Chapter 700: Aboriginal King, send me to Guangzhou to enjoy happiness (please subscribe!)

"The Eight-Nation Allied Forces mobilized, and the ships of all countries and the ships of the Dutch East India Company formed a formation and went to practice near the island of Ceylon together!"

Bentinck said bravely, "He doesn't believe that the Ming army in Ceylon really dared to open fire on the merchant ships of the united Western countries, unless they really want to cut off trade and all diplomacy with the West!"

Bentinck made an impulsive decision at the request of Camferzis, the governor of the Dutch East India Company.

Of course, Thomas secretly revealed that decision to the guard next to him who was dressed as an Englishman.

…

Former capital of Ceylon, Colombo.

While Bentinck was mobilizing the fleet of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, Jaya I, the last king of Ceylon, was discussing something with his small court officials.

Jaya I was confused because his masters, the Dutch, had been driven away, and a group of Ming people came inexplicably. They claimed to be the suzerainty of Ceylon and came to liberate his people.

Can I liberate him and liberate his king?

He hurriedly studied the history of the East and found out that the Ming Dynasty was really the suzerainty of Ceylon. Even the king was kidnapped to the Ming Dynasty to repent.

The force value is quite amazing, not easy to mess with!

The person who came here is not a good person, but he wouldn't dare to rebel against Mei Xuan at the risk of offending Ming to death.

After all, the Dutch all beat the Dutch, and they ran away without even daring to fight. His family, Jaya I, was full of stinky fish and rotten shrimps, so how could he resist the Ming Dynasty?

For the sake of Ming Dynasty, he denied being cowardly and prayed to Ming Dynasty to let him become a rich man safely. Anyway, his king was not worthy of his name.

All the discussions with the ministers turned out to be: Ma Liu was ready to welcome the Ming army into the city. If it was late, he would be afraid of giving a bad impression to the Ming Dynasty!

The next day, the gongs of Colombo City were ringing loudly, and the sound of horse hooves was heard.

Accompanied by the solemn and evasive sounds of Teochew-accented Chinese and Yue-style Chinese, Chen Peilin, the governor of Ceylon in the Ming Dynasty, arrived at his loyal city of Colombo with a well-ordered Ming army.

Ceylonese natives wearing collarless jackets and trousers crowded on both sides of the narrow streets.

They had no idea what was happening, but they knew that a group of people who were braver than the Dutch were coming.

Moreover, their humble king and Ceylon ministers actually took the lead in kneeling to the east of those Ming people.

The Ceylonese people, who knew how to respect the inferior and the inferior, also hurriedly followed suit, fearing that they would be punished by the adults if they knelt too slowly.

"Everyone kneels down. Those who come here have heard about the governor of their suzerain country hundreds of years ago!"

"Hundreds of years ago, that was too far away!"

"Not too far away, not too far away. The key is whether the Ming Dynasty is strong enough. They should be careful not to offend the Ming Dynasty soldiers."

The Ceylonese people kneeling in the east discussed carefully. Some Ceylonese people couldn't help but look up and see how powerful the soldiers of the sovereign country were from hundreds of years ago.

The Ceylonese who looked up found that one group of heavenly soldiers was tall and one group was short.

Bu Nao, Bu Nao, the heavenly soldiers of different heights formed a strict formation with their chests held high and their heads held high!

They all wore shining breastplates and shining silver helmets, and carried living guns with bayonets.

The bayonets of the muskets were glowing with cold light, which made the people of Ceylon shudder!

Just looking at that move, I am sure he is better than the Dutch!

Their king, Jaya I, looked servile and servile when he met Chen Peilin.

Jaya I felt bitter, after all, his request to be king had come to an end, and he could not resist.

Chen Peilin happily inspected his new territory.

But the new site is very disappointing!

It also lacks seaside scenery and is thousands of miles away from Guangdong.

Most of them are bamboo and wood huts, but there are a few decent houses dotted among them.

Although Colombo is located close to the equator, it has a tropical climate.

However, due to the effect of the sea breeze, the climate is pleasant, with high temperatures but no intense heat. The average annual temperature is around 27°C, and the annual precipitation is 2,300 mm. Except for the mountains, other places are hot all year round.

The climate is mild and humid most of the year, with abundant rainfall, green trees outside the city, and pleasant scenery.

Fortunately, the population is quite large, and the streets are narrow, but not crowded.

Most of the people on the island of Ceylon are Sinhalese, as opposed to the Aryans of mainland Tianzhu. Although their skin color is a bit darker, according to Chen Peilin's observation, the girls on the island of Ceylon generally have three-dimensional and beautiful facial features.

It seems that his journey as Governor of Ceylon will not be too lonely.

That's what Chen Peilin thought. He was only in his twenties and left his hometown to come to South Tianzhu. He couldn't do it without having some fun!

It's better to play with Tianzhu women than to corrupt the people of Ming Dynasty!

There are no bright spots in the entire island of Ceylon. Looking around, Colombo looks poor.

Even the Royal Palace of Ceylon in the distance exudes a petty atmosphere.

At that time, Chen Peilin had already arrived at the gate of the palace accompanied by Jaya I.

Looking at the small and dilapidated palace in front of him, Chen Peilin smiled and said to King Jaya I: "King Jaya, the great Ming sage knows that our Ceylon royal family has suffered in those years. If you are not bullied by Portugal, you will be bullied."

Dutch bullying!”

There was a local translator next to him, who helped Chen Peilin convey his condolences to King Jaya I very well.

Jaya I does not speak Chinese, but knows a little bit of Dutch.

His mother tongue is Sinhala, which belongs to the Indo-European language family and is similar to the languages ​​in northern Tianzhu.

Hearing Chen Peilin's words, Jaya I smiled apologetically, and said in his heart: Our Ming Dynasty is more cruel than the Portuguese and Dutch, right?

"Is the Ming Sage a benevolent king? He has already bought me a house in Guangzhou, the international metropolis of the Ming Dynasty, and will send me there to enjoy my happiness in a few days!"

After listening to this, Jaya I was so excited, his legs were shaking, and he burst into tears.

In the end, not only was his position as king lost, but he was also placed under house arrest in a foreign country.

"King Jaya, I am quite sensible. I was so happy that I burst into tears!"

Chen Peilin obviously misunderstood.

The local Ming Dynasty businessman next to him looked at Jaya I with envy.

He arched his legs and said in Sinhala: "King Jaya, congratulations on my getting rich!"

"Sir, they have no grievances and they often help my business. Why do I even cancel them?"

Jaya I almost ran out of tears and his voice was hoarse.

"Why are you kidding me? You must know that with the development speed of Guangzhou Prefecture, a house in Guangzhou Prefecture in the future may not be able to buy the entire island of Ceylon!"

Businessmen in Ming Dynasty were wrong and were very confident that house prices in Ming Dynasty were rising.

After hearing such exaggerated words, Jaya I finally calmed down and came to the east, pestering the Ming businessman to tell him the information about Guangzhou.

After listening to the description of Ming Dynasty's development, Jaya I thought to himself: Maybe the emperor's grace is really so great. After all, he wanted to kill him. With Ming Dynasty's strength, he could just do it casually, there was no need to trick him.

Thinking of that, he ran to find Chen Peilin who was happily visiting the palace.

King Jaya I imitated the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and bowed to Chen Peilin. He said with a grateful face: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his kindness, the ministers, officials and people in the country will never forget it!"
