Section 968 Superstition is a must
Siam is a large country in the Indochina Peninsula and has a stable territory since ancient times, and the current king is Palase Dong.
This country, like Myanmar, is a devout Buddhist country, so the interaction between the Chinese and them, and the role played by Buddhism is very important.
When the Siamese discovered that the Chinese were the same believers in the Buddha as they were, and that they were quite powerful, they immediately came to their aid.
The Siamese people are also in great trouble, the green religion, the primitive religion are invading their country, the countries with religious identity come to help, and show no interest in their territory, the Siamese immediately form an alliance with the Chinese, everything is green.
Buddhism plays such a role as a link that some officials in the four countries of Indochina and even in the southeast admire the leader's decision-making to the ground!
Now Siam has close relations with the southeastern countries, almost like Myanmar, and is a brotherly country.
The trade with the other three countries to the southeast was vigorous, importing the old three pieces of silk, porcelain and tea from the Chinese, as well as the new three pieces of sugar, tobacco and liquor, and importing Chinese metal products such as muskets, artillery, clocks, farm tools, etc., anyway, the export list of the Chinese was not long.
Laos has minerals such as gold, iron, and copper, and the country exports a large amount of shellac and benzoin, as well as precious wood such as teak and pear.
Cambodia has gold and precious stones, and they have precious trees such as teak, ironwood, ebony, and red sandalwood.
As for Myanmar, nonsense, jadeite is their export fist product, the country is a treasure trove of gemstones, some are rich in rubies, sapphires, diamonds, its metal minerals are gold, silver, lead, tin, iron, etc., as for wood, it is even more incredible, there are so many teak, incomparable, they even built a long bridge made of pure teak, which made the Chinese drool, asking them if this bridge is sold?!
Even the southeastern country, which has a huge forest bank in Southeast Asia, has been resigned, and Chinese businessmen have set up wood mills in Burma and cut down a large amount of teak wood for the construction of ships.
There are also precious woods such as sandalwood, chicken wings, iron wood, sour branches, and pear.
Speaking of which, the southeastern countries also have quite a few of these timber resources, but they are gradually no longer cutting wood, but cutting wood from Burma, Laos, Siam and Cambodia, and Annam, in the name of helping them balance trade.
In recent years, Chinese businessmen have invested in many countries to develop minerals and trade, and they have also assisted countries in developing rice and sugar production.
Chinese businessmen are not bad!
In business, we talk about profits, but we do not squeeze all countries, make money in harmony, and promote the economic development of all countries.
The Central and Southern countries also had an important human trade with the Chinese, and the laborers of various countries went to work on the Chinese side, and half of the money belonged to the state, and every laborer naturalized in the southeastern country had to pay ten silver dollars to the country before him, so those naturalized laborers laughed at themselves and could take it away if they were worth ten silver dollars.
As a result, the fiscal revenues of various countries have been increasing, and the ties with the Chinese have become more and more intensive.
Have the same religious beliefs.
The Chinese have a strong military and financial resources, which effectively deter the opposition forces of various countries, and if they really want to offend the Chinese, the Chinese will come to the door, and the Buddhists will enthusiastically lead the way, colluding with the inside and outside, who can stop them?!
Like Annan, the four Burmese countries entered the sphere of influence of the Chinese cultural sphere, and eventually, all four countries signed treaties of friendship and alliance with the southeastern countries, which were about brotherly countries.
All countries respect each other, do not invade each other, and the security of all countries is guaranteed by the southeastern country!
Actively develop economic, religious, and cultural exchanges and people-to-people exchanges, and promote the development of bilateral relations.
Yan Changwu had some thoughts about Myanmar at first, but found that after the alliance between the two sides, there was almost no inconvenience for the Chinese to enter and leave Burma, so he pressed his enterprising spirit, after all, he had a lot of strategies, and there was no need to increase his troubles.
In the main hall, everyone listened to Chen Xinji's report and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
How many years have passed, and the strength of our Chinese has reached such a strong point, from the distant mainland of Tuao to Aden in Western Arabia, tens of thousands of miles of sea journey, there are flags of the southeast country, and all you hear are Chinese!
In Indochina, speaking Chinese is becoming fashionable, and in the Indian subcontinent, speaking Chinese is like a sign of a superior person, and the Chinese are Kshatriyas!
Then in the west of the Indian Ocean, there are many tribes, cruel personalities, and even more Ottoman behemoths, but they also have to pay tribute to the giant ships and guns of the Chinese!
The Chinese are so mighty, and everyone in the palace hall is honored!
They looked at Yan Changwu on the throne with reverence, and some people even thought that the Hongmao Fan United Fleet came to the door and shelled the Rising Sun Harbor, and the soldiers and civilians were in panic all day, only to feel that it was gloomy in front of them.
However, the return of the leader and the command of the fleet west out of the Strait of Malacca did not seem to have used much strength, nor did he have many casualties (but a lot of money was spent), and he easily obtained a large area of territory west of the Strait of Malacca, which made the four countries of Central and South China bow down to their ears.
Burmese people pay attention to the protection of their own industry, collect tariffs as high as 16% for foreigners, and refuse to reduce whether they live or die.
As a result, after many negotiations between the Chinese and them, the tariff was cut in half, to 8%.
King Anzan of Cambodia is a green cultist who suppresses Buddhism in his country, but when the Chinese who believe in Buddhism arrive, the fleet swings in Cambodia's territorial waters, and King Anzan wilts, and he no longer dares to say a word to Buddhism, so he stays in the palace sulking, gritting his teeth, but he is helpless.
……
"I will personally welcome the relics of the Buddha!" Yan Changwu announced.
In order to further encompass the Buddhists and other countries that believe in Buddhism, Yan Changwu made this move, and everyone was happy to see it, and no one objected.
Will it anger the Taoist Mazu Niangniang?
In China, multi-faith has never been a thing, most Chinese retain the habit of burning incense when they see the temple and worshipping the gods when they see them, anyway, many people are not to blame, and the gods cannot be blamed on the Chinese.
If it's weird, it's not a good god!
Chinese society is dominated by people, not by gods!
The southeast country advocates Buddhism, Taoism and Confucian beliefs (you can't knock down the Confucian Temple, otherwise the entire Chinese moral and cultural system will collapse and can only be improved), and the religious belief has been agreed that "red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and Taoism were originally one!" So Yan Changwu made the decision to welcome the Buddha bones and personally welcome the Buddha bones that arrived from Myanmar.
After the death of the Buddha, Emperor Ashoka divided the Buddha's relics into 84,000 treasure letters, which were distributed all over the world and built stupas for worship, while there were more than a dozen stupas dedicated to the Buddha's relics in China.
Myanmar, as an important Buddhist country, has received a lot of Buddha relics, and now they are ready to send one to the southeast, in order to show solemnity, Yan Changwu decided to welcome it in person.
It will become an important religious event, and he will come forward and truly gather it into the hearts of Buddhist countries and Buddhists.
This matter is a correction made by Yan Changwu, he returned to the Rising Sun City, one job is to listen to the report of all aspects of affairs, most of them are implemented very well, did not deviate from his principles and policies, but some details are not in place, such as welcoming the Buddha's relics, it was decided to be greeted by the Minister of Religious Affairs, and Yan Changwu changed it to his own welcome.
As a red soldier taught by the Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty, Yan Changwu would not know what religion was all about, he would be superstitious?!
Reasoning is that smart people understand --- well, so Confucianism is very smart, they have early "Zi is silent and strange and confused", they don't believe it!
There have always been few smart people in the world, and there are many stupid people, and if you want stupid people to understand, it is better to engage in superstition quickly, so he personally welcomes the Buddha's bones.
Then when he and Mr. David were drinking tea in the palace, Mr. David said loudly: "Do you say that there are really gods in the world? I don't believe in God, I leave the church, and I don't see God punish me! ”
"That's because God can't beat Mazu Niangniang! This is Mazu Niangniang's territory! Yan Changwu laughed and laughed, and the two wisely did not discuss it.
So Mr. David and Yan Changwu have the same three views, they are like-minded good friends, but in other words, he is a guy who says something about the gods, Yan Changwu told him to climb quickly and disappear from in front of him.
Mr. David asked, "Tomorrow the leader will come to my house and sit down, will it be the same?" ”
"No problem!" Yan Changwu agreed.
