Chapter 1,323 Huatai River Mouth, Amur River, Heilongjiang!
The golden sunset illuminates the golden sea, and the golden coast converges with the golden river from south to north. On the lower reaches of the river, the golden light of the twenty-four gold talismans aroused the hearts of the young master and the family elders.
.And more shining gold charms were piled into a heavy pile, firmly pressed on the bilge of the Snow Wolf, and sailed to the north of the Ezo coast.
At this moment, Takeda Nobuhiro, who was in meditation, did not know, let alone see this golden dream. Even if his son Mitsuhiro Uizaki could increase his cultivation and break through the confusion of dozens of kilograms of gold... he could be regarded as hundreds of
Thousands of kilograms of gold came from the upper reaches of the river! Even he may not be able to practice concentration and gain wisdom from this terrible temptation of precious light. How can his son Guang Guang, who is in his thirties, be able to practice and resist?…
Of course, Zuwaro also had no idea at this moment. Due to the gold he leaked, the kingdom had been covered with a brand new "Golden Clan" vest by Kazuto of Ezochi, which exceeded his expectations. And this
If the vestments of the "Golden Clan" were spread, it would not only shock the shogunate, but also touch the "sleeping giant" across the sea, touch the increasingly closed empire, and touch the nerves of the Ming Dynasty!
Regarding the numerous overseas barbarians, the Ming Dynasty has always closed its eyes and is unwilling to take a direct look at it. They will not easily communicate with the "barbarians", let alone conduct any equal official trade with the overseas "barbarians"!
In order to open up trade channels with the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese in later generations directly triggered the "Battle of Tuen Mun". Later, they were deeply involved in the "Battle of Shuangyu" and were repeatedly attacked by the Ming army... It took half a century.
, they opened up the Macao commercial port on the border of the empire by bribing local officials.
For the Ming Dynasty after the Tumubao Incident, the "tribute" dispute that triggered the Oala uprising was a Achilles' heel that could not be touched. Anyone who touched it would leave unpredictable political risks!
Only the fifteen "non-conquest countries" in Taizu's "Huang Ming Ancestors" are the Chinese vassals that can communicate. Only the sixty-five "tributary countries" accepted by Chengzu are the tributes that can be accepted by the Ming Dynasty official
Objects. And other "barbarians" are almost impossible to be accepted by the Ming Dynasty court and the Ming Dynasty officials!
As for not being on the tribute list and not being accepted by Ming officials, the result is that they do not receive any political protection. When it comes to the fate of the Ming army and official forces, they are not so optimistic... They will inevitably encounter the same predicament as the Portuguese!
But something that can touch the nerves of the empire, rise to the political level of the court, and cause Ming Dynasty, the "sleeping giant", to open his eyes and take a look, or even take the initiative to reach out and touch it... That is the only thing that the empire has always attached great importance to since its establishment.
The great enemy of life and death, the Mongolian tribes in the north...
"Haha! Numa, my brother who believes in the power of thunder, my close brother-in-law! ... Please lend me a group of small boats and sailors to help me transport these Kazuto farmers and these prisoners of the Ishikari tribe to Hua in the north.
Tai, shipped to the Huatai port we decided on before!…”
"Ah! The power of the sea and thunder! Zu, my brother-in-law! You actually led your tribe south and plundered Kazuto's clan?...Here, you actually captured so many Kazuto prisoners? What about Kazuto's clan?
reaction?!…"
"Haha! Don't worry! I didn't lead the tribe south to plunder Heren's land... These human supplies were sent by Heren's Chongshan tribe themselves. They sent them to trade with us for the gold they desire!... They will
If I block this news myself, no Kazuto samurai will go north again to attack the Beiyu clan..."
"Ah! That's good, that's good... It's enough to be able to expel Kazuto. There's no need to go south and actively provoke them... God's blessing! We are the Ainu of peace and goodwill, protected by the peace and goodwill of God!
The rice god of Kazuto can never cross the line!…”
"...The Lord God bless you! Don't worry, Marsh! The Lord God has the power of the ocean and thunder. As long as you devoutly believe in Him, He will bless and protect you!... Well, let's talk about it again, Huatai South is about to establish
, our Thousand Island Tribe’s new port!”
Sailing five to six hundred miles north from the Hokuyukanhama Department in central Ezo, you will reach the sharp point of the northwest tip of Ezo, where the Hokuyukanuma Department is located. At this moment, three long ships from the Kingdom, loaded with the harvest from the south, are waiting for you.
Carrying a bag full of Kazuto's cargo and cargo, he anchored at the port of Hannumabu.
And further north from the Northern Yuhannuma Department, as long as you cross the Soya Strait, which is a hundred miles away, you will reach what the Ainu people call "Kata", "the Kamui territory at the mouth of the river", and later Sakhalin Island. This is only a hundred miles away by sea.
, even with an Ainu fishing boat, it only takes two days to arrive.
Therefore, the Beiyu Hannuma tribe is very familiar with the southern part of Huatai Island. There are also some small clans inherited from Beiyu there, and they have been intermarrying and communicating with the Hannuma tribe. It can be said that they are half local snakes.
"Don't worry! Zu! The south of the Huatai Peninsula is a very deep bay. And the deepest part of the bay, with coasts on both sides to resist the wind and waves, is the most suitable place to establish a tribe! There is a small tribe of one or two hundred people in that area.
, have been intermarrying with our northern tribe...zu! Just bring people first, live in their camp, and accept their tribe!..."
"Accept the tribe? You mean annexing... Good! Very good! The Beiyu clan is all one family, and it's time to unite into one! ...Numa, time is running out! We have to set off early to establish a stable state before the winter of October comes.
The winter camp can accommodate everyone!…”
"God's blessing! No problem! Our Beiyu Hanmarsh tribe will do our best to support you and let the Qiandao tribe's camp be built! From now on, the two Beiyu tribes with the same heritage and connected by blood can be separated by Qian Qian
Straits, support each other at any time...Zu! I will mobilize the tribe's manpower and supplies, and I will set off with you in three days!..."
"Okay! Numa! We got a lot of iron weapons from this trade with Kazuto, especially the rich iron spears. We can leave some of them to you to strengthen your strength! By the way, I will leave two more tribesmen,
Come and help you train the warriors of your tribe! Just like the manpower left behind in the Hanbin tribe before... the main god of thunder is blessing you. He is the god of war in charge of battle! As long as you devoutly believe in him, your organization and combat skills will be successful.
Huge improvement, like a short-horned elk turning into a long-horned reindeer!…”
"Help us train our warriors? Great, great! Zu, the soldiers of the Cold Swamp Department should be like you, able to form some sort of 'gun formation' like a hedgehog, it looks very powerful! ... Zu,
After your training, can we, the warriors of the Cold Marsh Division, defeat Kazuto's samurai? How long will this training take?..."
"Uh...defeat Kazuto's samurai?...Well...as long as you train for the first half of a year, your tribal warriors will be able to defeat Kazuto's samurai...the organized peasant soldiers...will definitely overwhelm the Ishikari clan!..."
The busy August just faded away in the waves. And when September came to late September, the Kingdom's third port on the West Sea Continent, Shenhua Taigang, also took a rough shape and could accommodate hundreds of people.
, spent the winter in dens and shacks. The location of this port was in Korsakov (N47°, E143°), the second largest city on Sakhalin Island in later generations.
The sea was rough, and two long boats were docked in the calm Nanhuatai Bay. The simple camp was on a small slope by the sea. Hundreds of Ainu fishing boats were busy fishing on the seaside. They didn't even need to go out to sea.
, as long as you set up a fishing net by the small river, you can harvest a steady stream of plump catches. Because the most grand autumn salmon fishing season has begun!
When the "Salmon Festival" celebrated by the Ainu tribes was about to come, Zuwaro was not in the camp. He had already taken the kingdom's flagship, the Snow Wolf, all the way north along the coastline on the west side of Huatai.
We finally arrived at the legendary "Huatai River Mouth" and arrived at the territory of the Nivkh Dog Tribe!
With the help of the local Ainu guide, and after several relatively smooth exchanges, Zuwaro was stunned and heard an unexpected news. At this moment, he looked at a man in disbelief.
The old man from the Dog Department looked at the opponent's gestures and pointed to the depths of the upper reaches of the river.
"Lord God! What are you talking about? Many years ago, there was a particularly powerful tribe from the south. They built a town and set up a trading market at the mouth of the upper reaches of the river? At that time,
, all the northern tribes, including the tribes of Sauron in the forest, obeyed their orders and paid tribute to them... Well, it was more about trade? Trading the useful goods they brought from the south?..."
"But later, they left, and the town and market were abandoned... In the end, only an abandoned temple was left, just upstream of the river?...Ah! Where is the temple? How far away?...Oh! No!
It’s far away, only eight or nine days of rowing?…”
"Praise the Lord God! This iron ax is a gift from our tribe to you! Please serve as a guide and take us to have a look! We will provide you with wine and food along the way, yes, hot wine! ... Yes
!Go and take a look, take a look at the temple of the big tribe in the south! See what gods they worship and what mysterious appearance they have!..."
At the edge of the continuous forest at the mouth of the Huatai River, the leader of the Nivkh Dog Tribe thought for a moment, grasped the iron ax brought to him, and nodded slowly. Then, he led his two Khitan fine dogs,
Saying goodbye to the tribesmen who hunted by the river, I boarded a big boat that I had never been on before.
Then, his finger pointed at the broad river, a river that leads nowhere in the endless forests and swamps... And this long, mighty, turbulent river coming from the east is what the Jurchens call "Saharian Ula"
, is the "Amur" in the mouths of the Tungus tribes, the "Huntong River" in the Ming Dynasty, and the "Heilongjiang" in the history of the Liao Dynasty!
