Section 928 The national treasure of the Ceylonese people

To tell the truth, after seeing the military strength of the Chinese, Ashvera was very afraid of the war between the two countries!

Once the war starts, it will be a loss of life, and the key is that most of the people who die should be Kandyan.

In the past, when fighting with the Portuguese, although the Kandyans could not break through the firepower of the Portuguese, the Portuguese were few, and the troops of a thousand people could not penetrate deep into the interior of Kandy, and even if they came, they could not guarantee the communication line, and they were eventually defeated.

And the Chinese army is extremely strong, looking at the past full of soldiers, and the youth is quite elite, all firearms, Ashvera has seen their flintlock pistols, with a certain waterproof ability, rain and fog can also fight, very ferocious.

With so many troops, it really means to fight anywhere, and the Chinese deliberately scare him, so that Ashvera knows that the marines and mountain infantry in the Chinese army sequence can conduct jungle warfare, so that the Kandyan people have no advantage to deal with the white skins......

When the two countries signed the treaty, Ashwera breathed a long sigh of relief.

In particular, he saw that the attitude of Chinese high-ranking officials towards Buddhism was respectful, far better than that of European whiteskins!

The European white skin came with Xiao Yajiao, holding "Nerves", nervous/very sick, claiming "Believe in me and be saved, if you don't believe in me I will be saved, if you don't believe me will (send you) to hell!" "It was very unpleasant to have a quarrel with the Kandyans.

The Chinese are quite good, they respect the local religion, and they are worthy of people who come out of the same place where the Buddha's holy light is shrouded, and everyone can communicate.

Mr. David became the first white skin to enter the holy mosque and pay homage to the Buddha's tooth!

In fact, it was Yan Changwu's care for him that allowed him to leave a name in Chinese history!

The people of Kandy don't know that Mr. David is actually a strange man in white skin, an out-and-out egg man, white-skinned and yellow-hearted, and there is no arrogance of white skin at all, but he is as simple and gentle as a gentleman like a Chinese.

He paid homage to the Buddha's tooth, on behalf of Yan Changwu to give 10,000 silver dollars, he put his palms together, and said to the Kandyan people: "I am very happy to come to a country that is infiltrated by Buddhism, a Buddha country where lotus flowers are quietly blooming, which makes people happy and yearning!" ”

Listening to his words, the people of Kandy were delighted!

……

The Chinese are strong, and Kandy Prime Minister Ashwila accompanied them throughout the whole process and led them to visit everywhere.

Although Ceylon is a small country, it is located in the tropics, with dense jungles and a wide variety of species.

They saw the famous elephant colony of Kandy, located thirty miles west of the holy city of Kandy, where there were a large number of fruit trees that provided ample food for the elephants, and a wide stream passed through it, so that there was a source of water.

When I got there, it was just in time for the elephants to bathe, and the elephants came out of the yard to look at the stream.

Elephants are considered a national treasure by the Kandyan people, and elephants have a high status in the Kandy Kingdom, and the elephants that live here are well cared for, fed and bathed.

The elephants frolicked happily in the water and began their happy afternoon.

These elephants are well-bare and apparently well-fed.

That's right, for their food is full, and the Kandyans would rather go hungry themselves than feed these big guys.

If it weren't for the natural conditions, the elephants would have been low in their fertility, otherwise the Kandyans would have starved to death first.

In fact, Mr. David saw that the people of Kandy had a lot of food, but they were smiling as if they were his own children when they fed the elephants.

The Kandyan people are reluctant to call elephants to work, elephants have only one use, that is, to act as war elephants, on the battlefield either to win or perish with their masters!

Perhaps, it is these elephants that the Kandy Kingdom can see, when they charge into battle, they are majestic and impressive.

In the afternoon, Ashwila asked Mr. David to mount the elephant's back with him on the back of the elephant and stride through the jungle, making way for all the leopards, tigers and wolves he encountered!

"Our elephants are enough to trample the Portuguese so that they do not dare to attack us!" Ashvela said proudly: "Elephants are not afraid of bullets and bullets, they can trample the Portuguese into pulp!" ”

When Ashvera said these words, he intended to deter the Chinese, and Mr. David said kindly: "May the elephants not have to go into battle, may peace come here, and let the flames of war not take over the holy land of the Buddha!" ”

Yes, elephants are not afraid of bullets, but labor and management only need to set fire in front of the battle, although the elephant is raised by Ah San, but does not have the ability of Ah San to rub on the oil and step on the fire barefoot like a leisurely walk, they are afraid of fire, retreat in case of fire, labor and management shoot with guns and bullets, elephants not only do not attack labor and capital, but also trample on each other, and the army has been defeated!

Unbelief? Give it a try!

"Accept your words, I hope so!" Ashwila didn't know about Mr. David's bad thoughts, and said happily.

……

On the return trip after the visit, Mr. David and Yan Le sat in the carriage all the way bumpy, the road was extremely difficult to walk, Yan Le complained: "I can't figure out why Uncle Wu (Yan Changwu) asked me to come here in the poor countryside, it is said that it is still the largest city on the whole island, which is not as good as our third-tier cities!" ”

Mr. David smiled and said: "The leader wants you to come, to let you come to see the world, to cultivate your temperament, so that you don't want to be so belligerent, and you must be calm and calm!" ”

"You're right, if I stay here for a while, I won't have the strength to move, and I won't be belligerent at all!" Yan Le shouted, he complained that the food was not good, there were many vegetarians, a banana leaf was a bowl, and he wanted to eat? Grab it with your hands

Follow the local customs, the local food is very Ah San style, although everyone has not yet arrived in Ah San Continent, but basically can be imagined.

When they attend a state banquet, the waiter spreads a banana leaf in front of them, then serves rice and curry, and they are ready to eat. Don't have any cutlery without knives, forks, spoons, chopsticks, and want to eat?

Please grasp it with your hands, so Yan Le can only learn from scratch, stir well with your hands, grasp the food with your hands, and bring the food to your mouth as elegantly as possible!

He commented: "I believe that we will win against the Kandy people and Ah San!" ”

“HY?” Mr. David asked.

"We eat meat, they eat vegetarians, and we are stronger than them. We use chopsticks, we are an evolved people, they have just evolved from birth! Yan Le said with a smile.

Mr. David said with deep agreement: "We Chinese will definitely be invincible in the world, we used chopsticks thousands of years ago, and European white skin now also eats with their hands!" ”

Far from denigrating the white skin of Europe, the large-scale use of knives and forks was developed later, and now the same hands are used, and even King Louis XIV of France will use chopsticks!

There was a "pop" sound, but it was Yan Le who killed a mosquito in the carriage, and he was covered with blood!

With his own hands and plenty of food and clothing, Yan Le took out the ointment and rubbed it on himself, he complained bitterly: "The mosquitoes here are fierce enough, and they are still itchy when they rub it, so I rubbed a layer of ointment on it." ”

He guessed: "What do you say those monks do if they are bitten by mosquitoes when they are seated?" Or are the mosquitoes also subduing the Dharma and not daring to bite them? ”

Thinking of the scene when the monk was bitten by a mosquito and swaying his body from side to side, Yan Le was overjoyed, and Mr. David couldn't help but wonder.

"That's right!" Yan Le asked, "You are very polite to them, is it Uncle Wu's order?" ”

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this, I can turn their elephants into dead elephants with a single charge and take them back to barbecue!" Yan Le is worthy of his words.

Fortunately, there are Chinese all around, if the Kandy people hear his words, I am afraid that no matter what kind of envoy he is, they will drag him out and let him die!

So he was rightfully criticized by Mr. David!
