Chapter 599: It's really a strange person
Zheng He saw that Duan Yu was a little nervous, nodded and said, "Duan Gongzi is polite, the old man is just ordered to go to the West, what is it?"
Duan Yu saw that Zheng He was becoming more and more polite, and his heart became more and more nervous, and the words he wanted to say became a few handfuls, and while he was anxious, his eyes fell on Yang Zheng and looked at him nervously.
Yang Zheng looked at him both amused and a little annoyed, glared fiercely, turned his head and hugged Zheng He's fist, and said, "This Duan brother has always admired what adults did in the West, and today I am fortunate to see adults who want to listen to them in person to satisfy their curiosity?"
At that time, Zhu Di was able to choose Zheng He from thousands of people as a candidate for going to the West, in addition to Zhu Di himself trusting him very much, the bigger reason is that he is a eunuch, the eunuch has no worries, and it is impossible to have descendants. In addition to these imperial thoughts, it is also because Zheng He himself is a clever and eloquent, quick thinking, eloquent and strong person, good at diplomacy, these years have not used their tongue to persuade Western countries to pay tribute, after Zhu Di's death, the trip to the West was stranded, he was a person who was about to die no one paid attention, and he had long wanted to find someone to talk to, today's Yang Zheng's words made him full of expectations for the future trip to the West, and his heart was happy, but also moved to talk about it.
To say that Zheng He went to the West is really a lot of interesting things, in addition to the well-known Java incident, the ancient monument, the old port capture of Chen Zuyi, the most legendary should be "the abolition of the king of the mountain of Ceylon." ”
The mountain country of Ceylon is a small ancient country in Southeast Asia, it is rumored that Shakyamuni Buddha has been to the country under the pseudonym Sinhala, and was once respected as the king of the country, so it is also called Sinhala. Mount Ceylon is the place where Shakyamuni Buddha preached, and the Buddha's true body, tooth and relics are enshrined in Mount Ceylon, and it is a famous Buddhist resort. Most of the inhabitants are Buddhist and Hindu.
Mount Ceylon is rich in precious stones, spices, and its geographical location is important, serving as a meeting point and transit point for ships from the East and the West.
In the third year of Yongle, Zheng He went to the Ceylon Mountain Temple when he first went to the West. Mount Ceylon Temple is a Buddhist temple, although Zheng He is a Muslim and believes in Islam. But he respected Buddhism, called himself "the official of the Buddha's faith", he had funded the printing of Buddhist scriptures when he was in China, and printed his inscriptions, and distributed them to the major Zen temples in China. When Zheng He went to the West, many officers and soldiers in Zheng He's fleet believed in Buddhism, and the sea navigation was difficult and dangerous, and the officers and soldiers who believed in Buddhism prayed that the Buddha would bless the safe navigation at sea. Therefore, when Zheng He first went to the West, he passed through the Ceylon Mountains and went to the Ceylon Mountain Temple to carry out large-scale Buddhist activities, but unfortunately, in the process of worshipping the Buddha, he learned that the king of the Ceylon Mountains, Alie Kuner, was "stubborn and disrespectful", "and did not make good friends with neighbors, and repeatedly invited and robbed his envoys, and all of them suffered". Zheng He saw that the area around the Ceylon Mountains was the main route for the voyage to the Western Regions, and the geographical location was very important, so he tried to solve the Ceylon Mountain problem in a peaceful way, and the King of the Ceylon Mountains, Allie Kunaer, also agreed to be happy, and Zheng He didn't care, and when he went to the second mission, the problem still existed, seeing that he went to the West on a grand scale, and if he didn't solve these problems, it would be very unfavorable for the next trip to the West, so Zheng He told Zhu Di about the matter after returning to China, and Zhu Di immediately supported Zheng He to solve the Ceylon problem.
In that year, Zheng He was ordered to "go to the Ceylon Mountains again". In March of the seventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, issued an order ordering Zheng He to send a third envoy to the West, and at the same time, he gave Zheng He an edict to overseas countries, which particularly emphasized that "you should only follow the way of heaven, abide by the words, follow reason and divide the peace, do not disobey the widow, do not bully the widow, do not bully the weak." ”
With this will, Zheng He persuaded him with kind words, so that he should not do perverse acts, who knew that Ah Lie Kuner not only ignored Zheng He's persuasion, but also was very arrogant and rude, not only did not accept the proclamation of the great son of tomorrow, but "made his son accept the words and ask for gold and silver treasures", which was rejected by Zheng He.
Seeing the failure of the peace talks, Ah Lie Kun Er simply tore his face, seeing that Zheng He had a lot of treasures on the ship, he shamelessly plotted to rob the treasures of money, food, ships, and ships, intending to murder Zheng He, raising 50,000 soldiers and horses, publishing the book, and dividing troops to rob the sea boat, this news was learned by one of his subordinates, and accidentally leaked out, which aroused Zheng He's vigilance, and immediately returned to the treasure ship, who knew that the waterway along the road was blocked by Ah Lie Kunaer. In the face of such a dangerous situation, Zheng He was not in a hurry, and after learning that Alek Kuner had come out of the nest, he unexpectedly attacked the palace of Alekunaer, and captured the king of Ceylon Mountain, Alekunaer, and his family, and Zheng He won a complete victory.
On the 16th day of June of the 9th year of Yongle, Zheng He returned to Beijing from overseas and offered the captured King of Ceylon Mountain, Alekunaer, and his family. Zhu Di unceremoniously detained Alie Kuner and his family, and then ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose the more virtuous Yebanana as the king among the relatives of Alie Kunaer, and Alie Kunar was also sent back to China at the same time, which can be regarded as a complete solution to the problem of the mountain country of Ceylon, and this matter of the abolition of the king of the mountain of Ceylon has somehow been spread out, and it has long been regarded as a romance among the people, but there are all kinds of sayings, it doesn't sound true, today listening to Zheng He, everyone was surprised, and couldn't help but secretly admire Zheng He's way of using troops, which has to be amazing.
Yang Zheng's heart was also very shocked, these stories had already been rendered very powerful in the film and television in the previous life, but he had never heard or seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't help but have a little less trust in these things, and now listening to Zheng He's story, he found that this interesting story back then was a little more dangerous than what was shown in the film and television in the previous life, if it wasn't for great wisdom, great courage would definitely not be able to do it.
"My lord is really a strange person!" After a long time, Yang Zheng sighed.
Gao Hang, Eldest Lady, and Duan Yu nodded one after another, their expressions extremely solemn.
Zheng He saw everyone like this, his brows jumped slightly, and he looked a little proud, there were three things he was most proud of in his life, the first was in the Jingjing Change, in Zhengzhou, Hebei (now Renqiubei, Hebei) for Zhu Di to make military achievements. The second is in the Nanjing Imperial Study, Zhu Di gave him the surname Zheng with the word "Zheng", renamed He, appointed as the internal official eunuch, the official to the fourth grade, the status is second only to the celebrity, the third is that he is a eunuch, research and analysis of nautical charts, proficient in the art of leading stars across the ocean, familiar with all kinds of Eastern and Western needle books, astronomy and geography, marine science, The knowledge and skills of ship driving and repair, for the Ming Dynasty to create a feat of going to the West, these three proud of the big thing, he most valued the feat of going to the West, so it was talked about, and his heart was inevitably a little more cheesy.
The atmosphere became a lot happier because of Zheng He's interesting stories, Zheng He said some interesting things about the South Seas, and in the end, those dusty women also came over to listen carefully, and couldn't help but exclaim when they heard the thrill, and when they heard the joy, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, and the small courtyard was deeply rendered very lively.
Talking and laughing like this, the sun has turned westward, and everyone is still unsatisfied.
At this moment, the handlebar walked in, and said a few words softly to Zheng He, Zheng He nodded and stood up, hugged his fists and said to Yang Zheng: "Little brother, thanks to your words today, if he can go to the West again, he will come to thank you?"
Yang Zheng hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency is polite, the merit of going to the West is in Sheji, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty is feasible except for adults, I just told a few words of truth, what is it?"
Zheng He nodded and said, "The little brother is young and has extraordinary knowledge, and it is rare to be so modest, if he has free time in the future, he will come to Mafu to talk to the old man?"
Yang Zheng said: "Certainly, definitely!"
Zheng He didn't say anything more and walked out of the courtyard deeply, and the handlebar outside the door had already driven the restored carriage over, and when Zheng He got into the carriage, he immediately drove the carriage away.
Looking at the carriage in the distance, Yang Zheng came back to his senses, he didn't expect to see the famous Zheng He today, I have to say that this is a big gain, I reminisced about the scene just now, I only heard Duan Yu's "oops", and said: "We patronized and talked, but we forgot the hour, you look at the sky?"
Gao Hang glanced outside the door, then looked at the women who were fat and thin, and said in his heart: "Not only did you forget the time, how can you remember this garden full of spring?"
After Duan Yu's cheers, Yang Zheng remembered that the purpose of coming today was to feel the Qinglou culture on the banks of the Qinhuai River, who knew that the time had passed so quickly.
Duan Yu glanced at the eldest lady, timidly walked up to Yang Zheng, gently tugged on his sleeve, took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Should we go back like this?"
"This, this?" Yang Zheng glanced at the eldest lady a little nervously, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
The eldest lady snorted when she saw it, and said, "You men don't have a good thing! I want to look at it twice after taking a look, why do you want to stay and not leave now?" After speaking, she glared at Yang Zheng fiercely.
Yang Zheng sweated profusely, smiled and hurriedly walked over, took the eldest lady's little hand, and said: "I'm afraid that the eldest lady has said something about it, I can take one look, I won't look at it a second time, I want to go back, I'll go!"
