August 15th, Tokyo City, the city south of the city.

There is a high platform north of the quid, and at this time there are eight-color flags filled with them, fluttering in the autumn wind.

Under the platform, there were about a thousand costumes and people of all kinds standing there, talking in groups of people from east to west.

It is obvious that those who were still talking despite the scolding of Qing officials on the stage were the leaders of the Jurchens from the East China Sea and the savage Jurchens.

Some of the so-called leaders are just a village, which is called Hara in Manchu. The real leaders are obviously standing on the stage.

On this day, the leaders of various tribes from the East China Sea and Haibei (north of Heilongjiang) needed to pay tribute to the Qing court, that is, pay sables to the Qing court. The Qing emperor believed that these people were their tribe members and were internal affairs of the Manchus, and the sables paid were naturally included in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

These people came from afar, and in addition to the marten fur they brought, they naturally brought more marten fur. Other furs, Dongzhu, and rare ginseng came to trade, and then exchanged other supplies with Manchu and Han merchants here.

This is the real purpose of their journey to this place thousands of miles away. Otherwise, some savage Jurchens who were still near the Kamchatka Peninsula would not need to pay tribute to the Qing court at all, and the Qing court would not be able to defeat them.

The Qing court used this day to pay tribute and get married, so naturally they had the purpose of being gentle. They would reward the leaders of various tribes with official uniforms and cloth to show their favor. In addition, important tribes would also use marriage to win over.

At this time, the Russians had already begun to enter East Siberia. Under the attack of Truchen, their entry was obviously far less powerful than in history, but after all, they came in. They were still free and easy to deal with the savage Jurchens in East Siberia.

At the same time, the Qing court introduced a large number of Jurchens in the East China Sea south of Heilongjiang and west of the sea to New Manchuria, which made it thin and populated. So some savage Jurchen tribes moved there one after another, filling the gap in Jurchens in the East China Sea in just a few years.

Therefore, although there are all Jurchens and savages on the stage and under the stage, most of them are still savages and savages.

For the Jurchen tribes, the Qing court had no more effective governance except for declaring sovereignty through canonization and tribute to sables and rewarding Wulin. Under the oppression of the Russians, these people were also willing to accept the rule of the Qing court.

However, there are still many internal conflicts between the savage Jurchens and the East China Sea Jurchens. There are also many wars arising from pastures, hunting grounds, and internal disputes between them. The Qing court was happy to see all this because they could serve as reconciliators from time to time.

In addition, it is also what they are willing to see that the Jurchen tribes maintain their combat effectiveness.

Today, after years of fighting and integration, a great leader from the savage Jurchen from the Haibei savage has finally emerged near Boli (Khabarovsk). This man is called Akhtu, and is actually a Chukki. After the Russians entered the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, they first contacted them.

In addition to the Chukochi people, there are also Koriacs, which have similar languages, but compared with the Koriacs, the Chukochi people are truly tribes that eat raw meat and drink blood, very primitive and barbaric. They are people who can use simple tools to fight brown bears and walruses. They are cruel and brave enough to imagine.

So the Russians suffered for the first time since entering the Far East, but as time went by, both the Chukki and the Koriak were ultimately defeated by their thin population and their backward weapons.

However, since experiencing the battle with the Russians, the Chukkochi gradually learned to use firearms. When Ahtu led his tribe south, he was already a large tribe with dozens of muskets, and naturally many tribes depended on him.

By the time he arrived in Heilongjiang and near the Ussuri River, he was already a powerful tribe with a population of about a thousand. The East China Sea Jurchens there were obviously no opponents. After the Qing court learned about it, they changed their previous attitude of killing them and prepared to win him over.

This time, the Qing court not only planned to enthrone him as the leader of the tribe of the three surnames, Dorobel, but also planned to marry a real royal woman to him.

Of course, such a person will definitely not marry the royal family's close relatives, obviously he is a distant general.

Chukochi looks similar to the Mongols, most of whom are fat and strong, with a fat face, but this Ahtu is an exception. He is tall and handsome, young, and is still less than 30 years old. After Emperor Qianlong learned about it, he promised him a great-granddaughter of Yinzhen, the eldest prince of the Kangxi Dynasty.

On the high platform, there were also a large group of people standing, three of whom were very eye-catching.

One of them was about 30 years old. He was the current deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Baoqing, who was also the descendant of Yinzhen. He had just become the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He came here to preside over the Autumn Ceremony, so he naturally wanted to escort his sister to marry.

Standing at the right side of Baoqing, a young man of about twenty, was tall and mighty. It was Sun Qingcheng, who was the former chief of the Han army, the Red Banner of the Han army. His current position is a second-class guard of the palace. He was able to stay in the palace and sleep. As Baoqing's deputy, he came to Tokyo City to participate in the presidency of the ceremony.

Of course, Sun Qingcheng is tall and powerful, and has a strong martial arts skills, so he naturally also means to secretly subdue Ahtu.

The same tall and mighty man standing on the left of Baoqingzhi was Ahtu. His hair was woven into strands, inlaid with pearls and gems, his face was slightly black and his eyes were deeply sunken, which was quite similar to the Indians in later generations.

He was wearing a first-rate military officer robe awarded to him by the Qing court, which complemented the eye-catching hair accessories.

Before this, Sun Qingcheng had competed with Ahtu, but Sun Qingcheng still won, but he also understood that he only defeated him in terms of skills. In terms of strength alone, he was far inferior to him, and his endurance was even worse.

Before the three, there was a big fat man who was born white and fat, but wearing a princely costume. This man was the head of the clan's sons left behind in the Qing Dynasty and Luo Tai, descendant of Murhazi, the younger brother of Nurhaci.

Tokyo City is a private land of Manchus, and all living in the royal family or founding fathers. Luo Tai was their leader and the nominal leader of the Eight Banners outside the Pass. The Qing court did not allow free trade outside the Pass, and could only hold a ceremony in Tokyo City through the opportunity of tribute to sables and rewarding Wulin. It was obviously to support the Manchu nobles here.

Luo Tai is even more fat and fat, and he looks a lot of oil and water.

Almost all the people who came, Luo Tai came to Baoqing and said with a smile: "Master, it's almost done"

Baoqing nodded, and he was worried about Luo Tai, a Manchu nobleman who stayed outside the pass and was full of fat intestines and ate and waited for death.

I look down on you very much, but now Luo Tai is the prince of Duluo, and he is just a little boy. Although his official position and relatives are better than him, he is the prince after all, isn't he?

Then he forced a smile, "What are you waiting for? Starting!"

Luo Tai quickly shouted.

"The time has come, the bill begins!"

There is also a musical instrument team near the high platform. After hearing Luo Tai's shout, he immediately started to roar the gongs and drums. For a moment, the gongs and drums were loud and the people were crowded. The tribal leaders under the stage also danced one after another.

The ceremony officially started, and a group of officials from Tokyo City were instructed and managed. However, Baoqing and others' affairs were not over yet. The tribal leaders had to go to the stage to present their tribute marten according to the list, and then he personally rewarded them with the robes and cloth made by the court.

This is a long process. There are almost hundreds of people in the tribe, and some even set out a few months in advance. This is because if they want to enter the market for trade, they must pay the tribute before talking about it.

The Qing court did not allow ordinary people to participate in the Kanto trade, but it was obvious that the Manchu nobles in Tokyo were able to do so. There were also many Han people under their banner. In addition to a large amount of land, these nobles could also make a fortune from a large number of trades every year.

But they still have to do the things on the surface.

Baoqing coughed lightly and said loudly: "Ahtu received the order!"

Although I had known it a long time ago, Ahtu still knelt on the ground to listen to the order. Baoqing began to read the order. It was nothing more than hearing that you, Ahtu, are brave and good at fighting, and are close to the Qing Dynasty. I was very happy and specially enthroned as Dorobel and married the princess of the royal family.

He was rewarded with a lot of rich gifts. In addition to several sets of robes and clothes that were commensurate with Baylor, there were also a complete set of armor, treasure swords, silver ingots, fine salt, silk and other items. The dowry for princesses to get married was even more dazzling.

Then there were a group of leaders of all sizes. When the sun sets and their legs are numb, Baoqing will only have contact with all the tribal leaders.

But his work is not over yet.

According to the auspicious time agreed before, in the evening he would preside over the wedding ceremony of ten royal men, ten tribal women, ten royal women and ten tribal leaders. Of course, this ceremony would obviously not be held here.

With the help of his personal soldiers, he staggered towards Tokyo City, where there was a hall specially used to preside over the wedding ceremony. When he thought of the long and complicated ceremony, Baoqing suddenly had ten thousand grass mud horses running by, but he could not rest yet, and he had to preside over the ceremony.

So, he could only raise Yu Yong, and while lamenting, he dragged his heavy body towards Tokyo City.

If he was in the pass, he could have been in a sedan chair and left, but it was obviously not possible here. In order to show that the Manchu men are skilled in archery and horses, he could only stand all the way. He could have ridden a horse, but now he is so tired that he can't get on the horse.

After going up rashly, it is very likely that he will fall down halfway. Such a thing happens under the attention of a group of tribal leaders, which will naturally damage the face of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Baoqing had to walk to.

When I finally walked to the gate of Tokyo, I heard another commotion in the distance outside the city. Baoqing thought there was something wrong with the court. Just as he was about to curse, a war horse rushed over.

The visitor was his Bayala personal soldier. When Baoqing saw that it was him, he couldn't help but think to himself: "Isn't he in Liaoyang City? What's going to do when he comes here?"

I saw that the man dismounted quickly about three feet away from Baoqing, with great skills.
Chapter completed!
