The establishment of an independent government of Burma was a dream of Aung San and others, and every time this issue was raised to them in their dealings with the Japanese, they always used various excuses to prevaricate, either because the time was not yet ripe or because the current war was urgent, and the conditions for its establishment did not allow for the uncertainty.

I thought it would be just as difficult here in the expeditionary force, but I never thought it would be so light. It's just that what Aung San doesn't know is that this is Huang Zheng's own will, or the high-level of the expeditionary force, or the meaning of Nanjing?

But at this moment, he decided to pretend to be stupid, he nodded and said: "The expeditionary force is really bright, and the things agreed upon before will be fulfilled immediately." Okay, let's prepare for the next two days, and we will hold the inauguration ceremony on a certain day. ”

After speaking, Huang Zheng waved his hand and said, "This is not in a hurry." ”

As soon as his words fell, Aung San and the others glanced at each other, what kind of medicine is sold in this Huang Zheng gourd?

Huang Zheng ignored their gaze and said, "I mean, you first telegraphed to announce the establishment of an independent government of Burma. As for the grand ceremony and the like, it is better to wait until the situation is stable before making a decision. ”

Aung San understood what it meant, and he nodded, "To be like this, to be like this." ”

"In this case, you will draft a telegram today, which means the founding of the country and the anti-Japanese and the like. I'll send it out early tomorrow morning. We will not intervene in this regard, but this independent state-building is your own business, and we are just here to open up the Yunnan-Burma Road, so naturally there is no need to mention us. The meaning of Huang Zheng's words could not be clearer, which means that the independence of the Burmese has little to do with the expeditionary force, but this is also said on the surface, and it is impossible to hide it from the British.

After deploying these, the gunfire outside has largely stopped. Huang Zheng picked up the military hat on the table and said, "General Aung San, I won't stay longer, it's time to go back to the camp." ”

Huang Zheng and the others were leaving, and Aung San politely kept him, but Huang Zheng pushed it off with a lot of affairs. As he was about to reach the door, Khun Sa came over to Aung San and asked, "General Aung San, why didn't you see Commander Min Aung?" ”

Aung San smiled and said, "This traitor has been executed!" ”

Khun Sha nodded, he had an inside line in the troops on both sides, and he naturally knew the situation, but he still admired Aung San for his straightforward and decisive actions.

……

More than two hours earlier, four of Min Aung's soldiers had walked out with Aung San. They were ready to execute Aung San in the backyard.

Four soldiers stood with guns in hand, and Aung San staggered forward with his hands tied behind his back.

By this time, the back of his spine was soaked, and beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead.

"Alright, here it is." An officer shouted.

He waved his hand and motioned for Aung San to stop.

Aung San stopped, stood in a remote corner of the backyard, closed his eyes, and waited for death to come.

At this time, a burst of gunfire rang out, and Aung San's heart was suddenly startled, and the whole person also fell down. A moment later, a man came up and said, "General Aung San, General Aung San." ”

Aung San opened his eyes at this time, and a second lieutenant of the Burmese army squatted down and said: "We are all members of the guard of the Burmese army headquarters, and just now Min Aung's people broke us apart, and my brothers and I noticed that something was wrong, so we came back to take a look, but I didn't expect them to be ready to attack you."

As he spoke, the second lieutenant pulled out his bayonet and cut the rope that was tied to Aung San's wrist.

After freeing himself from the rope, Aung San was a little excited, and he patted the second lieutenant on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, thank you!" If you come any later, I'm afraid I'll be killed by them. ”

As he spoke, he almost cried tears of joy.

When the second lieutenant saw him like this, he asked directly, "General Aung San, what should we do next?" ”

Aung San calmed down and regained his composure, and he glanced at the crowd: "How many soldiers are there now?" ”

The second lieutenant glanced behind him and said, "Sixteen." ”

"Okay, come with me." Aung San took the Baishi* in the hands of one of the guards and said, "Go, follow me to find Min'aung, a traitor!" ”

Although sixteen soldiers are not much, the headquarters of the Burmese army at this time is already in chaos, and Min Aang's men are only a few dozen. What's more, Aung San's prestige among the officers and soldiers is still there, if he shows up with the soldiers, who would dare to really shoot at him?

When Aung San led a team of officers and soldiers into Min Aung's basement, Min Aung was still there celebrating the killing of Aung San and getting rid of a major problem.

Aung San's breakdown is similar to the scene when Min Aung led people to break into the door half an hour ago, except that this time the two sides exchanged positions.

Seeing Aung San come back, Min Aung was greatly surprised, he was about to pull out the pistol on his waist, but the * in Aung San's hand had already sounded, he pulled the trigger on Min Aung, a series of bullets knocked Min Aung's body far away, he did not struggle and did not resist the stall and died there.

Aung San didn't blink his eyes, and he said with a cold face: "Carry this corpse and throw it out!" ”

At this time, Minang's subordinates, who heard the news, saw that Minang was dead, and they were confused for a while, and they didn't know what to do. Aung San said loudly: "The traitorous act was committed by Min Aung alone, and has nothing to do with the others, and now that he has been corrected, everyone has returned to their respective posts and waited for the arrival of the expeditionary force." ”

When everyone heard that this side was no longer being investigated, they all settled down and went back.

……

Huang Zheng returned to his temporary office, which was originally the residence of high-ranking Japanese officers, and when the battle began, it was almost under attack, so it became an ideal residence.

The house was built in the Western-style style by the British, and after the arrival of high-ranking Japanese officers, it was renovated, and the original hardwood floor was equipped with tatami mats and other things.

Kunsha said that in two days, he would have all the tatami mats removed. Huang Zheng said that there was no need, "It's good to have these tatami mats, and you can't throw away everything left by the Japanese." ”

Kun Sha nodded, he said that there is a hot water room next door, and there is a restaurant downstairs, Huang Zheng's room is where a major general of the Japanese army lives, and it is relatively clean, with a Western-style spring bed and a floor clock, which looks simple and luxurious.

Huang Zheng nodded, changed his clothes and went to take a shower. After taking a bath, seeing that Kun Sha had not left yet, he knew that Kun Sha had something to say, "Come in and sit, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Kun Sha thought for a while and said: "Commander Zhao, it's not that I deliberately questioned you, but it's just that tomorrow I will let the Burmese army release a telegram on independence and statehood, is it too early?" And then there's ......"

Kun Sha didn't say the rest of the words, but Huang Zheng understood what he meant. He took over and said, "Do you want to ask, is this the meaning of the top, or is it me?" ”

Kunsha didn't deny it and nodded.

Huang Zheng poured a glass of water and handed it to Kun Sha, then took another sip of the cup, "To be honest, according to your level, you have no right to ask about these things." Even if you ask me now, it's all against the law. ”

Kun Sha immediately put down the water cup and stood up, and was about to explain, but Huang Zheng waved his hand to signal him to continue to sit down.

"I can understand your feelings. You are responsible for the success of Yangon this time. In my opinion, Aung San did not intend to revolt at first, and this armed insurrection was probably the result of your use of means. ”、

Kun Sha suddenly felt uneasy, and he wanted to explain what had happened, but he swallowed back the words when they came to his lips.

Huang Zheng continued: "I don't know what methods you used to make the Burmese army defect. However, it can be proved that you are a person of courage, and Uncle Yang was right to send you over. ”

"Uncle Yang?" Kunsha couldn't help but repeat it.

Huang Zheng realized that he had made a mistake, so he changed the topic and said, "Let's not talk about this first." Since you want to know, I might as well tell you that this matter was instructed by the top, and of course, I myself supported it. ”

Kun Sha thought carefully about the meaning of these words, and Huang Zheng continued: "The upper echelons naturally have their considerations when they do this. As for the reasons for this, we can only speculate on it. But you have to know that we have to speculate in our hearts, not in words. ”

Kun Sha immediately stood up and said, "Yes, my subordinates understand. ”

"Let's stop here. I will give you the first credit for the Battle of Yangon, and the reward for Nanjing will come down soon. I've read your information, you're only in your twenties this year, and you already have such courage and merit, and your future is naturally limitless. In the case of Yangon, you must have used extraordinary means, which I agree with and admire from the bottom of my heart! ”

"However, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and there will definitely be some people who make a fuss about these things in the future. I also hope that you can guard against arrogance and rashness and keep it up. ”

After Huang Zheng finished speaking, he picked up the teapot and refilled Kun Sha's cup, but his cup barely moved, that is, a symbolic addition.

Seeing that Huang was about to rest, Kun Sha stood up and said, "Chief Zhao, it's not early, then I'll go back first." You should rest early, too. ”

Huang Zheng nodded and motioned for him to go out.

After Kun Sha walked out of the door, Huang Zheng called Zhu Jingxing, who lived not far away, in.

Zhu Jingxing was very neat, he took a shower as soon as he moved in, changed into a washed military uniform, and his whole mental outlook was much fuller.

"After all, it's a reader, as soon as I came in, I knew to find the bathroom, I didn't think about it." Because Zhu Jingxing and his younger brother Huang Zhengzhong are bunk beds, Huang Zheng naturally treats him as a younger brother.

Zhu Jingxing smiled, "I'm tired, I washed it when I saw a bathroom." ”

"Okay, I've got a mission for you." Huang Zheng said, leaned over and whispered, Zhu Jingxing couldn't stop nodding as he listened.

After speaking, Huang Zheng patted him on the shoulder and asked seriously, "Do you remember everything clearly?" ”

Zhu Jingxing nodded, "I remember clearly." I'll arrange it now. ”

"Well, remember, be careful with secrecy and don't let them find out. Make sure you get the job done, though. Huang Zheng said seriously.

"Yes!" Zhu Jingxing leaned on his heels and snapped upright.
