Dvesas
The Book of Cheng Ho
His reaction to King Daneswara and his mother after two days in Dwipajaya. His witness returns to Jiwang, after making sure Laksmi gets a decent place to live and work. King Daneswara with a heart of hearts raised Laksmi to be one of the cooks in the kitchen special soldier.
It was noon, the sun was directly overhead. The heat made the Saksenya angry. His witness watched the workers were very exhausted while from a distance Bansheer was busy lecturing them.
"Go back to Suballa. From today on Jiwang is under my supervision" Bansheer said.
His witness happily allowed Bansheer to take care of the land back and it was certain what Jiwang would be like in the future.
"Well, I'll bring back King Nakula's soldiers"
His witness immediately prepared for their return and will leave tomorrow morning for Suballa. Saksenya's feelings are not good because Bansheer allows himself to go without inviting him to fight muscles. Never mind, why bother the affairs of Astapura. There's a lot to do in Suballa when I get there.
His witness took his soldiers to an inn near the harbor. He picked up his mother as well as saying goodbye to the king and members of the royal family.
In the early hours of the morning, they sailed through secret shipping lanes.
"Thank you uncle. Thanks to my uncle I was able to do my job well"
King Nakula patted his Saxon shoulder.
"That's all I can do. Now that I am not young anymore one by one my duties have been taken over by my successor" Nakula said.
"What uncle did was more than enough" his witness looked into King Nakula's eyes.
"Look at your son, my sister, he's more mature than I last saw him" Nakula told her mother.
Sonarika nodded confirming Nakula's speech.
"Let's stay here a few more days" Nakula advised Saksenya and Sonarika, so that Bansheer and Astapura would not be suspicious of their brief return.
His witness hates warfare but cannot be denied the basic science of warfare must he master who knows in the future the science can help him.
"Master, there's bad news" whispered the spy who met Nakula in her study.
"Klan Tengri has sailed to Southeast Asia. It is not yet clear what the motive is, it seems they want to regulate trade relations"
"Hagai Khan" whispered Nakula.
The world has heard of the greatness of Hagai Khan. He controlled the plains of China and West Asia. Due to his success, there was a strange rumor about Hagai that the man had a science that could disappear, and did not hesitate to eat human hearts. Sounds too much for a human.
Regulating trade relations does not sound like profitable negotiations but rather doom in plain sight.
Nakula recalled the atrocities committed by the Tengri clan in Joseon and Nippon even Cheng Ho did not dwell before Hagai.
Nakula took a deep breath.
This small clan is from Mongolia. They have physical features that are striking compared to other clans in West Asia. They live moving places, building camps, raising livestock, fishing, farming done on the basis of family and gotong royong. What a solid clan.
Once again Nakula opened the book of the voyage of admiral Cheng Ho who bought it from a beggar in the archipelago. The contents of the book are very detailed complete with maps and shipping lanes of Cheng Ho. Cheng Ho even described potential places in the archipelago.
To this day Nakula always thought how it was possible for a beggar to have or write this book in great detail. If only the beggar sold it to just anyone, then the archipelago would be flat with land.
The book tells little about the origin of Zheng He and his differences with the Tengri clan until he decided to sail to Southeast Asia and settle in the archipelago.
There is no other specific information other than the physical features and economic system of the Tengri clan. The page contains only the remaining two paragraphs left blank. The next page has already discussed another Cheng Ho story.
