From December 1642, according to the latest directives of the Executive Committee, the Cheung Son Camp was no longer to accept new prisoners. Instead, Australia's Gushan and Jinshan ports became the latest places of exile for prisoners. Not only will ordinary criminals be exiled there, but even some "cultists" who would have been shot will be pardoned for death and exiled to be re-educated through labor in order to enrich the population.

More than two months have passed, and more than 60 criminals who are about to be exiled to Australia have been sentenced in China, including the group of people from the underground biblical lecture organized by Father Garcia, who were arrested in Coal River Township a while ago. As for the soft-boned Father Garcia, he temporarily picked up a dog's life, joined the night watch of the Religious Affairs Office, and began to hunt down his former companions, the Jesuit priests, for the East Coasters.

……

May 2, 1643, Port of Ober, Sakhalin. After more than half a year, the people from the east coast who arrived here again caused a sensation among the local natives, and this time the people from the east coast came with three large ships, each with a deep draft, and it seemed to be full of various goods.

It was the first time for Mo Ming to come to the scene of the Shandan trade, so he was very interested. It's just that maybe it's too early, or maybe it's due to other reasons, there are many fewer Shandan people who come to Dabo to trade this year than in previous years. Mo Ming probably also knows the reason for the Dao, which is actually related to the grim situation that the Shandan people are facing now.

Beginning at the end of 1639, the Manchu Huangtaiji sent Samushka and Suohai to march into the Heilongjiang River valley with 16,000 troops to conquer the Solon tribes (Evenki, Oroqen, Daur, and Buryats) scattered from the mouth of the Jieya River to the mouth of the Ergun River. Speaking of the tribes of the Sauron tribe, they are actually a branch of the East China Sea Jurchen (i.e., savage Jurchen) in a broad sense. These people, together with the Haixi Jurchen and the Jianzhou Jurchen, are called the Jurchen Three Divisions.

These Saurons, who were still in a clan society, were unusually brave. But how could they, armed with bone arrows, bear-hunting spears, harpoons, clubs, and even stones, be the opponents of the disciplined and well-armed Jianzhou Jurchens? Therefore. Not surprisingly, after the Qing army burned the city of Yaksa, the 6,000 Sauron army led by Bomu Bogol won only one small victory, and was immediately defeated by the Qing army in an ambush.

In September of the following year (1640), Huang Taiji again ordered an expedition to the Sauron Division. The Mongols who had taken refuge in them made a great contribution, and 350 Mongol soldiers led by Sitku and Jishiha took the north by surprise for more than two months and captured Bomu Bogol's younger brother and relatives, and then marched to Cilotai (now Chita, Russia) for 14 days to capture Bomu Bogol and his relatives and 844 head of livestock. So far. The surface of the Sauron Ministry has been pacified.

After these two wars, the thorns in the Jurchen tribes of the East China Sea seem to have been swept away, and the tribes were ostensibly subservient to the Manchu government. However, Mo Ming knew that things were not so simple, the thorn-headed tribes in the East China Sea Jurchens were up and down, and these barbarians didn't buy the account of the Great Khan who was far away in Shengjing. Besides, the taxes collected by the bullshit sweat are so heavy, and the men are still levied to serve in the army, and the officials who come to inspect are nostrils to the sky one by one, and they keep eating and taking cards and insulting women, how can they bear it.

As a result, many tribes once again raised the flag of rebellion. Just this year. Huang Taiji will send Arzin and Haninga to lead the army to attack the Huerha Division. And the time of sending troops is March Gengxu of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, I wipe. Isn't it the Fourth of May? Two days later? Thinking of this, Mo Ming suddenly had a spirit, Nima Huang Taiji sent troops to finish the battle in more than two months this time, destroyed three tuns in the Huerha department, and surrendered four. Wouldn't there be people from the Huerha Department doing business here right now? Although they may not have time to participate in the war if they buy weapons now and rush back immediately, they can always inspire their resistance to fight, after all, they have a weapon in their hands, and their murderous intentions are self-sufficient.

Mo Ming had the heart to ask someone, but he didn't understand the language, and several of his subordinates compared with those natives for a long time, but they found nothing, and they had to give up at the end. However, in order to add to Huang Taiji's blockage, Mo Ming decided to supply weapons to these Shandan people from the mainland at a preferential price. Anyway, these Shengnuzhen were all potential opponents of the Manchu regime, and arming them was giving Huang Taiji eye medicine. And these Jurchens, or the Jurchens of the East China Sea, Mo Ming was a little uncertain, and he was very fond of the sophisticated iron weapons provided by the people of the East Coast.

Iron triangular arrowheads (optionally with barbs), 32-year-style mechanical non-commissioned officers' knives, standard three-meter spears (carburized iron spearheads), monoculars, hemostatic bandages, light archers' leather armor, 41-year-old steel bayonets, and even butter-coated infantry cuirasses all opened the eyes of these Shandan people and they fell in love with them.

Some native archers with thick calluses on their hands caressed sharp arrows, and their expressions were as gentle as if they were looking at lovers; Some of the tall barbarians directly picked up the detachable and assembled cuirass, and looked at it over and over again; Others looked in amazement at the standard-length spears, which were so sharp and interchangeable, that they were amazing!

Bought! The people of Shandan were quick to make a decision. And Mo Ming, with some unknown thoughts, decided to sell a large number of weapons to these Shandan people, and gave them a fairly "preferential" price. For example, a bag of arrowheads (20) can be exchanged for two fox skins; A 32-year-old non-commissioned officer knife can only be exchanged for a valuable mink skin; As for the sturdy infantry cuirasses that could be used as family heirlooms, they needed some valuable items to exchange, such as the horses they brought.

Some of these people are precious furs and livestock. Huangtai Kedah They can grab six or seven thousand furs and thousands of cattle and horses at a time, and this purchasing power is absolutely no problem. What the? What do you mean by this gesture? Oh, you're poorer? Usually fishing for a living, but poor to jingle? Forget it, I'm afraid of you, I'll take away your foul-smelling fish oil and dried fish, send you a few spears, and fight with the Jianzhou Jurchens!

Not... You only have three skins, but all four of you want a knife? This is not good, rules are rules. But we're friends now, so let's give you three knives, and then give this little brother a 41-year-old bayonet, and go into battle to kill Jiannu is absolutely sharp, and his armor-piercing ability is very good!

This brother is so burly, since you like this armor so much, take it. Brother, I just need some horses to pull the cart, and I have taken the two horses behind you, so I want to buy some in the future and continue to come.

What the? You're going to send these two little brothers to us? Please, we are also very short of food here, and we don't support idlers... Uh, you want them to come to us and join the army? Well, I'll agree, and I'll give you a leather armor and a saber. What the? If you're not satisfied, I'll give you another roll of hemostatic bandages, it's nonsense, get out of here after taking something!

Although there is a language barrier, there is no major barrier to communication. After all, it's a barter trade, and if you guess and make a comparison, you can quickly complete a transaction. Moreover, the dozens of musketeers of the 102nd Company of the Army lined up on the dock, as well as a new army of the Eight Banners with a sentry on the side, there was no blind guy who dared to rob under this deterrent. To put it mildly, the people of the East Coast can rob this side by force, but considering that it is not easy to have such a mutual market location, it is better for everyone to do business in a proper manner.

After the weapons business with the Shandan people, the next daily necessities trade was also extremely hot. Old goods such as spirits, cloths, cotton coats, leather boots, iron pots, fishing nets, and metal knives, as well as new products such as tobacco, tin stoves, and honeycomb coal, which were pushed by the people of the East Coast, have achieved good sales. This is all because the people of the East Coast have a plan to carry a large number of consumer goods, which is what these low-level Shandan people love the most. And the large amount of furs, mountain goods, wild ginseng, deer antlers, horses, and even gold they paid in exchange for the goods they wanted made the people of the East Coast smile crookedly.

In the morning, more than 600 precious furs, more than 30 Mongolian horses, dozens of game, mountain goods were filled with more than a dozen sacks, in addition to more than 20 precious wild ginseng and a large number of deer antler velvets. In addition to these, they recruited more than fifty young natives from the local population who had been sent to join the army because of the chief's greed for money, or some were simply resold into slavery to the East Coasters.

Mo Ming, who saw this kind of hot business scene for the first time, was even a little stunned, this business is too easy to do! Although many of these goods are difficult to value, there is no doubt that they are priceless. In particular, those precious furs unique to the northern hemisphere, such as mink skin and bear skin, as well as high-grade Chinese medicinal materials such as deer antler velvet and wild ginseng, will definitely sell at sky-high prices in the local area! Even in Daming, it can be sold for a pretty good price!

Even those Mongolian horses can bring great use value to the people of the East Coast at this moment. Soon everyone will go out to plunder along the coasts of Korea, Qing and Daming, and it will be a trouble if there are not enough transports for the booty. This time, the transport ship from the mainland was loaded with a lot of parts for the four-wheeled carriage, and thanks to the high processing accuracy, these parts can basically be assembled locally. But with a carriage, you can't do without a cart pulling a horse, no, the current mutual market trade has opened up the situation for everyone. More than 30 horses were in hand, and a lot of carriages could be assembled. Of course, if he fails to trade horses this time, Mo Ming also has a backhand, that is, the pony who went to Jeju Island to grab a stick!

The profit of the business in the morning is conservatively estimated to be more than 45,000 yuan, which is really a rather staggering figure. However, Mo Ming didn't plan to stay here too long, there were more important things waiting for him to do. Thus, the short inter-market trade ended in the afternoon, and the people of the east coast packed up their belongings and boarded the ships, and then headed south overnight. (To be continued......)
