The five warships gradually converged, and through the contact of the flag, Hong Xiguan got the news that the ships were basically fine, the ships were fine, and the people were not dead.

All kinds of water leaks, breakage is inevitable, and injuries to the crew are inevitable, all of which are trivial!

Hearing that they had arrived in Sri Lanka in a daze, everyone was very happy, and while repairing the battleship, they slowly approached Sri Lanka.

Tears of the Buddha ---- Sri Lanka!

Chinese history calls it the Sinhala (Simhala) country, also known as the lion country, the Shizi country, and the Shizi continent; After the Song Dynasty, it was called fine orchid; In the Ming Dynasty, it was called Ceylon.

The name Sri Lanka was given by Yan Dashao.

The Chinese call it Ceylon, Yan Dashao said that it is Sri Lanka, his fist is the biggest, and the voice is the loudest, so Ceylon has become an inexplicable Sri Lanka, why is it called Sri Lanka?

Because the Boss loves the name!

Even if the Ceylonese protests, it's useless, who calls the Chinese guys the biggest, thickest and hardest!

Sri Lanka is "the most beautiful island in the world" and "has it all but snow." "Beautiful seashores, mysterious ancient cities, abundant natural beauty, and unique and fascinating culture.

It's located in the tropics, and there is no industrialization, so as far as the eye can see, it is all green!

It has many miraculously shocking temples and Buddha statues, as well as the magnificent temples of the Indian third brother, plus the simple small buildings established by the Hongmao Fan in recent years!

The Sinhalese migrated from India to Sri Lanka in the 5th century BC.

In 247 BC, Emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty of India sent his son to the island, and the Sinhalese people abandoned Brahmanism and converted to Buddhism, and around 311 BC, the tooth of the Buddha was introduced to Sri Lanka from India.

Around the 2nd century BC, the Tamils of South India also began to move in.

From the 5th century to the 16th century, the Sinhalese kingdom, which believed in Buddhism, and the Tamil kingdom, which believed in the three gods, fought continuously, and in 1521 AD, the Portuguese fleet landed near Colombo, and it became a three-way rivalry. The visiting fleet was anchored off the coast of Sri Lanka and underwent repairs.

On their own, the area is extremely primitive, and there are only two types of locals: monks, farmers, and even fishermen.

There are fish in the sea, and although they are free, they are caught and eaten.

Therefore, even if it is on land, this special M can't find meat supplements.

Of course, if you are at sea, you can catch those who swim in the sea, but the southeastern army with a mouth in their mouths wants to eat what runs in the mountains and flies in the sky, but it can't!

The visiting Southeastern Army was educated and had to follow the local customs and respect the local customs.

"If others don't eat anything, you can't eat anything in front of them, that's a principle!" The instructor gave a lecture to the officers and soldiers, and then said in silence: "When your firepower is enough to control the situation, you can eat whatever you want!" ”

In Sri Lanka, Buddhist monks are highly respected, and monks should not be disrespected!

Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka are highly respected, and Sri Lankan residents try to keep their heads slightly lower than their heads, whether standing or sitting, when talking to their Buddhist partners, and they are not allowed to hold objects in their left hands and hand them to Buddhist monks and believers.

Therefore, in the Tamil Kingdom that believes in the three gods of Asa, those who want to provoke often use their left hand to hand things to those Buddhists, indicating that I just want to mess with you!

When you meet a monk on the road, you should bow down and ask him to go first. On a full moon day, don't drink alcohol. The crow is regarded as a sacred bird and mascot in Sri Lanka and is not to be harmed.

Do not do anything rude to the Buddha statue, do not climb on top of the statue to play or take pictures, as a sign of respect for the local faith.

In other words, the locals don't have live creatures to sell you, they know you want to eat their meat, don't even think about it!

You can't go ashore to hunt, so Tao Yuanzao, the naturalist on the ship, is very annoyed, he can't openly catch specimens, so he is useless.

After hearing that the secretary had found nothing, but only made a batch of yogurt, fruits, and flatbread, Hong Xiguan understood why from the 5th century to the 16th century, the Sinhalese kingdom, which believed in Buddhism, and the Tamil kingdom, which believed in the three gods of A, fought continuously for nearly a thousand years.

The Sinhalese kingdom that believes in Buddhism is vegetarian, and the Tamil kingdom that believes in the three gods of Aya is not much better.

"No, there's still meat to eat!"

The navigator, Hu Yadong, a merchant who had visited Sri Lanka a year earlier, guided the small fleet to Colombo, on the western coast of Sri Lanka, which by this time was in Portuguese possession.

If you want to be red-haired, you will definitely not be a vegetarian, so everyone is happy to go.

When you arrive in Colombo, it is indeed different from other places, where tall and sturdy stone fortresses are built, which are Portuguese forts.

The visiting fleet stopped just outside the port of Colombo, and soon the Portuguese came to inspect it in a customs ship.

There was a paddle boat with a bearded Portuguese on it, and the rest were natives rowing, and Hu Yadong approached the other party, saying that it was the fleet of the Southeast Province that had come to visit Colombo on a friendly visit.

The Portuguese have great respect for Hu Yadong, with a soft body and a harmonious attitude.

Of course, although the red-haired fan is arrogant, no matter how arrogant he sees the Chinese cannons, how can he be hard!

The visiting fleet deliberately opened the muzzles of the guns to show the guys, and there were three 18-pounder cannons in the middle on each side!

The cruiser was designed with reinforcement and was able to tolerate the recoil of an 18-pounder cannon.

Hu Yadong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that when he came, the Portuguese had a different face, very arrogant, quite impatient in the language, and skillfully stretched out his palm----- Portuguese don't speak Chinese, but everyone understands this international common language!

Okay, with the help of the pilots, the Kaohsiung 72 ship and the Yaksha 12 ship entered the port to replenish, and the other three ships waited outside the port.

Their entry into the port caused a commotion among the people of Colombo, this is a large fleet, everyone will have the opportunity to make money, and on the shore found that there are Chinese people showing the flag of the southeast province!

Several Chinese crowded forward to greet them, "Welcome to the army!" ”

The local voices are in other places, and the officers and soldiers of the southeast government are also enthusiastically responding.

Hung Hee-guan and Kaustit went ashore to the governor's palace to meet the local Portuguese governor, Paul Colloette.

The Governor's Palace, on the largest street in Colombo City, was built of stone, guarded by a group of musketeers in front of the gate, and many people were sitting in small houses inside, waiting to be received.

They were immediately received after their briefing.

Paul Collott is quite an elephant bear, with a loud voice and a great sense of oppression.

But Hong Xiguan keenly smelled the smell in the air, which was a mixture of the fox smell of the ghost guy and the spices exported from the Southeast Mansion, one was extremely smelly, the other was extremely fragrant, and the smell was really enough.

That guy was dressed in colorful clothes, very luxurious, this is the clothes made of Husi!

"Welcome, my friend!" The governor was very enthusiastic and said with open arms, but Hong Xiguan didn't come forward, he didn't want to make a mess!

"It's an honor to meet you!" Hong Xiguan politely answered in Portuguese.

"Hello friends!" Costeit said in Portuguese, which is rarely sold.

Seeing the strange combination of a Chinese and a foreigner wearing the same military uniform, the well-informed Paul Colliot was also amazed!
