Chapter 1,312 Negotiation! Friends, we have an old saying...
"Great God! Chief Kazuto, who is greedy for gold, why are you asking about the location of our tribe? Do you want to bring the warriors of the tribe, call a large group of helpers, and run to steal our gold?!..."
The kingdom's envoy Lu Xiaohu looked wary, staring closely at Uyizaki Yoshihiro's face and asking questions mercilessly. But Uyizaki Yoshihiro's face turned red and he secretly cursed "Shan Tao barbarian". He did give birth to a child.
Greedy, but I didn't expect these barbarians to speak so directly, it was like a slap in the face, not at all like Kazuto's subtle and tactful manner.
"Ahem! I'm just asking... The more gold we have, the more things we can do... If we have enough gold, we can hire the best craftsmen!... Especially the shipwrights on the list.
, to say that the best one has to be specially brought from North Korea, which requires a lot of gold..."
"Ha! Chief Kazuto, you can't hide it from me! Your desire for gold is just like the lynx that steals fish, you can't stop it no matter how you hide it!..."
Lu Xiaohu sniffed his nose, as if he smelled the smell of greed. He glanced at Yoshihiro Uyizaki with disdain. Then, before the other party became angry, he confidently slapped his chest, seemingly proud, but in fact he shook his head and responded intelligently.
.
"The chief has said, it's okay to tell you! The location of our tribe, from the place where we fought with you before, has to sail straight north for a month! Until the end of the extreme northern sea, that endless snowfield, those structures
The tribe that rides sleds, herds deer, runs and shoots arrows is our tribe!”
"As for the gold mine, of course we have it, but you can't find the specific location. It's deep in the vast snowfield! And our fleet brings very little gold, and most of it is in the tribes in the north. As for the tribes'
We will move around and you will never find the location! ...Haha! Even if you find it, you won't be able to catch up with us, you will only be pulled to death by us pulling the sled and shooting arrows!"
This half-truth and half-false statement directly pointed the location of the kingdom's port from the Kamchatka Peninsula in the northeast to the due north, where the Ewen people and horses, the Chukotka tribe, and the Koryak deer tribe were nomadic together.
Thousands of miles of snowfield.
"Ah! Sailing north for a month, until the vast snowfield?! And the gold mine is still deep in the snowfield?...This? Why is it so far away?!..."
Uyizaki Yoshihiro was stunned for a while, looking at the "honest and confident" Shantao Barbarian, he couldn't express the disappointment in his heart.
He vaguely heard about the distant Arctic Sea and the vast snowfield across the sea. Especially a few years ago, the "ocean-covering ship" sent out by our family in cooperation with Uncle Morino Kiyoshi ended up going there.
Since then, he has completely lost contact with his father, making his father look much older all of a sudden... He originally wanted to ask the other party if he had seen the visiting ship of his family, but when he thought of the vastness of the far north and the legendary sea monsters, he still sighed.
He shook his head.
"The far North Sea is extremely dangerous, making it difficult for Xiaozao and Guan Chuan to pass... And those nomadic barbarian tribes are even more ferocious and dangerous than the last, just like this group of Shantao tribes that suddenly appeared! ...
"
"Hey! Needless to say, the dangerous snowfields, even the Thousand Islands in the northeast, are beyond our reach. Even if we call on the Andong family and the Nanfang clan allies, we can't support such a distant sea route supply! Young master
The purpose of transporting dozens of people is just to transport prisoners to others..."
At this moment, after hearing the words of the Yamata messenger, Uyizaki Yoshihiro finally gave up his thoughts of robbery. But the burning desire for gold was still burning in his chest! After all, this was not only a huge wealth, but also a way to save his martial arts family.
The hope of reputation is even a golden opportunity for the entire Oyizaki clan to rise!
"O Great Bodhisattva Hachiman! This is a large Shantao tribe that specializes in gold!... This is really the blessing of the Buddha, and it is really a blessing to survive the catastrophe!"
"Of course, whether it is redemption or trade, I must first notify my father and obtain his approval and support...Similarly, our family must also rely on Uncle Morino Kiyoshi's Kyoto fleet to turn the gold in exchange into
The goods, livestock and craftsmen were then transferred to the Shanta tribe to be exchanged for more gold...and so on and so forth!..."
In this short moment, Uyizaki Yoshihiro thought of too much and desired too much!
He wanted to redeem all the captured samurai and exchange them for the gold of the Shantao tribe. He wanted to not only wash away the guilt of the defeat, but also make meritorious deeds in return. He wanted to inherit the position of the head of the Oyizaki family and bring him with him.
The Oyizaki clan has risen, and they even want to break away from their main family, the Andō clan, and be directly canonized and recognized by the shogun, gaining the right to control the Ezo land! And all these hopes are inseparable from the "specialty" of the Shantao tribe, and gold.
The "divine power"!
"Buddha! This is the good opportunity you have given me. I must hold it tightly in my hand, just like I hold the Buddha's bond with Bodhi, and never let go!..."
In the next few days, Uyizaki Yoshihiro showed great enthusiasm and cordially received the "Envoy of Yamataru". He could be said to be a humble acquaintance, without any airs of "Young Master of the Uyizaki Family". He even smiled and talked with
The "messengers of Shantao people" drank from the same pot of sake.
"Come! Friends of the Shantao tribe, have a taste of our sake! We and the country have an old saying, 'After it rains, the ground will become firmer'... We had a fight, and it was like a rain.
It’s like a heavy rain! And after the heavy rain, the friendship between us and the friendship between our clans will be as solid as the ground!…”
"Huh! What a hot and refreshing wine! Chief Heren, our tribe also has an old saying, 'A person with friends is as broad as a snowfield! A person without friends is like a sled lost in the snow'...
Of course, the more friends the better! But if you really want to be friends with the tribe, you should be like us and show sincerity first, at least part of it! ... Hiccup! When can you deliver what the chief wants?
…”
"Haha! It's coming, it's coming! Come and try our plum rice balls and delicious pickled radish!..."
"No! I can't eat any more! This is too funny!..."
"Aha! Then drink some more!..."
Under the hospitality of Uyizaki Yoshihiro, Lu Jiaohao feasted and drank for three days. Until the early morning of the fourth day, an Uyizaki scout hurriedly came from the south. He looked at the "Ezo" swaggering in the big tent in confusion.
"People", and then respectfully reported back to him.
"Young Master! I am the vanguard scout of the Houtani family's old army! The Houtani family sent me to pass the news: He has led his family's twenty samurai and two hundred peasant soldiers to the south of Mount Ezo Fuji, a short distance from the family's camp.
, there are still thirty miles left to travel in one day!…”
"Ah! Father has sent the guard of Bishi Hall, the old Hougu family who is good at fighting! Hurry! Follow me out of the camp and go to the south to meet you!..."
Hearing this, Uyizaki Yoshihiro stood up quickly, his face full of solemnity and joy. Then, he looked at the "Shan Tao Messenger" Lu Jiaotu and said with a smile.
"Friends of the Shantao tribe! Come, come with me to see our military strength! This is just the first batch of two hundred peasants and soldiers. If we really mobilize, our family can conquer the entire Heren land, from the Twelve Halls
Among the more than ten thousand people, a thousand troops were drawn out!..."
Kazuto's military strength of two hundred peasant soldiers left a deep impression on Lu Jiaotu. Those skinny peasant soldiers wearing simple cloaks, carrying bamboo guns and iron spears, and wearing bamboo clothes and raincoats probably only had one front face.
If you charge, you will be directly dispersed by the kingdom's hundred armored soldiers!
However, these Kazuto from Ezo, who were pioneering in the difficult and difficult Ezo area, clearly had a kind of perseverance on their faces. They would obey the orders of the samurai obediently, and they could also form simple formations... Once such Kazuto peasants and soldiers
When a large number of mobilizations are gathered together with a small number of backbone warriors, it will become very troublesome! At least, with the same number, the loose tribal warriors of the Ainu clan should not be able to defeat them. They must have the fierce mountains from the north.
Only the Ministry or the Ministry of Deer can participate in the war.
With a large number of peasants and soldiers covering the two wings, forming a military advantage on the battlefield, Kazuto's samurai queue can be freed up to sit in the middle of the army. They can use the lives of the superior peasants and soldiers to consume the stamina of the kingdom's heavy armor and patiently
Waiting for the opportunity to attack the kingdom's headquarters armor and win in one fell swoop...
"Great God! When the peasants and soldiers of the Kazuto clan finish their farming and mobilize and gather, our tribe will no longer be able to easily gnaw them down! It seems that the strongest time for the Kazuto clan is after the autumn harvest in October.
…And the chief doesn’t want to set up camp on the big island of Maoxili, and indeed he is still afraid of Heren…”
Seeing the peasants and soldiers supporting Kazuto pouring into the mountain camp like a school of fish, the deer and rabbits had no intention of staying any longer and hurriedly returned north to report. Meanwhile, Uyizaki Yoshihiro had a long and solemn talk with the supporting family elder Masanobu Atsuya.
One night.
The next day, Atsutani Masanobu looked solemn, took a group of warriors, and a golden talisman in his arms, and hurried south to report back to Takeda Nobuhiro of Katsuyamakan in person.
For the next half month, messengers kept coming and going from the village of Hanhama in the north, to the camp at the foot of Mount Ezo Fuji in the middle, to Katsuyamakan in the south, like birds flying in early summer.
It wasn't until the bright summer day of August enveloped the fields of Kazutoji that the second Uyizaki army, which went north to support, took many of the family's dwarf packhorses and headed to the northern mountains to "Beiko Santao".
There are also hundreds of young men and women recruited from various museums, a small group of craftsmen recruited from Songqian, and it is said that they are used as military logistics, sufficient iron tools, rice wine, poultry, and even two cows...
At this time, the news of the "Shan Tao invasion" had spread from the Oyezaki clan to all the halls, causing panic in the whole country. The seriously ill Lord Nobuhiro personally came to sit in the town, met with the guards of each hall, and comforted everyone.
At the same time, he also formally ordered to send his own men to strictly block the road to the north, and made a clear promise.
"My eldest son, Uyizaki Yoshihiro, is personally sitting on the front line in the north, fighting a bloody battle with the invading Shantaru! Before he dies in battle, no Shantaru tribe will be allowed to go south and plunder the land!..."
"Each museum continues to be busy with farming. In addition to recruiting manpower, this year's autumn harvest must not be delayed!..."
The legendary Duke Xinguang came forward, and the entire Kazuto land quickly settled down. This is the power of prestige, the power that can convince people! And with the Kagome people's conviction and compliance, the second batch of troops who went north to support,
We finally arrived at the Uyizaki clan camp at the foot of Mount Ezo Fuji.
Next, there is the first formal "transaction" between the "Santari Tribe" and the Oyizaki Clan. And the divine power of gold will finally release the golden light that changes the course of history among the tribes in Northeast Asia...
