    Chen Zaixing looked at Kong Zhang who was beside him and was already in a daze with joy. He knew that the other party might not know Dashun's real enemy in Burma, so he couldn't help but feel a bit contemptuous in his heart. He snorted coldly and said: "Brother Kong,  Now is not the time to rejoice, the most difficult thing has just begun?" Kong Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and retorted: "What else is difficult?" "Although the false king is dead, the British behind him are still there.  My attack on Bagan this time has offended the British. If I am not wrong, the British will definitely send troops to retaliate. Only after dealing with this, Myanmar will be ours. This time I come to you!  Come here because of this!" "For this?" Kong Zhang was stunned and replied: "Brother Fusheng, you know that I am not good at dealing with the British." "I didn't ask you to.  Go deal with the British!" Chen Zaixing explained: "The most important thing for us now is to reach an agreement with the British quickly and settle the situation! So I will go to Bagan right away to deal with this matter, but there must be someone trustworthy in Mandalay.  Talent can do it!" Kong Zhang pointed to his nose in doubt and asked: "You said the trustworthy person is me?" When he saw Chen Zaixing nodding, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "How can that be done? I'm just a businessman, I can't even speak Burmese.  I don¡¯t even know how to deal with this situation. Brother Fusheng, you should use someone else! Isn¡¯t Mr. Liu a good person? He has been in the Protector¡¯s Office for many years and he is smart and capable. Why not use him?¡±  I can't trust him!" Chen Zaixing saw that Kong Zhang was a little confused, so he had to explain: "Liu Zhixing is only loyal to the court. If Mr. Zao came here in a simple car, I'm afraid he would immediately hand over all Mandalay's troops and power.  Come on, wouldn¡¯t all my hard work be in vain? I asked you to stay in Mandalay. If anything goes wrong, you can send a messenger to notify me while trying your best to delay my return. Do you understand?¡±  At this point, the thin face immediately became bitter again: "Brother Fusheng, I'm just a businessman, how can I have this ability? Are you kidding me?" "Don't worry, I have already planned it!" Chen Zaixing looked at it  Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered in Kong Zhang's ear: "When I go to Bagan, I will take most of Mandalay's loyal troops with me. I already have more than a dozen confidants in the newly formed Burmese army. Before I leave,  I will leave a secret order to those leaders. If your Excellency suddenly arrives that morning, you will let the newly formed Burmese army make a riot in the city, and those confidants can take the opportunity to kill him-"  Here, Chen Zaixing made a chopping gesture with the palm of his hand.  "This, this, how can this be done!" When Kong Zhang heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he panicked: "Master Zao is a fourth-rank official of the imperial court. If he died here, how could we have anything to do with him? Besides, how could he be around him?  "It can't be done without troops, it can't be done!" "Why can't it be done? In a vassal country, there is chaos and chaos. I have already written a letter to my mentor, asking him to try to delay it. If you want to lead the army,  Come here, it must not be so fast? If you come so soon, there must be no soldiers around. Why don't you just wait for work and have no intention? If you don't take action and let him take my power, all the money will be wasted.  Will your family spare you? " After listening to Chen Zaixing's analysis of the interests, Kong Zhang sat there dumbfounded. How could he have imagined that his previous business adventure would be so involved, and he would actually want to assassinate the founding prince?  , a third-grade official came to finish the matter, but then he thought about it, he and Chen Zaixing were now grasshoppers on the same line, and they would both perish.  Thinking of the lonely scene of being imprisoned alone in the courtyard, Kong Zhang gritted his teeth and said: "Well, there is no turning back, we can only gamble on this one!" "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, these are the worst.  Plan, after all, the national power may not come so soon. Even if things get really big, I can¡¯t slap you or me on the butt!¡± ¡°How do you say this?¡± Kong Zhang was stunned, and then he came to his senses.  He pointed to the west with a smile and said, "Could it be that Mr. Liu is being used as a -" "That's right, as long as you understand, don't worry now!" Chen Zaixing showed a satisfied smile on his face. It turned out that he had already thought about it halfway.  I understand, since Liu Zhixing is not one of his own, he might as well leave Mandalay in his hands and go to Bagan himself. In this way, even if something goes wrong in Mandalay, he will be the only one who knows about it.  For unknown crimes, most of the blame can be placed on Liu Zhixing.  As long as the early state power is eliminated, the court will not be able to find anyone who is familiar with barbarian sentiments to handle the task. It will still have to be done by itself. It is nothing more than a few months' salary penalty.  After Chen and Kong finished their discussion, Chen Zaixing turned to say goodbye and returned to his residence. Since he was leaving here immediately, it was very cumbersome to arrange everything on hand.  By the time everything was done, it was already the bright moon in the sky and it was time for the night shift.  Chen Zaixing walked out of the house and saw that the city of Mandalay was already full of people.There was silence, with only a few lights on the west side of the city, which was where the royal palace was. He couldn't help but move in his heart. With his plan, he was afraid that the war in Mandalay City would be like that in April. That person  Is the eldest princess living in the palace going to suffer again?  Should we prepare a way out for him?  Chen Zaixing thought for a moment and then hardened his heart: His plan was extremely bold, and he was afraid that it would not be thorough. The more arrangements he made in advance, the more loopholes he might reveal in the future, which would lead to the destruction of his family.  A real man is born in this world and should establish an inheritance for eternity. How can he be led by these little children to do such foolish things?  Bagan, a courtyard in the Mohe Bodhi Temple.  Zhang Qi was pacing back and forth in the yard, with a dozen soldiers dressed as Burmese soldiers standing or sitting next to him, looking bored.  Zhang Qi suddenly stopped and asked loudly: "Song Cheng, who went to deliver a message to your Excellency outside the city, hasn't come back yet?" "Sir, Song Cheng went out after lunch, why did he have to come back the next day?" "Still?"  The next day?" Zhang Qi paused. At this time, he looked extremely anxious, as if something big was about to happen.  The flag-bearer on the side carefully advised: "Master Zhang, it's just those Burmese people who ran away. It doesn't matter. There's no need to get angry in such a hurry!" "You know nothing!" The flag-bearer was just right.  Zhang Qi got angry and was immediately scolded: "After the Puppet King was killed, didn't you feel that the atmosphere in Bagan city was wrong these days? Didn't you even notice that there were fewer beggars on the streets?  Quite a few? And the look in those monks¡¯ eyes? And that Song Shen, you haven¡¯t seen what kind of character he is after this incident? It¡¯s very wrong that he and his subordinates suddenly disappeared at this moment!¡±  Zhang Qi was confused by his mother, touched his head, and asked: "Sir, what can be wrong? There are thousands of our troops outside the city, and we can just attack in? How can that Song Shen change the world?" "Hey,  I can¡¯t explain clearly, but I have been a soldier for twenty years, and I can smell this smell!¡± Zhang Qi paused for a moment, with a cautious look on his face: ¡°It¡¯s like, it¡¯s like twenty years ago!¡±  The feeling of growing hairy years ago! " Ne Win was walking on the street. At this time, he looked hasty and plastered his cheeks, as if he was doing something he didn't want to be discovered.  Suddenly, he stopped, looked back to make sure no one was following him, and then turned into a hidden alley.  ¡°Master, I¡¯m here!¡± A voice came from behind Ne Win.  He stopped and looked back, only to see Song Shen standing behind him, smiling and saluting him. There were several people in the alley behind him, and the bulging bags around their waists were obviously weapons.  "Hello, donor!" Ne Win returned to Songcan and said, "If you want to see me, you can go directly to Mohe Bodhi Temple. Why did you call me here?" "Master, you will know why right away!"  Song Shen smiled slightly: "I invited you here to ask you to lead us to do a big thing!" "A big thing?" Ne Win was stunned and asked: "I am just an ordinary monk, what big things can I do?  "Aren't you working under that Dashun officer?" "He is a Bei bandit. I have nothing to talk about!" Song Shen said coldly: "Master, let me get straight to the point."  ! Now there are conscriptions for troops and food everywhere, and many people are starving to death. I want you to lead us up, return the rice and land to the people, and let them live! " Ne Win frowned and asked:  "Isn't the false king dead? The new king has also ascended the throne in Mandalay. Those who were recruited as soldiers will return to their hometowns soon. You can go back to your village. Life will get better!"  "No!" Song Shen's face was as solid as iron: "Mandalay is also recruiting troops and food. The new king is just a puppet of the Northern invaders. He only regained the throne with the bayonets and rifles of the Shun people.  , the Shunguo people killed thousands of people who resisted them in Babu Village, and the corpses were piled together like a hill. The king also handed over the nobles and temples that opposed him to the Shunguo people for looting, and many of the shunguo soldiers became rich.  For example, the officer named Zhang Qi was originally a poor man, but now he has thousands of acres of land and dozens of big houses in his hometown, and has become a very wealthy man. The new king is a devil just like Meng Ji.  The only difference is that Meng Ji relied on the British, while the new king relied on the Shun people!" A look of shock appeared on Ne Win's face. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "What do you want?  What should I do?" "Lead us to resist!" Song Shen's cheeks showed a sickly blush, and he shouted: "There are thousands of soldiers recruited by Meng Ji in the city, and there are many guns and bullets.  Most of them are peasants who have been forcibly requisitioned. As long as you tell them, give them the rice in the granary and give them the land of the nobles.??They will all be on your side. With their support, we can defeat the British and the Northern invaders, and everyone can live a good life!  " Ne Win did not answer. As time went by, Song Can's excitement gradually calmed down. Seeing Ne Win's face gradually changing from expectation to disappointment, he finally grabbed Song Can's sleeve and said loudly: "  Master, take us to do it, just like avenging your respected master!  "    "sorry!  Nevin pulled his sleeve out of Song Can's hand: "Song Can, you'd better find someone else!"  You can also do it yourself?  Song Shen replied with a wry smile: "Others?"  Who is more prestigious than you in Bagan right now?  As for me, I am just a lowly farmer covered in dirt. The citizens of Bagan would cover their noses and walk away quickly if they were only four or five steps away from me!  " "I am a monk, and what you are going to do will make many people die!  The temple relies on the donations of the common people and gentlemen to survive. The clothes on our monks' bodies and the food in our stomachs cannot be separated from everyone's donations. How could I lead you to let the donors kill each other?  Songcan looked at Ne Win desperately and shouted loudly: "I know why you didn't agree, because the biggest landowner outside Bagan is your temple, isn't it?"  " Naven was shaken and sighed: "Yes, I can't swing my sword at the Buddhist altar!  "After that, he turned around and walked out. Song Shen looked at his leaving back with crazy and desperate eyes. Suddenly, he pulled out a short knife from his arms and pounced on it, and with one blow, Ne Win was killed.  Ne Win, who was stabbed by the knife, turned around fiercely and looked at Song Shen in surprise. Song Shen looked at him without giving an inch and whispered: "Since you don't want to live as a hero, then  Be a dying hero!  "After saying that, with a wave of his hand, several people on both sides rushed forward and crushed Ne Win underneath him.
