Chapter 1015 The Wind Doesn't Stop

"You should only look at the way of heaven, abide by my words, follow reason, do not disobey, do not bully widows, do not bully the weak......"

On the main hall of Ceylon, Zheng He announced the decree loudly, and the king of Ceylon, Alekuner, avoided his seat and listened to the decree with hundreds of civil and military officials, and the interpreter whispered on the side, translating the holy decree read by Zheng He to him sentence by sentence. , Alekunar listened to the Ming Emperor's warnings, and was awe-inspiring, and couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, but because he had already calculated, he couldn't bear it.

Zheng He's voice was loud, and because he had to wait for the interpreter to translate his words, he spoke more slowly, and paused for a moment: "I give the king of Ceylon gold weaving Wenqi, gold embroidered dragon clothes, gold curtains, and umbrella covers, as a sign of grace......"

"Minister, Your Majesty Emperor Xie Daming!"

After listening to Zheng He's decree, Alekuner accepted the decree loudly, took the decree from Zheng He's hands with both hands, handed it to the minister to collect, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang is glad to hear that the angels are coming from afar, and he is so happy that he has ordered a large banquet to entertain the angels. Now the feast is still in preparation, angels, please go to the king's garden and sit down! ”

Alekunar said, and gave his son Prince Senak a look, Senak understood, and quietly escaped from the palace when Zheng He followed his father to the harem, outside the palace, there were already five hundred soldiers waiting here, about four hundred cavalry, and nearly a hundred elephant soldiers, Senak turned over his horse, and gave an order, and rushed to the port.

Ceylon is one of the very rich and powerful countries in this area, and it is far away from the Ming Dynasty, and he does not put the Ming Dynasty in his eyes, because his country is rich and has a long heritage, and he does not care about Zhu Di's reward, Zhu Di rewarded him with nothing more than gold woven Wenqi, gold embroidered dragon clothes, gold curtains, Huangluo umbrella covers and other ceremonial utensils, how can he put it in his eyes?

This place is far away from Chen Zuyi's Bolin State, both of them are tyrants, notorious in the surrounding countries, and they are equally greedy, and there is no conflict of interest between them, so they have always had a good relationship. Chen Zuyi was captured, and some of the remnants fled with their lives, and they had the intention of avenging Chen Zuyi, so they ran to Ceylon and slandered Alekuner, telling him how the Chinese envoy relied on the strength of the army and how he was flying and domineering.

They knew that this alone did not necessarily impress Alecuna, and they knew that he was greedy, and they also told him how many precious goods the envoys of the Ming Kingdom had come to trade with the West, and that Chinese musk, silk, silk, porcelain, copper coins, camphor, and other goods were all extremely popular and sought-after goods in the country. ，

The purpose of Chen Zuyi's remnants was to instigate Alekuner to attack the Ming fleet, because they fled in a hurry, they did not know that Chen Zuyi was still alive, and they were imprisoned on the ship, otherwise they would inevitably be poisoned. Although Alekuner was not in awe of the Ming in his heart, he also knew that the strength of the Ming was indeed above him, and he did not want to wipe out the Ming fleet.

He was very moved by the many properties that Chen Zuyi Yu said about the party, and he was stingy, and he was reluctant to buy gold, silver and jewelry, so he deliberately stayed Zheng He and sent his son to the dock to defraud the goods, only saying that Zheng He was rewarded on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the goods were in hand, Zheng He turned around and heard the truth, and he was not afraid that he would ask for it, this is his own territory, he suffered this dumb loss, what can he do?

At this time, his son Senak was instructed by his father to defraud the goods.

In the lion park, several male lions were lazily walking around the park, and suddenly there was a miserable cry from above.

The lions raised their heads and looked at the garden wall built by the boulders, and a beautiful woman dressed in a short shirt and colorful clothes, with her abdominal muscles and calves exposed, her bare feet, and brass bells tied to her ankles were terrified, and her face was full of tears, and she was pleading bitterly on the garden wall. On the left and right, two court warriors wearing shoulders, shirtless, turbans decorated with feathers, fat shorts, and also barefoot, with swords hanging from their sides, were firmly holding her arms.

"Please, my lord, spare me!"

A palace military attache said violently: "If you offend the king, do you still want to live?" Drop her! ”

"Ask for ...... Yes! ”

The girl screamed, she was thrown off the platform, fell to the ground, she broke a leg, and before she could escape for her life, the lions who had been waiting for a long time had rushed up, and the girl was immediately drowned under the lions, and after a few screams, she was silent.

The military attache stood on the garden wall, looked down, smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand, and said, "Go!" ”

There are few exotic flowers and plants in the royal garden of Alecunaer, but there are many tigers, leopards, lions and elephants, each of which is no less than a hundred. He was brutal by nature, and if the officials and people were offended at all, they would be executed, because he raised too many beasts, so all other punishments were simply omitted and fed to the lion and tiger.

This maid was to fan Alekunal, because she dozed off while Alekunar was asleep, and she was buried in the belly of the beast.

After dealing with the palace maid for only a pillar of incense, Alekuna led Zheng He to walk slowly.

"Hehe, this king has one hundred and twenty-two tigers, one hundred and twenty-seven lions, and two hundred leopards...... Hmm, how many? ”

Alekunar smiled and introduced to Zheng He, Zheng He was moved when he heard this: "Just to raise these many fierce beasts, you need a lot of flesh and bones to feed them every day, right?" ”

Alekuner smiled triumphantly: "My country is rich, and it is nothing to spend tens of millions of catties of meat every day. ”

Zheng He just smiled faintly when he heard this.

Leaning over the platform, Zheng He looked into the lion garden, the lions had dispersed, and there was only a pool of blood left where the girl fell.

Her whole being had been torn to pieces by lions, some of whom had bloody pieces of flesh in their mouths, and were eating in the corners, and at first glance, who knew that there had just been a lively maiden who had been feasted on the lion's kiss.

Zheng He's eyes were very sharp, he originally wanted to appreciate the majestic posture of the lion and tiger, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a bloody fragment of clothing on the grass, and Ding Qing looked at it again, not far away, a blood-stained foot bell was faintly shining in the sun. Zheng He was slightly stunned, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

When Alekuner saw Zheng He leaning over to look at the garden, an inexplicable impulse suddenly surged in his heart: "If I push ...... like this, Zheng He will die, the dragons will be leaderless, and his fleet will not be at my mercy?" Didn't the minister who went to greet him say that his fleet of more than 500 ships had only more than 100 warships? The remaining more than 400 ships are all treasures! I will become the richest king in the world! But Da Ming ......"

Alekunaer's heart was eager to try, but the hand didn't dare to stretch out after all.

Zheng He turned his head and said lightly: "Ben Qincha has never been interested in jackals, tigers and leopards, but I heard that your country's tea is very famous in the Nanyang area, and I want to taste it." ”

Ceylon was a vast land with a rich people, and although this generation of kings was a tyrant and often robbed the merchant ships of the past, the trade was somewhat depressed compared to the previous ones, but the trade was still very prosperous compared to other South Seas countries.

At the Beloli Wharf, you can see the locals doing business with shirtless and fat pants everywhere, and there are many businessmen coming from the south to the north, Xia Xun and Su Ying and Tang Sai'er, who was finally released from confinement, walked to see all kinds of business travelers, among which only the characteristics of clothing and accessories can make him identify where they come from, only businessmen from India.

There are also many cows walking leisurely in the crowd, and this place worships Buddhism and respects elephant cows, so this is a paradise for cows. They only eat milk, they dare not eat beef, and if the cow dies, they can only bury it, and those who slaughter it privately will be immediately put to death, so the cow is more noble than a man here.

Many merchants have landed and started trading with the locals.

Gems and pearls are placed on the stall to sell, it is more difficult to find fakes than real goods these years, Tang Sai'er has gradually grown into a big girl, and gradually awakened the talent of beauty, Xia Xun saw that her eyes stayed on a plate of full, one-sized pearl necklaces for a long time, couldn't help but smile slightly, walked over and asked: "How much is this plate of beads?" ”

After the translation was finished, the owner chewed the betel nut and looked at Xia Xun for a while, then carefully looked at his clothes and bearing, and said slyly: "No, I don't want money, if you like this necklace, then exchange it for porcelain." ”

The porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, the inferior quality is also worth more than 100 times in this place, and such a plate of high-grade pearls is not worth even ten times here, if these two goods are taken back to the Ming Dynasty, then their prices will have to be reversed, this is the wonder of trade.

Xia Xun knew that he wanted to take advantage of himself, and couldn't help laughing: "It's okay to exchange it for porcelain, but look at me, do you look like I'm carrying a bunch of porcelain?" ”

The greedy light in the eyes of the owner of the goods immediately appeared, and he spit out the betel nut with a mouthful, grinned, and showed a mouthful of black teeth and smiled: "It doesn't matter, this place is not far from the port, I can go with you to pick it up." ”

"Hmmm......"

Xia Xun thought about it, turned his head to look at Tang Sai'er, Tang Sai'er's eyes had already drifted to the side, as if he didn't care about this chain, Xia Xun smiled, and said: "Okay, come with me, this piece, this, these things are wrapped, I want them all!" ”

On the side, Tang Sai'er tried hard to keep his face calm, but his eyebrows and eyes, even the corners of his mouth were unconsciously upturned.

At the dock, the waves lap on the embankment, and the battleships gently rise and fall.

Xia Xun held a high-grade porcelain plate as thin as a chime, moist as jade, white as fat, blue and white flowers, and plain skin and jade bones. Xia Xun was like a black-hearted businessman, smiling brightly: "Do you want to change it?" If you don't change it, just carry your stuff back! ”

The owner gritted his teeth, so unwilling, but after all, he couldn't stand the strong temptation brought to him by the Chinese porcelain plate, he stomped his feet, and said painfully: "Change, change, change!" Here you go! ”

He stuffed the half pocket of pearls and gems into Xia Xun's hand, snatched the porcelain plate, quickly put it in his arms like a baby, and left without looking back, as if he was afraid that once he turned around, he couldn't help but regret it. Although the gem was picked up in the mountains, it ......

Xia Xun laughed and returned to the bow of the boat, and handed the pocket to Tang Sai'er, who was looking at him with a blank eye: "Go, go to the room with your Aunt Ying to choose!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Tang Sai'er nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, and hurriedly pulled Su Ying and ran away.

At this time, Prince Senak appeared at the dock with a hundred elephants and four hundred cavalry......
