The war on the Korean Peninsula is coming to an end, and Hokkaido, in the northeast of the Lelang Sea, is staging a battle of civilization and barbarism in the ice and snow.

The outcome was not unexpected, the savage side was defeated and fled, chased and killed by the victors like rabbits, and the lucky ones were strung together by the victors with ropes and escorted to the west as trophies.

As a barbarian, he was defeated in this battle, and even his wife was lost. It's not that they're not brave enough, it's that the enemy is too strong, a strong enemy they've never encountered in the 10,000 years since they settled in Hokkaido in prehistoric times. Even if they were able to work in the harsh environment of Hokkaido, where the snow could fall to waist length in winter, they could not defeat the outsiders with their hair tied and steel knives in their hands.

It's not that they don't have enough people, to tell the truth, in order to regain their land and hunting grounds, they have been preparing for today's battle for half a year, contacting the surrounding 38 tribes and gathering 5,000 tribal warriors, but they still can't avoid a one-sided massacre.

Wang Hu stood on the battlefield strewn with corpses, as far as the eye could see, but there were few children under his command on the battlefield where more than 2,000 corpses were poured. Brushed a handful of blood from his face that had frozen into ice crystals, and smiled unscrupulously with his mouth showing his white teeth.

At the beginning of the year, Wang Hu, who was beaten by the Black Water Warriors and lost his troops, so that he couldn't get along among the generals of Anton, regained his self-confidence on the battlefield today.

Although the barbarians who led more than 1,000 children to behead more than 2,000 in this battle were only some hairy men who were no more than four feet five tall, with light dark complexions and hairy bodies, they looked like bigger monkeys from a distance.

But who knows about these Anton? Defeating 5,000 enemy troops and beheading more than 2,000 is not a small achievement in the entire Tang military circle. Waiting for the news to be delivered to His Royal Highness King Yan, Wang Hu thought about using this military exploit to improve his bad impression in His Highness's mind.

Wang Hu, who departed from the town of Tori in April and arrived in Ishikari Prefecture in Hokkaido in June, has been serving as the deputy director of Hokkaido, and since taking office, he has made up his mind to make a career in Hokkaido out of the shame of being defeated and degraded in the previous Kurosui War.

After consulting with Yuan Zuoyi, the Hokkaido pioneer who also wanted to make a big plan, it was decided to expand the territory of Ishikari Prefecture by force, and strive to bring the entire island of Hokkaido into the land of Wanghua as soon as possible.

There were 400 sergeants and 3,853 prisoners in Ishikari Prefecture, nine of whom were young and strong, and most of them were lawbreakers and corrupt officials, and they were not good people in themselves.

When Wang Hu was in the future, Yuan Zuo was born as a businessman, although he worked hard at sea for more than ten years, he was not a tearing man on the battlefield, and he did not have the tiger and wolf spirit of a prisoner in the town. He has not dared to use those prisoners with confidence, lest he get out of control, so that the development progress of Ishikari Prefecture is extremely slow.

Wang Hu, who was murderous and not angry and self-assured, arrived, and after a lot of tiger power, he came down to put the uniforms of the group of prisoners in the town, and no one dared to blow up the stab.

Wang Hu organized these prisoners into a united army according to the organizational model of the army for training, which was used to recruit and suppress the local Mao people and expand the territory.

In just five months, Wang Hu led the army out of Ishikari County, and attacked the Maoren tribe in the surrounding mountains and forests, destroying more than 50 villages and villages, and capturing more than 3,000 slaves. Those Maoren villages that were not captured as slaves were forced to pay tribute to Ishikari Prefecture every month, mainly in the form of precious furs and medicinal materials such as reishi and mountain ginseng, and provided young and strong people to serve in labor.

The capture and enslavement of the Mao people made the Mao people within a radius of 100 miles unbearable to be oppressed by Wang Hu, and they contacted each other to fight against the Chinese, so that today's war was born.

Although it aroused the resistance of the Mao people, it still outweighed the disadvantages for Ishikari County, which was short of manpower in the deep wilderness.

With these captured slaves and conscripted Mao people, 120,000 acres of land were reclaimed with Ishikari Prefecture as the center. Although the spring ploughing was completed at the time of cultivation, there is no doubt that a bumper harvest will be obtained after planting next year.

Many of the fir and pine trees are hundreds or even thousands of years old, and the trunks are straight and thick, more than ten zhang high.

As a Jiaolong HNA born, Yuan Zuohui, who is now serving as the Hokkaido Pioneer Envoy and the Ishikari Prefecture Commander, has a good eye. In his eyes, these timbers are all good ship materials, and they should not be wasted. The felled trees were collected and dried in the shade, and 10,000 roots were stored. Yuan Zuo planned to ask His Highness to send some shipwrights to establish a shipyard in Ishikari County next year.

Hokkaido, as large as it is, has a terrible topography, with plains divided into isolated geographical modules by steep mountain ranges. If there is no ship to go from the sea, then the rest of the island will need to cross the mountains and mountains, not to mention the danger of the existence of the Mao people on the island, and it is not conducive to the communication between the two places.

Today's battle was the largest battle between the Chinese and the Mao since they established themselves in Hokkaido. It was the union of the Ishikari Plain, which could not bear the enslavement of the Chinese, and the Maoren tribe in the Shangchuan Valley, but Wang Hu, who learned the news, led an army of more than 1,000 troops to march more than 200 miles for more than 3 days, and annihilated it at the Asahikawa River beach in the Shangchuan Valley in the later world.

The victory in this battle marked that Wang Hu completely took the Shangchuan Valley, and the Maoren tribes in the Ishikari Plain and the Shangchuan Valley were greatly damaged, and they no longer had the strength to resist.

The battlefield has not yet been cleared, and Wang Hu is happy after the war to find that this place is a rare place with abundant water and grass. Although surrounded by mountains, the valley in the middle is flat and open, and the area is not to be underestimated. Although the river is frozen and covered with thick snow, the flat and criss-crossed river course is still visible, and the large and small rivers that come from all over the valley to the west converge at the mouth of the valley, forming the Ishikari River that runs through the Ishikari Plain.

Cutting away the snow, Wang Hu grabbed a handful of soil and pinched it, the fluffy soil was pinched in his hand as if he was about to pinch out the oil, and a knife was inserted into the soil, directly into the handle of the knife, and the depth of the soil layer made Wang Hu's eyes shine.

The fertility of the soil is judged by its fluffiness, moisture content, depth of soil layer and whether the vegetation growing on the ground is flourishing.

At four o'clock, the Shangchuan Valley undoubtedly met the standard, Wang Hu was overjoyed, and couldn't help sighing: "If there is such fertile soil in our hometown, we will not be so poor that we will be so poor that we will work hard as soldiers." ”

It's really strange to say, in the Tang Dynasty, those bureaucrats and gentry's views on overseas lands are nothing more than a wilderness full of poisonous insects, ants and beasts that cannot be cultivated, and the environment is harsh, in short, it is far worse than the Central Plains.

But in the past few months in Hokkaido, Wang Hu found that except for the winter being colder than the Central Plains, the other conditions are not worse than the Central Plains, and can even be said to be more superior than the Central Plains. For example, the soil of Ishikari Prefecture is really many times more fertile than that of Guanzhong. This year, the yield of wheat per mu is more than 500 catties, which is 40% more than the fertile land in Guanzhong. In addition to the abundance of wild animals, the so-called poisonous insects are more difficult to track......

Wang Hu didn't know that Hokkaido is located in the north temperate climate, with four distinct seasons, and this murderous aura in winter makes it difficult for poisons to survive, which is suitable for human survival and reproduction.

In addition, Hokkaido is located in the Pacific Rim Volcanic Belt, and the island has many volcanoes, most of which are extinct volcanoes, but the ancient volcanic eruptions bring fertile volcanic ash, and the closer you get to the former volcanic soil, the more fertile it becomes.

As soon as he went to Nanyang, he probably believed the views of the gentry on overseas lands.
