论李鸿章在中法战争前夕的务实外交——以李宝谈判为例

LI Hong zhang's Pragmatic Diplomacy in the Eve of the Sino-French War——Taking as An Example of LI Negotiations

中法双方由越南问题而引发的战争是中国近代史上一次有相当影响的战争。李鸿章作为晚清重臣直接参与了这场战争。在与宝海的交涉中,李鸿章不再拘泥于中越宗藩关系之虚名,而是从国家安全利益出发,与法国划定鸿沟,防止法国以越南为跳板侵略中国西南。可以说,《李宝协议》的签订,实为李鸿章务实外交的成果。

The war between China and France caused by the Vietnam issue was one of influencing wars on the modern history in China. As the late Qing Dynasty Minister, LI Hongzhang was directly involved in the war. And in the negotiations with Bao- hal, Li was no longer rigidly adhere to the suzerain--vassal undeserved reputation of Sino--Vietnamese relations, but from national security interests, and prevented France from aggressing against southwest China using Vietnam as a springboard. It can be said that the signing of ＂Li Agreement＂ is one of Li Hongzhang＇s positive result as pragmatic diplomacy.
