"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 civil and military officials. The translator whispered to him and translated to him every sentence of the edict read by Zheng He.
Listen. "" Alejandro listened to the Ming Emperor's admonitions, and he was so arrogant that he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed. It was just because he had already been calculating, 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: "Today, I give the King of Ceylon a gold-woven silk tapestry, a gold-embroidered dragon robe, a gold-plated curtain, and an umbrella cover.
Grace…”
"Your Majesty, Ali Kuner, thank you, His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"
After listening to Zheng He pronounce the edict, Alejandro 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 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. Angels would like to invite you to sit down in my royal garden first!"
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 four hundred cavalry and nearly a hundred 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 pay much attention to the Ming Dynasty because the country is rich and has a long history. It does not care about Zhu Di's rewards. Zhu Di rewarded
What he has is nothing more than gold-woven silk fabrics, gold-embroidered dragon robes, gold-plated curtains, yellow umbrella canopies and other ceremonial utensils. How can he take them 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 fled.
After winning his life, he was determined to avenge Chen Zuyi, so he ran to the Kingdom of Ceylon and slandered Alejandro, telling how the Chinese envoy relied on his military strength to become so domineering.
They knew that this alone would not necessarily impress Aleksinel. Knowing that he was greedy, they also told the Ming Dynasty that the envoys were coming and wanted to trade with the West. They brought with them many precious goods, including Chinese musk, silk, colored silk, and porcelain.
Copper coins, camphor and other items are all extremely popular goods in the country. This statement really impressed Ale Coinelle. The latest chapter of the church
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 follow the poisonous plan. Although Aleksandr was in his heart
He is not in awe of 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 Ming Dynasty fleet in one fell swoop.
He was very tempted by the many properties that Chen Zuyi Yudang 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 looked towards the garden wall built with boulders. They saw a beautiful woman in a short colorful dress, with her abdominal muscles and calves exposed, her feet bare, and a copper bell tied to her ankle. She was horrified, her face full of fear.
It was tears, 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 fast
The ground held her arm.
"Please, my lord, 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 attache stood on the garden wall, looked down, smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
There are few exotic flowers and plants in the royal garden of Ale Coinelle. Instead, there are many tigers, leopards, lions and elephants, no less than a hundred of each. "" He is cruel by nature, and the officials and the people will kill him if they offend him at the slightest.
He raised too many ferocious beasts, so he simply skipped all other punishments and fed them all to ligers and tigers.
This maid fanned Aleksinel, 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 122 tigers, 127 lions, and 200 leopards... Hmm, how many are they?"
Alejandro introduced it to Zheng He with a smile. Zheng He looked moved after hearing this and said, "Just to raise these many beasts, you need to feed them a lot of flesh and bones 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 looked into the lion garden. The lions had dispersed, and there was 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 would have known that there had just been a lively girl who had satiated the lions here.
kiss.
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. When Dingqing looked again, he saw a bloody footbell not far away, in the sunlight.
There was a faint light shining underneath. Zheng He was slightly startled, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Zheng He leaning towards the garden to watch, Aleksandr 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 his 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 he often robbed passing merchant ships, which caused the trade to be somewhat depressed than before, the trade was still very prosperous compared to 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.
He saw all kinds of business travelers, and among them 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 privately.
Anyone who slaughters a cow will be put to death immediately, so cows are more noble than humans here.
Many merchants have 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. He 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, 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 commodities 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 you look at me, do I look like I'm carrying a bunch of porcelain with me?"
The cargo owner's eyes suddenly 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, then turned to look at Tang Sai'er. Tang Sai'er's eyes had already drifted to the side, as if he didn't care about the necklace. Xia Xun smiled and said, "Okay, come with me."
, this one, this one, these are all 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 turned up unconsciously.
At the pier, the waves lap gently on the embankment, and the battleships rise and fall gently.
Xia Xun held a high-grade porcelain plate in his hand 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 gritted his teeth and was so unwilling to give up, but after all he couldn't stand the strong temptation brought to him by the Chinese porcelain plate. 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 and 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...
