Chapter One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirteen 'Golden Light' protects the body, and 'Buddha Dharma' is profound!
"Young Master! This is a letter from the head of the family to you, please tell me that only you can read it!..."
"Ah! Father Xin Guanggong's letter...good! I received it..."
With the arrival of the second batch of troops, the mountain camp was already overcrowded, filled with two hundred samurai, three hundred peasant soldiers, and more than one hundred young men and craftsmen. Uyizaki Yoshihiro deliberately divided the reinforcements into two teams.
The supporting three hundred peasant soldiers continued to strengthen the camp outside and did not let them run around idle. As for the more than one hundred young men and craftsmen, they were guarded by a group of warriors alone. They were provided with enough food every day, but
Don't let them have contact with the outside world.
It wasn't until Yoshihiro Uizaki had arranged all this that he became a little nervous. He took out the letter from his father, Nobuhiro Takeda, and opened it, as if he had received a piece of judgment document.
"My son, there is no need to panic! The inheritance of the Oyizaki clan will eventually be handed over to you after my death..."
Takeda Nobuhiro seemed to have read through his son's thoughts. In the first line of the letter home, he made it clear that the inheritance rights would remain unchanged. Uyizaki Yoshihiro relaxed all over and took a long breath. Then he swallowed again and continued.
look.
Takeda Nobhiro's letter is very short, and there is not much content in what follows. There are only four key arrangements, but each sentence goes straight to the point. It is obvious that he was not fooled by the "gold" his son brought back, but looked at the entire Japan and Japan.
The overall situation of people and land has been carefully arranged.
"Yiguang, this Shantao tribe values craftsmen the most, livestock and poultry second, and wealth last... The reason is worth exploring and thinking about."
"Use the Matsumae craftsman I brought with me to replace the Kudo clan elder. The clan elder is an important minister of the family and we must not make any mistakes. This is the first priority."
"Use horses, cattle and poultry to exchange for the captured dynasty cavalry. The cavalry has been trained for a long time, and they are the backbone of the family's retainers. They need to do their best to preserve them. This is the second thing."
"Exchange farmers and their remaining property for a batch of gold. Once the gold is turned into goods, redeem the remaining warriors. This is the third thing."
"Finally, your trip to the north this time is the 'Beiko Shantao'. Although there was a slight setback, you were able to keep the enemy out of the land of Kazuto by heading north, and you were able to raid eastward and defeat the 'Shantao allies'. In the end, you brought back the harvest
, so that the famous name will not be lost and everyone will be convinced. This is the fourth thing, which is the follow-up arrangement."
"After everything is done, return home quickly and don't stay outside. For the Tatar trade in the north, choose reliable people and conduct it secretly..."
"After reading the letter, burn it. People in the Tang Dynasty said, 'After death, everything will be in vain, and family sacrifices will be made without forgetting to tell the old man.' I am not going to die soon. Please burn this letter to me in advance!~"
After reading the last line, Uyizaki Yoshihiro was shaken all over, with all kinds of emotions surging in his heart. He sat in a daze for a while, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, put his father's letter on the table, and kowtowed it respectfully.
He read it twice. Then, instead of burning the letter, he picked up the letter again and read it carefully. This time, he focused his eyes and looked at the "fourth thing" his father ordered, savoring the statement.
Factual imperative mood.
"Surprise to the east and bring back the harvest?...To the east, to capture the harvest?...Ah! This is it? So that's it!"
Yoshihiro Uyizaki pondered for a long time, and finally had an enlightenment and figured out his father's arrangement. He now has five hundred troops on hand. And the Nishihara clan has a bunch of small tribes with hundreds of people, just one or two hundred miles to the east.
outside.
The original plan of the family was to surrender Hokuyu, win over Nishihara, and balance Ishikari, so that the Ainu clan in the north would fight among themselves. But now, the Ishikari clan has suffered a lot of casualties, and the Hokuyu clan has grown stronger, and is even overpowering it.
One of the Ishikari clan…
It's time for the various tribes in the Saihara that are in conflict with Ishikari to make a surprise attack! After all, with so many troops gathered together, they can't just turn around and go back without gaining anything. If he can't defeat the Shantao armored soldiers, why can't he defeat the loose soldiers?
Is it the Ezo tribe? And if you fight eastward, wipe out a few small Nishihara tribes and then leave, you are not afraid of the Shantao tribe going south to intervene. The opponent is separated by the Ishikari tribe and there is no way...
As long as he redeems the Kudo clan elders and goes back with new military exploits, plus what his father has prepared for him, the so-called "bloody battle to expel the Yamata", then everything will become clear again, and he suddenly becomes cheerful!…
"Buddha! My father's Dharma cultivation is indeed much deeper than mine! With just one click on this messy situation, he immediately made it clearer!..."
Uyizaki Yoshihiro sighed deeply, deeply feeling the gap between him and his father's political skills. Then he put Takeda Nobuhiro's letter on the lamp and lit it. Soon, a faint green smoke, with the smell of mulberry trees, filled the tent.
Diffuse.
"Well, what does this smell like? It's Echizen Japanese paper, made of mulberry bark. It has excellent texture, is insect-proof and tough. Except for the relatively high cost, it's almost the best paper!…"
"I don't know, do these Shanta people in the north need craftsmen who make paper? Do they need craftsmen who plant mulberry and raise silkworms? Do they need people who grow linen and weave? Do they need people who weave bamboo and split bamboo strips? If they want all of these, then they are some years old.
We can also find big old farmers and give them to them as craftsmen..."
"It's not true that the Shantao people even lack these craftsmen, do they even need these people? Forget it, let's ask when the time comes. If we can sell them at a higher price, it will be much easier to find these people.
Already!…”
The burned Japanese paper turned into curls of green smoke, scattered into the sky above the tent, and flew into the evening sun. Under the illumination of the setting sun, Uyizaki Yoshihiro lowered his head and thought. His complicated thoughts were slowly colored
A layer of golden light.
After all, in his thirties and forties, in the prime of life, he has too much desire in his heart, and he is still far from his father's cultivation! He doesn't know what he will do in the "Golden Light" after he succeeds as the head of the Uyizaki family.
Under the temptation, where will the Uyizaki family be led?…
Soon, the time and place of the first trade was agreed upon between the Shantaru tribe and the Oyizaki clan. Five days later, in addition to the trading men, both sides brought a hundred warriors, eighty miles southwest of Hanhama.
, eighty miles northwest of Uyizaki camp, meeting at the westward mouth of the Shiribetsu River.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This plain at the mouth of the Shiribetsu River is nominally the territory of the Hokuyu clan, and the water plants are also very luxuriant. From here, you can paddle all the way south to the southern Oizaki clan.
Katsuyamakan is only a 400-mile sea route, or even only takes five days! However, due to the threat from Kazuto, there are no large Ezo tribes here. Wherever you look, there are patches of reeds and long grass everywhere.
If the kingdom is strong enough and has enough mutual trust with the Japanese, it can consider establishing a trading port here. This would be like the Dutch opening a port in Hirado in the Japanese nation a hundred years later! It's a pity that now
…
"These greedy and cunning Kazuto! They agreed to only bring a hundred samurai, but they actually brought two hundred? And they all wore armor!"
On the Kingdom's Snow Wolf, Zuvalo opened one eye and used the one-meter-long "divine eyepiece" to carefully observe the Kazuto team in the south. He first estimated the number of people on the other side, and found that there were at least two hundred people in full armor.
The armed Kazuto samurai, and more than a hundred unarmed young men carrying a large amount of supplies, well, they should be farmers used for trading. As for the other party's craftsmen, they seem to be mixed in among the farmers, and their identities cannot be identified.
"One, two, three...ten...fifteen?...Are they all mares?..."
Then, Zuvaro moved the miraculous eyepiece and counted the horses in the Kazuto team, including the three Kazuto leaders who were riding horses. Except for the three horses of the Kazuto leaders, the other horses seemed to be very short and smaller than those captured before.
Those are shorter and look like reindeer.
And these carriage horses are also carrying various goods, which are piled high. Those fluttering in the bamboo cages seem to be the legendary "poultry"? I don't know which one is the "chicken" in His Majesty's mouth.
Which ones are "duck" and "goose"?
"Hey! There are two strange, extremely strong four-legged beasts with long horns on their heads! Ah! They are even bigger than horses, almost the same as bears! ... Hiss! They look so ferocious, with such long horns,
The body is so huge! Could it be that this is the kind of docile "buffalo" that His Majesty calls "buffalo" that can be used for farming?..."
Zuvarro's eyes widened, and he felt sincere fear for the buffalo he saw for the first time in his life. He had also seen the northern "buffalo" raised by the kingdom, which were really wild and ferocious, and the running of the terrifying "four"
"Big footed beast"!
Although these "buffalo" are smaller in size, their horns are obviously much longer than those of "cattle". I don't know how such a long-horned "beast" can be so tame in human hands, and can even be pulled obediently.
What about plowing and planting?
"Not bad! Goods, livestock and people... It seems that the other party is quite trustworthy! At least, they have made two preparations!..."
Zuvaro observed it for a long time with the magic eyepiece, and even saw clearly the wary and careful expression on the face of the warrior opposite, and then nodded with satisfaction. It was only then that Yoshihiro Uyizaki, who was riding on the pony, could see clearly.
He saw the Shantao tribe on the opposite side. He stared wide-eyed, looking at the three large ships half leaning on the seashore, and the looming Shantao warriors on the boat, who didn't know there were one or two hundred Shantao warriors. He cursed with anger and fear.
.
"Asshole! What a cunning Shantar people! They actually sailed three big ships, and I don't know how many people were hidden under the decks. They came fully armed to trade with us!..."
"What a bastard! How could these ignorant and savage mountain Tat tribes have such long ships? It's really hard to understand! They stood on the side of the ship, protected by wooden planks. If they shot arrows at the approaching warriors, what should we do?
How to resist?…”
"Buddha's blessing! The whole army is on alert! Move forward carefully, at least four arrows away from the big ship on the seashore!..."
"Please ask the chief of the Shantao tribe to disembark! We are two stone's throw away from the seaside. We each send people out to exchange prisoners and manpower in batches, and exchange gold and goods bit by bit!..."
