Now that he understood that the other party might be bluffing, Tango Saemon counted the hole cards in his hand. It is a pity that although Guptokan is also a large trading point in Ezo, the trade volume has shrunk significantly due to the soft knives of the Ming and Zheng sides in recent years. As a result of the shrinking trade volume, the two gangs had to reduce their manpower, so at this moment there were only twenty-three people in the hall, of which only half were guards, and the rest were merchants and apprentices. As for the weapons, there were only four iron cannons and two maruki bows, and the rest of the swords and guns were quite a lot, and there was also a surplus of bamboo carcass, but with these forces alone, if the number of warriors among the Ainu exceeded fifty, it would be difficult to determine the outcome of the victory.

After a sigh of embarrassment, Dango had to give up the delusion of attacking. Just when he and Teyo were depressed, the camp of the Ainu suddenly burst into cheers. The two of them followed the sound and looked around, only to see a group of Ainu people coming from the other side of the wall of the pavilion that they could not see, not many of them, about thirty or fifty, but the key was that they dragged a few corpses and held a few peacemen.

"It's the sailor we left behind to guard the sea." The hand spoke in a trembling voice. "They, what do the hairy ghosts want to do to them?"

Waterman? Tango Yoshihiko's eyes rolled and he realized that the ship that was waiting to be loaded with goods was burned, but it may have been because of the sneak attack of the Ainu people, so the sailors either resisted on the spot or fled into the surrounding woodland, and the people who were dragged and escorted by the Ainu people were probably the victims at the time and the survivors who were later searched.

"The Ainu should not kill them." Tango was relieved that the Ainu had not yet entered the slave society, so the captives were usually killed early in the morning, and those who had not died so far would presumably not be further tortured and killed, and as for the possibility of the opening of the Guptok Museum as a hostage, at least Tango Saemon did not think that the Ainu had such war wisdom. "It's just to scare us and tell us that foreign aid is cut off."

Teyo breathed a sigh of relief, he was a businessman, and he was really not used to bloody killing scenes. However, as soon as he let go of his worries about his captured companions, there was a surge of anxiety about his fate: "Lord Tango, do you think we can hold out until the reinforcements arrive?" Will we make it home alive? ”

Reinforcements? Dango smiled bitterly, according to his analysis just now, the surrounding pavilions may be in trouble, and he has to wait for Matsumae Fan to react, and he doesn't know how long it will take, but looking at the expectant eyes of the hand, he can only force it: "It should be possible." ”

The hand who had obtained the treasure staggered down the gatehouse as if drunk, muttering to himself the words "I should be able to live", leaving Tango alone to lean on the gatehouse and observe the movements of the Ainu people

Two more days passed, and for two days the Ainu people simply planted the body of the water man in front of the Guptok and there was no movement.

What are the Ainu waiting for? This question has become the central topic of speculation in the museum. Fortunately, the time has finally come for the mystery to be revealed. No, on the morning of the fifth day after the siege of the Guptano, after a lot of uproar, the truth was revealed.

"It's from Mingguo." Looking at the military appearance of the comer, the hand generation said with a broken heart. "It's over, there are hundreds of them."

"About two hundred." Dango doesn't know where she got her calmness, and she is so calm in the face of a powerful enemy. "Now I understand, it's true, and only the people of the Ming Kingdom have the financial resources to unite the Ainu people."

Before Tango's words were finished, Konyemon who had been shot down and captured by the Ainu people limped back and was driven back by the Ainu people, and when he saw him return, Teyo hurriedly signaled to open the door of the museum and welcomed him in.

However, before Teyo had time to greet Konyemon, who had escaped death, Tango, who had a frosty face, couldn't wait to ask, "Did the people of Ming ask you to come back and persuade us to surrender?" ”

"Yes." Konyemon responded. "The Ming people want us to surrender, and they also say that Mobetsu, Nakano, Wakimoto, Monnaichi, Yahoda, Haraguchi, Hiishi, and Hanazawa have all fallen." These few words made the people listening in a commotion, but Konishi's words were not finished. "The people of the Ming Kingdom also said that if we don't open the museum and surrender, we will all be killed!"

With twenty dozen and two hundred, there are no such examples during the Warring States period in Japan, but Tango does not have much confidence, after all, the Ming people are rumored to be hereditary samurai, not those peasant soldiers can be compared at the beginning, as for the defense of the Gupbe Pavilion, it may be extremely strong for the Ainu people, but it can only be a joke for the Ming people.

Of course, not everyone has the insight of Tango Saemon, so someone roared, "Surrender, never"

Before the words were finished, Konyemon interjected timidly: "The people of the Ming Kingdom have a big tube. ”

"What's the big tube?" One of the guards on the side asked. "Is it a big iron cannon?"

That's right, the big barrel is a long-lost word, in the last years of the Warring States period, there were indeed some Taixi's artillery introduced to Japan, but the number was extremely limited, all of them became the highest force of the Warring States Daimyo Anbang at that time, and with the issuance of the shogunate's lock-up order, most of these early years of the big barrel were decayed, and now Japan has no big barrel at all, and those that claim to be large barrels are just some larger caliber iron cannons.

"It's not a big iron cannon, but," Konyemon didn't know how to describe Zheng Jun's two-inch cannon, so he had to gesture with his hand. "The big tube is the big tube, I saw it with my own eyes, the pipe is so thick." With this comparison, everyone, including Danhou, suddenly gasped, Nima, how many iron cannons can be stuffed into this, this is more than amazing. "The Ming people said that if we don't open the city, they, they will bombard us with a big cylinder."

For the terrifying big tube, Teyo is naturally afraid, but it is not easy for him to climb from the apprentice to the current position of Tedai, and he must not give up the hall because of the other party's intimidation, so that he will not be able to explain to the boss Ichiro when he goes back, and more importantly, even if he can return to Omi safely, a Hand Dai who is greedy for life and afraid of death and discards the owner's property has no future in the Japanese business world, so after listening to Konyemon's words, Teyo was silent.

Danhou is also silent, although he is no longer a samurai, but he also does not dare to show the fear of the enemy like a tiger, otherwise Teyo will inevitably put the responsibility on his head, and in the end, even if there is no danger in the end this time, he can only be a hungry and full bitter ronin again in the future.

The two principals were silent, and the merchants, guards, and apprentices below who didn't know the importance were naturally fearless, and at this moment, a huge explosion came from a distance, followed by the sound of something breaking through the air and whistling in the air.

As soon as everyone in the Guptabe Pavilion looked up, they saw a red-hot projectile falling from the sky in a violent friction with the air, and it only took a single shot to collapse half of the Gatehouse of the Gupta Pavilion. The cannonball that destroyed the gatehouse was not willing to stop, and after hitting the ground, it bounced up again, stumbling into the wide room facing the gatehouse, shattering the screen inside and causing a fire.

"Is this the power of the big tube?" The dejected crowd looked at the miserable scene in amazement, and Yoshihiko Tango, who had recently come back to his senses, shouted. "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and put out the fire"

The fire was quickly extinguished, but what next? Everyone looked at Teyo and Tango. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to do. At this time, another loud bang was heard, and this cannonball directly destroyed the wooden turret (arrow tower) in the northeast corner of the Guptokkan. The wooden turret that creaked and broke from it fell to the ground and crushed several adjacent longhouses, which made the already low morale of everyone in the hall fall to the bottom in an instant.

At this point, Teyo, who couldn't resist the terrible big tube, had no choice but to look at Tango Saemon Yoshihiko: "Tango-kun, what do you say we should do now?" ”

Nima, at this point, you still have to drag me into the water, the angry Danhou was silent on the surface, but he said in a correct position: "I am just a guard, whether it is fighting or surrendering, I will listen to your orders." ”

The grinning hand generation glanced at Danhou resentfully, but Danhou was right, he was the supreme commander, and he had no choice but to make up his mind before Zheng Jun's third shell hit: "Open the door of the hall and surrender everyone"

The door of the Guptabe Pavilion opened, and twenty or so mermaids rushed out, kneeling on their knees with their hands, prostrate there to greet the arrival of the victors. They didn't have to wait long, and about thirty Ainu warriors cautiously came to them, searched for weapons on their bodies, and then drove them to the Zheng army's position.

Accepting the captives of Teyo and Tango, Zheng Junwei nodded at the Ainu people, and the smiling Ainu people then roared into the Gupta Pavilion, and searched for wine in the stunned eyes of the Japanese and began to carnival.

"Is it strange?" The general smiled at the captives. "There's nothing strange about this, your merchant clan doesn't like it, so naturally you give it to the Ainu people as a reward, and the Gupta Pavilion is the same, it will be this camp of the Ainu people in the future."

The flustered hand generation muttered speechless, but Dango was stronger, and asked the Japanese-speaking officer Zheng: "Why do you Mingren come to beat us, you are a robber and a bandit."

"Robbers, bandits!" I interrupted the words of Tango Saemon all of a sudden. "That's pretty much the same thing on your heads." Put the total blame. "The Hon-Domain and the Matsumae Clan have agreed that the Japanese are not allowed to set foot in the Ishikari River, Tenshio River, and Kitami Areas, and the war horses grazing in the Hon-Domain are not allowed to be captured and hunted, what have you done!"

Ming Zheng originally expected to graze tens of thousands of horses in Ezo, but Hokkaido's emergence as a famous ranch was the result of the opening of the 19th and 20th centuries, when most of the island was forested.

Since large-scale grazing was impossible, Zheng Fan grazed only a few hundred horses, and although they were just ordinary Mongolian horses, they were also one of the few good horses in Japan except for the southern horses, which were about to become extinct, so merchants often instigated the Ainu tribes to stealthily hunt them.

Ming Zheng Ezo Prefecture used to turn a blind eye, but I didn't expect it to be because of the lack of troops, now that the Korean war situation has eased, Ming Zheng has spare strength, and the Ezo Prefecture Protectorate immediately turned its face, it is really not that the time has not arrived, and the time has been fully reimbursed
