After the battle in Miaotun, Zhixiu organized people to quickly put the prisoners on trial - if it was not done as soon as possible, would these 16 bandits still be kept for the New Year? Because the evidence was conclusive, these people were all convicted of war crimes, and then paid for the atrocities with their lives

paid the price.

During this period, the execution office really did nothing. After a few of the most notorious thugs were sentenced to death, these people dragged the remaining Lucians into the water. After this group of bandits arrived at the mouth of the Wulong River,

Almost all bad things have been done, and absolutely no one is innocent.

While the prisoners are being judged, everyone is busy with the new mission - the evacuation.

There are more than 900 He philosophers in Woidetun, and there are nearly 200 residents of Miaotun and those rescued from the black jail of the outpost. Plus the soldiers and sailors of the execution station, the total is more than 1,300 people. It takes so many people to

There are only five ships to transport them, so the difficulty is not that high.

In fact, it is not a big problem to move slowly, but the key is not to move slowly.

It is June 26th of the Western calendar now. The North Sea will be navigable in July, so the supply ships and warships of the Lucians will arrive as early as mid-July and as late as early August. And the fastest way from Miaotun to Baizhu is

The round trip of the clipper ship takes about 7 days, and the slower Benzai ship may take 20 days or more.

The five ships could only transport about 400 people at a time, so they might have to face the Lucian navy head-on this time, which was not in line with the original plan.

Plans are not as fast as changes.

The original plan of the execution office was to defeat the Lucians before the end of June and then evacuate them all at once.

As for tribal relocation, originally only the residents of Woidetun were considered, and it was to help them move upstream and send them by boat for a day or two. Even if someone was willing to follow them back to Baizhu, it would only be for the old people in Miaotun.

If you are young, you can manage with a hundred people crammed into it. If there are more people, you can consider evacuating in stages - first send the people to the southern coastal area, and then slowly transport them to Bai Zhu.

Anyway, the Lucians could arrive at Miaotun for supplies in mid-July at the earliest. According to the original plan, this time window was still acceptable, but now the number of people has more than tripled than expected. Of course, it is a mess.

Don't say anything else, and quickly start the shipment and diversion.

Starting from the next day, Shirochumaru first went south to establish a temporary stronghold, and other ships returned to Woidetun to start transporting people. Naohide ordered: except for food and ordnance, all supplies can be dispensed with.

Before the war, the leader Zalasi was left behind to guard the supplies. In order to repay him and the Woidetun people for their support, they were given priority in this retreat, but Zalasi had to stay to assist the group in diverting the crowd.

All the family members of the chiefs who were originally detained by the Lucians were also released together. Naohide's original intention was to give these chiefs one more choice - there is no good in retreating with the execution center. You don't know where you will go or how you will live in the future.

There is no guarantee, so just run upstream along the river and escape for your life.

In the past, it took a lot of effort to recruit people. Guangzhong introduced that each person was given three taels of gold, and they also promised to provide food, accommodation and other conditions and a bright future. But this time it was the other way around. Most of the Hezhe people did not care about it.

No matter what, you have to retreat with the monastery or sell yourself.

The Lucians had done a lot of harm to them, and Naohsiu and the others had defeated the extremely vicious Lucians. They obviously had thicker thighs, and the military discipline of the group was maintained very well. These people felt that it would not be a mistake to go with Naohide and the others.

.

As soon as the Woidetun people began to evacuate, this impression was immediately deepened.

, saying that the future is uncertain, then why are Zalasi’s people rushing to get on the ship?

No matter how Zalaxi explains, why Woidetun is a battlefield and this is the primary target of revenge for the Lucians, no one will believe it. We still don’t know the virtues of the Lucians. Does the battlefield have to be retaliated? Whoever stays

I can't even survive. Brother Zalasi, you can't forget your roots. You and I are one family from our ancestors. No matter what, you have to help arrange for everyone to get on the ship.

The more they explained, the more confused they became. By this time, the ship had already left. Naohide ordered that anyone willing to retreat with the ship should go to Miaotun by land. As a result, most people were willing to go to Miaotun, and only a small tribe was willing to go up the river.

Naoxiu was overjoyed and gave this small tribe of less than a hundred people five horses and a lot of supplies, hoping to take the lead in dividing the tribe. "Go up the river. I heard that the upper reaches not only have more prey but also produce gold. I lied to you."

not human."

Maybe because they were given too much stuff, this small tribe broke into internal strife before they left Woidetun. The leader was beaten to a bloody head, and the remaining people unanimously said, "We don't want the stuff anymore, we just want to go with you."

."What a cheater.

Not everyone is willing to leave, and some people are reluctant to leave their homeland and plan to stay here. But this is not a trick. Everyone knows the virtues of the Lucians, so Naoxiu had no choice but to announce that he would leave the entire tribe and stay here.

All the people in the villages were left behind, but these people could not be left to be harmed by bandits anyway. The Hezhe people had a strong tribal concept, and the final result was that the majority defeated the minority, and everyone followed Zhixiu and the others.

At this point, there is nothing left to imagine. We walked, we all walked, the group established a foothold on the way, and everyone rushed to Miaotun, helping the old and the young. The journey was very hard, the road was wild, and there were many people on both sides.

There are also black bears, wolves and other wild animals in the mountains and forests. Fortunately, there are many people migrating, and there is no big trouble with mutual help. Moreover, more than 50 tall horses were captured in the last battle of Woidetun.

My son helped transport the supplies, which saved a lot of effort.

At the same time, the wounded and some old and young people can also take a boat to Miaotun - the big boat is gone, but there are still some canoes. The Hezhe people are very familiar with fishing and hunting, and Miaotun is not far away, so it is not a big problem to go down the river.

Naohide was afraid of trouble, so he divided the crowd into several groups and set off one after another. It was not until July 2 that the last group of people arrived at Miaotun. By this time, the fleet had already transported several groups of people - in order to maximize effectiveness, Nakahama Manjiro took the ship

The team was split up, some were walking fast, some were walking slowly, but they couldn't stop, and they were going to die.

After saving for almost two years, the execution office only had six ships in total, Shirozumaru, 2 battleships, and 3 Benzai ships. What Okubo went to Edo to take away were battleships - because the battleships were smaller in tonnage than the Benzai ships, this was also

Such a strange thing could only happen under the "Prohibition Order on the Construction of Large Ships" issued by the shogunate. The load capacity of warships could not exceed 500 koku, but Benzai ships with more than 1,000 koku could be built because of a special order.

Anyway, the Fuso battleship couldn't defeat the Western gunboat, so Naohide would rather take the Benzai ship northward, which would allow it to have more things.

Among these ships, the Benzai ship was the slowest and the Shirojumaru was the fastest, so Manjiro sailed them separately in order to obtain the maximum benefit.

In addition, there is a group of people who played an unexpected role here.

After the Qianwu people took refuge with Naohsiu, they have been serving as slaves of the Yui family. This time when they went north, Naohsiu specially brought all the soldiers and sailors with him. The original intention was to let these guys submit their names and stop thinking about running away all day long.

Such people. But this group of people are all veterans of the secret trade in Qianwu. Not only are they quite familiar with the sea conditions in the northern part of the Whale Sea, but they are also good at it.

There are quite a lot of sailors. With the help of these people, except for clipper ships, other ships can sail day and night - if the moon is brighter.

June 29th of the Western calendar is the 15th day of the Chinese lunar calendar. At the same time, the plum rain season of Fuso comes with the Pacific monsoon heading north. It will take until August to reach the northern part of the Whale Sea. This time, Zhixiu was just unlucky. He considered it.

Monsoon and plum rain, but I really didn’t take into account the changes of the moon.

Under the threat of the Lucian people's reputation, the ship's bowmen and watermen worked hard to transport. The Hezhe people also cooperated very well and honestly carried their belongings and boarded the ship in an orderly manner. By July 5th, the tenth day after the Battle of Miaotun

, not only sent away more than 1,100 Hezhe and half of the soldiers, but also some supplies were also transported away.

This result was something that Naohide, Manjiro, and everyone did not expect. Naohide originally thought that it would be good to transport the people away before July 10, but now he is completely relieved.

On July 9, except Yongning Temple, Naohide burned down the temple and took everyone away. When the two teams stationed at the winter camp at Jiangkou boarded the boat, everyone cheered loudly, "Wan Sheng! Wan Victory! Wan Sheng!"

Victory!" - After leaving the river mouth, the safety is greatly improved. How could the Lucian warship find us so easily in the vast sea!

The temporary stronghold is about 200 kilometers south of the river mouth. Naohide took the Shirozu Maru and left first. It took half a hundred miles to travel. Next, we had to organize everyone to evacuate from the temporary stronghold to Mooka, and then withdraw Shirozu from Moka. This thousand

It is not an easy task for many people to eat horse chews.

It was not until the end of July that most of the personnel evacuated to Mooka, but transportation continued, but by this time Naohide had brought half of the team back to Shirozu to prepare for the war. Although the value of people is immeasurable, in the cruel 19

Century, if you don’t make a choice, reality will make the decision for you.

Moka is better. Naohide left the 3-inch rifled cannon in Moka. Besides, even if they can't defeat them, everyone can flee inland. The most dangerous thing now is the navy and the soldiers who stayed in the temporary stronghold. If they encounter the Lucians,

For a gunboat, the only thing you can do is to escape - except for the Shirozu Maru, other sea ships basically cannot escape. If you can hit the beach, your life is good.

When Manjiro Nakahama, the chief of the navy, was saying goodbye to Naohide, he whispered to Naohide, "Big ship! White must build a big ship!" Naohide was silent about this, and the two exchanged weapons and parted in tears.

The date when Naohide returned to Bai Zhu was a few days later than the original date. Eiko and everyone who stayed behind were very worried. After Naohide returned, he did not bother to comfort Eiko. After getting off the ship, he immediately announced that Bai Zhu had closed the port and all outsiders left immediately.

During the time Naohide left, merchant ships from Saga and Satsuma had already arrived and replenished the White Lord with some grain, coal and other supplies - but they basically returned with empty ships, and October was the big time for both parties.

Trading hours.

After the collapse of the money house, no new merchants came to visit the White House. Except for the original few merchants, only the warships of the Matsumae family came to visit. In the absence of Okubo, Eiko and the leaders of each group took the decision. Everyone said, "Your Majesty, go out to investigate."

The ship was refused entry to the port on the grounds that it would not be accepted. Afterwards, the Matsumae family's ship continued eastward, probably to find Seal Island.

By the beginning of August, Okubo, who had gone to Edo, still had not returned, and the Lucian gunboats did not appear, but the rice ships entered the port as promised - two steam-sail hybrid merchant ships, two whalers and two steam river warships.
