Two Realms: Don’t call me evil!

Chapter 453: The Sangha King - How many divisions does he have? (6K)

‘Thousand Islands Alliance? The United States is going to stir up trouble again! ’

‘I didn’t expect these Southeast Asian island countries to join this alliance. You know, Annan claimed to have millions of soldiers, but it was vulnerable and surrendered so quickly. These small island countries still want to compete with the Jeko Group. ’

‘The Jeko Group is only strong in the army. Now there is also India on land. Their army is also very large. The Jeko Group’s navy is weak. It depends on the Siamese and Annan navies to help hold the scene. These island countries dare to form gangs like this. ’

‘It took 46 days to conquer Siam, 8 days to conquer Lancang, 3 days to conquer Chenla, and 10 days to conquer Annan. It is simply a new era of European war. These island countries must unite to protect themselves. ’

‘I support the Kuril Alliance. The Jake Group forced several countries to sign the Manchester City Treaty through war. This is an unforgivable crime. This is to impose its own power on the four countries. No wonder our United States will impose sanctions on it. There is really no injustice. ’

‘The above is showing the chicken feet. The Jake Group stipulated in the Manchester City Treaty that it would station troops in four countries. Doesn’t your country also have troops stationed in other countries? What qualifications do you have to blame others? Rely on your thick skin? ’

‘That’s different. The United States stationed troops in other countries to maintain world order and peace, while the Jake Group’s troops stationed in other countries are to destroy order and oppress people. This is completely different. ’

‘As an Indian, I can’t help but speak out to protest against the atrocities of the Jake Group. The pitiful people of Indochina will be second-class people in the future. However, with the Kuril Alliance we joined, the Jake Group will definitely restrain itself. Our country is not one of those weak chicken countries. ’

With the signing of the Manchester City Treaty, the melon-eating crowds on the Internet watched the show and argued with each other.

The emergence of the Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance is mainly due to the domineering and arrogant behavior of the Jeko Group. The neighboring countries around the Jeko Group are deeply disturbed when they see the Manchester City Treaty.

After all, the Jeko Group has now become the de facto overlord of the Indochina Peninsula, so it is conceivable where it will turn its attention next.

Especially Johor. The Jeko Group annexed the southern territory of Siam and now borders Johor on the territory, which makes Johor terrified.

Not long ago, the Jeko Group carried out a series of cleansings against the Malays, and Johor protested against it.

As a result, he became the overlord of the Indochina Peninsula in a blink of an eye, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals swept away the dissatisfaction of the four countries and were returning to the court.

If he dislikes him during his return and leads the army down, they do not think that they can stop the attack of the Jeko Group's mecha troops with the army.

In the past, the only thing that Johor relied on was that it was an island country, with its territory divided into two parts, east and west, by the sea, and it did not border the Jeko Group.

As we all know, the Jeko Group's naval strength was very poor, and it was difficult to carry out cross-sea landing operations.

But this confidence suddenly disappeared as the Jeko Group dominated the Indochina Peninsula.

Because the naval strength of Annan and Siam was not weak, they united with each other to form a maritime coalition that was enough to form an advantage over Johor.

And Annan and Siam, who were beaten up by the Jeko Group, would probably find it difficult to refuse the Jeko Group's request.

It is not just Johor that is worried about maritime security, but other island countries in Southeast Asia are also worried about this, including Java, the strongest country in Southeast Asia.

This world's largest archipelago country, with its territory spanning Asia and Oceania, consists of 17,508 islands, known as the Thousand Islands Country, with a population of 280 million and a GDP of 1.5 trillion US dollars.

Their fragmented land is very afraid of a powerful navy. The only thing to be thankful for is that their Java Navy is strong enough to counter the maritime coalition led by the Jeko Group.

It can be said that after the news of the signing of the Manchester Treaty by the Jeko Group came, these Southeast Asian countries all raised their vigilance and began to consciously expand their armaments and train new soldiers. Joining the United States can also be regarded as having a backer to prevent the tragedy of Siam from happening to them.

With this military alliance organization, the United States has promised to lend money to help them build more frigates, destroyers, submarines, torpedo speedboats, etc., to help them build a navy capable of resisting the threat of the Jeko Group.

Although they knew that the United States was using this to sell arms, these countries that felt threatened still joined it one after another.

However, it is not that no one dared to jump in and ridicule, such as the Indian country, which was very restless after joining the Thousand Islands Alliance.

"The Manchester City Treaty is the Dzeko Group's comprehensive control and plunder of the Indochina Peninsula, and the Siamese authorities have completely become a tool for the Dzeko Group to rule the people.

The huge amount of compensation in this treaty, the serious loss of sovereignty, and the deep spiritual humiliation are all rare in the world.

We, India, stand on the level of fairness and justice and strongly accuse the Dzeko Group of canceling this clause. This unequal treaty that has brought unprecedented disasters is a harm to the world and all people."

The official accusation of India is very severe, but the Dzeko Group does not care about it at all.

For this reason, India's media mouthpieces have used a lot of pages to accuse the Dzeko Group, and India did so because of their strategy of moving eastward.

Asia has always been seeking to become a world power, especially its close neighbors, and wants to expand its voice and influence in Southeast Asia.

The actions of the Jake Group undoubtedly made India feel unhappy. You took away so many of the friends I made in Southeast Asia at once. How can I do anything?

If I feel unhappy, I will naturally stand up. India is not afraid of the Jake Group. They think that their military strength is second to none. The only country stronger than them is the United States, followed by themselves, followed by Russia, Britain, China, Germany and Sakura.

As the second most powerful military country in the world, India is not afraid of the Jake Group, even though they have a large territory bordering the Jake Group to the west.

Now the Jake Group ignores him and completely ignores him. India is very angry. They think that the Jake Group really does not respect them and does not withdraw the Manchester City Treaty.

The signing of the Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance has made this land that has just ended the war become turbulent again.

Manchester City!

Su Jie has not returned to Zen Country, but stayed in Manchester City, because there is a special execution ceremony that Su Jie plans to watch in person.

While waiting like this, Su Jie heard the news that the United States had formed the "Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance".

"Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance? They really want to create trouble for us without any effort."

Su Jie listened to Liu Yingying's report, without much surprise on his face.

This is consistent with Su Jie's consistent understanding of the United States. They are either making trouble or on the way to making trouble.

The United States, which has always been hostile, will definitely not think of letting the Jieke Group develop peacefully.

"With the experience of Siam, these island countries dare to join the Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance. They rely on naval strength. Among them, Java is the most active. They have just signed a warship exchange base agreement with the United States. The United States and its EU members will provide Java with 15 second-hand destroyers and frigates, and Java will exchange some military bases for lease 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 own views, because the countries in the Thousand Islands Alliance are basically island countries, separated by the sea.

The navy of the Jeko Group is a weak point. Across the vast ocean, the spider mecha can't swim over to attack them, right?

And the ocean barrier is the basis for them to join the Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance.

Among them, Java, which has the strongest economic strength, even gave up its islands to the United States in exchange for second-hand destroyers to quickly improve its combat effectiveness.

"Don't pay attention to them for the time being. When their navy is built up, our new naval equipment will almost be in service."

Su Jie shook his head. It is not appropriate for the Jeko Group to make a big move now, and the naval strength is indeed the weak point of the Jeko Group.

Su Jie is waiting for time. When the new naval equipment is in service, it will not be too late to deal with these guys one by one.

"Because of the influence of the Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance, many foundries established by Western countries in Siam and Annan have been shut down. Various electronic foundries, clothes and shoes, including investments from large companies such as Apple and Samsung, thousands of factories have stopped production, and a large number of workers have lost their jobs. These relocated factories have all gone to other Southeast Asian countries for development."

Liu Yingying talked about another thing. Southeast Asia has always been a region where Western countries have transferred low-end manufacturing.

Many new factories of various types have been built here to do OEM for Europe and the United States. Siam and Annan export hundreds of billions of US dollars every year, and a large part of them are supported by these cheap labor-intensive foundries.

Now that the "Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance" has come down, these capitals have been transferred. Anyway, other Southeast Asian countries also have abundant and cheap labor, and they can still operate by transferring factories.

It can be said that the United States has cut off the economic backbone of these countries in one fell swoop.

Although the Jeko Group does not rule Siam and Annan, it does not need to worry about the life and death of these countries.

However, the economies of these countries are in decline, and a large number of unemployment waves have emerged. As long as the United States entices them a little, these contradictions can be transferred to the Jieke Group, causing the local people to have more serious hostility towards the Jieke Group, while also disrupting the internal circulation market of the Jieke Group and consuming the energy of the Jieke Group.

"That's just right. Our Jieke Group will enter the market to occupy the blank market and recruit those unemployed workers to raise insects and pigs."

Su Jie said without hesitation. Normal countries would be very troubled when encountering such a situation, but Su Jie didn't care at all.

It's just right to use the extra labor force to serve the Jieke Group and help themselves raise insects and pigs, so that the local economy is firmly tied to the Jieke Group. In this way, it will be more difficult for these countries to get rid of the control of the Jieke Group, killing two birds with one stone.

With the Jieke Group's ability to attract money, and these countries themselves have other economic blood-making capabilities, they can be self-sufficient in food, and they can also export a large amount of food. As long as the Jieke Group is there, these countries will not be in chaos.

"I thought so too, let's go down and make arrangements."

"Don't worry, come with me to watch a show."

Su Jie chatted with Liu Yingying for a while, and after making arrangements, Su Jie took Liu Yingying to a crowded place by car.

Because today is the day when the former King of Siam, Pu Peng, is executed, the Jeko Group has sentenced Pu Peng to dozens of charges, and he will be executed today.

A large number of soldiers from the Jeko Group maintained law and order at the scene, and on the high platform, King Pu Peng knelt on the ground, his body trembling, his eyes full of fear.

There were many people watching. Seeing that the Jeko Group was going to execute the king, the shock was unparalleled for Siam, a country that always respected the king.

It also made these people realize that the king would also be executed, just like ordinary people. In this way, the king's authority was severely hit, and the Jeko Group could better control this puppet country.

The person in charge of the execution was the current King of Siam, Baiya, who was appointed by Su Jie.

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 platform and smiled and said, "You really arranged a guillotine! It's thoughtful."

But the torture instrument on the platform was an ancient guillotine torture instrument, and the sharp side blade was heavy and sharp.

"Pupong insulted Mr. Su and colluded with outsiders to kill my father. Beheading him is already very merciful. Do you have any other instructions?"

"Let's do it this way."

Su Jie nodded, and Baiya led the way in front. The soldiers separated a passage, and Su Jie came all the way to the best viewing point.

There were also reporters carrying cameras on the side, which would be broadcast on the news at that time.

In this way, the majesty of the Jieke Group was established, and the countries in the Indochina Peninsula would also see what the consequences of offending the Jieke Group would be.

Su Jie came on time, and when Su Jie sat firmly, it was soon time for execution.

After Baiya left, he went down to give instructions, but at this moment, the scene suddenly became a little commotion, and the crowd began to squeeze forward.

Liu Yingying was startled and subconsciously said, "What's going on? Someone wants to rob the execution ground?"

"With our arrangement, who dares to rob the execution ground? This is not a movie."

Su Jie said with a smile. In addition to a large number of fully armed soldiers, there was also a company of steel battalion soldiers on guard. Anyone who dared to rob the execution ground was simply asking for his own death.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the commotion, Su Jie saw a group of shiny bald heads, which were very conspicuous in the crowd.

They were a group of monks wearing cassocks, each with their hands folded, walking leisurely. In front, there were police to clear the way for them, and the sirens were flashing.

As they walked by, many people nearby knelt down, their faces full of reverence.

Su Jie even saw that King Baya also knelt down respectfully to the old monk who was the leader, and performed the kneeling ceremony.

After a while, Baiya hurried over, panting, "Mr. Susu, the situation is not good, the Sangha King is here."

"Sangha King?"

"Yes, the other party is the abbot of the Mancheng Moran Buddhist Temple, Sangha King Pamomu, the 22nd Sangha King. In our country, Buddhism has a special organization, the Sangha Committee, and the highest leader is the Sangha King. The Sangha Committee consists of 1 Sangha King, 4 Deputy Sangha Kings and 8 elected senior monks, who are responsible for the precepts, regulations, publicity, welfare and other matters of the Siamese Sangha."

Baiya took a breath and told the story quickly. He was afraid that Sujie would accidentally offend the Sangha King, so he also gave Sujie some popular science.

Hearing the identity of the person who came, Liu Yingying next to Su Jie couldn't help but say: "I just saw you kneeling to him. It turns out that he really has that much power."

She had heard about Buddhism. In Siam, all Buddhist boys, once they reach a certain age, must shave their heads and become monks. Even the royal family and the nobles are no exception. After a period of time, they return to secular life. This has become an unwritten rule.

She used to think it was a bit exaggerated, but seeing Baiya's attitude towards the monk king just now, the rumors are obviously very credible.

Hearing this, Baiya explained: "It's like this. In our Siam, there are two kings, one is a secular king, and the other is the Buddhist leader, the Sangha. More than 90% of the population in our country believe in Buddhism. Buddhism has been deeply integrated into the lives of our people, and its influence permeates all aspects. The king must also be a Buddhist. When meeting the Sangha, he must kneel and bow to express his piety."

Speaking of this, Baiya hesitated and said carefully: "Mr. Su, the Sangha came here this time to ask us to cancel the execution. When Pu Peng was young, he had received the precepts and Dharma from the Sangha, so the Sangha wanted us to let him go and save Pu Peng. Mr. Su, do you think we should consider the position of Buddhism, otherwise..."

Before Baiya finished speaking, Su Jie interrupted him and raised his eyebrows and said: "Sangha - how many teachers does he have? Dare to let me release him."

The scene was quiet for a while, Baiya opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to answer, and after a while, he finally reacted.

"Well, Mr. Su, the Sangha has no troops, but he is the highest spiritual leader of all Buddhist believers. Should we refuse directly?"

Baya's voice became smaller. He was shocked by Su Jie's boldness.

You know, that is the supreme figure in Siam, worshipped as a god by all believers!

In the minds of Buddhists, the Sangha is a symbol of faith in the spiritual soul. If Su Jie's words just now were heard by Buddhists, it would probably cause an uproar.

"No need to say more, let him come to see me."

Su Jie waved his hand and asked Baya to bring the person over.

Baya felt that things were going to develop a bit badly, but he didn't dare to disobey Su Jie's words, so he just turned around and asked the Sangha to bring people over.

"A charlatan!"

Liu Yingying complained. She was from China and was an atheist. She couldn't understand why Buddhism had such a high status in Siam and even in the entire Indochina Peninsula.

"Hehe."

Su Jie just chuckled twice and didn't say much.

After a long while, after Baiya's humble persuasion, the monk king took a few monks and walked slowly to Sujie's side.

"Are you the monk king Pamomu?"

Sujie touched his chin and looked at the old man in the lead.

The other party wore a yellow cassock, his right shoulder was bare, there were fine gray hair on his head, and his face was kind.

"How dare you be so rude to the monk king?"

Before the monk king Pamomu spoke, other monks on the side scolded Sujie.

Because Sujie sat on the steps and looked down at the monk king and his party, this made the monks and others who were highly respected in Siam feel unhappy. Even the king had to kneel down to them, and Sujie, a pagan, was so rude.

"Huh, what are you yelling about? This is our attitude. We don't believe in Buddhism."

Liu Yingying rolled her eyes and said unhappily. She had been with Sujie for so long and had seen the world. She would not be intimidated by a few monks.

"How dare you, woman."

"All right!"

The monk king suddenly spoke up at this time, stopping his men from speaking, and then he put his hands together, with a compassionate face, and said: "Amitabha, meet Mr. Su. I came here this time to ask for an important matter. Mr. Su, thinking that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, let Pu Peng go. I am willing to guide him to shave his head and become a monk, and repent and pray to Buddha in the Buddhist temple for the rest of his life. This can also create a good story. What do you think, Mr. Su?"

Su Jie smiled and said: "Yingying, look, the monk king's words are nice, and other monks' Buddhist practice is not good enough! Learn more from your monk king."

The other monks glared at Su Jie. If the monk king was not present, they would not be so restrained.

"Amitabha, I wonder what Mr. Su thinks?"

The monk king Pamomu lowered his eyelids, wanting to get a definite answer from Su Jie.

"I don't agree."

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 if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha right away. Pu Peng was a Buddhist when he was young, and he respected Buddha. Now all the crimes he has committed have deprived him of his throne, which is what he deserves. But he still has a heart for Buddha, so why not give him a chance to change his ways.

And Donor Su, Buddhists all over the world are watching this matter. If you continue to act on your own and execute a former Buddhist king, it will be a big deal and will offend Buddhists all over the world.

On the contrary, if Donor Su can do this good deed, the whole world will see it, and I am willing to help Donor Su, take the precepts and recite the scriptures, so that you can get the support of the world."

As soon as these words came out, Su Jie immediately understood that the other party's real purpose was this!

"You mean, I have a connection with Buddhism, so let me become a monk and be your lay disciple?"

Su Jie's eyes were playful, and the other party wanted to achieve his goal through this action.

Once Su Jie agreed, it would be equivalent to telling the world clearly that in Siam, Buddhism is still the spiritual leader of everyone and has the supreme status. Even Su Jie, the ruthless man who conquered Siam, has to kneel down and worship Buddha, and the status of Buddhism will never be shaken.

"Donor Su, that's exactly the truth."

Pamomu nodded, with a compassionate face, as if he was willing to give Su Jie this opportunity, which was already very rare.

"Haha, what a bald donkey, the abacus is really loud, but it's a pity that you found the wrong person."

Su Jie raised his eyebrows, and everyone present, except Liu Yingying, changed their faces.

"Donor is so arrogant, there is no order of respect and inferiority, how different from animals."

"It's really vulgar. How can such a person who doesn't respect Buddha help manage millions of people in Siam?"

"Why don't you apologize to the king of monks? Do you know what you are saying?"

The monks were even more angry and scolded Su Jie.
