Lunch is indeed very simple, but the food is very delicious, Wang Hanzhang naturally said that it was delicious, and Chiang Kai-shek didn't seem to have too much heart to eat, and Song Meiling rarely found that Chiang Kai-shek had this kind of gaffe, especially when the guests were there.

Although Wang Hanzhang is not very good at observing words and feelings, but he also saw Chiang Kai-shek's abnormality, so after eating, Wang Hanzhang proposed to go back, Chiang Kai-shek readily agreed, Wang Hanzhang reminded him of the Panzhihua iron mine before leaving.

After Chiang Kai-shek returned to the study, Song Meiling also followed, Song Meiling put her hands on Chiang Kai-shek's shoulders from behind the chair and said, "Darling, what's wrong, I see that you have a lot on your mind?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Soong Meiling, who had always been his right-hand man, and told Soong Meiling about this, maybe he could get any better advice, and then told Soong Meiling everything Wang Hanzhang said in the morning about the seizure of Burma.

Song Meiling thought for a while and said: "Darling, I know that you value Han Zhang very much, and he does have some talent, but after all, he is too young and does not think about things carefully, but we can't listen to him, otherwise we will offend Britain and the United States at that time, you also know that China is a rotten plate, and the affairs of our two countries cannot be handled, even if we defeat Japan, where will we have the money, manpower, and material resources to fight a war with Britain and the United States!" What's more, if Jingguo really calls himself the emperor in Burma, then he will not be able to defeat Britain and the United States, you can't care about him, then the people will scold you for being the second Yuan Shikai, and those who oppose you in the country will unite against you, how can you secretly support it at that time, regardless of him, that is to force Jingguo to death, do they have the ability to fight the British, although the British have declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. ”

After listening to Song Meiling's words, Lao Jiang's thoughts became much clearer, and he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed, he would actually be disturbed by Wang Hanzhang's support for his son to be the emperor, it is good to be an emperor, for thousands of years, everyone has dreamed of this thing, but he has no choice, this will indeed force Jingguo to die.

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but think that everyone wanted Wang Hanzhang to be like him, there would be so many things there, and Japan could not occupy half of China, and he couldn't help but hate those who were always against him, right or wrong, as if he was always wrong.

However, he immediately thought of the iron ore incident that Wang Hanzhang said, although the current situation does not allow it, but it does not mean that he has given up completely! Chiang Kai-shek felt that he could start to develop industry, in case there was such an opportunity directly in the future, he should not miss it, and his chairman was not hereditary, and no matter how good the situation was, he would only be a lifelong leader, not to mention that today's China is in chaos like this, in case ...... It's hard to say this, it's too attractive to let his descendants stand up for themselves, Chiang Kai-shek has to admit that although Wang Hanzhang may not be trying to please him, but this seemingly non-sycophant is more useful than any sycophancy.

Song Meiling has been married to Chiang Kai-shek for more than ten years, and naturally sees her husband's thoughts, Chiang Kai-shek is a traditional Chinese man, isn't this what traditional Chinese men think, and it is precisely because Chiang Kai-shek is enterprising that he is not like ordinary people.

To be honest, Wang Hanzhang didn't want to take it out at all, and supported others to be emperors, but there was no way that his strength was really weak and vulnerable, if he had a warlord's father, he would not let others die, so Wang Hanzhang used the fact that China was encircled in later generations to motivate himself, and tried to make himself should take the interests of the Chinese nation as the starting point to tell Chiang Kai-shek about this.

On the afternoon of June 11, Chiang Kai-shek missed a decision that he regretted the most in his life, and gave up a decision that would make them emperor of the Chiang family.

Wang Hanzhang and Wei Lihuang did not take it long in Chongqing, because Wang Hanzhang wanted to avoid He Yingqin, so he flew out of Chongqing on the 12th and returned to Myanmar, of course, there is another point to start the operation, although Wang Hanzhang's plan is tempting, but whether the veteran has the courage or not, the ghost knows, so Wang Hanzhang has to do it himself.

On the plane, Wang Hanzhang communicated with Wei Lihuang first, Wang Hanzhang knew that his strength was very weak, and only the guards of his own battalion could be mobilized, and only the people in this battalion had a sense of identity with him, and the relationship between the others and himself was not stable.

Wang Hanzhang said: "Mr. Wei, this really doesn't mean when it will be fought, the people's livelihood in the country is withering, and in the southwest, it is necessary to support the army of the whole country, which is millions, and the supply of the expeditionary force depends on the Yunnan-Burma highway, which is okay in peacetime, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to do when the war is very tragic, so I want to establish an administrative system in Myanmar to facilitate the collection of some taxes in Myanmar, at least in terms of food, this treasure land of Myanmar should be able to solve most of the problems for the expeditionary force, what do you think!" ”

Wei Lihuang said: "It's good, but Burma is not our territory, even if the British don't object, there are Burmese people who hate us very much, if we collect taxes here, then it is likely to push the Burmese to the Japanese side!" ”

Wang Hanzhang said: "Mr. Wei's words are wrong, the Burmese have always been helping the Japanese, even if they are helping the Japanese, just like that, besides, we are giving them to resist the Japanese invaders, shouldn't they give some food, no matter who is in power, they have to pay taxes, if they really don't pay taxes, then just drop them, there are so many displaced people in the country, there will definitely be a lot of people who are willing to come to farm, not to pay taxes." ”

Wei Lihuang thought about it for a while and said: "It's better to apply to the above for this matter, or at least the British will not be able to explain it to the British." ”

Wang Hanzhang said: "That's just for me to do, that is, I need an army, about the strength of a brigade, I hope to quickly establish a tax system, as soon as possible to solve the food problem of the expeditionary force, so that the next time the devil comes to attack, we will have more strength to transport weapons and ammunition." ”

Wei Lihuang said: "Okay, but you have to coordinate between Chongqing and the British, don't cause any trouble." ”

Wang Hanzhang said: "I understand, but the people you send don't have the kind of people with too high ranks, you know, I was a platoon commander two months ago, and now although I am a lieutenant general, I have no prestige, if you directly send a brigade or three regiments to me, then it will be difficult for me to carry out my work." ”

Wei Lihuang smiled, "I'll try to get rid of the people in the camp and give it to you." ”

Wang Hanzhang said hehehe: "Actually, a company and a company are better, anyway, they are going to be stationed separately, it doesn't matter if it's a battalion or not, on the contrary, if you directly take away someone else's battalion, it is estimated that people will have a lot of opinions." ”

"Well, that's too!"

Wang Hanzhang continued: "It's hard for you, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't have anyone in my hands, I wouldn't have to draw some people out of the army, but this time, when this group of people solves the urgent need, I will directly recruit people from China in the future, to be honest, these big-headed soldiers are really unreliable in collecting taxes, and it is better for educated people to work as authors." ”

On the afternoon of June 12, Wang Hanzhang and Wei Lihuang finally arrived in Mandalay, Wei Lihuang deserved the demeanor of a general, after learning about the situation in Myanmar in the past two days, he immediately began to arrange manpower for Wang Hanzhang, and Wang Hanzhang naturally took Mandalay as the center and slowly spread to various places.

Wang Hanzhang actually did not have any special methods in taxation, it was completely borrowed from the methods of the colonizers, Wang Hanzhang now has very few people, so he can only adopt the method of key control, support pro-Chinese people to hold certain positions, and then Oh Wang Hanzhang controls them in the back.

In some strategic locations, stationed an army, of course, with the spread of the spread, there will be more and more troops stationed, and the Kokang area is also an important area, because nine adults here are Han Chinese, Kokang now has a population of more than 80,000, in addition to more than 10,000 who fled and returned to China, there are about 70,000 people, and 60,000 of them are Han Chinese, and the rest are other ethnic minorities in Myanmar.

Kokang is very close to Lashio, so it is easier to manage, and now the government here is a family surnamed Yang.

In the late Ming Dynasty of the mid-17th century, the Southern Ming regime Ming Zhaozong retreated to the southwest, and many Han Chinese did not return home as the Ming army moved into Yunnan and present-day Upper Burma. From the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Han Chinese in the Kokang region increased, and one family surnamed Yang moved into the Kegan Mountains, becoming a local power, and following the example of the nearby Tusi, ruled the local ethnic minorities. In 1840, Yang Guohua was awarded the title of hereditary Kokang County Commander for his meritorious service in defending China's borders, and became the Han Tusi regime recognized by China, maintaining hereditary leadership for nearly 150 years.

For a long time, the bold Yang Tusi paid tribute to both China and Mubang. In 1886, the British Empire annexed the Kampung Dynasty of Burma, and at the same time incorporated the Tusi of northern Burma into British India. The British signed a treaty with the Qing Dynasty of China, defining the Tusi on the border between China and Burma, which had traditionally not had a stable ownership, some of which were divided into Chinese ownership and some of which belonged to British Burma. After years of negotiations, the Sino-British Treaty of Renewal of Burma in 1897 was effectively included in the British Raj. Later, China ceased to own the territory. But from now on, Wang Hanzhang will take back what belongs to the Chinese nation, and of course, Myanmar.

Wang Hanzhang controlled Kokang naturally because he took a fancy to the Chinese there, and Wang Hanzhang felt that before the Han people were not relocated in China, there was absolutely no more reliable person to force these Chinese, and Wang Hanzhang needed them. They are needed to serve themselves, collect taxes, and of course many of them speak the Burmese language, which is also easy to communicate.
