中法 《北京条约》 签订后， 法国派其首任驻华分舰队司令卜罗德指挥镇压太平军的 “华洋会剿”。 在 １８６２ 年的南桥之役中， 卜罗德中枪身亡， 成为被太平军击毙的最高级别外国将领。 本文详细考察了中外不同视角下的 “卜罗德之死” 及其死后各方的反应， 指出各方高规格祭奠卜罗德系出于各自不同目的。 清方希望换取法方在镇压太平天国方面的继续合作， 法方则将卜罗德视为拿破仑三世远东战略的执行者。 分析卜罗德来华的具体作为和对中国政局的影响， 可以深入揭示法国与清政府在 “华洋会剿” 中各自的利益考量和彼此间的微妙关系。

After the Treaty of Beijing in 1860，France assigned Protet，the first commander in chief of the French Naval Division in China Sea，to lead the joint operation with Qing Dynasty against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Protet was killed during the Engagement at Nanqiao in 1862，which made him the foreign commander with the highest rank who was killed by Taiping Army. This article examines the death of Protet from angles from both home and abroad as well as the reaction by related parties，also pointing out that the high-class memorial ceremonies by different parties are from their own purposes: Qing court wanted to win support from France to suppress Taiping Army while France viewed Protet as the executor of the Far East Strategy of Napoléon III to expand their impact in China. Through the analyses of what Protet did during his stay in China and the impact on the political issues，we can reveal in depth France’s reason of its own interest in the joint operation and its tricky relationship with China.
