Of course, the Qing court's handling of the Qingzhou incident could not satisfy the East China government, although the Qing court officially issued an edict confirming that Wen Rui had rebelled, and also agreed to send Zhan Tianyou to Shandong to work for the East China government. However, another goal of the travelers was to completely abolish the official position system in Shandong, and the Qing court not only did not abolish the official system in Shandong, but on the contrary, it still held the right to appoint and dismiss officials in Shandong in its own hands, and only promised to grant official positions to the people recommended by the travelers. Of course, such a resolution will not achieve the objectives of the East China Government.

In addition, although the Qing court sent Zhan Tianyou to Shandong, it still played a small trick, that is, to give Zhan Tianyou an official position as the governor of the Shandong Railway Bureau, although neither the Qing court nor the East China government has such an institution as the Shandong Railway Bureau, but with this official title, then strictly speaking, Zhan Tianyou is still an official of the Qing court, and theoretically speaking, the Qing court can transfer Zhan Tianyou out of Shandong at any time.

Although the political skills of the Yue piercing may not be as good as Cixi, it has more than 100 years of historical experience than Cixi, and in the era before the time, various political science and political theories have been very mature, not to mention that in the old time and space, the credibility of Cixi and the Qing court was not high, so it was impossible for the traveler to believe in the promises of Cixi or the Qing court.

However, the more piercing did not have too much entanglement with the Qing court, after all, the Qing court had agreed to the two conditions of the traverser, and now the more penetrating people did not want to turn their faces with the Chunting immediately, after all, the benefits of this would outweigh the disadvantages of the East China government. Moreover, the East China government still has a way to deal with the local officials sent by the Qing court.

Of course, the East China government did not plan to recommend a list of local officials to the Qing court, because that would not make much sense, the East China government still implemented its own official system, and implemented the measures of de-Qing in Shandong, and if the Qing court still wanted to send officials to Shandong, then let him send them, but the local officials that the East China government had taken in the past to empty the Qing court was a very good method, and now it can still be used, and it can be a little more radical.

Originally, in order to take care of the emotions of the Qing court officials, the East China government was relatively polite to the local officials of the Qing court, although they were hollowed out, but unless some officials took the initiative to trouble the East China government, the East China government generally took a blind attitude towards the local officials in Shandong, including the errand officials, and also retained the official mansions, so the Qing court officials could also show their sense of existence. But now it is different; first of all, we must take the initiative to warn the local officials in Shandong not to make trouble and not to interfere in the administration of the East China Government; moreover, they will directly occupy the official mansions and turn them into the offices of local governments, or directly dismantle them, so that the officials can find other places to live, and the officials will be completely eliminated by rectifying, banning, and co-opting, so that the local officials in Shandong will almost lose all their sense of existence, and even their symbolic meaning.

In fact, after the Qingzhou Incident, the officials of the Qing court have regarded going to Shandong to serve as a dangerous purgatory road of death, and even become a means for Qing court officials to eliminate dissidents and attack political opponents, and the officials sent to Shandong by the imperial court have all looked for ways to find a way around, pull connections and change positions, or would rather resign than do not go to Shandong to take office, after all, although the official is good, but he must save his life. As a result, only 12 out of 10 local officials actually took up posts in Shandong.

Some of them worked hard to manage their relations in the hope of being transferred to another party as soon as possible, while some simply resigned and left this place of right and wrong, and some officials had no way to be transferred, and they were in love with the beans and did not want to resign, so they simply stayed at home in the official residence, did not care about anything, and just waited for the expiration of their term of office, and the imperial court would naturally make new arrangements for themselves; there were also a small number of local officials, and most of the errand officials were optimistic about the prospects of the East China Government, so they all took the initiative to take refuge in the side of the East China Government。

On the other hand, after the Qingzhou incident, the local forces and squires in Shandong also completely broke the hope of the imperial court, except for a few qualified squires who could move to other provinces, the rest of the local forces and squires could only choose to obey the orders of the East China government, so in the following East China government's land reform work in Shandong was also carried out much more smoothly, and there was basically no interference.

On the whole, the consequences of the Qingzhou incident have basically reached the expected goals of the traversers.

Two weeks after the Qingzhou incident, the troops sent by the East China government to the Qingzhou area also arrived, and they were part of the newly formed 2nd Division. The Second Division is the second Division of the People's Army, which is responsible for garrisoning Qingdao. The 3rd Division, which is being formed, will be responsible for garrisoning Yanzhou Mansion in the future.

Originally, according to the division of defense zones according to the Central Military Commission, Shandong Province's defense was divided into three aspects: First, the Jinan garrison, which included Jinan, Wuding, Dongchang, and Linqingzhou, and was mainly responsible for the defense of Shandong's northwestern region; first, the Yanzhou garrison, which included Yanzhou, Caozhou, Yizhou, and Jining, and was mainly responsible for the defense of the southwestern part of Shandong; and the Qingdao garrison, which included Qingzhou, Tai'an, Laizhou, and Dengzhou, and was mainly responsible for the defense of the coastal areas and territorial waters in eastern Shandong.

After handing over to the army that took over Qingzhou, Luo Yue led his troops to leave Qingzhou and go to Jinan to join the division headquarters. He was accompanied by the families of the banner people who died in the Qingzhou Rebellion, about 2,500 households and more than 7,000 people, all of whom were resettled in Jinan, which was actually a service. Although there is a shortage of young and middle-aged men in this group, for the East China government, young and middle-aged women are also laborers, not to mention that young and middle-aged women have other uses. There are still a large number of single fighters in the KPA.

After more than 10 days of marching, Luo Yue and his entourage arrived in Jinan and joined the division headquarters. At this time, the first division had been stationed in Jinan for almost a month. The People's Army's barracks were located in Luokou Town, northwest of Jinan, where barracks facilities were being built at this time. And the army can only live in tents for the time being. Fortunately, it was June and the climate was hot, so it was not cold to live in the tent. And the prisoners were also arranged to work in the military district.

Division commander Zhang Zhengjie met with Luo Yue and introduced the situation during this period of time like Luo Yue. It turned out that just over a month ago, Yuan Shikai had led the Qing army to launch an attack on the remnants of the Boxers in Zhili, Henan, and Shandong.

At this time, Jing Binting, Zhao Sanduo, Li Zhuangyong and others were quite powerful, and at this time they had already captured the three places of Daimyofu, Yande Mansion and Guangping Mansion, with a total of 18 county seats, a population of nearly 2 million and an army of more than 80,000 people.

This time, Yuan Shikai sent troops, only more than 15,000 troops, divided into two ways to attack, one was led by Wang Shizhen, more than 5,000 troops, from Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi, to attack Yande Mansion, and the other was led by Yuan Shikai himself, a total of more than 7,000 troops, from Baoding Mansion to the south, attacking the Daimyo's Mansion, and the two ways were clamped and attacked. Feng Guozhang led more than 3,000 artillery to respond.

In fact, although the number of remnants of the Boxer Rebellion was large, there was no unified command, Jing Binting was only the leader of the alliance in name, and the actual rebel army was divided into more than 10 relatively independent armed forces, and only when there was a battle, it was combined according to the willingness of the various armed forces. However, among them, Jing Binting, Zhao Sanduo, Li Zhuangyong, Xia Sizhi and others have the largest number of people, and they also have the greatest military achievements, but there are only more than 10,000 people, controlling the Daimyofu and the five nearby county seats, and the population under their rule is about 60 thousand, which is also the strongest of the various Wu Pei forces.

In fact, with the population controlled by Jing Binting's department, the size of the army could have been expanded a little more, but Li Zhuangyong had always been accustomed to them to the truth that soldiers were not too expensive, and Jing Binting and others also followed Li Zhuangyong's suggestion, and basically only selected young and middle-aged men to expand the army, and the old, weak, sick and young were not used.

And Li Zhuangyong's subordinates have also expanded to more than 800 people at this time, and are divided into two parts, one part is the musket team, a total of more than 200 muskets of various kinds, and the other part still uses cold weapons, Li Zhuangyong has a relatively strict selection of people, and the training level is much higher than other teams, and he also pays attention to collecting weapons and armor and other equipment in peacetime, so although the number of his team is not much, but the best equipped and strongest combat effectiveness in the rebel army, and the combat is active, never to preserve strength and passively avoid war, it can be said that Jing BintingHalf of the exploits of Zhao Sanduo's forces were brought down by Li Zhuangyong.

Xia Siyong was quite interested in Li Zhuangyong's military training methods, so he often talked with him, and found that Li Zhuangyong still had a certain understanding of the overseas world and the powers of the world, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Knowing that the Qing court would send troops to attack him, Jing Binting, Zhao Sanduo, Li Zhuangyong, Xia Sizhi and others discussed and decided to take the initiative to attack and capture Shunde Mansion first, so that they could set up a barrier before the Daimyo's Mansion, Yande Mansion, and Guangping Mansion. and invited other armed forces to send troops together, but many armed forces refused to preserve their strength, and in the end only 6 armed forces were willing to fight with Jing Binting and others, with a total strength of about 25,000 people.

However, after Yuan Shikai learned that the rebel army planned to capture Shunde Mansion first, he did not dare to be careless, and ordered Duan Qirui to take 1,000 troops first, set off lightly, and rushed to Zhangde Mansion day and night to guard, and at the same time urged Wang Shizhen to march from Shanxi as soon as possible to jointly attack the rebel army.

As a result, Duan Qirui led the army to march in a hurry, and finally rushed to Shunde Mansion one day ahead, and arranged a position outside the city. The rebel army attacked the position of the Beiyang New Army for three days, but in the face of the fierce firepower of the Beiyang New Army, it lost more than 1,500 soldiers, and failed to break through the defense line of the Beiyang New Army, and at this time Wang Shizhen broke into Henan Province, and defeated three rebel armies in a row in one day, captured Cizhou and Handan, not only cut off the connection between Zhangde Mansion and Shunde Mansion, but also approached Guangping Mansion.

And Jing Binting, Zhao Sanduo, Li Zhuangyong and others were also afraid that their back roads would be cut off by the Beiyang New Army, so they had to withdraw their troops from Shunde Mansion and retreat to Guangping Mansion. As a result, Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui met in front of Guangping Mansion, so the two sides started a fierce battle in front of Guangping Mansion.
