The reaction of Tianjin was somewhat unexpected by Qin Zheng, and only one day later, the Executive Committee replied to Qin Zheng and agreed to Zhou Ping's proposal to send all the palace maids to Tianjin to be arranged by the Executive Committee. Instead, the Executive Committee has also formed a special working group, composed of female soldiers who have crossed the country and female natives who have returned to the country, and will also separately dispatch a special train to transport the palace maids, and demand that Beijing immediately make preparations for the organization of the palace maids, and as soon as the special train arrives in Beijing, they will immediately get on the train.

After receiving the resolution of the Executive Committee, Qin Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised, whether the decision of the Executive Committee was a little hasty, whether it was not a lack of consideration for the negative impact of the Crossing Group, so Qin Zheng had a simple communication with the Tianjin side through telegram, only to know that the Executive Committee had not considered the negative impact, but that this kind of impact was not big for the Crossing Group.

In fact, after Qin Zheng's telegram was sent to Tianjin, it attracted the attention of the Executive Committee, after all, there were more than 1,000 palace maids, which played a major role in solving the marriage problem of the traverser. Therefore, an enlarged meeting of the Executive Committee was urgently convened overnight. Everyone unanimously agreed with this suggestion, but they were worried about the impact of this incident on the entire Crossing Group.

However, Xia Bohai believes that there is no need to worry too much about this kind of impact, at most it is lace news, in fact, the Chinese are quite tolerant of this kind of thing, and it will die down after a few days, and it will not have any substantial impact on the crossing group, in the final analysis, this has nothing to do with the vital interests of the Chinese. Of course, a small number of literati or Taoists may hold on to it, but firstly, it is not this group of people who are the basis of the ruling of the crossing group, and they have never counted on this group of people; second, if they really talk about it, it still depends on who is better at telling stories, and the crossing group can even turn over the forcible confiscation of the landlord's land, not to mention the shelter of these palace maids, and they can publicize and justify themselves from the evil side of the palace maid system, after all, the crossing group shelters these palace maids so that they can get married and have children normally, and live a normal life, from this point of view, the behavior of the crossing group is completely justified。

On the other hand, in the final analysis, the ruling foundation of the crossing group is land reform, gaining the support of the peasants, who account for the vast majority of the Chinese population, and establishing a grassroots administrative system to improve the government's mobilization and execution capacity. Moreover, the interests of domestic demand across the group are also very important. To put it to the extreme, if the Crossing Syndicate ends up ruling China, then everything that has been done before will be correct.

After the communication, Qin Zheng also thought that Xia Bohai's opinion was not unreasonable, his previous scruples were indeed a little bit, in the final analysis, the ultimate goal of the crossing group is to comprehensively transform the China of this era, not to succumb to the China of this era. In this aspect of focusing on the overall situation, Xia Bohai does have more vision than himself.

Since the resolution has already been issued, it is natural that it will be implemented immediately and cannot be delayed. Because according to the agreement, after Li Hongzhang arrived in Beijing, the palace should be handed over to the Qing army to take over, and it would be much more troublesome to take all the palace maids away. So Qin Zheng also immediately recruited Li Songchen, * and others to negotiate.

Of course, this kind of thing is naturally the most suitable for a woman to be in charge, so this task naturally falls on Zhou Ping. Now there are a total of 23 female crossers and 35 female local returnees in Beijing. Zhou Ping recruited all these people and set up another working group to take responsibility for this work.

At present, the palace is mainly managed by eunuchs and palace maids, and the People's Army only guards the exits of the palace gates, and a battalion of troops is stationed outside the noon gate, patrolling the palace every other hour every day. The Beijing Provisional Management Committee has also set up a palace management office, which works in the inner cabinet lobby in the Xiehe Gate on the right side of the palace noon gate, mainly to deal with the needs of the palace, maintain order in the palace, and mediate and adjudicate disputes and contradictions in the palace.

Zhou Ping led the working group and a company of troops into the palace, and the person in charge of the palace management office had immediately received a notice, so he immediately recruited several old eunuchs who were now in charge of the palace and ordered them to immediately gather all the palace maids in the square in front of the Taihe Gate.

These old eunuchs originally had no power in the palace, but they had served in the palace for a long time and were older, so they slowly rose to the middle-level positions, in fact, the palace maids were the same. When Cixi and Guangxu fled from the palace, they took away the eunuchs and palace maids who were usually reused, and those who stayed behind were unwilled and unfavored. After the traverser took control of the palace, he saw that several of them were older, so they let them be responsible for managing the other eunuchs and palace maids.

Since they had never been in power before, and the time-travelers were very strict in supervising the palace, these old eunuchs did not take advantage of this to make a fortune in the palace, but were cautious everywhere. Now after receiving the order from the palace management office, although I don't know what the overseas Chinese want to do, the overseas Chinese have entered the palace twice in the past to check the body of the palace maids and eunuchs, but they have not recruited all of them like this, but have come in phases and batches. But they didn't dare to ask more, so they did it immediately.

About half an hour later, all the palace maids gathered in the square in front of the Taihe Palace, and more than 1,000 people almost filled the entire square. Zhou Ping stood on the steps in front of the Taihe Hall and announced in public that the crossing group had made a decision to bring all the palace maids in the palace to Tianjin and let them live the life of ordinary people. In Tianjin, court ladies will be educated and trained, so that they can find jobs, support themselves, and marry and form families at will.

After Zhou Ping finished speaking, there was a burst of "buzzing" discussions in the square, and most of the palace maids, as well as the old eunuchs who helped maintain it, changed their faces, after all, this news was too amazing.

But although the palace maids were surprised, they did not panic, and there were not even people who exclaimed loudly. Zhou Ping originally expected that the whole square would cry, and he was ready to use strong threats to suppress the palace maids, but all these means were useless.

It turned out that the rules in the palace were extremely strict, and they had to be quiet at all times, and the palace maids were not allowed to speak loudly, even if they were beaten, they could only grit their teeth and endure it. Since it is on an errand, it is not allowed to speak privately, and the palace maids have already formed a set of gestures and eyes to transmit information and express their intentions, but this method is not a dumb language with strict logic and regulations, so a large part of it requires personal experience, and it takes a long time to learn the process. However, this also made the palace maids develop the habit of Taishan collapsing in front of them without being confused, no matter what happens, they will not lose their temper to shout and scream. In the film and television dramas of the old time and space, the palace was full of trouble at every turn, and the earth-shaking phenomenon would not appear at all.

Moreover, the palace maids who stay in the palace are all people who are not favored and not reused, and they do not have a good impression of the life of the palace, and they can live a normal life, get married and have children like normal people, and it has also become the greatest hope of the palace maids. The age of the palace maid entering the palace is 13-15 years old, and according to the regulations, she must serve in the palace for 5 years before she can leave the palace and get married. However, generally speaking, the time for the palace maid to serve is 6-7 years, because there are many rules in the palace, the new palace maids need time to learn, and the palace naturally hopes to use more skilled hands, so the vast majority of the palace maids are over 20 years old when they leave the palace. However, the irony is that the more favored or more capable of doing things, the longer the palace maid will serve in the palace, generally serving until he is over 25 years old, and even 30 years old, and at this age, even if the palace maid is out of the palace, it is difficult to remarry, and some people even become monks.

After listening to Zhou Ping's words, the palace maids couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope after being shocked, after all, getting married and living an ordinary life out of the palace is very attractive to them.

In addition, after the People's Army took control of Beijing, the style of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was completely different, they did not harass the palace, nor did they bully the palace maids, and also sent people to check the palace maids and see a doctor, so this also made the palace maids also have a good impression of overseas Chinese, some palace maids chatted in private, and once joked that it was better to find an overseas Chinese to marry, than to continue to stay in the palace.

And although several old eunuchs were also shocked, they were also very wise and kept silent. Although these people were unwilling in the palace before, after all, they had served in the palace for a long time and experienced a lot of things, so they could not have this kind of vision, now is not the time for the Qing Dynasty to take power, the whole of Beijing is controlled by overseas Chinese, not to mention that all the palace maids are to be taken away, that is, to take all the eunuchs away, and even to demolish the palace, and they can't manage it themselves, so why bother looking for this is boring.

Seeing that the situation was not as chaotic as she thought, Zhou Ping couldn't help but lift her spirits, and immediately announced that all the palace maids would immediately line up to register their names, ages, places of origin, origins and other information, and arrange them in groups. After hearing this, the palace maids had no intention of resisting, they all lined up very consciously and registered one by one, which seemed very orderly, and they were really trained in the palace, which was indeed very different from the ordinary ladies and maids.

Now the traverser's train can accommodate 117 people per carriage, and the seats are also 3322 opposite rows, but each carriage needs to be reserved for the manager's position, so it can only seat 110 people. So the traverser divided the palace ladies into a group of 110 people, each 10 people were a group, and designated one person as the team leader, responsible for greeting the whole group, so that there would be no chaos when getting on the train.

After registering the information, each person will be issued a small card with their name, carriage number and seat number, which is conducive to management on the one hand, and even if they are separated in the train station at that time, someone will guide them to get on the train.
