The retirement of the white crane has become a foregone conclusion, this is not someone forcing him, but the needs of the current government.

The reform of the Chinese imperial court, Bai Minghe is one of the two biggest obstacles, he has tossed the whole world, and then China needs a stable development period.

Choosing a place is also the idea of most people in the imperial court.

Even, these people don't care about the white crane being the king in a different place, they are convinced that the white crane is a fanatical great Chinese nationalist, if the other is true, the white crane can do many things in Byzantium, but the white crane is not willing to stay in the Mediterranean, so let him choose a place by himself.

Hearing Bai Minghe say that he didn't want any outsiders in his territory, Deng Hailong smiled.

A smile is just as those in the imperial court guessed, a Great China ist.

It is estimated that the idea of smiling white cranes will not be realized, and it will be almost impossible to maintain seventy percent of the Chinese people.

The Byzantine people want to live, and the white-named crane can still drive people away.

In the main hall, the Chinese emperor Zhu Qiyu was presiding over the ceremony of being enthroned, Bai Minghe did not go to watch the ceremony, and Deng Hailong did not go. Shira-naka didn't go because he thought his mission had been accomplished ninety and a half times.

Deng Hailong didn't go, because he, as a military general, didn't like this kind of occasion.

The two of them found two stones in the courtyard and sat down, and before they could speak, Xu Chengzong also came.

"You're stealing!" Xu Chengzong also came with wine: "I heard that this is a high-quality wine, which is different from our Western Regions." ”

"I'm going back." Bai Minghe said to Xu Chengzong.

Xu Chengzong was stunned for a moment, but he understood that it was time for Bai Minghe to go back. If the crane stays in the Mediterranean, there will be no stability here, and the whole of Europe will tremble.

"The Pope is hiding there, and he has found out. Get him. I'll go. Bai Minghe asked again.

"I heard that the Habsburgs sent heavy troops to hunt down the Pope, and now the Pope is hiding in a mountain forest in Switzerland. You know, Switzerland is a mountainous country, and now the Habsburgs want to form an alliance with us and go to Switzerland. Of course, there's another interesting fact. In fact, Spain's losses are not large, the places we occupy are only places like Gibraltar in the Mediterranean, and the Spaniards, no matter what they are for, are already organizing a coalition army and preparing to invade France. ”

"Ten words!" Bai Minghe emphasized.

Xu Chengzong and Deng Hailong nodded at the same time, ten words, representing China's top secret, within these ten words. There are only enemies, and they can never be friends.

Of course, in the absence of the possibility of attack, a little hypocritical communication is still needed for the time being.

"Suppress them in the sea, the Pope is already a dead man, and many countries use this as an excuse to expand their territories. The British were also not at ease, and they were willing to lease three hundred miles of land in three ports on the condition that we should provide us with enough weapons. It is possible to compete with France again. Lao Tzu agreed. Xu Chengzong laughed heartily.

Deng Hailong also said: "The Austrian Grand Duke wanted to buy 200 warships, and I agreed. They're going to go down against the British. ”

"I heard it's a feud?" Bai Minghe asked with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, after you leave Europe, we will start selling the land in North America, that land is really big." Xu Chengzong sighed.

But the white crane said: "What is the use of a barren land. Do we have enough manpower to commit? ”

Now that North America is already planning to divide up, no one will say anything more. Nor is it worth further discussion. Xu Chengzong and Deng Hailong didn't answer this.

"So, find the Pope next?" Deng Hailong asked.

Before Bai Minghe could answer, Xu Chengzong said: "What did that old thing do when he found him, according to our laws, after finding him." He should also be given a high position of nobility to keep him alive. It's a sign of respect for royalty, so we're just looking, just looking. ”

Xu Chengzong's words show the genius of a master of war.

Bai Minghe smiled dryly, this was even more clever than his thoughts, originally Bai Minghe was just thinking about it, and kept chasing, chasing. See how many people take in the Pope.

But at the moment, Xu Chengzong is just putting on a posture of looking for it, and whether he really makes efforts to find it is unknown.

"What if, the Archduke of Austria kills the Pope?" Bai Minghe asked.

"Kill him, be friends for a while, and secretly fund his enemies. The world is too big, so there is kung fu to fight every day, and my own country is tired of fighting. ”

Xu Chengzong's words are not nonsense, whether they are generals or soldiers under his command.

I've been in the Mediterranean for two years, and even if I don't go home, I can't be in a state of war readiness every day, so let's restore peace for the time being. It's best to keep playing after a while.

"Let's go, get ready to go home." The white crane stretched.

Deng Hailong grabbed Bai Minghe: "Don't worry, before you go back, you don't need to go ashore, just take a look at the ports." As you know, there are places where you can replenish coal, and the most you can do is bring more coal, and only fresh water. ”

"Yes!" Bai Minghe nodded, he understood that this was to show the clan, and this was also a kind of royal prestige.

Finally, the Chinese Emperor completed the conferral activities to the Spanish dukes, and sat there to let the two masters of the Forbidden Palace rub the medicinal oil on their right arms and raise their swords hundreds of times, which was a kind of torture for the Chinese Emperor Zhu Qiyu, who had not practiced martial arts.

At the end of the day, every sword lift is a courageous persistence.

"If you dare to laugh, you are a bully!" Seeing Bai Minghe come in, Zhu Qiyu had a cold face.

"Hooray, the minister wants to go back. I want to ask you to retire! The white crane reported after giving the salute.

Bai Minghe, Deng Hailong, and Xu Chengzong have already been sued by Zhu Qiyu when they are in the garden, but a formal procedure is still necessary. So the white crane had to come in and ask for instructions.

"Hooray, do you want to go back?" The white crane asked again.

"What are you doing in a hurry to go back, it's only been a few days, and I haven't appreciated the scenery of the Mediterranean yet. Your letter to the official is approved, go to the Wenhua Palace, and wait for the official document. I'm going to give you a place, and you want to choose there. ”

It's still the same sentence, even if I knew it in advance. Say it openly once on a formal occasion as well.

"Hooray, minister Temasek. But can we draw a little bigger, and draw more to the north, with the sea as the boundary? "The location that Bai Minghe said is all that Singapore will be in the future.

Zhu Qiyu was contemplating with his chin in his left hand.

It's too small, and there's not much to offer.

It is estimated that all the qiē needed in the future, including grain, fruits, spices, steel, etc., will need to be shipped from other places. Originally, Zhu Qiyu considered that further north, at least millions of acres of arable grain fields would be given, and now Bai Minghe's place is estimated to be able to grow some vegetables.

"Bai Minghe, you are a hero, and I am my brother-in-law, this place is too small, add more."

"Then the minister will be bold, ask for a little more, and add Batam."

A palm-sized island, also without arable land for growing food, is a small island that is mostly forested.

Zhu Qiyu understood.

This is an explanation from Bai Minghe to the imperial court, in traditional Chinese thought, accumulating grain is king. The white-named crane doesn't even have a grain field, so who would be worried about him, so whatever.

"Okay, I'm ready. When you get back, the ship will be returned to the military headquarters, and the Sagaro Dragon King will be retired as a civil ship, and six more ships will be rewarded to you. What else do you need, even if you mention it, you can't treat my royal sister badly. ”

"Hooray, the minister has some requirements, steel, cement, wood, food, etc., all the qiē, the minister needs. The minister also wanted to ask the head of the court to temporarily settle in and arrange some craftsmen. Chancellor wants to build a school. ”

"That's it, you don't need to report these things one by one, you can watch and deal with it yourself. If there is something in the Wenhua Hall that can't make up its mind, it will naturally ask me. I'm tired, so stand down. After leaving, there is no need to quit, hurry up...... Walk! Zhu Qiyu waved his hand impatiently and motioned for Bai Minghe to leave.

Shirana Crane is here, and it really doesn't feel free.

Of course, there is another reason that Zhu Qiyu made two small impulses, the first time he didn't have an accident, and the second time he killed the Ottoman emperor.

It is not the fault of the enemy, nor is it the emperor who killed the enemy.

But it can't be now, the military department is not ready, once it is drawn into the vortex of all-out war, it is indeed a big trouble.

So Zhu Qiyu didn't want to see Bai Minghe, because he was guilty, and he didn't need it for others, a general like Deng Hailong, his principle is to be a courtier, so he will fight to the death for Banzai, and if Banzai is wrong, he will be wrong, and he can handle it if he starts a full-scale war. But Bai Minghe can't, he will have some strange words.

The next day, the white crane left.

When the white crane ship sailed out of the Strait of Gibraltar, most of Europe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hooray, Lord Bai has returned. The Spanish aristocracy celebrated in secret, seemingly relieved. Wei Shaoqing came over to report.

Zhu Qiyu is very satisfied with this result.

The white crane is even more of a deterrent to Europe than these three steel battleships, which allows China to do a lot in Europe. Of course, the deterrent effect of the white crane is not only in Europe, if the white crane goes around South America, those clans will be honest, and they can develop their territory with peace of mind.

On the boat, Wan Xue'er asked Bai Minghe. "Young Master, do you really want to go into hiding?"

Bai Minghe nodded: "That's right, my mission has been accomplished." Next, the court doesn't need me anymore, and this is the best time to go into seclusion. How nice it would be to retire and enjoy life and be a happy rich man, even if we don't have a silver or two in our hands right now, we can get rich quickly at Temasek, not to mention that silver is just a number for me. ”

Gently wrapping Wan Xue'er, the white crane looked at the sunset, (to be continued......)
