After the battle of Miaotun, the Naoxiu organizers quickly tried the prisoners - if it was not carried out as soon as possible, would these 16 robbers still be left for the New Year. Because the evidence is overwhelming, these people were convicted of war crimes and then paid with their lives for atrocities.

When some of the most notorious thugs were sentenced to death, they dragged the rest of the Lucians into the water - the bandits had done almost all the bad things when they reached the mouth of the Wulong River, and there was absolutely no innocent person.

While the prisoners were being judged, everyone was busy with a new task - the Great Retreat.

There are more than 900 Hezhe people in Woydtun, nearly 200 residents of Miaotun plus those rescued from the black prison of the outpost, plus the soldiers and sailors of the outpost, a total of more than 1,300 people.

In fact, it is not a big problem to transport slowly, but the key is not to transport slowly.

It's June 26 in the Western calendar, and the North Sea is navigable in July, so the supply ships and warships of the Lusians will arrive as early as mid-July and early August at the latest. From Miaotun to Baizhu, the fastest clipper boat takes about 7 days to make a round trip, and the slower boat may take 20 days or more.

Ruthless, but hard, five ships can only carry about 400 people at a time, so this time it may be necessary to face the Lucian naval army head-on, which is not in line with the original plan.

Plans are not as fast as changes.

Originally, the plan of the camp was to defeat the Lucians by the end of June, and then evacuate all at once.

As for the tribal migration, originally only the inhabitants of Woydtun were considered, and to help them migrate upstream, it was enough to send them by boat for a day or two. Even if someone is willing to follow back to the White Lord, it is only for the old and young in the temple, and a hundred people can be settled, and if there are many people, you can consider evacuating in sections - first send the people to the coastal area in the south, and then slowly transport them to the White Lord.

Anyway, the Lusians would go to Miaotun as early as mid-July to replenish supplies, and according to the original plan, this time window was still possible, but now the number of people has more than tripled compared to estimates, of course, it is a mess.

Don't say anything, hurry up and start to divert while starting to ship.

From the next day, Shirakumaru first went south to establish a temporary base, and the other ships returned to Woydtun to start transporting people, and Naohide ordered: except for food and ordnance, all supplies could be dispensed without.

Before the battle, the leader Zalasi was left in place to guard the supplies, and in order to repay him and the Woydtun people for their support, this retreat took precedence over them, but Zalasi had to stay behind to assist the Fan Group in channeling the crowd.

All the family members of the leaders who were originally detained by the Lucia people were also put back, and Naoxiu's original intention was to give these leaders one more choice - what is good about retreating from the court, you don't know where to go, and there is no guarantee of how to live in the future, so hurry up and flee upstream along the river.

In the past, it took a lot of effort to recruit the people recruited, and the light agent was expected to be three taels of gold per person, and he also had to promise conditions such as food and shelter and promise a bright future, but this time it was the other way around, and most of the Hezhe people had to retreat with the institute anyway, and they could sell themselves.

The Lucia people can choke them enough, and Naoxiu they defeated the ferocious Lucia, obviously the thick thighs, and the military discipline of the fan group is maintained very well, these people feel that it must be wrong to go with Naoxiu them.

As soon as the Woydtun people began to evacuate, this impression was immediately deepened

, what is the future is not going, why are the people of Zalasi rushing to get on the ship.

No matter how Zalasi explains, what Woydtun is a battlefield, here is the primary object of revenge of the Lucia people, everyone doesn't believe it, we don't know what virtues the Lusia people have, is it the battlefield has to be retaliated against, no one can live, Brother Zalasi, you can't forget your roots, you and I are a family from the ancestors, no matter what, you have to help arrange everyone on the boat.

The more he explained, the more chaotic it became, and at this time the boat had already left, and Naohide ordered that if they were willing to retreat with the boat, they would all go to Miaotun by land together, and as a result, most of the people were willing to go to Miaotun, and only one small tribe was willing to go up the river. Zhixiu was overjoyed and gave this small tribe of less than 100 people five horses and a lot of supplies, hoping to play a leading role in differentiation, "Go up the river, I heard that the upstream not only has more prey but also produces gold, and you are not a human being." ”

It may be that there are too many things, and this small tribe has not left Woydtun before it has infighting, and the head of the leader is beaten and the blood is broken, and the rest of the people unanimously say, "I don't want anything, we just want to go with you." "What a.

Not everyone is willing to leave, and there are also some who are unable to leave their homeland and are ready to stay in their homeland. But isn't this a pit man, everyone knows what virtue the Lucia people have, and Naoxiu had to announce that he wanted to leave the entire tribe and the entire tunzi, and he couldn't leave these people to the bandits anyway. The Hezhe people have a strong tribal concept, and the final result is that the majority defeats the minority, and everyone follows them.

At this point, what is there to fantasize about. Go, go, the group established a foothold on the way, and everyone's might, helping the old and the young rushed to Miaotun. The road is very hard, the road is a wild road, the mountains and forests on both sides are infested with black bears, wolves and other wild beasts, fortunately there are many people who migrate, and there is no big mess with each other's help. Moreover, in the last battle of Woydtun, more than 50 tall horses were captured, and horses helped transport supplies, which saved a lot of effort.

At the same time, the wounded and some old and young can also take a boat to Miaotun - the big boat is gone, but there are still some canoes, and the Hezhe people are very familiar with fishing and hunting, and Miaotun is not far away, and it is not a big problem to fall down the river.

Zhixiu was afraid of chaos, so he divided the crowd into several groups and set off one after another, and it was not until July 2 that the last group arrived at Miaotun. By this time, the fleet had already carried several groups of people away—in order to be as effective as possible, Manjiro Nakahama dismantled the fleet, and walked as fast as he could, as slowly as he walked, in short, he couldn't stop and let me die.

After saving for almost two years, there were only six ships in total, the white main maru, 2 battleships, and 3 debate ships, and Okubo went to Edo to take away the battleships - because the battleships were smaller than the tonnage of the debate ships, and this was only under the shogunate's "ban on the construction of large ships" that such a strange thing could happen, and the carrying capacity of the warships could not exceed 500 koku, and the ships of the debate with more than 1,000 koku could be built because of the concession.

Anyway, the Fuso battleship can't beat the Western gunboats, so Naohide would rather take the defense ship to the north, and more or less decorate it.

Of these ships, the Bunsho was the slowest and the Hakujomaru was the fastest, so Manjiro sailed them separately in order to get the most out of them.

In addition, there is a group of people who play an unexpected role.

After the people of the money house took refuge in Naoxiu, they have been existing as slaves of the Hori family. This time he went north, and Naohide deliberately brought all the soldiers and sailors with him, with the intention of letting these guys cast a name and not think about running away all day long. But these people are all veterans of the secret trade of the money house, and they are not only quite familiar with the sea conditions in the northern part of the Whale Sea, but also good at it

There are quite a lot of sailors. With the help of these people, all boats except clippers could sail day and night - if the moon was brighter.

June 29 of the Western calendar is the fifteenth day of the Chinese lunar calendar, and the rainy season in Fuso arrives with the northward movement of the Pacific monsoon, and it will not reach the northern part of the Whale Sea until August - this time Zhixiu has taken shit luck, he has considered the monsoon and the rainy season, but he really did not take into account the changes of the moon.

Under the threat of the great reputation of the Lucian people, the bow and sailors desperately transported, and the Hezhe people were also very cooperative, honestly carrying their belongings on the ship in an orderly manner, and on July 5, the tenth day after the battle of Miaotun, not only more than 1,100 Hezhe and half of the Ban group soldiers were sent away, but also some of the supplies were also transported.

This result was something that Naohide, Manjiro and everyone didn't expect.,Originally, Naohide thought it would be good to be able to transport people away before July 10.,Now it's completely relieved.。

On July 9, except for Yongning Temple, Naoxiu burned down the temple and then left with everyone. When the two groups stationed at the winter camp at the mouth of the river came aboard, everyone cheered loudly, "Wan Sheng! Wansheng! "—— After leaving the estuary, the security has been greatly increased, how can the Lucian warship find us so easily in the vast sea!

The temporary stronghold is about 200 kilometers south of the estuary, Naohide takes the white main pill to leave first, and the person who travels a hundred miles is half ninety, and the following is to organize everyone to withdraw from the temporary stronghold to Maka, and then withdraw from the white lord from Maka, this more than 1,000 people eat horses and chew, it is not an easy task.

It wasn't until the end of July that most of the personnel were evacuated to Moka, but the transportation continued, but by this time Naohide had already returned to the White Master with half of the team to prepare for the battle. Although the value of human beings is immeasurable, in the brutal 19th century, you don't have to choose between reality and the decision will be made for you.

Maka is better, Naohide left the 3-inch rifled gun in Moka, and besides, even if you can't beat it, everyone can flee inland; The most dangerous thing now is the navy and the fighters who stay in the temporary stronghold, if they encounter the gunboats of the Lucians, the only thing they can do is to flee for their lives - except for the white main maru, the other sea ships basically can't escape, and it is good to be able to rush the beach.

When Manjiro Nakahama, the head of the navy, was separated from Naohide, he whispered to Naohide, "Big ship! The white lord must build a big ship! Naoxiu was silent about this, and the two shed tears after exchanging guns.

The date of Naoxiu's return to the white lord was a few days later than the original date, Yingzi and the people who stayed behind were very worried, and Naohide didn't care to comfort Yingzi after he came back, and immediately announced that the white lord would close the port after getting off the ship, and all outsiders would leave immediately.

By the time Naohide had left, merchant ships from Saga and Satsuma had already arrived, replenishing the White Lord with some grain, coal, and other supplies—but they had largely returned empty-handed, and October was the time for a large trade between the two sides.

After the fall of the money house, no new merchants came to visit the white lord, except for the original few own merchants, only the warship of the Matsumae family had come to visit, and Okubo was not in charge of Eiko and the heads of the various groups, and everyone refused to allow the ships to enter the port on the grounds that "the acting official went out to investigate, so they would not be accepted". After that, the Matsumae family's ship continued eastward, presumably to find Seal Island.

By the beginning of August, Okubo had not returned to Edo, and the Lucian gunboats had not appeared, but the rice ships had entered the harbor as promised—two steam-sail hybrid merchant ships, two whaling ships, and two steam river warships.

Naohide hugged Gakujiro who walked down from the boat and laughed, Eiko wiped her tears on the side, and her younger brother, who had been at sea for six years and three years apart, finally came back.
