In fact, neither Yang Feng nor Li Zongren want to negotiate now.

They made serious mistakes in their judgment of the combat effectiveness of the Burmese army. No one expected that they could not help but fight, and the two armies would go directly to Mandalay. In this way, their previous plans were too conservative, and they also ignored the unexpected factor of the Karen Alliance. With such a group of allies, Wu Nu could be taken seriously.

Just keep giving them arms. Wu Nu just stops when he knows the tact, and Wu Nu is not tactful, so he gives more. Anyway, it's just a scrap metal.

If the Karen people can't stand Wu Nu, then fight here. If the Karen people have the upper hand, then slow down here and control the rhythm. This game can be played for decades.

In this way, there is no need to give up the occupied area west of the Irrawaddy River and north of the country. We still negotiate and talk about what to do, who will spit out the fat meat in our mouths? As for the control of the occupied area, it is no big deal. Didn’t the British control the same in the past?

But the subsequent attack is also unnecessary. The most effective threat is to draw a bow without firing. A Mandalay, which may be conquered at any time, is much more valuable than a Mandalay that has been conquered.

So Li Zongren, on the grounds that the Hongshawaddy government had no sincerity in peace talks, clearly rejected Wu Nu's request for peace talks, and claimed that he would fight to Yangon and discuss the territorial dispute between the two sides with him in person.

However, after a day of bombardment of the city, the Minh Chinese Army, which had already arrived in Mandalay, did not force the crossing of the Irrawaddy River as Wu Nu and Wu Naiwen were worried about, and instead stopped further offensives. Bai Chongxi was in charge of Ruibao. The eighth and 48th armies maintained the threat to Mandalay, and used two armored regiments to cooperate with the reinforcements of the 26th Army to cross the Meng River, easily captured Mengyuwa, an important town on the Qindun River, and then crossed the Qindun River and gradually cleared all parts of the west bank.

Wu Naiwen, who had limited troops and had to protect Mandalay, could only watch the Renhua Army pick fruits there as if no one was around, and even threatened Ren'anqiang to the south, which forced Wu Nu to send two new divisions who were about to enter the Eastern Front battlefield to Ren'anqiang again. This ancient oil field was also something he must not lose. Although the output was only one million tons a year, it was the main support for his finances.

However, the strange performance of the Renminbi Army finally made Wu Nu take a breath. After the situation on the Western Front temporarily stabilized, he began to deal with the Karen Alliance seriously.

But at this time, the Karen Alliance was already very difficult to deal with. These mountain people were brave and good at fighting. They were so poor that they could threaten Yangon, not to mention the Hanyang building now. There were even some mortars and grenade launchers eliminated by Li Zongren and were sold to them at a bargain price. The firepower suddenly increased to a higher level, and most of the Burmese army attacked them were pieced together new recruits. On this front, the Burmese army was also in a miserable way.

"Don't care about them! With the Karen Alliance here, Wu Nu is just something we can do. Now it's time to consider the issue of the occupied area."

In the capital of Yingtian Yuan, Yang Feng said enthusiastically to Li Zongren and Huang Xuchu.

"Now your occupied area starts from Mizhina, and goes south along the Mengyang Valley, then south along the Meiza Valley, and then add the Meng River, downstream of the Qindun River to the open plain of the Irrawaddy River, such a long strip-shaped area with a large bone shape. To the eastwards, the Irrawaddy River Valley and then to the Shan State Plateau, this is still in the controlled area of ​​the Hongshawadie government, but in fact, it is full of messy people. Wu Nu will be very happy, so the threats of these people can be ignored.

The road to Assam is also under your control. If you go north, you can just take over a group of grapes. But to the south, the upper reaches of the Qindun River, the Rukai Mountains still belongs to the Hongshawadi government. However, if you control the lower reaches of the Qindun River, this place has actually become an enclave, and you can take over it by just a few people. In this way, the biggest threat to you is actually the neutral Kachin mountain people. These guys are difficult to deal with, and it will be troublesome if you start a guerrilla war.

I have a plan here, you can go back and test these guys, and if they don’t want to, let’s find another way.”

"What is your plan, Head?"

Huang Xuchu asked hurriedly.

They also knew that the problems of the Kachin people must be solved, because to mine jade from the mountains, it would be impossible to bypass these guys. Once this treasure house is opened, it would be strange if the latter is not jealous!

"Invite them to go down the mountain to live!"

Yang Feng said sinisterly: "The number of Kachin people is actually not large, there are only a few hundred thousand people in total, and there are also a large number of people living on flat ground. Even if all of these people go down the mountain, they don't need too many places. Of course, there is indeed no place at the foot of the mountain now, but what if some of the Burmese people are driven away?

Give them a rich and good place, invite them down the mountain, encourage them to drive away the Burmese people. Anyway, they have a grudge. We just need to clear the field for them and let them do it themselves. We promise to welcome them to live with the Han people on the plains and build a country together. In short, give them enough cakes to trick them out of the scattered mountains and forests. Shenzhi can also use some small things to coax them. I can also give them food, as long as they come out of the mountain."

"First of the People, you are raising pigs!"

Huang Xuchu suddenly understood Yang Feng’s intention.

The Kachin people are difficult to deal with. It is not that they have many people and can fight. No matter how hard they can fight, they are just a group of semi-civilized savages. Can they block tanks or fighter jets? But where they live, the savage mountain, which died of illness and starved to death by tens of thousands of expeditionary forces, is their homeland, a vast and boundless primeval forest. Not to mention going in and hit them, outsiders will die forever. On the contrary, if they want to come out and attack, they can do it at any time. If you try to attack, they will be invincible. In this case, they will be invincible.

However, such a living environment is also difficult.

They are easily tempted by good things outside the mountain, give them plains, delicious food and fun, just like boiling frogs in warm water, boiling them from brave and warlike mountain people into fat pigs that only know how to eat and drink. By then, even if they raise the butcher's knife and put it on their necks, they will hum at most twice. The wild boar that tigers in the mountains are afraid of, and this is how they become domestic pigs that can be slaughtered. The only problem is that this will take longer.

But they need a quick solution because the jade in the mountains is almost too late.

Li Zongren looked at Yang Feng with inquiring eyes.

"Dong De, please believe me. As long as they walk out of the mountains and forests, the name of the Kachin people will basically disappear."

Yang Feng said lightly.

"Okay, I'll go back and test them. Even if I'm grateful to them for being neutral, anyway, the Burmese people should try to be as few as possible on our territory. It's better for them to do this kind of thing than for us."

Li Zongren nodded and said.

This kind of thing has accumulated countless experiences throughout the dynasties. He has controlled Guangxi for decades and is even more a veteran in playing this.

"There is also the question of the way you rule there in the future. I think the best way is to build your own city alone and not to live with other ethnic groups. You should know that if you are not my race, your heart will be different. The number of us Han people is too small. Only when we live together can we form a powerful force. If we disperse or mix sand on our own, we will perish ourselves.

So my suggestion is to adopt a population registration system. Cities where Han people live are prohibited from living, and even if they enter the city, they must hold corresponding documents, otherwise they can be arrested. With the current number of Han people, they can establish four cities, Mizhina in the north, Ruibao and Mengyuwa in the south, Menggong in the middle, and the four places are connected by existing railways.

However, these four cities do not need to build new cities according to the original city, but to build new cities separately, which avoids conflicts with the natives of these cities. After all, in the initial stage, what we need is to settle our home first. As for the construction costs, my bank will provide you with loans, steel and cement and other materials needed. This will be purchased from me directly with a loan, including construction technicians, which will be hired here. Although it will take longer, it can ensure that it will not be disturbed.

These cities are built according to fortifications, and all the people are soldiers. All Han people, both men and women, must undergo militarization training. In this way, four cities are four fortifications, and then the four cities are used as the core to develop industries.

Taking Mizhi as an example, it is surrounded by mountains and forests, and a large number of precious teaks are produced. It is possible to develop wood processing, papermaking, packaging materials and other industries. At the same time, there are many types of fruits around it, and canned juice processing is also a good project.

Meng Gong can completely develop into a jade and jade processing and trade center in the future. Looking at such a large jade mine, of course, you have to rely on the mountains to earn the mountains. As for Ruibao, this is the most important grain production area. I will provide you with good varieties. You can build some large plantations around here. Anyway, there are mainly Burmese settlement areas. You might as well be more ruthless to these people. I don’t think I need to teach land annexation, right?

There is a copper mine near Monywa, which is quite large in scale. In Gliva, the upper reaches of the Qindun River, there is a large coal mine, which can be completely transformed into a heavy industrial city.

You see, four cities will rise in one go, and your country's skeleton will be established. As for these cities, if you care about their deaths, let them be in chaos. If they are not in chaos, you will also provoke them to kill each other. Anyway, there are more or less hatred among these messy nations, and there are some conflicts of interest. Promise them and draw cakes for them. You just need to make sure that the Honshawardi government will come back and that there are no one to let them manage and orderly, and then you live comfortably in these cities to develop economic growth and gradually expand the city's territory."

Yang Feng said proudly. (To be continued.)
