"Bi Guole, Bi Guole, from the southwest corner of the sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shu Nantuo, the son of Yongqiang, came to offer Nanyin Fengzhengshuo.

Dezong set up a battle against the Purple Court, and he didn't listen to it.

......”

On the top of the heavy building, Yang Xingqian whispered this new music house from the former Tang Bai Juyi, but his eyes wandered on both sides of the river, wanting to see if there were any elves dancing like in the poem.

This is the famous Irrawaddy River, which runs through the entire Indochina Peninsula at the mouth of the sea, and unlike other places, this estuary is not a simple trumpet, but radial. From the vicinity of Niangjiao, more than 80 miles south of Miao Wang, the Irrawaddy River begins to diverge, scattering into umbrella-shaped tributaries and flowing into the Andaman Sea, forming the famous Irrawaddy River Delta with interwoven rivers.

On the delta, the terrain is low and flat, the river is a network, it is an excellent rice planting land, a large field is covered with both sides of the river, because the harvest season has passed, there is no fragrant rice flowers in the field, only a handful of rice stalks piled into a tower, waiting to be crushed and then used to fertilize the field, and around these towers are all children who are barefoot

It's a peaceful and peaceful scene.

Yang Xingqian's boat is as high as three times, in the shape of a huge inverted arc, even on the sea looks very amazing, not to mention this kind of river, because the river wind is not strong, the boat is very slow, looking from a distance, like a hill moving on the water.

Fortunately, there are no ships behind him, otherwise so many sea ships will go up the river, I am afraid that it will scare people to reorganize their armaments, this is different from the Three Buddhas, Yang Xingqian is not here to threaten them, on the surface, he has only one mission, that is, to buy grain.

This excuse is enough to bluff people, the rice production in the Irrawaddy River Delta region was famous for later generations, and even if it does not reach that height, in such a good year without major disasters, it is conceivable that the bottom of the barn is overflowing with golden grains, and the so-called abundance is nothing more than that.

"The jade snail blows the spine, and the copper drum hits the tattoo.

The beads are dazzling and the stars are shaking, and the flowers are fighting and the dragon and snake are moving. ”

Both sides of the river are crowded with people watching the excitement at this moment, but not only men, but even many women are caught in the crowd, looking towards the boat without hesitation, they may not have seen the lucky boat, but such a large sea boat, sailing on the inland river, is playing an unfamiliar foreign flag, it is inevitable to be a little more curious.

And the well-armed and well-equipped sergeants on the ship all show the extraordinaryness of this big boat, of course, no one would think that a single boat can do anything in this vast land, only in this way, it is even more talkative.

"Sir, Bagan has arrived."

There is no need to be reminded by the helm, Yang Xingqian also knows that the destination of this trip has been approached, in his sight, a huge pagoda suddenly emerged from the forest on the right bank of the river, the whole shape is like an upside-down gourd on the ground, the tip of the mouth part is shining, exactly the same as the record in the "Zhufan Chronicles", that should be the symbol of this kingdom, the legend says that the entire top of the tower is made of gold...... Shwedagon Pagoda.

Since I saw this tower, it should be the capital of the kingdom Bagan, not far away, from a distance, it is a city similar to the Song people, with tall walls standing on all sides, the city gate is arched, and there are no pavilions on the head of the city, only fluttering flags and guards standing with guns.

The capital is adjacent to the river, and there will naturally be ports and docks, but with the draft of his big boat, it is impossible to rely on it, and the result is that he can only use the big boat in the middle of the river as before, and then use the small boat as a transportation.

"You go with him to deliver the book, and so-and-so will wander around here."

Yang Xingqian handed a letter to the helmsman and told him to follow the locals to the officials here, no matter what he had to do, a reasonable diplomatic status was essential, at least most of the time, to save his life.

As the capital, the flow of people here is obviously much larger, everywhere there are people walking around and merchants of all colors and languages, perhaps because of the chaos in Quanzhou, he did not see the figure of the Song people, those dazzling gems, jadeite, spices, tooth ornaments and other things can not arouse his interest, but a ubiquitous animal let him stop for a long time.

"Is this an elephant, sir?" The first time I saw the legendary giant, a strong man was less than the height of other people's legs, and his long nose, fan-like ears, and long teeth were terrifying, even for a battle-experienced sergeant.

"Yes, this is the giant elephant, which is contained in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: 'Chong Shao is intelligent, born five or six years old, and his wisdom is as good as that of an adult. When Sun Quan once sent a giant elephant, Taizu wanted to know its weight, and under the group of visits, he couldn't make sense. Chong said: "Put it on the top of a big ship, and carve its water marks, weigh it to carry it, then the school can know." "Taizu Dayue, that is, to carry out the Yan." That's what it is. ”

Yang Xingqian, who is familiar with allusions, is also the first time to see a living thing, Rao knows its name, and suddenly his heart is still swaying, in front of these giants, human beings seem so small, but at this moment they are just human tools, like cattle and horses or pack animals, or carrying people, tame like domestic animals.

"You want to buy rice?"

In a white house in the middle of the city, a Bagan man with a golden crown looked at the paper written in Chinese and frowned imperceptibly, as if it were an incredible request.

Unlike on the big boat, the helmsman was wearing a green robe at the moment, and he also brought a personal soldier as a guard, and he was the customs clearance messenger ordered by Mr. himself, and he unconsciously brought into the role of the envoy of the Heavenly Empire, not only the language was much more arrogant, but even the behavior was quite a bit of Yang's style.

"Dare to ask, what grade of official are you in this city?" Treating the head snake like this, this is something that I couldn't think of as a businessman back then, at that time, even if I handed over the bribe, I had to look at the eyes of others, and it was not necessarily whether I received it or not.

I have to say, it feels so good to pretend to be forced.

Perhaps he didn't expect the other party to ask such a question, the man was stunned for a moment, looked at the other party, and peeked at the hill parked on the river, and his face was a little scornful.

"I am the tax governor of the port, and if you want to see our king, I can have someone take you to Dazaifu in the city."

"Then please."

The helmsman unceremoniously took over the conversation, deliberately pretending to be concave and upright, so that the personal soldiers who followed him almost couldn't help laughing.

So, when Yang Xingqian and the others came back from shopping in the city's markets, temples, and other places, the other party had even prepared the post house for them, although the documents he brought were only stamped with the big seal of the Guangxi Jingluo pacification envoy, but for these neighboring countries that directly dealt with them, it was already enough to look up to.

What made him strange was that the helmsman did not reach any intention with them, but brought a Pugan man in a brocade robe, this person looked a little old, but he did not wear the kind of gold crown that local officials passed, but only wrapped his head in cloth, Yang Xing looked at his eyes, and knew that this person's status would not be low, but he was a little curious about his intentions.

"The envoy of the kingdom is here, and everyone in our country is deeply honored."

As soon as this person spoke, he was stunned, because the other party actually spoke Chinese, and it was still that authentic official dialect.

"Don't dare, but I don't know what position you hold in the country?" The other party intends to hide his identity, there will definitely be important matters to discuss, since this is the case, then there is no need for one more person to listen here, Yang Xingqian glanced at his subordinates first, and asked them all to retreat, and then asked.

"I am the king's father, and I have heard that the envoy has entered the city, and I have come to visit." The man returned the salute with his hands together: "My name is Ananda Biha. ”

"In the staff of the Xiafu Division, surnamed Yang, Mr. Ananda, please."

The other party is obviously no stranger to his official position, knowing that he is a confidant of Fu Shuai, and he has not neglected it because of this, but for the man's official position, Yang Xingqian is a little unable to find the doorway, maybe it is the prime minister or something, the two of them are smiling, and they sat down face to face on a mat in the room.

"Mr. Ananda, I think you have already informed me of our intentions, and I don't know if there is any difficulty in this discussion." He didn't put up any shelves, and reached out to pour tea for both sides.

"Staff Officer Yang, are you really here to buy grain?" The man looked incredulous.

"Or else?"

"With all due respect, people who have lived for so many years and are about to enter the ground have never heard of any country sending more than 300 animals at a time to buy grain...... of warships. He deliberately took off his long note: "Where are you going to put the rice?" ”

is a smart person, Yang Xingqian smiled, otherwise how could people come to the door like this.

"Don't hide it, sir, our side has some wars to fight recently, so we have to make this decision as a last resort, all the ships on the road are rushing for this matter, whether it is a merchant ship or a war ship, you can load as much as you can, is this reason credible?"

"The Yuan people have sent troops?" The other party sensitively grasped something, Yang Xingqian secretly praised his cleverness, but pretended to be embarrassed on his face.

“...... This is a friendly neighbor, it doesn't hurt to say it, the Yuan people have sent a large army from Yunnan, and they have penetrated deep into the territory of Yongzhou, and we are mobilizing people to stop it, so we will buy grain everywhere, if you don't believe it, you can go there to investigate, and you should know that what you said is true. ”

"How many men did they dispatch?" Unconsciously, the man's body leaned forward slightly, revealing a nervous expression.

"No less than 50,000 riders." Yang Xingqian's demeanor was very relaxed, and the man was stunned for a moment.

What the other party is thinking, he can guess, the more this is the case, the more he can't be in a hurry, from his departure to the present, many days have passed, what is the battle situation over there, and he doesn't know at all, Yang Xingqian drank tea while thinking about the next thing, and he didn't even look at it, this kind of behavior made the man more convinced, and most of the news in his words was true.

"Thank you for the news, I will go back and inform the king immediately, and I will invite the staff banquet later." By this time, he couldn't hide it anymore, and got up and prepared to leave.

"When you see your king, please say a few kind words for us and other things, it's really like a fire."

Yang Xingqian didn't keep it, and when he sent the guest out, he quietly stuffed a bag over, and the other party smiled and saluted him again, but he didn't refuse his gift.

Looking at the back of the other party in a hurry, the corners of his eyes turned up slightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or something else.
