Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty-Five: The Great Voyage to Northeast Asia, North and North!
"The Lord God bless you! A total of about two hundred acres of potato fields have been planted in Shenhuatai Port. Kazuto's craftsmen have also arranged work in the port. I can finally take the fleet north to see the Maha Division.
My uncle-in-law A Gu was beaten! A full seven or eight months have passed, and he should have gathered one or two hundred fish-skin warriors, right?"
Huatai Island in June is the time of spring. Lush potato fields have been cultivated on the north side of the port. Although there are only two hundred acres, those potato seedlings sprouting with pointed heads symbolize some kind of new hope.
.On the south side of the port, the Ainu fishing boats are like pointed lotus leaves, extending into many strange shapes. Some boats have a small sail added, some throw out new fishing nets, and some have been reinforced.
These are the changes brought about by craftsmen.
Those "clinking" workshops are all built on the east side of the port. In addition to blacksmith shops and carpenter shops, there are also leather shops, tailor shops, bamboo craft shops, as well as car-making sheds and charcoal-burning sheds.
Field, brick-burning kiln, and two pottery kilns under construction.
Of course, the port camp is still in a state of tribal division of labor. The entire Shenhuatai Port is a large tribe of seven to eight hundred people. The number of craftsmen plus apprentices is a full seven or eighty. There is no goods in the port
In buying and selling, food and supplies are distributed per person. The tribe manages the rations of the craftsmen, the chiefs arrange the tasks, and the craftsmen work honestly and teach the apprentices.
As for the west side of the port, there is a large area of livestock land. Twenty or thirty cattle and more than fifty horses have enclosed hundreds of acres of pasture. Water buffalo and horses are both large animals, one is equivalent to six or seven sheep.
, there must be a large area of pasture land.
Among them, buffaloes eat one to two hundred kilograms of fresh grass a day. In addition to eating and pulling, the cow dung they pull out can be dried as fuel or used to fatten potato fields. As for horses, what they eat is similar to that of cattle, but the dung pulled out by horses is
Horse manure is sour and cannot be used as fertilizer by burning the land. It takes a long time for the compost to decompose. These horses are simply kept near the swamp, as far away from the potato fields as possible.
Behind the cattle and horse pens is the pen for chickens, ducks and geese. Among them, chickens are the least picky about food and breed the fastest, while ducks and geese are raised by the pond, both raised by Kazuto farmers. After this winter, three species
Many poultry were frozen to death. I ate all Zuwaro chickens, ducks and geese. I felt that only the chicken was delicious. The other two were either fishy or woody, almost the same as turkeys. But to be honest, these poultry are indeed better than turkeys.
It grows much faster and is more suitable for transportation back to the kingdom for breeding...
"Great Chief! Here! Xiao Mandahan's kidneys, freshly roasted!... The female chief said that you are not going to be able to do well at night, so you have to make up for it!..."
“…!”
Zuwaro was inspecting the livestock field when he saw the tiger slave carrying the roasted roe deer on his shoulders and running over happily.
The spring grass is fat and tender, and the deer, roe deer and wolves on Huatai Island are all scurrying around. The Jurchen tribe and the mountain deer tribe of Kamchatka all like to go hunting when nothing happens. According to tribal traditions, in spring
The female animals are spared and only the male animals are hunted. The best parts of a male animal are dedicated to the chief, such as the deer's waist and the roe deer's waist...
"Hmm... The meat of this little roe deer is red and thick, and it tastes quite fragrant and not that fishy. This roe deer is enough to eat for several days... How come you went out to hunt and hunted so many little roe deers?
return?…"
"Haha! Chief, little Nandahan is so silly! You shoot a few arrows to make some noise, and wait for a while, it will run over and poke its head around. But this guy can run very fast. If
They got frightened and went into the forest. Even if there were dogs, they couldn't catch them... If the local tribes didn't use traps, it would be difficult to hunt them. We have to take action and kill them with a heavy arrow!..."
The tiger slave was very proud and showed off his archery skills in hunting deer. Then he handed over the skewer of roasted kidneys and said to Zuwaro.
"Great Chief, why do you only eat meat and not the kidneys? It's just what the female chief ordered..."
"Ahem!...I have eaten it. Tiger slave, don't always be Tihenu, I am your chief!..."
Zuvarro coughed lightly, his face a little uncomfortable. Thinking of facing the tigress at night, he was really scared. When he came back from Kazuto this time, he was shocked to find that the snow could no longer be used after it melted.
In the sleigh, Mahahenu, who could ride a horse, finally got better, defeated Msona in the hunt, became a "real tigress", and became the only eldest wife among his wives!
Then, the Mahahe daughter magnanimously restrained all of Zuvalo's wives. She monopolized Zuvalo's big tent, and forcibly stipulated that three days out of ten days, Zuvalo must be alone with her. So far, Zuvalo must be alone with her.
, Zuvalo's original happy life turned into a mixture of pain and happiness, and he gradually became unable to do what he wanted...
"Hunu, where is Henu? She went hunting again?"
"No, the chief and the female chief have gathered together Chief Sona and your three little wives. They are practicing archery at the shooting range. Well, you can see it in that direction after passing through the forest!..."
"..."
Zuwaro touched his nose and was speechless. The northern tribe warriors in the port only recognized the strong "Henu" and "Sona" as female chiefs, but the three Ainu wives did not receive this treatment.
More often than not, they are the spokespersons of the Ainu tribesmen, and are inextricably linked to the tribes of the North. As for the tribesmen of Kazuto, they currently have little say in the upper echelons of the tribe. While they are actively moving closer to the temple priests, they are changing
He believed and took refuge; at the same time, he surrounded himself with several important masters and competed for apprenticeships.
To sum up, the three very different tribal groups in Shenhua Taigang were put together in this way to form a Huatai tribe of fishing, hunting, farming and animal husbandry. It is necessary to completely integrate the three tribal groups with different origins.
To become one, we can only rely on the deep faith in the Lord God and the concept of uniting people...
Of course, in addition to these, integration through tribal war is also a feasible way. But the objects that the kingdom can attack...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Before leaving the island of Maoshili, I took the chiefs of the Northern Yu tribe and the chiefs of the Ishikari tribe to meet and talk! The six tribes were defeated by the Ishikari tribe.
The conquered Hokuyu tribe, totaling more than 2,000 people, were all converted back to the Hokuyu clan. Together with the "Rumei coal mine land", it was also shared by the Hokuyu and Ishikari clans, as well as the sand iron ore that the Ishikari clan regularly paid tribute and traded.
…”
Zuwaro touched his bare chin and recalled the peace talks between the two Ainu clans more than half a month ago, which was initiated and led by the kingdom and participated by more than 20 chiefs, big and small.
Facing the powerful "Hokuyu Chishima Tribe" who defeated Kazuto, the Ishikari clan finally bowed their heads and gave in after more than half a year of waiting and watching.
They not only returned several Hokuyu tribes, but also gave up half of the territory of the "Rumeo Coal Mine" along the coast. The so-called "Rumeo" in the Ainu language means "river with gentle tides", "river with gentle tides" and "seaside".
"River Mouth" is located between the Hokuyu Hanhama and Hannuma tribes. Therefore, several Ainu tribes that returned to Hokuyu here are also called the "Hokuyu River Tribe".
The acquisition of the "Rumei" open-pit black stone coal mine belt is very important to the kingdom's foothold in the north! As long as the excavation of coal mines is expanded, the kingdom's fuel problem for winter in the north can be greatly solved. Therefore, Zuwaro specially cooperated with the Beiyu River Department
Several chiefs solemnly pledged their blood to form an alliance!
The "Beiyu Qiandao Tribe" provides protection, trades weapons and equipment, and sends warriors to train tribal militia. The Beiyu River Tribes, while fishing to feed the tribes, are also responsible for digging coal and then trading it to the kingdom's ships for transportation.
.
The surrounding Ishikari tribe can also bring the mined coal and trade with the kingdom's ships in exchange for food, salt and iron pots. As for the iron spears, iron knives, iron axes and bows and arrows that the Ishikari tribe cherishes, they need to collect them.
The sand iron ore on the territory is then traded to the kingdom's ships to obtain it.
On the entire island of Moshili, the open-pit placer mines are very scattered and small in scale, making them labor-intensive to collect. However, there are a lot of placer mines, especially in the hinterland occupied by the Ishikari tribe, where there are at least eight or nine small mines.
Point. This distribution of scattered shallow small mines is the main feature of Hokkaido iron ore. Although it cannot meet the needs of the industrial era, in this era, it is enough...
Soon, the first batch of "Hokkaido sand iron ore" was "supplied" by the Ishikari tribe, and the quality seemed to be very high. Its color was not red, but some kind of dull black gray. Broken arms
After looking at it, the master craftsman Tetsuda Soyoshi nodded in surprise. He said, "This iron material is extremely hard, very hard, no worse than Izumo iron material." "It takes a lot of effort to burn, and it is more difficult to burn than ordinary iron."
This kind of good iron will surely produce high-quality jade steel!"
"Blessed by the Lord God! The two clans divided their territories, shared coal fields, and traded sand and iron...Through the threat of force, the manpower of the Hoyu and Ishikari tribes were mobilized for the use of the kingdom, and a new order on the island of Moshili was gradually established!"
Thinking of the situation of the five tribes on the island of Maoshili, Zuwaro thought for a long time. With the kingdom's current military force, it can indeed lead the allies of the remaining tribes in the north to defeat the Ishikari tribe with a population of tens of thousands. But with the kingdom's small number of people in the north, he thought
It is simply impossible to occupy the Ishikari tribe's vast territory of hundreds of miles and annex these tribes in one fell swoop!
What's more, the Uyizaki clan in the south and the Ishikari clan had a former alliance and many contacts with the Ishikari clan. If the Ishikari clan is really pushed into a hurry, they will all turn to Kazuto and become Kazuto's vassal...
Should we continue to take action at that time? How will people react? Will it break the current balance? But it is difficult to predict and the risks are unknown.
Therefore, "promoting the reconciliation between the Hokuyu clan and the Ishikari clan, exchanging coal, stone, and iron ore through trade, and in the mutual benefit of the Ainu tribes, constantly sending priests to preach, and gradually telling a story of bonding people together", it became
Zuvalo’s best choice after careful consideration!
"This is the concept taught by His Majesty at Sunway University: 'War is to serve politics. And the purpose of politics is always to establish a stable new order and thereby dominate the distribution of interests'... The situation on the island of Mausili is...
Let’s arrange it like this first, waiting for time and the kingdom’s strength to accumulate... and everything is ready at Huatai Port, it’s time to continue heading north!..."
Thinking of this, Zuvalo was very excited and patted the tiger slave on the shoulder. The tiger slave blinked his eyes, gnawed on the roe deer leg in his hand, and carried a whole roe deer meat on his other shoulder. His heart was filled with happiness.
And when two days passed, Zuvalo patted the tiger slave's armored shoulder again, and the entire roe deer disappeared. In its place, there was a thick, long, and extremely heavy mace!
"God bless you! Raise the sails and paddle, and set off to the north!..."
"Go north! To the entrance of the river, Sahaliyan ula!"
"Go north! Go to the Maha tribe's camp, Nuergan Temple Street! (miyoo ga?an)"
"The Lord God bless you! Go north, then north!..."
The three galleys raised their oars, and they were loaded with heavy rice. There were more than a hundred sailors and soldiers in the boat. Tungusic songs sounded, accompanied by Nahua prayers, and they went to the abandoned place among the white mountains and black waters.
The end of civilization, the barbaric tribal frontier!~~
