Chapter 927: The call of the Buddha!
? Now that the two kings have decided on this plan, everything is easy to discuss, and the next thing is going to be solved like a broken bamboo.
The two parties agreed that the sovereignty of Colombo belongs to the Kingdom of Kandy, so the Kingdom of Kandy regained its land;
The Kingdom of Kandy leased a total of 400 square kilometers of land in the Greater Colombo area of 20 kilometers × 20 kilometers to the southeast country for a period of 99 years and the rent is 100 pounds of silver per year;
The southeastern country can exercise jurisdiction in the leased area, can freely station troops and conduct business, and Kandy people have the right to enter and exit the city of Colombo;
The previous one-year labor period for the citizens of Colombo city was cancelled;
The southeast country will assist the kingdom of Kandy to unify Ceylon, expel all foreign troops, and retake all foreign land occupied by Ceylon to the kingdom of Kandy, and the southeast country shall not be allowed to garrison another army;
The two countries respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence;
The two countries pledge to take all measures to prevent any country from invading another country. If any country is invaded by another country, the other country will provide military and other assistance.
Develop personnel, economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries;
...
Mr. David represents the Southeast and Ashves on behalf of the Kingdom of Kandy signed the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance between the Kingdom of the Southeastern Kingdom and the Kingdom of Kandy, which will come into force after being confirmed by Yan Changwu and Raje Singh II!
Someone brought rum, and Yan Changwu toasted with a smile on his face: "We will be brother countries in the future! Come on, cheers!"
Raj Singh II barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Come on, cheers!"
He just made a major decision and completely fell to the southeast. It does not look bad at the moment. In an additional treaty, the Kingdom of Kandy received a grant of two million silver dollars, that is, the donation is not repaid, and it is given to him for nothing. Yes, an interest-free loan of 100,000 silver dollars, with a repayment period of 20 years, he can do whatever he wants.
There is also an interest-free loan of 100,000 silver dollars, with the same repayment period of 20 years, which is used to designate the construction of roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects leading to the city of Colombo in Kandy.
At the same time, the two sides develop trade, and the southeast countries will export a large amount of materials to the Kingdom of Kandy. They will give whatever they need!
Ceylon has a long-standing reputation for gemstones and will export large amounts of gemstones to the Southeast.
The southeast countries provided Kandy with a sum of military aid, half sold and half given to Kandy 5,000 flintlocks, 30 6-pounder guns, 10,000 rounds (including gunpowder), armor and other equipment, and another 100 A instructor went to teach in the army of the Kingdom of Kandy.
Respect each other's religions and promote mutual visits of Buddhism between the two countries.
...
The subjects of the Kandy Kingdom were in a dream, so the king sold himself?
The generals of the southeast country knew that giving the Kingdom of Kandy such a treatment 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 men can be seen from the use of the silver dollars.
Hey, everyone knows those silver dollars, what did Raj Singh II do for them?
He spent most of his silver dollars on building Buddhist temples!
Therefore, the answer lies in the religion of the Kandy Kingdom---Buddhism!
This involves Yan Changwu's attitude towards religion. He believes that Buddhism is a tolerant religion and countries that believe in Buddhism deserve attention.
Yes, there are mainly Sinhalese people in Ceylon. Most of them believe in Buddhism. They have a peaceful personality, pious and pure thinking, and are not extreme. Yan Changwu believes that after the two parties sign a peace agreement, the Ceylon people will follow their promises and not agree with them. He went to war.
Later facts proved that he was right. No matter how the domestic situation and the international situation change, the Ceylon people will keep their promises and do not think about the city of Colombo.
In his own name, Yan Changwu donated 10,000 silver dollars of incense money to the important Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in the Kingdom of Kandy, and sent the important minister Mr. David to pay respects to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple on his behalf!
...
The holy city of Kandy!
120 kilometers northeast of Colombo, also known as Mahanuwala, was built in the 14th century by Vikramabahu, the monarch of the Kingdom of Kandy. In 1592, Stilanka became the capital of Kandy.
It is located in the center of southern Sri Lanka. It is surrounded by mountains with rare plant species. It is located in a tropical plant growth zone and has beautiful scenery by the mountains and rivers.
When Mr. David arrived in Kandy, he saw the lush trees in the city, the houses were mostly surrounded by green, and the mountains were often not seen on the road. Both sides were full of green. Some old trees had mottled bark, intertwined roots, and broad roots exposed. The ground stretches out to all directions.
He saw groups of monkeys. There were little squirrels, monkeys, and peacocks running around. Old cows were lying on their backs. Various beautiful birds flew above their heads. Man and nature are in harmony, and man and animals live in harmony. Animals are not afraid. people.
Mr. David belongs to a big food empire, and he is also a glutton who is close to those Cantonese who eat everything. He is very miraculous about the scene in front of him!
Hey, hello, Mr. Monkey, so close to us, are you not afraid of being eaten by us?
Perhaps it was because of their bad breath that scared a group of monkeys on the side of the road, screaming and fleeing, not dare to come over!
The Buddhist atmosphere is strong, and the best buildings are the temples, which are exquisite in shape, but not luxurious.
The monks are revered, and the people give way to them when they see it, even some high-ranking officials are no exception.
The local people do not assume that they are "at the feet of the emperor" and dominate others. They are not impatient or impatient. They are slowly passing by like small bridges and flowing water boats, and the pace of life is slow.
When they met, they saluted and smiled sincerely and brightly, which made Mr. David nod secretly.
This is a country dominated by Buddhism. There are many Buddhists and they are very pious!
He and his entourage fasted for three days in Kandy, bathed and changed clothes, solemnly!
Then, accompanied by Prime Minister Ashvila, he went to the Temple of the Tooth Relic to pray for incense.
The Buddha Tooth Temple in Kandy is a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists. In the 4th century AD, the Buddha Tooth of Sakyamuni was welcomed to Sri Lanka. Since then, Sri Lanka has forged an indissoluble bond with the Buddha.
The Temple of Tooth Relic is adjacent to the palace and is built on a rectangular granite foundation. The temple is on the second floor, with creamy white walls and large red-tiled eaves. Although not tall and majestic, it is also solemn and solemn.
The trees in the temple are tall and prosperous, and there are croaking crows with shiny black hair everywhere.
Although the exterior of the temple is not luxurious, the interior architecture is very particular. The ground floor is a hall supported by 26 large wooden pillars and granite rock pillars. The wooden pillars, wooden beams, surrounding walls and ceiling are all painted with pictures reflecting the Buddha's life activities. The colors are bright and the image is lifelike~www.wuxiaspot.com~2nd floor In the middle of the inner hall upstairs, a huge golden sitting Buddha with brilliant golden light is enshrined. In front of the Buddha, there are blossoming lotus flowers and a candle table, filled with incense.
The most sacred place is the tooth room dedicated to the tooth of the Buddha, except for major Buddhist festivals, this room is generally not open to the public.
If it weren't for the noble status of Chinese leader Yan Changwu, Mr. David would not get in at all.
Burning incense to welcome guests, cigarettes swirling around, and the spice that is lit are the precious spice that the Chinese enter and offer!
The monks in the temple, dressed in costumes, grandly received the distinguished guests from the east.
Under their guidance, Mr. David, who did not wear military uniforms and tunic suits, and the deputy envoy Yan Le went into the hall. They knelt down in front of the sacred tooth of the Buddha, paying respects!
Seeing that they were respectful, the guest Ashvila breathed a sigh of relief and expressed heartfelt gratitude: "This is the call of the Buddha!"
