    Five days later, in the same place - in this conference room on the fifth floor of the Houde Bank headquarters, the Dashun Shanghai Textile Industry Products and Raw Cotton Purchasing Alliance was established. This alliance, which was initially just to regulate prices and reduce competition, soon  It formed a terrifying giant.  The great Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov commented on this huge organization that has left an unparalleled impact on Dashun and even the history of East Asia: "Just like the growth of plants in low latitudes,  The growth rate is much faster than that of its counterparts at higher latitudes. In China, a country with highly developed small-scale production methods, capitalism has also developed very fast. In just a few decades, it has gone through the United Kingdom,  It took the French and even the Russians hundreds of years to go through the process of transcending the stage of liberal capitalism and entering monopoly capitalism. For these capitalists who already control prices, markets, raw materials and even the entire society, this ancient empire.  Their shells are already a little narrow compared to their burly bodies, and now they are only one step away from their ultimate goal-to turn the entire country into a huge limited liability company and let the entire nation bleed for their profits.  At the same time, it is also the final step towards socialism. This great Eastern nation will be reborn in this devastating world war and gain true freedom."  When Bunji returned to Mandalay, it was already October 1891, the rainy season had ended, and Myanmar had entered the cool season¡ªthe last season of the year.  The air is no longer as humid as it was more than a month ago, making people feel sticky all the time. For most Europeans from mid-to-high latitudes, this is the season when they feel most comfortable, O'Neill.  Bunge is no exception.  But the most important reason that made him happy was not the weather and the smooth process of visiting the rubber plantation, but another reason - a very personal reason.  There is a secret hidden in his heart. When he thinks of this secret, he can't help but want to jump to a paragraph. Yes, all this is because of Eyudelina Ivanovna Trubetskaya,  This wonderful person, this beauty who took away her soul five years ago, as long as she completes her affairs in Burma, she can jump on the first ship to St. Petersburg and throw herself on her knees. This time  But there will no longer be any captain of the Semyonov Regiment to hinder us.  "But before all this, the rubber plantation must be settled, and the reliquary box must be obtained as quietly as possible!" O'Neil.  Bangji said to himself in his heart that he knew very well how smart this guy Chen Zaixing was. There was no doubt that if he showed too much enthusiasm for this relic box, the other party would not hesitate to take advantage of his weakness. For this  A little, O'Neil.  Bungie had no doubts.  Yes, O'Neil.  Bunge is happy, at least at this moment. This socialist, young millionaire is so passionately in love with his blond angel and looking forward to his future happiness that he enters Manchuria.  When Dele asked to meet Chen Zaixing, he didn't notice anything strange.  "Dear O'Neil. Mr. Bunge, please forgive me, Mr. Chen cannot meet with you tomorrow!" A Chinese man in a suit said in an impeccable and soft voice.  "If it can't be tomorrow, let's do it the day after tomorrow!" O'Neil.  Bunji shrugged his shoulders and thought to himself: "This cunning Asian is playing those little tricks again. I guess he is showing that he is not so enthusiastic about this cooperation, so that he can obtain greater benefits in the subsequent negotiations."  A piece of profit, these capitalists are always so greedy!" "No, not tomorrow, Mr. O'Neil!" It's still the same soft voice, but the content is not so pleasant.  "Not even the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?" O'Neil.  Bunji became a little anxious, not because he was impatient, but mainly because he didn't want to delay his journey to St. Petersburg to find love.  "No way, O'Neil. Mr. Bunge!" "No way? Well, please tell me when it can be done? How long do I have to wait? Mr. Chen, is he sick? Or is he not in Mandalay?"  O'Neil.  Bunji couldn't help but raise his voice.  "O'Neil. Mr. Bunge, I'm sorry. I can't give you an exact time now, nor can I answer your questions. I can only tell you that Mr. Chen has been delayed by a very important matter and cannot be with you in a short time.  Talk. But Mr. Chen has told me that you are his most important guest, and all your wishes must be fulfilled while you are waiting." The Chinese bowed gracefully and patted me.  With a gesture of his hand, two Burmese girls, who were only sixteen years old at most, walked out from behind him. Their gold necklaces, bracelets, and hairbands shone golden in the sun, just like their youth and beauty.  "This is a personal gift from Mr. Chen to you. He sincerely expresses his gratitude to you."?Apologies for your time!  " "No need!  "O'Neil. Bunji's face became cold: "You can report it to your master after you go back, O'Neil.  Bungie neither gives people as gifts nor accepts such gifts.  I will wait for him until he has time to see me!  " Turn the time back to seven days ago, Maung Kee Residence in Mandalay. " Wu Maung Kee, we can't go on like this. Her Majesty the Princess has become a prisoner of the Chinese. Those Chinese are sucking the blood of the kingdom. We  Action must be taken!  "    "let's move?  "There was a wry smile on Maung Ji's face. Three years have left a lot of wrinkles on his face, and the hair on his temples has also become a little gray. However, this did not make him look old, but added to his appearance.  "I don't quite understand what you mean. Are you planning to rebel?"  "Maung Ji asked with a wry smile: "The new army is loyal to the royal family. There is also Dashun's garrison in Ren'anqiang. Chen Zaixing also has mercenaries. He is the husband of Her Majesty the eldest princess, and he also has the title of righteousness.  The people over there will not stand on your side.  give up!  No chance of winning!  " "Of course not directly!  A sly smile appeared on the noble's face: "The eldest princess is a woman. She was only a temporary regent when His Majesty the King was underage, and now the King is an adult."  U Maung Kee, don't you think it's time for a new king to take the throne?  "At this point, he paused for a while and continued: "Chen Zaixing is no longer an official of Dashun. As long as the Kingdom of Myanmar continues to regard Dashun as its suzerainty, the interests of Dashun will not be harmed and the new king will not be enthroned.  It will be opposed by Dashun, and the troops stationed in Ren'anqiang will not interfere. The new army is also loyal to the royal family, and the people will support it. What can the more than a thousand mercenaries in Chen Zaixing's hands do?  " Maung Kee did not answer immediately, but frowned in thought. Seeing that the other party did not object immediately, the nobleman who spoke showed an eager look on his face. Although Maung Kee has been dismissed from the position of Privy Council Counselor, due to his steady character  He is still one of the main executors of the policy of freeing peasants and granting land. He enjoys considerable popularity both among the people and aristocratic monks. Without his support, it is unimaginable to successfully instigate the new king to the throne.  "No, I refuse your invitation!  "Maung Ji finally spoke, and his answer made the nobles' expressions change greatly. The noble who just opened his mouth to persuade hurriedly asked: "Why?  Wu Maung Kee, as a noble, shouldn't he be loyal to the royal family and let the orthodox heir ascend the throne?  " "Yes, but is your behavior loyal to the royal family?  Maung Kyi asked back: "In my opinion, you are provoking infighting in the royal family and profiting from it!"  " "How can you say that!  The noble's face immediately became fierce: "Her Majesty, the eldest princess, has been deceived by Chen Zaixing. Isn't it the noble's responsibility to let the orthodox heir ascend the throne?"  What does it mean to provoke infighting in the royal family?  Having said this, U Maung Kyi, are you still a Burmese?  " "Her Majesty the eldest princess is Chen Zaixing's wife. They naturally have a close relationship, but this does not mean that her majesty the eldest princess has no brains!  "Song Shen replied in a deep voice: "Yes, Chen Zaixing made a lot of money in Myanmar, but at the same time he also did a lot of things, including the Machinery Bureau, Gunpowder Factory, Repair Factory in Mandalay, and the establishment of a new army.  The dividends received from Shunhua Company amount to no less than 200,000 taels of silver per year, and after the construction of the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway, the kingdom's security will be greater guaranteed, and these are all inseparable from him.  We must face the reality, for the kingdom, the British are more fierce and direct enemies!  If, as you said, the new king ascends the throne and drives Chen Zaixing away, can the inexperienced new king do all this well?  He'll just mess it all up!  Everyone, now is not the time for our internal fighting. What the kingdom needs is to cultivate health, cultivate talents, and build our own army. Being strong is fundamental!  " After listening to Maung Kyi's words, the nobles' faces became gloomy. The leader said: "I can't believe you are this kind of person, Maung Kyi. If I follow what you said, even if Myanmar becomes stronger, wouldn't it be possible?  Is that still Myanmar?  After the Yunnan-Burma Railway is repaired, Myanmar will only become a Chinese colony.  Myanmar wants to develop and become strong, but it must be a kingdom of Myanmar under the rule of nobles, monks, and orthodox kings, not the Myanmar you mentioned.  At this point, the nobles stood up and whispered: "Farewell!"  " Maung Ji also stood up. He looked at the nobles walking out with livid faces. He didn't know what to say for a moment. After the conversation just now, he understood that there was already a relationship between him and these nobles.  Although these nobles say they are for the future of Myanmar, deep down they are doing it for the selfish interests of their own small group. If their plan really succeeds and the king ascends the throne, they will definitely support the king.  ?The fundamental hero regarded himself as the hero, occupying all the important positions and lucrative positions around the king, squeezing out the small group of skilled bureaucrats who had been cultivated with great difficulty, and even reversed the course of history, turning land and farmers into the private property of the nobility again.  The result will inevitably be to provoke greater riots, attract the covetousness of foreign enemies, and finally lead to the partition of the kingdom.  This is something Maung Kyi would rather die than see.  In comparison, although Chen Zaixing is greedy, objectively he has enhanced Myanmar's national power and strengthened the relationship between Myanmar and Dashun. In this world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong, the kingdom of Myanmar cannot survive without Dashun's protection.  , after all, compared to Westerners, Dashun was much more generous to his vassal countries.  Thank you book friend trainee police officer for your reward. I hope I can get a perfect attendance award next month!
