Chapter 1,317 I know a secret, a big secret that shocked the Ming Dynasty!…
"God bless you! My brother Kazuto, since you have brought craftsmen and livestock, although not as much as the conditions require, I still recognize you as a brother! ...For the sake of our brotherhood, your age
Old man, I will hand it back to you!…”
With a smile on his face, Zuvalo looked at Mitsuhiro Uyizaki's respectful expression and the solemn expression on the face of the other Wazuto man, and roughly guessed the political significance of the captured old man to the Wazuto tribe.
Just like the priests and elders of the kingdom, if they fall into the hands of other tribes alive, they must be redeemed no matter what for the glory of the Lord God and the reputation of the kingdom! I guess this political dynamic is also the same as that of the Heren tribe.
The fundamental reason why so much wealth, livestock, and people could be gathered so quickly at one time, and so many warriors were intimidated!
Fortunately, it had been almost a month. He had already had many conversations with the literate old man, and he had already asked all the questions that needed to be asked...
Thinking of this, Zuwaro waved his hand. The two kingdom warriors supported Kudo Shigeyasu, the elder of the Uyizaki family, off the Snow Wolf, and then returned to Kazuto's team.
"Ah! Mr. Kudo! You are finally back! Seeing you safe and sound is like a bird flying in spring, bringing auspicious omen of blessing! What a happy day!..."
"Young Master Guangguang... this time, I have made my family lose face and suffered the humiliation of defeat. It is all the responsibility of the veteran! I am really... really shameless. Go back to see Mr. Xin Guang..."
"This... Kudo family elder, my father has written a letter, please be sure to protect yourself and go back to see him! My father also said that although there is a small setback this time, we can conquer Shantao in the north and attack Ezo in the east... we can still keep our family's prestige.
, convince everyone!…So, the matter is not serious to that extent. On the contrary, the Tatar trade opened up by this battle will benefit our family a lot!…”
"Xin Guanggong's arrangement...I will definitely comply with it! I will definitely shoulder the responsibility for the defeat!"
Kudo Shigeyasu's face was full of shame and he bowed heavily. He looked good, his hand was wrapped with a bandage to treat the injury, and he walked quite neatly. It was true that he had not been treated harshly by the Shantar people. But after apologizing to the young master, he announced that he was
After taking overall responsibility for the defeat, Kudo Shigeyasu opened his mouth, but was obviously hesitant to speak. He turned his head, looked at the mysterious "Santara Ship" on the seaside, and then went to count the horses in person to check whether they were of childbearing age.
Zuvalo, the mare, lowered his voice and spoke softly.
"This time around the Shantar trade, the origins of these Shantar people, and the shocking secrets they carry... I have been among the Shantar people for a long time, and I have already noticed it!"
"Ah? Mr. Kudo! Have you really discovered something?"
"good!"
Kudo Shigeyasu nodded heavily, his expression extremely serious. Atsutani Masanobu couldn't help but be curious and came to the side. Kinoshichiro wanted to listen, but was glared at by Mitsuhiro Uyizaki, so he could only take two steps back dejectedly, to help his family.
They are on alert.
"Witness the Buddha! These so-called Shantar people, their leader can actually speak strange Chinese, and can have a written conversation with me!..."
"Ah! Weird Chinese? Written conversation?..."
"That's right! In Chinese, they not only asked about some situations in their own country, but also asked me emphatically about the situation in Ming and Korea!"
"Ah! Are they concerned about the situation in Ming and Korea?..."
"That's right! They have three smoking firearms, all made of bronze. They are the kind I have never seen before, not even in the entire Kanto!..."
"Ah! That kind of devil's thunder firearm?..."
"That's right! They still have a lot of gold, but they don't seem to care about gold! There are many brave mountain warriors with gold talismans around their necks!..."
"Ah! A lot of gold! Ahem...Old man, we already know this..."
"Well, listen to me! I even asked around the corner...if they were an 'ancient tribe with a golden heritage'?...They actually answered me that they were 'descendants of the gods, the bloodline of the sun and sky'.
The ancestral inheritance of birds landing on trees'! They and these northern Shanta tribes were one family thousands of years ago!..."
At this moment, Kudo Shigeyasu was solemn and restrained the unparalleled excitement in his heart. The astonishing extent of his knowledge of this secret would not only shock the entire country of Japan and countless Shantao tribes, but even North Korea and the other side of the sea...shock everything in the outside world.
, Mingguo has always been indifferent!
And this secret is now in his hands, in the hands of the Oyezaki family! Of course, this will also be of great help to maintain his own reputation. As the patriarch who brought back the shocking secret, he only needs to prove that this is right.
The valuable secret of the Oyizaki family really exists... Then his capture this time is not only without any fault, but also a great achievement of getting into the tiger's den!
"Young Master! All the secrets are in their gold and their golden talismans! The 'flying bird' on that golden talisman is the emblem and god they worship. It is the most authentic proof of their identity and origin.
A true testimony! In fact, that is not a "flying bird", but a "flying eagle" holding a snake in its mouth, a flying "condor"! And with the "condor" as its emblem, it can pass down so much gold
Yes, then there is only..."
"Ahem! Young Master, the chief of the Shantao people..."
Kinoshichiro coughed slightly, and the three Kazuto leaders immediately fell silent. Kudo Shigeyasu quietly pointed to the direction, indicating that he would go back to his home. Mitsuhiro Uizaki nodded, saying that this should be the case. Only Masanobu Atsutani touched it.
The nose is as curious as a hundred claws scratching the heart, but it doesn't show on the face.
Then, the three of them put on respectful smiles at the same time and looked at Zuvalo, whose face was full of spring breeze.
"Haha! My brother Kazuto! The twelve mares are indeed of the breeding age that can produce ponies! Very good, really good! Although they are all a little shorter, twelve mares at a time,
It’s really good!…”
Zuwaro couldn't help but smile when he thought about the increased reproduction rate of the horses after the twelve mares were transported back to the Great Whale Island. No, he already had a Jurchen stallion that could be used for breeding, plus ten more
For two mares that can give birth, you only need to transport the horses back to the Far North Peninsula, and then you can start breeding them! However, you still need to get a few more horse breeders from Kazuto who can take care of the horses... Well, there are also horse breeders who can raise them.
The cattlemen of those two "buffalo beasts"!
Zuvaro pondered for a while, looked at the three Japanese leaders, and then said to the warrior leader Tammy.
"Bring me three more gold talismans! I want to give them to my Kazuto friends! Thank you for their kindness in sending horses, including the Jurchen horse before!..."
"Ah this! My Shantao brother! This? What are you?...Ah, thank you for the big Jurchen horse I gave you?...No, I...hope I will bring more mares next time?...Uh...my family's
There are really not many mares left. How about another golden talisman?...That...Brother Shan Tao, I will try my best!"
Mitsuhiro Uizaki held the heavy piece of gold and didn't know what to say for a moment. He had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was actually a little moved! Another four pieces of heavy gold amulet, another three hundred and sixty koku of rice... But the Uyizaki family was really
There are not many horses left in China, and there are not many good horses in the whole country...
"My brother! In fact, you can use the gold talisman to exchange for the ironware and wine produced by our family, and go to the Shantao tribe in the west to exchange for a real good horse! ... If you have some scruples and don't want to reveal your identity. That's right.
You can let me do it for you, and the horses you get back will be divided into accounts..."
"O Lord God? Use iron tools and wine to exchange for horses with the Shantao tribe? Are you worried? What are you worried about? Oh, it seems that the translation is wrong..."
"That's right! Those small and loose mountain tribes, like the Yamabe and the Shikabe, don't value gold much, but value the practical iron tools and wine produced by Kazuto. Therefore, I still have to use gold from Kazuto.
Only by purchasing supplies can we go to the west to trade with the Shantar people! This transit through Kazuto is indispensable no matter what! Only through Kazuto can the gold in our hands turn into truly valuable materials and craftsmen!…
"
After this trade, Zuwaro has gained some understanding. In the kingdom's West Sea trade, the Kazuto clan, which collects the kingdom's gold and provides goods and manpower, is a crucial link that cannot be avoided no matter what. And
The kingdom's trading base has reached this point, and I'm afraid it has come to an end!
It is estimated that for a long time, it will be difficult for the kingdom to accumulate enough strength to continue going south, to the doorsteps of the huge tribes in the south, to carry out "huge risks", "unequal strength", and "sending numbers"
"A hundred pounds of gold comes to your door", a dangerous trade that "is likely to lead to no return".
Unless those large southern tribes heard the news and took the initiative to come to the door by boat. They went to the kingdom's port to conduct "equal strength" gold trade, exchanging goods and craftsmen for gold...
"Forget it! Witness the Lord God! Since Kazuto's trade channel has been opened... let's let the Kazuto clan serve as a transit! No matter how violent the southern hurricane is, it will be weakened to the point where it can be tolerated if it hits this far northern coast..."
"With the current strength of the kingdom, what we can really do is to keep dropping gold on the upper reaches of the river. Just drop more, more gold! ... This golden river will find its own way out! Maybe
, it can flow all the way to the west, to the 'North Korea' predicted by His Majesty, to the 'Ming Empire' that is said to be extremely powerful, and then bring back everything we hope for!..."
The setting sun set over the Western Sea, and the golden light dyed through the red clouds. Zuwaro looked to the west leisurely, while the Kazuto leaders looked at him with smiles. At this moment, it seemed that there was really a golden river connecting the "mountains" in the north.
"Tare" and "Heren" connected the island of Mausili, and finally crossed thousands of miles of waves until they reached the empire at sunset...
