Journey to the New South

Chapter 43: Late-night Plan for Revenge and Talk all the way

As the saying goes, there is no feast that never ends, and no matter how good the banquet is, it will come to an end. After enjoying a unique dinner, Cixuan and others went back to their rooms to rest. The land god was reluctant to leave and stayed to chat with the earth elves until midnight. Others quickly fell asleep, which was the first sleep after getting rid of the snowman spirit and ending the Dongzhi City disaster, so everyone slept particularly soundly.

At night, the bright moon is in the sky, the warm wind blows, and the whole east branch looks calm and calm. There is no more scourge of the snowman spirit, and the east branch will definitely gain vitality again. God has given it a warm climate and plenty of rain, which will inevitably make Nanyang trees spread throughout the city again and restore its beauty.

"Mr. Fat in Xiao, A and I stayed by God's side. We had a wedding in heaven. Don't be sad for our loss of life, but be happy that we have a good home." Fat in the dream of smiling, Delis and Adai happily held hands and smiled at him.

"Dais, Dumb! Is it really you? My God, are you still alive?" Fat said in his dream with a smile.

"Yes, we are still alive. Although we have no physical body, as Christians, our souls are immortal. Our friendship with you will not end because of death. Mr. Fat Laughing, we are here to tell you that although we can no longer hug with our bodies, we can continue to communicate with our hearts. Our friendship is long-lasting. Fat in the dream of laughing, Deliss is still so beautiful.

"Thank God! I knew God would take good care of you. Delis, Dumb, I'm leaving Dongzhi. I want to cure Feng Qi's illness. He is the eldest brother. It is time to get rid of the evil snowman spirit and the demon that caused the heavy snow and earthquake. Of course, I know, it's God's will. The fat man in the dream said with a smile.

"We believe in your medical skills. Go bravely and go where you want to go. God will bless you. The dull in the dream said.

"Dumb, we should go. Let Mr. Fat have a good rest. Goodbye, Mr. Fat, let's go!" Deliss said in the dream.

A Dai nodded and disappeared with a smile with Deliss, disappearing little by little.

'Delis, Dumb, don't go, don't go!" Fat laughed and shouted in panic, and woke up in a hurry. Fat smiled and looked at the moon shadow outside the window and knew that it was a dream.

"What's wrong? Fat doctor? Did you have a nightmare?" Ci Xuan, who was woken up by fat laughter, got up and asked. Feng Qi, who was also woken up, also climbed up in a panic and looked at the fat and smiled.

"No, Christians don't have nightmares. My dream was beautiful. Delis and Dumb came hand in hand to tell me that they were married in heaven and God took good care of them. He also said that my friendship with them will not end because of their death. Because they have just lost their bodies, their souls can still connect with my heart. Fat smiled and said, tears of happiness.

"Yes, I believe in your dreams. They are all good people and will find a good home in heaven. Even if we leave Dongzhi, they will look at us in the sky. Ci Xuan said with relief.

"For sure, we don't have to go to the hillside to say goodbye to them tomorrow morning. The hillside is just burying their bodies. Their souls have gone to heaven and have just come to say goodbye to me. Although I didn't say much, every word is valuable to me. We have said goodbye to each other in our dreams, which is enough. Fat said with a smile.

"Okay! Then tomorrow morning, we will go straight on the road. We will have a sincere friendship with you, and we will take care of each other along the way. Cixuan said.

"I really hope tomorrow can come early, because I have felt that God is calling us to move forward and get rid of the tyrant Mangbai, the Satan of Myanmar!" Fatty said with a smile and affirmatively.

"What? Fat doctor! What are you talking about? How do you know..." Cixuan and Feng Qi were extremely surprised when they heard the words of Pang's smile. They wanted to ask and stop, and their expressions were extremely embarrassed.

"Ha ha, that's for sure. Although you didn't admit that you were the prince of the Ming Dynasty, everyone present knew that you were the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Awa is not a necessary place to go to Taiwan. If you are in a hurry to go to Awa, the only explanation is that you want to get rid of Mangbai, which is the destruction of your country. Feng Qi can stealth, and it is possible for him to kill Mangbai. I think this is your plan!" Fatty said calmly with a smile.

"Fat doctor, your statement is very logical, but it is not necessarily true. Let's not talk about this issue." Ci Xuan said so.

"Indeed, although you don't admit it, you don't deny it. This means that you neither regard me as a friend nor an enemy. We have known each other for a short time, and it is understandable that you don't fully believe me. But I swear to God, I will try my best to avenge you. In other words, it will not be so easy for Feng Qi alone. So, God let you meet me. To some extent, only the cooperation between Feng Qi and I can successfully get rid of Mangbai. Fat said with a smile on his chest.

"Fat doctor, I don't understand what you said. Can't my stealth technique deal with recklessness?" Feng Qi quickly asked when he saw that Fat had something to say in the joke.

"Feng Qi, the tyrant has harmed too many people, and there are too many people who want to kill him. Mangbai rarely appears in public for safety, and sleeps in different bedrooms every night. Few people know where he lives. Even if you can enter the palace freely, you may not be able to find Mangbai. Because Mangbai usually does not live in the palace. It is said that he has hundreds of secret residences in Awa and rarely lives in the royal palace. Fat explained with a smile.

What the fat doctor said makes sense. But after all, Mangbai is the king of Myanmar, and he will definitely appear on many occasions. I think I can always find an opportunity to find his whereabouts. Cixuan said.

"Yes, that's for sure. No matter how hidden the devil hides, it can always be exposed to the sun. Now with a master like Feng Qi and my assistance, Mangbai is about to reach its limit. Fat said with a smile.

"Does the fat doctor also want to participate in this matter? I don't know what the fat doctor thinks? Tell me about it!" Speaking of revenge, Ci Xuan was interested and asked sincerely.

"The best way is to poison. However, the imperial doctor in the Mangbai Palace is not a vegetarian. They will resolve ordinary poisons. Unless you use Western poison - lost soul pills." Fat said with a smile and pride.

"The lost soul? Is there really this poison? Won't it be detected? Feng Qi asked quickly.

"Hehe, yes, there is really this kind of poison. Westerners call it the rest pill, the soulless pill I gave. It melts in water and is colorless and tasteless. Myanmar's royal doctors should not be able to solve this poison. As long as Mangbai drinks the water put in this medicine, he will definitely die. Fat said with a serious smile.

"That's great! If you do this unconsciously, you don't have to fight a lot. As long as he finds Mangbai's whereabouts, let Feng Qi put the lost soul pills into what Mangbai drank with stealth. That will make Mangbai go to hell!" Ci Xuan said excitedly.

"If there is a devil in the world, there is a devil's nemesis. Satan's nemesis is God, and the reckless nemesis is us. To get rid of Mangbai, the people of Myanmar will thank us. We have removed a devil for the world, which God is happy to see. God will bless our success." Fat smiled and said confidently.

"Ha ha, it must be successful! Brother Feng Qi and Fat Doctor are really gods sent by God to help me. All the strange people in the world have been met by me, and they are all good people with intention. Zaodan's godmother can cry for mortals and goblins. Brother Feng Qi can stealth, and the fat doctor is proficient in Western medicine. Unexpectedly, they have become friends of life and death with me. God treats me well!" Cixuan said excitedly.

"It's time to decide. You yourself are a magical person. It's incredible that you can escape Wu Sangui's clutches and get rid of the snowman spirits, and let strange people like Feng Qi and Zao Dan follow you so determinedly. Zaodan can cry mortals and goblins, my God, then her cry is the most special weapon in the world. I really can't believe that such a cry will come from Zaodan's mouth. Fat said with a smile.

"Yes, Zaodan Ganniang used her crying to protect us. She once cried Li Hu, whom Wu Sangui sent to catch me, and once weakened the ability of the goblin to cry. However, if we don't think about 'an nerve', we can't stand it. Cixuan said.

"It seems that I need to learn 'nervous' from you. Zaodan is really a wonderful woman in the world. She is a beautiful and enthusiastic woman. She became the godmother of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so she is also the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty. Fat said with a smile.

"Ha ha, we don't have the empress dowager, no prince, and no Ming Dynasty here. This is Myanmar in the South Sea, and we are all passers-by. Our destination is Taiwan, which is the land of the Ming Dynasty. Ci Xuan said with a smile.

"If you can really reach Taiwan and become the emperor. Then I hope you can make Christianity the state religion of the Ming Dynasty. Then God will bless you to complete the great cause of anti-Qing and restoration. If so, Myanmar and the whole Southern Ocean will also be naturalized under the banner of Daming and become the vassals of Daming. In that case, the whole oriental is blessed. Fat said with a smile.

"Fat doctor. Your idea is so interesting. I'm a Buddhist monk now. Aren't you afraid that I will establish Buddhism as the state religion of the Ming Dynasty? Cixuan said.

"That won't work. Western countries are already more advanced than Eastern countries, but they are all Christian countries!" Fat said with a smile.

"Okay, Sanlang, Fat Doctor, I think it's time for us to go to bed, otherwise it will be dawn and we should hurry." Feng Qi said.

Pang smiled and nodded with a smile, stopped talking, and fell asleep peacefully again. The whole room has returned to quiet.

The next morning, after a simple breakfast, the four Cixuan said goodbye to the earth spirit and the land god.

"Thank you for your warm hospitality these days. May the legs get better as soon as possible. May the earth elves and the land god bless Dongzhi.' Cixuan said.

"I also wish you peace and a safe journey. We will bless Dongzhi and the church here. The earth elf said.

"Good boy, help me go to the hillside behind the church and sweep the tombs for Delis and Dumb. That's where their bodies are buried. Fatty told with a smile.

"Don't worry, fat doctor, we will. Thank you for healing my leg. You are my eternal benefactor. Mantian sat up hard and said affectionately.

"Good boy, don't forget what you said. You are going to learn Western medicine from the pastor of the church and contribute to the people of Dongzhi. Fat said with a smile.

"Yes, I will definitely do it. I will definitely become an excellent doctor like you." What did the sky say?

"I think you must be better than me. You are a little fairy from heaven. Fat said with a smile.

"Okay, we're really leaving. The earth is round, maybe we can meet again. Ci Xuan said with a smile.

"Then we will send it to you. Although it is said that you need to say goodbye in the end. But we still want to send it to you." The god of land said.

"My legs can't walk yet, so I won't go out to see you off. Let my brother and the land god see you off for me." What's wrong with the sky?

In this way, under the sight of the sky, the land god and the earth elves sent Ci Xuan and others outside the door, and the horses and carriages that had been prepared for a long time were parked in front of the door, which were cleaned up very clean. The ground elf ran to the horse, said a few words close to the horse's ear, and said to everyone with a smile, "Let my horse serve you. I have told it to take you far away safely."

"Thank you, Ma. We won't treat it badly. We will definitely feed it full." Feng Qi said with a smile.

"Ha ha, you are leaving. Otherwise, I really want to compare with you again. The earth elf said with a smile.

"Haha, don't compare. You have become the assistant of the land god, and I'm sure I can't beat you. Feng Qi laughed.

"Okay, Feng Qi, Sanlang, fat doctor. It's time for us to get in the car. If we continue to talk like this, we will never finish talking. Zaodan said with a smile.

"Then we will get in the car. I already feel that God is urging us to go on the road!" Fat said with a smile.

Feng Qi sat on the carriage and was responsible for driving. Ci Xuan, Zao Dan and Fat sat in the back of the carriage with a smile. The four people waved goodbye to the earth elf and the land god together, and then left in a carriage.

The carriage quickly left Dongzhi and ran to Ava in laughter. The four of them talked about the West along the way, and the atmosphere was warm. Fat is laughing because I dreamed of Delis and Dumb last night and knew that they were doing well in heaven. So the mood completely improved, and the big fat face was full of smiles again, becoming a real fat smile.

"This is what I really am. I like to laugh because I feel that life is beautiful, because we will receive the grace of God. I'm so happy that a person from an orphan could have travel around the world, learned Western medicine, and gained precious friendship. Fat said with a smile and excitedly.

"Fat doctor, let's talk about the situation you went to the West. That's a strange place for us." Zaodan asked curiously.

I think it was all God's arrangement, although I was not a Christian at that time. But God is the master of the world, and he is a great and wonderful God. He will guide everyone to become Christians. I became an orphan when I was seven years old, so my life was difficult. It can be said that I have done everything to live, including begging. Until the age of 30, he had no success and lived a decadent life. But the painful life experience has also exercised my courage to wander. I went to India, which is our neighbor of Myanmar. I came into contact with Westerners there, who established many strongholds in India. One of the most famous is the British East India Company, which is the representative of British interests in India. I went to England through the East India Company. Fat said with a smile.

"I have also heard of the British East India Company. According to Western missionaries, the East India Company is also responsible for colonial activities in India. It's really hard to imagine that such a distant Western island country can expand its power in India thousands of miles away. It seems that Britain is really an advanced country. Cixuan said.

"It's time to decide. Not only Britain, but also other Western countries are similar. They are often small countries, and most of them are by the sea. However, they all attach importance to commerce and actively expand overseas trade, opening up colonies everywhere for this purpose. They not only have sharp ships and cannons, but also Christian civilization. They attach importance to science and technology and have advanced thinking. It is much more advanced than Eastern countries. Fat said with a smile.

"In fact, more than 200 years ago, Zheng He, the three treasure eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, led a huge fleet to the West seven times. From the eastern coast of Daming, it passes through the Southern Ocean to the West. Unfortunately, the Japanese pirates later ran rampant, and the court had to impose a sea ban. There is no expansion of overseas trade. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would not decline and lag behind Western countries. Ci Xuan said regretfully.

"Yes, that's for sure. No country can be closed to the gate. The backwardness of the East is the result of contempt for commerce and the ocean. Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty made seven voyages to the West and passed through the Southern Ocean, leaving many touching stories. The worship of Zheng He is very popular in many places in Nanyang. However, the West Zheng He went to is a different concept from what we call the West today. They are two geographical concepts. The Western world now refers to Europe and the Americas. Zheng He has never been there in history. The farthest place where his fleet has reached is now known as the East Coast of Africa. This is something that Western countries know, and they know a lot about things in the East. Western newspapers have various stories about the world. When I was in London, I loved reading English newspapers. Fat said with a smile.

Ci Xuan and Zao Dan were fascinated by the words, and even Feng Qi, who was driving, was deeply attracted by the words of fat smile. Ci Xuan thought for a moment and said, "The main purpose of Zheng He's voyage to the West is not to open up overseas trade, let alone to open up overseas colonies, but to promote the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty. This is different from the purpose of sailing in Western countries. Cixuan said.

"This is the difference between Easterners and Westerners. Orientals are willing to sacrifice their lives for face, while Westerners pay attention to pragmatic interests. Many islands in the South Sea are occupied by Western countries. If the Eastern countries do not change their closed policies, they will fall into the hands of Western countries sooner or later. Under the rule of Spain and the rule of the Philippines and Java under the rule of the Netherlands, British East India companies threatened not only India, but also Myanmar and Malacca. Portugal has also occupied some islands in the Southern Ocean and occupied Macao, the land of Daming in the name of the concession. The knowledgeable fat man said with a smile.

"However, didn't Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping of the Ming Dynasty, defeat the Dutch and occupy Taiwan? It seems that Westerners can also be defeated. Feng Qi turned around and said loudly.

"Yes, Daming has two heroes who defeated the Westerners at sea. One is the pirate Lin Feng, who once led the army to defeat the Spaniards and establish power in the northern part of Luzon in the Philippines. His deeds are also widely spread in the Philippines. Delis and I went to the Philippines a year and a half ago, where overseas Chinese still respect Lin Feng very much. The other is Mr. Zheng Chenggong, who defeated the Netherlands and occupied Taiwan. Actively develop overseas trade and make Taiwan develop rapidly. I heard from overseas Chinese in the Philippines that Zheng Chenggong also wanted to recruit the Philippines and rescue the overseas Chinese there. It was only because of his early death that he gave up. Fat said with a smile.

"Is the life of overseas Chinese in the Philippines very hard?" Ci Xuan asked hurriedly.

"Yes, it's bitter. There are 100,000 overseas Chinese in the Philippines, who are discriminated against and oppressed and exploited by the Spaniards. The Spaniards treated them as cheap labor, but did not give them the treatment they deserved and slaughtered them. Therefore, it provoked a great uprising of overseas Chinese. Cixuan's laughing words made Ci Xuan feel very uncomfortable.

"Yes, under the rule of foreigners, there are few that are not bitter. If I go to Taiwan, I will send troops to fight against the Spaniards in the Philippines and rescue the overseas Chinese there. Take the Philippines as a base for the anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Ci Xuan said firmly.

"Very good. Taiwan is also very powerful in the Philippines. Taiwan not only maintains close business exchanges with the whole South China Sea, including the Philippines, but also develops strength among overseas Chinese. Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping in Taiwan, also wanted to conquer the Philippines, but the ministers objected. They don't want to disperse Taiwan's military power, nor do they want to erect Spain as an enemy. After all, Taiwan's main enemy is still the Qing Dynasty. Fat said with a smile.

"Those ministers are also really short-sighted. How can the Qing Dynasty be reversed overnight? If you don't go to Nanyang to expand your power first, I'm afraid you can't rely on Taiwan alone. Cixuan said.

"If Taiwan can be as strong as Britain, then the Qing Dynasty is not afraid. Compared with Taiwan, which opened up trade, the closed Qing Dynasty, Taiwan is more promising. Of course, if Taiwan wants to expand its power around like Britain, then Nanyang is the most important region for Taiwan to expand its forces. In addition to backward countries like Myanmar, the Southern Ocean is also a colony of Western countries. If they can be naturalized under the banner of the Ming Dynasty and become the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, then they can resist the invasion of Westerners together. Fat said with a smile.

"Yes, they all became the land of Daming and let Sanlang become emperor. We also learn from the advanced things of Western countries and develop marine trade. Zaodan said with a smile.

"Okay, okay. And we should make Christianity the state religion! Dang, you must realize our expectations." Fat said with a smile
