"O Great Bodhisattva Hachiman! Stop! Stop the warriors and fleet! Form a defensive formation!..."
"Misunderstanding! There must be some misunderstanding... We sent an envoy to explain our purpose and show our goodwill to Chief Shantao!...!"
"Where are the gifts? Xiang Erlang, bring those three robes! Yes, send them all, including my robe! Only precious silk robes can be worthy of such a powerful Shantao chief!...
"
As the sun rose into the sky, the two armies formed a defensive formation across the Shiribetsu River at the mouth of the river. Such a major gold trade involved a huge amount of goods. Both sides
And there is not enough mutual trust and restraint, so we have to pull out the military force and put on a war formation every time we trade.
Five large Japanese ships were moored in southern Sichuan. Each ship had six or seven Tendai Sect monk soldiers holding Japanese bows, as well as some short-fighting sailors holding rattan bows. And more than two hundred Oyezaki warriors were right next to the Japanese ships.
, formed a gun array under the protection of archers, and were nervously guarding the other side of the river.
The army of "Great Chief Shantao" was arrayed in northern Sichuan. Three galleys were lined up in a row, and there were also a row of armored archers on them. The warrior spear array, the hunters dispersed, and the heavy armored vanguard all adjusted their directions.
Facing the opposite side of the river and the direction of the human army formation.
As for the largest number of Ainu tribe soldiers, due to the formation time being too long, they gradually changed from a circular formation to a scattered formation, and their voices became noisy. A dozen or so Kingdom warriors leading the team scolded and whipped canes.
Continue to keep the tribal soldiers disciplined. As long as they survive the training in this actual combat situation, the combat level of these tribal soldiers will increase dramatically. And if they can get blood on their hands and win one or two battles, then
It is possible to transform and grow into a "samurai"!
"Witness the Lord God! Kazuto doesn't seem to be planning to attack?... They just have more fleets and archers, and the number of warriors seems to be the same as last time?... This battle is probably not going to be fought. With this strength, it is not enough for us."
The samurai captain Tamicao looked at it for a moment, feeling the "aura" of the opposing military formation. The other side put on a defensive posture, and the samurai's face was full of vigilance, with no murderous intention to charge. It seemed that this was indeed the case.
It's a team coming for trade. And the goods for trade should be at...
"The Lord God gave me divine eyes! These five Japanese ships, with pointed noses and square tails, are a bit like dolphins chasing the fleet on the sea... They look very flexible, very good!..."
Zuvarro took the "divine eyepiece" and spotted Kazuto's five large ships at a glance. He went up and down, carefully looking at the shapes of those large ships. The single-masted wide sail was erected, and the flat-bottomed
With its pointed nose, square tail, and rows of oars on both sides, it looks like a good boat!
"Witness the Lord God! Will Heren sell these big ships? Otherwise, grab two of them first, and then throw the gold to them? ... By the way! Which family of Heren does this five-color flag represent?
Tribe? How many Dingkou do they have, and how many warriors can they produce?"
Zuvarro squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the situation on the boat. On each boat, there were several monk soldiers with their heads covered, wearing trousers and black and white robes. The Japanese bows in the hands of these people were particularly large.
It seems to be very powerful, and there is a long "long knife" behind it.
"Huh? The one wearing brightly colored clothes and a black gauze hat looks very eye-catching. He seems to be the leader of a large tribe on the ship?"
Zuvalo's sharp eyes stayed on Morino Kiyo for a long time. Morino Kiyo also looked over, looking at the Shantao chief who was holding a strange long pipe, wearing a feather crown, and wearing armor.
"Buddha! What exactly is the long pipe of Chief Shantao? Is it a firearm that Yuan Kou can shoot very far in the legend? But I have never heard of such a small firearm. Could it be that it belongs to the Golden Clan of Yuan Kou?
My secret?...No, come two people and stand in front of me!..."
"By the way, Xiang Erlang! Go to the other side in person! Give that Shantao Chief my gift!..."
"Yes! The owner of the house..."
Faced with the legendary man-eating evil spirit Genko, Matsushita Sojiro, who had always been bold and calm, could not help but stutter. Later, accompanied by an Ezo guide and a Yabashi horse samurai, he looked nervous
, slowly approaching the military formation on the opposite side.
"Trade! The same trade as last time! No war! Goods for gold!… Rice, wine, tea, salt, cattle, horses, weapons, armor, craftsmen… This time there are a lot of goods! A little trade! For gold!…"
The Ezo guide shouted loudly and told the purpose of the messenger's visit. The Yabama warrior held the reins and was always paying attention to the movements of the heavy-armored archers and heavy-armored cavalry! As an experienced samurai, he could clearly detect the most dangerous direction.
Where did it come from? And once the opponent draws his bow and arrows, or rides his horse to charge, he will immediately pick up Shojiro, abandon the Ezo guide, hit the horse, turn around and leave!
"Buddha bless you! This is a gift for the respected, powerful Chief Shantao! We are businessmen from Miwu, Kyoto, and we have brought a lot of goods... The gifts are all in the box, and there is a letter handwritten by the owner of the house,
And a cargo list!…”
A kingdom warrior came forward with an ax in hand and exchanged questions with the Ezo guide for a while. Then, he took the exquisite wooden box handed over by Shojiro, opened it and checked it before returning to the military formation.
Soon, the wooden box was in the hands of Zuvalo. He put down the "magic goggles" and looked at Morino Kiyoshi on the opposite boat. He walked out of the guard, smiled and saluted him, pointed to the wooden box, and then
He retreated behind the guard again.
"Ha! He's an interesting leader of Japan! Could it be that he is not the chief of the tribe of Japan, but some noble or priest?..."
Seeing Morino Kiyoshi so vigilant and dressed in fine clothes without holding a sword, Zuvaro was thoughtful. He opened the gift box with a deep thought, and first saw a letter with square characters. He read it twice carefully.
He recognized some of the words on it and some didn't. Others knew the words, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand what they meant...

"...Your Excellency Fu Wei attaches equal importance to moral character and prestige, and is convinced of everything he does. You are of noble origin, inherit the golden seedlings, and are famous all over the world... We are waiting for you.
The merchants came from Omi, Kyoto, worshiped the Tendai sect and temples, and took goods from all over for sale..."
"Despicable people, with humble status and limited knowledge, cannot be compared with the illustrious nobles... I only wish to use the products of various countries to be shipped to the northern Ezo region to help your ministry's grand plans..."
"This is the first time I have met with you, and I present you with a small gift... Three pieces of silk clothing, all of which are the finest products from the mountain city... Attached is the cargo list, with pictures and texts... I am willing to do my best to do business with you, and beg for mutual benefit, and share the goodness of gold!...
"
"What the fuck! I clearly recognize these words, but what do they say when they are put together?!..."
Zuvarro read it for the third time, and couldn't help but imitate Hu Nu and uttered a curse word. He roughly understood half of it. These five large ships with five-color flags flying and the monk archers on them all belong to Uyizaki Hikaru.
The "big businessman in Kyoto" mentioned widely seems to have something to do with the temple.
And this "big businessman in Kyoto" brought five ships of goods this time. He wanted to trade with him and get some gold to spend back. Then, as a courtesy to the first meeting, the other party also gave him a gift, "Three
"A silk dress"?
"Silk clothing? What is it?..."
Zuvaro's eyes widened, and he picked up the first silk dress and looked at it. It was a blue "straight dress" in the Tang style. It was an aristocratic dress passed down from the Heian period. It was loose in style, simple and elegant, and obviously
It is a reference to the tuan-collar robe of the Tang Dynasty. On the surface of this straight robe, there are "cloud pattern" and "Tang grass pattern" embroidered. The former represents the gods and nobility, and the latter represents the earth and nature.
"Huh? This dress is pretty good-looking!...My God! This smooth feel is so thin and light?! How can mysterious patterns be embroidered on such a thin dress?...It's this color, so blue,
Not auspicious! It’s like a sacrifice of Mayan blue..."
Zuvalo looked at it for a long time, unable to take his eyes away. Tropical Mexicans also have no resistance to this kind of bright and light "costume", and they also love it! According to Zuvalo's aesthetics, it is best to
It would be perfect to add some "tassels"... no, "feathers", such as beautiful Chagar feathers, on this silk dress!
"Ahem...let me see what the second one looks like!..."
Zuvarro carefully placed the first piece, and took out the second silk dress to check. This second piece was a "hunting coat" worn by nobles for hunting, with the same Tang style, simple and elegant. It was originally a reference to the Tang Dynasty
The narrow-sleeved robe has narrow sleeves, which is convenient for outdoor activities. And this "hunting robe" is light green, with a flying "phoenix bird" engraved on the front. Zuvalo liked it at first sight because it was tighter than the previous one.
The last one was more to his liking!
"O God! Such a delicate bird? God bless you! It's such an auspicious and wonderful dress! ... And it's the same light green as the jungle, the same color as the grass and trees... It's beautiful, it's really beautiful!..."
For the second silk dress, Zuvallo couldn't put it down and fumbled around for a while before reluctantly putting it back in the box.
Of course, he didn't know that in the aristocratic culture of the Republic of China, dark blue usually represents higher-level nobles, while light green is worn by lower-level young nobles. As for the most noble nobles, they wear purple costumes...
"God bless you! Let me see what this third piece looks like!..."
Soon, Zuvalo couldn't wait and took out the third and last silk dress. He unfolded it and looked at it for a while, then the smile on his face froze, leaving only deep doubts, unable to touch the tiger slave.
mind.
"Lord God, open my eyes! What kind of clothes is this? It doesn't feel right. Why does it look like a sacrificial robe? And it has such strange lines?..."
Zuvarro's eyes widened and he looked at the last piece of Chinese clothing unfolded in his hands. The right side of the Chinese clothing was yellow and the left side was red, with patches of "Fields of Fortune" painted on them. In the fields of Fortune were exquisite vertical patterns of lotus flowers... This was suddenly a "cassock"
