The uprisingers finally woke up at this time. Several people who participated in the gunfight not long ago raised their arms and shouted slogans against the temple, while some of the uprisingers quarreled loudly with them. For more than a thousand years, Buddhism has already penetrated into the bone marrow of the Burmese nation and became an inseparable part of the Burmese people. In the eyes of a considerable number of Burmese people, no matter what the reason is, carrying weapons into the holy land of Mohe Bodhi Temple is a blasphemy, let alone shooting in the temple. This is simply inseparable.

"Silent!" The earth walker stepped forward and shouted loudly, pulling out the pistol from his waist and firing into the sky. The gunshot calmed the scene. He yelled at the insurrection with a black face: "It would be an unforgivable crime to enter the Mohe Bodhi Temple with a weapon? Well, if we did not come in with weapons today, our eyes would definitely be pecked by crows again. As for you idiots, they would be hung by the Chinese on the big tree on the roadside by the Chinese, just like Meng Ji did to the elders and village chiefs who could not give up food!"

The rude curses of the earthlings calmed down the rebels, and those who had just cursed the blasphemy lowered their heads in shame. The earthlings snorted coldly, put the pistol back into the holster, and retreated behind Song Gan. Song Gan took a step forward and shouted: "We are not willing to blaspheme the holy land, but this does not mean that we should be at the mercy of those monks. After all, monks are people serving gods and Buddhas, and they should not interfere in too much in mundane affairs, let alone collude with the Chinese. Now there are two ways in front of us: First, occupy the temples in the city, arrest the evil monks who follow the army outside the city, and stick to the city of Bagan; Second, leave Bagan as quickly as possible! Please make a choice now!"

No one of the uprisingers replied immediately. They just whispered and whispered. Song Chan did not speak, but just waited patiently. He had seen through Chen Zaixing's plan now. The reason why Chen Zaixing told him the information that the monks and nobles in Bagan City asked him to enter the city to suppress the uprisingers was not because of some kind intention, but to use the sword of the uprisingers to uproot the deep-rooted nobles and religious forces in Bagan City, and then lead troops into the city, then suppress the reputation of riots, eliminate the uprisingers, and control Pu.

The purpose of Gan and even the entire China-Myanmar region. Since the opponent's intention has been understood, the countermeasures are very clear. Songsan has stayed in the Shun Army and knew that just by relying on these thousands of unorganized soldiers, it is impossible to resist the well-trained and well-equipped Shun Army. Only by actively leaving Bagan City and going to the rural areas where the enemy's weak forces is the only way for the uprisingers to survive. As for the difficulties that cannot be replenished previously proposed by the Tuzhe, it can only be solved by division of troops. However, to do so, we must first obtain the sincere support of most of the uprisingers.

"We should stick to Bagan City!" An uprisinger shouted: "We have thousands of people, and there are enough food and bullets, and the city walls are also very strong. If we want to recruit soldiers, there are as many people as there are in the city. The Shun army can be up to two thousand people. As long as hundreds of them are killed, they will have to withdraw their troops!"

"Nonsense, when we were in Babu Village, we had tens of thousands of people, but we couldn't defeat the Shun Army. Now we can beat the thousands of people? In my opinion, we should leave here immediately!"

"You coward, because of a coward like you, you lost in Babu Village, and let the Shun people fight here!"

"Bastard, you dare to call me a coward! I will let you see who is the real coward today!"

Soon the argument turned into personal attacks and even wrestling. The earth-walker hurriedly went up and pulled them apart, not turning into a fight. Even so, the person who was pulled away still stared at the other party fiercely, as if it was his mortal enemy.

"In my opinion, I can't leave!" said a man in his forties: "You have never seen the situation of fighting Siam. When the army moved, the villagers who transported grain alone had to transport tens of thousands of people. The ships carrying grain blocked the river tightly. Although we don't have that many people now, there are more than 3,000 people. The food they eat every day has to be loaded with a few boats, as well as salt, shoes, clothes, and feed for livestock. It has accumulated in the warehouse in Bagan City, but once we leave, how many can we bring? Where can we do it? This is a big problem!"

The middle-aged man's words were like a basin of cold water pouring on everyone's heads. A picture appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Thousands of people were walking in the desolate wilderness, hunger and scorching sun torture people. On both sides of the road where the team passed, there were thin corpses scattered everywhere. This situation was so familiar to them. Compared with the bullets and artillery shells of the Shun Army, hunger was a more terrible enemy, because neither courage nor guns nor cannons could repel the attack of this invisible enemy.

"Yes, stay in Bagan!"

"I want to stay in Bagan, even if I die, I have to be a full devil!"

People's opinions were quickly unified, and the earth-walking practitioner said to Song Gan with joy: "Boss, it seems that everyone has agreed to guard Bagan City!"

Song Gan did not answer the earth walker. He stepped forward and asked the middle-aged man before: "Gray Eyes, you are a veteran. The most battles you have fought among us. Do you think this Bagan city can be defended?"

Gray eyes scratched the back of his hairless head. He was actually only thirty-six years old, but his wrinkled forehead, sunken cheeks, and slightly hunched back made him look much older than his actual age. Perhaps because of mixed blood, his eyes showed a unique light gray color, which was also the reason why he got this nickname. Faced with the problem of Songsan, Gray eyes answered cautiously: "Boss, I have never participated in the battle in Babu Village, but judging from the descriptions of the brothers who fled back and the battle at the dock not long ago, it is difficult to resist the attack of the Shun Army in Bagan. Indeed, the walls of Bagan are very strong, but the Shun Army and the others seized heavy artillery from the dock. When fighting, there are always many artillery, and the larger artillery takes advantage!"

When the earth walker on the side heard this answer, he couldn't help but be anxious and rushed forward and asked, "Is there no way?"

"This is not impossible! There is only way to let the infantry rush, but this will kill many people. And if the enemy repairs the chest wall and trench, it will be almost impossible. It is best to use cannons to deal with cannons!"

"We have guns here too!"

Gray eyes replied in embarrassment: "But our gunners are not good. If you want to shoot accurately, gunners are very important. They have all entered the school, can write and calculate, and they are almost all students from the nobles and church schools. After the mutiny, they all ran away!"

"What should I do? Are you just waiting to be beaten?" The earth walker hugged his head in despair and squatted down.

"Then leave Bagan. If there is not enough food, we will disperse into many small teams, so we don't have to worry about not being able to find food!" Song Chan replied loudly.

"Leave Bagan?"

"dispersion?"

When the uprisingers heard this proposal, they couldn't help but whisper, and everyone's faces showed a hesitant look. No wonder they were like this. Give up the city they had already controlled and gave up the warehouse full of food. This seemed not a good idea to disperse. If the person who spoke was not Song Gan, who already had a considerable prestige in their hearts, they were afraid that the uprisingers would have started to clamor.

"Yes, although Bagan is good, we can't hold on. If we continue to stay, we will become mice falling into the oil bottle and be wiped out by the Shun people. Only by leaving Bagan is our way of life..."

"But where do we go after Bagan?" an insurrectionist asked loudly, "Also, if we divide into small teams, the strength of each team will be weaker. Wouldn't it weaken your own strength?"

"We leave Bagan, go to the countryside, and go to everyone's hometown!" Song Gan replied confidently: "Everyone takes up weapons for the poor. For those who are as pitiful as us, when we return to our hometown, we can share the land of the nobles and temples with the poor, so that they can eat the rice they grow and live a happy life. If we do not disperse and control the larger area, and divide it into small teams, we can control large areas of the countryside, so that we can collect enough food and supplies to survive. Now Myanmar has no king's army, only Shunguo's army, they are foreigners, and are not familiar with the roads of Myanmar, and it is impossible to disperse into small teams to pursue us like us. As long as we occupy all the rural areas and do not allow rice to be sent to Mandalay and Bagan, Shunguo people will have no food to eat, and no matter how many cannons they have, it is useless!"

"Yes, the leader of Songsan is right!" An excited uprisinger responded: "We all go back to our hometown, kill all the abominable masters and their dog legs, and divide the land to the poor people in the village. In this way, more people will support us. Unlike staying in Bagan, we must also beware of the constant conspiracy between the noble masters and monks!"

"But the people of Shun will not stay in the city and starve. They will go out of the city to grab food. We have few people and few guns, so we will definitely not be able to beat them!" someone asked worriedly.

"We can spread apart and let the young men shoot at them behind the bushes and in the woods. They are unfamiliar with the terrain and cannot pursue us; they can also block the wells and hide the food and salt, so that they have no food or water to drink, so that they will soon have to go back to the city."

The heated discussion of the rebels soon came to a conclusion. They decided to follow Song Chan's proposal: to leave Bagan as soon as possible, and divide it into dozens of teams according to their respective hometowns, return to their hometowns, and distribute the land of the nobles and temples to the poor. They also agreed on secret orders and slogans for contact, vowing to defeat the invading Shun and British people and establish a new Myanmar where "everyone is full and warm, no one is hungry and cold."
