摘要
甲午战争后重庆日租界设立的过程与其他口岸明显不同,历经预定、搁置、确定三个阶段。1896年,日本驻上海总领事珍田舍己赴重庆实地考察,认为暂无必要将此租界确定,但又担心适宜地段被他国抢占,经与中方反复交涉,签订《五条协定》,将租界预定。随后,此案被搁置将近5年,日本通过现地领事加藤义三施以严密管控,防止外国觊觎。1901年,日本外务省上下考虑到川江轮航渐有起色,亦担心英法等国利用即将到来的和谈机会向清政府索取中国西部权益,进而波及尚处预定状态的重庆日租界,遂训令驻渝领事山崎桂以当年协议内容为基础重启交涉,最终将该租界确定下来。重庆日租界的确定标志着日本在中国西部内陆取得了发展势力、播植利权的立足点,亦映衬其于甲午战争后对华侵略扩张的急进态势与长远图谋。
The process of establishment of the Japanese concession in Chongqing following the First Sino⁃Japanese War markedly differed from that of other treaty ports,unfolding in three distinct stages:reservation,suspension,and finalization.In 1896,the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai,Sutemi Chinda,conducted an on⁃site investigation in Chongqing.He be⁃lieved that immediate formalization of the concession was unnecessary at that time.However,fearing that advantageous loca⁃tions might be seized by other powers,he engaged in repeated negotiations with Chinese officials and signed the Five⁃Article Agreement to reserve a concession site.The matter then remained suspended for five years,during which Japan,through the local Japanese Consul Yoshizo Kato,maintained strict oversight to prevent other foreign countries from coveting the concession site.In 1901,realizing that steam navigation on the upper Yangtze River was developing gradually and anticipating that Brit⁃ain,France and other powers might extract privileges in western China during the upcoming peace talks,which would poten⁃tially affect the still provisional Japanese concession in Chongqing,the Japanese Foreign Ministry issued instructions to the Consul in Chongqing Katsura Yamasaki to resume negotiations based on the 1896 agreement.This ultimately led to the formal establishment of the Japanese concession in Chongqing.The finalization of the concession thus marked Japan's acquisition of a strategic foothold for expanding its influence and economic interests in western inland of China.It also underscored Japan's ag⁃gressive expansionist momentum and long⁃term schemes for its invasion and expansion in China after the Sino⁃Japanese War of 1894-1895.
