Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Journey to the South Seas (8)

"The Tao rushes to use it, or it does not make a profit. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info is like the sect of all things. Frustrate its sharpness, solve its disputes, and its light, with its dust, like or exist. I don't know whose son it is, like the emperor's first" When the entrance view sounded again, the outside of the entrance was already in chaos.

The lessons of countless examples in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, are telling us not to play with fire. Because arson is easy, fire extinguishing is difficult, playing with fire will self-immolation!

What's more, the flame that Lichen threw out was no longer the ordinary flame that it was at the beginning.

If someone dares to stand on the roof of the Sanqing Hall of Xuanguang Temple and look east, they will definitely see not only thick black smoke, but also a raging fire.

In this era when the productive forces are not developed, and the indigenous people have not yet fully occupied the overall political and military advantages, and they cannot rob the Chinese as they want and kill them whenever they want, in this era when there is no large number of heavenly gods Allah because of the black gold under their feet to become a country of local tyrants, although there are many mosques in Java, most of them are still only wooden buildings. (It is said that a certain country is donating to build a temple in a certain country, it is really difficult to know the intentions!) οΌ‰

In this era, the Chinese and the indigenous people were not likely to mix together, and they were very separated from each other. The place where there is a temple of the gods is naturally a place where indigenous parishioners who believe in the gods live.

The dust pipe is killed or buried, and after a flame is thrown out, it is ignored. Pity a large group of natives who were burned by the flying fire outside the sky and cried and grabbed the ground, and the dead and injured were in disarray!

The fire first started on the roof of one of the largest temples in the city, and then went out of control. The raging flames not only engulfed the temple of the natives, but also spread rapidly to the surrounding houses. Countless pious natives desperately tried to put out the fire. But the truth tells them that those who do not believe in the gods will not necessarily go to Hellfire. And those who believe in the gods may fall into the fire.

Dusty flames cannot be extinguished by water and sand. As the fire grew bigger and bigger, countless believers who tried to put out the fire died in the hell on earth, and the helpless natives watched the fire begin to spread wildly, bigger and fiercer. Coupled with the perennial sea breeze, the wind fuels the fire, constantly devouring the homes of one family after another, and the lives of one after another. The natives were in chaos and cried.

When Hell descended, the natives finally learned that Hell was not the preserve of Kafir.

Because of their business and trade, most of the Chinese live by the sea, which means that the Chinese are safe for the time being. And the natives are unlucky, not to mention the fire, even the billowing smoke can make their lives worse than death.

His arsenic, my honey. The blazing firelight made the natives who usually flaunt their martial arts sad, and at the same time, it also made many Chinese secretly happy.

But there are no absolutes, some people are happy, and naturally some people are sad. And not for the Chinese sorrow, but for the tragic experience of the natives to weep.

At least the few old Chinese who are now sitting on the futon opposite the dust are like this.

The fire in the city is getting more and more intense, but the Chinese upper class in the city has also begun a new round of worry. Some people began to secretly connect with themselves to protect themselves, after all, every time the natives have three disasters and nine difficulties, they have to find a Chinese who are good to bully to make up for it. And rightly so, it seems that all the disasters are the fault of the Chinese.

But there are also people who are resolutely opposed, and instead hope to avoid disasters and avoid disasters, not to provoke conflicts, and live long life for everyone to live harmony. If there is a conflict with the natives because of money, it will inevitably cause a catastrophe.

They advocate peace of mind!

It has to be said that there is a Virgin in every era. In particular, some Chinese upper-class people have a natural habit of being willing to wronged their own people and be kind to other races and countries.

"There is a fire in the city, countless dead and wounded, and those natives whisper miserably, I am afraid that there will be chaos. We want to raise some money and materials to help them rebuild their homes so that they can avoid disasters and everyone can live together in harmony. It's just that now everyone has different opinions, and Guiguan has been here for many years, and there are many edifications, so I waited to come, hoping that Guiguan will value harmony and persuade everyone to be benevolent and virtuous, and not to stick to past grudges, so that disasters will arise again. I don't know what your opinion is? A pot-bellied wealthy Chinese businessman persuaded him to the dust.

"Celestial God Cultist, the indigenous people are not enough to deceive our Chinese, and now that others are suffering, we still have to take the initiative to help?" Lichen looked at the few guys in front of him, and really wondered where their "Holy Mother" mentality came from. There should be no universal values in this era, right?

"I Chinese sojourn here, naturally we have to respect the owner of this place, and now the local people are in great trouble, is not the time to declare the harmony of the neighborhood. A gentleman should repay his grievances with virtue. And if the local people are grateful for the virtues of our Chinese, they will naturally live in harmony with us in the future! A thin old man with a white beard looked at the dust and said bitterly to Xupingzi.

"Repaying grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" Lichen didn't speak, and Xu Pingzi couldn't help it first. It's not that Xu Pingzi thinks that this old man's words are wrong, but when his Taoist temple was almost wiped out just now, he didn't see these people come out, and now the natives are suffering from the fire, but they immediately come to ask for harmony and benevolence.

There is no distinction between inside and outside, it is strange to make Xupingzi have a good face!

"Immeasurable Tianzun, the rice is the grace, and the rice is the enemy. If you do this, you can only feel weak and deceitful. If you are concerned about indigenous harassment, you don't have to. There is a poor road here, so naturally everyone should be kept safe and sound," Lichen waved his hand.

"Dao Chief, what do you take to ensure that we are safe and sound, you must know that the local people are powerful, and they are barbaric by nature, if there is a conflict together, it will inevitably be ruined, Dao Chang is a family member, and he is compassionate, how can he bear it in his heart when the time comes?" Immediately, another person retorted.

"Taiyi Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" The dust made a noise, and suddenly took out a handful of soybeans and threw them in front of the main hall, and a burst of white smoke floated up and then the golden light shone. A group of dozens of gold-armored generals appeared in front of the main hall.

A few wealthy Chinese businessmen are not comparable to the rich landowners in the countryside of the Ming Dynasty, who have been dealing with maritime trade all the year round, and when they were young, they may have traveled from south to north, and they were really blind to such a family business when they went to sea, and they also boasted of being well-informed. But when dozens of majestic generals suddenly appeared in front of him, he still opened his mouth wide in shock, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Scattering beans into soldiers is an immortal spell, a legendary existence. As long as you are Chinese, even if you are overseas, you will not have heard of these myths and legends.

But the story and the real appearance in front of you are naturally another matter.

"Immortal, immortal master, small, small people no, I don't know if the immortal is coming, many, how offensive, also, look at Haihan!" A few wealthy Chinese businessmen are also big names in this land, otherwise it would not be their turn to become representatives and negotiate for the entrance view on behalf of a part of the Chinese upper class. It's just that now, I can't even speak.

"Yes, yes, yes! Immortal Chang is coming, we are more offended, and I hope that Immortal Chang Haihan! With the first one, the rest of the people immediately reacted, and they didn't dare to take it big for a while, and they fell to the ground one after another. It's much more serious than being pious to the gods.

"It's a small technique, it can't be called an immortal! My Taoist has been circulating for thousands of years, and naturally there is a way to protect myself. When you know the way of China, it is comparable to the teachings that are only satisfactory. The poor road is only a few years of cultivation in the mountains. If the aborigines rise up and bully my Chinese, as a Chinese Miao descendant, Poor Dao should naturally protect everyone. The dust was lightly promised.

"Everything is up to the immortal chief, and I don't dare to disobey," a few wealthy Chinese businessmen replied with sincere fear.

"However, whether the immortal chief is resident here, or is it a wanderer, if... The old guy in front of him who shouted to repay his grievances with virtue obviously didn't mention any harmonious coexistence now, and his eyes secretly glanced back at the gold-armored soldier behind him, and asked with some confidence.

"Tianxingjian, a gentleman should strive for self-improvement. People should help themselves, and God will help them. There must be a lot of young people of Chinese descent in the city! If you can also attract strong men from nearby villages to come, there should be no less than 5,000 people, everyone has a lot of wealth, and perennial sea trade, how easy is it to put together an army? Besides, you have been trading with maritime merchants all year round, so you don't know who those maritime merchants are. With their help, why be afraid of the natives? Lichen replied.

"Ahh Several wealthy Chinese businessmen were stunned.

This is a naked incitement to rebellion! If you are so rebellious, if you want to change it to Daming, ten heads are not enough to cut off!

"Poor Dao should ensure that you are safe and sound for three months, and after three months, it is up to you. When you know Yidi beasts, don't be gullible, ask for a bucket today, ask for a stone tomorrow, day after day, year after year, even if you are willing to blackmail, are you not afraid that one day, the local people think that a little coercion and temptation is not as fast as killing and robbing? Lichen asked in a deep voice.

"Native people, jackals, don't do anything. If you don't plan early, you know the consequences. Needless poverty is unpredictable! A few of them went back and thought about what to do, and then they consulted with the others. After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and never spoke again.

Several wealthy Chinese businessmen were silent for a long time, and after a few whispered discussions with each other, they finally couldn't make up their minds. He could only kowtow to the dust again and said: "Immortal Chief's guidance, I don't dare to disobey." But this matter is very big, and if we and a few others can make a decision, please ask the immortal chief to be gracious and allow me to go back and discuss it, how about it?

Lichen naturally knew that things had changed too much, and which rebellious business was not gambling with the lives of the whole family, and it was indeed not something that the few families in front of him could decide. He immediately nodded and said, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" In that case, then you should consider it yourself, and the decision of the poor road to wait for a few people again is "

After finishing speaking, he commanded Xupingzi and said, "Xupingzi, send a few good fortunes." ”

Xu Pingzi hurriedly got up and sent the few gold owners in front of him out. When he walked to the entrance gate, he bowed and said, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" A few are located in my entrance, and the view is also considered to be old acquaintances. Therefore, the poor road also has a gift: My master is just traveling here, and the local Chinese should not hinder the master's practice. It's just that the master respects the deep tomorrow machine, and the Tao is mysterious. Since it is indicated, please do not ignore it. When you know that you can't miss the opportunity, you won't come again. If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it! ”

I have to say that Xupingzi's assist is amazing. directly hit the hearts of several people.

What is the most feared rebellion? Isn't the most feared thing about failure?

But the success of the rebellion is undoubtedly the most profitable business in the world. At that time, LΓΌ Buwei was a strange thing to live in, which businessman did not envy.

People in the world want to have money, and when they have money, they naturally want power. In this day and age, having money is naturally not as good as power.

And naturally it is the guidance of the immortals, and it is naturally the destiny of heaven, and there is almost no possibility of failure.

You must know that for thousands of years, the most famous thing in Taoism is not the Yishu hexagram in addition to immortality?

Could it be that the immortals could still miscalculate the destiny of heaven?

Several wealthy Chinese businessmen figured out what was going on, and immediately their faces turned red with excitement, and their whole bodies trembled a little and they couldn't bear it. He immediately took his leave with great gratitude, and was eager to fly home at once to gather his people to discuss first.

Although it is only a small country, it is not much bigger than the Ming Dynasty (I have to say that the development rate of Java in this era is low, and many places are tropical jungles and no one lives. So the real Javanese state does not control the territory very much). But it's also a country!

From now on, the fate is in your own hands, and you will no longer be free from the bird's spirit of the natives, is there a more attractive prospect than this?

"Master, if the Chinese here become bigger, I am afraid that they will not obey the control of the Ming Dynasty in the future! When the time comes, how is it good to in the same room? After Xu Pingzi turned around, he retreated from everyone and asked in a low voice.

"The territory of the Ming Dynasty is sufficient, and the land of Annan is still uncontrollable, not to mention this enclave thousands of miles away. The country is too far away, it is only suitable to be divided, not suitable for counties, you can rest assured. Zhu Zaikai will understand. Lichen said disappreciatively.

Before the advent of the Industrial Revolution, there was no limit to the boundaries of any empire. It may be related to the terrain, it may be related to traffic. But Daming is indeed not suitable for direct jurisdiction. Even in later generations, the transmission of information was so fast, and the projection of materials and troops was so easy, it was rare for that country to be able to control an enclave thousands of miles away. And even more so now?

In fact, compared with Daming, Lichen cares more about the interests of the whole of Huaxia. As long as this place can be occupied by the people of China, even if this country becomes strong, what if it is ruthless with the Ming Dynasty?

If you want to say that Europe in the future will be most indebted? Nothing more than two teeth and the United Kingdom. Although the interests of the colonies were occupied by these so-called world states. But it doesn't open up new space for whites across Europe.

Isn't it related to the fact that white people in later generations can firmly occupy the leading position in the world?

Just as Xiao Chen was thinking carefully about his own arrangements, a little Taoist boy suddenly ran over and saluted: "Ancestor, the wife of the shameless Master Ma is crying with a large group of women, saying that the ancestor wants to kill his master!" ”
