Qiming 1158

Chapter 1630 Sure enough, they are worms

Song Xiangxi did not have any in-depth knowledge of Buddhism.

He just generally knows that there are many different sects of Buddhism, and the contradictions between them are relatively large, and the behavior styles are also diverse.

But when he was young, he also heard from his own elders that Buddhists should always obey the precepts, not to kill, not to eat meat, etc. There are many violations of the rules.

So he felt that monks should be a group of well-behaved people.

In his understanding, there are some precepts that have been passed down for a long time. No matter what faction you are, you should abide by them. Buddhists should be quiet and inactive and have few desires, and they should be kind and pay attention to saving sentient beings.

But these Buddhist worshippers in front of him gilded the Buddha statues, or simply made the Buddha statues out of pure gold, making the Buddhist temple resplendent and extravagant. .

Didn't he say he wanted to save all sentient beings?

Why are you now only caring about making a statue of gold and dressing yourself in gold and silver?

Could it be that the difference between Buddhists of different sects is that big?
Can't you see that the toilers are dying?
Maybe they really can't see it, just like those old men in the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty, they can only see people, especially talented and beautiful women, they can't see the bulls and horses.

If such a country were to be introduced into the Revival Society, it would not be difficult to develop it if it would help it secretly.

Or, is there such a country around Daming?

In the face of these countries, in the face of such a group of insects, it is absolutely not impossible for Daming's theory of world revolution to succeed.

These people who suffered and suffered, these numb people who were oppressed, just lacked an opportunity. Once this opportunity was born, the anger they burst out was enough to smelt gold.

At this moment, Song Xiangxi no longer had any doubts about the lofty goals of this world revolution.

The diplomacy between Song Xiangxi and Bagan went very smoothly. During the diplomatic talks, Xu Tong led the army to clean up all the remnants of the Dali reactionary forces, only part of the border was fortified, the main force of the army retreated, and there was no intention to invade Bagan.

Naporo Emperor Xidu fully felt the "sincerity" of Daming. He hosted a banquet for Song Xiangxi, agreed to Daming's request to set up an agency, and allowed Daming merchants to do business in Bagan, promising to protect the safety of Daming merchants.

Of course, he hoped that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty would be active in the northern part of Bagan as much as possible.

Song Xiangxi also has some understanding of this. According to the Skynet Army, the ethnic groups in the northern part of Bagan and the ethnic groups in the southern part often have small frictions and small movements, and the relationship between them is not so coordinated and not so friendly.

Of course, this does not mean that the central government of Bagan is not stable enough. For the southern ethnic groups, the military strength of Bagan is still sufficient, but everyone is not so convinced, and there are always some special opinions that they want to express.

Song Xiangxi then understood the meaning of Napoleon Sidu, and said that he had no problem in this regard.

So Song Xiangxi brought back the diplomatic and commercial relations that Daming needed, as well as a huge bill that Napoleon made after learning the prices of some of Daming's specialties.

Not to mention a small country or a big country, but those who can achieve this kind of ruler status will never be out of money, and they are particularly willing to spend money for themselves.

Sure enough, they are worms.

On the other side, in the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom, the situation is different.

Because of the problem of the navigation route of the merchant fleet, they first found a port in the Kingdom of Sanfoqi where they wanted to set up a voyage transfer station and a garrison point.

This destination port is located in a place called Puluozhong, and this area is the future Singapore.

According to the report of the merchant fleet, they came across this area during their voyage. It belongs to the end of the peninsula. It faces another island controlled by the Sanfoqi Kingdom across the sea. They want to reach Selan from the Sanfoqi Kingdom. It is best to go through this channel.

At present, this is not the port area that the Kingdom of Sanfoqi cares about, and the construction here is limited to primitive development, which is infinitely close to no development. influences.

What the kingdom cares about is the place where the capital is, called Palembang, which is very prosperous, and they don't care about Pulau.

Therefore, according to the report of the merchant fleet, it is very, very appropriate to obtain a sea port and a garrison base belonging to the Ming Dynasty here.

According to the report of the Skynet Army, the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom is an island country and a maritime country.

The local land in Sanfoqi is fertile, agricultural production is relatively prosperous, and it is densely populated. Some people are used to living in houses on water.

But that doesn't mean they don't have cities, they also have big cities. The city walls are dozens of miles long, and the scale is really not small, and the style is quite similar to the Chinese city walls.

The kings of the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom entered and exited by boat, and their writing was in Sanskrit. In the past, when they communicated with the Tang and Song dynasties, the previous chapter used Chinese, indicating that the ruling class of the Three Buddhas Qi was familiar with Chinese.

Because Sanfoqi has very close trade ties with the Tang and Song dynasties, and the sea transportation is relatively convenient, there are actually many Chinese living in the capital of Sanfoqi.

When Daming first sent the national team to run the business, the local Han people gave them a lot of help out of compatriotism.

Similarly, because of the close commerce and trade, they have a deep understanding of Daming. Unlike Chenla and Bagan, the local Han people generally know the existence of Hongwu's political theory and the existence of Daming's so-called revolution.

Including the upper echelons of the empire, they also know that Su Yonglin and Daming are different from ordinary people, so they treat Daming differently from Tang Song.

Since the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Three Buddhas of Qi State did not take the initiative to send people to carry out official exchanges with Daming, only commercial exchanges, and they also took more precautions against those who did business with Daming.

They stipulated that businessmen of the Ming Dynasty must enter from its capital Palembang, and other places are not allowed to enter, and after entering the country, they must check their belongings, mainly book inspections, and a series of books such as Hongwu's political commentary are not allowed to enter Sanfoqi.

After the merchants of the Ming Dynasty entered the Sanfoqi country, the scope of activities was also limited to several large commercial cities and port cities with strong upper control in the kingdom, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to set foot in the vast countryside.

This is a more troublesome thing for Daming to set up a local revival organization to carry out operations.

In this regard, the Skynet Army believes that there are many people in their country who can read and understand Chinese. It is said that the upper levels of the Sanfoqi Kingdom are more worried that the meeting of people with wicked thoughts in the country will incite the people at the bottom to rebel by relying on this kind of "fallacy and heresy".

And this view is derived from the actual situation of the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom.
