Chapter 823
From Luzhu's point of view, every palace in India is very similar to a temple. Statues of Hindu gods are everywhere, and many of the statues are gilded. If the gold from these statues were scraped off and converted into grain, it would probably
Enough to feed 10,000 to 20,000 people for a year.
I thought that all Indians embraced Buddhism, but I didn’t know until I arrived in India. There is not much market for Sakyamuni and Guanyin Bodhisattva here. Instead, there are some Buddhas whose green beads cannot be described or recognized.
The most powerful one has a long trunk, which looks like an elephant. This guy has the most statues, and there is a long statue like this along the porch. It is said that this guy is the God of Wealth in Hinduism, no wonder he is so popular.
India is a very magical country in Lvzhu's opinion. If a woman in the family disobeys her husband's wishes, her face will be cut, and her nose and ears will even be cut off.
There are many such veiled women on the street, and naughty children will throw rubbish and stones at them. These women are like mice, walking through the streets dejectedly, and if they are not careful, they will be scolded and beaten severely by others.
The temple is a magical existence here. You can see a huge number of rats drinking rice porridge from a pot. Obviously people outside are starving, but those Indians offer rice porridge to the rats and not to those who eat it.
A child who is about to starve to death.
Saints are a joke here, they are no different from prostitutes. In the temple, Luzhu saw countless happy Buddhas in various strange postures. It is said that the saints have tried it.
The streets are full of people and shit. There are horses, cows, donkeys, chickens, and even humans. In the center of the city, you can easily see more than five kinds of animals.
Animals, walking together with people.
The beggars, who were about to starve to death, sat in front of the restaurant and waited. They sat cross-legged on the ground and were very orderly without fighting or grabbing. At first, Luzhu even thought this was some kind of activity organized by the king.
The most unbearable thing for Luzhu is the water here. Indians call the Ganges the mother river. They not only drink the water from the mother river, but also bathe in the mother river, and some even pee while bathing.
What's even more outrageous is that after death, people have to return to the embrace of the mother river. Luzhu has seen it with his own eyes. Not far up there, the dead are put in burning boats and burned beyond recognition. Some people in the lower reaches do this.
water for bathing and even washing rice for cooking.
Oh my god! What the hell is the difference between this and drinking human soup!
Crows can often be seen pecking at human remains on the shore. Many times, the waves will wash out the skeletons of the deceased, which looks very strange.
Lv Zhu felt very nauseous. From that day on, Lv Zhu could only drink milk or goat's milk when she was thirsty.
The Indians looked at this Ming woman in surprise. She drinks milk all day long. These guys prefer to drink cow urine instead of milk.
The rich and powerful live in high-rise courtyards, but the common people have no houses to live in at all.
Rare is the warm weather in India? A lot of family is a mat? When I go to bed at night, put the mat in the ground. The real heaven is a bed as a bed? No wonder there are mosquitoes everywhere here.
The big bumps are extremely itchy. If it weren’t for Fengyoujing’s body protection? Luzhu feels like he will be sucked dry in one day.
Is it okay for men to defecate wantonly on the street? Women actually defecate on the street too. The difference is that men don’t cover anything, while women need to cover their faces.
Luzhu went to a slum in the city once, and the experience was unforgettable. The green water in the stinking ditch was still bubbling. Before walking in, you need to wear a hat with a gauze net.
Are there too many flies? There are so many that it seems like there is a black cloud surrounding you. In the feces on the wall, you can see white maggots squirming. Most of the low houses are made of rammed earth. Many of them are just a few sticks and
A shack built with thatched grass, Luzhu swears. In the Ming Dynasty, even the refugees who suffered disasters were not so miserable.
Children were swimming in a pond full of garbage? Luzhu almost vomited when he saw who it was. A pond where even maggots couldn't survive would actually become a children's playground.
Is India so magical? The common people live worse than mice. The powerful people live better than the prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
These guys eat all day long. Both men and women have big bellies and wear silk produced in Ming Dynasty. All ten fingers are covered with gold rings. Women’s whole body is even more so. Every accessory has to be made of gold.
Okay. Men are not as fussy as women? But when they sit down to comb their beards, they will take out an exquisite gold comb.
They eat four meals a day, and the food is cooked in the kitchen. It is first brought to their table. After they finish eating, the servants will pick up any leftovers. Even the bones are carefully collected.
.
They would use a small millstone to carefully crush the bones, and then mix them with a dark, unknown thing and eat them together.
Here, every little girl lives in fear. What they need to be wary of most are their cousins. Many little girls will be raped by their cousins. Sometimes, they even take turns.
Rape.
Generally, women do not dare to walk on the street after dark. If a woman still dares to go out on the street after dark, she can only be conceited.
This is really a magical country that Lu Zhu cannot understand or understand.
People are divided into four classes: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shuddhas.
Queen Zhangsi and Tipu Sultan are both Brahmins. There are also many Hindu priests who are also Brahmins. Most of their officials are Kshatriyas. Vaishyas can work as low-level civil servants, but Shututu is miserable.
.Many Shututuos are slaves. Let alone freedom, they need the master’s nod to even live.
If people of different castes dare to intermarry, the consequences will be serious. In order to maintain the dignity of the family, fathers will strangle their sons or daughters to death with their own hands.
Or, bury the person directly in the ground.
In their view, Shouduo are not human beings. They are no different from livestock, or they are worse than livestock. At least cattle will have their own funeral, and most Shouduo will not even get a funeral in their lifetime.
After they died, they piled a pile of firewood on the bank of the Ganges and burned it.
When the tide rises, the burned or unburned parts will be washed into the Ganges River to feed fish and shrimps.
Strolling through Queen Zhangxi's palace, incense was lit everywhere. Luzhu was very suspicious that incense was lit in the temple to cover up the strong body odor of Indians. As a woman, Luzhu really didn't understand India.
How did women get through this life?
Queen Zhangxi was wearing a silk robe. A gold chain weighing a kilogram hung around her neck. The crown on her head was even heavier and studded with gems of various colors. Under the candlelight, her entire head shone brightly.
To dazzle people's eyes. Luzhu feels that this is the main function of the crown.
Queen Zhangxi's lower seat sat the burly Sultan Tipu. This guy stood like a mountain. It is said that he is the best cavalry general in India. I really don't know what kind of horse is needed to carry such a heavy body.
Gotta move.
What Lu Zhu did was opposite to them, and it was considered one of the most noble deeds.
Two strong men carried in a fat roasted lamb. The sharp blade flashed and the fat sheep was cut into eight pieces.
The Indian banquet was really off-putting. Everyone used their hands. And only their right hands. Lu Zhu was very envious of them. Their three-fingered skill of grabbing cakes was something Lu Zhu couldn't master even after learning it many times.
India is a very hierarchical country, so strict that each class has its own exclusive food. This is especially obvious when dividing eggs.
The one presented to Queen Zhang Xi is an exaggeration to say it is a dinosaur egg. It is huge in size and has a thick egg skin. It requires someone with a hammer to break it into pieces before it can be eaten.
The one from Tiep Sultan is probably an ostrich egg. It has an amazing appetite, but you can only eat one in a meal.
The green pearl is a bit smaller again, so it is probably a peacock egg.
The kings of the small kingdoms who sat at the head of the table were holding goose eggs, duck eggs, and eggs one by one. Some of them were smaller, and there were eggs as big as quail eggs.
As for those countries with the same size as villages, the eggs on their tables are only the size of fingernails, and I don’t know what kind of eggs they are.
"Everyone! I would like to pay tribute to the distinguished Ms. Luzhu for this glass of wine. It was she who brought us mountains of food, as well as rifles, grenades, and mortars. Now we can not only have full stomachs, but also have food."
The power to fight Wu Sangui.
Everyone! To defeat the powerful Wu Sangui and defeat the British who plunder our wealth, cheers!" Queen Zhang Xi raised her glass and drank it all.
In the glass, the bright red wine was slightly sour. Tired of drinking the green beads of milk, he picked up the glass and drank it down in one gulp.
"Your Majesty the Great Queen, kings from thirteen countries have gathered under your command now. Our Ming Empire, in the past five months, has provided you with food as high as the mountains, as well as various light and heavy weapons.
.
I want to know, when do you want to start a war with Wu Sangui?" Lu Zhu held the wine glass in her hand and looked at the aloof Queen Zhang Xi.
"Of course, since we have obtained so many things, we will naturally go to war when it is time to go to war. Now we are still accumulating strength. If Ming Dynasty gives more supplies, I will order the army to go to war against the British and Gurkhas.
"
Lu Zhu nodded, she was indeed the Queen of Zhang Xi. It looked like this bitch was ready to take off her pants and refuse to admit her fault! She smiled brightly when she got the supplies, but when she asked when the war would start, she refused in every possible way.
"Of course, our Ming army has arrived on the Island of Ceylon one after another. In a few days, the general of the Ming Dynasty will also arrive on the Island of Ceylon. At that time, the Ming army will launch the most violent attack on Wu Sangui.
Our commander-in-chief admires your spirit of resistance very much, and feels that you will be the savior of the Indian nation. He also hopes to fight side by side with a great person like you, and entrusted me to express his most sincere respect to you." Luzhu smiled.
Use diplomatic rhetoric.
"Thank you, Ms. Luzhu, and thank you also to the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. The Indians will never forget you. To Ms. Luzhu, to the commander-in-chief, to the Ming Dynasty, cheers!" Queen Zhang Xi picked up the wine glass again and drank it all.
.
"Cheers!" The people below immediately drank the wine in their glasses.
"Our commander-in-chief also said that the British plundered a large amount of property in India. These things should belong to the Indians. The commander-in-chief said that in future battles, whoever has the greatest military exploits will have priority in obtaining this wealth." Luzhu.
The words were translated into several languages by the speakers and echoed in the hall.
All the kings of the countries present here were in high spirits, as if ten thousand flies had flown in at once, and the sound of "buzz" and "buzz" could not be heard.
Queen Zhang Xi's expression changed, and she glanced at Sultan Tepu who was sitting next to him. Seeing how he was gearing up, she knew in her heart that this guy was tempted.
He sighed softly, this green bead of the Ming Dynasty was really powerful. He used the British property in India as bait to let himself go to war with the British.
She originally thought about whether she could delay it for a few days and see whether Ming Dynasty would send troops and the performance of the Ming army before deciding whether to help Ming Dynasty. But now, she has been roasted on the fire.
The kings of the small states below are all red-eyed. The British have made exorbitant expropriations in India and accumulated a huge amount of wealth. Who doesn't want to get a big share of this? It seems that their delaying plan is about to come to an end.
"Cheers to our upcoming victory!" This time it was Luzhu's turn to raise the glass high.
"To victory! Cheers!"
The kings of the country immediately cheered and cheered. Especially Sultan Tipu shouted the loudest!
The atmosphere of the banquet soon became lively. Queen Zhang Xi clapped her hands. Immediately a large group of dancers came up. These dancers wore very little clothes, and everyone exposed their navel.
Their bodies are so soft, and with the cheerful music, their bellies can shake like waves.
The kings of those small kingdoms began to act wildly, and some of them seemed to be preparing to meditate on the Joyful Buddha in the main hall.
Sultan Tiepu couldn't help but think about Luzhu's toast. He also asked Luzhu if he could recommend a commander to him. He admired the young commander of the Ming Empire.
The banquet was in full swing and everyone was half drunk. Suddenly, the head of Queen Zhang Xi's bodyguard ran in and whispered a few words to Queen Zhang Xi.
Queen Zhang Xi's expression changed drastically, and the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces without holding it.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Luzhu asked with great concern. At the same time, almost everyone's eyes were turned to Queen Zhang Xi. They were also curious about what happened to the Iron Lady.
The famous Queen Zhang Xi was so frightened.
