Chapter 175: Beihua Spring Arrives

Spring has arrived on Beihua Island, the mountains are full of green, dotted with wildflowers, and the southwest wind blowing carries a moist breath, and the biting cold wind that often howls for days in winter is gone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Fang Shun's family and nearly 3,000 other Liao people began to enter the northern plains under the alert of a thousand broken captives, saying that the plains were just small plains and low hills, but the hills near Fang Mao Harbor were considered plains.

It is very different from the hilly land, with grasslands and woodlands, but they are extremely lush and difficult to clean.

Fang Yuanshan drove a horse to drag away a thick poplar tree, Fang Shun wiped the sweat on his face, look at this poplar forest, there are really a lot, and the wood for heating is not worried.

Fang Shun put down his mind and picked up the axe and walked to the next poplar tree, cut down the poplar tree, he couldn't finish it, he had to dig out the roots of the tree, and finally use the horse to plough the land, so as to complete the preliminary land reclamation.

Fortunately, there is this Jeju horse, although it is shorter, but after all, it is a large livestock, not comparable to manpower, this pulls wood, grain, deep ploughing the land, farming, without this horse, these thousands of manpower is really not enough.

At noon, the fish soup and corn flour cakes were enough, Fang Shun and other more than 100 people gathered together to eat and drink, the work was heavy, everyone was hungry, everyone gobbled up, and several large pots of food were swept away in less than a cup of tea.

"Fangtou, our 100 team seems to be really hungry, I deliberately made more cakes, which is almost not enough to eat." Old Yu Tou sat on the side and said with a smile. He is still an old habit, and he still calls Fang Shun the old name when he called Jinghaidun.

"Old Yu Tou, I can't bear this work without much food." Fang Shun swallowed the last bite of food and drank a sip of water.

"It's true, that is, Fang Tou takes care of me, and I see that I am old. Let me cook, or it's really unbearable. Old Yu said with a smile.

"Bitterness is bitterness, but there is money to hold, full of food, where to find this kind of errand." Fang Shun wiped his mouth and finished his work.

"Square head. Is this the boundary of our land? Old Yu Tou asked.

"It's hard to say, the adults didn't speak, but it's not in a hurry, sooner or later." Fang Shun said calmly.

"That's right, Lord Zhao did what he said, brought us here from Tieshan, took the silver, and ate a full meal," Lao Yutou said as he cleaned up the pots and bowls. "I'm just afraid that I'll miss the farming time."

"Don't worry, know the sweet potatoes you always eat, this sweet potato can be harvested in just over three months and four months at the latest, as it has been said, the first two months of planting sweet potatoes on the ground, this year is the harvest." Fang Shun said.

Lu Dengzhou turned out to be Li Lu's deputy, and when the new three thousand presidents were reorganized, he was transferred out and promoted to the thousand generals. In the autumn of the whole year, he and Huang Maolin led two thousand generals to Fangmao Port, and later Xiao Lianshan led another thousand generals to converge. In the words of the three of them, they are the agricultural reclamation army, guarding the Liao people to open up.

In the winter, the trees on both sides of the road in the hilly area are cleared and the road widened, leaving a thousand people to build the road in the spring, and the rest of the thousands are out of the hills. Walking into the northern plains, it is easy to say that in winter, the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and no one can move, but in the spring, they enter the plains. Shangfeng Gu Wuyue has already issued an order to be on alert.

Luden Prefecture sent a scout team of 100 people, and the result of the investigation was that five nearby tribes left and evacuated north and east, and only one tribe did not leave and stayed.

Gu Wuyue sent people to contact them, and the agreement reached was to trade with them, and at the same time give them 50 acres of cultivated land to be retained for each household, but they also had to send people to reclaim it.

Their leader agreed, because they were the weakest of the six nearby tribes, and since they were oppressed everywhere, they might as well not leave.

In the past few days, Ludeng Prefecture has divided the Qianzong into five parts, accompanied by the escort of the five pioneering Liaomin brigades, and in the past few days, there have been Anui people approaching and snooping, and all of them have been driven away by the broken army, and the two sides have been quite restrained, and no conflict has broken out.

The conflict is a matter of time or time, in the words of Lord Gu, the Anui people think that the woodland and hunting grounds here are theirs, and the Ming people come to occupy them, which is to rob them of their jobs, and the sooner or later they fight, the more they drag on, the more intense it will be.

Lu Dengzhou picked up the telescope and carefully watched the movement in the north, but found nothing, he knew that it was not easy to find spies in densely wooded places, but he was still not at ease.

Looking back, looking at the busy scene on the boundary of the land behind him, the green in his eyes more than half a month ago disappeared, and the deep black land was exposed in many places. For such a land, no matter how much it is worth fighting.

Ships outside Fangmao Port are dense, dozens of Galen ships, and Fukufu ships will fill the bay, and the first fleet of ships from Jeju has arrived.

More than 10,000 Liao people, tools, horses, food, and ordnance were transported, but the protection of more than 2,000 garrisons was still too thin. Most of the Liao people were strong people, and they were given weapons for self-defense.

Gu Wuyue has lost weight in more than half a month, and everything is complicated, there is no way.

However, today, when he was still busy, Wan Ji who entered the room gave him a surprise, Zhao Lie was stable in Jeju, and transferred Wan Ji from Jeju to Beihua to preside over Beihua affairs, and the official position was the Beihua Pioneer Envoy, and Gu Wuyue was his deputy.

"Brother, you're here, I'm too busy and dizzy, and I'll be tired and lie down in another half a month." Gu Wuyue sighed and said, he and Wan Ji have always been good, but they have no scruples when they speak.

"Wuyue, it's good if you don't hold a grudge against me for stealing your authority." Wanji laughed.

"Take it away, take it all, these six months are really not people's lives, I can't wait to take a good rest." Gu Wuyue scolded with a smile.

"Think beautifully, Beihua is a matter of adult foundation, and the stakes are important, you and I don't open up Beihua, don't think about picking on it." Wanji said solemnly.

The two didn't have time to talk much, and they were immediately overwhelmed by busy things, nearly 20,000 Liao people were stationed, the baggage was unloaded, and the horses entered the camp, all of which had to keep them busy, but fortunately, Wu Bo from the Jeju refugee camp came here, and the refugee camp finally had a leader.

After five busy days, it took to settle down, and fifty-six Liao people died on the way, but it was already a relatively small loss.

The next step is to raise the body for ten days and eight days, and then get closer to the north, Wan Ji and Gu Wuyue plan to reclaim most of the plains in the north this year, and they can be cultivated on a large scale in the spring of next year, and they will not be able to stand on a real foothold until next year.

To the north of the plain is a field of hills, and further north of the hills is the strait facing the mainland.

Facing the plains and backing the hills was a large tribe, the Degasian tribe, which straddled the plains and mountains, hunting, fishing, and herding horses, and were the most powerful tribe in the north.

But there is also a larger tribe in the southern plains adjacent to them, the Kutu Naban tribe, and the two tribes have always been at odds with each other over the adjacent woodlands, hunting grounds, and fishing grounds, which can be said to be feuding, but strangely, today the patriarchs of the two tribes, Kahiti and Varanasi, are in a meeting.

"Kasiti, I'm not here to mention the old grievances with you, but now the Akito in Otaru in the south has begun to rob the land of our Anui people in the north, and five or six tribes have come to our tribe in the north and cry to me, I have sent people to inquire about the enemy's situation, and now thousands of people have begun to cut down and cultivate, in addition to nearly a thousand ironclad soldiers to take care of them." Said the tall and thin Varanasi.

"Ha," sneered Cassiti, who had thick hair and sideburns, "you have always been cunning, and today you have used what means to deceive me." ”

"Kasiti, I'm afraid that I'm going to be wiped out this time." Varanasi's eyes widened with anger, and he said in his heart, your tribe is strong, isn't it a fool to fight with you. "I can leave ten hostages, and you send ten people to set off with my spies to see if it's true."

Kasiti looked at Varanasi hesitantly, could it be true, and put forward the conditions for the exchange of hostages, which was a sincere move by the Anui, but he still couldn't believe it.

"Cassiti, you think you are the eagle of the north, and you are so cowardly and cowardly that you have lost the face of my Anui." General Varanasi said.

"Nonsense, I, Kasiti, have always been above board, but you Varanasi have always been scheming, well, this time, if you deceive me again, I will question your people." Cassiti was indeed unprovoked.

After the two sides accepted the conditions, they exchanged hostages and left the border between the two sides to return to their tribes.

In the plains of the Tokachi Plain, which was named after the Wajin, the most powerful tribe with 3,000 tribes, the patriarch of the Tasidirlo tribe in his forties, Rodi Rossi, who was surprised to receive the news that he had set up a trading house in the southern port to sell wrought iron at a price thirty percent lower than before, and at the same time could sell sabers, spears and other weapons to the tribe, and even leather armor and cotton armor.

Roddy Rossi was not surprised, but was shocked, it has been decades since Matsumae and the people of southern Hokkai slowly infiltrated the Tokachi area, and ironware, especially wrought iron and armor, are items that Matsumae and the people strictly control and cannot flow into the territory of the Anui people, and the release of supply at this time can only show that the Matsumae Domain has given up entering the Anui area, or even given up forever.

You must know that the Anui people are very brave, but many of them use bone arrows, knives and guns are still made of inferior iron, and they are fighting separately, so they are defeated and the hands of the people, and gradually began to lose Matsuzen, and now it is the turn of ten victories.

Now that Kazuto's move only shows that Matsumae Kazuto is in turmoil or that a stronger enemy is coming, the Wato of Matsumae Domain has retreated. What the hell is it, Roddy Rossi immediately assigned people to go to Matsumae to buy ironware, and at the same time inquire about the news of the people.

A month later, he received news from both the north and the south at the same time, that the Ming people, a powerful empire in the west that he had vaguely heard, had come and had begun to station and develop in the northern part of the Ezo Land, and that the people in the south had already been defeated once, or they were defeated.

Roddy Rossi was shocked, and the people had defeated the Anui people several times, and now they were defeated at the hands of the Ming people, and many daimyo still sent troops together, and the Matsumae Domain and the people were only a small part of them, so how strong was the Ming people. He felt that the wind and clouds were surging in Ezo, and the sky was about to change. (To be continued.) )
