"Actually, you guessed it well. The women of my tribe hid here just to avoid being ruined by thieves." Ba Hai said with a hatred face. He poured all the rum that had not yet been diluted into his mouth and explained it angrily.

Among the original classification of the external tribes of the northeast walls in the Ming Dynasty, it was simply divided into Jianzhou Jurchens, Haixi Jurchens and East China Sea Jurchens. After Nurhaci's rise, he annexed the Jianzhou Jurchens and Haixi Jurchens, and large-scale attacks on various tribes of the East China Sea Jurchens, looting Dingkou and expanding the Eight Banners. A large number of Qilie and the Beishan Wildmen became cannon fodders of the Eight Banners, and integrated into the emerging nation of Manchuria within decades.

From the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens in the East China Sea did not gain the status of Jianzhou and Haixi tribes, mainly because the distance was too far and the tribute was not frequent. Although the Nurgandusi was established, it was just a garrison and never formed an effective rule, and was eventually taken advantage of by Nurhaci.

During the rise of the Qing Dynasty, the attitude towards the East China Sea Jurchens also changed a lot. In the Nurhaci era, the abduction of Dingkou from various Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea as cannon fodder was the main means of expanding the army. At that time, the Soren soldiers and the Yuskin Tartars in the army were the East China Sea Jurchens. However, when Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, the Qing Dynasty was established.

After the country, the situation changed. The Eight Banners nobles appeared. They needed not only Solon, who could fight, but also the coats that could farm and grazing for them. They expanded the conquests everywhere. The Mongolian tribes and North Korea became the main targets of the Qing Dynasty's attack. Just to capture North Korea, they kidnapped Dingkou for 500,000, making the Qing Dynasty give up the attack on the East China Sea Jurchens. The Ming Dynasty blocked the Qing Dynasty, forcing the Eight Banners to collect fur taxes from the East China Sea Jurchens to supplement their finances. Ginseng from the East China Sea Jurchens, and fur became the strategic resource of the Qing Dynasty.

When Huang Taiji became emperor, he entered the gates several times and obtained Dingkou every time. He had countless cattle, horses, money and grain. He even relaxed the squeezing of the East China Sea Juzhen. In addition to continuing to collect fur, he also exchanged salt and tea for fur. For tribes farther away and the Kuyi people on Sakhalin Island, the "Wulin" system was implemented. A place called Pulu Township a hundred miles upstream of Temple Street. Every year, Ningguta would send people there to collect the Kuyi tribes on Sakhalin Island and the downstream Solon tribe and the Qilimi tribe, each with a marten fur. The Qing officials would return to give python robes, cloth robes and other ready-made clothes.

The tribe where Bahai is located is located near Xingkai Lake, only 300 miles away from Ningguta, and is not within the scope of admiring Wulin. In order to overwhelm the dozen or so tribes near Xingkai Lake and to obtain more fur (the fur produced in Xingkai Lake is the best quality), before each time, they pass through Xingkai Lake, leaving some people behind, and beg for charming boats down the river, and then go to Pulu Township.

As conquerors, the Manchus obviously would not treat Qilie equally. It is ordinary to rob at will, and it is easy to rape or even rob the women of the tribe. When I was rewarding Wulin this year, Jiala Zhangjing, who led the team, took a fancy to Bahai's sister Buhe, and asked the Uzara tribe to offer ten virgins as dowry. Obviously, this is not something Bahai can accept, and Wulin is rewarded every year in June. Now it is the end of July. When Qing officials returned, Bahai could only let the young girls in the Buhe tribe hide in batches to avoid being hurt.

"Ba Hai, do you think that when Jiala Zhangjing of the Qing Dynasty did not see Bu He and the ten virgins he asked, he would give up?" Li Mingxun looked at Ba Hai who was drunk and asked seriously.

Bahai shook his head vigorously and said with hatred: "Of course not. Haita is a cruel executioner. When he was twelve years old, he attacked our tribe with his equally brutal father, forcing us to escape to a remote place thousands of miles away! But I will never hand over Buhe to him, and I can give my life for this!"

Then Ba Hai looked at the pregnant woman and said with a gentle look: "I already have a son, and he will avenge me in the future."

Lee Mingxun said lightly: "Yes, maybe Haita will kill you, maybe he will punish your tribe, just like he was when he was twelve years old!"

"The warriors of Uzara will never surrender. We will fight to the end!" Bahai said coldly, waving his fists.

Lee Mingxun said: "Since you are willing to give your life, why don't you take the initiative to attack, but sit and wait for death?"

Ba Hai lowered his head lonely and said, "There are four hundred people under Haita, all of which are elite soldiers with blue flags. Among them, 100 are white-armored soldiers. Although the Uzara tribe has eight hundred mouths, we only have soft bows, arrows and hard wooden spears, which are not their opponents at all. Over the years, all the rebellious tribes have been exterminated, men killed, and women and children have been brought to Ningguta and become their slaves."

Lee Myung-hoon asked: "What if I help you?"

Ba Hai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Li Mingxun in a daze. He couldn't speak for a moment. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. The Ming merchants in front of him had more than 100 elite soldiers. They were equipped with spears, swords and iron arrows. He also saw the iron pipes that could produce thunder and fire when he was young. Even a wild boar with more than 300 kilograms would be killed. Even if the white armored soldiers were wearing armor, they would be difficult to defend. If they had helped, the chances of victory would naturally be greater.

"Why are you helping me?" Ba Hai suddenly asked vigilantly.

Li Mingxun said truthfully: "My trading company needs precious goods such as fur, ginseng, etc. produced here, and Donglu did not allow Ming to trade here. If you want to get the right to trade, you have to defeat them!"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Bahai asked.

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "The first thing is to take advantage of the summer and autumn seasons, where the mountains and rivers are rich in food, and migrate to your tribe."

In early August of the 13th year of Chongzhen, Xingkai Lake Wooden City.

Haita watched tens of thousands of furs and bags of ginseng and antlers transported by fish skins to the warehouse of Mucheng, and his firm face was full of satisfaction. This was the first time he had been promoted to Jialazhangjing to appreciate Wulin. The results were quite fruitful. The tribes that came to Kuyi Island to pay tribute to marten have increased from three to six, and the tributes of the Solon tribe north of Heilongjiang also increased by 30%. If the various tributes received from Qi Liemi Seren, it would not only be a great achievement, but also a lot of them can be shared.

What made Haita even happier was that Bahai of Ulaza's tribe should have sent his beautiful sister and ten girls to his tent. Haita still remembers the girl named Buhe. He never thought that there was such a beautiful woman in Qilie's charm.

Niu Lu Zhangjing, who was left behind in the Mucheng, rushed over. Seeing that his face was nervous, Haita knew that bad news came. Haita walked over and threw the soft mink cloak into his subordinate's arms, and asked casually: "Amba, did Bahai not send that woman?"

Amba shook her head vigorously, grabbed Haita, who wanted to enjoy the drinks and women, and said, "Master Haita, something big happened, Ulaza's troops escaped!"

Haita stopped in place and suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Where can these idiots escape? Go north? It will snow in one month, and they will freeze to death in the wild forest."

Amba's face looked extremely ugly and said, "I heard from Qilie from several nearby tribes that Bahai took the Ulaza tribe to the southwest and crossed Suifenhe. Several tribal leaders said that Bahai told them that the Ulaza tribe was going to attach North Korea, and it seemed that he was going to cross the Tumen River!"

Haita was stunned in place, thought for a while, and asked: "Is the news true? How can the North Koreans have the courage to accommodate the charming people!"

Amba asked someone to bring a box filled with cloth, velvet, scissors and salt. Amba said: "Master of Haita, someone has seen North Korean merchants appear in the Ulaza tribe with his own eyes. Look at these merchants, who can provide these goods except North Koreans?"

"How long have they been gone!" Haitara passed Amba and asked sternly.

Amba said: "It will not be ten days at most, maybe only seven days."

"Very good, immediately blow the trumpet and call on all the troops to chase after him!" Haita immediately ordered the white-armored soldiers behind him.

Amba hurriedly grabbed the white-armored soldier and said, "Master, don't be impulsive. Aangbang Zhangjing asked us to collect marten tribute. Now that the marten and ginseng have been received, why bother to make trouble? North Korea is just a vassal state of our Qing Dynasty. Just send an envoy to return it to the tribes."

Haita smiled coldly and said, "When will we Manchus rely on verbalism to deal with the dispute? If the Ulaza tribe dares to betray the Qing Dynasty, they will destroy the clan. Amba, you should know that Qilie is charming. If we ease a little, they will shoot arrows at us. When Lao Khan was alive, he repeatedly warned that killing more can establish his authority!"

"But if the master transfers the elite troops, what should I do if the Mucheng is there? There are a lot of fur, salt and cloth here." Amba begged. This is a charming territory of Qili. The city's wealth and only dozens of people guarding it, it is hard to guarantee that the barbarians will not take risks.

Haita laughed: "Amba, load the fur and ginseng on livestock, and you and I will go out together. The Ulaza tribe must have crossed the Tumen River. In this place, Huining is only available. Why don't you and I bring the fur to Huining directly, and save the trouble of Angbang Zhangjing."

After hearing this, Amba nodded slightly. Since the Wulin system was introduced, the fur and ginseng and antlers traded from the Jurchens in the East China Sea, except for the tributes, will be transported from the Zhangjing of Ningguta to the south bank of the Tumen River to trade in Huining City in North Korea. This is also the main way for the Eight Banners aristocrats stationed in Ningguta to sell stolen goods.

"I have to do this." Amba sighed.

Seeing that Haita and the white-armored soldiers were coming to gather the troops, the Baoyi slave beside Anba said, "Master, don't be upset. We will take the merchant goods directly to Huining. It is better than Master Angbang Zhangjing, and the master can make more money."

Amba glared at his Baoyi and scolded, "What do you know? Haita is so active in chasing the Ulaza tribe, because he is worried that his plot to seize the Ulaza tribe's women and forcing Ah Hai to rebel. But that's fine, the North Korean businessman actually broke the agreement and stretched his hand across the Tumen River, and he has to teach them a lesson."

As Niulu Zhangjing, who was in his forties, Amba served four Ningguta Anbang Zhangjing, dozens of times, and went to Pulu Township to admire Wulin five times. He was the most experienced officer in Ningguta, so he naturally knew the significance of forbidding merchants to enter the Jurchen territory of the East China Sea. The reason why these smelly barbarians were willing to pay stews was not only kneeling down to the force of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but also because they wanted to obtain the necessary salt, iron and tea from the Qing Dynasty. When merchants entered here, they would reduce the dependence of the Qi Liemi and the Soren tribes on the Qing Dynasty, and eventually led to the rebellion.

An hour later, Haita and Amba came out of Mucheng. Haita, the main pursuit force, led 200 people in front. Elite white-armored soldiers and dozens of war horses were under his command and followed the traces left by the Ulaza tribe. Amba followed the sea tower with more than 100 soldiers and horses, following the nearly 100 pack horses, and the pack horses were covered with valuable goods such as fur, ginseng and antlers. As for the goods in Mucheng, they could only be left there temporarily.

After three days of pursuit, the two teams were getting farther and farther away. The last time Amba received news from Haita was that he had caught up with the back team of Ulaza's army and fought with Ulaza's hunters.

At the three-chakou of Suifenhe, this is a rare section where you can cross the river in summer. Amba stood on the stone by the river and watched the soldiers pulling a pack horse to cross the river, but his heart was full of anxiety. There was a rustling sound in the jungle behind him, and the river was flowing. In the distance, unknown birds were chirping. Amba's heart suddenly felt cold, and he felt something flying over his neck. He looked back and saw a blood-burning hole on his head, carrying a wine bag, and fell to the ground.

"Enemy attack!" Amba shouted, rolling into the cracks of the rock regardless of his image, and kept shouting.

There was already a mess at the ferry. Amba poked out his eye and saw that the dense forests on the shore were constantly covered in fish-skinned silk. The bald Qilie was charming. When he stopped occasionally, he must have pulled his bow and shot arrows. The soldiers inlaid blue flags on both sides of the ferry hid, but the middle of the river became a living target. Those Qilie were obviously ready. They only shot people but not horses, and without a stick of incense. More than 20 people crossing the river were shot to death, and the soldiers fighting back on both sides were suppressed and unable to move.

"What's going on? Why is Qilie Cairen so powerful?" Amba's face was pale as paper. He watched the soldiers with the blue flags being shot into the chest and abdomen and died. You know, this was not the era of Lao Khan. Today's Eight Banners, as long as they can fight, which one is not wearing armor. How could Qilie Cairen shoot through the iron armor of the soldiers under his command?

"Sir Zhang Jing, look!" An armored soldier handed over an arrow. It was this arrow that shot through Amba's head and nailed it into the sand.
