Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 100 Shachuan and Songqian Fan

Although the steamed buns were delicious, they did not arouse the Ainu's greater surprise.They occasionally exchange some food from the Sakhalin Feyaka people, although the amount is not large, but after all, they have seen it.

Compared with the soft and glutinous steamed buns, these four people are more interested in iron tools, bows and arrows, and cotton armor.Zhao Xin looked at it, and he had a scruple in his heart.

It seems that the contradiction between these Ainu and Matsumae domain is getting deeper and deeper.He thought of the "Ainu Rising" that broke out five years later, because a timber merchant deducted his pay, which triggered the Ainu riots that had been accumulating for many years.However, in order to quell the riots, the cunning Matsumae Domain first agreed to the conditions of the Ainu, and immediately turned his face and refused to recognize the person afterwards.By the time the Ainu woke up, there was no danger.Matsumae Domain took the opportunity to brutally suppress and shoot all the insurgents to death.

The riots ended in rivers of Ainu blood.The Tokugawa shogunate was worried about the brutal rule of the Ezo land by the Matsumae clan, for fear that the Ainu would take advantage of the opportunity of the Tsarist Russians to invade the south, and thus accelerated the development of the Ezo land.

After eating four steamed buns, the leading Ainu turned around and walked to the side of the Thor, shouting a few words to the people on the three boats below.When the people on the boat heard it, they all turned around and rowed to the shore.

Zhao Xin stared at the few locals who were gobbling down in front of him, and said in his heart that he must not die before the business was negotiated.He didn't dare to ask the sailor to bring water, he ate four steamed buns and then drank water, or he would have a stomach perforation.

He grabbed Ping Tai and whispered to him, "Ask him what that person's name is, and then ask him where he is."

Ping Tai nodded in agreement, then stepped forward and said to the Ainu headed, "My name is Ping Tai, what's your name?"

The man replied, "My name is Tuka."

"What is this place called?"

"otaornay. Shachuan."

Zhao Xin heard a few words back and forth in his mouth, and understood that this is the Otaru of later generations (Otaru, おたるotaru.)
At this time, he stepped forward and asked the Ainu named Tuka in the island dialect, "Are there any people from the Matsumae Domain here?"

"You know Matsuzaki too?" The Tuka was surprised, then shook his head and said, "We don't have it here. But there are quite a few in Satporo."

Zhao Xin knew that the "Satporo" that Tuka was talking about was the Sapporo of the future, he nodded immediately, then turned to Liu Sheng and others and said, "It seems that the claws of the Matsumae Domain have already reached here. We have to help the locals. Cut off this claw, or we won't be able to transport the coal from Yubari."

Before Liu Sheng could answer, Zhao Xin turned to Tuka and asked, "Do you know where 'yuparo' is?"

Tuka frowned and said to Zhao Xin, "Huh? Why do you even know 'yuparo'? That's not by the sea."

Zhao Xin laughed and explained, "We also heard from a merchant from Sendai Domain."

"Yuparo" is the Yubari of later generations.The Ainu language literally means "land of springs"; while the Ishikari coal mine near Yubari is called "the crooked river".

Well, Zhao Xin decided to name these two places on his map "North Quanzhou" and "North Qujiang" respectively; as for Sapporo, it was literally called "Plain City".

At this time, Liu Sheng and Deng Fei, who were curious about the birch bark clothes on Tuka, also came over.So the two chatted with Tuka for a long time with the help of Zhao Xinping and Taitai to translate.

Zhao Xin took advantage of a few people chatting, and asked the sailors on the deck to go to the cabin to get a set of captured scorpions (bow bags and quivers) and thirty plum blossom needles and arrows.

After the sailor brought it, Zhao Xin said to Tuka, holding a throwing bag full of long arrows, "My friend, this is a gift for you."

This is a set of chakras used by the Qing soldiers. The surface is made of cowhide and decorated with copper engravings; the lining is padded with red velvet, and the edges of the bow bag and quiver are decorated with red and yellow patterns. .

Tuka's eyes lit up when he looked at this set of scorpions in Zhao Xin's hands.He reached out and stroked the leather lightly; when he saw the thirty long arrows in his quiver, he cried out in surprise.

"Iron Arrow!"

He carefully pulled out a plum-blossom needle arrow, obsessively looking at the red tail feathers, the shiny black arrow.

Tuka's face was flushed and his breathing was short. He didn't expect to receive such a precious gift.

Holding the gift handed over by Zhao Xin in both hands, Tuka raised her face flushed with excitement and said loudly, "You are the most honorable friends of the Shachuan tribe from now on. The Shachuan tribe welcomes you to sell goods here at any time."

After he finished speaking, he asked Zhao Xin, "Your gift is too precious. I decided to give you the most beautiful woman of the Shachuan tribe."

"Ah?!" Zhao Xin panicked when he heard it.According to the standards of adult women in this era, Zhunbao 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 now."

Several modern people immediately understood what Zhao Xin meant, and laughed strangely.

Speaking of this matter, Liu Siting once emphasized in a meeting, put away your dirty thoughts.If you want to find a wife, there are some age-appropriate ones in the camp.Whoever dares to think otherwise, don't blame her for being rude.At that time, Liu Siting glared at Ding Guofeng while talking.

Conscience of heaven and earth, Ding Guofeng felt that he had been wronged to death.He was just talkative, and he really didn't think about that in his heart.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 30s.

Zhao Xin also said at the meeting that we are still living a collective life, so even if we find a wife, I have nowhere to place you.Let's wait until the house is built.

At this time, Tuka Heping looked at the four people in front of him and laughed strangely, and was a little confused for a while.

Because Ping Tai didn't understand the stalks in Liu Sheng's words, Tuka's blushing face gradually became a little wrong at this time, and the beard on his lips began to tremble slightly.

"What are you talking about?" Tuka's face became a little blue at this time, and he felt that he was mocked by Zhao Xin and others.

Zhao Xin and several people looked at them and quickly restrained their smiles.He said to Tuka with sincerity: "My 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 place in Shachuan. Shops, so you can exchange for the supplies you need at any time."

Feeling the sincerity in Zhao Xin's tone, Tuka asked, "How much land do you want? Just go ashore with me, and choose a place yourself."

Zhao Xinxin said, "That's great!" Just as he was about to ask again, he heard a sailor on the side of the boat shout: "A dozen boats are coming across the boat. It seems that there are warriors on them!"

As soon as the words fell, the few people who were chatting quickly came to the side of the ship and looked towards the coast.

Liu Sheng raised the binoculars on his chest to watch, and saw that in addition to a dozen small boats that were obviously dressed up by Ainu people, there were four island warriors on one boat.The four warriors all wore hats, and it looked like they had swords in their waists.

Everyone waited for a while, the boat gradually approached, and the picture card, still holding something in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and then said very unexpectedly: "This is... a person from the Matsumae domain?"

When Zhao Xin heard this, his heart suddenly became vigilant.Didn't Tuka just say that there are no people from the Matsumae family in Shachuan?What happened to these four samurai who suddenly appeared?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Tuka.

At this time, Tuka's eyes met Zhao Xin's. Looking at the doubt in the other'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 people." Zhao Xin said lightly.

Deng Fei turned his head to look at the pile of things on the deck, and quickly asked, "Do you want to put this away?"

"No. I didn't plan to let these people go back." Zhao Xin said coldly.

A few people knew what he meant when they heard it.

Ding Guofeng was about to run into the cabin, but Zhao Xin stopped him and asked, "Why are you going?"

"Go 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 have to say."

"You take this."

Liu Sheng threw the Marlin1894 in his hand to Ding Guofeng, and then pulled out the pistol from the outside of his thigh.

More than a dozen small boats loaded with animal skins parked around the gangway, but the Ainu people on the boat did not dare to approach the Thor, but stopped in a group, waiting for the boat that the four samurai were on to get on board.

The four warriors of the Matsumae family looked up at the tall ship in front of them, and were also secretly shocked.Compared with this ship, the family's Qianshi ship is like a small early ship facing the Qianshi ship.

After they had tied the cables, they carefully climbed the ladder.

The four of them boarded the deck in fear and looked around. The tall snow-white ship building made them dizzy for a while.After calming down a little, the four of them saw a tall man standing ten steps in front of them.

The man's complexion was very white, and under his weird short hair, a thing with two black circles covered his eyes.He was wearing a colorful short suit, and his hands were placed on the sides of his legs so casually.

On the left side of the man, stood an Ainu.

"Are you from the Songqian domain?" Zhao Xin, who was wearing sunglasses, greeted the four samurai first.

"I am under the command of Shima Shou, an official of the Sapporo Institute. Who is your Excellency?" A samurai greeted Zhao Xin.

"Haha~ the paws of Songqian's family have reached Pingyuan City..." Zhao Xin said sarcastically.

"You are so rude! Hurry up and apologize!" a samurai shouted angrily.

"This is not a plain, this is the territory of the Shachuan tribe. What are the people from the Matsuzane domain doing here?" asked Tuka, who was standing on one side.

"Who is Your Excellency?" The samurai asked strangely, looking at Tuka wearing an Ainu costume.

"I am the patriarch of the Shachuan tribe." Tuka said with his head held high.
