Part 4 The Journey Chapter 185 Hot Rain Yangon (1)

Even the pouring rain at the height of the rainy season could not hide the golden splendor of the tower......

"This Ruiguang Pagoda is really 100 meters high?"

In the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Fuhui Temple, a general with a square face and a broad forehead, lofty eyebrows, but a wise and quiet temperament pointed to the huge golden stupa in the rain curtain, and asked the man beside him who seemed to be a monk but not a monk.

The man was dressed in an earthy red linen robe, but inside he was wearing a navy blue Imperial Chinese Army general's uniform, with a black patent leather pistol holster hanging from the belt around his waist, but he was holding a handful of Buddhist beads in his hand, and he did not wear a hat, revealing his shaved head.

I saw the bald man close his eyes slightly, count the prayer beads with both hands, and muttered like a sutra: "This pagoda was built 2,500 years ago by the Burmese people with eight Buddha hairs given by the Buddha to store this holy treasure." When it was first built, it was only slightly larger than the ordinary pagoda, and after more than 2,000 years of repairs by successive dynasties, it became this magnificent appearance when King Xin Piaoxin was more than 200 years ago. According to the foreigners' investigation, its height is 112 meters, the top of the tower is inlaid with 5,000 diamonds, 2,000 gems, the tower is decorated with 1,000 gold bells, 400 silver bells, and the tower body is affixed with 7,000 kilograms of gold leaf...... With the greed and shamelessness of the British, this tower is still intact to this day, which shows the power of our Buddha's compassion. ”

This is Yangon, the former capital of the Burma province of British India.

The Shwedagon Pagoda, a sacred Buddhist site, is located on the highest vantage point of Yangon, and this magnificent and magnificent sacred pagoda can be seen from all corners of the city of Yangon.

The Chinese-style Fuhui Temple is located on the left side of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Ruiguang, which was donated by overseas Chinese in Myanmar during the Guangxu period of the former Qing Dynasty, and was originally a place where many overseas travelers made wishes and prayed, but at this time the temple was full of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and there was not a single monk believer. The reason for this is that the square-faced general and the bald man on the Scripture Pavilion are none other than the former. It was Xiao Ruhai, the Marquis of Wuping, who commanded the Burmese Front of the East Asian Alliance to fight more than 100,000 troops into Burma, and was only 47 years old this year; The latter is the only remaining free body of the Burmese royal family - the nephew of the last Burmese king Xipao, Jiang Kuo, who is now 48 years old, but has been the "Commander-in-Chief of Burma" for 20 years.

After listening to Jiang Kuo's introduction, Xiao Ruhai folded his hands and bowed to the giant tower.

"I hope that in the future, this holy place of Buddha spirit will not be poisoned by foreign people again."

Jiang Kuo calmly looked at the holy pagoda from afar, and recited softly: "The land of the Buddha." The breeze blows. Treasure Row Tree. and Poro.com. Make subtle notes. Like a hundred thousand kinds of music...... He who. Naturally, all of them have the heart of reciting the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha......"

After the recitation was closed, Xiao Ruhai asked: "Is it the Amitabha Sutra?" ”

Jiang Kuo nodded: "Exactly, presumably Commander Xiao is also quite accomplished in Buddhism?" ”

Xiao Ruhai shook his head slightly: "I don't dare to be, it's just that insiders love to eat fasting and chant Buddha." I'll piggyback on one or two......"

Jiang Kuo smiled slightly: "Presumably Commander Xiao and his wife have a very good relationship. ”

Xiao Ruhai clasped his hands together again: "Thanks to the blessing of the Buddha." ”

Jiang Kuo nodded with a smile, twisted the Buddha beads and approached the pavilion window, and suddenly let go of the Buddha beads with one hand and stretched out the window, letting the June heat rain in Yangon wash over his black thin but powerful arm.

"It's been thirty years, it's been thirty years, and I can finally return to my homeland and look at this majestic pagoda again...... What more could you ask for......"

Even when he said these excited words, Jiang Kuo's expression was still as calm as air, as if the pain of losing his country that had been brewing for thirty years had numbed his facial nerves......

Xiao Ruhai saw it in his eyes. I was emotional.

The last dynasty of Myanmar, from its inception to its demise. Although it is not a flash in the pan, it is "its prosperity and prosperity, and its death and decline".

The Gongbang Dynasty born in 1752, after the first general strategy, not only immediately lifted the "shackles" of the Fu**, but also gave strong assistance in terms of funds, equipment, training, intelligence and other aspects with unprecedented enthusiasm, and before the outbreak of the European War, the vast Fu** organization had grown from a few hundred people to thousands of people, organized into 3 infantry battalions and a number of special service detachments.
