The third day was cloudy, breezy, and the sun was lazily showing up and disappearing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Lie finally boarded Fangmao Harbor, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar harbor, a feeling of being separated from the world came to his heart.

Although Otaru, a famous seaport in northern Hokkaido, is not too big, as long as there are buildings, it will block the view, and you will not remember the surrounding area of the city, and Zhao Lie has no idea about Otaru, which is now just a fishing village.

However, the bay of Otaru has not changed, but it is no longer a thing.

Zhao Lie didn't have much to worry about in later generations, but after all, the later generations were a prosperous and peaceful era, which was incomparable with the troubled times of the Ming Dynasty.

Fangmao Port is located in a hilly area, a radius of dozens of miles is hilly, but it is not a high soothing slope, Zhao Lie thought about the topography here, or have to build forts and castles in Fangmao Port, this is the foundation for the development of Ezo land, can not be lost.

"My lord, the Anui patriarch here asks to see you." Yu Dabao stepped forward and said angrily.

"Okay, let them come forward." Zhao Lie stopped outside the dock.

Kanadon and Yamada Guangsheng were brought up by the guards, and Kanadon looked at Zhao Lie and Yu Dabao, who were nearly one meter nine in front of him, and immediately felt a coercion coming.

Yamada sighed even more, the Ming people are really in good shape, no wonder they have called Japan by the Wa Kingdom for thousands of years, well, it also makes sense, I have seen that many of the Ming troops in the past two days are tall people, even if they are shorter in Japan, they are taller. And stronger than the Japanese, seeing the two giants in front of me today, the inferiority complex is really incomprehensible.

Of course, Yamada didn't know that the northerners of the Ming Dynasty were taller than the southerners. What's more, it is not surprising that those who were selected to join the Broken Army were the best among them.

"I am the local patriarch Canadon, and I have seen the lord." Canadon fell to his knees.

Yamada translated his words into Japanese, and Fukudaoka translated Japanese.

"Please, the patriarch is an elder, and you can't be polite." Zhao Lie said after listening to Fukudaoka's translation.

"Your Excellency, you are an elder, please get up." Fukudaoka said shyly. The tone posture is funny.

"Master Xie." Canadon was relieved, he had already let go of his mind of confrontation, and he could never be defeated.

"You're a widow." Zhao Lie looked at Yamada Guangsheng with cold eyes.

Fukudaoka translated. Yamada was thrilled.

Yamada Hirokatsu hurriedly knelt down, bowed and bowed to the ground, "Lord Mingguo, the small one is Yamada Hirokatsu, a merchant of the Matsumae Domain." Doing business here. The little one has seen the Ming Samurai-sama. Yamada Hirokatsu found Zhao Lie's cold gaze, and felt chills all over his body, and a chill appeared on his neck.

"Well, merchant, in your spare time, let's explore the details of the West Ezo Land for the Matsumae Domain." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

Yamada only felt his heart tremble and hurriedly kowtowed.

"Lord Mingguo, the little father is the steward of the Matsumae Domain's ship office, so the villain is doing business here. The lord of the feudal clan also reported something. Yamada couldn't help but admit it, and he felt that if he would rather die, he wouldn't admit it. Immediately, the head will hit the ground.

Canadon looked at Yamada in disgust, the bastard.

"You're honest and knowledgeable." Zhao Lie touched Yamada with his hand, "Fortunately, you also saved your life." ”

Yamada shrank and hurriedly kowtowed in thanks. "Thank you, my lord, the Yamada family is just a small official in Matsumae, from a humble background, and is not valued by the lord of the domain, and the little Yamada Hirokatsu doesn't know if he can be lucky enough to be a master."

"You first learn Chinese for three months, and after passing the Chinese language, you can handle all the affairs of the Japanese people in Fangmao Port." Zhao Lie thought about it for a while and agreed.

He was really not afraid that Yamada would tell Matsumae Clan that the Akito would come, and the news could not be hidden.

When Fukudaoka finished the translation of envy and hatred, Yamada was pleasantly surprised, his own Lao Tzu was just a small official of the Matsumae Domain, not even a samurai, and the Matsumae Domain was not even among the top 30 daimyo in Japan.

What's more, at this time, Japan is no longer the Warring States Period, and the period when the lord of the country is begging for talents has passed, and now the daimyo are under the coercion of the Edo Tokugawa shogunate, and it is the dragon that you have to coil or the tiger you have to lie down, and the daimyo are all obscure, lest the black-bellied Tokugawa family find a sore foot and withdraw from the domain, so ordinary people like the Warring States period became famous and promoted to samurai, which is extremely difficult.

But Yamada Hirokatsu, the second eldest in the family, took the promotion to samurai as his lifelong thought, and didn't want to be the second son of a small official and a small businessman.

"My lord, this is a promise to let me out." Hirokatsu Yamada asked in a trembling voice.

Fukudaoka pursed his lips, and scolded in his heart as he translated, this bastard is crazy with joy.

"Why, you won't." Yu Dabao didn't speak Japanese, and when he saw that Yamada didn't look like he had promised, he shouted with a knife in his hand.

Fukuda translated sharply.

"Ken, of course the villain is willing, and the villain is crazy with joy." Yamada immediately burst into tears, this is also the right master, his obsession has come true, and he is stronger than his father.

Fukuda's envy, jealousy and hatred, he and his brother Fukuda Kaede are just ordinary ashigaru, and he is anxious to see that this Matsumae person who has just met is valued by adults.

"I don't know the name of the adult, my subordinates beg." Yamada hurriedly asked.

Well, it's still a good thing, Zhao Lie said in his heart.

"My family's surname is Cho Mingyeol, and he is the owner of Jeju Island, and he will also be the lord of this place." Li Hu said solemnly.

Yamada hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the snot and tears that flowed out, tidied up his clothes, bunned his hair, and bowed to the ground, "Subordinate Yamada Hirokatsu sees the lord." ”

Zhao Lie officially accepted Yamada's kneeling and bowed, "Yamada-kun, get up, I hope you will learn Chinese as soon as possible, be loyal to my Zhao family, and become a virtuous minister." ”

Yamada burst into tears again, and when he saw how much the lord expected of me, he immediately kowtowed heavily.

After arranging Yamada, Zhao Lie turned to Kanadon, "Patriarch Kanadon, I don't know what to do with me. ”

"I don't know why you came." Canadon didn't know how to speak and didn't understand Zhao Lie's conversation with Yamada.

"Old man. We are Daming people, and we are here to incorporate this place into the Ming territory. Zhao Lie said.

Kannadon said in his heart, but after seeing thousands of armor soldiers. He understood that if all the Anui warriors on the island were gathered, they might be able to fight, but it would be possible for dozens of large and small tribes to unite, not to mention that only a part of the Ming people were currently ashore, and then I don't know how many Ming people there were. Invincible.

"My lord, this place is a place that we have guarded for generations. It should never be given to others lightly. Canadon returned the word.

Zhao Lie smiled slightly when he heard this, and he also felt the same way, but. Sooner or later, this place does not belong to the Anui people, he is not ashamed, and in the end, the Japanese people let the entire Anui tribe cease to exist, what is he guilty about. "Old Patriarch. This place has been targeted by others. You know that one day tomorrow or tomorrow you will be taken over by the people like the south. ”

Saying this, Zhao Lie looked at Canadon fixedly.

When Fukudaoka finished translating, Kanadon also looked at Zhao Lie speechlessly, churning in his heart, to be honest, he understood that sooner or later there would be a day, but he didn't expect that Mingren was also very clear about this.

"Old patriarch, sooner or later, one day. It's better to plan ahead and plan ahead. Zhao Lie didn't wait for Canadon to answer.

"We will wait for the land to be in your hands. Where else do we stand? Canadon replied with a miserable laugh.

"Old patriarch, I will give you two choices, one is to bring your clansmen, clan property, and the army will compensate you with a thousand silver or grain, and I will send a ship to send you to the land in the north, and you will come again, and the other is subordinate to our commander, we will hire your people to cut down trees and build houses, and teach your people to farm, so that your people will live here in peace and no longer live in turmoil." Zhao Lie gave two answers, he didn't want to get too much blood.

If too drastic means provoke the resistance of all the Anu'is, it will become quite tricky to quickly occupy the Ezo land, and it will have to be fought and pulled.

Canadon fell silent, and there were also Anui on the land to the north, but they were not doing well, and they had always been bullied by other tribes, and this road was not to be taken until it was absolutely necessary.

In today's day when he is pressing with people step by step, he has already thought about it, but staying here, it is also doubtful whether this adult will regret his words at this time, and what he did is proof of this, they made a promise in their mouths, saying that they would not encroach on the acres of land and would buy and sell fairly, but as soon as they gained a firm foothold, they immediately turned their faces and were ruthless.

"Patriarch, after our army has reclaimed the acres of land, we can reclaim 20,000 acres of land and hand it over to the clan, as a clan property, the people in the clan will not be scattered, and they can live together." Zhao Lie continued.

"My lord, this is a very important matter, can you allow me for a few days." Canadon hesitated.

"Yes, the patriarch can reply after consulting with the clansmen when he goes back, and the patriarch will be given five days." Zhao Lie said that he couldn't afford to wait too long, and before the real winter in this place came, the Broken Army must establish a foundation to avoid the cold winter.

"In addition, the patriarch we are going to build a house here, and we need a large number of timber and a large number of men, and I intend to hire from your people, each of whom shall provide three meals a day, and a small silver pan a month. In addition, you can also bring the prey you have hit, and our army will buy all of them. ”

"How many people does the general need?" Canadon asked.

"The more the merrier, and a thousand people are not too many." We will send thousands of soldiers and more than 200,000 people here, and we will need to build new cities and villages in the plains. Yamada's translated words left Canadon dumbfounded.

Yamada is tolerant, looking at the strength of Lord Mingguo, hundreds of thousands of people will arrive in a few years, which is much more than the people on the island.

Carnadon returned to the fishing village worriedly, and on the gentle slope in front of the village he looked at the huge fleet that covered the bay, and the soldiers who were busy around the docks, and felt that the experience of which he was proud in the past was simply not worth mentioning, that a new era had come, that he had never been in contact with, that he had no way of understanding, that he felt at a loss and helpless, but that he could not find the help he could rely on, that in a few days he would have to decide the fate of the whole clan, and that the pressure of survival or perdition made him never feel so heavy as the burden of the patriarch.

It wasn't until Kaveh came to pick him up at the entrance of the village that he was relieved.

That night he tossed and turned, thinking all night, and finally came to the conclusion that if he did not move away, he would establish a new settlement on the northern continent, which would lead to conflicts with other original tribes for hunting grounds and fishing grounds, and it would be life or death.

Since it's all the end of the story, it's better to be motionless than still, stay here and see how the Ming people act before making a decision. What's more, there can be money and grain and rice to collect, why not.

The next day he gathered all the leaders.

"Patriarch, I don't accept it, why should I give them the land?" Kaveh stared at the bull's eye, very angry, this is the land that the ancestors have bought for their blood and lives, and to lose this place is to lose their homeland.

Others are also dissatisfied.

"Then can you defeat the army of the Ming people, and can you drive them out into the sea?" Canadon asked with a glare, looking over from person to person.

"You can also move somewhere else." A voice said.

"If you move to other places, you will fight to the death with other tribes for the local fishing grounds and hunting grounds, and then there will be hundreds of thousands of people in a few years, and they will swallow the whole island, where are they going." "The whole island will be taken, and wherever it goes, where the whole tribe will go." ”

In the end, the leaders reluctantly accepted Canadon's proposal to stay and see what the Ming were doing here before deciding on their next move. (To be continued.) )

PS: Some readers say that this is to Sakhalin, no, since the Song Dynasty, Hokkaido has been called Ezo, and this name lasted until the 19th century, during this period, the Japanese people did not enter Hokkaido in a big way, they just established a Matsumae domain in the southwest of Hokkaido, and at the same time, the Matsumae domain began to penetrate into the Tokachi Plain in the southeast. However, the largest plains in central and northern Hokkaido have been surveyed and have not been entered on a large scale, and of course the protagonist is aiming at this largest granary in Japan in the later generations to raise troops and fields, and the Japanese people will definitely not give up, and war is a must.
