Very formal requests, with formal documents, formal official arrangements, and a qiē etiquette. Amur officially asked to see Bai Minghe as the commander of the capital of Shandong Province in the Great Tomorrow.

All command can be a big official, a second-grade officer, a second-grade member who does not permeate a little water.

Before Amur came, Bai Minghe and Yang Ning sat in the main hall, with the top positions on the left and right. On the left, Bai Minghe gave up his position to Yang Ning, and Yang Ning also accepted Bai Minghe's courtesy.

"It's a great achievement, but I'll have to explain it well when I go back." What Yang Ning said was the truth, and Bai Minghe also knew that he had set aside a capital division for Daming out of thin air, and then granted a capital commander. Even if there are two of them, one has the arbitrary power given by the Ming Emperor, and the other has the name of Qincha.

This kind of thing is always somewhat unruly.

However, the matter is appropriate, and Yang Ning can't say that there is anything inappropriate for Bai Minghe to do this time, and set up a northwest barrier for the Ming Dynasty to ensure the stability of the northwest. It's just that it's poor here, and the extra military spending always has to be disputed with the new head of the household department, Zhang Feng.

It's just that Yang Ning won't fight, and if he wants to fight, Yu Qian will fight.

"I also have a plan, to get Turpan to the capital in five years, and it only takes five days."

"Is it possible?" After Yang Ning asked with a smile, he added: "If it is really possible, then this place may really be a treasure land as you said." ”

"Maybe, but the cost is huge enough, I once calculated the initial investment, and I was scared." The cost of being able to scare the white crane, Yang Ningxin said that it is estimated that the older ones in the Wenhua Hall almost vomited blood. But he still asked, "So what kind of procedure can the cost be?" ”

"Every ......" Bai Minghe wanted to say every meter, but Daming didn't have the concept of rice, so after thinking about it, he changed his statement: "It's about every two miles, and the consumption of steel alone is 1,200 stones." Here to Xi'an. Five thousand miles. And that's just the consumption of steel, and it's the best steel! ”

Yang Ning gasped, six million stone steel.

Bai Minghe smiled: "This is only the part of the steel, plus the rest, as well as the cost of labor, it costs 20,000 taels of silver in one mile." Because of the bitter cold here, this cost will definitely increase. If the capital goes to Tianjin, it is estimated that 12,000 will be about the same. ”

"A road, a very special road?" After Yang Ning finished asking, he saw Bai Minghe nodded, and asked again: "Can you really go to the capital for five days and five nights?" ”

Bai Minghe shook his head: "To be honest, I told a lie this time because I couldn't reach it. With my ability and the efforts of countless craftsmen, I predicted that the maximum speed I could run was about 200 miles per hour. But actually. At the current level, I have an experiment, and there is no actual road, but I have calculated that I can run forty miles in an hour at most. ”

Yang Ning quickly calculated in his heart that he could run 2,000 miles a day, and he could run from Turpan to the capital in five days and five nights.

Obviously, this miraculous thing has not yet succeeded, and it is still in a half-finished product. But forty miles in an hour is also very powerful. Immediately asked, "How long can I run a day?" ”

"Once you move, you don't need to stop. You can run non-stop for 12 hours a day. It is estimated that the finished product should be close to 100 miles, that is to say, it can run 1,000 miles a day, and the load is 15,000 materials. ”

"Okay, this official supports you, and first build the capital and Tianjin." Yang Ning was a little excited, this thing was not worse than the Tianyin machine at all. Definitely good stuff.

Bai Minghe was a little embarrassed: "I originally promised to build it in Nanjing and Suzhou first. ”

"It must be from Beijing to Tianjin!" Yang Ning used a very strict tone to show that this matter was not negotiable at all. Some things must be preceded by the capital, and you can have both at the same time, but you can't put the capital behind.

"Next year!" Shirana Crane smiled and made a difference.

Yang Ning also knew that it was useless to talk to Bai Minghe here. When he returned to the capital, there was the Ming Emperor and the thirteen scholars of the Wenhua Palace. There are officials and merchants from Beijing and Tianjin, and they can definitely have a talk with Bai Minghe when the time comes. Just thinking about this huge volume of transportation, no one is not impressed.

Need to be explained, to be believed?

There is no need at all, because if the white crane says yes, the businessmen and ordinary people will definitely say yes.

Before lunch, Amur came, still an eleven-year-old girl, still with the same fierce expression as if everyone owed her a few hundred taels of silver. The only difference is that Hou Tianci changed into a Ming military uniform and stood behind Amur as a deputy general.

Yang Ning and Amur exchanged salutes according to the etiquette of the same level, but Bai Minghe stood still and did not move.

"Lord White!" Yang Ning reminded beside him.

Bai Minghe waved his hand, signaling Yang Ning to believe in himself, and then walked up to Amul: "You estimate all kinds of discomfort in your heart, this etiquette is only superficial, why don't you sit down and listen to me, and then we will meet each other according to the etiquette?" ”

"Good!" Amur replied stiffly.

"What is sovereignty?" After Bai Minghe came up with a very unfamiliar word, he began to explain: "It is the supreme and exclusive political power that a country has over its jurisdiction, in short, the supreme authority of "autonomous self-determination", and it is also the source of power for internal legislation, justice, and administration, and a kind of power and will to maintain independence and autonomy externally." ”

is really a masterpiece, this explanation makes Yang Ning can't help but shout.

But at this time, is it appropriate to say such things?

"However, there are three indispensable forms of sovereignty. The first is the innermost supreme power, such as the Ming Dynasty, long live the supreme imperial power. So I ask you, do you have it in Turpan? ”

Amur shook his head, not only did he not, but neither did the dead khan.

Because apart from them, the tribal leaders here are only dependent, and it is not a unified country. If it affects the interests of these tribal leaders too much, then it is likely that a new khan will be needed.

The way to change the khan is mostly war.

"Okay, then the second article is the right to independence from the outside world."

"Yes, we try to have it." Amur replied very strongly. Bai Minghe laughed, and Amur had no choice but to whisper: "There is no one here in Turpan at the moment." And Iri has been turned into two by my two brothers, and I don't have it here. And it is also subject to Daming, Washou, and my brother. Amur said this and glanced back at Hou Tianci, and Hou Tianci also nodded helplessly, this is indeed a fact.

"Before I ask the third question, I would like to add a question. If you were given a choice now, after the death of the Turpan Khan, you could choose to become part of the Ming Dynasty, or merge into it and not spend it there for the first time. ”

Amur shook her head and didn't answer, this question is not easy to answer.

"Just tell the truth, and it won't affect anything because of your sincere words. Believe me, but also believe that I am not an absolute evil person, at least I can make the people here rich, far more than not spending ten times or a hundred times richer. The white crane spoke in a sincere tone.

Amer then replied: "That's why I can't answer." Back to our brother, we still have to face the hostility of the Watters and the Ming Dynasty. By becoming a part of the Ming Dynasty, the people can be rich. ”

"Okay, I'm going to ask the third question. The last form of sovereignty is the ability to defend oneself against aggression. ”

"No, we can't stop any enemies!" Amur reluctantly admitted that what Bai Minghe said still made sense.

Bai Minghe smiled: "Become a part of the Ming Dynasty, and this place will have a certain degree of autonomy." Under the premise of conforming to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, respect your national habits and your teachings. ”

"I don't know!" Amur was stunned by the white crane.

"Don't worry, the official goes out for a walk, you think about it here. I'll be back half an hour later. Bai Minghe nodded at Hou Tianci, and walked out. Yang Ning thought about it and followed.

Inside the house, Yang Ning asked Bai Minghe: "The second one you said, I'm afraid it's not what the little girl understands." ”

"Yes, the second article should be: according to the conditions of the country, the freedom to choose one's own social system, the form of the state, the organization of one's own government, the formulation of the laws of the state, the decision of the country's internal and foreign policies, and so on."

"You're still a slippery head, but for the second true one, it doesn't matter much if they do it or not. At least they can't resist foreign enemies, and this alone they should become a part of our Ming Dynasty. "Yang Ning is very confident, this time it will definitely be a success.

Bai Minghe said: "This, I pay attention to convincing people with virtue. ”

Yang Ning didn't believe it, Yang Ning believed that Bai Minghe was more suitable to use his artillery to convince him. From the Da Nang steel knife to kill the Japanese people, to the artillery bombardment of the Japanese Kyoto, and then to the use of artillery to extinguish Turpan had to surrender first. In fact, Bai Minghe, who convinces people with virtue, is so unreliable both internally and externally.

Inside the house, Hou Tianci said to Amur: "I think it's time for us to put forward conditions." ”

"Will the Ming people negotiate terms with us?" Su Mu'er was very skeptical.

"It should be fast!" When Hou Tianci answered this should, in fact, he was not sure in his heart.

Even if you don't believe it, you have to put forward your own conditions.

Bai Minghe had been standing outside, saying that he was taking a walk, but in fact he had barely walked a few steps, Yang Ning asked Bai Minghe: "At this time, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm wondering, will she make a condition, what kind of condition?"

Yang Ning nodded: "Yes, what kind of conditions will be proposed, annexing Turpan without war." Always ask them for something, otherwise it really won't make sense. Be convincing. ”

"What I care about is whether her conditions are for herself or for the people of Turpan!" Bai Minghe's words surprised Yang Ning. (To be continued......)
