Although the East China Government is not afraid of holding international conferences, after all, the international situation has long been used to it in the old time and space. The size of the East China Government is not afraid of international sanctions. First of all, the international community is still a mess, without a unified international organization, nor a recognized international leader. The major countries in the world are not monolithic, but have their own ulterior motives and cannot organize a comprehensive international sanction at all. Secondly, the current global division of labor has not yet been formed, and the territory, population, and resources currently owned by the East China Government can fully support its own internal circulation development.

But this does not mean that the East China government can allow Japan and Russia to jump up and down in the international community and perform hard. If the two countries really organize an international conference, no matter the final result, it will be very unfavorable to the East China government in international public opinion. Moreover, it will also make the Qing opposition forces in the country feel strongly supported, thereby increasing their courage to fight against the East China government. Although this still cannot prevent the unified action of the East China government, it can also cause more trouble for the East China government.

Of course, the East China government is not fighting alone internationally. Not only does it have enough weight and status, but it has also made friends with a group of close-knit countries in the international community, so it has enough ability to fight back against Japan and Russia.

Therefore, the East China Government published commentary articles in its own news media, harshly refuting the actions of Japan and Russia, pointing out that the East China Government replaced the Qing court was a historical necessity, the general trend, and a just act; on the other hand, it also published articles in countries with good relations with it, such as Germany and the United States, pointing out that the Qing court represented backwardness and barbarism, while the East China Government represented civilization, progress, and openness, so the Qing court would inevitably go to destruction, etc.

The statement of abdication issued by Guangxu on behalf of the Qing court was also an important part of the public opinion counterattack of the East China government, because this not only provides sufficient legal conditions for the public opinion counterattack of the East China government, but also provides sufficient reasons for other countries that support the East China government. Although everyone understands the essence of this statement of the Qing emperor's abdication, it cannot be said on the surface.

At the same time, the East China Government also issued a warning to Britain and France through other channels that if Britain and France participate in an international conference led by Japan and Russia, the consequences will be borne by both countries themselves.

In fact, Britain and France do not want to organize or participate in this international conference discussing the situation in China at all, because both countries are very clear that such international conferences are only useful to small countries. Although the East China Government cannot be regarded as a formal country, its strength is by no means comparable to ordinary small countries. Therefore, such international conferences are of no use to the East China Government. Even if the resolutions that were not conducive to the East China Government were concluded at the meeting, they cannot be implemented unless the East China Government is used to force the East China Government to accept the resolutions of the meeting.

But now Britain and France cannot take force against the East China government, and even if it uses force, it may not be useful. After all, the Far East War has ended less than two years ago. Therefore, Britain and France cooperated with the actions of Japan and Russia, just wanted to take the opportunity to put pressure on the East China government. However, under the severe warning of the East China government, Britain and France also realized that the opportunity would not be possible, so they became much more low-key. Although they still criticized the actions of the East China government, they no longer responded to the international conference organizing an international conference discussing the situation in China.

As a result, after a quarrel between Japan and Russia, they suddenly found that world powers such as Britain, France, the United States, Germany and Austria were either not responding to their proposals or perfunctory and had no intention of cooperating. They also felt boring, because without the support of these countries, the international conference could not be held at all, so they gradually calmed down.

Of course, this international public opinion lawsuit did not end in a short while. During this period, Beijing's governance work was still in an orderly manner. After the Beijing Regional Management Committee announced Guangxu's abdication statement, it was the next step to deal with the embassies and consulates and embassies of various countries in Beijing.

In this time and space, due to the intervention of time travelers, the Qing court suffered much less losses in the transformation of the Boxer Kingdom than in the old time and space. It neither paid compensation to various countries nor allowed countries to have the right to garrison in the inland China. However, the time travelers and the Qing court were not in the same mind after all, nor did they completely dominate the negotiations between the Qing court and various countries. Therefore, in the negotiations between the Qing court and various countries, some of the interests were still lost. First, the embassy district was established within Beijing, which was not under the jurisdiction of the Qing court. In addition, the embassies of various countries allowed 200 soldiers to defend the security of the embassy.

The embassy area is mainly based on Jiaomin Lane in East, including the surrounding areas. The total length of east and west is about 1,600 meters, and the width of north and south is more than 900 meters, totaling about 1.5 square kilometers. In the area, there are embassies and consulates of 15 countries including Britain, France, Russia, Germany, the United States, Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Peru, Mexico, Cuba, and Japan. In theory, 3,000 troops can be stationed, but not all countries will place 200 soldiers. Therefore, the total force in the embassy area is about 2,000, and a commander-in-chief is established. Once an accident occurs, the commander-in-chief will be fully commanded by the army in the embassy. The current commander-in-chief is Lieutenant Colonel Jurgen Michels, the military officer of the French Embassy.

Another is that the expatriates in various countries in Beijing have judicial immunity from the Qing court, and they are only tried by the courts in the embassy district, while the Qing court has no right to supervise the trial. At the same time, foreign churches also explicitly stipulate that they are equivalent to diplomatic institutions and are protected by diplomatic rules. Of course, these conditions were established by various countries after learning from the lessons of the Boxer Rebellion.

Before the East China Government occupied Beijing, the ministers of various countries attempted to take the opportunity of negotiations to protect their interests in Beijing. Knowing that Zhang Zhidong was not deceived and did not allow the ministers of various countries to participate in the negotiations, he negotiated a surrender agreement with the East China Government. Although the attempts of various countries failed, they were still unwilling to accept it. So after the East China Government occupied Beijing, the countries jointly sent diplomatic notes to the East China Government, demanding that the East China Government recognize the rights of the embassy district and the privileges of citizens and churches in Beijing.

Of course, the East China Government cannot accept such conditions, but at this time, the East China Government had just entered Beijing, and everything was in trouble. There were too many things to deal with, and there was no time to deal with the affairs of embassies of various countries. Therefore, it adopted a cold treatment method and ignored it for the time being. Of course, it did not touch the embassy area and church.

After a few days, the East China Government had basically controlled the situation in Beijing, Qin Zheng began to deal with the affairs of embassies of various countries, gathered the ministers of various countries to the Qing court in Yishao, and announced in public that the Qing court had now officially perished, so the duties of the ambassadors of various countries to the Qing court had actually come to an end. The East China Government and other countries had another set of diplomatic relations and did not recognize the diplomatic status of the embassies of various countries in Beijing, so he formally notified the ambassadors of various countries to the Qing court that they are no longer diplomatic personnel and are not protected by diplomatic immunity. The embassy area was officially cancelled, and the East China Government would send troops to patrol and manage the embassy area.

The East China Government has no intention of establishing a diplomatic in Beijing for the time being, so diplomats from various countries stationed in the Qing court either evacuated from Beijing or stayed in Beijing as non-diplomatic personnel, but they did not enjoy the treatment of diplomats. Moreover, the original embassy would be delisted and could only be used as ordinary residents. The troops of various countries' protection embassy must evacuate, otherwise the East China Government would arrest them. Finally, Qin Zheng gave the ambassadors to various countries to decide to stay or stay.

This decision of the East China Government was naturally strongly protested by the ambassadors to the Qing Dynasty. The performance of the ambassadors to Russia and Japan to the Qing Dynasty was fierce, and the ambassadors to Britain and France were also very excited, accusing the East China Government of their actions of vienna for violating the principles of international diplomacy. In fact, the rules of international diplomacy were formulated at this time at the Vienna Conference in 1815, but the rules were formulated relatively roughly and not detailed. Moreover, the European countries participated in the Vienna Conference. Although the Qing court also accepted the diplomatic system of European countries, it had never officially recognized the Vienna Conference. Therefore, the protests of the ambassadors to the Qing Dynasty were of no use to Qin Zheng, saying that this was the resolution of the East China Government and could not be changed. I hope that the ambassadors to the Qing Dynasty would seize the time and decide their own stay or leave.

After a while of trouble, the ministers from various countries to the Qing Dynasty felt boring. Moreover, this matter could not be solved by making trouble here. In the final analysis, it still needs to be resolved from the national level, so they had to go back and report to the country.

Subsequently, countries also communicated with the East China Government through the Consulate in Qingdao, hoping to preserve the embassy in Beijing, and even if it was demoted to the level of the consulate, it would be acceptable. However, the East China Government was unmoved and once again emphasized that the Qing court had already perished. From a legal perspective, the mission of the embassies of various countries in the Qing court was over. The East China Government currently has no intention of establishing diplomatic institutions in Beijing. Although it is not ruled out that it will set up diplomatic institutions in Beijing in the future, the embassies of various countries in the Qing court should be cancelled. Even if they stay, they can only be a non-diplomat. However, the army must evacuate. There is no room for negotiation.
