Part 4 The Journey Chapter 185 - Hot Rain Yangon (3)
At this, Xiao Ruhai looked at the vast territory with a look like a Buddha statue, and slowly opened down, the reincarnation here has just begun, please go to Wacheng to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and Kuang Fugongbang Dynasty is Zhengshuo. ”
Jiang Kuo said indifferently: "My wish has been fulfilled, my heart is tired, and I really don't want to continue to devote myself to this complicated world......"
Xiao Ruhai frowned, and suddenly said in an aggravated tone: "Thirty years ago, His Royal Highness gave up the practice of being born in the world, resolutely took off his monk's robe, and walked the way to enter the world for the country and the people. Now that the Myanmar realm is newly restored, all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, and it is urgent for His Highness to control and reorganize it, and the sky is hopeful, and the people's hearts are wanted, and not His Highness's personal mood can be transferred. The former king of the tin robe was unkind, and killed innocents indiscriminately for his own selfish desires, so that Yingyi took advantage of the situation and swallowed up the whole of Burma. Could it be that His Highness also wants to emulate this fallen monarch and disregard this thousands of miles of great country and millions of Burmese subjects for selfish desires? ”
Jiang Kuo sighed lightly: "Is there really a need for this lost Gongbang Dynasty to exist?" ”
Xiao Ruhai waved his hand again and again: "No, the king of the tin robe is to blame, he has been deposed by the British, and the Zhengshuo of the Gongbang Dynasty naturally belongs to His Royal Highness, who is the eldest grandson of the king of Mindong." Your Highness, you have been fighting for the recovery of Myanmar for 30 years, and it is too late for the people to wholeheartedly support the Gongbang Dynasty that you have personally restored, Your Highness. ”
Speaking of this, the words suddenly changed: "Is Your Highness doubting the sincerity of my East Asian coalition forces to liberate Burma?" ”
Jiang Kuo nodded with his palms together and said: "Of course not, for this just Asia-Pacific Liberation War, I and all my colleagues wholeheartedly support it, and we all hope for the coming of the most decisive victory......"
Xiao Ruhai eased slightly: "It's good to support it, please Your Highness must trust my Celestial Empire and understand the true meaning of my empire's royal righteousness." We will never do the despicable thing of colonization under the banner of liberation! ”
After a pause, he raised his head slightly, and announced in a grateful tone: "It is my great honor to inform Your Highness that yesterday the Imperial Wartime Cabinet passed a resolution to hand over to the Provisional Government of the Kingdom of Burma all the property of the British colonial administration in Burma after the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Kingdom of Burma, and to assist in the establishment of the Central Bank of Burma and the issuance of Burma's own currency. In addition, it will assist in equipping and training the future Royal Burmese Army and help build a certain size of air and naval ......"
The rain is still falling. The hot and humid air inevitably caused physical discomfort, but at this time, Xiao Ruhai's mood was unusually clear, as he saw that His Royal Highness the Prince, who always wore a mask of stoic calm, finally showed a rare sincere smile.
A week later, on June 2, 1915, the Wacheng (Mandalay) Palace, which had been deserted for 30 years, was lively again, with red hanging colors everywhere, monks chanting sutras and praying, elephants dancing to celebrate, and surrounded by veterans in the pure black uniforms of the Chinese Janissaries, Prince Kuo of Xinjiang wore a pagoda-style crown and wore a traditional royal dress with red and green inlaid gold and treasures and entered the imperial city at the east gate. Thirty years ago. The family of the King of Xipao, who surrendered to the British invading army, was escorted out of the imperial city from the east gate and exiled to India. Jiang Kuo deliberately chose the east gate to enter the palace, which can be described as a shame.
On this day, Jiang Kuo ascended the throne as the sixth king of the Gongbang Dynasty of Burma, and on the day of his accession, he announced that he would follow the example of the "Oriental Royal Civilization" to implement the "Preparatory Constitution", and temporarily implement the responsible cabinet system before the end of the war, and appointed the former deputy commander of Myanmar Aung Ku as the prime minister, responsible for the formation of the cabinet, and the original "Myanmar Fu**" was reorganized into the "Royal Army of Myanmar" and personally served as the commander-in-chief.
Over the next two days, China, Japan, Siam, and Vietnam announced their recognition of the "independent kingdom of Burma" on June 5. The new government of the Kingdom of Burma, which had been established for only three days, declared war on Britain and became the eighth independent state in the Allied bloc.
At a time when the whole country of Myanmar was celebrating, Xiao Ruhai couldn't be happy.
On the eve of Jiang Kuo's accession to the throne, the British and Indian troops on the Indo-Burmese border suddenly launched a large-scale counteroffensive. The advance detachment of the 79th Army of the Chinese Army, which had been fighting hard for days and running out of supplies, was driven out of Demu, Dongzan, and Geli
