Chapter 578: The Return

Ezo Sapporo. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Today, this land is no longer the desolate place when Oda Yoshinobu first arrived here. In the past three years, Oda Yoshinobu has continued to invest and conquer more Ainu tribes, which has already changed the place. Although it is not as prosperous as Kiyoshu and other towns, it is more than enough, and Sapporo is now a medium-sized town even if it is placed on the island of Honshu.

Among them, there is the credit of Ina Tadaji and the credit of Asano Nagamasa, but more of it depends on Tia! As a descendant of the extinct Inca Empire, Tia was the greatest contributor to the Ainu's complete submission to Oda Yoshinobu. Without her, although Oda Yoshinobu issued many orders, I am afraid that some problems will inevitably arise when it is actually implemented.

Perhaps eventually, the Ainu will actually become the lords of Oda Yoshinobu, but at least, they won't integrate so quickly. After all, there will never be true equality between the conqueror and the vanquished because of an order from the superior.

Tia is different, as a foreigner, she is easily accepted by the Ainu in many places, especially Tia is still so beautiful and gentle.

Of course, Oda Yoshinobu's slavery system was one of the reasons why the territory was able to develop so quickly. Although apart from such a title, and the labor operations that had to be carried out on a daily basis, there was not much difference in the life of the Ainu before the conquest. But there is no way that there are people who really don't care about this kind of title, and it can even be said that because their lives are no different from the Japanese living in Ezo, they will care more about this title.

So in order to be able to remove this title, they worked harder. And after Oda Yoshinobu's family planning order came down, the women worked hard to have children. Later, when the Ainu saw those who had been stripped of their slave titles and officially became the people of the Oda Yoshinobu domain, they would also silently begin to work hard.

Speaking of which, Oda Yoshinobu didn't think too much about such a slavery system at the beginning, but it was just because he lived in an era of world harmony in his previous life, so he didn't have the idea of looking down on the Ainu in his heart. So on the basis of slavery, they were given the opportunity to change their status.

Well? In that case, why not make them Oda Yoshinobu's lords in the first place? Well, the reason is also very simple, because there is no reason to find it...... And if a conquered people had made them a subject in the first place, would they have cherished that identity?

On the streets, Tia is constantly wandering around the castle, which is something she must do every day, because in her heart, this land carries so much hope for her, so she hopes that every change in the territory, she will not miss it.

Speaking of which, the Incas who are now following Tia have already fully integrated into the area, and they have established their own families with the Ainu or the Japanese, and have already given birth to a new life. Tia didn't object to this, she didn't care about the purity of the bloodline, all she cared about was that people could live happily and happily, and that was completely enough. What ethnicity, race, does it matter? Unimportant!

Belch...... After all, she's a mixed Spanish and Inca herself, isn't she?

Suddenly, she saw Marimome Nagae walking briskly towards here, and in an instant, her eyes sharpened. In Sapporo, Marume Nagae and Kamiizumi Hidemoto were samurai who specialized in military affairs, and it was certainly not about the construction of the territory that allowed him to come in such a hurry.

"Tia-sama! A huge ship has appeared on the surface of the sea, of unknown origin! Marume Nagae said respectfully.

"Mobilize all troops at once! I'm going to the port! Without the slightest hesitation, Tia gave the order at once, and walked briskly towards the port.

Not long after, Tia came to the port, at this time Kamiizumi Hidemoto had already set up a formation at the port, and when he saw Tia, he hurriedly saluted, "Lord Tia! "After these time together, Tia has won the approval of these Oda Yoshinobu's retainers with her own ability.

"Where?" Tia walked up to Hidemoto Kamiizumi and asked directly.

Hidemoto Kamiizumi pointed in a certain direction, then handed the telescope to Tia.

By the way, no one had invented a telescope in this era, but when Oda Yoshinobu saw glass, he suddenly remembered how he used to make a simple telescope when he was in school. So after explaining the principle to Lilu, a simple telescope finally appeared. Although the effect is naturally not as good as those telescopes in later generations, it is obvious that it is definitely much farther than seeing with the naked eye.

"Huh? It turned out to be a Europa ship. Tia took one look and immediately recognized the style of the ship. Well, it's actually very easy to recognize, because in this era, except for the Europa side, almost all of them are paddle boats.

"Yes, it's just that it's not clearly marked to let us know who this ship is." Hearing this, Kamiizumi Hidemoto said in a deep voice.

"No matter who it is, we can't take it lightly. The lord handed over Sapporo to us and others, but I can't be robbed by others! Tia said in a deep voice.

"That's nature!" Hidemoto Kamiizumi said, his expression starting to become excited. Tsk, looking at his appearance, it seems that he wishes that someone was an enemy? But think about it, all these years of staying in Sapporo, except for the beginning of the crusade with Shimazuo to defeat some dissatisfied Ainu, the rest of the time has been just boring training soldiers.

After a short time, Marume Nagae also led about 1,000 people to rush over. At this time, the population of Sapporo was close to 10,000, and some of them were Ainu people living all over Ezo Island, and all of them were brought to live here after being conquered. The other part was a Japanese sent by Yoshinobu Oda.

Here, too, the Oda family's reserve military service system was carried out. So in fact, Sapporo was able to mobilize more than 4,000 troops. This is also the reason why Tia and the others did not panic.

The ship was getting closer and closer, and in a short time, it was already only a hundred meters outside the harbor. At this time, Tia and the others were shocked to find that the ship was much bigger than they had imagined.

"Everyone, get ready for battle!" Tia said loudly after putting down her binoculars. She saw more noticeable things through her binoculars than the size of the ship, the patched hull and the white cylinders that peeked out from the side of the ship. Although she couldn't see what it was, Tia didn't have to guess to know the name of the thing, the artillery!

Obviously, this could not be a ship from the island of Honshu, let alone a merchant ship. Because neither the former nor the latter can get so many artillery.

"Vic, you sail over and ask, be careful." Tia turned to one of her old subordinates. Speaking of which, Tia is also very helpless, because Sapporo's current positioning is development, and the military force is only a purely commercial Karak sailing ship, in addition to the reserve military service trained by Hidemoto Kamiizumi and Marume Nagae. It can be said that if the ship does not land, Tia will not be able to do anything about it.

Under Tia's watchful eye, Vic drove a fishing boat as fast as he could approach the giant ship. And the giant ship seemed to see Vic's boat as well, and quickly slowed down.

After a while, Vic rowed back quickly in the boat, seeing this, Tia's vigilance in her heart was slightly reduced, since the other party let Vic come back, the possibility of being an enemy was obviously much less.

But when Vic arrived, Tia was surprised to see that his face was full of excitement. Before she could ask, she heard Vic shout excitedly, "It's Lord Liuke!" It's Liuko-sama! Ryuko-sama is back! ”

"What?!" Tia was stunned when she heard this, "He's back?" Tia muttered to herself, her tone full of mixed emotions, and Marume Nagae and Umiizumi Hidemoto on the side also showed a look of disbelief.

Marume Nagae and Hidemoto Kamiizumi were not very familiar with Yanagina, after all, he sailed away shortly after Oda Yoshinobu founded Sapporo. However, they still knew a little about why Liuke left, after all, this matter was not a big gossip at that time.

But in their eyes, Liuko's departure was not a search for a route to the New World. At least compare the heart to the heart, Liuke either landed somewhere and lived a new life, or he had already died somewhere. And in their minds, the latter seems to be more likely.

A man who is sad to leave because of the loss of the woman he loves the most can easily do something stupid.

The giant ship got closer and closer, and finally, slowly approached the port of Sapporo. Tia looked up and saw a man who was both familiar and strange standing on the side of the boat looking at her. Who is it if it's not Liuke? And as he slowly approached, Tia's eyes were instantly filled with tears, and deep down in her heart, she wanted to immediately throw herself into Liuko's arms. It's just that she forcibly held back, because she knew that if she did, Ryukina would die, she would die, and even the Incas who had taken root here might die.

After a while, Liuko finally came to Tia's face, and looked deeply at the woman in front of him with the only remaining eye, and still occupied all the places in his heart. I don't know how long it took, he slowly knelt down on one knee and said in an inexplicable tone, "Lord, my subordinates are back......"

"It's good to be back...... It's good to be back,......" Tia kept repeating the sentence, her tone choked, and tears kept rolling in her eyes.
