Chapter 022: A Bold Move

As mentioned earlier, Wang Hanzhang wanted to win over the Chinese in Kokang and reuse them, so he naturally had to better understand whether the current rulers of Kokang were still willing to safeguard the interests of the Chinese.

Wang Hanzhang didn't want to imagine that he was a Han here, and Zuxiang defended his family and the country, so he thought he was patriotic, otherwise there would not be so many traitors in China.

On June 17, Wang Hanzhang took the ten companies that Wei Lihuang had transferred to him and one of his own battalions of guards, and at the same time carried enough Japanese equipment for one regiment to Kokang.

Although the affairs of Mandalay have not been dealt with yet, the general framework has been set up, not to mention that Wei Lihuang's headquarters and tens of thousands of troops are here, so there is no need to worry about any rebellion.

Therefore, Wang Hanzhang plans to do the local administrative objects in Lashio and other places first, of course, the later immigrants also need to stabilize along the road, and the immigrants must ban Lashio and other places, so Wang Hanzhang must control this place first, in addition, Lashio is Dai Anlan's troops, the garrison of his hometown troops, and they will definitely support him.

There is still a little bit of British power in the northwest of Burma, but in the central and eastern regions, the British and their lackeys have long run out, even if China wins two battles, the British do not dare to come back, they have the same idea as the Japanese, they do not rely on real strength to fight, the strategy can be used once or twice, but in the face of real strength, it is impossible to use it forever, so their task is to stick to India, and now they have all the expatriates withdrawn to the west of the Brahmaputra River, There was only a large army in Imphal, India, where the remnants of the defeated army were in a state of panic, and had it not been for the stern demands of the British government, they would have wanted to withdraw to the west bank of the Brahmaputra River.

And the British government wants these people to stick to Imphal and other areas east of the Brahmaputra River, but it is actually worried that the Japanese will incite the independence of Indians in this area after occupying here, the Indians here have a population of 20 million, if they are really instigated, it is not a joke, if the Japanese women really support these Indians, then as long as the radio is used to incite the Indians under British rule to become independent, and some people are filming to enter the propaganda, the Japanese do not have to fight, and the British ** team has absolutely no way to suppress the Indians at this time. What's more, if the Japanese army presses the border, there will be no way to deal with it, then Britain will lose 40% of the source of materials, although the British believe that the Americans will provide, but the Americans will not have no requirements, the British do not want to become a dog of the Americans in the future, although it is possible now, but after keeping India and defeating Germany, India's rich manpower, material resources and resources and market will allow Britain to rise rapidly and become a veritable British Empire again, so India cannot be lost.

On June 18th, Wang Hanzhang arrived in Lashio, first visited Dai Anlan, to be honest, without his promotion and care, his dispensable credit would not have been able to rise so quickly, and Lashio's future administrative work is naturally inseparable from his help.

I didn't expect Wang Hanzhang to come, I was very happy, of course, Dai Anlan is a very honest and selfless person, he won't think about the promotion of Wang Hanzhang at the beginning, and he has the grace of knowing Wang Hanzhang, he just thinks that Wang Hanzhang sent him a thousand oceans at the beginning, so that his family can live a peaceful and stable life. In this troubled world, in addition to gold is silver, thinking about what legal tender is no longer good, the degree does not dare to ask, but the ocean is cast in silver, but it is a veritable hard currency, Wang Hanzhang gave a thousand oceans at once, and the stroke is not small.

Wang Hanzhang bought 60 big fat pigs at the same time as entering the city and gave them to the brothers who had expanded from the 200th division to the 88th army, although most of them were not familiar with it, but it didn't matter, who came out of the 200th division compared to Wang Hanzhang, they were also very proud.

The current 88th Army has 30,000 horses, 60 big fat pigs, and an average of 500 people eat one pig.

Dai Anlan was already waiting for Wang Hanzhang at the city gate, Wang Hanzhang didn't expect Dai Anlan to come to pick him up, Wang Hanzhang asked the troops to camp outside the city, and he followed Dai Anlan into the city, without even bringing a single guard.

Dai Anlan did not prepare a particularly delicious reception for Wang Hanzhang, but this time he summoned the leaders of the original regiments to accompany him.

Several people took turns to joke about Wang Hanzhang, except for Dai Anlan who forced Wang Hanzhang to have a high military rank, only Gao Jiren was the same as Wang Hanzhang's military rank, Wang Hanzhang knew that they were a little jealous, so he let them joke.

Dai Anlan is a very strict person, not only the meal is simple, but also there is no wine, after eating, Dai An came to ask Wang Hanzhang why he came to Lashio, Wang Hanzhang did not hide it in front of so many people, and directly told them the idea of taking over Myanmar and collecting taxes from here.

Everyone also knew that the war might not end in a short time, so they also agreed with Wang Hanzhang to do this, in fact, if a tax is levied here, the pressure on the people in the country will be less.

Then everyone talked about some other things, the next day Wang Hanzhang watched the training of the 88th Army New Army, Wang Hanzhang synthesized the training summarized by the later generations seen on the Internet, and told Dai Anlan his thoughts, of course, focusing on the training of jungle troops, because Southeast Asia is a dense forest, to fight here, there is no army that is good at fighting in the jungle.

On June 20, Wang Hanzhang photographed three companies, one to Nandu and two to the Boudwin mining area, which is an important non-ferrous metal source in Myanmar. In the northern part of Shan State, 60 km northwest of Lashio. Silver, lead, zinc, nickel and gold are found in the vicinity. It was discovered and mined in small quantities as early as the 15th century, and modern mining began in 1891. There is a branch line of the railway that connects with the Mandalay-Lashio railway.

Nandu is between Laura and the Baldwin mine, and there is a railway connection between the three, but the railway has been demolished and repaired to repair the railway between Lashio and Mandalay, which was blown up by Japanese planes, so now the three companies have to walk through.

Although Bao Dewin has been damaged by the war now, it is impossible for Wang Hanzhang to stop the gold and silver mines there, Wang Hanzhang needs money too much now, how can he let go of the gold and silver mines, which are similar to money printing machines!

At the same time, Wang Hanzhang arrived on the same day in the main town of Denni, the main town in the north of Lashio, Wang Hanzhang set up a government here, and at the same time stationed a company of troops here, and sent a company to Nankan, which is very close to China, and Nankan is Bamo to the west, but there is to cross the upper reaches of the Irrawaddy River, and at the same time it may be more sensitive, Wang Hanzhang does not want to alarm the British for the time being, Wang Hanzhang must at least form a certain force in Lashio and other places, and then send people to take over those places, although it is very fertile now, But it's not the time yet, Wang Hanzhang understands that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

On June 23, after Wang Hanzhang had dealt with the affairs of Denni and established a provisional government here, he went to Kokang with more than 800 men.

Along the way, many local forces sent this to Wang Hanzhang and sent that, Wang Hanzhang naturally accepted them all, don't do it in vain, maybe they have been frightened by the squadron's annihilation of the Japanese army of more than 100,000 troops, one is now coming to deal with them, after all, the British in history have done this after defeating the Kingdom of Burma, so they dare not be disobedient, not to mention that Wang Hanzhang has not done anything to them now, nor has he threatened their interests, so they can not offend the squadron, they must not offend the squadron, Thousands of years of prestige have always been above them, not to mention that hundreds of thousands of troops can be drawn out in China at any time to deal with them, even if they are familiar with the terrain, but the hundreds of thousands of troops in Burma, their bows and arrows and muskets from a hundred years ago are useless.

When Wang Hanzhang asked people to calculate, they actually obtained more than 200,000 oceans of finance, it seems that Myanmar is still very rich, at least those local forces have saved a lot of money in their families, Wang Hanzhang can be sure that these people's loose money, not even a dime, if all their money is confiscated, I am afraid that the amount, Wang Hanzhang thought about it, swallowed a little saliva, thinking about the gold and silver treasures of the whole Myanmar, almost saliva left a place.

There are so many of them in the poor areas north of Lashio, and if it is the southern plains of Myanmar, how many are there, can it not be exciting?

From June 23rd to 28th, he inspected the surrounding people along the road, and at the same time, Wang Hanzhang wanted the people around him to send him treasures, and finally arrived in Kokang on the 28th, realizing that Wang Hanzhang had sent someone to inform Kokang Tusi, so there was no misunderstanding.

In the half century of British rule, in addition to suffering from the exploitation and difficulties of the British, the Chinese here are very strong, and Yang Tusi can rule here for so long, but also thanks to the persecution of the local people and colonialism and tightly united around the Tusi, and the Yang surname Tusi is also trying to protect the interests of the Chinese.

Of course, all this has been known in advance, if other Burmese people do a sneak attack, or even if they inadvertently offend their own troops, Wang Hanzhang will definitely not give up, but if his troops suddenly appear in Kokang, but the invasion of the local armed forces, it will be really difficult to deal with, so Wang Hanzhang should notify in advance to avoid misunderstanding.

Wang Hanzhang's famous Tusi already knew, this time he came out to greet him in person, first, he was from his country's army, and he admired Wang Hanzhang a lot, and he was promoted to general by his military industry at a young age, which is indeed remarkable. At the same time, Tusi also knew that Wang Hanzhang was sure that something was going on, and he must not have any unpleasant things happen because of his own negligence, although urban Chinese have the same ancestor, but the chaos in China can be blamed except for the Chinese's own selfishness.
