('

The next day, the group of Tamils ​​happily carried King Sinhalla back to the capital in the northern part of Ceylon, and at the same time reported in detail to the Tamil King the strength of the Song fleet. He yearned for the Song Dynasty very much, so he decided to follow the Song fleet to the Song Dynasty and pay tribute to the Song Dynasty emperor to show his surrender.

However, after thinking for a long time, he could not choose a suitable candidate, so he decided to lead a team to the Song Dynasty. After humiliating the King of Sinhala, he killed him. The reason why he chose to kill him was because his father was killed by the King of Sinhala last year.

When King Sinhalla put it in the steamer, he was so scared that he couldn't cry, and his shit and urine flowed. He had seen people being steamed, which was quite terrifying. Unexpectedly, he himself had today. However, it was too late to regret at this time, so he could only lie in the steamer and enjoy the punishment he invented.

As the water temperature increased, the steam slowly gathered upwards. At first, King Sinhala felt better, but soon he felt his heart beat faster, his blood increased, and his face rose. Then a lot of sweat poured out. After the sweat dried up, he felt a stinging pain all over his body and a lot of blisters appeared. The only thing he could do was scream.

The creepy scream lasted for half an hour before slowly stopping. After another half an hour, a smell of meat floated out of the steamer, which made the guards feel disgusted.

When the steamer was opened, a person huddled together, and most of his skin had already escaped due to struggle, revealing the cooked meat that was emitting heat inside. The eyes on his head had completely turned white and were completely cooked.

...

In Kalamba's palace, Wenshen sat on the throne and looked at the Tamil King and others in the hall, "What's the matter when you are waiting for your visit?"

King Tamil hurriedly explained his purpose in detail, and at the same time simply rewarded the matter of how to deal with King Sinhala.

Wen Shen thought for a moment and said, "It is not impossible for you to follow the fleet to go to the Song Dynasty to pay tribute, but we are not back to the Song Dynasty yet. Next, we will continue to travel westward. However, when we return to the voyage, we can take you here."

When King Tamil saw Wenshen agreeing, he hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

"I think you are not bad. I decided to hand over the entire Ceylon to you for management. What do you think?"

Although he destroyed and occupied Sinhala, Wenshen could not divide his troops to garrison here anymore, so he wanted to find an agent to manage the place for him.

The Tamil King thought that this was really a pie from the sky. When did he not accept the change at this time, he hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "I will never give up on my death. I will definitely ask the country to govern Ceylon."

Wen Shen was very happy to see him as such a good word and smiled and said, "Very good! Get up. Tell me how many troops do you have now?"

King Tamil stood up and replied: "There are more than 20,000 households in the northern part of Ceylon, and the strong soldiers are 10,000..."

After listening to the introduction, Wenshen felt it was okay, so he provided him with five thousand steel knives, plus a heavy machine gun and 10,000 rounds of bullets as strategic weapons. Originally, the Tamil King didn't want to buy it, but after seeing the sharpness of the steel knives and the fierceness of the machine gun, he immediately took out all his assets. A total of ten thousand taels of gold and a batch of spices.

Subsequently, Tamil led his troops to migrate from the northern part of Ceylon to Kalamba in the south, and encircled and suppressed the remnants of Sinhalese. At the same time, he sent people to accept nearly 10,000 prisoners, and according to Wenshen's instructions, he used this group of people to clean up and expand the dock. The expanded dock can accommodate more than 40 large ships similar to the type of ironclad ship, and can accommodate three or four hundred small and medium-sized ships at the same time.

After stabilizing Ceylon, the three ships of Dingyuan continued to travel westward and arrived in southern India in less than a day, but did not stop. Two days later, the fleet met a team of Muslim merchant ships and followed them over a half-day sailing to the port of Aden, the country of Great Food.

The Great Food Kingdom is the Arab Empire, Aden Port City, located at the southwest end of the Arabian Peninsula, guarding the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean and is the key to maritime transportation in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Entering Aden from the sea, the first thing that caught my eye was the bare rock that seemed to have just been burned by the raging fire. Zhang Long was surprised at this and asked, "Please, what kind of mountain is this mountain? Why is it so weird?"

"That's a volcano, which will spew out huge flames, so this mountain is so weird." Wenshen briefly introduced some volcanic geography knowledge.

The boat slowly sailed into the bay, and Zhang Long envied: "This is really a natural port. Look, this port is like a gourd. The boat enters the harbor from the mouth of the gourd. The whole harbor is calm and deep. It is a natural port."

"It's really good!"

Looking at the terrain of this harbor, Wenshen remembered Qingdao in later generations. Qingdao's terrain is similar to that of Aden, and it is also a natural port with circular harbors. At the same time, he thought to himself: "As the ships become larger and larger, it is very necessary to develop Qingdao."

After docking, the soldiers were ordered to take out a batch of goods and go to the city to hawk, while Wenshen took six people to appreciate the exotic scenery in the city.

The city of Aden is very small, but the white houses in the city are densely built. The houses are square, the roads are narrow, but there are many pedestrians. A large number of merchants gather here to buy and sell various goods. What surprised Wenshen was that there was a slave market for buying and selling people. Among them, blacks and whites were mainly blacks, and a small number of yellow races.

On a large platform, there was a row of naked slaves standing on it. The crowd around them pointed and evaluated the one who could work and the one who was beautiful...

The slave looked at the crowd around with humiliating tears, and at the same time he thought to pray that his future master would be better to him. The slave trader on the side saw Wen Shen and others, hurried forward and recommended, "Look at what you should be wearing in the Great Song Dynasty in Dongtu!"

Wenshen looked at the Arab in white robe and nodded, "You have good eyesight, we are formally from the Song Dynasty."

The Arab smiled and thought to himself: "I have traveled all over the world, and I have never seen anyone, and I have never encountered anything. The people of the Song Dynasty are all big money owners. Give yourself a few plates, which is enough for a few days to work for yourself." So he smiled and said: "Look at how about these slaves, do you want to buy a few?"

He pointed at a few of the black men with a whip, "Look at these days, he is tall and strong, and he is just seventeen years old. He is definitely a good laborer for work. These are just transported from the south and there is no disease at all."

Following the direction pointed, Wenshen saw five tall and strong young black men covering their lower bodies with their hands, looking at Wenshen and others, thinking full of expectations. It turned out that they learned from their predecessors that the Song people were kind and righteous. If they could follow such a master, it would be a blessing in disgrace.

"Zhang Long, how are you doing? Do you want to buy a few back?"

Zhang Long frowned and said, "We have a population of 100 million in the Song Dynasty, is it necessary to buy people?"

"We are a population of 100 million, but we have to pay to hire them. These efforts are mainly about food and accommodation, which is relatively affordable. Just like the prisoners of war captured from the Western Xia, we helped us build many railways. If we only find the people of the Song Dynasty, the wages alone would be a huge expense."

"Oh, I don't think about it. Judging from the size, these people should be good materials for working."

Wenshen said to the slave trader: "How many slaves do you have in total?"

The slave trader lit up his eyes and said anxiously: "I have more than 500 people here. If you need more, I can contact others and please feel satisfied."

Wenshen looked at the two undeveloped white girls on the stage and asked, "What's going on with these two girls?"

The slave trader smiled and said, "The white men were captured on the western battlefield, and they felt that they had no experience in personnel. How about it, should you buy a few?"

Wen Shen thought for a moment, and then said, "I plan to buy six hundred strong black slaves and four hundred white slaves, and should not be younger than twenty-five years old."

"It must be. I don't have slaves over twenty-five years old here at all. All efforts will be prepared for you tomorrow. If you think there is something you don't like, you can change it." The slave trader seemed very excited to hear Wenshen's efforts to buy so much.

Wen Shen thought about it and felt it was reasonable. In this era of average lifespan of more than 30 years, it was really difficult to find those old guys. Many people got married and had children at the 14th and 5th, and became grandfathers at the age of 30. It was already a burning incense to live until they were forty.

...

The next day, more than two thousand efforts were transported to the dock in a mighty manner. After some screening, a thousand people were selected. When the slave owner looked at the beauty mirrors of one person and used a beautiful mirror inlaid with mahogany, he no longer mentioned the price, but arranged for people to quickly hide the mirror.

At the same time, he said diligently: "Sir, if you still need slaves, you must come to me, and you will definitely be satisfied at that time."...
