Ariel Kunel suffered a lot. He fell several times along the way, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his arm was broken, and he almost drowned just now.
This is not a port, there is no place to park the ship, and the water on the shore is shallow, the ship does not dare to go deep to avoid running aground, so it can only stop at sea, still fifty steps away from the shore.
Fortunately, I brought a rope from the boat and groped for the rope. Even if the water was not good, I could swim across.
Zhu Neng threw Ariel Kunel into the boat and turned back to the shore.
Zheng He had already led people to pick him up, but seeing that the previous shouts of killing had disappeared from the mountains, he was afraid that the situation was more dangerous. Zhu asked the sergeants from the shore to board the ship, but the sergeants did not follow the instructions and had to wait at the shore. Zhang Yao and others returned.
Time passed little by little, and there were only lights on the mountain, no shouts of death, and the lights, like dragons, were gradually approaching the coast.
Just when Zhu Neng urged the sergeant to board the ship for the third time, Zheng He rushed back with his people.
Zhu Neng hurriedly stepped forward to check, and out of the hundreds of people left behind, only Chen Gouzi and twelve others were left. Even Zhang Yao was injured on the mountain!
"Come aboard!"
Zheng He suppressed his anger and ordered.
The sergeants looked up at the mountains and forests, in deep silence, then turned and went into the sea.
More than a dozen Dafu ships were lined up in a row. Zheng He grabbed the side of the ship with both hands and ordered: "Aim the divine machine cannon at the beach and the nearby mountains and forests!"
Everyone takes action.
Di Lai led his men to chase him, but the Ming army had already boarded the ship, and it was impossible to kill him. Just when Di Lai jumped to his feet and shouted angrily, the divine machine gun sprayed out a beam of light, and then it was annihilated, and the black paint The lacquered flaming stones flew to the shore and exploded!
"not good!"
Di Lai forgot that the Ming army had this trick, and hurriedly ran up the mountain, but who would have thought that this thing had eyes, and it exploded on a rock not far from Di Lai, and a piece of gravel flew out. What a coincidence. Coincidentally, it hit Di Lai right between the eyebrows.
Skull, broken.
Zheng He did not give the order to stop, so the divine machine gun kept firing. Even if it was watered to cool down, the temperature of the barrel could not be lowered. Zhu Neng knew that if it continued like this, it would probably explode, so he quickly advised Zheng He to stop.
Zheng He looked at the coast, raised his hand and said: "Send off to the brothers, let's have another round, and then return to Hong Kong."
Zhu Neng watched as the coast was once again covered with cannon rocks. It had become a hell. This round of attacks killed at least a thousand people on the other side. As for those who jumped into the sea, there was really no time to care about them.
The fleet turned around, and it was already dawn when they returned to the port of Beloli. Zhang Yu, Luo Guanying and others who were cleaning the battlefield and sorting out the prisoners saw the returning Zheng He fleet and hurriedly lined up on the shore.
Zheng He came out, Zhu Neng came out, and other generals also came out.
Luo Guanying watched and watched, frowning, and before Zheng He could speak, he stepped forward and asked, "Where is Zhang Yao?"
Zheng He stared at Luo Guanying with a solemn expression: "His name will remain on the monument to the heroes of the Ming Dynasty!"
Luo Guanying looked at Zheng He in surprise, her hands trembling slightly and her eyes red. Although the two often quarreled, they also formed a deep friendship, but now, he is gone!
Zhao Shiyu, Yuan Yichen, Shen Wei, Wan Qinglin and others couldn't help but feel sad when they heard this.
"Zhang Yao led fifty men to block more than a thousand people from Di Lai, but unfortunately died in the battle. They are good men of our Ming Dynasty and real heroes!" Zheng He shouted, his voice a little hoarse: "I believe you are also good men, good Man, you will bleed but not shed tears!”
Luo Guanying raised his head, looked at the sky, then turned around, picked up a steel knife from the ground, and walked towards the prisoner.
"Luo Guanying, stop!"
Zheng He shouted.
Luo Guanying paused for a moment, then quickened his pace and ran over, slashing at the captured sergeant!
Puff puff!
Everyone's head rolled off!
Ding!
Luo Guanying felt her hands go numb, turned to look at Zhu Neng with red eyes, and shouted, "You want to stop me?"
Zhu Neng's eyes turned red and he said: "I don't want to stop you, but the military order is here, and those who kill captives without permission will be severely punished! We are civilized divisions, don't forget our mission!"
"Fuck your mission, I just want to destroy the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom!"
Luo Guanying avoided Zhu Neng and slashed with his sword!
puff!
Zhu Neng kicked Luo Guanying away, and the steel knife in Luo Guanying's hand came out. He was breathing hard, and finally took a breath. Just as he was about to get up, he saw Zheng He's cold face.
"Come here, lock up Luo Guanying!"
Zheng He ordered.
Shen Wei looked at the sergeant on the side, who had no choice but to step forward, lift Luo Guanying up, and lock her into the cabin.
Zheng He looked at the dead prisoners, picked two of them, and said, "When I return, I will bring the message to Yebanai and tell him to send the body of the Ming Dynasty sergeant in exchange for the prisoners. In less than a day, the Ming Dynasty will not mind returning." Let’s go to the palace.”
The prisoners left, taking away Zheng He's murderous orders.
The reason why Zheng He asked someone to send a message to Yebanai was because he felt that this person was not simple. It doesn't matter if Yebanai didn't pass the news to Di Lai, the worst he can do is lead the main force to fight in again!
Yebanai received the words from the prisoners and also received the news of Di Lai's death. The Kingdom of Ceylon had suffered extremely serious losses in just a few days. Samara, Silva and Ratne were all unconvinced. , wants to establish himself as king.
But there was no chance for them.
Yebanai, who has always been honest and honest, stood up and led countless believers and people to besiege the royal city. Just to say a word, Yalie Kuner was violent and unworthy of being a king. Now that the Ming Dynasty has captured him, it is the result of the manifestation of Buddhism. It is the retribution of Ariel Kunel. In the final analysis, it is not Daming's fault, but Ariel Kunel's fault.
If it hadn't been for Ariel Kunel's idea of Ming Dynasty, how could it have caused such a disaster?
The people have suffered greatly, why are they still being bullied by you?
Removing officers, re-electing officers, making peace with the Ming Dynasty, treating the people well, and converting to Buddhism is the path that the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom should take, instead of continuing to oppress the people, plunder merchants, and fight against the Ming Dynasty.
Even though Samara, Silva, Ratne and others have troops in their hands, they are no match for Yebanai at this moment, because there are too many believers in Yebanai, and they don’t know when. All these people who were scattered on the island rushed over, at least fifty or sixty thousand people, and the entire royal city was almost filled to the brim.
Yebanai was not the king, but he was the only person who could control the situation after the king was captured and Di Lai was killed.
Samara, Silva and others gave up and turned their allegiance to Yebanai. It was okay not to give up, because many of the sergeants were Buddhists. Facing the eminent monk Yebanai from Mount Ceylon, they would not Take action.
Yebanai did not proclaim himself king, but only asked people to collect the corpses of the Ming army and his own people. Then at dusk, he personally took the corpses of Zhang Yao and other Ming soldiers to the port of Beloli.
Zheng He heard that Zhang Yao had more than 30 large and small wounds on his body, and seven of them were fatal. He ordered someone to cut a lock of his hair, and then cremated him. He put his ashes and hair into an earthen jar, wrote his name and sealed it. appropriate.
These are my brothers, and they must be brought back to the Ming Dynasty even if they die.
Yebanai sat in front of Zheng He and said calmly: "There will no longer be a tyrannical monarch in Mount Ceylon. The people here will be deeply grateful to the Ming Dynasty for rescuing them. You are friends of Mount Ceylon. We will not Forget this kindness."
Zheng He nodded solemnly and said: "After returning to the country, I will report this matter to the emperor and ask for a title for you. I hope you can govern Mount Ceylon well. The Ming Dynasty only conquers countries that are tyrannical and disobedient."
Yebanai showed a peaceful smile: "I don't want to be canonized or anything like that. I only want one thing, and I ask the ambassador of the Celestial Dynasty to agree to it."
"What's the matter?"
Zheng He asked warily.
Yebanai pointed to the sea and said: "Some of the bandits on the sea are actually people who have no way to make a living in Mount Ceylon. Now that Ariel Kunel has been captured and his rule has ended, it is time for those people to go ashore. "
Zheng He understood clearly that Yeba wanted to let the pirates go ashore and let them go ashore. This was truly a return to shore, and he became a Buddha immediately.
In any case, the settlement of the Ceylon Mountains issue completely cleared the last obstacle for the naval fleet to continue sailing westward. It also solved the problem of pirates and bandits in the Ceylon Mountains waters and laid the foundation for the opening of the waterway.
After Yebanai left, the Ming Navy received four boxes of pearls and four boxes of gems. This made Zheng He a little dumbfounded. When could pearls and gems be packed in wooden boxes?
Look at this smallest pearl. It would cost at least a thousand taels if it were brought to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. These boxes of treasures...
The fleet rested in Belori for a few days, then replenished fresh water and headed north to Kochi. By this time, it was already mid-March.
Ming Dynasty, capital.
Zhu Yunwen was checking the boxes, and there were quite a few people on the list, as many as forty-six.
Tie Xuan of the Ministry of War and Xu Huizu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, knelt down and dared not speak.
After Zhu Yunwen finished ticking off the list, he threw the list on the ground, stood up and said: "I asked the guard station to provide cattle and used the silver from the treasury to buy them at market prices. Not satisfied with this, he got up to his tricks and gave all the cattle to the soldiers. Sell it and let the sergeants rent their own cattle, and you will receive two taels a quarter. Good business, good business! Why didn't I expect that such a business can be done in the world?!"
The problem of immigrant cattle farming has finally been solved. Either cotton or soybeans and other crops have been planted on the North China Plain. Wheat can only wait for autumn. The imperial court fulfilled its promise, but it harmed countless soldiers.
What Zhu Yunwen didn't expect was that the guard station took the cattle and agreed to take the surplus cattle. As a result, some guards officers directly sold the sergeants' cattle. The sergeants who did not have cattle could only rent the cattle, but the rental fee was not enough. All seasons, just right, eight taels of silver, this is the price for selling cattle.
In other words, the sergeant not only sold the cattle, but also didn't get a penny. If he wanted to rent the cattle next year, he would have to pay eight taels of silver, which was equivalent to missing the cattle and carrying a debt!
This incident caused quite an uproar in the guard station. Some sergeants tried to argue with the officers, but were beaten instead. It was okay to beat the big soldiers. What was abominable was that these officers also beat the wives and children of the soldiers.
At the health center, the whole family is here.
This stirred up a hornet's nest. The sergeant killed an officer in a rage, and then ran away with his whole family. Before he could escape from Huguang, he was captured and back, and is waiting for the court's decision.
When the matter got serious, the imperial censor was impeached and the Security Bureau reported to the police. The local capital was unable to stop him, so he had to plead guilty.
Zhu Yunwen learned about this incident, and then ordered the Security Bureau to conduct a thorough investigation of health centers in Huguang, Jiangxi, Shandong, Henan and other places. It was found that this was not an isolated case, but a serious matter, involving more than 30 health centers!
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen decided to execute these commanders, Qianhu, Baihu, etc. together!
But Xu Huizu disagreed. After all, some of the commanders of the guards came from the Hongwu period. Although they did not have much credit, their fathers had already been killed. It was somewhat inappropriate to kill their sons again.
Tie Xuan believes that it is not appropriate to kill people. After all, they are just taking advantage of the loopholes of the court policy and being greedy. Besides, it was discovered early and did not cause too serious consequences. It was enough to remove them from office and distribute them. There was no need to kill them all.
However, the persuasion of the two people had no effect, and Zhu Yunwen directly decided. At this moment, Ru Jin asked to see him, took a look at the list of candidates, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, there are not enough names on this list. From my perspective, we should also add the names of the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Governor of the Chinese Army, the Cabinet Minister, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the officials of the Dusi Yamen in Huguang, Henan and other places. After all, they have all neglected their duties..."
