"What a faux pas!" The Hayato at the bow of the boat sneezed a few times, and he quickly apologized to the great monk Xiunian next to him.

"Buddha bless." Xiunian smiled and comforted Hayato in turn, after all, this is the child he watched grow up, not to mention that Hayato has suffered a lot in Edo recently, so everyone on the boat takes good care of Falato.

Hayato was the white lord who left in the middle of April in the Western calendar, and his fleet traveled south along the eastern shore of Ezo and then on the Tokai Road, which took only 20 days to reach Edo in early May.

And after arriving in Edo, Hayato's hard life began.

Ever since he submitted the official document to the survey office in Jiangwai City, he has been stuck in a long wait for official business.

The head of the group, Ogura Toshiya, who gave official duties to Naohide last time, didn't even show his face, and only one of the surveys called Inoue Uemon came forward to perfunctory him.

The crying child grows up fast, and Naohide's explanation to Hayato is to go to Edo to cry out and get help, so Hayato runs to the Kanding every day to pretend to be pitiful and wait for news.

It can't be said that Inoue is the only one who receives him, and there are usually many people who come to ask, but at first Hayato couldn't figure out the heels of these people, and patiently answered all kinds of unbelievable questions, such as "Is there a white lord's winter snow", "Is the woman of the native with a high nose and white skin", and so on. Later, Hayato found out that some of these people were not even from the Survey Office, and everyone came to listen to the story for fun.

Hayato was extremely patient, and he didn't turn his face after finding out, and took the initiative to talk to these people about the white master's grass and trees. But there was nothing to talk about all winter, except for the raid of the Ainu and a few hunts, it was all cats moving in the cabins, and there was nothing new to hear about it, and after a few days, there were no more people to listen to the story.

Naoxiu wrote extremely miserably in the official document, and when he arrived at the white lord, he found that he had no peace under his rule, nothing to do, no food or drink, and the Ainu were still unruly, so he asked the survey office to give people, money, boats, and weapons, and he almost wrote "The call is to migrate, hungry and thirsty".

Therefore, everyone in the survey office thinks that the White Lord Worship Office is a pleasure, and they have seen it miserable, but they have never seen such a miserable thing, and it seems that the acting official will not be able to survive it soon. In particular, Naohide's IOU to the merchant was passed on to the survey office by whom, and everyone was even more happy, and immediately regathered a group of people to listen to Naoyoshi Hori tell the story, but it didn't last long, and the group disappeared again.

Hayato went to the survey office every day to wait for a reply, and in the end, the Kanakami Uemon who was waiting for him was also annoyed, and he found a reason to scold Hayato, and Hayato didn't have anything to do about it, so he had to ask Uemon to go to Yoshiwara once, and then he heard the truth clearly.

It turned out that it was rumored that someone from above had sent a message to the survey office a long time ago, implying that he wanted to hang the white lord office, I won't go to you, and you won't look for me if you have something. At this time, Naohide's teacher, Mr. Egawa Tanan, was casting a big cylinder in Jiushan Mountain, so no one in the survey office spoke for the white master for the time being-the head of the group saw that there was no "big event" written in the official document, but it was just a surprise attack by the natives, and Naohide Hori was still alive, so let's do it first.

Hayato felt that Kanding's hope was gone, so he hurried back to report to his mistress to see if there was any other way.

Since Yingzi received Naoxiu's letter from home, she began to pack her bags. She reassured Hayato not to worry, Naohide had expected such a situation.

Although Naohide gave both Caiya and Shigeya IOUs, both said that it didn't matter if it was a little money and drizzle, and they would continue to support Naohide - Caiyaya was Ryoma's state, and he said that Caiyaya's sake

The business with taro burning is getting better and better, and this money is nothing.

However, the main store of Caiya is in Tosa Kochi, and there is no news on whether it will send a ship to Hokkaichi this year.

Behind the happy event is the Zaoya group, everyone is now at stake, and the four masters expressed their firm support for Naoxiu, and when Hayato returned to the white master, he still sent a boat to accompany him.

Because Naoxiu has now opened his mouth, saying that the more people who come, the better, and the Zaowu group has gathered more than a dozen teenagers from relatives and friends, all of whom are second sons, third sons or something - no way, poor martial arts disciples are not easy to find things to do, go to the north to fight, and say that the loess will turn into gold!

As for Kii Kuniya Rihachi, he is even more wealthy, he promised to send a ship to the north again, according to his words, rice, flour, grain, oil, sauce, vinegar, tea, these are all handed over to him, it doesn't matter if the money is not money.

On Mr. Egawa Tanan's side, Murata Eitoshi has already rushed to Nirayama for help, and it is estimated that there will be results in the next two days.

Hayato was raised by Yingzi, and if he cares, he is chaotic, and he is afraid that Yingzi will underestimate the difficulties of the white master, so he reminded him euphemistically, but Yingzi was very arrogant, saying that everything was arranged, properly, rest assured.

What Hayato didn't expect was that Master Xiunian of Kaneiji Temple and Mr. Ito Genpo of Elephant Sendo also prepared to organize a group of people to go north after receiving Naohide's letter.

The temple is a non-human workplace, and these people are usually protected by Kaneiji Temple, and their lives are more stable than their companions.

But this time, the great monk Xiunian had a showdown with the abbot, saying that he was going to the north to develop and asked the abbot for support.

Xiu Nian is the personal disciple of the previous abbot, the new abbot wishes he would get out of the house as soon as possible, I heard that Xiu Nian is leaving, a hundred farewells, it is right to bring some people, who dares not to go, don't blame the Buddha for turning his face and showing his magical powers!

And Mr. Ito Hyun Park agreed to Naohide last year, and this time he sent two students to fulfill the contract.

A few days later, Murata who had returned from Nirayama also brought good news.

Mr. Tanan felt guilty about Nao-so, and always felt that this student had helped him a lot but was burdened by himself. Naoxiu left in a hurry last year, and he didn't give any specific support because he had a lot of affairs, so he was ready early this morning.

After all, Mr. Tanan was the shogunate's Kanken Ginmi, Haiphong, and Niriyama Acting Officer, and he was properly powerful, and he scrapped two warships and prepared to dispose of them to Naohide at a low price, even if he didn't have any money to owe them first, in addition, he also asked for thirty middle-aged men from the floating people's shelter on Ishikawa Island, and assigned a few students from his private school, the Rope Martial Arts Hall, to Shiraishi.

As for the machine tools, cast iron, thirty smoothbore flintlock pistols and black gunpowder that Naohide asked for in his letter, he was also ready, and he took the path of the survey office to grant it to the white lord acting as an official, and he did it steadily—Naohide was Jiang Chuan's proud protégé, and no one could say anything about the teacher's welfare for the students.

In addition, the new head of the Nirayama Iron and Steel Institute won the victory of Yibang, which was very effective. Although the small blast furnace did not reach the designed capacity due to the insufficient supply of raw materials and fuel, it also ran smoothly, and Shengyibang was quite talented in firearms manufacturing and machinery, and the machine tool was successfully copied after the year, so it was not a problem to give some to Zhixiu.

Mr. Tanan took the time to go back to Edo, and under his intervention, Naohide's requirements were basically met in addition to the warship and money - according to Mr. Tanan's words, the warship was too sensitive to give, and the money, after taking it, it was a handle, and it was impossible to ask for it, in short, it was pragmatic and practical, and it was good to take advantage of the real advantage.

And he also helped Monk Xiunian get the official document of the temple shrine - if you don't have this thing, it is illegal to build a temple in Baizhu.

In the middle of June of the Western calendar, the fleet of the white lord of the north set off again.

This time, the mother of the Hori family, Eiko, left Fukutaro to ask her parents to take care of her, and the rest of the Hori family all went north this time except for Fukutaro, and even Ninomiya rice was not left behind.

Although Mr. Tanan half-sold and half-gave away two ships, there were only four ships with Kinokuniya and a heavy event, and some cargo was also loaded, and this time there were more people than last time, and it was not small at all, and finally he hired a merchant ship to run the Tokai Road for a long time, and then he went north along the Tokai Road.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Naoxiu finally met Yingzi and others at the end of June in the Western calendar.

Xiao Bisheng is newly married, not to mention that they have been separated for ten months. When Naoxiu went out refreshed the next day, he suddenly found that the white lord had become a big workshop again-no way, although the wooden house had been being built, the number of people was increasing faster.

Because of the discovery of Seal Island, everyone unanimously agreed that all the new middle-aged men would be incorporated into the group, so that they could set up a sailor army to hunt as soon as possible.

Naohide mixed newcomers and old people.,In addition to the original 4 land groups.,There are 2 new land groups.、1 town fire pay thieves reorganization.、4 water army groups.,Or 1 group of 10 people.,A total of 110 people in 11 groups.。

For the head of the navy, Zhixiu has already been selected, but because this person has not arrived, Zhixiu has no choice but to lead the navy in person. In addition, there are still 7 group leaders missing.,Naohide asked the people of the original group to launch 6 candidates together.,The other 1 place was given to the students who came to the Rope Martial Arts Hall this time - Mr. Tan'an's face still has to take care of Di.。

Naohide thought twice and turned Naoyoshi Hori into the leader of the group of the naval army, Hijikata Suizo, who lost the Battle of Miyako Bay in the later generations, and this time gave him a chance to be ashamed.

As for the armament, in view of the large number of people, Naohide did not dare to fire the breech rifle again this time - the newcomer received the weapon and said that he had lost it, and as a result, he appeared in Edo a few months later, and the matter was a big deal.

He gathered forty flintlock pistols out, and the rest of the people took knives, guns, bows and arrows first—Naohide was going to pretend to make a homemade breech rifle next month, but what about the fire cap of the metal bullet casing? The chemicals involved are now not produced in Fuso as a whole. In addition, there are a lot of other loopholes, such as military uniforms and the like, forget it, let's take a step at a time, I didn't oppose the shogunate, and it doesn't matter if the white lord is strong in the future. If you can't do it, you can only go to sea and flee.

After arranging his wife, Naohide rushed directly to Seal Island with Shiromaru and the newly arrived five boats.

By the beginning of July, there had been a lot less drift ice, and by this time Sukezaburo had also contacted the local tribe and began to prepare large quantities of timber in a nearby coastal settlement.

In addition to the three fan groups left behind, the other fan groups of the White Lord Shrine poured out. Throughout July, they went on a hunt on Seal Island, eventually obtaining nearly 20,000 pelts, and in the later part of the hunt, the entire Ainu tribe in the southwest of North Ezo was involved, with a total of nearly 1,000 people toiling on the shore and six boats transporting non-stop, which saved most of the meat.

As for the furs, they can only be cleaned up for the time being, and then slowly tanned in a nearby hot spring after being transported back to the white master.

During this period, there were several conflicts between the Ainu and the people of the White Lord Shrine, but the iron cannon of the Fan Group was demonstrated in advance, and the performance was extremely sharp, plus the different proportions of the quota of meat used by Naohide early divided the various tribes, and the most important thing is that the tribes are usually not in unison, and there is no big contradiction in being able to take meat for nothing, so in the end, there is still a thrilling end to this big hunt.
