In the face of Alekur's strategy, it is not bad, at least it is stronger than other countries, the problem is that Xu Hao and the four thousand Liaodong troops are not afraid at all, and it is ridiculous that the Ceylonese have an axe in front of the Ming Dynasty army.

Thinking about the decisive battle of Zhengcunba back then, most of the people here followed King Yan to break the 500,000 army of the imperial court with 80,000 people, and then under the leadership of Xu Hao, he fought a series of victories, from Beiping to Jinling, and experienced adversity and good times, even if there was no firearm in his hand, he could fight ten with one enemy with sword confidence.

At this moment, Xu Hao is full of confidence in his subordinates like Zheng He in history, 40,000 Ceylon soldiers are definitely not Mu Hui's opponents, not to mention 10,000 morale-boosting guards, even if any of the sailors on the ship can take up arms to fight, there are plenty of muskets, artillery and ammunition on board.

Xu Hao decided to go straight to Huanglong, asked the road to the royal city, left a thousand people to guard the war horses, and the Ming army bypassed the ambush in front of him and hurried from the mountain road.

The sun had set, and the night was not allowed to illuminate, when a few red clouds rolled in the western sky, like dragons and dragons, and the dragon dances were slowly approaching each other, as if they were about to start a battle.

The team strode forward, the mountain was silent without singing, without drumming, the soldiers looked resolute, relying on their feet in the jungle to cut through thorns, the tropical grass was dense and tall, often the front team walked in, in the blink of an eye, there was no human figure, only through guò one by one colorful battle flags striding forward in the sea of grass.

As the night gradually enveloped the mountains, a huge red moon slowly rose over the horizon, and the clouds sometimes obscured the moonlight, like a lantern swaying in the wind, sometimes bright, sometimes dark.

Xu Hao took a breath, refused to ride a horse and chose to share the joys and hardships with his brothers, and walked for two hours, and what came into view at the foot of the mountain after midnight was behind the gloomy sky. The outline of a huge black object is clearly visible, which is the wall of the royal city of Ceylon, Koda.

Xu Hao squatted down and gave an order, and the two hundred scouts were clothed in green grass and took advantage of the night, and one by one cautiously approached the city wall, like a group of wolves from Liaodong, and like a group of night birds, quietly.

A terrible explosion echoed in the night, the city gate was blown apart, and Xu Hao got up and led everyone to attack.

The Ceylonese army had already poured out, leaving only a few thousand defenders of the royal city. was caught off guard by the muskets of the Ming army, and dozens of people were killed in one shot.

Three thousand heavily armed Ming troops swarmed in, poor Alie Kuqi was still in the palace with a beautiful woman in his arms and dreaming, outside a fierce battle for a while, the defenders were beaten and lost their armor, and hundreds of people died in Huangquan.

The palace door was burst open, Xu Hao strode in with a short gun in his hand, and there was a bang behind him, and the guards who ran out in a hurry fell in a pool of blood.

Soon Alekunel was dragged over like a dead dog. Speaking loudly and unintelligible words of spare, Xu Hao kicked him hard in the face, looked at the luxurious palace and the trembling alien beauty, and waved his hand: "Rob!" ”

Order. The brothers rushed into the palace with a scream, killing people when they saw them, ruining them when they saw women, and pried off all the things of value.

The entire royal city immediately fell into a catastrophe, and the Ming army burned everywhere and set fire. The princes and nobles were dragged out and tied up, and in exchange for a large ransom to save their lives, the domestic slaves and guards were slaughtered. Most of the wives and daughters were humiliated on the spot, and many houses were razed to the ground by fire.

Unexpectedly, the people of Ceylon quickly spread the bad news of the fall of the royal city, and the Ceylonese army, which suffered heavy casualties, hurriedly returned to the army overnight, and Mu Hui sent 5,000 people to help.

At dawn the next day, tens of thousands of troops gathered under the royal city began to attack, and Xu Hao commanded his subordinates to fight back desperately, temporarily invincible by virtue of the terrain.

The problem is that there are too many troops coming one after another, and there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city, Xu Hao pinched the pagoda in his hand, and there was a Buddhist holy relic in it, the big tooth of the legendary Sakyamuni.

After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, seeing that the ammunition was exhausted, Xu Hao asked his brothers to hold a bunch of nobles as meat shields, holding high the sacred relics of the Buddha's tooth, coupled with the crazy attack of the Ming army outside the city, most of the Ceylonese everywhere they went respectfully retreated, and occasionally some muddy people rushed up and crackled a few gunshots.

The great power of the muskets of the Ming army was undoubtedly the manifestation of the Buddha in the eyes of the Ceylonese people, and the people put their hands together in horror, and the two armies converged and slowly retreated.

How to say that there is no historical feud with the people of Ceylon, Xu Hao values the Sinhalese people who believe in Buddhism very much, so he did not hurt too many innocents, no matter how much better than those who believe in green religion and Hinduism.

Fighting and retreating all the way, at dusk finally returned to the port, the whole army did not suffer too many casualties, the Ceylon army of Buddhism did not have the habit of using poison, and the wounds of the flesh were nothing.

The Ming army broke through the royal city in one fell swoop, captured the monarch, obtained the tooth of the Buddha, and killed 20,000 soldiers, which shook the whole country of Ceylon. The problem is that the lord of the country first set up a poisonous plan to attack the Ming people, and the people of Ceylon, who knew that they were at a loss, were worried that the Ming emperor would send a large army to destroy the country.

Xu Hao immediately showed the great grace of the great tomorrow, released a group of nobles and female dependents in public, and chose a well-known clan Porakalamapa to temporarily manage the country, and sent Yarek Kuqi to the capital to wait for the emperor's ruling.

Later, the people of Ceylon learned that the Great Tomorrow was tolerant of all seas, and after reprimanding Yalie Kuqier, they only abolished his throne, released the people back to China, and returned them together with the Buddha's tooth, and passed on Xu Hao to canonize Paragarumopa as the king, and since then the people of Ceylon have been grateful to Dade and have become the friends of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone can still play happily together.

Xu Hao supported the Balagarama to drive out the northern Tamils, this person was the most famous Ming monarch in the history of Sri Lanka, after taking office, he worked hard, respected the Buddha and diligently, governed Ceylon in an orderly manner, and with the assistance of the governor of the Ming Dynasty Galle Port, he conquered the entire island of Ceylon successively, becoming a barrier against Islam.

After the attack, Xu Hao had to be cautious about the next trip, this world will always be the weak in the end, if it is not for the brave and good soldiers, maybe even the bones and dregs are gone, and the maritime trade is really a high-risk and high-reward industry.

The Indian subcontinent includes most of the later India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal, and is surrounded by the sea in the east, west and south, and a series of mountain ranges such as the Himalayas, the roof of the world that have not been transformed for thousands of years, in the north.

The vast continent of its own, with its internal rivers and humid climate, is the most suitable environment for cultivation on earth, with more arable land than China. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, it also gives a unique advantage in maritime trade.

The Indian subcontinent, bathed in the love of God, gave birth to one of the four major civilizations, the ancient Indians developed a brilliant urban civilization in the Indus Valley, and also spread Buddhist culture to Middle-earth, and the two countries had close exchanges at a very early stage.

However, the ancient Indian civilization came to an end with the massive migration of the white Aryans from the Iranian plateau, and if it were not for the preservation of the scriptures of Xuanzang and others in China, the Indians would probably not even know anything about their own history.

The most peculiar thing is that the Aryans created the earliest caste segregation system in human history, and the word "caste" means "color" in Hindi. That is, the rank is divided according to the color of the person's skin.

The darker the complexion, the worse it is, even in modern times, if you want to curse someone, just say to the Indian, you are really black, and keep the other party as angry as digging his ancestral grave.

For millennia, the Caucasian Aryan conquerors were the Brahmins, the religious aristocracy; The Kshatriyas were the noble class of the world, and the Aryans raped the common people of India, resulting in a mixed race called the Vaishyas, or free people.

And the masters of the time, the Dravidians, were reduced to the Shudra class of the toiling masses. Even worse are relegated to untouchable groups of untouchables, who are treated like livestock. There are strict barriers between different ranks, the high-ranking people enjoy a qiē, the lowly ones are not allowed to turn over for generations, and the high and low ranks cannot even eat and drink together. Those who cross the level of intermarriage are even more unforgiving.

Such a perverted system has been practiced in India for thousands of years, and Xu Hao's later generations are still that virtuous, and basically have not changed much.

The conquest of China by the Yuan Dynasty also implemented a policy of racial discrimination of "four classes", which barely lasted for seventy or eighty years. was beaten by the Red Turban Army who sang military songs and almost wiped out.

Every year in all Chinese dynasties, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted: "The prince will be a kind of Xiangning!" This is the result of the traditional Chinese religious attitude of worshiping ghosts and gods and staying away, and if I can't survive, I will rebel. was willing to cut his whole body and dared to pull the emperor off the horse.

Even Christianity, Islam and Judaism only discriminate against outsiders, and the congregations are relatively equal, but the Indians are too strange to believe that the Brahmins are blown out by the gods with their mouths, and the Kshatriyas are made out of their hands by jerking off, and the Vedishas are made out of their thighs, and the Shudras are pulled out with stinky feet, and the untouchables are not even a fart, so they are not satisfied and go to countless immortals to theorize, and honestly accept the fate of oppression There may be a turn for the better in the next life.

The upper aristocracy uses class contradictions and mythological theories to firmly rule the lower classes, although it guarantees the position of the ruler, but also makes the whole society strictly divided and opposed, even if you are content with the status quo and do not rebel, then you don't want to expect the common people to work hard.

So India is a plate of scattered sand, once there is a new foreign invasion, only vested interests help the Brahmins and Kshatriyas to resist, the vast number of lower castes will never be cannon fodder, anyway, it is also a nest to live for a lifetime, who is the master is different?

Therefore, the history of India is a history of conquest, the Persians, the Yueshi, the Macedonians, the Turks, the Mongols, and the British took turns to stay in the village, and there was only one local unified dynasty for thousands of years, the Mauryan Dynasty.

Hinduism advocates that all beings are born unequal, while Buddhism advocates the equality of all beings.

Unfortunately, after the death of Emperor Ashoka, the Mauryan Empire soon fell apart, and Buddhism was brutally retaliated against by Hinduism.

However, the Indians were not inflexible, Buddhism made the ruling class realize that it could not be static, and the war also greatly damaged the vitality of the old Aryans, so the upper echelons of the Dravidian people were also promoted to Brahmins or Kshatriyas, and everyone shared the world.
