Chapter 453 Monk King—How many teachers does he have? (6K)
‘Thousand Island Alliance? This beautiful country is going to cause trouble again! ’
‘I didn’t expect these Southeast Asian island countries to join this alliance. You must know that Annan claimed to have millions of troops, but the result was that they were vulnerable and surrendered so quickly. These small island countries still want to compete with the Jieko Group. ’
'The most powerful thing of the Jieko Group is the army. Nowadays, there are also Asan Kingdoms on land. Their army is also very large, and the Jieko Group's navy relies on the help of the Siam and Annan navies to support the situation. Only these island countries dare to form cliques like this. group. ’
‘It took 46 days to conquer Siam, 8 days to conquer Lancang, 3 days to conquer Chenla, and 10 days to conquer Annan. It was like a new era of European war. These island countries must unite to protect themselves. ’
'I support the Thousand Islands Alliance. The Jieko Group used war to force several countries to sign the Treaty of Manchester. It is an unpardonable crime. This is exerting its own power on the four countries. No wonder our beautiful Congress sanctioned it. It is really not unfair. . ’
'The chicken feet are exposed upstairs. The Jieco Group stipulated in the "Manchester City Treaty" to station troops in four countries. Doesn't your beautiful country also have troops stationed in other countries? Who are you to accuse others? Are you thick-skinned? ’
‘That’s different. The beautiful country’s troops are stationed in other countries to maintain world order and peace, while the Jieko Group’s troops are stationed in other countries to disrupt order and oppress people. This is completely different. ’
'As a native of Asan, I can't help but speak out to protest against the atrocities committed by the Jieco Group. The miserable people of Indochina will be treated as second-class people from now on. However, with the Thousand Islands Alliance that we have joined, the Jieko Group will definitely have to restrain itself. Our Asan Kingdom is not one of those weak countries. ’
With the signing of the "Manchester City Treaty", people on the Internet watched the show one after another and started arguing with each other.
The emergence of the Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance was mainly due to the domineering and arrogant behavior of the Jieco Group. When the neighboring countries around the Jieco Group saw the Manchester City Treaty, they were all deeply disturbed by it.
After all, the Jieko Group has now become the de facto overlord of Indochina, so you can imagine where it will set its sights next.
Especially in the Kingdom of Johor, the Jieko Group annexed the southern territory of Siam and now begins to border Johor on the territory. This has caused the Kingdom of Johor to be frightened.
Not long ago, the Jieco Group carried out a series of purges against the Malays, and the State of Johor protested against it at that time.
As a result, he became the overlord of Indochina in a blink of an eye. Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals suppressed the disobedience of the four countries and were returning to the country.
What if he didn't like him when he came back and led his army down in a mighty manner. They in Johor didn't think that they could stop the attack of Jieko Group's mecha troops with their army.
In the past, Johor's only reliance was that Johor was an island country. Its land was divided into east and west parts by the sea, and it had no border with the Jieko Group.
As we all know, the Jieko Group's naval strength is very poor and it is difficult to conduct cross-sea landing operations.
But this confidence suddenly disappeared as the Jieke Group dominated the Indochina Peninsula.
Because the naval strength of the two countries Annan and Siam is not weak, they have joined forces with each other to form a maritime coalition that is enough to form a superior force over Johor.
And Annan and Siam, who were beaten up by the Jieke Group, may find it difficult to refuse the Jieke Group's request.
It is not just Johor that is worried about maritime security. Other island countries in Southeast Asia are also worried about this, including Java, the most powerful country in Southeast Asia.
This is the world's largest archipelago country, spanning Asia and Oceania. Its territory is composed of 17,508 islands. It is known as the country of a thousand islands, with a population of 280 million people and a GDP of US$1.5 trillion.
Their fragmented country is very afraid of the powerful navy. The only thing to be thankful for is that their Javanese navy is powerful enough to compete with the maritime coalition led by the Jieko Group.
It can be said that after the news of the signing of the Manchester Treaty by the Jieco Group came out, these Southeast Asian countries all raised their vigilance and began to consciously expand their armaments and train new soldiers. Joining the beautiful country can be considered as a backing to prevent the tragedy of Siam. On oneself.
With this military alliance, the beautiful country has promised to lend money to help them build more frigates, destroyers, submarines, lightning speedboats, etc., to help them build a navy that can resist the threat of the Jieko Group.
Although they knew that the beautiful country was using this to sell arms, these countries that felt threatened still joined in one after another.
However, not everyone dared to make fun of them. For example, Asan Kingdom, they were very restless after joining the Thousand Islands Alliance.
"The Treaty of Manchester is the total control and plunder of Indochina by the Jieco Group, and the Siamese authorities have completely become a tool for the Jieco Group to rule the people.
The huge amount of compensation paid in this treaty, the serious loss of sovereignty, and the deep spiritual humiliation are all rarely seen in the world.
Standing on the level of fairness and justice, we, the three countries of Afghanistan, strongly accuse the Jieke Group of canceling this clause. This unequal treaty has brought unprecedented disasters and is harmful to the world and all people. ”
The official accusation from Ah Sanguo was very severe, but the Jieke Group did not tolerate him at all.
For this reason, the media mouthpieces of Asan Kingdom frequently used lengthy pages to accuse the Jieke Group. The reason why Asan Kingdom did this was also due to their strategy of moving eastward.
The three countries have always been seeking to become a global power, especially their close neighbors, who want to expand their voice and influence in Southeast Asia.
The actions of the Jieko Group undoubtedly made Ah Sanguo feel unhappy. You took away so many of the friends he had made in Southeast Asia at once, and you still asked him to do anything.
If you feel unhappy, you will naturally come forward. Asan Kingdom is not afraid of the Jieke Group. They think that their military strength is second to none. The only ones stronger than themselves are Meiliguo, then themselves, followed closely by Damao, Daying, and China, Germany and Sakura.
As the world's second most powerful military country, the Asan Kingdom is not afraid of the Jieco Group, even if they share a large border with the Jieco Group's western territory.
Now that the Jieco Group is ignoring him and completely ignoring him, everyone in the Asan Kingdom is very angry. They feel that the Jieco Group really does not respect them and has not yet withdrawn from the Manchester City Treaty.
The signing of the Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance made this land that had just ended the war once again become turbulent and turbulent.
Manchester City!
Su Jie has not returned to Zen Kingdom, but is staying here in Manchester because there is a special execution ceremony that Su Jie plans to watch in person.
While waiting, Su Jie heard the news about the formation of the "Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance" by the beautiful country.
"Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance? They really want to create trouble for us without sparing any effort."
Su Jie didn't have much surprise on his face when he listened to Liu Yingying who came to report the news.
This is in line with Su Jie's consistent understanding of the beautiful country. They are either causing trouble or are on the road to causing trouble.
The beautiful country that has always been a hostile country will definitely not want to allow the Jieko Group to develop peacefully.
"After Siam's experience, these island countries still dare to join the Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance, relying solely on their naval strength. Among them, Java is the most active. They have just signed a warship base exchange agreement with the beautiful country. The beautiful country and its EU members , will provide Java with 15 second-hand destroyers and frigates, and Java will exchange some military bases and lease them to the United States for 99 years. Other Southeast Asian countries are also actively responding to the purchase of new and second-hand warships. "
Liu Yingying expressed her opinion, because the countries in the Thousand Islands Alliance are basically island countries, separated by the sea.
The navy of the Jieco Group is weak. Across the vast sea, it is impossible for a spider mecha to swim over and kill them, right?
And with the sea barrier, they have the confidence to dare to join the Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance.
Among them, Java, the country with the strongest economic strength, even did not hesitate to hand over islands to the beautiful country in exchange for second-hand destroyers to quickly increase its combat effectiveness.
"Ignore them for now. When their navy is built up, our navy's new equipment will almost be in service."
Su Jie shook his head. It is not appropriate for the Jieco Group to start a war now, and the naval strength is indeed the weakness of the Jieco Group.
Su Jie was waiting for time to wait until the new naval combat equipment was in line. Then it would not be too late to deal with these scurrying guys one by one.
"Due to the influence of the Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance, many foundry factories established by Western countries in Siam and Annan have been dismissed and suspended. Various electronic foundries, clothes and shoes, including investments from large companies such as Apple and Samsung, have shut down thousands of factories. A large number of workers have lost their jobs, and these relocated factories have gone to other Southeast Asian countries for development.”
Liu Yingying mentioned another thing. Southeast Asia has always been an area where Western countries have transferred low-end manufacturing.
Many new factories of various types have been built here, responsible for OEM production for Europe and the United States. Siam and Annan export hundreds of billions of dollars every year, and a large part of it is supported by this kind of OEM factory built with cheap and intensive labor.
Now that the "Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance" has come down, these capitals have been transferred one after another. Anyway, other countries in Southeast Asia also have abundant and cheap labor, and they can still operate if they move their factories.
It can be said that the beautiful country made this move to cut down the economy and broke the economic backbone of these countries in one fell swoop.
Although the Jieko Group does not rule the Siam and Annan countries, it does not need to care about the life and death of these countries.
However, the economies of these countries have declined and massive unemployment has emerged. As long as the beautiful countries seduce them, they can pass these conflicts on to the Jieco Group, making the local people more hostile to the Jieco Group, and at the same time also Disrupting the internal circulation market of Jieke Group consumes Jieke Group's energy.
"That's just right. Our Jieke Group will enter the market to occupy the blank market and recruit all those unemployed workers to raise insects and pigs."
Su Jie said without thinking that a normal country would have a headache when encountering this situation, but Su Jie didn't care at all.
Just use the extra labor to serve the Jieco Group and help them raise insects and pigs, so that the local economy is firmly tied to the Jieco Group. In this way, it will be more difficult for these countries to get rid of the control of the Jieco Group, killing two birds with one stone. .
With the Jieco Group's ability to attract money, and the fact that these countries have other economic capabilities, not only can they be self-sufficient in food, but they can also export large quantities of food, as long as the Jieco Group is here, these countries will not be able to cause chaos.
"I think so too, so let's go ahead and make arrangements."
"Don't worry, come with me to see a show."
Su Jie chatted with Liu Yingying for a while, and after the arrangements were made, Su Jie took Liu Yingying by car to a crowded place.
Because today is the execution day of the former King of Siam, Pupeng, the Jieko Group has sentenced Pupeng on dozens of crimes, and he will be executed today.
A large number of soldiers from the Jieko Group maintained security on the scene, and on the high platform, the king Pu Peng knelt on the ground, his body trembling, and his eyes full of fear.
There were so many people watching. Seeing that the Jieko Group was going to execute the king was an unparalleled shock to Siam, a country that has always respected the king.
It also made these people realize that the king would be executed, no different from ordinary people. In this way, the authority of the king was seriously affected, and the Jieko Group could better control this puppet country.
The person responsible for the execution of this execution was Baiya, the current king of Siam, who was appointed by Sujie.
As soon as Su Jie's car stopped, Baiya ran up very attentively and opened the door for Su Jie. After getting out of the car, Su Jie looked up at the high platform, smiled and said: "You really arranged the guillotine! You are so thoughtful."
But he saw that the torture instrument on the high platform was the ancient guillotine torture instrument. The bright side knife was heavy and sharp.
"Pupeng insulted Mr. Su and colluded with outsiders to kill his father. Beheading is already very merciful. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Let's do it this way."
Su Jie nodded, and Baiya led the way. The soldiers separated a passage, and Su Jie came all the way to the best viewing point.
There are reporters with cameras nearby, and they will be broadcast on the news.
In this way, the majesty of the Jieco Group is established, and the countries in Indochina can see what the consequences will be if they offend the Jieco Group.
Su Jie came here in a hurry. When Su Jie sat firmly, it was soon the execution time.
After Baiya resigned, he went down to give instructions. However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the scene, and the crowd began to push forward.
Liu Yingying was startled and said subconsciously: "What is the situation? Someone else wants to rob the law field?"
"With our arrangement, whoever dares to rob the execution site is not filming a movie."
Su Jie said in a funny way. In addition to a large number of heavily armed soldiers, there was also a company of Steel Battalion soldiers on guard. Anyone who dared to rob the court because he was not smart was simply because he thought his life was too long.
Turning his head to look in the direction of the commotion, Su Jie saw a group of shiny bald heads, shining very conspicuously in the crowd.
It was a group of monks wearing cassocks. Everyone had their hands clasped together and strolled. In front of them, there were policemen clearing the way for them, sirens blaring.
As they walked by, many people nearby knelt down and worshiped with expressions of reverence on their faces.
Su Jie even saw that the king of Baia also knelt down respectfully to the leader, an old monk, and knelt down to worship.
And after a while, Baiya hurried over and said breathlessly: "Mr. Susu, the situation is not good, the Monk King is here."
"Monk King?"
"Yes, the other party is the abbot of the Moran Buddhist Temple in Manchester, the monk king Pamomu, the 22nd monk king. In our country, Buddhism has a specialized organization, the eminent monks committee, and the highest leader is the monk king. The eminent monks committee consists of a monk It is composed of the king, 4 deputy monks and 8 elected senior monks, and is responsible for the precepts, regulations, publicity, welfare and other affairs of the Siam Sangha. ”
Baiya took a breath and told the matter quickly. He was afraid that Su Jie would accidentally offend the monk king, so he also gave Su Jie some education.
Hearing the identity of the person who came, Liu Yingying beside Su Jie couldn't help but said: "I just saw you kneel to him. It turns out that the other person's power is really that great."
She had heard about Buddhism. In Siam, all boys who believe in Buddhism must cut off their hair and become monks once they reach the age. Even the royal family and nobles are no exception. It has become an unwritten rule to become a monk after a period of time and then return to secular life. .
She thought it was a bit exaggerated before, but after seeing Baiya's attitude towards the Monk King just now, the rumors were obviously very credible.
Hearing this, Baiya explained: "It's like this. We have two kings in Siam, one is the secular king, and the other is the Buddhist leader monk king. More than 90% of the population in our country believe in Buddhism, and Buddhism has been deeply It has been integrated into the lives of our people, and its influence penetrates into all aspects. The king must also be a Buddhist, and he must kneel down and bow when meeting the monks to express his piety.”
After saying that, Baiya hesitated and said cautiously: "Mr. Su, the monk king came here this time to ask us to cancel the execution. Pupeng had been ordained by the monk king when he was young, so the monk king wanted to He wants us to let him go and save Pupeng. Mr. Su, do you think we should consider the position of Buddhism? Otherwise"
Before Baiya finished speaking, Su Jie interrupted him, raised his eyebrows and said: "Monk King - how many teachers does he have? Dare you ask me to let him go."
The scene was quiet for a while, and Baiya opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to answer. After a while, he finally reacted.
"Well, Mr. Su, the Monk King has no troops, but he is the highest spiritual leader of all Buddhist believers. Do we want to reject it directly?"
Baiya's voice became softer when he spoke. He was shocked by Su Jie's boldness.
You know, that is the supreme figure in Siam and is regarded as a god by all believers!
In the minds of the Buddhist people, the monk king is the symbol of faith in the spiritual soul. If Su Jie's words just now were heard by Buddhists, I am afraid it would cause an uproar.
"No need to say more, let him come and see me."
Su Jie waved his hand and asked Baiya to bring the person over.
Baiya felt that things were going to get worse, but he did not dare to disobey Su Jie and just turned around to find the monk king and bring someone over.
"A magic stick!"
Liu Yingying complained that she was an atheist from China, and she couldn't understand why Buddhism had such a high status in Siam, or even in the entire Indo-China Peninsula.
"Haha."
Su Jie just chuckled twice and said nothing more.
After a while, after some humble words of persuasion from Baiya, the monk king led several senior monks and walked slowly to Su Jie's side.
"Are you the monk king Pamomu?"
Su Jie touched his chin and looked at the old man at the head.
The other person was wearing a yellow cassock, his right shoulder was bare, he had fine gray stubble on his head, and his face was kind.
"How dare you behave like this when you meet the Monk King?"
Before monk king Pamomu could speak, other eminent monks nearby scolded Su Jie angrily.
Because Su Jie sat carelessly on a chair on the steps and looked down at the monk king and his entourage. This made the highly respected monks and others in Siam feel unhappy. Even the king had to kneel down and salute them. Su Jie was a heretic. How rude.
"Humph, what are you yelling about? This is our attitude, and we don't believe in Buddhism."
Liu Yingying rolled her eyes and said angrily, following Su Jie for so long, she had seen a lot of things in the world, and she didn't know a few monks.
"How dare you, a woman."
"Okay!"
The monk king suddenly spoke at this time and stopped his subordinates from speaking. Then he clasped his hands and said with a compassionate face: "Amitabha, I have seen Almsgiver Su. This poor monk came here because he has something important to ask for. Almsgiver Wusu is thinking of saving me. Since a person's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, I would like to be open to Pupeng Net. I am willing to guide him to shave his head and become a monk, and to repent to the Buddha in the Buddhist temple for the rest of his life. This can also create a good story. What do you think, Donor Su? "< br>
Su Jie smiled and said: "Look, Yingying, the monk king is so nice when he talks, but other monks don't practice Buddhism well enough! Learn more from your monk king."
The other eminent monks glared at Su Jie. If the monk king were not present, they would not be so restrained.
"Amitabha, I wonder what Su Shi's idea is?"
Monk King Pamomu lowered his eyelids and wanted to get the exact answer from Su Jie.
"I disagree."
Su Jie refused directly, making Baiya who was watching on the side nervous.
Pamomu's eyes twitched and he said: "Donor Su, the Buddha once said that you should put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. Pupeng was a Buddhist when he was young and respected the Buddha. Now all the crimes he has done have deprived him of the throne. , but he still has a heart for Buddha, why not give him a chance to change his past.
Moreover, Master Su, Buddhists all over the world are watching this matter. If you continue to insist on executing a Buddhist former king, it is really of great significance and will harm Buddhists all over the world.
On the contrary, if Donor Su can perform such a good deed, the whole world will see it. I am also willing to help Donor Su, take the precepts and recite sutras, and help you gain the support of the world. ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Jie suddenly understood that the other party's real purpose turned out to be this!
"You mean, I have a predestined relationship with Buddhism, so you want me to become a monk and become a lay disciple of yours?"
Su Jie's eyes were playful, the other party wanted to achieve his goal through this move.
Once Su Jie agrees, it is equivalent to clearly telling the world that in Siam, Buddhism is still everyone's spiritual leader and has the supreme status. Even Su Jie, a ruthless man who conquered Siam, has to kneel down and worship the Buddha. The status of Buddhism Never waver again.
"Donor Su, this is exactly the reason."
Pamomu nodded with compassion on his face, as if this opportunity he was willing to give Su Jie was already very rare.
"Haha, what a bald ass, the abacus is quite loud, but it's a pity that I found the wrong person."
Su Jie raised his eyebrows, and everyone present except Liu Yingying changed their expressions.
"The donor made such arrogant remarks, showing no order of dignity and inferiority, so he is no different from other animals."
"It is really vulgar. How can a person who does not respect the Buddha help manage the tens of thousands of people in Siam?"
"You haven't apologized to the Monk King yet, do you know what you are talking about?"
Those eminent monks became even more angry and cursed Su Jie.
