Chapter 928: National Treasure of Ceylon
To be honest, after seeing the military strength of the Chinese, Ashvila was very afraid of war between the two countries!
Once a war begins, it will be disastrous. The key is that most of the people in Kandy should die.
In the past, when fighting with the Portuguese, the Kandys could not break through the Portuguese firepower, but the Portuguese were few, and thousands of troops could not penetrate into the interior of Kandy. Even if they came, they could not guarantee the line of communication, and eventually they had to retreat.
The Chinese are extremely strong. They are full of soldiers when they look at the past. They are very young and full of firearms. Ashvila has seen their flintlocks, which have a certain degree of waterproofing. They can also be used in rain and fog. It is very cruel.
With so many troops, it really means where to fight, and the Chinese deliberately scared him, let Ashvila know that the Marines and mountain infantry in the Chinese army sequence can conduct jungle warfare, so that the Kandys can use it to deal with the white skins. The biggest reliance is gone...
When the two countries concluded a treaty, Ashvila really breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially when he saw that senior Chinese officials have a respectful attitude towards Buddhism, far better than European white-skinned people!
The European white-skins came here with a little Jesus, holding "Nervous" in his hand, and he was very nervous/ill, claiming "Believe me and I will be saved, if I don't believe me, I will (send you) to hell!" It was very unhappy with the Kandy people.
The Chinese are quite nice. They respect the local religions. They deserve to come from the place where the Buddha’s holy light is shrouded. Everyone can communicate.
Mr. David became the first to enter the holy temple and pay homage to the white skin of the Buddha Tooth!
In fact, it was also Yan Changwu's care for him that allowed him to stay famous in Chinese history!
Kandy people don't know that Mr. David is really a strange flower among white skins. He is an out-and-out egg man with white skin and yellow heart. He does not have the arrogance of white skin at all, but is as gentle and gentle as a Chinese.
He paid homage to the tooth of the Buddha and gave 10,000 silver dollars on behalf of Yan Changwu. He put his palms together and said to the Kandy people: "I am very happy to come to a country infiltrated by Dharma. It is a Buddha country with lotus flowers in full bloom. It makes people happy. Longing for it!"
Listening to his words, the people of Kandy were very happy!
...
The Chinese were strong, and Kandy Prime Minister Ashvila accompanied them throughout the whole journey, leading them around.
Although the area of Ceylon is small, it is located in the tropics, with dense jungles and numerous species.
They saw the famous elephant concentration area in Kandy. It is located 30 miles west of the holy city of Kandy. There are a large number of fruit trees planted there, which can provide sufficient food for the elephants, and there is a wide stream passing by. , So there is a water source.
When I got there, it was just in time for the elephants to bathe. The elephants came out of the yard and looked at the stream.
The Kandy people regard elephants as a national treasure. Elephants have a high status in the Kandy kingdom. The elephants living here are carefully taken care of, and specially designated to feed and bathe them.
The elephants happily played in the water and started their happy afternoon.
These elephants are light and watery, and obviously eat well.
That’s right, they are fed, and Kandy people would rather hungry themselves than feed these big guys.
If it were not for natural conditions, the elephants' fertility would be low, otherwise the Kandy people would starve to death first.
In fact, Mr. David saw that the Kandy people were very good, but they were full of smiles when they were feeding the elephants, as if they were treating their own children.
The people of Kandy are reluctant to call elephants to work. Elephants have only one purpose, that is, to act as a war elephant. Either win victory on the battlefield or die with the owner!
Perhaps it is these elephants that the Kingdom of Kandy can see. When they charge into battle, they are majestic and impactful.
In the afternoon, Ashville asked Mr. David to get on the elephant's back together and stalked in the jungle. All the leopards, tigers and wolves who were passing by would make way for them!
"Our elephants are enough to trample on the Portuguese, so that they dare not attack us!" Ashvila proudly said: "The elephants are not afraid of bullets, they can trample the Portuguese into mud!"
Ashville said these words in order to deter the Chinese. Mr. David said in a friendly manner: "May the elephants not be in battle, and peace to come here, so that the flames of war will not reach the holy land of the Buddha!"
I thought to myself that you elephants are like behemoths. It’s easy for labor and management to break them. Yes, elephants are not afraid of bullets, but labor and management only need to set fire in front of the battle. Although the elephants are raised by Asan, they don’t have Asan. The kind of ability to step on fire barefoot like a stroll in the courtyard with the oil of God, they are afraid of fire, they retreat when encountering fire, and labor and management use guns to shoot again. Elephants not only do not attack labor and management, but also trample on themselves and control their forces. It was a big defeat!
Do not believe? Come and try!
"According to you, I hope so!" Ashville said happily without knowing Mr. David's bad thoughts.
...
After the visit, on the return trip, Mr. David and Yan Le were sitting on the carriage and the road was very difficult. Yan Le complained: "I can’t figure out why Uncle Wu (Yan Changwu) called me to the poor country here. The largest city on this island is inferior to our third-tier cities!"
Mr. David smiled and said: "The leader wants you to come, to see the world, to cultivate your temperament, so that you should not be so warlike, but be calm and calm!"
"You're really right. If I live here for a while, I won't have the power to bomb, and I won't be warlike at all!" Yan Le shouted. He complained about poor food and a lot of vegetarian food. A banana leaf is just one. Bowl, want to eat? Grab it with your hands
Follow the local customs, and the local food is very popular with Asan. Although everyone has not yet arrived in Asan, it is basically imaginable.
The food of Ah San is mainly curry, which tastes spicy. When they attend the state banquet, the waiter spreads a banana leaf in front of them, and then serves rice and curry, and they are ready to eat. No knife, fork, spoon, chopsticks, any tableware, want to eat?
Please grasp it with your hands, so Yan Le can only learn from the beginning, stir evenly with your hands, grasp the food with your hands, and deliver the food as gracefully as possible!
He commented: "I believe that we will be undefeated against the Kandy people and Asan!"
"HY?" Mr. David asked.
"We eat meat, they are vegetarian, we are stronger than them. We use chopsticks, they are an evolved nation, they have just evolved from the birth!" Yan Le smiled authentically.
Mr. David deeply agreed with the authentic saying: "We Chinese will definitely be invincible in the world. We have used chopsticks thousands of years ago, and European white skin also eats with our hands now!"
It is not to slander the European white skin, the large-scale use of knives and forks is a later development, and now it is also used by hands, even the French King Louis XIV will use chopsticks!
With a "pop" ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it was Yan Le who killed a mosquito in the carriage and beat him with blood!
With plenty of food and clothing, Yan Le took out the ointment and rubbed it on himself. He groaned and said, "The mosquitoes here are fierce enough, and they are still itchy. I put a layer of ointment on it."
He guessed: "What do you do if those high monks bite mosquitoes while they are sitting? Or mosquitoes do not dare to bite them?"
Naobu thought of the scene of the monk shaking his body left and right when he was bitten by a mosquito, Yan Lele was overwhelmed, and Mr. David couldn't help but smile.
"That's right!" Yan Le asked, "You are very polite to them, is it Uncle Wu's order?"
"In fact, it doesn't have to be this way, I can turn their elephant into a dead elephant with a single charge, and take it back to the barbecue!" Yan Le said ashamedly.
Fortunately, there are all Chinese around. If Kandy people hear him, I am afraid that no matter what envoy he is, he will be dragged out and let him die!
So he has been criticized by Mr. David of course!
