The biggest headache for Guigudar was, of course, the big boat parked by the river.

The ship was so big and tall that it looked like a city wall, and it seemed difficult to get on board.

If there are too many people lost, even if they grab food and salt, it will be more than worth the loss for the almost exhausted Guigudar tribe.

"Sony." Guigudar whispered, "You said at the beginning, how many of them are there? ”

"When the minions were caught, the minions were counted, and there were 31 people in total." The man named Sonny replied: "The minions have also tricked them, they don't stay much on the ship, even if they stay half, the total is only 60 at most, let's go up with 300 people, we can do it!" ”

The name Sony has the meaning of smart in Yi language, and this guy is indeed very smart.

In fact, he deliberately let Zhang Shun catch him two days ago, in order to find out how many outsiders came from the sea this time, and how many good things he brought.

He felt that if he behaved deferentially and offered to trade mink and ginseng, the outsiders would release him.

As it turned out, Sonny had achieved all of his goals, and had led Gui Goodar and his three hundred Ding Zhuang to their destination.

However, this master of his, after seeing the big ship, did not dare to attack.

"How are you going to get on that ship?" Guigudar continued: "We don't have a ladder! ”

"With a lasso! Let's go up together, and we'll be on board soon! ”

"How many people have to die?"

"If there is an archer to suppress it...... one for another, right?" Speaking of this question, Sony is also a little hesitant.

Sixty people died, this is not a loss that the current clan can easily bear.

"One for the other, what a loss!"

The clan leader thought about it, and finally made up his mind:

"Sony, you take people out and trade mink and ginseng with them! Don't bargain too much, it's okay to let them make a little money, but be sure to trade on the shore, let's kill all the people on the shore first, and then rush off the boat! ”

"Huh!" Sonny immediately agreed: "The master is wise! ”

"Of course! Otherwise, why is Lao Tzu the master, and you are just a minion? ”

……

Zhu Gui pointed to the shore, carrying the fur and carrying the basket of raw tartars, and said to Zhang Shun:

"Here they are."

Zhang Shun and his crew immediately climbed on the side of the ship and looked down.

"How many? How many people? Some of the crew members couldn't wait to ask.

Everyone knows that there will be a battle this time, so it is natural to see how many enemies there are before the battle.

The better-eyed people in the crew carefully counted for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion:

"No more than a hundred strong men!"

"There are a lot of people, if you count half of the ambush people, they have at least two hundred people this time." Zhu Wu analyzed.

"Maybe more, but it doesn't matter, they brought ginseng mink skins to trade, but they didn't have the confidence to directly knock us down, maybe they still counted on luring us down and beating us on the ground?"

Zhang Shun smiled:

"But so what? A group of raw tartars clustered with stones and arrows, just looking for death. ”

"I'll act according to the plan later, I'll take someone to trade with them, prepare the whaling cannon, if they rush out, just give them a round of arrows to taste!"

The whaling fork is an arrow-shaped cannonball when the rope is removed, and the military department does not like this kind of thing because it is not very lethal.

But the visual effect of the whaling fork on the human body is very terrifying, and the effect of this thing on demoralizing enemies is very obvious.

"No problem, leave it to me." Zhu Wu replied confidently.

……

Zhang Shun personally led a team of twenty people to disembark and trade with Sony.

Looking at the people he had brought, Sonny felt a palpitation for no reason, because the last time he saw thirty people, this time there were only twenty people, and now at least ten people stayed on the ship and didn't get down.

Then there is a high probability that this group of outsiders is wary of themselves.

"Outsider, I'm Sonny from the Guigudar Division, and we've met."

Sonny said in Yi language:

"As agreed, I brought mink and ginseng in exchange for your salt."

The Han people used to call all the fishing and hunting peoples in eastern Liaodong Jurchen, and those who took refuge in the Jin State and were half-farming, half-herding and half-fishing and hunting on the plains were mature Jurchens.

Those who are still hunting and fishing in the old forest are born Jurchens.

In the eyes of the Han people, there is really little difference between a mature woman and a real girl.

But in the eyes of these "Jurchens" themselves, the differences between the tribes are still obvious.

In fact, the so-called Shengjurchen alone, there are dozens of clans of more than a dozen nationalities, and the relationship between them is so complex that even the mature Jurchen is a little indistinguishable.

For example, the Nivkh, Kuyi, Tahuer, Tungus, Ortun, and other ethnic groups collectively known as Sauron (in order to avoid suspicion, these ethnic groups try to use ancient names, and if you are interested, you can search for yourself to see who they refer to).

Their customs and production levels are uneven, some are already semi-agrarian people, and some are still hunting in the mountains and forests for a living.

Bomu Boguo once united most of the Jurchens into a loose tribal alliance, but after Bomu Boguo's death, this alliance disintegrated.

The peoples outside the mountains and forests, including the Han Chinese, the Zhen Jurchens, and the Goryeo people, all refer to them collectively as the Shengjurchen or Sauron, while they, in turn, refer to the Han people, the Shengjurchen and other ethnic groups as "outsiders".

Just as outsiders look down on Sauron, the Born Jurchen is also full of hatred for outsiders.

However, a trade is a deal, and the ginseng and mink that Sauron brought with him, and Zhang Shun's whale meat and salt are all goods that both sides crave.

Therefore, the transaction went very smoothly, and if it weren't for the fact that there must be more good things on board, Sony felt that this time it would be better to finish the trade peacefully.

"That makes the deal happen." Zhang Shun said with a smile: "I still have a lot of whale meat and salt on my ship, you can notify people from other tribes nearby to trade, I am not in a hurry to leave these days." ”

"You might as well leave those things to us." Sonny smiled and said, "We are friends, according to our rules, if friends exchange with each other, they should exchange everything for each other, how can you still save so many things?" ”

"Huh? Do you have such rules? Zhang Shun asked pretending to be surprised.

"Yes, there is."

As Sony's words fell, the raw Jurchen behind him howled together, and the alert Qi people and the raw Jurchen each took out their weapons to confront each other, and more raw Jurchen began to pour out from the forest not far away.

"Friend, don't embarrass me, I won't kill you, just your things." Seeing his own people come out, Sonny smiled even more: "Of course, we have to ask you and your people to help us do some work, it won't take too long, you can do it for a lifetime." ”

"Thank you for the reminder."

Sony didn't expect that Zhang Shun smiled equally sincerely:

"I also realized that I wanted less - I should have brought you all back to be sold as slaves, and I almost lost so much wealth, I really shouldn't."
