"Your Excellency, the guests are here!"

Outside a thatched hut in the Ezo region of Hokkaido, a voice suddenly sounded. With the sound of this voice, Luo Masamune in the thatched house slowly opened his eyes.

In the previous avalanche, he and several people around him were drowned by the snowdrifts that tumbled down, but fortunately, this avalanche not only frightened the wild wolves that were following them behind, but also attracted the attention of those local leaders who happened to be hunting nearby, so that Luo Masamune and others were dug out of the snow in time.

Of the several people buried by the avalanche, only a few suffered from frostbite, but none died. And after arriving at the destination, under the arrangement of the locals, Luo Masamune was able to rest for a day and a night, and now, presumably the patriarch of the other party came to ask for a meeting, so he immediately said to the door of the thatched house: "Please come in!" ”

Soon after, Matsuzaburo walked in from outside the door accompanied by a strange-looking person, and introduced him to Masamune Roche:

"My lord, this is the Patriarch of Adjara!"

"It is an honor to be received by you, my lord!" The red-haired, green-eyed Adjar bowed respectfully to Roche Masamune with a humility that was extremely incommensurate with his rough appearance, but in this way, he was still much higher than Roche Masamune.

"I can't thank you enough for asking you in such an abrupt way, and thanks to your help before, we were able to get out of danger!" With the humility of being a superior person, Masamune Roche apologized and thanked Eden Hazard. The main purpose of the Rashi Masamune's visit was to win over this ethnic group known as the Ainu.

Of course, this was all explained by the Lord Gongzheng Liang when they set out for the Third Expedition. Although it is not clear how the Lord knew so much about the situation here, and knew that this was a sparsely populated but extremely backward area. There is such an ethnic group that has been oppressed for a long time by local wealthy clans such as the lower country and the Oyster family.

According to the original introduction of the Lord Gongzhengliang. Most of the area is inhabited by the Ainu people. The archipelago in the north, known as the Kuril Islands, is also home to many different ethnic groups. And the local Warring States wealthy clan of Ezo is actually only located in the narrow strip of southern Ezo.

And because of the vast area, there are many undeveloped areas, although there is no shortage of resources, but agriculture, commerce, etc. are very underdeveloped, all kinds of materials such as food, weapons, etc. need to be purchased from the hands of the wealthy outside, and the only rich resource is fish, especially salmon. Silver carp, kelp, etc. In addition, the furs of wild animals and eagle feathers are also specialties of the area. However, due to the long-term oppression of the Warring States wealthy clans outside, they often have disputes with those wealthy clans.

Although the land was nominally occupied by the Ando family, it was actually in the hands of the Oysayaki family and the lower country. Especially now, from Matsuzaburo, the Roshi Masamune also learned that with the gradual growth of the Oysaki family, there has been a conflict with the lower country that had just been killed by the Ando family, and the two families are about to confront each other.

In such a situation. Masamune of the Rashi clan followed the original method of the lord Masara and took the initiative to win over these Ainu who had been oppressed by the Oysaki family and the lower state for too long. Then, with the help of the Ainu, he defeated the Oyster family and the lower country and became the new master of the Ezo region.

Of course, the thirty-one-year-old Masamune of the Luo clan, although he has learned a lot of things from Masaara's side for a long time, is now one of the important ministers of the Luo family, and this time he is even more responsible for opening up the Luo family's new territory in the Ezo region, but at this time he does not know that after he followed Masayo's strategy and prepared to unite the Ainu people to fight for control of the Ezo region, he started the journey of introducing the Ainu into the warring states.

The Ainu are, after all, a tribe, a complex social group! A small society enters a large society, and the conflict, adaptation, integration, and change between them is a trend that will inevitably occur, and there are both the occurrence of the assimilation of the Han people in the Central Plains and the occurrence of Shatuo, as well as the precedent of the Germanic migration to destroy the Roman Empire. Luo Masamune naturally didn't know what he had done, and although Masara, who came up with this method, knew this, since he had already introduced hundreds of thousands of Ming immigrants and their local descendants in Kyushu into the Sengoku system, he naturally wouldn't mind introducing the Ainu into the long history of the Sengoku period.

In any case, this Ainu ethnic group was very miserable even in later generations, almost to the point of extinction, and even if it was able to continue the race in the end, it was still regarded as a servant by the local Japanese in later generations. Now Zhengliang is going to change the historical trajectory of their race.

After all, some Japanese in later generations were too shameless and cold-blooded, and Masahiro wanted to introduce the Ming people and Ainu people through guò to neutralize the inferior roots in the hearts of the Japanese, and even wipe out those who were inferior roots.

Maybe when he first came to this Warring States Period, Masashi didn't dare to say anything, but with the strength of the Luo family now, Masashi really has the ability to slowly put this idea into action. And now, as his small surname, Masamune of the Luo clan came to the Ainu settlement with this goal of his, and officially started the journey of Masayo.

"My lord can come to this bitter cold place in the far north for us, which shows your sincerity! Due to the twists and turns on the road, I am even more grateful! In the thatched house, in the face of Luo Zhengzong's gratitude, Hazard immediately responded with sincere words and a sincere attitude.

Eden Hazard obviously knew the approximate identity of the Luo clan at this time, but since they didn't know the situation in the south, they could only deal with the Luo clan carefully.

In the eyes of Masamune Roche, although the accent of Eden Hazard is very strange, with some habitual grunting tongue curls, the words are still quite appropriate. Probably due to his long-term work in external contact, he seems to be reasonable and flexible, and with such a person in the middle of the run-in, his actions here should go much more smoothly this time.

"This group has been taken care of by you before, and it has solved our most urgent needs, and we are unforgettable for a way of life that you have given!" While Masamune Roche was thinking in his heart, Hazard continued to thank. Previously, Luo Wu had indeed maintained trade contacts with the Adjara tribe for a long time, and it was precisely because of the way that the two sides established a little foundation of trust that led to the visit of Luo Masamune.

"Business is business, integrity-based, mutual benefit and reciprocity are the principles, not to mention who thanks whom! In the long-term trade cooperation with you, we have also made huge profits. Although he knew that the other party's gratitude would be conducive to further negotiations, Luo Masamune also knew that dealing with people of these races with a condescending attitude would inevitably attract disgust, so he said sternly:

"Although the north is cold and the roads are far away, the products produced in the south are all of high value! You occupy this treasure land of self-reliance, accumulation, and over time, it will not be difficult to open up a vast world. ”

"My lord has won the award, and the hard work here is not enough for outsiders!" In the face of Luo's description, Azar shook his head, and a helpless wry smile appeared on his face, "The land of Ezo is frozen, and there are only less than five months of farming in a year!" Although the land is fertile, the water supply is scarce, and the crops produced are really limited. Although the people are good at animal husbandry, the aquatic plants of Ezo are really ...... It's ......" He couldn't think of what adjectives to use for a moment.

"What do you think if we are here to support the nobles and cooperate with each other?" Luo Masamune said suddenly at this time.

"Huh?" Hazard obviously didn't expect Luo Masamune to mention this sensitive topic so quickly, and he was a little stunned immediately, and after he came to his senses, he looked at Luo Masamune a little hesitantly and said, "My lord, this? What are you? ”

"Huh." In the face of Hazard's hesitation, Luo Masamune said with a smile, "I came to seek cooperation, and the reason why I said such a thing is because I don't plan to leave any 'hole cards' in my hand!" Perhaps the cooperation proposed below is a life-and-death choice for both of you, so I don't want to have any suspicion between each other! Of course, I don't expect to get any promises right away, maybe it would be better to stay with you for a while and give a detailed explanation to the people here. ”

"In that field do you hope our cooperation will be?" Seeing that Luo Zhengzong was so straightforward, Eden Hazard no longer hesitated, so he immediately asked.

Instead of immediately answering Hazard's question, he asked, "Is your current situation difficult?" ”

"Yes!" Hazard also nodded in acknowledgement, without the slightest intention of concealing it.

"And do you want to get rid of it?"

"It's a dream all the time!"

"Well, this means that we have the initial foundation for cooperation!" Luo Zhengzong straightened up slightly, supported the table with both hands, and stared at Hazard in front of him, "Is the eagle willing to be tied to its wings?" Is the blue wolf willing to spend his life in a burrow like a mouse? Is the giant bear, the king of the snowfields, satisfied with the moss on the frozen soil? ”

"What do you mean...... I understand it below! After a long silence, Hazard nodded heavily, "But as the Lord just said, such a decision is tantamount to a life-and-death decision for the tribe below!" Therefore, please forgive me, but we have to take a short time to consider and coordinate. ”

"I understand and agree with this very much!" "No matter what the final outcome is, this is a good opportunity for us to deepen our understanding of each other!" ”

"Thank you for your understanding!"
