Chapter 224: Another City
Yang Wenli summoned Yang Yiteng, the commander of the water division, in front of him, and after Yang Yiteng shouted three times, Yang Wenli gave him a very serious order: "Yiteng, I want you to send a fleet back to Qizhou, just the size of ten ships, this time you don't need to go back in person, just send a subordinate who is familiar with Happy Valley Ridge to be responsible."
This time, we mainly went back to transport several minerals that we urgently needed, mainly feldspar, as well as quartz sand, and iron ore also had to be transported a little.
Secondly, if there is anyone in the Happy Valley family who has a particularly good physical fitness, you can also bring it to Ezo Island, but you must be cautious, you can't just bring it to anyone, the road is too far, and people with average physical fitness can't get here at all.
But when you return home, you must fill the load of victims, select the victims with good physical fitness, and we will earn as many as you can get here.
This time, I will transfer a mortar squad from the Guards, twenty mortars, to escort the fleet and ensure the safety of the fleet.
Well...... It's nothing, you can do it quickly! ”
After Yang Wenli finished speaking, he turned his head and ordered Yang Liren who was standing beside him: "Liren, give Yi Teng 10,000 taels of silver as expenses along the way, and when you return, buy food with all the money." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Liren bowed and promised.
Some things must be done as soon as possible, because it takes too much time, like this time back to Qizhou, at least more than a month to go back and forth, maybe two months are not surprising, the sooner the better, the new house should be installed with glass windows when the snow is falling at the latest.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch, and after Yang Rentian led the Black Armor Army out of Sapporo, he headed north along the west coast.
According to Jiro Tanaka, there is also a large tribe of the Ainu people on the west coast, and there is also a large plain called the Yongfu Plain, and there is also a large river called the Tenshio River.
In fact, Japan began to colonize Ezo Island as early as the 12th century, and it reached its peak in the 14th century, when Japan's Northern Ao daimyo Ando clan had set up ten box halls on Ezo Island to manage the entire territory of Ezo Island.
However, in several historical events, the Ainu fought four major wars of resistance, expelling all Japanese forces from other regions, and only the ancestor of the Matsumae clan, Oysaki Yoshishige, was able to gain a foothold.
After that, the Matsumae Domain changed its strategy to colonize mainly by commerce, adopting a policy of isolation, prohibiting marriage and association between the Japanese and the Ainu, and no longer directly ruling the Ainu area around Fukuyama Castle.
This is mainly due to the fact that the Ainu are indeed fierce, and the Matsumae clan alone has completely failed to suppress the Ainu.
With that, everyone knows that apart from the southern Ainu tribe that borders Fukuyama Castle and the occasional war with the Matsumae family, the Ainu people who bravely swept the plains have not experienced war for more than a hundred years.
It was autumn, and the Ainu were busy catching salmon and sea otters in preparation for this year's salmon festival, with little protection from the outside world, which was the disadvantage of a long peace, and they no longer knew that there was an invasion of foreign enemies.
......Suddenly, on the open plains, the trumpet of war was blown, and the trumpet was loud and loud, and all the Ainu who were fishing and hunting by the sea and the river heard the alarm, and they hurriedly dropped their catches, took up their weapons, and began to assemble at the sound of the trumpet.
It's a pity, how can two legs not outrun four legs? Almost in the next second, the earth shook, the hoofs rumbled, and dust rose all over the sky, and in a few moments the Ainu saw a large number of elite cavalry, black and oppressive, as if endless, coming towards them.
The Ainu people here were even more miserable, because they were caught off guard, they were still very scattered, and the largest group was only a few dozen people, and they were easily divided and surrounded by the rapidly rushing black armor army.
The Ainu warriors, of course, resisted, and they shot their arrows of vengeance as a sign of their resolute resistance to these sudden invaders.
The Ainu bow and arrow, not a compound bow or a recurve bow, are just made of a kind of purple wood unique to the local area, and it is still a very primitive straight bow, which is slightly less powerful, and it is a bone arrow, and it is futile to step on the heavily armed black armor army.
The soldiers of the Black Armor Army have already discussed the tactics of war. They quickly turned over and dismounted, with shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, and rushed forward without saying a word.
"Ahh ……
The Ainu warriors were not a bad breed, they bluffed up their wooden bone spears and went head-on, as if they were about to meet good materials, just in time for their opponents, and there would be a dragon fight, and then in fact they made the Ainu women and children very discouraged.
There was no earth-shattering battle at all, one by one, the tall and sturdy black-armored soldiers, with a slight flick of the shield in their hands, they bullied themselves and went straight forward, relying on their height advantage, they smashed their heads with steel shields, and those Ainu warriors had no armor on their heads, nor were they beaten with iron, and they fell to the ground and passed out when they were smashed.
"Tie them up, put them on horseback, and get those civilians together, hurry up, we have to hurry up and get a few more votes." An officer with the rank of lieutenant gave a loud order.
"Yes," his soldiers agreed in unison, and immediately went into action.
The two soldiers worked together, dividing the unconscious Ainu warrior on the ground with their hands and feet tightly, and then the two of them used their strength together to easily grab a stout Ainu warrior and throw it on horseback, like a man weighing 100 pounds, like a scarecrow, as light as a feather.
The women, the old and the children, who fell in the encirclement, were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, unable to escape, and were driven by the soldiers to the location of the rear logistics department as if they were wielding leather whips and herding cattle.
The sound of whips, scolding, cries, and screams resounded through the wilderness, and the shores of the Tianyan River, which had just been calm and leisurely, suddenly stepped into the hellish realm of Abi.
The Black Armor Army surrounded the Ainu with absolute superiority, and the Ainu were caught off guard, and there was almost no possibility of escape, all of which was seen by the tribal leader Akanamo.
This group of powerful cavalry troops that came suddenly was not a man, they were all tall and strong, powerful, and skillful, and the warriors of the tribe were no match for them at all, and resistance would only fight for casualties, so he cried out: "Stop, stop, I want to see your leader, why do you want to invade us for no reason?" ”
Akanamo's words were not understood by others, but he was commanding the people to resist, and Yang Renyue, who was nearby, wanted to command his subordinates to encircle and suppress them.
At this time, Tanaka Jiro stepped forward and laughed: "Patriarch Akanamo, don't do any more useless struggles, how can my black armor army be resisted by your small tribe, hurry up and order your warriors to surrender, I ......"
"It turned out that you were a shameless businessman who brought people to invade our clan, Tanaka, I have no enmity with you in the past, I have no grievances in the near future, and I still treat you well, why do you want to bring outsiders to invade us?"
"Patriarch Arcanamo, you have wronged my Tanaka, now that Ezo Island is the territory of the Far Eastern Kingdom, and my Tanaka is also a child of the Far Eastern Kingdom, how can you help outsiders?
To tell you the truth, if you take the initiative to surrender, you can still spare your life, if not, today is the time for your death. ”
"You...... Vile! ”
Arcanamo was half angry by Tanaka's words, and he wanted to point at Tanaka and scold, but when he thought that he was inferior to others, he had to put down his hand with hatred and said with a sad face: "Okay! We surrender! ”
"Hahahaha! The patriarch of Arcanamo, who knows the times as Junjie, might as well tell you that Xiangku Xiangcheng has been killed by our army because of his rebellion against Tianwei.
Hurry up and order your men to stop resisting, and I'll help you intercede with the General. ”
