"General, do you know why this place is called the Lion Country?"

A Chinese man who looked like a businessman, accompanied Yao Qisheng to inspect the land he had just laid down, and asked with a smile.

Yao Qisheng really didn't know, so he turned his face and asked, "Why?" ”

"Legend has it that the people here are descendants of lions and people, and they think that their ancestors are lions, so they call themselves the Lion Country."

Yao Qisheng suddenly lost interest, the legends of the Barbarian Land were always so bizarre, but it was not something he was interested in.

Seeing that he was not interested, the merchant stopped continuing the topic and began to talk about some construction.

In fact, this is the birthplace of the famous story of Beauty and the Beast.

Legend has it that a princess in ancient South India was captured by a mighty male lion when she was married, and she married her.

Later, the princess gave birth to a boy and a girl. When the child grew up, he learned the truth of the matter, so he designed to escape, and finally the mother and son fled back to their hometown.

But by this time the dynasty had changed, and they could only hide their origins. After losing his wife and children, the male lion searched everywhere and killed many people along the way.

At that time, the king offered a reward for the removal of the harm, and the son of the lion also decided to remove the harm. When the male lion met his son, he pounced on him and made love to him, but his son took the opportunity to kill the male lion.

When the son went to receive the reward, the king was furious when he found out what had happened.

He condemned his father's murder and exiled him to the sea. He drifted by boat to what is now Sri Lanka, where he took up residence.

Later, he killed a passing merchant, leaving behind the merchant's children and proliferating. His descendants established the country, and according to the origin of their ancestors, they called the country "Lion Country", and this name has been handed down.

This story is full of the sinister nature of human nature in every part, and it is not a beautiful story, but it is the nature of human beings.

Human nature is inherently evil, and only the influence of education and the environment can lead people to good.

Winning the Lion Country is just a springboard for Yao Qisheng.

But for Chinese merchants, this is undoubtedly an excellent port, goods on the Indian continent can be transshipped from here, and another prosperous business route is about to appear.

It is also rich in a variety of gemstones, such as rubies, sapphires and opals.

Yao Qisheng, who missed such a cruel story, ordered to gather people in the local area, as long as they were young and strong and had no disabilities, they would come out to build ports and cities.

After all, the Chinese are good, and all the people will not be abused, and they can also eat well and receive rewards.

The original rule of the Lion Kingdom was also very cruel, and for them, being occupied by the Chinese was an alternative rescue.

The Hua Dynasty never set up colonies, and soon set up government offices and send officials to the territory they conquered. carry out garrisons; Then it was the abolition of the local language, the unification of the use of Chinese, the burning of local history books, the dispatch of teachers, and the reading and literacy from the baby.

The Sinhalese and Tamils are the two major races on the island, and they fight each other with blood.

The Sinhalese ethnic group, which makes up the vast majority of the population, is predominantly Buddhist, and Sri Lanka means "Promised Land" or "Land of Light and Abundance" in Sinhala. Tang Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" recorded: "Sinhala country. More than 7,000 miles per week. The capital of the country is more than 40 miles. The land is fertile and the air is warm and hot. When the crops are sown, the flowers and fruits are multiplying. The people are prosperous, and the family property is rich. Its shape is humble and black, and its nature is fierce. studious, virtuous, virtuous, diligent and blessed. ”

If it weren't for the arrival of the European white-skinned people, the people here would have been doing well, but the king was a bit cool. After all, it is an island country, and without the invasion of foreign enemies, the internal fighting has never stopped.

In the history of later generations, their struggle has never stopped, and it is difficult for two peoples with different cultures to accept each other completely.

Yao Qisheng ordered to behead the king and all the members of the royal family of the two ethnic groups in Colombo, and there were eggs under the nest, and I don't know how much blood was hidden in the mighty Age of Discovery. The Virgin Nation that is too clean will be completely pulled down in this Age of Discovery, where the fittest survived.

In Colombo, all the books, Buddhist scriptures, steles and even murals in Sri Lanka, as long as they can be recorded, have been moved. After a carpet search, almost everything with words was not spared. The valuables were loaded onto the sailors' ships and were ready to be transported to the Hua Dynasty to pay tribute. Those who are worthless and have words are piled up in a big pit in the suburbs.

Many people in Colombo consciously stepped out of their homes to watch this unique ceremony. They don't know what this thing means, and they watch it with relish at this time.

It was a day that changed the beauty of Sri Lanka forever, and there has never been a more important day than today.

A few soldiers on horseback controlled the crowd, and everyone craned their necks to look in.

After a while, Yao Qisheng's order flag waved, and the soldiers began to destroy them outside Colombo with artillery shells and arson shells.

Booming artillery rang out, and the raging fire accompanied by thick smoke completely set the suburbs outside Colombo on fire.

A fire was missing, and Yao Qisheng looked at the raging fire, his eyes flashing with yellow and vibrant light.

This is the real slaughter... It is not individuals that are slaughtered, but the culture of a people.

Without their own culture, they will lose their inheritance, and soon the people here will only speak Chinese, forgetting the past of their ancestors, and they will be sinicized as quickly as possible.

The rain is widespread, and the grass without roots is not moistened!

There were some devout Buddhists, crying and rushing into the fire, which was quickly burned to ashes.

"No matter how they are called the Lion Country, anyway, this story will not be allowed to be passed on in the future, this place has been the territory of Han rule since ancient times, and their descendants will remember that it was the Han people who rescued them from the misery and lived a prosperous life." Yao Qisheng turned his head and said to the businessman who was also stunned.

The businessman's eyes were complicated, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

The generals turned a blind eye, they had seen too much life and death, and their hearts had long been as solid as iron.

But the merchant didn't, looking at the monks who were preaching the Buddha's name one by one, and their faces were resolute and rushing into the firelight, at this moment he seemed to have been hit hard, unspeakably uncomfortable, dizzy...

In the midst of the fire, explosions were heard from time to time, and arson bombs were fired incessantly. The heat wave alone roasted to death many people who tried to walk in, and their bodies slowly turned yellow halfway through the death.

People can have no faith, but they don't have to look down on other people's beliefs, sometimes they are really sincere.

Since then, this merchant has believed in Buddhism, and after returning to the Chinese Dynasty, he also donated a lot of sesame oil money.
