Section 599 Stabilization of the southwestern access to the sea

Shirana Crane has a telegraph, but no one knows if this location can be contacted in China, but fortunately, Shirana Crane still roughly knows the location here.

Mao Wenwu sent 100 of his cronies and spent five days to arrive in Kachin City according to the approximate map drawn by Bai Minghe. Known as Myitkyina in later generations, it is now the city of the Kachin people, who have a very good relationship with the Dai people, so they provide housing and logistical assistance for the Dai and Bai forces.

The Kachin, the leaders of dozens of ethnic groups in northern Burma, are fighting against the Burmese.

The Burmese make up more than half of the population, and they follow the policy that the Burmese are human, and the rest of the ethnic groups are inferior to pigs and dogs. More than 130 ethnic groups and tribes, more than 70 percent of which rebelled against the rule of the Burmese.

What's more, the ancestors of the Kachin people are a branch of the Northern Qiang people.

After the old man here dies, there will be a sorcerer to perform a return ceremony, reciting the name of the place from station to station until he returns to his hometown.

Yu Qian subdued the Kachin with only one warrant.

Yu Qian's warrant reads, Feng Qiang's hometown is thousands of miles away, autonomous!

Under the premise of abiding by the laws of Great China and maintaining the unity of China, the dominions formed were set up separately, and the imperial court spent money to train bilingual education, and to learn the language and script of the Han people on the premise of retaining the customs of the ancient Qiang people.

The Kachin tribe was annexed and sent 3,000 soldiers to help fight the Burmese in southern China.

Led by the Kachin and the Burmese Dai, 60 ethnic groups and tribes formed a small alliance, which made the southern conquest of Burma very smooth.

Mao Wenhu's dust rushed to Kachin City, and with the clothes and armor of the Ming regular army, someone greeted him from afar.

"There's a celestial sound machine in the city!"

"Yes!" The person who came to greet him replied very directly, saying that there was no war there, and that this city was now considered a large rear. At present, the patriarchs of the two major clans are discussing the question of the Dominion with the officials of the Chinese Ministry of Rites, together with representatives from the sixty nationalities of the Alliance.

In the telegraph room, Shira's intentions soon spread to the capital of Shangjing.

The Chinese Emperor was discussing the issue of dependency of various ethnic groups in Burma at the Wenhua Palace, which was a great achievement in opening up the territory and expanding the territory. These nationalities should also be appeased, and they are all Chinese people.

"The general principle is to respect national customs. For small tribes to be pacified, it would be good. The larger ones can be given enough support. But there is also a corresponding contribution. The Ministry of Rites wrote this, and the Jin Dynasty had some ideas about the policies of various ethnic groups in Yunnan, and they should improve it, and then try it. ā€

Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne and said some of his thoughts on the national policy.

Yu Qian also got up and said, "Long live, as far as the issue of ordnance is concerned, we still need to send someone to check it out." Let's make a final decision. The most important thing is how high the troop deployment needs to be in the nearby states and counties, if it is high, it is a pressure on ethnic minorities, and if it is less, is it reassuring? ā€

This in itself is a question of degree, above or below, or in actual observation. The rest of them also agreed with Yu Qian's idea. It is impossible not to garrison, but the number of garrisons. and the proportion of ethnic minorities in the garrison, which require in-depth consideration.

A small official brought in a file, and after the scribe at the door read it, he sent it to Yu Qian's desk.

Yu Qian looked through it and saw that it was a telegram sent by Bai Minghe, and after reading it carefully, he was also shocked by what Bai Minghe said. Seeing Yu Qian's expression, Chinese Emperor Zhu Qiyu asked, "But is there something important?" ā€

"Hooray, look!" Yu Qian put the telegram on the imperial case in front of Zhu Qiyu.

It has a few simple words about the mining area by Bai Minghe, Zhu Qiyu has heard of this mining area before, so he doesn't need to introduce it in too much detail, and immediately picked up the pen and indicated a few words on the telegram.

"Hooray. Is it appropriate? Yu Qian asked beside him.

"Yes, if the white crane is a poor person, I'm afraid it is not suitable at this time. He wanted silver, even if he didn't have an official position now, and gave him a boat, a fleet of which he would have a thousand ships after that. After Zhu Qiyu explained two sentences, he picked up a piece of paper and wrote a few sentences, and then handed it to Yu Qian: "Sue him, don't fool me." He was limited to return to Shangjing within four months, and of course Yu Aiqing's mention was approved. ā€

Yu Qian mentioned yƬ too much, and he didn't immediately think of that one.

It was Zhu Qiyu who reminded him: "That's what you said, the clan divided the seal for Bai Minghe to avoid." Tell him, after leaving from there, drift on the sea, and don't go back to Ceylon. A few gems, compared with the real heaven-sent jade, Yu Aiqing, what do you say? ā€

"Yes, long live is saying that the precious stones of Ceylon are not worth mentioning. It's just money, what China wants is the world's prestige. It's just that the minister thinks that before letting Bai Minghe come back, he chooses a place and talks with the four major sailors, and the minister thinks that important ports and regions still need to let them know the benefits. ā€

"It's up to Qing to do it." Zhu Qiyu agreed.

Yu Qian believes in the vision of the white crane, and every port occupied by the white crane is behind the throat.

In Burma, Bai Minghe also received a telegram that his camp was not far from Kachin City, that is, less than 200 miles, but there were many mountains, and it was difficult to walk. A transit station was set up on a high mountain, and the telegraph was connected. After getting Bai Minghe's consent, the 100-man squad that came back brought 5,000 prisoners of war, all Burmese.

And, of course, there are 8,000 soldiers, as well as representatives of tribes and nationalities on the identity road.

Several high-ranking Tusi from the Burmese Dai and Kachin tribes also followed, not for the gems, but for the white-named cranes.

The name of the white crane is definitely the highest number of times in their ears, and it can be said that the first respect of the Chinese people is naturally the emperor of China, and the second is this legendary figure, the white crane.

The white crane, which has been here for ten days, is building earthworks.

The jade still has to be dug in the pit, of course, there is not much cut jadeite here, and nine out of ten are rough stones.

Why?

There is no reason, Bai Minghe will not sue the people, he is going to pull back to the capital to play gambling stones, of course, by the way, he will also calculate Yu Qian and the Chinese Emperor to see how lucky they are.

As for saying that this place was sealed for himself, not Huaiyu, Bai Minghe was not surprised. Just ask the people of the world, who dares to occupy their own fiefdom, I am afraid that they will be enemies of countless people. Of course, the managers of this fief are still close to China, and the ethnic minorities led by the Bai and Chinese Dai are still close to China.

The Chinese jade culture is also the Tao. Is it limited to the Han Chinese? The answer is no, for many ethnic minorities, there are two things that they believe in, believe to be gifts from the gods, and can be associated with the gods. Turtle plate and jade plate. Coupled with Confucianism, the jade culture of the Han nationality has reached an extreme.

"Honorable White Lord......"

"Alright, don't be so polite. There's not even a place to entertain you here, Garan, we're the most familiar with it, and you can introduce each other as a representative. You know, I don't care about these false manners. Then have a drink, you fought well in the battle of Burma, and thank the Kachin and other ethnic groups for their support. ā€

Bai Minghe didn't wear an official uniform, not even a set of serious clothes, just a linen coat. That style is the appearance of the rear denim overalls, only this look is more convenient, like Huaiyu's skirt has been running here for a few days, and the corners of the skirt have become strips of rags.

Garan stopped talking nonsense, introduced the guests one by one, and then instructed his subordinates: "Arrange those people to work, and you can't let the elite warriors do such things as moving stones." ā€

Serve with wine, dishes. Shirana Crane invites guests to their seats.

"Long live giving me this place is actually a promise. You know, I'm not bad for these things. According to the rules, I will hand over to the treasury, and of course, I will leave a few dozen yuan privately. For the rest, you will divide the profits proportionally, and I will tell you, don't open the stone, just sell the rough stone. ā€

Bai Minghe took out a brief introduction to the jade mining area that had been prepared in the past two days, as well as a plan for hospitality.

Garan got up, took it with both hands, and after reading it quickly, he knew that this was the white crane fulfilling his previous promise to give their tribes a rich mining area.

"Thank you, Lord Bai!"

"Don't be busy thanking you first, there is something you listen to me. Don't just look at the stones, they will be dug one day. To have your own real industry, the brocade is one of the four brocades in the world, your medicinal material industry, and the tea industry must not be relaxed, Yunnan black bricks, in the Tang Dynasty was a tribute, this is your way of survival. ā€

The Yunnan black bricks mentioned by Bai Minghe are Pu'er tea.

"Your Excellency is talking about things, and this stone is a dead thing. Tea is there every year, just bring some, adults to taste! ā€

Bai Minghe smiled and took the tea brick personally: "You know, I am a layman, and these elegant ones are far inferior to the ladies in my family. Until now, I haven't even been able to tell the difference between the varieties of green tea. ā€

Garan also smiled, Shira-naka Crane is a very easy person to get along with.

However, the representatives of the other ethnic groups were not relieved, but more nervous. Such people who are easy to get along with are actually not easy for them to deal with, because once they touch those taboos, they dare not think about the consequences.

"The railroad matter will probably be slowed down for a while, but you can transport the goods from the river to the harbor first, and then go around in a circle. It's easier than going over a mountain on a person's back. If possible, I will first help you to get a railway from Yuzhou, at least to Dali City, but the construction period may be very long. ā€

"Yes!" Garan is not very good at saying kind words, and the sincerity of the white crane is enough.

He also knew that it was the product of steel, and all the ethnic minorities who needed to repair it needed to use steel, and all their ethnic minorities combined, would not be enough for a thousand years. But this is just an expectation, and I dare not ask for a reality that will change immediately.

"The people who build the roads!" Shira-naka knew that there was danger in building roads.

Garan was more direct: "Lord Bai, let's level the whole of Myanmar." ā€

Garan's idea is very simple, the people here can be caught back, they can mine stones here, or they can build roads, even if the railway can't be repaired for a while, but dig a road according to the standard in advance, and directly lay the rails in the future. (To be continued......)
