Full text without advertisements Chapter 1015 The wind does not stop
"You should only respect the way of heaven, abide by my words, follow the rules and regulations, do not violate the rules, do not bully the weak, and do not bully the weak..."
In the main hall of the Kingdom of Ceylon, Zheng He announced the edict loudly. The King of Ceylon, Ali Kunel, took a seat and listened to the edict together with the military officials. The translator whispered to him, translating every sentence of the edict read by Zheng He to him.
Listen.【】(Free download of full-text e-books) When Alejandro listened to the Ming Emperor's admonitions, he was so arrogant that he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed. It was just because he had already been worried about it, so he couldn't bear to say anything.
Zheng He's voice was loud and clear. Because he had to wait for the interpreter to translate his words, he spoke slowly and paused for each sentence: "To show your kindness, I give the King of Ceylon a gold woven silk tapestry, a gold embroidered dragon robe, a gold curtain, and an umbrella canopy."
…”
"Your Majesty the Ming Emperor, Ali Kuner, thank you!"
After listening to Zheng He announcing the edict, Ale Kuner received the edict in a loud voice, took the edict from Zheng He with both hands, handed it to the minister to put it away, and said with a bright smile: "The little king is delighted to hear that the angel has come from far away. He is so happy.
I ordered a large banquet to be held in honor of the angels. The banquet is still being prepared, so please come to the king’s royal garden to sit down, please!”
As Ale Kunel said, he glanced at his son, Prince Senac. Senac understood and quietly escaped from the palace while Zheng He was walking towards the harem with his father. Outside the palace, there were already five hundred soldiers.
Waiting here were about 400 cavalrymen and nearly 100 elephant soldiers. Senac got on his horse, gave the order, and rushed to the port.
The Kingdom of Ceylon is considered one of the very rich and powerful countries in this area, and it is far away from the Ming Dynasty. It does not take the Ming Dynasty seriously because of its rich country and long inheritance. It does not care about Zhu Di's rewards. Zhu Di rewarded
What he has is just gold-woven silk, gold-embroidered dragon clothes, gold-plated curtains, yellow umbrella canopies and other ceremonial utensils. How can he take it seriously?
This place is far away from Chen Zuyi's Bolin Kingdom. Both of them are tyrants, notorious in the surrounding countries, and they are both greedy. There is no conflict of interest with each other, so they have always been in contact with each other and the relationship has always been good. Chen Zuyi was captured, and some remaining party members escaped.
He was determined to avenge Chen Zuyi, so he went to the Kingdom of Ceylon and slandered Alejandro, telling how the envoys of that country were so arrogant and domineering relying on their military strength.
They knew that this alone would not necessarily impress Alejandro, and knowing that he was greedy, they also told the Ming Dynasty that the envoys were coming and wanted to trade in the West. They brought with them many precious goods, including Chinese musk, silk, colored silk, porcelain, and copper coins.
, camphor and other goods are all very popular and in demand in the country. This statement really impressed Ale Coinelle.
The purpose of Chen Zuyi's remnant party was to instigate Aleksandr to attack the Ming fleet. Because they fled in a hurry, they did not know that Chen Zuyi was still alive and imprisoned on the ship, otherwise they would definitely carry out a more vicious plot. Although Aleksandr was heartbroken
He does not fear the Ming Dynasty, but he also knows that the strength of the Ming Dynasty is indeed superior to him, and he has no delusions about destroying the entire Ming Dynasty fleet.
He was very tempted by the many properties that Chen Zuyi Yu Dang said, and he was stingy by nature. He was unwilling to buy gold, silver and jewelry, so he deliberately detained Zheng He and sent his son to the dock to fraudulently obtain the goods. He only said that Zheng He was a reward on behalf of the emperor.
After cheating and getting the goods, Zheng He went back to hear the truth and was not afraid of asking for it. This was his own territory, so he suffered the loss of being dumb. What could he do?
At this time, his son Senac was defrauding goods at the dock just under his father's instructions.
In the lion garden, several male lions were walking lazily in the garden, and suddenly a pitiful cry came from above.
The lions raised their heads one after another and headed towards the garden wall built with huge rocks. A beautiful woman wearing a short colorful dress, with her abdominal muscles and calves exposed, bare feet, and a copper bell tied to her ankles was horrified, with her face full of tears.
, was begging hard on the garden wall. On the left and right, two palace warriors wearing waistcoats, shirtless, wearing turbans decorated with feathers, and baggy shorts, also barefoot, with swords hanging under their ribs, were holding the sword firmly.
Hold her arm.
"Please, sir, please spare me!"
A palace military attache said violently: "You have offended the king, do you still want to live? Throw her down!"
"Please...ah!"
The girl screamed and was thrown off the high platform. She landed heavily. She broke one of her legs. She hurriedly got up before she could escape. The lions that had been waiting for a long time had already surged up. The girl was immediately submerged and was surrounded by the lions.
, after a few rapid screams, there was no sound.
The military attaché stood on the garden wall, looked down, smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
There were few exotic flowers and plants in the royal garden of Ale Coinelle. Instead, he raised many tigers, leopards, lions and elephants, no less than a hundred of each species. He was cruel by nature, and the officials and the people would kill him for the slightest offence.
There were too many ferocious beasts, so I simply skipped all other punishments and fed them all to ligers.
This maid fanned Alecunelle, who was punished by being buried in the belly of an animal because she dozed off while he was sleeping.
After only one stick of incense was taken care of by the palace maid, Aleksune slowly led Zheng He over.
"Haha, I raise one hundred and twenty-two tigers, one hundred and twenty-seven lions, and two hundred leopards... Hmm, how many are they?"
Alejandro introduced it to Zheng He with a smile. Zheng He was moved when he heard it and said, "Just raising these many beasts requires a lot of flesh and blood to be fed every day, right?"
Ale Kunel smiled triumphantly and said: "Our country is rich, and consuming tens of millions of catties of meat every day is nothing."
Zheng He just smiled lightly after hearing this.
Leaning over the platform, Zheng He headed toward the lion garden. The lions had dispersed, leaving only a pool of blood where the girl fell.
Her whole body has been torn to pieces by lions. Some lions have taken bloody pieces of meat and are eating in the corner. At first glance, who knows that a lively girl has just been kissed by lions here.
.
Zheng He's eyes were very sharp. He originally wanted to admire the majestic appearance of the liger, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of a bloody piece of clothing and silk on the grass. After clearing the sky, he saw a bloody footbell not far away, under the sun.
There was a faint light shining there. Zheng He was slightly startled, and a hint of darkness flashed across his eyes.
Seeing Zheng He leaning towards the garden and watching, Ale Kunel suddenly felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart: "If I push like this..., once Zheng He dies, he will be leaderless, and his fleet will not be at my mercy? Go and meet him."
Didn’t the minister say that his fleet of more than 500 ships only has more than a hundred warships? The remaining 400 or so ships are the treasures of the Ming Dynasty! I will become the richest king in the world in one fell swoop! But the Ming Dynasty..."
Alejandro was eager to try, but in the end he did not dare to stretch out his hand.
Zheng He turned around and said calmly: "I have never been interested in jackals, tigers and leopards. I heard that your country's tea is very famous in Nanyang. I would like to try it."

Ceylon has a vast territory, dense population, and rich folk customs. Although the king of this generation was a tyrant and often robbed passing merchant ships, which made the trade a little depressed than before, the trade was still very prosperous compared with other Southeast Asian countries.
At Bieloli Pier, you can see shirtless locals doing business everywhere, and there are many businessmen traveling from north to south.
Seeing all kinds of business travelers, the only ones who could tell him where they were from just by the characteristics of their clothes and clothing were the businessmen from India.
There are many cows walking around leisurely in the crowd. This place believes in Buddhism and respects elephant cows, so this is a paradise for cows. They only eat milk and dare not eat beef. If the cow dies, they can only bury it and slaughter it privately.
Those who eat cows will be killed immediately, so cows are more noble than humans here.
Many merchants have already landed and started doing business with the locals.
Gemstones and pearls were sold at stalls. It was harder to find fakes than real ones these days. Tang Saier gradually grew into a big girl, and gradually awakened her talent for beauty. Xia Xun saw her eyes on the plate.
The plump pearl necklace of the same size lingered on it for a long time. I couldn't help but smile, walked over and asked, "How much does this plate of beads cost?"
After the interpreter finished speaking, the owner looked at Xia Xun while chewing betel nuts, and then carefully looked at his appearance and demeanor, and said slyly: "No, I don't want money. If you like this necklace, then you can exchange it for porcelain."
Low-quality porcelain from the Ming Dynasty is worth more than a hundred guan here, but such a plate of high-quality pearls is not even worth ten guan here. If these two items are brought back to the Ming Dynasty, their prices will be
We have to reverse it, this is the wonder of trade.
Xia Xun knew that he wanted to take advantage of her, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's okay if I exchange it for porcelain, but do you and I look like we are carrying a bunch of porcelain with us?"
The cargo owner's eyes immediately glowed with greed, he spat out the betel nut, grinned, showing a pair of black teeth and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's not far from the port, I can go get it with you."
.”
"Um……"
Xia Xun thought for a while and turned to Tang Sai'er. Tang Sai'er's eyes had already drifted to the side, as if he didn't care about the necklace at all. Xia Xun smiled and said: "Okay, come with me.
This piece, this piece, all these are wrapped up, I want them all!"
On the side, Tang Saier tried hard to keep his face calm, but his eyebrows, eyes, and even the corners of his mouth were all tilted up unconsciously.
At the pier, the waves lap against the embankment, and the warships rise and fall gently.
Xia Xun held in his hand a high-quality porcelain plate that was as thin as a chime, as smooth as jade, as white as fat, with blue and white flowers, and plain flesh and jade bones.
With a bright face: "Do you want to change? If not, just carry your things back!"
The owner of the product gritted his teeth and was so unwilling to give in, but after all he couldn't stand the strong temptation that the Chinese porcelain plate brought to him. He stamped his feet and said in pain: "Change it! Change it! Here it is!"
He stuffed the half bag of pearls and gems into Xia Xun's hand, snatched the porcelain plate, put it in his arms like a treasure, and left without looking back, as if he was afraid that if he looked back, he would be unable to bear it.
Regrettably, this black-hearted Ming businessman exchanged a porcelain plate for five plates of pearls and dozens of gems from him! Although the gems were picked up by him in the mountains, but...
Xia Xun laughed loudly and returned to the bow of the boat, handing the bag to Tang Sai'er, who was looking at him eagerly: "Go, go to the room with your Aunt Ying to choose!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Tang Saier nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and hurriedly pulled Su Ying and ran away.
At this time, Prince Senak appeared at the dock with one hundred elephant soldiers and four hundred cavalry...
