Zhou Ping said again: "There is one more thing."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "What else is there?"

Zhou Ping said: "Now that our control area is getting bigger and bigger, the army is getting more and more, and we need more and more medical staff. Now there is no enough manpower, so our Ministry of Health still needs to train a large number of medical staff."

Qin Zheng was a little surprised and said, "Aren't we allocated a group of local women from the Ministry of Health for medical training? Is there still a shortage of manpower?"

Zhou Ping said: "The local women assigned to the Ministry of Health are almost illiterate, and their foundation is too poor. They are basically illiterate and semi-illiterate. Even after literacy education, their achievements are limited. Now they are basically just trained as nurses. However, medical staff cannot be all nurses, and they also need doctors. However, it is not allowed to train a qualified doctor. They must start professional education from an early age."

Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, and smiled and said, "Your Ministry of Health is eyeing the Hope School."

Zhou Ping said: "That's natural, medical staff must start with the child."

Qin Zheng said: "It will take at least five years for a child to go to work from now on."

Zhou Ping said: "Who says they are all teenage children, and there are many 14 or 15 years old in the school. Our Ministry of Health's idea is to select a group of children over 12 or 3 years old and form a separate class. From now on, we still learn cultural knowledge like other students. However, we take two to three medical knowledge courses a week. The Ministry of Health sends people to teach, and the number of courses gradually increases. In this way, we can enter the internship stage at most two or three years. After one or two years of internship, we can find a formal employment, and after two years of accumulated experience, we can almost go to the clinic by ourselves. This is the fastest level of training."

Qin Zheng thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I think this arrangement is feasible. OK, I will talk to Lao Xia, Lao Xiao and the others together, and then make a decision."

After resting for a night, Qin Zheng met Zhang Peilun the next morning.

The last time Zhang Peilun visited Tianjin, Qin Zheng was mainly receiving the reception. Therefore, the two were more familiar with each other. After meeting again, they were less polite. After greeting each other, Zhang Peilun directly proposed to Qin Zheng, hoping that the Qing court could join the talks and resolve the problems of the Eight-Nation Alliance. At the same time, he also requested the time travelers to help the Qing court in this negotiation and try their best to reduce the losses of the Qing court.

After listening to Zhang Peilun's words, Qin Zheng felt relieved. The Qing court was still unable to support the wall. He just wanted to reduce the losses. In other words, compensation must be compensated, but the compensation was only regarded as a win. However, the time travelers naturally would not let the Qing court do what they wanted, because since time travelers participated, of course they could not pay compensation. Otherwise, this would become a major stain for time travelers. In addition, it was necessary to make full use of the Qing court's mentality and strive for benefits for time travelers. At least Shandong should be included in the jurisdiction of time travelers.

So Qin Zheng said, "Mr. Youqiao, we are originally Chinese, and will naturally do our best to help China's hometown and resolve the dangers of the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, although we have returned to China, we are still overseas Chinese and have not yet been recognized by the court. Isn't this a bad reputation? Therefore, we hope that the court can formally issue an order to recognize our identity and then discuss other matters."

Zhang Peilun was a famous talented man. Of course, he knew that in Chinese history, there were some old tribes who returned to China, and there were several cases in the Qing court. The most famous one was in the 36th year of Qianlong (1771), the Turkut tribe leader Wobaxi led his tribes back to the motherland.

However, Zhang Peilun also knew that this group of overseas Chinese was completely different from the Turkut tribe. Of course, this is not only the difference between the Han and Mongolian tribes, but the Turkut tribe actually had a tribute relationship with the Qing court before its return. This group of overseas Chinese seemed to suddenly emerge from the bottom of the sea, and had never heard of it before. Of course, the most important thing is that the strength of this group of overseas Chinese was too terrifying, and even the Qing court had to feel fear.

But for the current Qing court, the return of this group of overseas Chinese is still beneficial. At least it can suppress the arrogance of foreigners, and force foreigners to make concessions, reduce the losses of the Qing court, and at least allow the Qing court to return to Beijing. Therefore, Zhang Peilun said: "This matter is naturally, but according to my old Qing Dynasty, if there is an old clan, if there is an old clan, you will first be the above letter and ask for attachment, and the court will then issue an order to appease the court. That was even more so when the Turkut tribe returned to the country, your subordinates will first submit a submission to the court if they do not visit. Next time, your subordinate will submit a submission to the court and then wait for the court's ruling rules."

In fact, it’s nothing to be able to make the time travelers too passive, but this is a time traveler who is really asking for a return to the Qing court. To be honest, the time travelers only need a confirmation from the Qing court and are too lazy to compensate the Qing court for being ulterior motives. Therefore, there is no need to follow the pace of the Qing court, but it’s just like the same thing. So Qin Zheng said: “Mr. Youqiao, the procedure you mentioned was in the ordinary peaceful period, and now it is an extraordinary period. I’m sorry to say that now the emperor and the queen mother have fled to Xi’an, and the Qing Dynasty has actually become an exiled government. There are so many procedures to do. I think it’s better to be in a hurry to follow the power of the court and ask the court to confirm us as soon as possible so that negotiations can be carried out. Otherwise, when we submit the court first, then the court will discuss the rules. When it’s finally confirmed, it’s time to go, and even the negotiations will be over."

Zhang Peilun was shocked. Qin Zheng said something quite rude. Although the Qing court was driven out of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance, it used a very interesting word "Western Shou" in the famous discussion, which means to hunt in the West. In the Second Opium War in 40 years, the Qing court was beaten by the British and French coalition forces to escape from Beijing and hide in Chengde. The word used at that time was "Bei Shou", which meant exactly the same, but Chengde was north of Beijing. Qin Zheng pointed out without any concealment that the Qing court is now an exiled government, and such a straightforward expression made Zhang Peilun a little unsuitable.

Moreover, Qin Zheng's words were quite dangerous, which was very important. If the Qing court did not give time travelers a confirmation, the travelers would throw away the Qing court and negotiate with foreigners alone. If it was in the Qianlong era, Qin Zheng's words would probably make the court furious and would refuse the return of this group of overseas Chinese on the spot. However, Zhang Peilun knew very well that the Qing court had long been not in the prosperous era of Kanggan, and there was no capital to refuse. Therefore, Zhang Peilun had to say: "This matter cannot be decided, and we need to tell Li Zhongtang to decide."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is of great importance and you cannot hesitate. Therefore, please ask Mr. Youqiao to inform Li Zhongtang as soon as possible and ask Li Zhongtang to make a decision as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Zhang Peilun also knew that if there was no clear result in this matter, there would be no further negotiation, so he had to get up and say goodbye to Qin Zheng, and agreed to talk tomorrow, and then immediately rushed to the Telegraph Bureau to telegraph Li Hongzhang and requested Li Hongzhang to reply as soon as possible.

Qin Zheng came to the Executive Committee Office and reported to Xia Bohai, Xiao Jianjun, Wang Yunpeng, Xu Ji and others about the content of the talks between the two sides.

Xiao Jianjun first said: "Is the Qing court's confirmation of our identity really that important? I think Guan Jian still depends on ourselves. If we can adhere to military discipline and establish military-civilian relations well, it doesn't matter whether the Qing court confirms it. Now we are in Tianjin, isn't Qingdao doing a good job? The people in these two places have not alienated us because we have not received the Qing court's confirmation."

Xia Bohai smiled and said, "The Qing court's confirmation of our identity is only part of the purpose we pursue, and the main purpose is to tell the Qing court our attitude, and not let the Qing court still have illusions and think that it can control us. It is also to make a plan for the next step for us to ask the Qing court to divide Shandong into our territory, but this is just waiting for Li Hongzhang to discuss."

Wang Yunpeng said: "What if the Qing court insisted on not giving us identity confirmation, or only giving us identity confirmation, but refused to assign Shandong to us? Then what should we do? Will we break up with the Qing court immediately?"

Xia Bohai smiled and said, "Come on step by step. It is of course a bad idea to break up with the Qing court immediately. First, we ask the Qing court to confirm our identity, and we will take the Qing court to negotiate together. If the Qing court refuses to assign Shandong to us, there are two options. One is to succeed in the negotiations and ask the Eight-Nation Alliance to withdraw from Beijing and let us take over Beijing; the other is to break down the negotiations and we will conquer Beijing by force. In this way, Beijing is in our hands, and we will have enough capital to bargain with the Qing court."

Wang Yunpeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that the commander asked to maintain combat readiness, it turned out that it was for Beijing."

Xia Bohai said: "This is just one of the goals. In short, you cannot give up your armed forces at any time."

Qin Zheng said: "It is not too difficult for me to confirm our identity. After all, the Qing court has no other choice and there is no loss to the Qing court. It is nothing more than being unable to overcome the face. However, the Qing court is not a dynasty that wants to save face. Moreover, now that they have fled to Xi'an, they have already lost all their face, so they don't care about losing this. However, it is very difficult to let the Qing court give us Shandong, after all, there is no precedent in the Qing court."

Xiao Jianjun said: "After ceding so much land, what precedent is there without precedent."

Qin Zheng said: "That's different, because the land was ceased to the enemy country, and we were the people of the Qing court in the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Qing court recognized our identity, only the Three Feudatories in the early Qing Dynasty were qualified to split the land and separatist. Therefore, it is estimated that the biggest possibility is to grant us a Shandong governor, so in the Ming court, we are a subordinate of the Qing court. Of course, in the Qing court's view, this will also help us gradually control us."
