It was only the next day that Gong Jianyang summoned representatives of the various banner league tribes to a meeting to discuss the restructuring of various ministries. At this time, the representatives of the various banner league tribes can basically only accept their fate, after all, they can't fight, they can't escape, not to mention that even Jebtsundamba VIII also expressed his position at the meeting, fully supporting the resolution of Kulun**, and saying that the original system should have been changed a long time ago, and the system of East China ** is the correct system in line with the will of heaven and so on.

Although the deputies were not self-reliant about Jebtsundamba's statement, they also understood that Jebtsundamba VIII had completely fallen to the side of East China, and it seemed that what could he do other than accept the conditions of East China? Some of the leaders of the Qimeng tribes who came in person were thinking about how to keep more property after they returned, while the other deputies were thinking about how to persuade the leaders of the tribes to not confront East China.

The meeting went very smoothly, and after the meeting ended, Gong Jianyang immediately organized a working group to carry out work in various banner league tribes.

Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang led the troops, leaving Kulun and returning to Jinzhou. On the way back, there was nothing else to do, and the main experience of Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang was to write a summary report of the war. The People's Army's records of each war are very detailed, so the information of the two men is very sufficient, and after consultation and repeated revisions, the report will be completed by the time the team arrives in Chifeng.

The army was temporarily stationed in Chifeng, and Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang returned to Jinzhou to report to the headquarters. However, when the two arrived in Jinzhou, they received an order from the Military Commission, and the Jinzhou Command was officially abolished, and Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang were notified to go to Qingdao with a summary report to report the situation of the war to the Military Commission.

The Jinzhou Command was originally a temporary organization set up for the Mongol War, but now that the Mongol War has ended, it is normal for the headquarters to be cancelled. And letting the two go to Qingdao to report the results of the battle is still for the use of armored forces, in addition, in terms of this war alone, there is basically no great value in military practice. Of course, being able to go to Qingdao and report to the Central Military Commission is not only a great honor, but also a great benefit to the future prospects of the two of them.

So after receiving the order from the Military Commission, the two of them also immediately got up and prepared to rush to Qingdao. At this time, Gao Jin, the mayor of Jinzhou City, also received an order from the Qingdao Executive Yuan to be transferred to Shenyang as deputy mayor, but he had to go to Qingdao to take over the appointment and report, so the three of them could travel together. Board the ship at Huludao Port and sail to Qingdao.

Although Gao Jin left office less than two years after taking office in Jinzhou, it is normal at this time, but there is another reason for Gao Jin's transfer this time.

It turned out that after the People's Army occupied Kulen, the Qing court finally couldn't help it, and sent a request to East China for negotiations, and put forward two kinds of basis for negotiations, one is the merger of the two sides to form a union, and the other is that the Qing court gave up the land in the north and moved to the south, and the two sides took the Yangtze River as the boundary, went their own way, and reached a peace agreement.

At the same time, the consuls of Britain, France, the United States and Germany in Qingdao also frequently sent suggestions to East China, hoping that East China would actively respond to the Qing court's suggestions and resolve the contradictions and differences between East China and the Qing court in a peaceful way, rather than war, so as to avoid humanitarian disasters, and at the same time expressed their willingness to serve as a mediator between the two sides.

On the other hand, China's major newspapers have also published articles calling on East China to accept the Qing court's proposal, hold peace talks, settle peacefully, avoid war, and so on. It has always been known for defending the interests of China, so it is possible to accept the peace proposals of the Qing court, and some newspapers believe that in order to achieve peace, the Qing court must show sufficient sincerity, and Bi Jinghuadong** has made a great deal of proof in safeguarding national interests, and the Qing court obviously did not have enough proof in this regard.

East China has always attached importance to public opinion propaganda and guidance, and has always been to create a positive image of public opinion for itself, and this time the Qing court's suggestion has obviously begun to pay attention to the role of public opinion propaganda, and has achieved certain results, first of all, although the Qing court is as a weak party, but after all, it is still the legitimacy of China's legitimate ruling in name ** Moreover, after the Qing court entered the customs, it has a history of more than 260 years, and the idea of imperial power has been deeply rooted in the Chinese people, so the Qing court took the initiative to conduct peace negotiations, which can indeed win a lot of support.

The second is that Chinese society generally rejects war, so if the hostile contradictions between East China and the Qing court can be resolved peacefully, without war, of course, everyone wants to see the result. In addition, the land system of East China is also a place of great controversy, and now China's public opinion is still in the hands of the gentry and sages in addition to the jurisdiction of East China, and they are quite exclusive to the land system of East China, but they also know that no one can stop East China now, but if East China and the Qing court negotiate successfully, it is expected to avoid the land system of East China.

Even if the final result is that the two sides form a coalition, then the Qing court will inevitably have a say in this **, and can naturally ask East China ** to make changes in the land system; and if it is the division of the north and the south, it will be even better, so the whole south can avoid the land system of East China**, and although the north can't hide, but Bi Jing's economic center is still in the south, and most of the territory of East China ** is in the north, and the Qing court can only control Hebei, Shanxi, and Shaanxi three provinces. I can only ask for more blessings.

Once the Qing court's request for peace talks was put forward, with the support of various countries, coupled with the impetus of public opinion, a trend soon formed, which was almost rejected by East China.

Sure enough, when time ran out, Huadong** publicly released its own response, saying that Huadong** was willing to negotiate with the Qing court to peacefully resolve the hostile situation between the two sides and avoid war. However, East China can only accept negotiations based on the formation of a coalition between the two sides, and reject the division of the north and the south, on the grounds that China has been a whole since ancient times, and although there will be a situation of confrontation between the north and the south in history, it is a temporary phenomenon, and it will eventually be reunified by the north and the south, and East China will never be a sinner in the division of the country, so it will never choose the plan of the division of the north and the south; in fact, it is East China Reject the mediation and peace of various countries, because this peace negotiation is China's internal affair, and the Chinese are fully capable of solving their own affairs, so it is not necessary to involve external countries.

After the release of the statement of East China, a counterattack in public opinion was launched, and one side published an article in support of the statement of East China, any attempt to split the country, as well as the introduction of external forces, is a traitorous act, and only the plan of East China is the correct way to truly seek a peaceful solution to the current hostile situation and avoid war.

There are also articles that express doubts about the sincerity of the Qing court, and believe that the main reason for the success of the peace negotiations and the formation of a coalition is whether the Qing court can give up its own power, because the success of East China has proved their ability to govern the country, and if the two sides want to form a coalition, the Qing court must be willing to hand over power to the leaders of East China, so that they can take full charge of China's political affairs, so that China's prosperity and strength are just around the corner. However, with the nature of those in power in the Qing court, it may be difficult for them to reluctantly hand over the power in their hands, so the chances of success in the peace talks are not very high.

Obviously, the reaction of East China ** was unexpected by the Qing court, because from Cixi's heart, she hoped to choose the division of the north and the south and form a coalition**, not only was it difficult for the Qing court to divide enough power from it, but Cixi herself was difficult to preserve, after all, she was only a queen mother in name, not an emperor. Cixi's original calculation was that in the negotiations, she deliberately did not give in to the formation of a joint **, and introduced the negotiations into the plan of the division of the north and the south.

But now that public opinion has been created, and the requirements put forward by East China ** are also reasonable, and have been supported by the vast majority of public opinion, so the Qing court can't help but be a little difficult to ride a tiger, if you refuse at this time, it is undoubtedly a slap in the face, but agree to East China**'s plan, Cixi understands in her heart that there is absolutely no good fruit to eat, and she is also in a dilemma.

The Qing court was in a tangle, but East China ** was still preparing step by step, if the Qing court accepted its own conditions, then talk, and then fight when the talks could not be completed; if the Qing court refused, of course it would still fight. But fighting a war is not only a matter of the army, but also post-war management, so at this time, East China should also prepare to take over the administrative team in Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places after the war and select elite soldiers.

The mayor and deputy mayor of Shenyang have been elected to take over the administrative team after the war, so Gao Jin was transferred to Shenyang this time, in fact, he is preparing to take over the position of mayor of Shenyang, but now the mayor of Shenyang has not left office, and Gao Jin can only serve as deputy mayor for the time being, and at the same time, he is also using this time to familiarize himself with the situation in Shenyang and prepare for taking over as mayor.

Since Shenyang is the provincial capital, and Gao Jin is actually going to the position of mayor of Shenyang, Gao Jin has to go back to Qingdao to take over the formal appointment of the Executive Yuan before taking office, and then go to Shenyang to take office. Although Gao Jin's tenure in Jinzhou is not long, but in Jinzhou has also achieved quite good political achievements, is the Executive Yuan focused on cultivating the object, coupled with her family strength, has achieved this rare opportunity that is almost equal to two levels of promotion, if nothing else, then she will be the first female mayor of East China to serve as a provincial capital city.
