tianjin for negotiations.
Negotiations between Gui Liang and French Special Envoy Gero officially started on June 6th, 2005. During the negotiation, Gui Liang and others were forced to agree to most of the terms proposed by France under the coercion and inducement of Ge Luo, but they were afraid to agree to the ambassador in Beijing and allow French businessmen to buy products in the mainland. The cunning Ge Luo made a concession and changed the ambassador to Beijing to live in Beijing when the special envoy had important business to deal with. However, it also stipulated that if the Qing government granted the diplomatic envoys of other countries the right to stay in Beijing, France naturally enjoyed it. For French businessmen to enter the mainland, Ge Luo also announced that he would give up. Because Gro knew that these two aggression demands would be adhered to by Britain and written into the Sino-British Treaty, France, which enjoys one-sided MFN status, could also "share". After the treaty was drawn up, Gro was not in a hurry to sign it, but waited for the result of Sino-British negotiations. On June 26th, the Sino-British Tianjin Treaty was signed, and France finally got its wish, so the Sino-French Tianjin Treaty was formally signed on June 27th. 1858.
There are 42 clauses in the Sino-French Tianjin Treaty, and 6 clauses in the Supplementary Provisions of the Peace Treaty Constitution, the main contents of which are: 1. French ministers are allowed to live in Beijing if they have important domestic affairs to deal with; In the future, if the foreign minister is allowed to stay in Beijing, France will do the same. Set up consular officers in trading ports. 2. Add six ports in Qiongzhou, Chaozhou, Danshui, Dengzhou and Jiangning in Taiwan Province Province; French people and their families can live, trade and work in trading ports, and they can hire China people freely. They can rent houses or stocks in trading ports, or rent land to build their own houses and construction banks, or build churches, hospitals, emergency hospitals, schools and cemeteries. If China invaded or destroyed French churches and cemeteries, local officials in Qing Dynasty should be severely detained and punished. French people can travel and preach in the mainland. Local officials must be kind to those who preach in the mainland. French warships must berth at various trading ports. 5. If the dispute between the French and the French cannot be mediated, it should be handled jointly by Chinese and French officials and ended fairly; The French fought with the China. If the violator is French, the French consular officer will try and punish him according to French law. If the violator is China, it will be severely tried by China officials and punished according to the laws of China. China officials don't have to ask about the dispute between France and a third country. 6. "If China is privileged, generous, privileged and blessed in the future, other countries will get it, and so will Great France." 7. Recall Zhang Mingfeng, the magistrate of Xilin County, and never use it; China compensated the French businessmen for their losses and military expenses of 2 million taels, and the reparations arrived, so the French army withdrew from Guangzhou.
Sino-French Tianjin Treaty is another unequal treaty signed under the coercion of French invaders. The signing of Sino-French Tianjin Treaty is a further violation of China's sovereignty by France. Through this treaty, China was forced to open a new port, allowing navigation and trade in Neijiang, which made the French colonists further invade and plunder China, which had a serious impact on the social politics and economy of China and accelerated the semi-colonization of China.
Original text of the treaty:
1June 27th, 858, May 8th, Xianfeng, Tianjin17th.
Today, the great emperors of the Qing Dynasty and France are eager to mediate peace in all the differences between the two countries and to make peace with the former countries, trade and ships, so as to make peace with the past, properly handle it and keep their lives forever. Therefore, it was agreed that for the benefit of the two countries, the articles of association of the peace treaty should be re-formulated and dealt with by the ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the two countries: the Qing emperor appointed the plenipotentiary ministers Dong Ge, the university students, the official ministers, the blue flag and the Han army all to be in charge of Huashan South; The French emperor sent a first-class plenipotentiary, and the imperial decree respected Lao Daxing, saved Russia greatly, and the hereditary baron John Baudis and mainland Higuero came. Both of them gave the imperial edict of acting cheaply and full authority. It is easy for the public to read and consult, and the suggested terms are listed on the left:
The first paragraph: After that, the Qing Emperor, the Great French Emperor and the businessmen of the two countries, no matter who and where, always reconciled and lived in each other's homes.
Section 2. Fortunately, our two countries are reunited with the past and want to live forever. So the imperial envoys of the two countries agreed that any envoy of Great France should be summoned? Those who come to China or have important business in their own country are allowed to live in Beijing, just like all countries in Taixi. It is also agreed that in the future, any country that has established articles of association with China, or sends its own imperial envoys to Beijing, can do the same. All imperial envoys who come to Beijing are treated well when they stay in the capital temporarily, and all property, official positions and letters are not allowed to be tampered with, as if they were in their own country; Anyone who wants to recruit people, service personnel, etc. Recruitment can be postponed without hindrance. All expenses are paid by the state. The Qing emperor wanted to send an imperial envoy to live in the French capital, all of which were postponed according to grades, and all of them were Enshi, just like those sent by western countries.
Section 3. When the French Grand Constitution, consuls and other officials have the official documents and notes of the China Grand Constitution and local officials, they all use the word "Great France", but in order to handle affairs conveniently and properly, there is also a translation of the word China attached to it, and its annexes should be as consistent as possible. When the capital of the Great Qing Dynasty is knowledgeable and can translate the language of Great France, officials of Great France will immediately note the words "Great France" on the official documents of the Great Qing Dynasty, and officials of the Great Qing Dynasty will also note the words "Great France" on the official documents of Great France. From now on, all agreed paragraphs, or where there are disputes between the two countries, always take French as justice. What is stipulated here is in line with the current articles of association. The records of officials of the two countries shall be based on their own languages, and the translated words shall not be regarded as true.
Article 4 In the future, officials and office workers of the two countries will compete with each other in business, and parallel ceremonies are allowed. Dafa Constitution and China always use "notes" in official correspondence, both inside and outside Beijing. The second-class officials of Great France used "Chen Shen" when communicating with the official documents of the Constitution of Zhong Da, China Province, while Daxian of China used "miscellaneous lines". A ceremony for taking photos with equal officials of the two countries. Its businessmen and people without titles use "offering" in court. Whenever a Frenchman goes to the magistrate, his letter is forwarded by the consular officer. Consular officials will check the inside story and forward it immediately, otherwise it will be corrected or returned immediately. If China people want to go to the consular officer, they should also go to the local officer first.
Section 5. The great French emperor allowed the establishment of consuls and other officials to deal with the business people in the coastal areas and river ports of China listed in paragraphs 6 and 7, communicate with local officials, and check and abide by the articles of association. China local officials and consuls and other officials should be treated with courtesy; Move the text back and forth, all using parallelism. If there is any injustice, consuls and other officials are allowed to appeal to the provincial constitution and accuse the country's imperial plenipotentiary. In case the consul and other officials are not in Hong Kong, French shipowners and businessmen can entrust the consul of China to take care of them, otherwise they will go to the customs to declare and try their best to handle them properly so that shipowners and businessmen can benefit from the articles of association.
Section 6. It is really urgent to add more ports for China and allow it to trade, and it has been tried and tested. Therefore, it is agreed to allow Taiwan Province Province to trade with Guangdong Qiongzhou, Chaozhou and Fujian Danshui, Shandong Dengzhou and Jiangnan Jiangning with Guangdong, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo and Shanghai. After the bandits were wiped out by officers and men in Jiangning, French officials allowed their own people to get a trade license.
Article 7. From now on, all French family members can live, trade and work with the China coastal trade zone and the Yangtze River port mentioned in the sixth paragraph, and they will be safe and undisturbed. If you have a stamped license, you can travel at the agreed trade port; However, coastal and riverside ports are prohibited from buying and selling privately; If this case is committed, the goods on board are allowed to enter the customs. However, when local officials in China detain such vessels and goods, they should inform the nearby French consul before being appointed as officials.
Article 8. All French people who want to March in the inland areas and docks where ships are not allowed to enter are allowed to go. However, it is necessary to write a stamped license together with Chinese and French officials, such as imperial envoys or consuls, and the license should still be based on the seal of local officials in China. If the permit is lost and the French can't hand it in, the local officials will refuse to keep it without checking it, and let them get another one with the consular officials, and let the China officials escort the consular officials to keep it. They are not allowed to beat, hurt or abuse the proceeds. French people who are still around the trading ports, French people live or travel for a long time, and they don't need to take pictures when listening to them walking around nearby places, just like mainlanders; However, the boundary between consular officials and local officials is not allowed to negotiate. French officials in China are not allowed to go to provinces where bandits temporarily exist if they get permission. Its license can only be granted to decent and wealthy people.
Article 9 Any tariff, tariff, tonnage tax, tariff and import and export goods tax agreed by China and parliaments of various countries in accordance with their own laws and regulations will be accepted by French businessmen once implemented.
Article 10. No matter how many French people live in the trading ports according to the sixth paragraph, they are allowed to rent houses, store stocks, or rent land to build their own houses and build CCB. The French can also build a chapel, a medical hospital, a weekly emergency hospital, a study room and a cemetery. Local officials and consular officials should agree on their own places suitable for French people to live and build. Where is the amount of land rent and rent? Common services must be determined according to local values. China officials prevent mainlanders from raising rents, while French consular officials are wary of domestic oppression of rents. In all places where the French have a large number of houses and lots, there is no need to discuss restrictions, so that the French can benefit appropriately. If China people invade and destroy French churches and cemeteries, local officials will severely punish them as usual.
Article 11 The French can hire comprador, general manager, secretary, craftsman, sailor and worker at any time in every place where they trade.

Article 12 In China, no one is allowed to bully or infringe on all the wealth and goods owned by the French in various places where they trade. For China officials, no matter what happens, they are not allowed to take French ships by force, thinking that they are public or private.
Article 13 Catholicism was originally based on persuading people to do good, and all the people who taught it benefited from it, and they were allowed to recite the scriptures in the same week. Those who enter the mainland safely to preach according to paragraph 8 must be well protected by local officials. China people who are willing to believe in Catholicism and abide by the rules are exempt from punishment and are not prohibited. Everything that explicitly prohibits Catholicism has always been written or engraved, and it is inevitable wherever it is.
Article 14 No one else in China can engage in complex trade in the future. If there is any violation, the consular officer will inform China and try to get rid of it. China officials should ban it first, so as to avoid friendship in dealing with each other.
Article 15. Where French ships enter various trading ports, they can hire their own water diversion, that is, take them in. All the money has been paid, and if it wants to sail, it must be taken out by water as soon as possible, and it is not allowed to stop the difficulties. If a mortal wants to be a pilot in France, if he has three shipowners' licenses, the consular officer can take Iraq as a pilot and do anything with other countries. Industrial and commercial banks, consuls and other officials who accept water diversion should consider the distance and risk fairly and determine their wages at all trading ports.
Article 16 As soon as a large French ship with a pilot zone is imported, the customs will assign one or two customs officers to supervise the ship as appropriate, and conduct inspection and disclosure. It's up to you whether to take a merchant ship or charter a boat. The required working meals shall be provided by the customs, and shall not be requested from the shipowners and agents. If there is a violation, it will be convicted as usual according to the amount claimed, and will be recovered according to the number.
Article 17 If the import of a French ship is unimpeded within one day, its owner, consignor or agent ship shall immediately hand over the ship's license plate, manifest and other documents to the consular officer. Consular officials will inform the customs of the ship's name, ship's name, tonnage, cargo and other details within one day after receiving the ship's license plate and manifest. If the owner of the ship is at fault and fails to submit the ship license and manifest to the consular officer within two days after the ship is imported, he will be fined 50 yuan every day and admitted to the China authorities; However, the fine shall not exceed that of 200 yuan. After the consular officer notifies the customs, the customs will issue a permit to allow him to open the cabin. If the ship owner opens the cabin and unloads the cargo without a license, he shall be fined in 500 yuan; As soon as the unloaded goods are incorporated into the official.
Article 18 All French shipowners and businessmen should rent all kinds of stripping boats and boats to carry goods and passengers at will. The prices of their boats and boats are determined by both parties, and the local officials do not need to be managers. If the boats are cheated or lost, the local officials will not compensate them. Its ships are not limited to a few, nor can they be controlled by others, and porters and others are not allowed to load and unload all the goods.
Article 19. When all French businessmen unload or place goods, they must first open a manifest to the consular officer and then notify the customs, and then they are allowed to unload and place goods, that is, to check whether their goods are in good condition and neither side has suffered losses. French businessmen are unwilling to plan their own taxes, and people familiar with them will plan their taxes on their behalf, and they will listen; If there is any objection afterwards, you are not allowed to listen before assessing the tax amount. If businessmen and China people disagree, two or three businessmen are called together to inspect the goods, and the highest bid is the evaluation. The tax rate is net goods; All goods should be rolled up. If the French and customs can't determine the fur weight of each item, there will be disputes about weighing each item with leather. First, determine the approximate quantity, then remove the net fur and weigh it according to the so-called general plan. When inspecting goods, if there is any objection, French businessmen immediately invite consular officials to come, and consular officials immediately notify the customs and try their best to cooperate; It is limited to one day, otherwise it will be inaccurate. Before the discussion is undecided, the customs shall not record the number of disputes in the book, for fear that it will be difficult to verify later. If the imported goods are damaged, the tax credit shall be verified and handled fairly according to the valuation example.
Article 20. According to the provisions of article 19, all imported vessels without unloading license can be exported to other ports within two days. There is no need to pay here, but you are still selling goods to pay.
Article 2 1 The agreed tariff rules for the unloading of goods by French shipowners or merchants shall be paid piece by piece. The same is true of export commodities. As soon as all the bills and salaries of the French ship are paid, the customs will pay them in full, hand them over to the consular officer for verification, return the ship's license plate and allow them to sail. According to the decision of the Customs, a certain number of banks can collect French reimbursement on behalf of China, and the paid-in amount given by the bank is the same as that given by China officials. Customs and consular officials should check the market price of lost silver or tattooed silver, compare foreign silver with tattooed silver, and make up a certain amount of water according to the quantity.
Article 22 For ships imported according to Article 20, all tickets shall be paid two days after disembarkation and before unloading. According to this example, every ship that exceeds one hundred and fifty tons has five yuan per ton of paper money; Less than 150 tons, one yuan per ton. All kinds of import and export fees in the past will be cancelled, and there will be no other end in the future. After receiving the banknotes, the customs will issue a license and the Enlightenment ship will receive the banknotes. If the ship sails for another port, it shall submit the permit at the time of import to avoid duplication. Every French ship that enters China from a foreign country must pay the bill. All small boats, such as Class III of Great France, whether covered or uncovered, carrying passengers, luggage, letters and food, and without taxable goods, are free of banknotes. If the ship carries goods, according to the example of less than one hundred and fifty tons, it will cost one dollar for each ton transported. If a big French businessman rents a China ship, it won't lose money.
Article 23. At various trading ports, taxes on French goods have been paid in accordance with regulations. Even if Chinese businessmen are brought into the mainland and cleared customs, they will only pay taxes according to the current regulations, and they are not allowed to claim fees. According to the current tariff, there is a criterion, and there is no need to increase it in the future. If customs officers violate regulations, cheat fees and increase taxes, they will be punished according to the example of China.
Article 24. French ships enter various trading ports, and if they unload here, they will be delivered according to the quantity of unloading; Those who want to take the rest of the goods to other places for unloading and sales will also pay elsewhere. If a Frenchman has paid for the goods at this port and wants to ship them to another port for sale, he must report to the consular officer, notify the customs, inspect the goods, and if they are in good condition, give a license to show that the goods have been paid for at a certain port. As soon as the merchant enters another port, he will show the license plate to the consular officer, hand it over to the customs, and check for tax exemption, that is, unload the license plate without any charge; However, if smuggling, counterfeiting and other unhealthy practices are found, the goods will be strictly brought into the official.
Article 25 Unless specially authorized by the government, no goods shall be transported without unpacking, and must be transported without unpacking. If it is exempted from stripping, the merchant shall notify the consular officer and give him a permit, which will allow him to strip the goods. Customs can be continuously monitored by professional service personnel. If there are people who steal goods privately, all the goods they steal privately will be handed over to the official, except for accidental danger.
Article 26. All scales, rulers and other articles issued by the customs at various trading ports should be given a score, and the more accurate ones should be sent to the consular office for safekeeping. The weight and length are the same as those of Guangdong Customs, and each piece is stamped with the words of Guangdong Customs. All paper money and wages paid in silver in China should be exchanged in this proportion. If there is any dispute about the weighing of goods, this formula shall prevail.
Article 27. The French people should pay their bills and salaries according to the tariff rules formulated by the imperial envoys of the two countries and the attached articles of association. However, because the goods of two countries at a time, or local products, or different processes and different values, the tariffs are different, and cooperation is allowed once every seven years. Within seven years, the fixed tax amount shall not be increased, and there shall be no other expenses. Where the French have the money to pay, their goods are included in the rules, and they are not prohibited or restricted, whether they are brought in from their own country or other countries or wherever they are taken. Qing Dynasty shall not impose prohibitions or restrictions on the goods in the case. If you change the rules in the future, you should get the consent of Great France before you can change them. As for the present and future tariffs and regulations, French businessmen will follow them everywhere, just like a country that loves them deeply.
Article 28. The customs duties stipulated in the deposit shall not be used as an excuse for smuggling. I believe that French merchant ships will not engage in smuggling activities at trading ports in the future; If there are businessmen and ships smuggling in various ports, regardless of the price and goods, list the prohibited items and leakers, and the local officials will take them into the official. In China, smuggled ships can be prohibited from entering China at will, or they can be ordered to settle accounts and export immediately. If other countries use the flag of Great France falsely, Great France will try to ban it to curb unhealthy trends.
Article 29. The great French emperor allowed his troops to berth in various trading ports in order to crush merchant sailors, so that the consul could have authority. In the future, all soldiers and ships are bound to make trouble, that is, instruct ship owners to abide by the provisions of Article 33 on handing over ships and land to sailors. Negotiate agreements with soldiers and ships without charge.
Article 30. All French warships and ships that come and go to protect merchant ships and trade through China are received in a friendly way. Its warships are allowed to buy daily necessities, and if they are broken, they can also buy materials to repair them without any obstacles. If French merchant ships encounter rags and other reasons, they are in urgent need of import to avoid the wind, and they should be received in a friendly way anyway. If a French ship is damaged near the coast of China, local officials will know that it is a rescue, give them urgent needs, salvage the goods as much as possible to avoid damage, and work with nearby consular officials and local officials to try to get the merchant ship to bring people back to China to rescue the wrecked sawdust and goods.
Article 31. In the future, if China goes to war with other countries, China will not block the trade of Great France, nor will it trade with the countries at war, unless the enemy declares that it cannot advance. Where the French ship sailed from China to the enemy port, all the import and export goods were unimpeded, and the trade was the same as usual.
Article 32 All large French merchant ships, sailors, etc. Escaped, the consular officer and the ship owner informed the local officer, seized their strength and gave it to the consular officer and the ship owner for collection. If a serviceman from China escapes into a large French apartment or a merchant ship to hide, local officials will notify consular officials to find out the cause of the crime, that is, they will try to detain China officers; No one can have a little shelter for each other.
Article 33 Crew members must abide by binding rules and regulations when landing. All rules and regulations must be approved by consular officials, and local officials are required to take photos to prevent sailors from having troubles and disputes with mainlanders.
Article 34 When a large French merchant ship was robbed by foreign pirates off the coast of China, civil and military officials nearby immediately arrested it and punished it as usual. All stolen goods, no matter where and under what circumstances, are handed over to consular officials and handed over to the victims for collection. If the arrested person can't be stolen or can't get all the stolen goods, he will be punished according to the example of China, but he can't pay compensation.
Article 35 Any French citizen who has a grudge against China people should first raise it with the consular officer, make a detailed examination and try his best to mediate. If there are people in China who hold a grudge against the French, the consular officer will examine them in detail with an open mind and mediate for them. If there is a dispute, the consular officer can't mediate it, that is, it will be transferred to the China officer for handling, and check whether it is aboveboard.
Article 36. In the future, French people were framed, humiliated and harassed by China people at various trading ports, and local officials would try their best to protect them. More gangsters and lunatics tried to steal and destroy, setting fire to French houses, goods stores and houses built in various hospitals. China officials or visiting officials or consular officials wrote a note, immediately sent them to expel the henchmen and severely punish the bandits, and as usual, they should be severely punished. In the future, they will be allowed to pay compensation to those who should chase after filth.
Article 37 In the future, if China people owe debts to French shipowners and merchants, the French people shall not claim compensation from insurance merchants as usual, regardless of loss or fraud. However, the consular officer should be informed, the local official should be informed to investigate and deal with it, and the exporter should be ordered to pay compensation as usual. However, big French businessmen are not allowed to ask officials for compensation for those who owe money, or if they are not arrested, or if they are dead, or if their property is exhausted, they are unable to pay compensation. In case the French swindle China people's property, consular officials will try their best to recover it for China people, but China people are not allowed to demand compensation from consular officials and French people.
Article 38. Any dispute between French and China people, or a fight, or one or two people or more people are beaten to death by firearms and other equipment, are all from China, and will be severely arrested by China officials, punished according to China's example, arrested by consular officials, notified in time, and punished according to France's example. In the future, the French will agree how to punish them. In case of any other circumstances not specified in this paragraph, it shall be handled accordingly. Because of the established examples, if the French commit crimes like size in various places, they will be dealt with according to Great France.
Article 39. If there are differences between French nationals and foreigners, all disputes should be handled by French officials. If there is a dispute between the French and foreigners, China officials don't need to ask. China is not the manager of all places where French big ships trade, but is taken care of by French big officials and ship owners themselves.
Article 40. In the future, if the Dafa Emperor has any changes to its articles of association, he should first exchange the years of the articles of association and check the number of 12 years before further discussion with the Chinese side. If the articles of association formulated by other countries are not included in the provisions formulated by Great France this time, officials and people such as the consul of Great France cannot be restricted from observing them; However, in the future, China will be privileged, lenient, privileged and blessed, and other countries will also get it, and so will Great France.
Article 41 In order to show their good intentions, the Great French Emperor and the Special Envoy of the Qing Dynasty readily confessed all the differences they could recall in the past, which were not listed in the articles of association of this peace treaty. Therefore, all matters before guarding the Guangdong provincial capital have their own expenses. Now the two countries have reached an agreement to set an example by stages, and the cost is still the same as that listed in the articles of association of this peace treaty.
Article 42 Where articles of association such as reconciliation, trade and shipping are proposed, the ministers of the two countries shall draw up an oath and seal it, and report it to the Great Emperor. It is limited to one year from the date when the painting is signed and sealed. The great emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the great emperor of France exchanged visits and approved by hand, that is, exchanged photos in the capital. After the interaction, China will announce the articles of association of this peace treaty at home and abroad. The imperial envoys of the two countries sealed the articles of association as evidence. Xianfeng eight years on May 17th, that is,1June 27th, 858, after his birth, he used the Customs Guard in Zhili Tianjin in quadruplicate, two for each party.

Section one. Zhang Mingfeng, the magistrate of Xilin County, dared to kill Father Ma who preached in his own country. If he is guilty, he should dismiss the sheriff and make it clear that he will never take up his post again.
Section 2. After Xilin county was dismissed, it was informed by the French imperial envoy, and the reasons for dismissal were reported in Beijing newspapers.
Section 3. All articles belonging to Dafa nationals and their protected persons in Guangdong provincial capital were burned or robbed by the people before Dafa and British soldiers entered the province, and all were compensated according to the amount.
Section 4. China officials stubbornly refused to let Great France make up for its claims, resulting in a large number of military supplies, which must be compensated by Guangdong Customs. Its compensation for silver and military expenses is about two million and two thousand; The income of the French ambassador to France should be transferred to the bank and the license should be withdrawn. The two million will be paid once a year in six installments, either in silver or by money order, or by Guangdong Customs. In the future, all businesses that have paid import and export taxes in their own countries will be allowed to measure the tax, with nine cents and one cent. The first time was from the date when the imperial envoys of the two countries drew up the articles of association, and it took about one year to pay. When Guangdong is taxed, if only the conference fee is charged every year, then the conference fee is worth two-quarters of the 333,333 San Qian, that is, one-sixth of the tax. Later, in Guangdong, China Daxian, together with the French imperial envoys, sent personnel to hold a pre-meeting meeting, set up a schematic seal of the meeting sheet, how to settle the money, how much each meeting is worth, and how to cancel it after paying the money to avoid repetition.
Section 5. As soon as China pays the sum mentioned in the previous paragraph, whether it is silver or the list of customs meetings, French soldiers will immediately withdraw from Guangdong Province. However, it is not necessary for China to hand over the interview list in advance, one after another and with a clear year number, and keep it in the consular office.
The items listed in the above paragraph 6 are still the same as those listed in the articles of association of the peace treaty, so the ministers of the two countries signed the decree.
Xianfeng eight years on May 17th, that is,1June 27th, 858, after his birth, he used the Customs Guard in Zhili Tianjin in quadruplicate, two for each party.
