After annihilated the Eight Banners garrisons, Luo Yue immediately ordered to march towards the North City with his captives. In order to lure the Eight Banners garrisons out, attacking the North City was actually just like a gesture. In fact, it was not really an attack on the city, but this time it was different. Several mortars were set up, and a few cannons were fired first, and then pushed the prisoners to the front of the formation, asking the defenders in the city to open the city and surrender.

Sure enough, after a few shots came down, the morale of defending the city was immediately destroyed by half. After the prisoners were taken to the front, the defenders in the city's resistance suddenly collapsed completely. The assistant leader Wu Yannian ordered the city to surrender. The People's Army entered the northern city of Qingzhou and immediately took over the important matters of city defense. The other Manchu powerful people, family members and others in the city restricted their movements. Then Luo Yue sent a battalion to the main city of Qingzhou.

Although the Eight Banners garrison left at this time, the order in Qingzhou city had not yet been restored. First, there were still many gangsters taking advantage of the situation to rob. Second, the battle between the People's Army and the Eight Banners garrison took place outside the city and could be seen on the city wall. Therefore, the local officials and residents of the Qing court in the city were anxious and did not know who to win. If the Eight Banners garrison won, what should they do if they returned to Qingzhou City to rob. And the overseas Chinese army was also unreliable. They were robbing land outside the city, winning the Eight Banners garrison and entering Qingzhou City, and not turning Qingzhou City over.

However, when the People's Army was at the city, there was no stop in Qingzhou City. First, the city was still in chaos and no one stopped the People's Army from entering the city. Second, it was impossible to prevent it. The Eight Banners garrison, which had been demolished in Qingzhou City for several days, was killed cleanly by overseas Chinese. How could Qingzhou City prevent overseas Chinese? Therefore, the People's Army was not blocked and entered Qingzhou City very smoothly. In this way, the two cities in Qingzhou, north and south were controlled by the People's Army, and the rebellion in Qingzhou was all calmed down.

The good news was sent back to the Qingdao Executive Yuan at dusk. Although the East China government also knew that it was not difficult to quell the rebellion, it only took one day, and it was not easy to determine the overall situation in one battle. Therefore, the Executive Yuan was very satisfied with the People's Army's advancement.

However, if the rebellion of Qingzhou Banners was quelled, the next step was the issue of the aftermath. In fact, such things would happen sooner or later. The Bijing Time Traveler wanted to replace the rule of the Qing court in Shandong, and to implement land reform in Shandong and re-establish a new social order. Then the contradictions with the local forces, landlords and sovereigns, and the bannermen class would not be able to be integrated, so the contradictions would sooner or later intensify and erupt.

How to deal with the result of this incident is very important for the East China government, mainly reflected in several aspects: how to deal with the captured bannermen, and how to deal with the Qingzhou garrison Manchurian Banner City. After all, in this era, bannermen are still a relatively sensitive issue. It has been almost two years since time travelers came to this era, and it is the first time that they encountered this problem. In addition, how to negotiate with the Qing court. This is not only related to the relationship between the East China government and the Qing court, but also its future rule in Shandong.

So Xia Bohai recruited the Executive Yuan meeting overnight and invited Qin Zheng to participate to negotiate the Qingzhou issue. Someone joked with Qin Zheng: It’s all your fault for your son-in-law. You can quell the rebellion in Qingzhou so quickly. At least you will fight for one more day. If you send a report during the day tomorrow, you won’t have to hold a meeting overnight.

In fact, in the East China government, working and meetings are common at night. Because time travelers are not used to going to bed early, and most time travelers have not gotten married, the nightlife of this era is too simple, and playing games online is almost the most entertainment, either watching movies, karaokes, etc. Now the East China government is still in its early stages of its establishment and has a lot of work. Therefore, time travelers in government agencies work at night. Most administrative personnel will work for another 2-3 hours after supper before going to bed, and sometimes they will hold Executive Yuan meetings at night.

After more than three hours of discussion, the Executive Yuan reached a resolution to deal with the Qingzhou incident. First, it characterized the incident as a local conservative and backward force, and was unwilling to accept its power, property, land, and political status being deprived of by the East China government. Therefore, its rebellion and counterattack against the East China government, attempting to overthrow the rule of the East China government and regain its power to oppress the people, should be resolutely cracked down. The characterization of the bannermen is regarded as ordinary locals, so their handling of them is the same as before.

If the nature of this incident is determined, the subsequent handling method will be easier. The leader of the rebellion will be publicly tried and sentenced to warn other forces. The soldiers, bannermen and family members who participated in the rebellion have all moved out of the city and escorted to Wuding Prefecture to serve their sentences in the newly built Dongying Farm. In fact, they are participating in the rebellion. Dongying Farm is located at the mouth of the Yellow River. It is the terrain of the Yellow River Delta impact plains. The land is fertile. In the old time and space, China has built a huge farm here, which is under the jurisdiction of the Jinan Military Region. Therefore, the construction of Dongying Farm is also included in the content of the five-year plan. There is such a batch of free labor. How can it not be used?

The remaining population in the northern city of Qingzhou, whether it is powerful and civilians or coats, is politically equal, and all according to the principle of land reform, collect what should be collected and what should be divided into the administrative system of the East China government. In addition, since a large number of bannermen participated in the rebellion, a large number of houses would be vacant in the city, and the population would gradually move to the northern city to achieve mixed residence, break the isolation between the Manchus and the Han, and completely eliminate the independence of the Manchus.

Some people also suggested that the North City be demolished, even the city walls of Qingzhou were demolished. First, in modern warfare, the city walls were basically useless; second, this actually broke the isolation between Manchu and Han. Qingzhou City in the old time and space actually included the North City. However, the rule of the East China government in Shandong is underway, and the administrative and public security systems are not perfect. In this case, it is not advisable to demolish the city walls in various places immediately, but the city gates can be opened all day, so residents can enter and exit freely, and obstacles must not be set up without administrative orders.

Next is the formal establishment of the Qingzhou local government. It turned out that the East China government adopted the strategy of surrounding cities in rural areas for other prefectures and prefectures in Shandong except Qingdao and Jinan, that is, first complete land reform in rural areas outside the city, take the opportunity to establish a grassroots administrative system, and then control county towns, and finally control big cities like prefectures. This is to establish substantial rule in Shandong, and temporarily retain local officials of the Qing court, which is to avoid overstimulating the Qing court in the early stage; secondly, it is to allow time travelers to accumulate local management experience, so as to develop step by step.

But now that there has been a rebellion in Qingzhou, the People's Army has entered Qingzhou City, so it can no longer follow the previous plan and steps. It is necessary to establish a local government in Qingzhou like Jinan. This requires the recruitment of time travelers with urban management experience from Jinan and Qingdao to work in Qingzhou, so personnel arrangements must also be included in the plan.

The resolution to deal with the Qing court was a two-pronged approach. First, it was to discuss the Qing court in the name of the Shandong Governor, and characterized the Qingzhou rebellion as a rebellion. The East China government sent troops to quell the rebellion; while in private, it negotiated with the Qing court, accusing Wenrui of opposing the rule of the time travelers in Shandong, demanded that the Qing court recognize the actions of the time travelers, and define the act of the Eight Banners Army stationed in Qingzhou as a rebellion, so that both sides have a step to go. This also warns the local officials and forces in Shandong. On this acre of three-point land, the court has no authority and can only endorse the East China government.

Although the time travelers and the Qing court had reached an agreement, Shandong was actually equivalent to independence, in the famous discussion, the time travelers were still subordinates of the Qing court and were also granted the title of Shandong Governor, which gave the local officials and local gentry an illusion that the court had a certain binding force on overseas Chinese and could interfere in Shandong affairs. This would easily lead to unrealistic fantasies about the Qing court, believing that the court would sooner or later deal with overseas Chinese, or make things worse, and the court would come forward to take care of overseas Chinese.

Although the time travelers have always ruled in Shandong and tried their best to downplay the influence of the Qing court, the time has been short and the results of the Qing court have not yet been obvious. This Qingzhou Rebellion happened because Wenrui and others still had such fantasies. If Wenrui knew that the Qing court's influence in Shandong was basically zero, he would probably not act rashly. And the time travelers can use this incident to dispel people's unrealistic fantasies.

Of course, if the Qing court refused to recognize the Eight Banners Army stationed in Qingzhou to rebel, and on the contrary, it wanted to take the opportunity to attack and weaken the rule of the time travelers in Shandong, then the East China government would not be polite and simply formally independent and would not recognize the Qing court.

Although such consequences are not good for both sides, the Qing court is even more unable to bear this result. Because for the East China government, although it has lost its legitimacy, it has established its own armed army. It has a gun in its hand and is not panicked. At worst, it can only be suppressed by force. On the contrary, without the Qing court, the time travelers will be more free to act. It is possible to directly abolish the local officials of the Qing court and directly establish the administrative system of the East China government without any tricks such as fiction.

As for the Qing court's position, it is harmful to the time traveler without any benefit. From the perspective of profit, it is basically zero. Does the Qing court still have the power to attack Shandong and eliminate the time traveler? On the contrary, Shandong is close to Zhili, and half of Tianjin is in the hands of the time traveler. Once both sides turn against each other, Beijing is almost under the power of the People's Army's military. Cixi is probably ready to run away at any time. Taking a step back, even if there is no battle between the two sides, the Tianjin exit is in the hands of the time traveler, as long as the water transport is cut off, the Qing court will not be able to stand it.
