Li Hongzhang briefly explained the previous and subsequent experiences to Prince Zhuang and others, and of course he ignored the matter in Tianjin, because there was no need to let them know about this matter. Anyway, this was the decision made by Cixi.

After listening to Li Hongzhang's speech, Prince Zhuang and Zhao Shuqiao also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, since Li Hongzhang had already agreed on the conditions with overseas Chinese, this was naturally the best result. Then it would be much easier to go to Tianjin to recruit overseas Chinese. A big stone finally landed, so the two of them were in a good mood and hurriedly persuaded Li Hongzhang to drink and drink.

After lunch, the train started again and headed towards Tianjin.

Since everything had been negotiated under the table, the subsequent things would be much easier. After the train arrived at Tianjin Station, Prince Zhuang and Zhao Shuqiao were also warmly received. Qin Zheng, on behalf of overseas Chinese, welcomed them and his group at the station and placed them in the Lishunde Hotel. Of course, the soldiers they brought were arranged in the military camp.

On the next day, Prince Qing and Zhao Shuqiao read out the imperial edict from the court to the leaders of overseas Chinese. Compared with the last edict, the content was not new, and all were rewards and praises. However, this time it clearly stated that the Qing court was willing to accept overseas Chinese and invited overseas Chinese to see the emperor in Xi'an. After the imperial edict was read, Prince Qing released the rewards from the court to overseas Chinese. Xia Bohai also expressed his gratitude to the Qing court on behalf of all overseas Chinese, but Xia Bohai also told the two that because they were about to negotiate with foreigners in Shanghai, it was not convenient to go to Xi'an to meet the empress dowager and the emperor in Xi'an, and then the negotiations were completed after the Shanghai negotiations were over.

Prince Qing sent this request to Xi'an to ask Cixi for instructions, and soon received a reply from the court, agreeing to the request of overseas Chinese, that the time for Xi'an could be delayed. The court ordered Li Hongzhang to go to Shanghai with overseas Chinese to participate in negotiations on the armistice between the countries. Although the Qing court and overseas Chinese have already negotiated the conditions, the Qing court and other countries have not yet negotiated the armistice between them. Theoretically, the Qing court and other countries are still in a state of war. Although the Eight-Nation Alliance has been completely defeated, if the conditions are not negotiated with other countries, the Qing court will still be uneasy in Beijing. To put it bluntly, whether it is various countries or overseas Chinese, they are forces that the Qing court cannot provoke, and it is impossible to offend any side.

Moreover, this time in the Shanghai negotiations, overseas Chinese undoubtedly occupy a strong position, and the Qingting and overseas Chinese are somewhat incest, so we can take advantage of the overseas Chinese to negotiate with other countries a result that is beneficial to the Qingting. Of course, only Li Hongzhang can accomplish this. Anyway, Li Hongzhang is now the Minister of Military Affairs, so he should naturally work harder.

At the same time, the court also issued new instructions to the imperial envoy and his party. The entire team was divided into two. Prince Zhuang led half of the soldiers to stay in Beijing to prepare for Cixi and Guangxu's return to Beijing, and asked overseas Chinese to cooperate with the Qing army's actions. Zhao Shuqiao led his other half of the army back to Xi'an and responded to the court.

Since we have negotiated with overseas Chinese, it is basically a foregone conclusion that the Qing court returned to Beijing. In this way, we naturally have to send people to Beijing to handle some preparations for Cixi and Guangxu's return to the palace, as well as the handover of garrison, public security, administrative and other work with overseas Chinese stationed in Beijing, as well as the early communication and contact with overseas Chinese stationed in Beijing, and handle relationships well. Prince Zhuang's identity and status are also enough to serve this responsibility. Of course, he was only the first batch of people entering Beijing, and then negotiated with overseas Chinese to increase the army and the entry of personnel. Of course, on the other hand, this is also a gesture, declaring to Beijing and the whole country that the court has returned, enhancing the reputation of the Qing court and balancing the political influence of overseas Chinese, simply put it in a sense of existence. Although the effect may be minimal, it is a step forward after all, which also shows that Cixi's political skills are indeed not simple.

Prince Zhuang was naturally happy after receiving this telegram, so he would not have to go back to Xi'an. Living in Beijing is naturally much better than living in Xi'an. Of course, it depends on whether overseas Chinese agree.

After consultation, the Executive Committee believed that it would not matter much to let these hundreds of Qing troops enter Beijing, because now there are three regiments in Beijing and nearly 10,000 reserve troops. They are not afraid that these hundreds of Qing troops can make a big wave. Therefore, if the Qing court wants to show his presence, he will let him do it. Anyway, the Time Travel Group had no intention of controlling Beijing for a long time. However, before the Time Travelers handed over Beijing to the Qing court for management, these hundreds of Qing troops, including Prince Zhuang, must respect the management rules set by the Time Travelers.

Of course, the time travelers and the Qing court are now all about the framework principles, and there are still many details that need to be further negotiated. If these details are not well discussed, the Qing court will not be able to return to Beijing, but the time travelers will not be able to let the Qing court get the desired result so easily, but this will have to be carried out after the Shanghai negotiations.

After the matter was handled, Prince Zhuang and Zhao Shuqiao visited some public works, factory facilities, etc. built by the Time Traveler in Tianjin under the arrangement of the Time Traveler. That night, Prince Zhuang, Zhao Shuqiao, Li Hongzhang and others were formally invited by the Time Traveler to watch a concert. This is of course one of the equipment and furniture that Time Traveler fought back against the public opinion storm in Shanghai.

It turned out that the public opinion counterattack plan formulated by *** was based on exhibitions and concerts. After this plan was approved by the Executive Committee, it immediately began to prepare. On the one hand, it arranged for people to make exhibition boards, furniture and design booths for exhibitions; on the other hand, it also started to do concert affairs.

In contrast, the exhibition is of course easier. After all, the exhibition is mainly based on exhibition boards. Just a few people do PS and find a few design stages. Therefore, the main focus of the work is on concerts.

First, several main persons were identified. Jiang Huanwu was the director of the concert. He was originally the producer of the program team, with Lin Mu as the deputy director, and also the photography and stage sound and lighting arrangement; Zhang Yang and Li Ying were respectively the chief and deputy director, and the two also served as the host of the concert. In fact, this was their job; Yang Sen, Gong Wenbo and Li Weibo, the captains of the three bands on the passenger and roar boat, served as executive director, executive producer, and artistic director respectively. At the same time, Yang Sen also served as chorus conductor and singing director; Gong Wenbo was both responsible for program arrangement and scene design, while Li Weibo was in charge of band and dance design. These seven people formed the responsibility group for this concert.

There are 26 people in the three bands, of which half are singers, 13, and the rest are musicians. Of course, the differences between singers and musicians in the band are actually not clear, and they can usually make guest appearances with each other. All singers naturally serve as lead singers and lead singers in the concert, and also serve as musicians at the same time, which can ensure that the musicians of each song are about 20.

The number of chorus personnel is determined by the responsibility group and will be divided into adult group and teenager group, and each group is divided into two groups, with 30 men and women in the adult group; 20 men and women in the teenager group, a total of 10 people. This phase can be matched in different combinations according to the performance songs, and a certain amount of rest and rotation space is also reserved. After all, it is quite tiring to have such a concert; at the same time, the teenager group also needs a lead singer, lead singer, and a dance group of about 15-20 people. In this way, the total number of participants is expected to be between 15-16 people, which can also be considered to be huge.

The chorus staff is determined by this. The adult chorus group and dance group are recruited from all time travelers. Of course, the chorus group has a relatively relaxed requirement. As long as the five views are correct and the voice is normal, it does not require a good singing skills, because this is a chorus after all. Of course, if there are particularly excellent ones, they can also be selected into the lead singer group. The dance group requires the applicant to have a certain dance foundation. In addition, if there are people who know musical instruments, you can also sign up to participate in the instrument group. After all, it is better to have more candidates.

As a result, after the recruitment announcement was released, a large number of people immediately signed up, because so far, there are still hundreds of time travelers who do not have a fixed job. In addition, some time travelers are not satisfied with their current work and want to try a different environment. Concerts are also a new thing. Time travelers have some experience in K-song in the old time and space. They basically don’t go out of tune when they say yelling, and there are basically music lovers, amateur song masters, and many people can even have music instruments and dances, which aroused the interest of many time travelers. In the end, the total number of people registered exceeded 9. After 3 days of selection, not only were all personnel in the adult chorus group and dance group determined, but also recruited 8 musicians, which was an unexpected gain.

The juvenile choir group selected the school in Hope according to the original idea. Because there are not many teenagers in the Time Travel Group, less than 60 minors under the age of 18, and the average age for teenagers is 13-16, which is the most ideal, so the range of options is even smaller, with less than 20 people. Now the school has passed by thousands of students. Zizhulin Church has long been insufficient as a teaching place, so several surrounding houses are included in the school. The Ministry of Education has applied to the Executive Committee, requesting to re-select the address in Tianjin and build a new school building. However, because the Time Travel Group has determined the relocation plan, I hope the school will definitely move to Qingdao with it. The new school building is naturally also built in Qingdao. In this way, the Ministry of Education can only temporarily shelve the plan for the new school building.

Now more than half of the students have been studying in the school for more than 5 months. In the old time and space, a semester has passed. This group of students have been able to perform basic reading, writing, calculations. Moreover, due to the improvement of diet, living conditions, and modern management and teaching, the students' mental outlook has undergone considerable changes. Compared with them before, although it cannot be considered a complete transformation, they should also look at it with admiration.

Moreover, in order to cultivate students' emotional intelligence, some time travelers are fine. I hope the school opened a music class three months ago. The students who entered the school in advance have received more than two months of music training. They have some basic knowledge of the notes and tones. Therefore, it is not difficult to select 50 teenage choir personnel from them.
Chapter completed!
