Hokkaido, formerly known as Ezo, is the second largest island in the Japanese province, with an area of many square kilometers. The central part is high and surrounded by plains. It is 420 kilometers wide from north to south and 540 kilometers long from east to west, bordering the Sea of Japan in the west, the Pacific Ocean in the south, and the Sea of Okhotsk in the northeast. It is bordered by the Tsugaru Strait to the southwest and the Strait of La Perouse to the north.

Facing Sakhalin Island, it is a strategic place to control the two gorges, a frontier outpost in northern Japan, and is known as the "key to Japan's north gate". It's just that at this time, it was not considered by the Japanese people, and it was not as prosperous as later generations, and it was not the only province among the 47 prefectures in Japan in later generations.

Now it is just the living home of the Anu people, but it is forcibly occupied by the Yamato people. Enslave their brothers and sisters, kill them for no reason, and exploit them wantonly.

The current group of islands in the northern region is indigenous territory. As Jeju came into contact with it, Sakhalin and several large islands built improvised docks with Yangsan minions stationed to guard the fleet and the flow of supplies.

At the end of April, the mighty fleet sailed into the Soya Strait overnight. Passing by Sakhalin. Xu Guanzhong did not act rashly, and cautiously anchored in the nearby waters. Dispatch 1,78 ships, and more than 1,000 people to explore the road first.

The flower monk Lu Zhishen wanted to lead the team in person, but the deputy general Fat Maitreya Zong came to "the general can move lightly", so he took 1,800 people and the interpreter to set foot on the island first, and when it was safe, he sent a signal to notify the army to follow.

The Ainu are an indigenous group in the northern part of the Wa Kingdom, or Ainu, Ainu, or Ainu, who are the indigenous people who live in Sakhalin, Hokkaido, the Kuril Islands, and Kamchatka.

Similar to the Shanyue ethnic group in China, it was classified as uncivilized Mao people in the Wa Kingdom. It's like the ancient Central Plains in ancient China when other places were barbarian lands. Deeply oppressed and exploited by the Yamato national regime, like a serf.

At present, more than 200,000 people live on the island, deep in the mountains, old forests and coastal islands. The Ainu persevered and fought to the death. Relying on improvised self-made weapons and relying on dense mountains and forests, he has fought against the Yamato people to this day.

These people are very cautious and xenophobic! If it weren't for the fact that the Liangshan Action Team encountered a group of Ainu who were besieged and in danger, and killed the Japanese to save them, they would not have been able to get in touch with this group of natives so far.

The island's natives have a difficult life, living by hunting and gathering wild fruits, fishing, with little cultivation and difficult conditions. Hunger and cold, and the oppression of the Yamato people, massacres, and ethnic crises, the number of people is decreasing year by year.

At this time, Yangsan Jeju Island was born and was willing to lend a hand. The most powerful tribal chieftains of the Ainu are tempted for the safety of their community. After this period of negotiations, the Ainu have been wooed. It has been successively armed and reorganized and trained, and has a contingent of 50,000 people so far. Raise an army of rebels ready to take revenge and take home to the garden!

Xu Guanzhong's main responsibility is contact, he knows clearly, but he doesn't dare to be careless. I saw a large area of torches shaking on the island all the time, and there was no anomaly. Only then did he lead the fleet to slowly approach Wajima and anchor in the harbor.

In addition to the fat monks and the elite of Liangshan, there are also natives on the island who carry torches on the shore. Wearing an animal skin coat on his body, he has thick body hair, look

Get up like a savage. This is also the reason why it is called Maoren.

If you look closely, except for being slightly shorter, you are stocky, a bit like a Tibetan person.

Now these friendly shotguns have been replaced. Dressed in leather armor, he carried an iron spear and steel knife. Looking at the giant ship like a behemoth, everyone was stunned.

The Ainu showed absolute enthusiasm for this group of Song people, because the life of the Ainu people improved after the arrival of large quantities of food and supplies. No one froze to death in winter, much to the gratitude of the natives. Of course, a few are also wary.

Under the warm welcome of everyone, Xu Guanzhong led the team to set foot on the island country for the first time. Met with the Great Chief of the Ainu tribe and had a lively conversation with him. It indicates a change in the pattern of the island, and also indicates that a major war is about to break out.

A few days after the Liangshan army set foot on the island of Hokkaido, the team moved. Most of the tens of thousands of heavily armed Ainu formed an army, and some of the elites who were familiar with the terrain were scattered into the divisions of the two armies and became scouts.

At the beginning of May, the early morning wind blew away the fog on the sea! But it could not blow away the atmosphere of war on the plains near the sea. Liangshan was elite, and the indigenous army was lined up in several phalanxes with 80,000 or 90,000 people, and Xu Guanzhong mobilized the whole army. A few of the fine works and natives around them have learned from each other, following the shouting translation.

"Brothers, arise, no longer be slaves, and build an iron-blooded wall out of our flesh and blood. We can't abandon our homeland, we can't let our communities disappear in the dust of history, please take up your weapons and fight. ”

The translation of Chinese into the indigenous dialect lacks momentum and charm, and the key is that the aborigines cannot understand it. Liang Shan's minions screamed wildly, and most of the natives did not respond.

It's still the rare eight-foot-tall Ainu with big shoulders and a round waist, and a beard on his face

The great chief of the human tribe brandished the axe and roared and roared and screamed, as if he were scolding, and the Ainu followed suit.

"Sons, here's your chance for revenge, open your eyes and see. Our compatriots were brutally killed, do you think we can swallow our anger? ”

"Can't, can't, can't ......"

"The enemy is powerful, what should we do?"

"Oh oh, kill, kill, kill them all."

"May the ancestors be with us!"

……

Several fine works were translated like this, but Xu Guanzhong was skeptical. Of course, in any case, the fighters were emotionally mobilized and their fighting spirit was high. They shouted at the top of their voices, and the roars became more and more neat. Everyone brandished the weapons in their hands, their faces full of fanaticism, and the crowd was furious, shouting and shouting and killing.

After the general mobilization before the war, the soldiers were fed with war meals and drank practice wine. Carrying three days of dry rations, the first shot of overseas expansion was officially fired as the generals of each army killed the Japanese army stationed in Hokkaido.

The island of Honshu was the core area of the Yamato regime, and its territory expanded to Hokkaido. Due to the distinction between good and bad in the legal system, it suffered strong resistance from the local natives, but unfortunately the equipment was backward, and there were fewer victories and more defeats in the course of the conflict. Until the defeat was retreated, the land was occupied, and he escaped into the deep mountains and old forests to survive.

But these natives have a tough character and often attack and destroy in groups. The Yamato regime built military fortresses and stationed troops to encircle and suppress them from time to time.

Originally, the Ainu people could not afford to turn the wind and waves.

But no one in the Wa Kingdom would have thought that the Song people would suddenly intervene to help the natives. I would never have thought that a bandit cottage would actually try to destroy the country!

In the middle of the night, when the defenders were at their laxest, they launched surprise attacks in many places at the same time. Flying Camp

Scouts are adept at flying up and down walls, climbing quickly with hooks, tackling sentries on duty and opening gates from the inside.

Tens of thousands of troops marched in and slaughtered.

The elite of the Japanese Kingdom was caught off guard and could not gather. Under the double disadvantage of weapons and numbers, it suffered a catastrophe. Many people were hacked to death with a knife in a daze, or directly burned to death.

That night, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river!

More than half of Liangshan were recruits, and it was the first time for him to participate in this kind of operation. The performance is much worse than that of the Ainu, but as they kill more people and accept the baptism of blood and fire, they are gradually transforming into professional soldiers!

Overnight, several fortresses fell.

The Yangsan army was divided into multiple routes, and it blossomed everywhere in the southern region of Hokkaido, and the beacon smoke was everywhere. Military forts were breached, those who dared to resist were eliminated, the Ainu were rescued, supplies were collected, and small forces cleared the surrounding strongholds, recovering all of Hokkaido as quickly as possible.

The attack came too quickly and so suddenly that the Yamato regime simply did not react. Emperor Toba, Emperor Shirakawa learned the news more than ten days later. The territory of decades of expansion is rapidly falling, and the situation is precarious.

The filthy grandfather and grandson didn't care about fighting openly and secretly, and urgently mobilized troops from other places to rush to support. Destroy the Ainu and reclaim the lost land!
