Ezo, Lake Toya.
Ando wields the hair-pull-shaped fern hand sword to chop, split, and peel. The blade is sharp. Mao Ye on the side was holding a long tassel spear and stabbing continuously.
After a deep voice came out, Ando Zhi and Mao Ye put away their troops to confront each other, and began a competition between knives and spears.
Xue Geng watched the two men move, looking for an opportunity to take action. He smiled at the nervous Andogawa and said, "The hair-pull-type fern hand knife you made is good, but in my opinion, this kind of knife is still a little short. It can be used for close-quarters slashing. There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that every inch of weapon is longer and stronger. Your sword will never be able to match a spear."
Andogawa looked at Ando Chi expectantly and said to Xue Geng: "Brave general, Ando Chi is an outstanding warrior among our Ainu people. He once killed an adult wild boar."
Xue Geng smiled and said: "You are indeed not weak if you can kill a wild boar, but after all, Mao Ye is an elite specially trained by the Ming Dynasty."
Andogawa stared at Andōji and Mao Ye on the field. This competition will determine whether the Ainu people will fully accept the training of the Ming army. There were many people standing on the outside watching the battle, including the Ando clan and other family leaders, and a group of Ainu warriors.
Following Zhu Yunwen's order, Xue Geng led 3,000 sergeants to the Ezo area. Later, due to logistical supply difficulties, he left 2,000 sergeants on the northern coast, and only took 1,000 sergeants deep into Ezo to station near Lake Toya.
The Ainu are no match for the Yamato people. Whether it is fighting ability or conspiracy, they are several levels behind the Yamato people. Otherwise, they would not be kicked out of Honshu Island.
Xue Geng's mission was to train the Ainu and improve their combat effectiveness, so that at the appropriate time the Ainu could move south and form a front to disperse and weaken the shogunate's power.
But there is indeed a split within the Ainu people. The main war faction headed by Ando Chuan and Ando Yum and the main peace faction headed by Ando Yu and Kumano Yamada are tearing apart the Anunu tribe.
Andogawa believed that the Yamato people would completely wipe out the Ainu sooner or later, and even if there were only a few people left, they would not be looked upon. By that time, the Ainu people will not be able to hold on to their own territory, not to mention their own beliefs, their own women, and their own bearskins!
But Andoyu and Kumano Yamada insist that the Yamato people can be persuaded through dialogue and negotiation to maintain the status quo, keep a safe distance from each other, and live in peace. Once they show too obvious fighting tendencies, they will be suppressed by the Yamato people with all their strength. By then, now We can't hold our territory, and everyone is doomed.
In terms of the strength of the Ainu themselves, the main war faction and the peace faction are equally superior.
It's just that the Ming Dynasty supported Ando River and Ando Gong, which made the originally balanced forces lean towards the main war faction. Ando River and others' voice was enhanced. Only then did the Ming army train the Ainu people and select Ainu people. The elite competition among people aims to tell everyone:
As long as the Ainu follow the Ming Dynasty and receive training and weapons from the Ming Dynasty, everyone can become strong, so strong that they can kill a wild boar.
Ando took his hand and moved forward. As soon as he handed out the knife, he was stabbed by the spear in front of him, and then he suddenly touched it, almost knocking the short knife out of Ando's hand. Then Maoye swung his spear and stabbed Ando repeatedly. No matter how he wields the short sword, he cannot threaten Mao Ye.
The killing distance of the short sword is really limited, and the sword skills are cautious, ready to dodge and then counterattack at any time. This sword skill is probably also practiced during the fight with the wild boar. On the other hand, Mao Ye has great strength and a heavy gun, and his shooting skills are wide open and close. His momentum is just to fight hard. If he can't stab you to death, he will smash you to death.
The marksmanship in the Ming Dynasty's military formations was to confront the enemy head-on, to attack the enemy directly, and to attack if they refused. This was not formed by fighting wild boars, but by killing people.
Although Ando was recognized as a powerful figure among the Ainu people, he still couldn't face Maoye who had gone through six months of special training.
Mao Ye shouted loudly, and the spear came down from the top. Ando Zhi hurriedly raised his knife to block, but unexpectedly, Mao Ye made a feint, retracted the gun and stabbed, the tip of the spear hit Ando Zhi's neck!
"Ando Chi lost!"
Kumano Yamada was in disbelief.
"It seems that Ming's killing skills are still powerful."
Andoyu took a deep breath. Judging from the fight between the two people, Andoyu did not give in at all, but his ability was suppressed by the spear.
Kumano Yamada shook his head: "Even if Mao Ye wins, it doesn't mean that we can defeat the Yamato people."
Andoyu smiled and said nothing.
Ando Chi is not a person who cannot afford to lose. When facing a wild boar, if he loses, he is likely to die. A dead person has no chance to cry out or be unconvinced. If he loses, he will die. Just accept it and become stronger.
"I am willing to join the Ming army training camp and learn Ming weapons and martial arts."
Andeng Zhi walked towards Xue Geng and solemnly requested.
After Xue Geng heard clearly and saw Andeng Chuan smiling and nodding, he said to Andeng Zhi: "As long as you want to become strong and eliminate the evil Yamato people, you can come to the Ming Army training camp."
Ando Zhi shouted: "The Yamato people kill my relatives, and I will not be willing to die until the Yamato people are destroyed!"
Xue Geng agreed and arranged for Mao Ye to take Andeng Zhi to the Ming Army training camp.
At this time, a group of Ainu people also stood up. There were more than 300 people, and they all requested to enter the training camp. No one wants to be killed by a wild boar, and everyone wants to become a powerful hero. I heard that the people who come out of the training camp of the Ming Army are very good, and they can catch bigger and more fish than others.
Xue Geng shouted loudly: "Join the Ming Dynasty training camp, Ming Dynasty welcomes you. But don't forget, you Ainu people have been oppressed by the Yamato people to the point of no retreat. Without the Ezo region, you can only Escape to the sea! How many people have died in the depths of the sea? I don’t need to say anything more, right? The Ming Dynasty trained you in order to destroy the Yamato people, take away everything from them, and make you the masters of this land!"
Tongshi translated with great enthusiasm, which made many Ainu people even more excited. Suddenly, even eight-year-old children stood up and wanted to go to the Ming training camp.
Xue Geng leaned over and looked at the child and said seriously: "In the Ming Dynasty, only when strong men died, it would be the turn of children and women to go to the battlefield. Look around you, there are so many strong men among the Ainu , they will definitely be able to defeat the Yamato people, and after many years, you will never see war again, there is only peace in this land."
The Ainu were touched and clamored to join.
Seeing this, Kumano Yamada of the main peace faction scolded those who were about to make a move, and shouted loudly: "The Yamato people will no longer attack us. We now live and work in peace and contentment, and living well is the greatest satisfaction. If you become stronger, it will cause the Yamato people to attack us." Be afraid, then the war will come and you will all die!"
Xue Geng heard what Xiongye Yamada said, walked over step by step, and shouted loudly: "When the wild boar herds come, do you want to be weak and shiver in the wooden house, hide in the cellar and cry, or do you want to become a weak person?" Be strong, kill these wild boars and protect your children!”
"The only destiny for a weak ethnic group is to be extinct! Only a strong ethnic group can survive! Are you willing to remain weak until the Yamato people charge, but you have no power to resist and can only kneel under their swords? , become a tribe that disappears forever?!”
Kumano Yamada shouted angrily: "Don't sow discord. The shogunate has promised us peace. Ando Moruki and Shikakiomi have also become guardians of the shogunate. They are safe and sound, and we will live forever. Now you Ming people are here, let's With so many people practicing martial arts, why don't you show your fangs and tell the shogunate that you plan to go to war? Your threats will bring war and destruction!"
Xue Geng looked at Kumano Yamada who was like an idiot. In his understanding, to surrender to the powerful, you must be weak to avoid being trampled to death by the powerful.
Being strong is a sin.
It's just that he forgot that he was too weak and didn't even have a chance to survive.
???????????????There is no point in arguing. Should the leg be weak or the leg should be weak?
Andengchuan and Andengyong looked at Xue Geng who was a little sad, and they were also a little helpless.
Iteng Gong gritted his teeth and said: "There is no reason for them to be so weak. After all, there are many Ainu people who surrendered to the Yamato people in the Rikuhou, Mutsu, and Umego countries. Although the Yamato people do not regard them as human beings, , indeed they did not kill everyone, at least those who surrendered are still alive. Especially the Akita Minato family, they still hold power and are the guardians of the shogunate."
Xue Geng had some sadness on his brows. Those peace advocates would rather maintain the status quo just because they saw that the surrenderers were still alive. When the status quo cannot be maintained, they will surrender.
This kind of people is not unique to the Ainu. There are countless examples in the history of the Central Plains. When a powerful enemy comes, those who open the city gates and surrender, those who open the Shanhaiguan Pass to surrender, and those who lead the way become traitors!
This group of people are always garbage. No matter how high-sounding they say it, no matter what the reason is, they are garbage, they are garbage, and they cannot be washed clean.
Xue Geng did not force these people. Now Ando Chuan, Ando Gong and others intend to take the lead in the battle. Although this group of people is not strong enough, they can still gather three thousand sergeants.
Although there are not many people, it depends on whose hands it is used and how it is used.
"It's not good, it's not good. The Mutsu Guardians sent people and asked us Ainu to send 3,000 people to support the shogunate's northern expedition to Korea."
Ah Hei ran over and shouted in panic.
After Andengchuan heard clearly, he suddenly panicked and quickly looked at Xue Geng: "Three thousand people? This is not to transfer most of our young people, what should we do!"
Ando Bow was also a little nervous.
Mutsu is the guardian daimyo under the shogunate, and is at the forefront of the Ezo region. As long as their troops cross the Tsugaru Strait, they can directly reach the Ezo region!
The landing place is only more than three hundred miles away from Lake Toya!
Xue Geng stared and frowned.
The shogunate's northern expedition to Korea?
What does this mean? Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is planning to take down North Korea? Is there something wrong with his mind? North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty.
It depends on the owner to beat a dog, let alone Li Fangyuan!
