Chapter 100 The Shachuan Clan and the Matsumae Domain
Chapter 100 Shachuan tribe and Matsumae vassal
Although the dough steamed buns were delicious, they did not cause any greater surprises from the Ainu people. They would occasionally exchange some food from the Kuyefeiyakans. Although the amount was not large, they had seen it after all.
Compared to the soft and glutinous steamed buns, these four people were more interested in iron tools and bows and arrows. Zhao Xin saw it and became calculating in his heart.
It seems that the conflict between these Ainu people and Matsumaki Bamboo is getting deeper and deeper. He recalled the "Ainu Bee" that broke out five years later because a wood merchant withdrew the reward, which triggered the Ainu riot that had been resentful for many years. However, in order to quell the riot, the cunning Matsumaki Bamboo first agreed to the Ainu conditions, and immediately turned against others afterwards. When the Ainu people woke up, there was no danger to defend. Matsumaki Bamboo took the opportunity to brutally suppress and shot all the rebels to death.
The riot ended with the blood of the Ainu people flowing into a river. The Tokugawa shogunate was worried about the cruel rule of the Matsumae vassal over the Essential land, fearing that the Ainu people would take advantage of the Tsarist Russians' invasion of the south, which also accelerated the development of the Essential land.
After eating four steamed buns, the Ainu people turned around and walked to the side of the Thor, and shouted a few words at the people on the three small boats below. After hearing this, the people on the boat turned around and rowed onto the shore.
Zhao Xin stared at the voracious natives in front of him, thinking that he must not have the business done before it was settled, but instead he was overwhelmed. He didn't dare to ask the sailor to bring water. After eating four steamed buns and drinking water, he might have stomach pierced.
He pulled Heita over and whispered to him: "Ask him what he is called, and then ask him where is this."
Heita nodded and agreed, then walked forward to the Ainu people in the lead and said, "My name is Heita, what do you call it?"
The man replied, "My name is Tuka."
“What is the name of this place?”
“otaornay.Shachuan.”
After hearing this, Zhao Xin muttered a few words back and forth, and realized that this was Otaru (Otaru, おた㋋otaru.)
At this time, he walked up to the Ainu people named Tuka in the island dialect and asked, "Do you have people from Matsumae's family here?"
"Do you know Matsuebaya?" The Tuka was surprised, then shook his head and said, "We don't have one here. But there are quite a few in Satporo."
Zhao Xin knew that the "Satporo" Tuka was Sapporo in later generations, so he nodded, then turned around and said to Liu Sheng and others: "It seems that Matsumae's claws have reached here. We have to help the locals cut off this claw, otherwise we will not be able to transport the coals on Yuzaka at all."
Before Liu Sheng and the others could answer, Zhao Xin turned to Tuka and asked, "Do you know where 'yuparo' is?"
Tuka frowned and said to Zhao Xin: "Hmm? Why do you even know 'yuparo'? That's not by the beach."
Zhao Xin smiled and explained: "We also heard from a businessman from the Sendai vassal."
"Yuparo" is the later generations of Xizhang. From the literal meaning of Ainu, it is "a place of springs"; and the location of the Ishisawa coal mine located near Xizhang is called "a curved river".
Well, Zhao Xin decided to name these two locations "North Quanzhou" and "North Qujiang" on his own map; as for Sapporo, it is literally called "Pingyuan City".
At this time, Liu Sheng and Deng Fei, who were curious about the birch bark clothes on Tuka, also came over. So with the help of Zhao Xin and Pingtai, they chatted with Tuka for a long time.
Zhao Xin took advantage of the chatting of several people and asked the sailors on the deck to go to the cabin to get a set of seized hornets (bow bags and quivers) and thirty plum blossom needle arrows.
After the sailor brought it, Zhao Xin held a bag full of arrows and said to Tuka: "Friend, this is a gift for you."
This is a set of turtles used by Qing soldiers. The surface is made of cowhide and decorated with copper carved patterns; the lining is covered with red velvet, and the edges of the bow bag and quiver are decorated with red and yellow colors.
Tuka looked at the set of grubs in Zhao Xin's hand, and his eyes were lit. He reached out and gently stroked the skin. When he saw the thirty long arrows in the quiver, he screamed in surprise.
"Iron Arrow!"
He carefully pulled out a plum blossom needle arrow, and looked at the red tail feathers and the shiny black arrows obsessedly.
Tuka's face was flushed and his breathing was short. He didn't expect that he would receive such a valuable gift.
Holding the gifts handed over by Zhao Xin in both hands, Tuka raised his face that was red from excitement and said loudly: "You have been the most noble friends of the Shachuan tribe from now on. The Shachuan tribe welcomes you to come here to sell goods at any time."
After saying that, he asked Zhao Xin again: "Your gift is too expensive. I decided to give you the most beautiful woman in the Shachuan tribe."
"Ah?!" Zhao Xin was panicked when he heard this. According to the standards of adult women in this era, Guanbao is another little girl.
Liu Sheng and others heard Zhao Xin’s “Ah” and asked quickly: “What’s wrong? What did you two say?”
Zhao Xin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm almost a nursery."
A few modern people immediately understood what Zhao Xin meant and laughed strangely.
Speaking of this, Liu Siting once emphasized in a meeting that you put away your dirty thoughts. If you want to find a wife, there are some who are suitable for age in the camp. If anyone dares to make other things, don’t blame her for being rude. At that time, Liu Siting said, and glared at Ding Guofeng a few times.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Ding Guofeng felt that he had been wrongly accused of death. He was just a flowery person, and he really didn't think about that. Even the young women in the camp are all sixteen or seventeen years old. And the long-term hard work makes these young girls look like they are in their thirties.
Zhao Xin also said at the meeting that we are living a collective life now, so even if we find a wife, I have no place to settle you. Let’s wait until the house is built before talking.
At this time, Tuka Hepingta looked at the four people in front of him and laughed strangely, and was a little confused for a moment.
Pingta didn't understand the memes in Liu Sheng and the others' words, and Tuka's red face gradually became something wrong at this time, and the beard on his lips began to tremble slightly.
"What are you talking about?" Tuka's face turned a little blue at this time. He felt that he was ridiculed by Zhao Xin and others.
When Zhao Xin and the others saw it, they quickly curled their smiles. He said to Tuka sincerely: "Friend, I thank you very much for your kindness. I didn't mean to mock you. But compared to beautiful women, I hope to get your permission to build a shop here in Shachuan so that you can exchange the supplies you need at any time."
Feeling the sincerity in Zhao Xin's tone, Tuka asked: "How big is the land do you want? Just go ashore with me, and you can choose a place yourself."
Zhao Xinxin said, "It's great!" He was about to ask again, but a sailor on the side of the ship shouted: "There are more than a dozen boats opposite. There seems to be warriors on it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few people chatting quickly came to the side of the boat and looked towards the other side of the coast.
Liu Sheng raised the telescope on his chest to look at it. He saw that except for a dozen small boats that were obviously dressed by Ainu people, there were four island warriors sitting on a small boat. The four warriors were all wearing hats and seemed to have swords on their waists.
Everyone waited for a while, and the boat gradually approached. Tuka, who was still holding something in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and then said unexpectedly: "Is this... the person from Matsumae's family?"
When Zhao Xin heard this, he felt alert. Didn’t Tuka just say that there were no people from the Matsumaki family here? What happened to these four samurai warriors suddenly appeared?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at Tuka.
At this time, Tuka's eyes met Zhao Xin. Looking at the questions in the other party's eyes, he quickly explained: "I don't know these four people."
"What should I do?" Ding Guofeng asked Zhao Xin.
"Everyone prepare, I think these warriors are not good," Zhao Xin said lightly.
Deng Fei turned his head and looked at the pile of things on the deck, and asked quickly: "Do you want to put this away?"
"No. I don't plan to let these people go back." Zhao Xin said in a cold tone.
When a few people heard it, they knew what he meant.
Ding Guofeng hurriedly wanted to run into the cabin, and Zhao Xin called him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Go and get the gun, aren't you going to let them go?"
Zhao Xin said lightly: "Let them come up first, and it's not too late to hear what these people say."
"You take this."
Liu Sheng threw the Marlin1894 in his hand to Ding Guofeng, and then pulled the pistol out from the outside of his thigh.
More than a dozen small boats covered with animal skins were parked around the gangway, but the Ainu people on the boat did not dare to approach the Thor, but stopped in a group and waited for the small boats that the four warriors were riding on.
The four samurai warriors from the Matsumaki family looked up at the tall hull in front of them, and were also secretly shocked. Compared with this ship, the Qianshi Ship of our family was like a small morning ship facing the Qianshi Ship.
After they tied the cables, they carefully climbed the ladder.
The four of them climbed onto the deck in fear and looked around. The tall snow-white boat building made them dizzy. After calming down, the four of them saw a tall man standing ten steps ahead.
The man's skin was very white, with two black round objects under his weird short hair covering his eyes. He was wearing a colorful short suit, and his hands were casually placed on his legs.
On the left side of the man stood an Ainu.
"Are you from Matsumae's family?" Zhao Xin, wearing sunglasses, greeted the four samurai first.
"We are the official officers under Shima's guard and Sapporo Purpose Office. Who are you?" A samurai gave a greeting to Zhao Xin.
"Haha~ The claws of the Songqian family have reached the Pingyuan City..." Zhao Xin said sarcastically.
"You are so rude! Apologize quickly!" a warrior shouted angrily.
"This is not a plain, this is the territory of the Shachuan tribe. What do the people from the Matsumae family come here?" asked Tuka, who was standing on one side.
"Who is yours?" the warrior looked at Tuka, wearing Ainu costume and asked strangely.
"I am the patriarch of the Shachuan tribe." Tuca Ann said.
