The leader of the Feiyakar people in the middle of Sakhalin Island, the fifty-year-old Hashu still got married as he wished.

An aristocratic woman, a girl who just turned fifteen.

But Ahtu, the leader of the Jurchens in the East China Sea, was not so lucky. Her woman Shushuge was married by Deng Hengxue. In order to appease him, the Qing court enthroned Shushuge's maid as a princess and married him. This maid was originally thought to be accepted by Kang Xiaozi, but later, considering the stability of the continent west of Sakhalin Island, he gave it to Ahtu.

But this obviously caused hatred between the Jurchens of the East China Sea and Truqin. Although seeing that Truqin actually defeated the powerful Qing Dynasty, Ahtu could only temporarily lie dormant, the seeds of hatred had obviously been planted.

After obtaining Sakhalin Island, Deng Hengxue immediately appointed Kang Xiaozi's son, the commander of the Marine Battalion, Kang Qingyi, as the commander of the Sakhalin Island, and brought a wooden squadron, and ten fleets carrying a thousand Han immigrants set off.

The reason why Kang Qingyi was appointed was not only because he knew Manchu language, but also because the Marine Corps had a descendant of a Japanese immigrant.

His name is Lin Kenta. He is a Japanese born in the southern part of Sakhalin Island. He was originally a farmer who was placed here by Matsumae Bible. Later, he joined Truqin. Naturally, he joined the campaign to destroy the Tokugawa Shogunate and support the emperor to return to power.

However, it was obviously his father who joined. Even so, his father had told him all about Sakhalin Island.

"Sir"

When the fleet sailed into the Sea of ​​Japan, Lin Kenta began to tell Kang Qingyi about the situation on Sakhalin Island.

"The north of the island is a plain, but it is extremely cold, with swamps and lagoons everywhere, and it is rich in various minks. It is the world of the Ewenki people, and they are very good at catching minks"

"Their people are all over the north of the island, but their leaders live in the west of the island, closest to the mainland, where they are called Mayak, and the mainland is obviously their relatives and tribes. There are only a few dozen miles between the two places, facing each other through the strait"

"It's not far from the estuary of Heilongjiang River"

"This leader also married a Manchu royal family woman, originally named Nurhaci, but was later changed to Qiaohaci by the Qing court"

Kang Qingyi, who knew Manchu language, smiled and said, "Nurhaci, Manchu language means a person as fierce as a wild boar, while Qiaohaci is a fool like a roe deer. The Qing people should change his name to a better one, but it is really funny to change it to this one."

Lin Jian naturally didn't understand Manchu words, and he also laughed.

"Every family in Ewenki has a birch bark boat. If the strait is windy and waves, you can take this boat to the other side, but it is still very dangerous"

"After Matsumaki Fan came here, he immediately explored the entire island. According to their statement, there are probably not only 20,000 to 30,000 people in the entire island, and there are only a few thousand people in the Ewenki, because the colder the northwards."

"The central part is a plain, a place with mountains intertwined, with a slightly better climate than the north. The residents here are the Feiyakha people, which is what mainlanders call them. They call themselves the Nevhe people and also speak a language similar to Manchu"

"There is a big river called Temi River. Most of the Feiyakans live along the river, while their leader Hashu lives in the middle of the river, a place called Wohesaha..."

(Wohesaha, the coal production area of ​​central Sahalin in later generations)

When he saw Kang Qingyi suddenly laughed, he also smiled and said, "The chief must have found something from this word"

Kang Qingyi nodded, "According to Manchu pronunciation, Wohe means stone, Saha means black, and joining together means black stone production, and their chiefs do not live by the sea, but in the jungle. In addition to covering the cold wind here, it must be related to this black stone"

Lin Jiantai nodded, "Yes, this is the most coal-producing place on the entire island. It's of good quality and is distributed naturally. These Feiyakans must have known the use of this black stone early in the morning. In addition, the fish harvest in the rivers are abundant, so it's not surprising to live in the jungle."

"In addition, there are oil and natural gas near the outlet of the Temi River. The Qing people who have been here at this time did not understand their purpose. When our country conquered Japan, it sent ships to inspect and discovered this immediately."

(Referring to the oil city of Sakhalin in later generations, the port of Nogliki)

"Feyakha people are spread all over the middle of the island, with about two or three thousand households and more than ten thousand people. They are mainly distributed in the Temi River Basin. There are dozens of tribes, the largest one is Hashu, and there are only more than three hundred households"

"By the way, in the western end of the central and western part of the island, there is a place called Pojibi. This place is only more than ten miles away from the mainland and is very close. It is also guarded by Hashu people, so it is naturally to facilitate communication with the mainland"

(Pakkibe, the port in the central part of Sakhalin Island is close to the Tatar Strait, and is only seven kilometers away from the port of Lazarev on the other side)

"The black fox unique to Sakhalin Island is produced in the middle of the island. Its fur is shiny and smooth, and it is more precious than the fire fur produced in the mainland. It was also designated as a tribute by the Qing court every year. It was because of this large tribe leader who was included in the tribute of diaper and worship Wulin"

"There are two mountains in the south that almost stretch across the entire south. The middle valley is naturally the best and warmest place on the entire island. There were originally a large number of Anu Yiren here, but since the Matsumaki Fan came here, they have killed a lot"

"Later, after our country intervened in Japan, Matsumae Bible relaxed its custody of Anuyi here. The Japanese called this island Kata Island, which was actually obtained from Feiyaka"

"Originally, Anu Yiren's old nest was in the south of the valley. Anu Yiren called it Sapporo, which means that there are dry and rivers between the valleys. After being occupied by Matsumae, it was changed to Huatai City. It has a simple city wall, full of wooden buildings"

(Sapporo-Hata Castle, refers to the city of Southern Kazarinsk in later generations, and Sapporo in Hokkaido, which is not Sapporo in Hokkaido)

"The son of Matsumae Shihiro Matsumae, the illegitimate son of Matsumae, was sealed here. It has been ten years now. There are about 500 Japanese families here. This is the only place where rye can be grown. When potatoes and corn were passed here, they also began to grow along the slopes of the river valley."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"These five hundred households are all samurai Shihiro Matsue. They all have wives and concubines, and the family of their concubines moved here to farm specifically for them."

"The Ainu people moved to the sea near the south, a place called Avani, which is the outlet of the Avani River, and another part of Anui moved to a place also close to the sea in the central and southern part, which is called Poronai"

(Avani, later Avani City, Poronai, later Poronaisque)

"The climate in the south is mild and the rainfall is quite abundant, which is more suitable for farming. Rye, corn and potatoes are all the same. This is the world of the Ainu people. They have the largest number of people, about 10,000 households, 50,000 or 60,000 people"

"They can smel iron tools and make sailing ships and sailing..."

"Fifty or sixty thousand people can't beat hundreds of Japanese samurai?"

"Of course this is not the case. At the beginning, Matsumae-fan must have dispatched a large army, and only appeared in the face of his master after it stabilized."

"Then do you think the Matsumaki Fan will pay attention to the treaty between our country and the Qing Empire?"

"This..., it should be fine. Our country is the culprit of the Kingdom of Japan, and every emperor still needs our country to enthrone it"

....

Not long after, the fleet arrived at the northwest end of Hokkaido.

Looking at the two small islands in the distance, Lin Kenta said: "Sir, although the climate in the southern part of Sakhalin Island is slightly better, there is also a two and a half months freezing period along the coast. The small island in the south is called Rishiri Island, which is the only nearby unfreezing island. Look..."

Kang Qingyi thought for a while and said, "There is still time. Let's talk about it when we settle down in Sakhalin Island. This is also the territory of Matsumae's vassal?"

"No, after our country intervened in Japan, the Emperor naturally took back all the fiefs that were extremely loyal to the Tokugawa shogunate and the Tokugawa clan, and then drove the northern vassals to Hokkaido, which was the territory of the Hirosaki vassal."

As he was talking, two big ships suddenly came!

At first glance, it was a large European ocean transport ship. When he saw a fleet suddenly appeared in front of him, the two large ships immediately blew the bronze horn used to warn.

However, when I saw the red-bottomed golden dragon on the main mast of the fleet, the big ship quickly posed a banner that represents friendship.

When Kang Qingyi saw the national flag, he couldn't help but frown.

"Dutch?"

Lin Jianta quickly said: "Yes, since the Emperor was restored, he drove the northern vassals to Hokkaido, which was formerly known as the Hokkaido, and sealed the royal family to the north. This made the northern vassals very dissatisfied, and naturally missed the former Tokugawa shogunate."

"Because Hokkaido is remote, the Dutch took the opportunity to enter and gained much more benefits than the central and southern vassals. In addition, in the northeast of Hokkaido, there are Kuril Islands, which can directly connect to the Kamchatka Peninsula from here, and from the Kamchatka Peninsula to the east, there are another series of archipelagos"

"It can directly connect to the North American continent, and the Dutch used these islands to occupy the west coast of North America"

If it was Qitad here, he would sigh: "With the change in the situation in Japan, I didn't expect that the situation in North America would change. Later, the west coast of the United States was originally the sphere of influence of the Spanish, but now he has forcibly entered a Dutch country!"

What made Kang Qingyi even more worried was that there were chimneys on the two large ships!

Although there are still sails hanging, it is obviously a steam engine and a ship with two sails.

Lin Jianta, who once experienced at schools at all levels of Truchen, said again: "Sir, the westerly wind prevails near Hokkaido. Dutch dual-purpose ships can use sails when they pass through the Americas, and steam when they come back."

"They occupied the Aleutian Islands?"

Aleutian, also a Tungus word, means island, and has long been marked on the Truchen nautical chart.

"It's probably true, but the climate there is too harsh, far less comfortable than Sakhalin Island. With the Dutch nature, at most coal stacks were set up on the island in the middle and a few people were arranged to guard it"

Kang Qingyi's brows became tighter and tighter.

"According to our country's vision, after controlling Sakhalin Island, we can control Russia and Japan at the same time, and then go straight to the American continent through the westerly wind belt. Unexpectedly, the Dutch took the lead. However, there are no good resources on the west coast of North America. What are the Dutch going there?"

Lin Jianta said: "The Dutch not only had close relations with the Hokkaido vassals, but also had extremely close trade with the Qing Dynasty. It is said that the Dutch found a large number of ginseng in the mountains on the west coast of North America. Their tastes were very different from those of the Northeast ginseng. However, after verification by the Qing doctors, they believed that the efficacy was no less than that of the Northeast ginseng."

(Refers to the specialty of ginseng in the mountains at the junction of the United States and Canada in later generations)

"So the Dutch bought this item from the North Americans at a high price, and then sold it to the Qing, Japan and North Korea at an extremely high price. They are the items that are now profitable as much as those of the South China spice trade."
