清光绪年间中朝海洋走私案交涉研究(1882~1894)——兼论晚清政府在朝鲜领事裁判权的虚实

A Study of Negotiations between China and Korea over Maritime Smuggling during the Qing Guangxu Reign,1882-1894:Concurrent Discussion on the Reality behind the Qing Dynasty's Consular Jurisdiction in Korea

清光绪八年至二十年间,朝鲜西海域华商走私较多。这既与朝鲜商民招引甚至诓骗有关,也与当时朝鲜开港后地方行政不规范分不开,甚至与日本对朝鲜经济扩张相关。为了抵制日本对朝鲜的经济扩张,晚清政府和朝鲜官方对于华商走私行为采取了暧昧态度。因此,在这一时期朝鲜西海域华商走私贸易案的审判中,晚清政府的领事裁判权只是有形无实,并不存在晚清政府利用领事裁判权单方面偏袒华商的现象。

From the eighth to twentieth year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty,many Chinese merchants engaged in smuggling in the western maritime frontier of Korea.The trickery and deception of merchants played a role,but much more important was the uneven nature of local administration after the Choson court was forced to open up treaty ports,as well as Japanese economic expansion on the peninsula.To counter Japanese designs,both the Qing government and Choson officials tacitly tolerated the smuggling.In cases involving smuggling,this same attitude played the main role in decisions and not the Qing use of consular jurisdiction to purposely favor Chinese merchants.
