Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred and Five: Long Sword Tiger Slave, Shenhua Taigang!
"call!…"
The candle lit up, lighting up a corner of the dream. The bonfire crackled, and the firelight warmed the spring tent. Zuvarro held the candle and opened the heavy felt tent. The flames turned into heavy snow and fell all over Huada Island.
“Ouch!…”
Samoyeds and birch dogs howled in the camp, seemingly disturbed by some movement, and there were bursts of war horses neighing. The women's voices sounded from the felt tent, very soft, with three different tones. Zu
Varro smiled and turned around to let the women continue to sleep, but they were still helped to put on furs and cloaks by a few pairs of gentle hands.
"Zu, do you want us to accompany you?..."
"No need. I'll inspect the camp and you can continue to sleep."
"Then, let's make some trout and mountain vegetable soup (Ohaw)? Let's heat it up on the campfire, waiting for you to come back."
"Hmm...ok!"
Zuwaro nodded, then said goodbye to the three Ainu wives, and walked into the vast Shenhuatai Port. This port is located at the innermost part of Aniva Bay, with a large river to the north that connects the entire
In the southern part of the big island, the narrow valley that is most suitable for living is where the largest city on the island, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, will be located.
To put it simply, there is a river in the north of Shenhua Taigang, a bay in the south, hills to the east and west, and a large swamp to the west. In Zuwaro’s plan, the north of the camp is suitable for cultivating large potato fields, and all the way inward
The land valley extends. And the south is naturally a port and fishing ground. It is best to establish a small shipbuilding yard.
The swamp in the west is difficult to develop, so it is reserved as a hunting ground for the tribe, and a large area of horse breeding land is enclosed, as well as a cowshed for raising cattle, and a pen for raising chickens, ducks and geese. By the way, a school ground for warrior training will also be arranged here.
The hills to the east are the expected workshop area. A blacksmith shop and a carpentry workshop have been built. Next, pottery workshops, lacquerware workshops, bamboo workshops... these large and small workshops will also be built.
A more stable camp high up.
Therefore, the population arrangement of the camp generally follows these plans. More than a hundred Kazuto farmers live in the north of the camp. In the newly built underground huts, they cannot escape even if they want to. Well, I ate a few
After Yue was full of food and could even eat meat from time to time, they actually had no idea of escaping.
More than 300 Ainu tribesmen, including more than 100 Ishikari captives who surrendered and joined, built rows of tribal huts and lived in the south near the port and fishing boats, responsible for various kinds of work and fishing. Forty
Several Jurchen tribes live in the west of the camp and hunt and make leather every day. The one hundred and fifty kingdom headquarters, including kingdom warriors, deer hunters, and mountain hunters, all live in the center of the camp, and let the dozen or so important
The people and craftsmen all live under their noses.
There is no doubt that according to the tradition of the kingdom, there must be a temple of the main god in the center of a large town, and a large central square will be set aside. The simple warehouse caves on both sides of the square will gradually be built into brick and stone warehouses.
.The most important of them are the armory for storing weapons and the barn for storing food.
"Blessed by the Lord God! Now this is just an empty camp, but there will definitely be a real big city in the future! The southernmost port of this big island will become the kingdom's most important foothold on the West Sea Continent, guarding the entire Huada Tower.
island!…"
Looking around the snow-covered camp, Zuvalo felt infinite pride in his heart. He planned it so carefully because he wanted to run this Shenhua Port as the most important core of the kingdom on the West Sea Continent!
There are no major tribal threats around this Shenhua port, and it is close to the Ainu allies, Kazuto tribes, and forest tribes. It is suitable for north-south trade. There is also a large island hinterland full of potential... and here
In comparison, the big ice island in the north (Kamchatka Peninsula) is really too cold, too remote and barren!
"It's only March now, and the freeze here will last until April... Well, the freeze period is a month shorter than that around the ice and snow island, and it is indeed much warmer! Since the potatoes brought by the kingdom can survive on the ice and snow island,
A small amount of planting on the island should be possible here! In the spring of April and May, we will have to plant seeds quickly. I don’t know what level these rice farmers and farmers are at growing potatoes?…”
Zuvarro walked to the river in the north, kicked away the thick snow, and saw the dark land. He had never seen this kind of black soil, but it did look very fertile. Even the long grass here
, all grow extremely densely and are especially loved by horses!…
"Speaking of which, there are currently five Jurchen horses in the camp, six castrated war horses that captured the Japanese and Japanese, and twelve pregnant Japanese mares... They must be patiently taken care of by the horse breeders, and the horses must be reproduced smoothly.
Herd!... And that pair of mated buffaloes, I heard they can give birth in ten months, but they can only give birth to one at a time... They still reproduce too slowly, so we must get a few more cows this year!..."
After looking at the riverside land to the north, Zuwaro walked to the horse farm to the west. Raising horses is hard work. More than ten pregnant mares live alone in another horse pen. The horses are raised by Kazuto.
One family, with more than a dozen Ainu apprentices, took care of them day and night. The warriors of the Jurchen tribe were leaning against the faces of the Jurchen stallions, comforting the four neighing and violent horses... Wait! Four?!
"Tiger slave! Where is another horse?! Why is the most majestic war horse missing?..."
After hearing Jurchen's question, Hu Nu stood up, revealing a huge body of over 1.9 meters and more than 200 kilograms. He lowered his head and looked down at Zuvalo. He felt that his posture was not quite right, so he squatted down again.
Come down and be on the same level as Zuvallo.
"Chief... the female chief and her daughter just rode away the big horse! She brought a bow and a falcon, and wanted to compete with the female chief Sona in hunting to see who is more brave! The female chief Sona also brought the
With bows, there are four big dogs and sleds...The four white dogs are very big, which makes the stallions very wary, a little impatient and neighing..."
"What?! Henu wants to compete with Sona in hunting? How about hunting on horseback in such thick snow? Why doesn't she use a sled?..."
"The chief... the chief female chief and her daughter said that the big dogs in the camp were all trained by the female chief Sona, and she doesn't need to!... She wants to train the dogs by herself. Before they are trained, she will ride a horse!..."
"...This competitive and fierce woman!..."
Zuwaro was sweating on his forehead and was speechless for a moment. Henu and Sona were both brave huntresses. One came from the Maha tribe of Zhenzhen, and the other came from the mountain tribe of Kamchatka. They were both his "wings"
", but this pair of "wings" are too strong. Anyone can easily hang him up and beat him, truly "hang him up and beat him".
After arriving at the camp in Huataigang, the two women competed for the position of "boss" and the title of "number one tigress". They competed from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, but there was no clear winner. Moreover, both of them were in the same position.
Not willing to live in the same tent with each other, they both moved out and each of them lived in a separate tent, which immediately made Zuvarro feel much more relaxed.
Mahahenu is an expert in horseback riding and hunting, while Msona is an expert in dog training and hunting. The two have similar shooting skills, but it is obvious that Henu is stronger and can shoot a heavy bow of 130 to 40 pounds, while
Sona can only open 112 pounds. As for Zuvallo, well, he usually doesn't participate in competitions...
But when it comes to hunting, Sona, with the help of hunting dogs, is better than Henu. After all, human sense of smell cannot be compared with that of dogs. But Henu obviously does not believe in this evil and insists on hunting.
After beating Sona once, I often ran out...
"Lord God! Is this even necessary? How can a tiger compare to the two of them... Hey! Both of them are tigresses, so we have to distinguish one from the other..."
Zuwaro cursed in his heart, but did not say it in front of the tiger slaves. He Nu was brave and capable of fighting, and she was of the same race. Her status in the hearts of these Jurchen warriors was probably higher than that of him at the moment.
If he said a few words, he might fall into the ears of the girl at night. Then, the woman would definitely come over aggressively, drive the gentle shell, white cedar, and Qingquan out of the tent together, and ride on him all night
…hiss!…
"God bless you! Don't let any tiger come out and hurt my wife..."
After thinking for a long time, Zuvalo sighed, lowered his head and prayed for a while. Then, he looked at the majestic tiger slave, patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile.
"Let's go! Tiger slave! Follow me to the blacksmith shop on the east side! In the past few days, Tetsuke has made a few big knives... just pick one for you! He always carries a long-handled stone hammer, even though it's hard to beat
It’s exciting, but it doesn’t look impressive in any way!…”
"Chief, give me a big knife? How big is it? Can it kill a tiger with one sword?"
The tiger slave blinked and asked with some confusion. Due to the lack of iron materials, the maiden tribe rarely used broadswords. Instead, they used various kinds of bones, and stone hammers were more common. They were not easy to break, and if they were broken, they were easy to replace.
new.
"Haha! An ordinary long knife is about half as long as you! There is also a big long knife with a long handle, which is as long as you, nearly two meters long, and only you can swing it!..."
"Witness the Lord God! Tiger slave, if you carry this kind of long sword on your back, I will equip you with three layers of heavy armor... That kind of amazing power, the fierce and invincible sweep of the long sword... Wait until spring starts in two months, and then fight with the people in the south
Trading with others will definitely make them look up in awe and not dare to have other thoughts! Hahaha!..."
