As mentioned above, during the period when Yang Wenli was obsessed with scientific research, a lot of things happened, and the second thing was that Yang Rentian led his troops out to conquer the affiliated islands of Ezo Island, although these small islands are not big, but they are inhabited by Ainu people, some have more than 100 people, some have hundreds of people, but there are no tribes of thousands of people.

Because the Ainu people are a fishing and hunting people, they rely entirely on nature to eat, the population density is not the same as the population density of modern society, and when there are more people, everyone has to go hungry, or invade the territory of other tribes, the problem is that they are not strong, so it is impossible to invade others, and nature is very cruel to help them control the population, and they have not been able to grow.

Of course, there is no need for so many people for these small tribes, and one ship is enough to be in charge of one island, and the Black Armor Army has as many as 200 warships, so it is easy to complete the conquest with a single military operation, and all the small tribes on those islands are forcibly relocated to Sapporo.

It only took a few days before and after, and most of the time was still spent on sailing, and the troops were not happy at all, and the officers and men also felt that the combat exploits were too few, because soon everyone would be promoted, and whoever made the most meritorious service would be promoted first or a higher level, which was related to the vital interests of everyone, so they made persistent efforts and went directly to conquer the last goal of the year: Sakhalin Island.

It must be noted that although Sakhalin is larger than Ezo Island, there are not many people on Sakhalin Island, far fewer than the Ainu people on Ezo Island.

There is a reason for this, Sakhalin Island is located in the extreme north more than Ezo Island, so the climate is also colder, not very suitable for human habitation, the temperature difference between the north and south of the island alone is more than ten or twenty degrees, and the environment is far worse than Ezo Island, which is the first reason.

And that's not the main thing, the deadliest thing is that there are as many as four peoples on the island, mind you, peoples, not tribes.

It is very difficult to have a war between different tribes of the same ethnic group, because they all have a common ancestor, and they speak the same thing, and it is easy to collude.

But between different ethnic groups, in the ancient era when the fist was the truth, there were often big fights between various ethnic groups over various issues, and the language was incomprehensible, so the various ethnic groups were basically enemies of life and death.

In ancient times, when medicine was not developed, wars often occurred, so all ethnic groups should not think about developing, but could only fight less and less, and lose both.

This is why there are not many people on Sakhalin, of course, Yang Rentian does not know, he still sent a large army to conquer Sakhalin Island by boat in the posture of a lion fighting a rabbit.

The southern part of Sakhalin Island is mountainous and has rivers crisscrossing it, and according to later records, there are more than 6,000 rivers on Sakhalin Island alone, most of which are in the south.

First of all, we have to introduce the composition of the four ethnic groups on Sakhalin Island, the northern part of Sakhalin Island is mostly plain, suitable for grazing, but also suitable for fishing and hunting, so there are three ethnic groups in the northern plains, namely the Fiag, Oroqen, and Hezhe, among which the Fiyag people are the descendants of the Tunguska and the Mongols, which are very primitive and are still in the matrilineal clan society.

The other two ethnic groups, the Oroqen and the Hezhe, are both savage Jurchens as the Later Jin Dynasty, speaking the same language family, but they are also slightly different, after all, after such a long history, after the integration of many ethnic groups, the two ethnic groups still have significant differences, including language.

Interestingly, the Fiag people were also called the Mao people by the ancient Chinese, and they have the same title as the Ainu.

But the two are not the same people at all, the Ainu are a separate people, unlike any other people in the world, they have white blood, it is strange, but it is real, and it has existed for thousands of years.

Here, I would like to make a bold assumption that the human race is born to exist, not evolved, and this natural existence actually means that our various human races were created by gods or alien advanced civilizations.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the reason why the Ainu actually have the white blood of Eastern Europe and the blood of the Mongols, which are thousands of miles apart, and it is impossible to survive on the islands of the Far East.

The Fiags are Tungusic people, which are actually of white descent, so their body hair is also particularly vigorous, which is why they are also called Mao people, because they are significantly different from the Han Chinese and the yellow people of East Asia.

There is only one ethnic group in the south of Sakhalin, which is also the Ainu, and the Ainu are good at making canoes, which means that they are also good at water, which makes them able to survive in the southern part of the river, while the other three ethnic groups are all indigenous to the mainland, and they are only good at riding horses and archery, which is more characteristic of nomadic people.

The reason for the special introduction is that the introduction of Jiro Aritanaka, the interpreter, made Yang Rentian have a different idea, he wants to win over the Ainu, but he wants to fight against the other three ethnic groups.

Now almost all the Ainu people in the world are under the rule of the Far Eastern Kingdom, and there is only one tribe in Sakhalin.

Moreover, they are also the largest tribe on Sakhalin, and having conquered this tribe, the Ainu, like the people, are the two largest peoples of the Far Eastern Kingdom for the time being, so that the two can be balanced.

Of course, the future Far Eastern Kingdom will definitely have the vast majority of Han Chinese, because no country or nation has as rich and vast resources and a large population as the Han people.

That's why Yang Wenli treats them as citizens as well, and doesn't worry about getting bigger with the Ainu people.

Yang Rentian first conquered the Ainu, not only because they were further south, but also because he brought a very special force with him this time, the Ainu cavalry.

These Ainu cavalry were the warriors of the southern Xiangku Xiangcheng tribe that Yang Rentian first conquered, and after a few months of kindergarten-style teaching, they already knew how to speak a little Chinese, and most importantly, after the education of the civilian officials of the logistics department, they understood that it was a very privilege to become a citizen of the Far Eastern Kingdom, far better than the primitive slave rule system that Xiangku Xiangcheng had implemented before.

Therefore, they are spontaneously willing to serve in the military, and it has to be said that sometimes the role of civilian officials is still very large, and their results are very dazzling.

Since he wanted to subdue the Ainu, Yang Rentian didn't want to cause a big bloody conflict, and he still used the strategy of scaring the snakes.

When more than 100 warships crossed the Soya Strait and arrived on the southern coast of Sakhalin, the Ainu people on the island knew about it.

This was exactly what Yang Rentian wanted, so he was not in a hurry to send a large army to land, but ordered Yang Renri to say: "Ninth brother, give me three rounds of artillery in front of the Ainu formation, let them know that they are blocking the car with a mantis arm, be careful, don't really blow them up, because I want to subdue this last Ainu tribe." ”

"Yes!" Yang Renri beat his chest with a loud upright, and firmly responded to his promise.
