The <entity_0> (Chinese: 鎮海之役) was a minor confrontation that took place on 1 <entity_2> between Admiral Amédée Courbet's Far East Squadron (escadre de l’extrême-Orient) and Chinese warships and shore batteries near the coastal city of <entity_3>, 12 miles (19 km) downstream from Ningbo, China during the <entity_1> (August 1884 – April 1885). The <entity_0> is still commemorated in China as an important Chinese victory in the <entity_1>. France and China signed preliminary peace accords on 4 April 1885, but the French maintained their blockades of <entity_3> and the Yangzi River until a substantive peace treaty ending the <entity_1> (the Treaty of Tientsin) was signed on 9 June. Admiral Rieunier later heard that the French might have captured all seven Chinese ships without loss had they attacked the <entity_3> defences on 2 <entity_2>. Chinese fortifications and cannon used during the battle are preserved at <entity_3> alongside a monument that bears the inscription 中法战争镇海之役胜利纪念碑, 'Monument to the victory in the <entity_3> battle in the <entity_1>'.
