    Song Shen glanced at Puxian disdainfully and walked to the reviewing stand. The soldiers in the first row closest to him were at his feet, and he could even reach out and touch his shoes.  Songcan cleared his throat and said loudly: "Buddha was originally a noble prince, but he pitied the sufferings of the world, so he put on the clothes of the poor and went to practice, hoping to find a way for everyone to get rid of troubles.  , so he founded Buddhism. In today's Myanmar, those who have shed their last drop of sweat in the fields cannot even own the land under their feet, and cannot eat the white rice they grow; those who do nothing have  He has so much land that even he can't count it, and the dogs and horses he feeds are all fed with the best food. Is this what the Buddha liked? Which scripture or passage of scripture contains this?  What about words? Wouldn¡¯t it be more appropriate to take back the excess food and land from these people and give it to those hard-working and hungry people so that they can have their own land so that they can no longer starve and live happily?  Did the Buddha originally mean that?" As soon as Songshen finished speaking, the entire square was drowned in deafening cheers, with thousands of arms waving, like a forest.  The soldiers' faces turned red and they shouted slogans that they didn't even know what they meant!  The soldiers closest to the reviewing stand rushed forward, and fell on their knees at Songshen's feet, kissing the soles of his shoes and the corners of his clothes, as if what stood before them was no longer a person, but a projection of the Buddha, a demigod.  Half-human existence.  Pu Xian was pushed aside by the soldiers who rushed up. At this time, he was in a state of despair. Song Shen's eloquence seemed to smash his whole body into pieces. In his past life, believers also worshiped him crazily, but  Such an explosion of ecstasy from the heart was something he had never encountered before. He seemed to be a blind man, but suddenly he regained his sight and saw the sun for the first time. This sight of wandering in the light and land not only did not make him  He was happy, but it made him feel terrified and desperate. It was the first time he felt like this, as if the whole world had collapsed.  "Respected Master, respected Master! Are you okay?" Several monks who came with Samantabhadra hurriedly crowded over and protected him to prevent him from being crushed by the surrounding soldiers.  Puxian was shouted at a few more times, and he pressed his eyes with his hands. After a while, he opened his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a dream.  One of the burliest monks looked at Song Shen in the crowd and whispered: "Honored Master, what should we do now? Do you want to¡ª¡ª" When he said this, he turned his eyes to Song Shen and made a downward slash with his right palm.  gesture.  Puxian thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Forget it, it's too late! Doing this now will only bring disaster to the temples in the city!" He looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, and whispered  Said: "Let's go back to the temple quickly and tell the elders about the situation here so that we can be prepared. Also, I heard that the regent left the city to go to Shunjun in the morning, so we will also send someone there  , tell them that as long as they are willing to help us pacify these thieves, we are willing to accept Dashun as our superior state and recognize the newly established majesty!" "This? Honorable Master, it will be difficult to get them out after the Shun army has entered the city.  It's easy to ask the gods but hard to give them away!" "Confused!" Puxian shouted, looking at the puzzled eyes of his disciples, he sighed and explained: "No matter how powerful the Shun Army is, they are still outsiders, and sooner or later they will be defeated in Myanmar.  As long as we don't offend their taboos, they won't offend the temple. But look at these heretics, if they gain power, they will even demolish the Mohe Bodhi Temple!" Disciples looked carefully!  Thinking about it, everyone couldn't help but sweat was pouring from their foreheads, and they all said in unison, "Yes, my respect for the master's vision is beyond our reach!" Outside Bagan, next to the pier.  After these days of remediation, the Shun Army has turned the dock into a semi-fortress with the dock as its core. Having seized a large amount of materials stored in the dock area, the Shun Army has enough ability to hire hungry people near Bagan to build fortifications.  The core of the fortress is the fort built by the British army that protrudes into the river. After re-expanding the ammunition depot, gun positions, retaining walls, and communication trenches, the four six-inch cannons captured from the British army on this fort can fire  Half of the river covered the three flat-bottomed gunboats for attack operations.  In order to ensure that the British army could not follow the old trick of the Shun Army and launch an attack at night, the Shun Army built a lighthouse at the entrance of the pier for lighting, and built a two-story fortress at the end of the trestle.  Thirty soldiers were deployed in the fort, as well as a Gatling gun and a six-pounder mountain gun to prevent the enemy from rushing from the trestle into the dock area.  On the landward side of the dock area, the Shun Army established a defense system with four multifaceted forts as the backbone. Breast walls were connected between the multifaceted forts, and there were channels for the infantry to counterattack in columns. Anyone who wanted to attack  Any attempt in the dock area will be flanked by multi-faceted artillery fire. Simply put, if the enemy does not have the support of large-caliber heavy artillery, even with three to four times the strength, it will be extremely difficult to capture this fortress.  Because of the protection of the core fort, the side of the fortress area close to the river bankCompared with the other side, it is relatively safe, and because it is easy to obtain domestic water, Shunjun's camp and warehouse are located on the edge of the river where the dock is located, forming a half-moon shape.  Chen Zaixing's apartment is in a temporary wooden house less than 300 meters away from the trestle. It is very convenient to get to the trestle and separated by an earth wall, which makes it quiet and safe.  Batu knocked on the door twice and whispered: "Resurrection!" Chen Zaixing's voice came from inside the door: "Is it Brother Zhenwu? Come in and talk about anything!" Batu opened the door and came in.  , I saw Chen Zaixing sitting in front of the desk and standing up. There was a thick stack of documents on the table. There was a letter open under the light. It was obvious that the other party was reviewing it when I came. I thought to myself that he must be  There are hidden stakes buried in Mandalay. Otherwise, the military affairs in this military camp are all in his own hands. How could he have so many documents to deal with.  "Resurrection, another messenger came from Bagan city, asking us to lead the army into the city." Batu took out a document from his arms and handed it over.  Chen Zaixing took it apart and took a look, and couldn't help but praise: "What a beautiful hand in thin gold regular script, there are not many in Hongwen Hall." He was the second choice of the late emperor at that time, and Hongwen Hall was also known as the place of Dashun Prime Minister.  There are quite a few famous calligraphers in it, and those who can catch his eye are naturally the best among them.  Batu was stunned after hearing this, and said: "I heard from the sender that this letter was written by Master Puxian of Mohe Bodhi Temple. I thought it was in Burmese, so I showed it to you in the resurrection, but I didn't expect it to be used."  "It's in Chinese!" "Not only is it written in Chinese, but the diction is also very elegant!" Chen Zaixing had already finished reading the letter and said with a smile as he handed it to Batu: "Look, Zhenwu, this Master Samantabhadra is really rare."  !" Batu took the letter and saw a few lines of thin gold regular script coming into his eyes. He saw that the stroke was like a dagger, the handle was like a cutting knife, the vertical hook was slender, and the lines between the words were like gossamer. They were already in thin gold.  The charm of the body; although he is far less knowledgeable than Chen Zaixing, he attended a private school at a young age and attended a martial arts lecture hall for four years in Hanking, a cultural gathering place. How could he not see the beauty of it?  He couldn't help but praise: "What a Burmese monk. I didn't expect that he would be so deeply immersed in Chinese culture. I would like to make friends with him if I have the chance!" After appreciating the calligraphy for a while, Batu began to read the content carefully. He just read it.  After two lines, he couldn't help but praise: "Resurrection, if this monk were in my Dashun, I'm afraid he would also be a roll call outside Donghua Gate!" After saying that, without waiting for Chen Zaixing's reply, he read loudly: "Today  There are crazy people everywhere in the country, heresies and heresies, deceiving people's hearts. Foolish men and women are all carrying food and holding staffs. If they succeed, I'm afraid that the bamboo forest monastery where the eminent monks preached the Dharma in the past will be turned into a habitat for foxes and wolves.  ; The Egret Jade Pond will only be overgrown with weeds; the jade stones that have retreated from the world will also be decayed and covered with moss; the famous temples and temples in Myanmar will also be abandoned and no monks will live in them; the Mahayana and Hinayana scriptures will also be inhabited.  The box rots into ashes; how can any person with a human heart not lament this end of the world? There is a rumor from the Shangguo: "There is a subjugation of the country, and there is a subjugation of the world. How can the subjugation of the country and the subjugation of the world be debated?"  , it is said that the country is subjugated, benevolence and righteousness are full, and the beasts eat people, and people will eat each other, it is said that the people who protect the country are their rulers and their ministers, those who eat meat plan it, and those who protect the world are humble and responsible.  "Today's Burma is about to collapse. Although the poor monks are outsiders and should no longer interfere in worldly affairs, their food and clothing come from the donations of believers, so how can they stay out of it?"  Here, Batu smiled and said: "This monk's article is really good, and our family is a little eager to try it. Resurrection, do we want to be his thugs and go to the city?" "No!" Chen Xing did not raise his head, and was determined.  replied.  "Why?" Batu asked in confusion: "Now that Diok is in our hands, this Samantabhadra should also be the first-class monk in the city. With their support, we don't have to be afraid of the British at all. We can  "Brother Zhenwu!" Chen Zaixing hesitated for a moment and finally decided to reveal part of his ambition to Batu. After all, in his future plans, this person  It occupies a very important position.  Chen Zaixing walked to the door. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping outside, he carefully closed the door, returned to the table and motioned for Batu to sit down. He whispered: "Brother Zhenwu, in my future plans, there is no such thing as Di."  "What?" Batu almost thought he heard wrongly: "No position? Do you want them to-" "That's right!" Chen Zaixing nodded.  , and then explained: "Of course it is not up to us, at least most of them are not up to us!" "What exactly do you mean?" The more Batu listened, the more frightened he became. He had also read history books, and naturally knew that China had dealt with vassals since ancient times.  They all have civil and military methods, using both soft and hard tactics; they always fight hand in hand against the upper echelons of the vassal, just like what Chen Zaixing just said??If you don't give a way out and eliminate them all, it will force them to form a group and form a strong joint force, which is counterproductive.  "Use the power of the mob in the city to eliminate all these monks and high-level nobles. At least they will no longer have the power of a group in Myanmar and prepare for our next plan!" Chen Zaixing whispered, and he picked up the  He put away the letter written by Samantabhadra on the desk and put it aside. He casually took out a blank piece of paper and put it in front of him, and began to write quickly.  "What are you doing?" "Write a reply to that monk Puxian!" Chen Zaixing replied without raising his head: "I want him and the abbot of the important temple in the city to give me an oath, both in Chinese and Burmese.  "The abbots of all important temples must put their fingerprints on the oath!" "What do you want this for?" Batu asked in surprise, feeling an ominous tone from Chen Zaixing's calm words!  mega.
