Recently, due to civil unrest fueled by anti-foreign sentiment, wild rumors are spreading, and bandits are running amok, burning, looting, and killing. All foreign embassies should be given top priority protection. Tell Ronglu to get crackin' and send his best troops to the East Legation Quarter today to ensure that each embassy is vigorously protected; there will be zero tolerance for negligence.
If embassy families want to evacuate to Tianjin for safety, we should, of course, protect them along the way. However, the railway has not been repaired yet, and it'll be tough to keep them safe on the land route. So, for now, everyone should stay put until the railway is fixed, then we can assess the situation and make specific arrangements. That's the plan.
