In fact, Russia's threat of war is nothing more than incompetence and violent. At this time, Russia did not dare to go to war with the East China Government. After all, the losses of the Far East War have not yet recovered.

However, Russia's war threat did not scare the East China government, but made Britain and France more vigilant, because Britain and France did not want another second Southeast crisis. Moreover, the two countries had great expectations for Russia and spent huge amounts of money to support Russia, hoping that Russia could restrain Germany in the East and form a strategic advantage when the situation in Europe was becoming increasingly tense. Naturally, they did not want to see Russia turn its energy to the Far East at this time.

Therefore, Britain and France immediately united and issued diplomatic questions to Russia whether Russia really planned to go to war with the East China Government. It also stated that Britain and France did not want to see Russia go to war with the East China Government, and at the same time, the economic aid of both countries to Russia was prohibited from being used for war with the East China Government.

Russia did not want to go to war with the East China Government, so after receiving diplomatic questions from Britain and France, it immediately told Britain and France that Russia had no intention of fighting with the East China Government. This time, it was the East China Government that refused to respect the Sino-Russia Beijing Treaty, the Sino-Russia Division of the Northwest Border, the Ulya Su-Taiwan Border Treaty and other treaties, and invaded Russia's territory without reason, and hoped that Britain and France could mediate and put pressure on the East China Government to withdraw from Russia's territory. In fact, this was another small trick of Russia. I hope to second the name of mediation and drag Britain and France into the conflict between the two sides. As long as Britain and France join in, it will only be beneficial to Russia.

However, Britain and France are both old players, so of course they saw this little trick from Russia. You must know that the things swallowed by the East China government will never be easily spit out. Moreover, the two countries do not have enough chips to put pressure on the East China government. Of course, even if there is one, it will not be used easily, at least for the benefit of Russia, so it is impossible to mediate. Moreover, the two countries have done the opposite. I hope that this time, I will teach Russia a lesson by using the hands of the East China government, so that Russia will completely give up on the Far East and completely focus on Europe.

So the two countries responded to Russia, which was a conflict between the East China Government and Russia. Britain and France did not interfere, and the East China Government did not invite the two countries to mediate, so they refused to mediate, expressing their hope that the two countries can properly and peacefully resolve the conflict between the two sides. At the same time, they reiterated that it is prohibited to use the two countries' economic aid to Russia to war with the East China Government.

Seeing that Britain and France were unable to pull Britain and France into the water, Russia was annoyed, but had no choice but to endure this time. In fact, the East China government sent troops toughly to take back the northwest of the Tanu Ulianghai, and wanted to teach Russia a lesson. After all, the East China government was also very annoyed by Russia's small actions. This time Japan launched the Southeast crisis, and Russia's instigation of support behind the scenes was also one of the reasons. Therefore, it is necessary to let Russia know that playing such a cleverness is useless and will be punished.

At this point, Russia had no other choice but to endure this breath and suffer a loss. At the same time, it also decided to not give in to the East China Government for the time being, but to find a way to turn it back after its national strength is restored. But the elders of the East China Government knew that Russia had basically no chance to restore its national strength, because in a few years, the First World War would break out. In that war, Russia would lose more miserably and lose more. Even if it was reborn as the Red Empire as the old time and space, it would have to wait at least more than ten years later. At that time, the East China Government had already unified the country, and its national strength was far from comparable to that of now, so there was no need to be afraid of the Red Empire that was once powerful in the old time and space.

Russia chose to surrender, and at this point, the northern military operations of the East China Government were basically over. In addition to the Gansu-Xingqing area in the northwest, northern China, including Outer Mongolia, Outer Xing'an Mountains, and Ussuri River basin, were all under the control of the East China Government. The territory area exceeded 5 million square kilometers. Although the remaining forces of the Qing court were still in the Gansu-Xingqing area at this time, it was not enough to affect the East China Government's rule over northern China.

Of course, although the East China Government stopped military operations, it did not give up the fight for the northwest region. It only changed its strategy and no longer used military operations as the main means. Instead, it backed by force. The Northwest Military Region officially entered Shaanxi Province, maintaining its strong troops in the northwest region, and then persuaded the former Qing officials in Gansu and Xinqing areas to surrender. It was hoped that the troops could be defeated without fighting.

The first person to persuade the surrender was Cen Chunxuan. In fact, Cen Chunxuan was not very loyal to the Qing court. After all, Cen Chunxuan was not a bannerman, and he was not even considered an Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

His loyalty was mainly to Cixi. During the Gengzi Reform, Cen Chunxuan was highly appreciated by Cixi for his great support. After the Gengzi Reform, he was highly praised by Cixi and was vigorously promoted. He was appointed as the governor and the highest official position, and reached the peak of his personal career. Therefore, Cen Chunxuan naturally had a grace to Cixi. However, in the old time and space, the Dingwei political tide occurred. Cen Chunxuan, as the backbone of the Qing sect, joined forces with Qu Hongsheng to launch a fierce political struggle with Beiyang faction leader Yuan Shikai and his backstage Prince Qing Yili. As a result, he was finally inferior in skills and was defeated. At the same time, he lost the trust of Cixi and dismissed from office. It was not until after Cixi's death that the Revolution of 1911 broke out, Cen Chunxuan was re-employed by the Qing court and became the governor of Sichuan. However, Cen Chunxuan did not take office and stood on the side of the revolutionary camp and announced his acceptance of the republic.

However, there was no Dingwei government tide in this era. Cixi's trust in Cen Chunxuan has not changed, and Cen Chunxuan's loyalty to Cixi was naturally the same as before. But now Cixi has become a prisoner of the East China Government. Although Cen Chunxuan joined the Puwei government, she was rejected. Puwei went south and did not lead Cen Chunxuan, but kept him in Shaanxi. Facing the front of the People's Army, Cen Chunxuan must have many complaints and dissatisfaction with the Puwei government. Therefore, there is still a high chance of persuading Cen Chunxuan to surrender.

Another object who persuaded surrender was the Seventh-generation Living Buddha Zhangjia who lived in Youning Temple in Qinghai.

Zhangjia Living Buddha is the largest reincarnated living Buddha of the Gelug Sect in Inner Mongolia. The first Zhangjia Living Buddha was born in Zhangjia Village, Hongyazigou, Huzhu County, Qinghai, so he was called the "Zhangjia Living Buddha". Later, Emperor Kangxi thought that the Zhangjia word "Zhangjia" was changed to "Zhangjia".

Among the four living Buddhas enthroned by the Qing Dynasty, Zhangjia Living Buddha had the highest political status. In the 45th year of Kangxi (1706), the Qing Dynasty appointed the Second Living Buddha Zhangjia Living Buddha as the great master of the initiation of Pushan Guangci. From then on, the title of "National Master" became the patent of Zhangjia Living Buddha, and none of the other three living Buddhas had received this title. There were also the place where Zhangjia Living Buddha was stationed in Mount Wutai, Qinghai, Beijing, and Inner Mongolia, and it was also the one with the most places where the four living Buddhas were stationed.

In the 52nd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1713), the Qing court officially stated that "the affairs of the Yellow Sect were from Tibet to East, and all of them were under the control of you." In other words, except for Tibet, Qingxin Gan Meng and other regions, the power of the church was managed by the Zhangjia Living Buddha system. Of course, because the existence of the Zhebu Zundanba Living Buddha in Outer Mongolia, the Zhangjia Living Buddha system was actually unable to control it, but from then on, the power of the Qingxin Gan Inner Mongolia area was officially under the management of the Zhangjia Living Buddha system, which shows the great power.

In November of the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727), Emperor Yongzheng formally issued an edict, determining the status of the four living Buddhas. In the edict, it pointed out that Zhangjia Living Buddha was above the other three living Buddhas, while the other three living Buddhas had equal status.

However, in terms of religious status, Zhangjia Living Buddha is far less than the other three living Buddhas. Before being enthroned by the Qing court, the other three living Buddhas were all prestigious religious leaders in the Tibetan Qing Dynasty and Mongolia region. The Qing court's enthronement was mainly due to the times, while Zhangjia Living Buddha system was established by the Qing court. The main purpose was to decompose the huge influence of the other three living Buddhas in Qingxin Gan Meng region and other regions. After all, these living Buddhas are not simple religious leaders in Qingxin Gan Meng region, but are united in politics and religion, and have great power and strength.

To be honest, these four living Buddha systems have made great contributions to the stability of the Qing court's borders. Since in the middle of the Qing court, the territory area once reached the highest level of feudal dynasty, these four living Buddha systems have also made an indelible contribution.

From then on, the pattern was officially confirmed. Although it seemed that the four Buddhas were respected, in fact, in terms of the ruling order of the Qing Dynasty, it was one high and three low. The Zhangjia system was honored by the "national teacher" and was stationed in Beijing to accompany the "secretly close to the skylight" and became the living Buddha system that the Qing emperors relied most.

The Zhangjia Living Buddha system is the most special. Its religious status is not high, and its actual influence is limited to the Huangbei area of ​​Qinghai. Although it is a "national teacher" and theoretically in charge of the teaching power of Qingxin Gansu Inner Mongolia region, its honor and status come entirely from the Qing court, that is, the central government. Once the central government is lost, the Zhangjia Living Buddha system will be immediately defeated back to its original form. Therefore, the Zhangjia Living Buddha system understands this truth very well. In the old time and space, keeping up with the pace of the times, in the great changes in the changing king flag at the head of the city wall in modern China, the Zhangjia Living Buddha system quickly completed a gorgeous turn several times without any worries. After the Xinhai Revolution, the Qing court became the Beiyang government, and the Zhangjia Living Buddha system successfully completed the transformation from the Qing national teacher to the Beiyang government. The Nanjing National Government was established, and the Zhangjia Living Buddha system naturally supported the Nanjing National Government.
