Chapter 760: The Dust Settles II
In addition, Nanjing, as the capital, was too thin, so Wang Feng assigned the surrounding Wuhu, Dangtu, Chuzhou, Gaochun, Zhenjiang and Yangzhou to Nanjing as subordinate counties and cities directly under the central government.
And the place name of Myanmar, the name of the small place and the small mountain and the small water Wang Feng do not care, in the future there will be a local government to change the name, he only changed a few major ones, the first is to change the name of the Irrawaddy River to the Dulong River, because the upper reaches of the eastern section of the river originated in China, in Yunnan called the Dulong River, and then named the upper Burma Dulong Province, Awa Ding as the capital of Dulong Province, renamed Nanping City.
As for Lower Burma, although in addition to Yangon, most of it has not yet arrived, but Wang Feng also changed Lower Burma to Nanhai Province in advance, Yangon was renamed Haiguang City, which is the capital of Nanhai Province, the Andaman Sea was renamed South China Sea, and the Andaman Islands were renamed South China Islands. The South China Sea Fleet was accordingly renamed the China Sea Fleet.
Wang Feng gave Pan a month to lead all the British to withdraw to Bengal, he had no ambition for Bengal, just kidding, the Burmese could not be killed, many fled to Bengal, coupled with the terrifying tens of millions of Baibailin population in Bangladesh, he really couldn't kill.
Kill a person by ten bullets, it takes more than 100 million bullets to occupy Bangladesh, according to the cost of each bullet one pound of rice, the bullet money alone is equivalent to more than 100 million pounds of rice, he can't afford to kill, he just wants to take down Arakan, drive all the local population into Bangladesh, and take the 900-kilometer-long Arakan Mountains as the dividing line between the Han civilization and the Baibailin civilization, in history, the Arakan Mountains are also the natural division between Myanmar and the Indian subcontinent.
After arranging everything, Wang Feng took the fleet to Mawlamyine, located on the west side of the South China Sea, the capital of the former Mon State of Burma, and the most important port and trading city in the Tanah Salin region of Lower Burma by the British, and the negotiations with the British were also handed over to Li Hongzhang.
In the face of the protests and threats of the British day after day, Li Hongzhang gave full play to the ability to play Tai Chi, blocking left and right, and did not give in half a step, and finally, under the increasingly urgent military pressure, the British could not sit still, and on the tenth to last day before the January deadline, that is, on November 10, the first batch of British and Indian troops and 5,000 expatriates began to retreat to Bengal. That is, Jiang Zhongji's 16th Army and Zhang Suimou's 8th Army, which were reorganized from the Miao Mountain Division and the local armed forces in northern Burma, rushed to Arakan.
With nearly 80,000 troops and more than 400 artillery pieces above the small mountain cannon, the first task was, of course, to spy on the British and send the Indian troops out of the country, and the second was to drive the locals to Bengal, and those who resisted did not mind letting them stay in Arakan forever!
According to British journalists, in a town of 8,000 people, more than ninety percent of the residents were white forests, and the indigenous people were instead excluded and hid in Burma, which was intolerable for Wang Feng, who was committed to building a Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist civilization in the North Pacific and the eastern Indian Ocean and a great Chinese cultural circle.
