It took five days for Zhang Yi to determine the policy of ethnic integration and draft a law.
The general content is that any country can voluntarily apply to integrate with China, have the treatment of Chinese citizens, and have its rights and interests protected by China.
The two countries have open territories and free exchanges between citizens, which are protected and restricted by common laws. Citizens have the right to retain religious beliefs, national culture and other rights, and enjoy the right to equality, the right to vote, the right to be elected and the right to supervise.
If the other party is a monarchy, the monarch can permanently retain the honorary title and enjoy noble treatment, but must give up the right to rule.
Soldiers are organized into a unified national army and cannot have private armed forces.
For poor new citizens, China will provide economic support and help them develop until they can live a prosperous life.
After the policies and laws were promulgated, diplomats carried the documents and sent them to General Wang Zhengda of the Western Military Region for a clear explanation.
"I understand. This policy is good and fair to everyone." After hearing this, Wang Zheng pondered for a moment and asked, "What should we do if we encounter an unreasonable country?"
"Zhang Shoufu's original words were, if you can be reasonable, then be reasonable; if not, send them back to their hometowns." The diplomat said, "In addition, please send a team of people to escort me to negotiate with the Central Asian countries.
Integration will take time. Before that, please ask them to cooperate in opening the trade route to the west."
"What should I do if they don't agree?" General Wang Zheng asked.
"Zhang Shoufu thinks that they will agree, and we will share a certain amount of profits with the countries along the way." The diplomat laughed, "Of course, if they are greedy and obstructive, Zhang Shoufu's instruction is that you can send troops
, use lightning speed to conquer those who obstruct it, and use force to implement the integration policy.”
"Understood!" General Wang Zheng raised his head and laughed. He either saluted first and then sent troops, or he first sent soldiers and then saluted.
In short, the policy is good and does not mean to bully anyone at all. The use of force is also to forcibly transform certain barbarians into civilized races that are good at singing and dancing.
It is difficult to determine what the outcome will be. Diplomats went to negotiate, and General Wang Zheng was ready to send troops at any time.
…
Zhang Yi took Xiaoliu and Xiaolong, escorted by a group of people, to the barren mountains north of Chang'an.
There is no human habitation for dozens of miles around. It is classified as a secret military base and gunpowder was developed here.
The conditions were very difficult. The R&D personnel lived in tent camps, and the raw materials for gunpowder were stored in nearby caves.
The arrival of Zhang Yi and Xiaoliu caused a sensation. Hundreds of R&D personnel ran out of the tent and lined up to greet them. Everyone was unkempt, and many people's hair and eyebrows were burned off by the flames. Some accidents were inevitable during the development process.
Later, Xiaolong figured out a set of safe operation procedures, which got much better.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. You are all unsung heroes and have made great contributions to the country." Zhang Yiwei asked.
Everyone waved their hands and said that they were not working hard, but the leaders were working hard.
Yes, Xiaolong always went into battle personally during the development process and encountered several dangerous situations. Fortunately, he had the ability to predict and ran away in time, otherwise he would have been blown to pieces.
It took a lot of hard work to figure out the properties of gunpowder and master the methods of safe preparation, storage and transportation.
In the suburbs near Chang'an City, a gunpowder processing plant is under construction. In the next step, people's production and living conditions will be improved.
"Oh my god, that mountain was almost flattened by you guys." Xiao Liu pointed at a hill in the distance and said in surprise.
Everyone laughed.
That hill several hundred meters high unfortunately became a testing ground. After hundreds of blasts, it became fragmented.
Zhang Yi sighed in his heart that a city wall as tall and strong as Chang'an could be blown to pieces with just a few more explosives. Not long ago, the city wall could withstand hundreds of thousands of troops, but soon a small group of people could destroy it.
The city walls were razed to the ground.
This is a dimensionality reduction attack.
Zhang Yi picked up the telescope and saw Xiao Han and others driving several eight-horse carts towards the secret base, which was only a few miles away.
Today, Xiao Han was going to test the artillery and notified Zhang Yi to come and watch. In excitement, Zhang Yi came in advance.
"Princess, we can set off cannons to welcome Xiaohan's arrival." Xiaolong smiled.
"What kind of artillery fire?" Xiaoliu asked in surprise, "Isn't the artillery at Xiaohan's place?"
"Oh, to be precise, it's a fireworks cannon." Xiaolong corrected.
He asked people to bring fireworks cannons, which were actually fireworks bombs. They were ornamental fireworks created by Xiao Longzai during the process of developing gunpowder.
He gave a demonstration and lit a firework bomb more than ten centimeters wide.
Bang - shoo - smack!
Amidst the roar, a fire dragon shot straight into the sky, climbed to a height of 100 meters, exploded, bloomed, and released different colors of light. It was so beautiful!
Xiaoliu laughed in surprise, danced, and was as happy as a child.
Everyone was also very happy. For people in the wasteland world, this was a miracle.
Zhang Yi raised his head to watch and clapped his hands happily. Although he had seen a grand fireworks show in the previous era, at this moment, he was still extremely moved.
It's not easy. This means that a new era has begun.
Zhang Yi looked through the telescope, and Xiao Han and others also cheered. If fireworks were released in Chang'an City, the people would go crazy with joy. Zhang Yi thought that maybe at the right time, a fireworks show could be held.
"Can you let me set off a fireworks cannon?" Xiaoliu begged.
"Of course you can, but there is still a certain degree of danger. I think it's better for the princess not to take risks." Xiaolong hesitated.
Fireworks cannons are very safe, but they are still dangerous. It is best to stand more than ten meters away and let professionals light them.
"I'll put on my helmet, and my brother-in-law will help me with his shield. Let's do it this way!" Xiaoliu had a stubborn streak and insisted on giving it a try.
Xiaolong had no choice but to look at Zhang Yi.
"Okay, I'll let you fire the cannon once, just this once. In addition, during the test firing of the cannon, you can only watch from a distance." Zhang Yi emphasized.
"Okay, it's up to you." Xiaoliu said cheerfully.
There are metal helmets, shields, thick gloves and protective clothing in the camp. Xiaoliu put on the helmet and gloves and the protective clothing was unnecessary.
Zhang Yi held a shield to protect Xiao Liu's body. Xiao Liu held up a thick incense stick and carefully lit the fuse with excitement and joy.
It was ignited and sparks came out from the fuse.
Xiao Liu quickly hugged Zhang Yi, her whole body trembling.
Bang, a loud noise.
Phew, a flame shot into the sky.
Bang, a beautiful firework bloomed in the sky, with many colors of red, yellow, blue and white emerging one after another. People were stunned!
