Chapter XXXVII

In the afternoon, between the mountains and forests, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and even the air is full of vitality. It's hard to imagine www.biquge.info that last night, here was still immersed in a sea of blood with swords and swords.

However, compared with the surrounding scenery, the two monarchs and ministers who were walking in the forest at this moment looked a little uncomfortable.

Although the king's face no longer had the submissive, frightened expression on the main hall before. But he was still thinking about something, remembering the previous conversation.

Ma Dezhong saw that the king would not die, but he was still sad, so he asked in Tianzhu language, "King, since the Ming army has decided not to pursue it, what is the king afraid of?" ”。

Faced with the courtier's inquiry, the king, who was over half a hundred years old, did not reply immediately.

He just continued to remember what was going on inside the hall.

He remembered that in that room, the six people sitting there were all much higher in cultivation than him, and they were probably all above the third grade.

He thought of the sixty-odd ships on the coast, formidable behemoths.

He also remembered the armor worn by the ordinary soldiers of the Ming army.

Suddenly, this king, who had just unified the territory and was supposed to be a heroic and dry cloud, seemed to be depressed and depressed.

"Hey... It turns out that compared with the Ming army, there is a difference between heaven and earth."

The king sighed softly, then shook his head again, and continued.

"Although Lord Zheng decided not to pursue it again, it is not his final say in this Ming Dynasty after all. Therefore, the king still needs to personally send a team of men and horses to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to meet the saint. I apologize and ask for forgiveness! ”。

At this time, when the king spoke, his eyes were in front of him, and the royal city belonged to him.

Therefore, he didn't notice that the face of the right protector behind him was showing a hint of disgust and disdain......

………….

At the same time, Shi Wuwei and the three of them finally left the treasure ship where Master Zheng was, returned to their respective rooms in Qianshandu, and began to rest.

Since Master Zheng has already turned this matter into a small one, the itinerary for the next few days will still be routine as usual.

In fact, the Javanese state is not the first South China Sea country where the fleet has landed on this trip.

As early as two months ago, when the fleet arrived in Annam, Lord Zheng had already met with the king of Annam and formulated a series of strategies for the friendship between the two countries.

Therefore, in the next few days, there was nothing to do with Shi Wuwei and a few people.

However, due to the death of more than 170 soldiers in the imperial court, Lord Zheng could not bear the souls of these heroes and wandered here. So at dusk, I specially invited a little monk to spend time for these dead martyrs.

And the little monk who didn't want to see these dead exposed in the wilderness naturally gladly accepted Lord Zheng's proposal.

Therefore, on this beach at sunset, the little monk is chanting the scriptures with his eyes closed and his hands folded.

In front of him were the more than 170 corpses that were quietly piled up on the firewood.

At this moment, around this corpse mountain, there is a circle, wearing battle armor and holding torches. Their faces were sad, and there were faint tears in their eyes.

They were all comrades-in-arms in front of the deceased. And some of these people who died were their brothers, some were their friends, and some were their countrymen.

They originally went to sea with the mission of spreading Chinese civilization overseas with guest clothes all over the world. But now, the former friend is lying so quietly in front of his eyes.

Who wouldn't be moved and sad because of this?

…..

After a few moments, the little monk's mouth had stopped chanting, and his eyes had opened.

Then, he looked at one of the generals beside him and signaled that he had finished overpassing.

Immediately afterwards, the general waved the white flag in his hand at the treasure ship in the distance.

When one of the soldiers on the treasure ship saw this, he took a deep breath and began to blow the horn in his mouth.

"Woo~~~~~"

"Woo~~~~~"

"Woo~~~~~".

After these three low, long, and endlessly sad trumpets sounded, the group of soldiers with torches on the beach walked together towards their dead comrades.

"Go all the way!!"

"Go all the way!!"

And when this group of people said this parting sound, more than 27,000 soldiers on all sixty-three ships on the coast shouted in unison.

"Go all the way~".

"Go all the way~"

"Go all the way"

After three sounds, the soldiers on the beach threw the torches in their hands into the mountain of corpses.

Then he quietly watched the blazing fire drown his brothers.

According to Lord Zheng's order, all soldiers who died in foreign countries were not allowed to be buried on the spot. After cremation, the ashes must be brought back to the Central Plains by the fleet, and they will be buried.

This kind of behavior is not only for the rest of the soldiers, but also for the group of self-respecting Javanese people on the beach.

At this time, the king of Java, not only did he not dare to open his eyes, but in short, he closed his eyes like this, and also folded his hands and chattered, as if he wanted to express the guilt in his heart.

But the fleet did not know at this time, and while they were holding this ceremony, the king of the west, who was meditating, sent two ships and a group of envoys to sail to the Central Plains with several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

And a few months later, when this group of envoys came to the capital, just before meeting them to ask for the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, they were severely taught a lesson by the guards of the palace.

After this, the emperor met with these foreign envoys.

However, because the other party's behavior had violated the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor ordered them to compensate 60,000 taels of gold to set an example.

And just two years later, the envoy of the King of the West only trembled and brought 10,000 taels of gold to the capital again.

This is not because the country of Java regrets it, but because they are a small island country, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they can't find 60,000 taels of gold.

However, just when these Javanese envoys entered Beijing again with the determination to die, the emperor from the Heavenly Empire only threw them a word.

"I knew that you couldn't raise anything, and I wanted you to pay compensation, just so that you would know what crime you had committed. Am I still missing all this gold and silver? ”。

Subsequently, these envoys all bowed down and thanked them with sincerity.

Since then, the state of Java has begun to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year from the bottom of its heart.

But to sum up, it's all an afterthought.

And not long after the two fleets sent by the King of the West went ashore, another ship, also in the same place, left the shore.

After the ship was offshore, an incomparably huge black flag was raised.

The black flag was blowing wantonly in the sea breeze, as if to announce to the world who was the master of this sea.

And the front and back of this black flag are embroidered with a large white letter.

"Chen"
