Section 927 The Inspiration of the Buddha!
Now that the two kings have decided on this plan, everything can be discussed, and the next matter will be resolved like a bamboo.
The two sides agreed that the sovereignty of Colombo City belonged to the Kingdom of Kandy, so that the Kingdom of Kandy recovered its territory;
The Kingdom of Kandy leased 400 square kilometers of land in the Greater Colombo area of 20 kilometers × 20 kilometers to the South-East for a period of 99 years, at a rent of 100 pounds of silver per year;
The Southeastern State could exercise jurisdiction within the Lend-Lease Zone, and could freely garrison troops and do business, and the Kandyans had the right to enter and leave Colombo City;
The one-year period of servitude for the people of Colombo City was abolished;
The South-East will assist the Kingdom of Kandy to unify Ceylon, expel all the foreign armies, and regain all the lands occupied by the foreigners in Ceylon to the Kingdom of Kandy, and the South-East Kingdom will not garrison any additional troops;
The two countries respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, do not invade each other, do not interfere in each other's internal affairs, and coexist peacefully on an equal footing and for mutual benefit.
The two countries undertake to take all measures jointly to prevent aggression by any State against the other and to provide military and other assistance to either State in the event of aggression by another State.
the development of people, economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries;
……
Mr. David signed the peace treaty "Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance between the Kingdom of Southeast China and the Kingdom of Kandy" on behalf of the Kingdom of Kandy, which came into force after being confirmed by Yan Changwu and Rajsinghe II!
Someone brought rum, Yan Changwu raised his glass, and said with a smile: "We will be a brother country in the future!" Here, cheers! ”
Rajsingh II barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said: "Come, cheers!" ”
He had just made a great choice, and completely fell to the southeast, and it did not seem bad at the moment, in an additional treaty, the kingdom of Kandy received a grant of 20,000 silver dollars, that is, he did not have to pay it back, and gave it to him for free, an interest-free loan of 100,000 silver dollars, with a repayment period of twenty years, and he could do whatever he wanted.
In addition, an interest-free loan of 100,000 silver dollars, with a repayment period of 20 years, was used to earmark the construction of roads and bridges leading to Colombo City in Kandy.
At the same time, the two sides will develop trade, and the southeastern country will export a large number of materials to the Kingdom of Kandy, and they will give whatever they need!
Ceylon has a long reputation for gemstones and will export large quantities of gemstones to the southeastern countries.
The Southeastern Kingdom provided a sum of military assistance to Kandy, half selling and half giving Kandy 5,000 flintlock pistols and 30 6-pounder guns, 10,000 shells (including gunpowder) and armor and other equipment, and sending 100 instructors to teach in the army of the Kingdom of Kandy.
Respect each other's religions and promote mutual visits between Buddhist beings in the two countries.
……
The vassals of the Kingdom of Kandy are like in a dream, and the king has sold himself?
And the generals of the southeastern country knew that giving such treatment to the Kingdom of Kandy actually turned Ceylon into a small Chinese follower, and the treatment was quite generous.
The main reason why Yan Changwu would show mercy to his subordinates can be seen from the use of those silver dollars.
Hehe, do you know what those silver dollars, what did Rajsinghe II use them for?
He spent most of his silver dollars on building Buddhist temples!
So, the answer lies in the religion of the Kingdom of Kandy--- Buddhism!
Yan Changwu's attitude towards religion was touched upon, and he believed that Buddhism was a tolerant religion and that countries that believed in Buddhism deserved to be taken care of.
Yes, the Sinhalese are mainly Sinhalese in Ceylon, most of them believe in Buddhism, have a peaceful personality, are pious and pure in thought, and are not extreme, Yan Changwu believes that after the two sides sign the peace treaty, the Ceylonese will keep their promise and not go to war with him.
Later facts proved that he was right, and no matter how the domestic situation and the international situation changed, the Ceylonese kept his promise and did not think otherwise about the city of Colombo.
In his personal name, Yan Changwu donated 10,000 silver dollars of incense money to the important Buddha Tooth Relic Temple of the Kandy Kingdom, and sent Mr. David Davy, an important minister, to visit the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple on his behalf!
……
The holy city of Kandy!
Located 120 kilometers northeast of Colombo, also known as Mahanuwar, it was founded in the 14th century by the monarch of the Kingdom of Kandy, Wickramabahu, in 1592 AD, and the capital of Stilan Kading was Kandy.
It is located in the middle of the southern part of Sri Lanka, surrounded by mountains with rare plant species, and is located in a tropical plant growth zone.
When Mr. David arrived in Kandy, he saw that the city was lush with trees, the houses were mostly surrounded by green, and there were often no mountains on the road, and the whole green was on both sides, and some old trees had mottled bark and tangled roots, and the broad roots were bare and stretched out in all directions.
He saw flocks of monkeys, little squirrels, monkeys, and peacocks running around, old cows lying sideways, and all kinds of beautiful birds flying overhead, people and nature were in harmony, people and animals lived in harmony, and animals were not afraid of people.
Mr. David belongs to the empire of big foodies, and he is close to those Cantonese who eat everything, and he is also a glutton, and he is very surprised by the scene in front of him!
Hey, hello Mr. Monkey, so close to us, aren't you afraid of being eaten by us?
Perhaps it was because they felt their bad breath that frightened a group of monkeys on the side of the road screamed and ran away, not daring to come!
There is a strong Buddhist atmosphere, and the best buildings are monasteries, which are beautifully shaped, but not luxurious.
Monks are revered, and the people make way for them when they see them, even some high-ranking officials and nobles.
The local people do not think that they are at the "feet of the Son of Heaven" and are domineering, everything is not impatient, like a small bridge and a flowing water boat slowly flowing by, and the pace of life is slow and leisurely.
They greeted each other with a sincere and bright smile, which made Mr. David nod his head secretly.
It's a predominantly Buddhist country with a large number of Buddhists and a very religious member!
He and his entourage fasted for three days in Kandy, bathed and changed their clothes, and solemnly did it!
Then, accompanied by Prime Minister Ashwela, he went to the Temple of the Tooth Relic to pay homage.
The Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy is a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists, and in the 4th century, the tooth relic of Shakyamuni was welcomed to Sri Lanka, and since then, Sri Lanka has formed an indissoluble bond with the Buddha.
The Temple of the Tooth Relic is located next to the royal palace and is built on a rectangular granite foundation. The temple is two floors, milky white wall, red tile eaves roof, although it is not tall and majestic, but it is also solemn.
The temple grounds are full of tall and flourishing trees, and crows croaking and shiny black and shiny crows.
Although the exterior of the temple is not luxurious, the interior architecture is very exquisite. The ground floor is a hall supported by 26 large wooden pillars and granite rock pillars, and the wooden pillars, beams, surrounding walls and ceilings are painted with brightly colored and vivid images reflecting the Buddha's life.
In the middle of the inner hall on the second floor, there is a huge golden seated Buddha, the golden light is brilliant, the lotus flowers in front of the Buddha and the Buddha candle table case, the incense is endless.
The most sacred place is the Buddha's Tooth Chamber, which is dedicated to the Buddha's tooth relic, which is generally closed to the public except for major Buddhist festivals.
If it weren't for the noble status of the Chinese leader Yan Changwu, Mr. David would not have been able to enter at all.
Incense is burned to welcome guests, cigarettes are filled, and the spices lit are the precious spices that the Chinese worship!
The monks in the temple dressed in costumes and ceremoniously received the distinguished guests from the East.
Under their guidance, Mr. David, who did not wear a military uniform and wore a tunic suit, and the deputy envoy Yan Le entered the hall, and in front of the sacred Buddha's tooth, the two knelt down and bowed to worship!
Seeing that they were very respectful, the accompanying guest Ashvela breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his heartfelt gratitude: "This is the inspiration of the Buddha!" ”
