The supply fleet stayed in Ishikari Prefecture for 10 days, and in addition to the necessary voyages, all the personnel on board went ashore to recuperate, and all the supplies needed for the Hokkaido Governor's Office for half a year were unloaded.

Before leaving, Hu Anjun handed over Li Yu's instructions to the Hokkaido Governor's Office to Yuan Zuo, who was the governor.

Yuan Zuo opened it and looked at it, his heart fluctuated, and he saw that it was written: "The construction of Ishikari County, which is currently under the jurisdiction of the Hokkaido Governor's Office, is almost two years old, and it must have taken more than a year of reclamation to reclaim enough arable land to meet the needs of the military and civilians in the county for a year's food." Officials of the Governor's Office must urge the military and the people to do a good job in this year's spring ploughing, do a good job in agricultural production, and ensure that the grain harvested in the autumn will be used until next autumn. In addition to this supply, NOFI will no longer supply the Hokkaido Governor's Office in the future due to special circumstances. I hope that you will carry forward the spirit of hard work of our Chinese ancestors in the development of Middle-earth, and strive to build Hokkaido into another Guanchu ......"

Looking at the supply fleet that set sail, Yuan Zuo felt quite complicated, and from now on, the military and civilians of the Hokkaido Governor's Office will be completely dependent on themselves.

Fortunately, in addition to half a year's rations, there are also a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock for the local military and civilians.

The Mao people within a radius of more than 100 miles in the Ishikari Plain were all cleaned up, either as slaves or as slaves or forced away by Wang Hu's army, but they were not afraid of the Mao people coming to steal livestock.

Six days later, Wang Hu returned after inspecting Asahikawa Fort and Takigawa Fort, and learned that the supply fleet was leaving for six days, and did not replenish the manpower that Wang Hu urgently needed in addition to supplies.

Wang Hu was so angry that he jumped to his feet, and pointed his nose at Yuan Zuo, so he almost opened his mouth and scolded angrily, and after calming down his mood for a long time, he was full of reproach: "There are more than 3,000 people in the county, which one can't move the knife position and don't open the bow?" Hu Anjun and Lu Yuanqing's two thieves are unwilling to disobey the order to replenish our manpower. You won't take more than 3,000 people in the county to block and rob, so you have to get 1,800 people from the boat. ”

"But the ship is full of vicious bandits, and if you get them, won't they cause trouble for us?"

was despised and criticized by Wang Hu, the later deputy envoy, but he had no way to take this famous fierce general among the generals of Anton, which made Yuan Zuo's heart full of grievances, and he had to defend weakly in front of Wang Hu, who was five big and three coarse.

"Can those bandits have my brother?"

Wang Hu looked disdainful: "Whoever dares not to listen to my orders, I will twist off his head and kick the melon seeds as beads." ”

……

"Majesty sweeps the floor!"

Yuan Zuo left the governor's mansion with a depressed heart and climbed the city wall to relax.

"Since Wang Hu was demoted to Hokkaido by King Yan last year, he has led the army to attack everywhere and accumulated great prestige in the Governor's Mansion. In contrast, the Governor of Hokkaido, who founded the Hokkaido Metropolitan Government, has become insignificant. ”

Yuan Zuo sighed and thought for a long time: "The only way to send Wang Hu out is to let him go outside to ask the Mao people to expand their territory, so as not to let him have time to stay in Ishikari County and press a certain head." When he reported to King Yan, he took most of his credit to himself, magnifying the impact of Wang Hu's gallery and gallery and bad deeds, and affecting his image in His Highness's heart. When several plains in Hokkaido are occupied, kick Wang Hu away with one kick and let His Highness transfer him to other wild places to play prestige. ”

……

After defending Ishikari Prefecture, the fleet sailed north to Wakkanai, the northernmost part of Hokkaido, where they left 500 bandits and ordered them to build Wakkanai Fort, where they appointed one of the former bandits to serve as the castle envoy.

The 500 bandits, who had been imprisoned for nearly four months and were finally freed, were running happily along the shores of this dense primeval forest. Although he is far away from his homeland, it is estimated that he will not be able to go back in this life, and it is not bad to be free in this wild land compared to the dayless captivity.

Most of the bandits used to be farmers who worked at home, and they were forced to go up the mountain to become bandits, and after a few years of swords and guns, they would not forget their old jobs.

It's the month of May, and Hokkaido is at full bloom, hiding its cold winter.

The bandits looked around and saw that the natural environment was good, a river with a good flow of water meandered into the sea from the mountains to the south, and the two sides of the bank were miles of fertile plains, but it was a good place to reclaim.

From time to time, you can encounter a herd of sika deer twice the size of Middle-earth, which is twice the size of Middle-earth, but it is starving to death the bandits who have been imprisoned for months and have rarely seen meat. Nofi and the soldiers looked at them with weapons and looked at them with a tiger's eye, and the bandits had already gone out to catch deer to taste the long-lost taste of meat.

Hu Anjun climbed the small dirt slope in front of the five hundred bandits under the escort of the sergeant, coughed and cleared his throat, and roared majestically: "You can reach this place alive and regain your freedom, this is all because of the benevolence and righteousness of King Yan, and he can't bear to kill more and give you a chance to atone for your sins." That is to dedicate the rest of his life to the opening of the country and defend the border, and to contribute to the proud standing of China in the world......"

"Isn't it exile for thousands of miles? And said so righteously! ”

A few bandits muttered in a low voice, "The farthest away from the imperial court is three thousand miles of exile, and our exile is more than thirty thousand miles, right?" ”

It wasn't until the soldiers in charge heard the sound and looked at the bandits that the few bandits who kept muttering kept closing their mouths wisely.

"His Royal Highness King Yan not only gave you the opportunity to regain your freedom to serve the king for national merit, but also officially reorganized you and others into a united army under the jurisdiction of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, that is, the Zhinai Army. Your duty is to cut down wood and earth here to build a castle to defend it. Cultivated land at suitable locations around the fort, and the food grown was not only self-sufficient, but also supplied to the ships of the Andong Prefecture that passed by......"

"Haha...... Our bandits have become serious court officials. ”

Some of the bandits laughed in low voices.

"Someone will leave you a model of the castle and the corresponding instructions, you just need to follow the model and build the guide. Remember to build the castle strongly, and it is you who will be harmed if you don't build it. There are fierce and bloodthirsty hairy people like wild beasts living here, and they don't want to be caught by the hairy people and roasted and eaten into stool and pulled out. When a certain fleet returns to the sea, the fortity and defense of the castle you have built will be checked, and if it is not qualified, the supply will be halved before you achieve food self-sufficiency......"

Hu Anjun threatened and frightened a group of unruly bandits.

After the lecture, Hu Anjun and the others returned to the ship, and the sergeants on guard began to distribute weapons and armor to the bandits. They are all black leather armor and horizontal knives and crossbows of Anton's military standards, and as for the iron armor, there are no regular unity soldiers in Anton except for officers, not to mention the unity soldiers of this group of bandits organized to deal with the indigenous Mao people on the island.

The hairy people on the island of Hokkaido don't even have iron tools, the arrowheads are made of sharpened bones, and the leather armor is completely sufficient for their defense.
