Due to recent unrest among the common people in the Beijing area, which has led to conflicts both internally and externally, all foreign envoys in Beijing should be kept safe. Minister Wang from the Prime Minister's Office has sent multiple letters expressing concern to them. Considering the current unrest in the capital and the difficulty of maintaining order, it has been decided to consult with the foreign envoys and plan to send troops to escort them to Tianjin temporarily to avoid any danger. Ronglu is tasked with selecting reliable officials and soldiers to protect the envoys. Any banditry or trouble will be dealt with swiftly and decisively. Before the foreign envoys leave Beijing, any communication with their respective countries using the telegraph must be promptly handled by the Prime Minister's Office for Foreign Affairs, to show our good faith and build trust. This is the decree!
Basically, the Emperor's saying that to ensure the safety of foreign envoys during the recent unrest in Beijing, the government has decided to send troops to escort them to Tianjin for refuge. Ronglu is responsible for arranging personnel to ensure the envoys' safe journey. At the same time, the government will make every effort to ensure communication between the envoys and their home countries, allowing them to feel the friendliness of China. In short, the goal is to reassure foreign diplomats and avoid any impact on diplomatic relations due to domestic unrest.
