Chapter 79 Under the Plenipotentiary Ambassador

"I agree with you, Your Excellency Ambassador!"

"Mr. Jillins!" Belfort looked at Jillins' eyes: "Frankly speaking, an important task for the Prime Minister to come to Myanmar is to solve the problem here on your behalf. He is very angry at your act of stabbing what happened here to those backbenchers without authorization and providing ammunition to attack the cabinet to the gunmen of Disraelli. But I think if you are removed from your post now, it will cause irreparable losses to the Empire's interests in Myanmar. So, I hope to cooperate honestly during this period and serve Her Majesty the Queen together!" Speaking of this, Belfort extended his right hand to Jillins.

Jillins hesitated for a moment, still clenched the other party's right hand and whispered: "Serve Her Majesty the Queen!"

Belfort shook the other person's hand vigorously, sat back to the desk, and began to write letters fluently. Jilins glanced at him curiously and heard Belfort's voice.

"Mr. Gillins, I am writing to Kolkata and Singapore, asking the Far East Fleet and India to send enough troops and warships suitable for inland shipping to Yangon, and you can now draw six infantry battalions from the garrisons in Yangon to Major Duncan and give him command."

"Mr. Ambassador--" Jillins was a little scared by Belford's words just now. After he was stolen, India's attitude towards him completely changed. Not to mention the Indian territory barracks and warships that had been agreed upon, there were not even shallow water gunboats and weapons to form the Myanmar infantry battalion. So after Duncan took the advance team to Bagan, the follow-up troops never came. But Belford now asked him to draw out six battalions of Yangon's garrison troops. You must know that Yangon's current garrison troops now have only about six battalions, so it is almost time to take it.

"Mr. Jillins." Belfort finished writing a letter and looked up at Jillins who were staying there. He thought the other party opposed him and suddenly pulled out too many garrison soldiers: "You don't have to worry about Yangon's defense. Before coming, the Prime Minister had already written to the Governor of India and the commander of the Far East Fleet. At most, reinforcements from Kolkata and Singapore can be arrived! You can arm the European expatriates in this gap as a transition period."

"I understand, I will go and get the garrison troops ready to set off!" Jillins turned and walked outward. When he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped and asked with his back to Belfort, "Mr. Ambassador, why did you take such a fierce action? As far as I know, isn't this the request of Mr. Disraeli of the Liberal Party?"

"Mr. Gillins, it seems that you have been away from Great Britain for too long!" Belfort raised his head and smiled, "Have you forgotten that you have such a statement in the lower house? 'If you want to retreat, you have to pretend to be moving forward on the surface!' Since Mr. Disrali has blown this wind up, whoever shows a little weakness on the Burma issue now means suicide politically, then the only thing we can do now is to be more radical than he asked. I can tell you now that Yangon is only the first stop of my trip to the Far East, and the next stop I am about to go to Japan and the Russian Far East."

"Can the Empire want to be with Japan and Russia--" Jilins grew up with his mouth in horror and looked blankly at Belford behind the desk.

"Yes, Mr. Gillins! As you have heard, once the snowball starts to roll, it is not our control, it will roll bigger and bigger along its own route, whizzing down, and swallowing everything in it!" Belfort stared at the other side: "Then now, Mr. Gillins, please work hard like a loyal servant of Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Yes, of course!" Jilins hurriedly bowed to Belfort, carefully exited the door, and took the door to go out along the corridor. On the way, his heart was surging. Belfort's words just now contained very amazing news. In order to deal with the attacks of the opposition party, the Marquis of Salisbury decided to change his policy toward China and even the entire Far East. On the one hand, he increased the military power of Myanmar, and on the other hand, formed an alliance with Japan and Russia to borrow their power to restrain China. Such a huge change was triggered by a small coup instigated by him. At this time, Jilins couldn't help feeling both panic and excited.

Mandalay, the Burmese Captain's Office.

Zao Guoquan meticulously finished the last stroke of the memorial, raised his head and said to Chen Zaixing with a smile: "Mr. Chen, since that's the case, I will submit the court to the court, and I don't know if you are the chief minister of the lieutenant and the subordinates of the general in the mansion?"

Chen Zaixing took a step back and bowed and said, "Sir, I really feel ashamed of being the one who values ​​it so much. The chief of the lieutenant's office is the chief assistant. He has a great responsibility. Please think twice!"

"Brother Fusheng doesn't have to be too humble. You are the second-level official recommended by the late emperor. You have been in Hongwenguan. You are a talented person in the prime minister. You have been in Myanmar for so many years. It is really appropriate to be the chief secretary of the lieutenant's office, unless you think this position is not worthy of your second-level official, and you are so talented!"

"The adult said this, no matter how anxious he was, he could only try his best, hoping that he would no longer be entrusted by the adult!"

When Zao Guoquan heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, okay, okay! As long as you and I work together, why should we be afraid of the British? Myanmar will always be the southwest vassal state of the court!"

"Mr. Chen should follow the horse's tail!" Chen Zaixing bowed, and the laughter of Zao Guoquan and Chen Zaixing echoed in the room, and a harmonious atmosphere.

"Two sirs, there is an emergency military situation with Lord Baganba!"

The announcement outside the door broke the joyful atmosphere in the room. Zao Guoquan gently shook the front of his robe, regained his posture of sitting upright, slightly raised his jaw, and said in a deep voice: "Pick it in!"

Qu Duan took a small quick step from outside the door to Zao Guoquan, bowed and presented the letter with both hands. Zao Guoquan reached out to take the letter, Qu Duan hurriedly walked out the door carefully and stood solemnly. This confidant who came to Myanmar with Zao Guoquan lost the favor of the old master after Chen Zaixing seized military power and became just an ordinary record room. Zao Guoquan no longer allowed him to participate in the confidentiality as before.

Zao Guoquan gently stroked the beard under his chin with one hand and held the letter in the other hand and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he snorted coldly, handed the letter to Chen Zaixing, and whispered: "Fusheng, you can take a look too!"

"Yes, sir!" Chen Zaixing took the letter, looked carefully, closed his eyes and thought for a while. At this time, Zaixuquan did not urge him. When Chen Zaixing opened his eyes again, Zaixuquan asked in a low voice: "Resurrection, what do you think?"

"Sir, Brother Zhenwu said in his letter that there are two things: one is that the civil unrest in China and Myanmar centered on Bagan. The reason is that the king and nobles do not care about the people and exploit them very quickly. After the Mandalay and Bagan changes, their military weapons were traversed with the defeated soldiers. Among them, the powerful Liang people gathered to invade and plunder all directions. There were already red eyebrows and yellow turbans. Many Burmese nobles and monks asked the country to send troops to conquer. The second is that in recent days, the British began to launch a large increase in troops to Bagan, and some Burmese nobles and monks surrendered to the British to seek protection of their industries. In this way, the British also had guidance and hawks and dogs, no longer being isolated and helpless, and they were active frequently, and they were afraid that the war would break out."

"The heroes have a similar view!" Zao Guoquan praised: "Indeed, the situation in Bagan is now 'a storm is coming and the wind is coming'. How should Fusheng deal with it?"

"Sir, I know very little about the situation of the enemy and us now, and I don't know how to plan!" Chen Zaixing replied: "But there are two things that must be done immediately. First, ensure the transportation between Bagan and Mandalay, which can be attacked and retreated and defended; second, speed up the speed of transporting troops from the domestic market, and strive to increase the strength of three targets in Bagan in 20 days, and make up for the two targets of the targets of the master. In this way, there will be a battalion of troops in Myanmar. I dare not say that I will win, but at least I can remain unbeaten."

"Resurrection is so urgent!" Zao Guoquan smiled and said, "Three bids in 20 days, and there is still about one bid to supplement the soldiers. Not counting the chief husband, even if the war soldiers are about 10,000, it will take one and a half months from Kunming to Wancheng, from Wancheng to Larong, and from Mandalay."

"It's all my fault for doing something wrong before. Please forgive me!" Chen Zaixing hurriedly bowed down and bowed. Both he and Zaixu Quan knew that Hanjing had appointed Zaixu Quan as the lieutenant of the Burmese protection camp and the commander of the Myanmar military. Wu Hanmin, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, was a commander of Chen Zaixing, played a lot in the process of communicating troops, but he didn't expect that he would shoot himself in the foot now.

"Forget it!" Zao Guoquan reached out to help Chen Zaixing: "I said that day that I would give up all the previous things. In fact, you can't blame you completely. Hanjing transferred me to be the Burmese lieutenant, who had the intention of "combining the big and small" between you and me. Now the emperor is still young, and the power is in the hands of the female officials in the palace. They like to use private power to control people the most. You and I are united now!"

When Chen Zaixing heard this, he could only bow to Zao Guoquan and say: "Your mind is open-minded and cannot be achieved by Resurrection!"

"Well, now, the plan is to resurrect. I can only ask you to go back to China and preside over the military transfer. Mr. Wu is your teacher. No one is more suitable for this matter than you."

Chen Zaixing was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Zao Guoquan drove himself back to the country in a few words, but he replied in a low voice: "Sir, obey the order!"

After a while, Chen Zaixing bid farewell. Zao Guoquan sent him to the door and went out to see him off. He turned around and returned until Chen Zaixing walked away. When he walked to the door, he suddenly coughed and followed him without saying a word. When he entered the door, he brought the door with him.

After Zao Guoquan sat back to the desk, he gently stroked his beard under his chin, and was speechless for a while, and he bowed his head and waited quietly without saying a word.

"Qu Duan, do you have anything to say?"

"Sir, there is nothing to say about villains!"

"You have been listening to it at the door for so long, haven't you heard anything?"

"Although the villain heard a lot, the adults have unpredictable opportunities in their hearts, and the villain dared not make any guesses!"

When Zao Guoquan heard Qu Duan's answer, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay, okay! You have finally made progress today. Since I am a magistrate protecting the Burmese, I still have to do things in the final analysis. If I mess up the mission, what's the use of taking power in my hands? I know that Chen Zaixing has a strange intention, and it is not something that a chief minister can control, but as long as he is willing to use it for me and set the situation in Myanmar for me, I can tolerate him and tolerate him. Do you understand?"

"The villain understands that after this, the villain will do things in a solid manner. Follow Lord Changshi, learn more, watch more, and do more. Please rest assured!"

Zao Guoquan nodded and smiled, "That's right, you go down first!"
