"He is the clan leader?" Under his sunglasses, Zhao Xin's eyes suddenly widened.
He turned to look at the little Ainu next to him, with a smile on his face. Many things would be simple from now on.
The leader of the Matsumae Domain warriors stared at Tuka and said word by word: "This domain issued an order last year, prohibiting all Ezo tribes from trading with foreign barbarians without permission. Chief Tuka, you are blatantly disobeying His Highness Shima Mori. The command!"
After Tuka heard this, his neck turned red with anger. Although he was extremely angry, he did not dare to argue. For them, the Ainu, the Matsumae clan was too powerful, leaving them unable to resist.
Seeing that Tuka stopped talking, the leading warrior asked Zhao Xin again: "Excuse me, where are you from? Listening to your accent, it seems that you are from Guandong."
"Do I need to tell you? You guys have very good noses. I just arrived yesterday and you came to my door today." Zhao Xin said lightly. That is to say, Zhao Xin wore sunglasses, otherwise the four warriors would have drawn their swords immediately when they saw the undisguised contempt in Zhao Xin's eyes.
"You!" Sensing the contempt in Zhao Xin's words, a young warrior's hand immediately touched the handle of the knife, and he raised his feet and was about to walk towards Zhao Xin.
"Don't be impulsive." The leading warrior stretched out his hand to stop his companion. He continued to say to Zhao Xin: "Since you are so rude, please leave immediately. You are not welcome in this domain."
"Haha. You guard Matsumae Castle with a big nose, and you dare to claim to be the master of this place?"
As soon as Zhao Xin finished speaking, Liu Sheng and Ding Guofeng walked out from behind the D30 covered with gun jackets, followed by Pingtai. The three people spread out and formed a fan with Zhao Xin, surrounding the four warriors.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?" The four warriors glanced at Liu Sheng and others who were gradually surrounding them. They felt that something was wrong, and then they took two steps back and touched the hilt of the knife at their waist with their right hands.
The leading warrior was fairly well-informed, and he noticed that Ding Guofeng was holding what looked like an iron cannon. But when I saw that there was no lighted match rope on it, I felt a little relaxed. According to this distance, even if the opponent lights the match rope and prepares to activate, the four of us will still have time to rush forward and chop the opponent to the ground.
Therefore, the samurai watched Liu Sheng and the others with the corner of his eye, and said to Zhao Xin at the same time: "Since you are proficient in our language, you should know that my Lord Shimamoru is the lord of Ezo Island who was personally proclaimed by the shogunate."
"Should we kill them or let them go?" Zhao Xin hesitated.
Perhaps because his hands had been stained with too much blood of the Qing army and island warriors in the past few months, Zhao Xin's heart became more and more violent, and he himself had noticed it.
Since the bombardment of Songdao Town and the first batch of refugees brought back, whenever he encounters things that are not in line with his wishes in Beihai Town, it will be like in the cartoon, Zhao Xin's mind will pop up A "little red man". The "little man" with horns on his head and waving a fork will use a set of reasons that sound very reasonable to lure Zhao Xin to use violent means to deal with those things.
Several times, Zhao Xinqiang endured it. But when he thinks about it again after he calms down, he will be so shocked that he breaks into a cold sweat.
He felt that no one could help him with this kind of thing, even Liu Sheng had no such experience before he was brought here. But he still forgot one person, Wang Yuanfang.
After learning from Liu Sheng that something was wrong with Zhao Xin's recent state, Wang Yuanfang, who had experienced it, thought about it carefully and understood what was going on. He had also experienced this kind of mental state. He had received treatment from a psychiatrist, and it took him a while to adjust before it slowly subsided.
Wang Yuanfang did not provide psychological counseling to Zhao Xin. Because he knew that in terms of reasoning, he could not defeat Zhao Xin. So he suggested that Zhao Xin have more contact with the children in the camp, which might be able to resolve the hostility in his heart.
Therefore, Zhao Xincai couldn't wait to ask Chen Qingsong to build a simple classroom so that Sheng Haizhou could count the school-age children in the camp. In addition to those children who need to be educated, he also wants to resolve the demons in his heart by giving lessons to those energetic children every day.
In order to prevent his eyes from revealing his inner thoughts, he hurriedly put on sunglasses before meeting the four warriors of Matsumae clan.
At this moment, he kept reminding himself that the Matsumae Clan behind these four seemingly polite samurai would suppress the Ainu people through cruel means in the next few decades, and eventually make the Ainu people on the entire island nation Only about 20,000 people were killed.
"Life is a mixture of contradictions and hypocrisy." At this time, Zhao Xin couldn't help but think to himself.
"I won't kill you now." Zhao Xin felt at this time that it was better not to just shoot to solve the problem. So he took a few deep breaths and said slowly to the four Matsumae clan warriors in front of him: "You go back and send a message to Matsumae Michiko, asking him to quickly pack up his bedroll and return to Toshima Peninsula, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, the four Matsumae clan warriors suddenly became furious and pulled out their samurai swords with a "swish" sound.
"How dare you call Lord Shimamori by his first name? You are seeking death!" A young samurai was furious and struck at Zhao Xin with his sword.
"No!" The leading warrior saw that the man not far away did not light the match, but directly raised the iron cannon to take aim. He felt that something was wrong and it was too late to stop him.
"Bang" the gun in Ding Guofeng's hand rang out.
On the empty deck, the sound of the lever rifle was not that loud. If I had to describe it, it was like someone whipping a whip hard in the air, but the sound wasn't that clear and crisp.
The echo of gunshots lingered in the sky above the Thor. When the Ainu people on more than a dozen small boats on the sea heard the sound, they all looked at each other in shock, not knowing what was happening.
Tuka and the other four people on the deck were frightened by the sudden explosion. Before they understood what happened, they heard a "cang" sound and a samurai sword fell on the deck.
The .357 Magnum bullet, which could knock down even an elephant with one shot, hit the young warrior on the left side of his chest. The young samurai who was shot immediately collapsed on the deck, motionless.
The faint smoke from the muzzle quickly disappeared without a trace. Ding Guofeng quickly pushed the lever under the trigger, and a yellow bullet shell quickly popped out and fell to the deck with a crisp sound.
He turned the muzzle of his gun towards the leader of the warriors and muttered: "It turns out that movies are such a lie."
The movie deception that Ding Guofeng said is actually the scene in the movie where people shot by .357 Magnum fly out in an exaggerated way.
At this time, Liu Sheng also took out his pistol and pointed it at the remaining three warriors, and mocked at the same time: "When you shot the wild boar with this gun, did the wild boar fly away? You are naive."
"You!" The leader of the Matsumae Domain warrior was shocked. He did not expect that the opponent's iron cannon fired directly without a match rope. He saw that the person who fired the gun just pushed an iron ring on the gun body, and then the muzzle of the gun turned towards him.
"Impulse is the devil." Zhao Xin said calmly in Mandarin.
A samurai knelt down and touched the neck of the fallen samurai with his hand. Then with a sad and angry look on his face, he raised his head and said to the leading samurai: "Sir, Kichiemon is dead!"
At this time, Zhao Xin's voice sounded again.
"I'll let you go back. You go back and tell Matsumae Michhiro that this is the land of the Ainu people, not your Matsumae Clan. Let the islanders on the plain Sapporo side go back to Matsumae Castle, or else clean your butts and prepare to meet the God of Thunder. of anger.”
The three samurai stopped talking. They put away their katana and worked together to lift the dead young samurai. The leading warrior knelt down and lifted the body onto his shoulders.
The three of them glanced at Zhao Xin and the others, then turned around and disembarked.
Tuka was stiff at this time, and waves of chills came from his heart. He trembled and said to Zhao Xin and others: "You, you have caused a big trouble!"
Zhao Xin took off his sunglasses, smiled and said to Tuka: "Chief Tuka, don't worry. Shachuan will always be the territory of the Shachuan tribe, and the Matsumae family cannot take it away."
"You guys, do you know how many samurai there are in the Matsumae family? I heard that they also recruited a lot of ronin! Your big ship can turn around and leave, but we will be in bad luck here!" An Ainu man said to Zhao Xin angrily growled.
The ronin he refers to are the ronin recruited by many island businessmen who have obtained local trading rights.
The Matsumae clan began to implement the "site petition system" in Ezo more than ten years ago. This kind of leasing of trading rights, similar to the tax farming system, attracted many merchants from Hondo and Mutsu.
After these businessmen took root in the leased territory, they began to monopolize local fishing and hunting activities. They recruited ronin as overseers and drove the Ainu to hunt and fish for them. If someone did not obey the merchants' exploitation, the rogues would kill the rebels.
In the minds of the Ainu people, the Matsumae clan and these merchants were both treacherous and ghostly. Their trading methods are completely different from the simple trading methods of the Ainu people.
High-intensity labor and extremely low pay have led to an increase in the number of people starving to death. The Matsumae clan and these merchants did everything they could to make life extremely difficult for many Ainu tribes in Ezo.
After listening to Pingtai's translation, Liu Sheng said, "Chief Tuka, don't worry. We won't leave until this matter is resolved."
After listening to Zhao Xin's translation, Tuka's expression relaxed slightly.
Zhao Xin saw that he was still very nervous, so he said to him: "Invite all your tribesmen up. Whether it is exchanging goods, eating or drinking, we welcome you."
When he heard that there was wine, Tuka's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked to the side of the ship and shouted to the tribesmen below: "Bring everything up. Our friends on the ship treat us to food and wine!"
The Ainu people on more than a dozen small boats on the sea had just watched in surprise as the three warriors carried the bodies of their companions onto the boat and went away. While everyone was secretly wondering, they heard the chief's greeting and said there was wine, and they were overjoyed. .
So more than a dozen small boats docked next to the gangway one after another, and everyone climbed onto the deck of the Thor carrying various goods carried on the ships.
Zhao Xin was worried that too many people would damage the mechanical equipment on the deck, so he asked Pingtai to greet the Ainu people and lead them to the canteen in the cabin.
Liu Sheng took out two boxes of Wotega bought by Zhao Xin from a tin cabinet in the cafeteria.
After drinking several glasses of high-strength liquor, the Ainu people suddenly became very happy and began to sing. A dozen sailors served various heated canned meats, and a group of people ate and drank, very satisfied.
Zhao Xin, who didn't like to drink, felt a little drunk after having a few drinks with Tuka. Tuka and several of his men drank from one cup after another, as if they were drinking water. Finally, they thought the cup was too small, so they simply picked up the bottle and filled it directly.
Tuka raised his head and drank a bottle of Wotega, then said a few words to the tribesmen around him. The two tribesmen got up and went to the goods piled aside, and took out a large black bear skin.
"Friend, this is my gift to you! By the way, I don't know your name yet."
Zhao Xin, who was blushing, smiled and said, "Just call me "らいじん"."
Except for Pingtai, Liu Sheng and other modern people didn't know what Zhao Xin was talking about.
This guy is pretending to be ac again, らいじん is the "Thunder God".
