Chapter 552 The Conspiracy of Xinma Island (5)

The battle between the Black Rock Department and the Giant Wood Department was very intense, but except for the fact that there was no major war at the beginning, it was basically a local fight involving hundreds of people.

But every fight meant tens of hundreds of people died, and the youth and strength of the two tribes were reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wang Dahu was dissatisfied with this, he fought like pulling his hair in time to decide the winner.But he didn't rush to intervene, because he knew that the two parties participating in the battle were more anxious than him.

Cai Yang, Wang Dahu, Huang Yu and others stood on the reef facing the howling sea wind, watching the angry thick smoke in the distance.

Wang Dahu said: "As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first without using food and grass. Materials play a very important role in the war. The food of the Black Rock Department and the Jumu Department is not even enough to feed their stomachs. There is no way to support them in launching a long-term war."

"The war has dragged on for too long, and the people will all starve to death without them deciding the winner. The two ministries must understand this truth. So they will definitely launch a general offensive in the near future, and then plunder the other party's supplies to help them survive the winter."

"Moreover, there is heavy snowfall in Xinma Island every winter. The snow generally reaches three or four feet thick, and the deepest part can reach Zhangxu. This year's heavy snow comes later than in previous years, but I asked the locals, and it must be within ten days at the latest. It will snow."

"It is difficult to even walk under the heavy snow, let alone fight, and once the battle is blocked by the heavy snow, it will give Jukibe a buffer time, and it will be even more difficult for the Black Rock Department to eliminate them."

"Okochi is also well aware of this, and will definitely launch a general offensive before the heavy snow falls. In other words, the war will have a result within ten days."

Hearing this, Cai Yang couldn't help clapping his hands and sighed: "Wonderful, listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books. I have more confidence in the battle of Singapore and Malaysia."

Huang Yu looked at his eldest brother who was eloquent and eloquent in admiration. It was nothing wrong to be a pirate before, but he just felt that his eldest brother was neither hasty nor impatient and far-sighted.

After joining the Dizhou Navy, in order to learn the formal art of war, he behaved too lowly in front of other generals, which caused dissatisfaction among many brothers, and even caused the brothers to renounce.

But this time when he came to Xinma Island, he discovered the excellence of his elder brother.

Hundreds of people were ordered by him in an orderly manner. When they encountered setbacks after landing on the island, they were not frustrated or aggressive. Instead, they retreated and designed a huge plan that spanned several months.

But now the plan is finally going to succeed, and the soldiers of Datang are about to officially land on Xinma Island...

Thinking that all these were done by them under the command of his eldest brother, he felt excited and full of admiration for Wang Dahu.

At this moment, a subordinate came to report, and Minister Juki asked to see him.

Wang Dahu could probably guess the reason for the other party's visit, but he didn't want to see him, so he said to Huang Yu: "Third Brother, go and see this Nagase and see what he means. If he wants to see me, just say I'm going to Fusang The stock is not on the island."

"Okay." Huang Yu responded and turned to leave.

After he left Cai Yang, he asked, "Will Captain Wang not ask Nagase's purpose?"

"It can only be for help, either food or weapons. I guess food is more likely." Wang Dahu said.

"Oh? Why don't you want weapons?" Cai Yang asked with interest.

"The Jukibe's determination to destroy the Heiyanbe is not strong. They want to wait until the snow falls to overcome this crisis. And as long as they avoid fighting, it will be difficult for the Heiyanbe to win. So they are more likely to come to ask for food .” Wang Dahu analyzed:
"Of course, everything is just speculation. The real situation will not be known until Huang Yu returns."

"I believe your analysis is correct." Cai Yang smiled.

The two didn't wait long, and Huang Yu soon came back and relayed Nagase's purpose, which was indeed for food.Moreover, he came up with conditions similar to those of the Black Rock Department, and promised a piece of land when the war was over.

"Lieutenant Cai thinks how to deal with it?" Wang Dahu asked.

"Hehe... This is your business, I won't do it for you." Cai Yang shook his hand.

Others just ask for his opinion out of politeness. If he really decides, he will not be a human being.

Wang Dahu didn't back down either, and said to Huang Yu: "Tell Nagase that we don't have any extra food to go to Fusang to buy, and it will take half a month to go back and forth."

"Then go to Okochi. We are just businessmen who dare not offend Jukibe. If they can't solve the battle within half a month, we can only send food to Jukibe."

"Okay, I'll do it now." Yellow Fish folded his hands and retreated.

"One ring within one ring, clever." Cai Yang praised.

"Captain Cai is too famous." Wang Dahu said modestly.

Cai Yang didn't say anything more, but looked Wang Dahu up and down, his eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something.Although Wang Dahu didn't know what he was thinking, he wisely didn't ask.

After a while, Cai Yang's eyes became firmer, and he said, "If I can become Captain Zhechong, I will most likely guard Xinma Island. I don't know if Captain Wang is willing to come and help me?"

"?" Wang Dahu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that he said without any hesitation, "Thanks to Captain Cai's respect, I dare not obey orders."

"Haha... Well, well, I feel relieved with Wang Xiaowei's words, and I hope you and I will join hands to expand the territory and expand the land on this vast sea for my Tang Dynasty, and build an inexhaustible achievement." Cai Yang said happily .

"It's my honor." Wang Dahu also said happily.

He was really happy, finally found the organization.

The world is full of all kinds of circles, Dizhou Navy also has countless circles, and Wang Dahu belongs to the least popular circle.

Of course, no one would crowd out and bully him because of this.After all, he saved Yue Shan, so everyone should give him some face.But it doesn't exclude you, and you will never be allowed to enter our circle.

Later, when Liu Rengui came to serve as the commander of the Dizhou Navy, his life was a little easier, and he was even appointed as the commander of the advance army of Xinma Island.

But Liu Rengui's status was too high for him to climb, just like he had saved Yue Shan but still couldn't squeeze into the inner circle of the navy.

He has always wanted to find an admiral who can accept him sincerely, but he has never been able to meet the right one.

It's not that no one has tried to win him over, it's just that those people don't really want to make friends with him, but want to use him.He was naturally unwilling to take refuge in such a person, so he has been delaying until now.

Fortunately, he was finally made to wait.

Cai Yang is the oldest group of officers in the Dizhou Navy. He was the captain when the navy had only one battalion.He will soon become the captain of Zhechong and lead the Zhechong Mansion alone, which can be said to be a high position and authority.

After these few months of contact, he is very satisfied with Cai Yang's behavior. He is resourceful, aggressive but not reckless, and he is relatively broad-minded and tolerant, and he doesn't discriminate against them, a group of pirates... very suitable for refuge.

Speaking of which, he and Cai Yang are also very predestined. When he was a pirate, Cai Yang led a team to pick up their family, and helped them defeat the two invading pirates and rescued their family.

This time, the two were sent to Xinma Island to carry out the occupation mission at the same time. It cannot but be said that the fate is so wonderful.

……

Wang Dahu's ultimatum did work. The Black Rock Department launched several full-scale attacks one after another, causing huge losses to the Jumu Department.

Counting the 6000 people who were caught off guard at the beginning, the war has continued until now and they have lost more than [-] people.One-third of the population disappeared, and the most deadly thing was that most of the losses were young and strong.

It can be said that Jukibe has come to an end.

But if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred, and the Black Rock Department itself has suffered heavy losses. It has lost more than 6000 young and strong men. Most of the losses were caused by the last few general attacks.

It is conceivable that if Jukibe refuses to surrender, Heiyanbe will suffer even greater losses if they want to win the final victory.

Naturally, Wang Dahu also considered the possibility that Jumubu would surrender, so he quietly sent someone to give them two hundred weapons.

There were indeed some who wanted to surrender, but Changpingchuan, who had obtained two hundred excellent weapons, rose sharply and forcibly suppressed all the surrendering factions and insisted on fighting to the end.

The Black Rock Department also knew that the war could not be delayed any longer, and began to gather troops to launch the final general offensive.Jukibe also sensed the opponent's plan and started a general mobilization.

The sky was particularly gloomy this day, Wang Dahu tightened his leather jacket, stretched out his hand to catch the snow falling from the sky, and asked, "Have all the guests arrived?"

"All the leaders of the six tribes are here, waiting for you in the reception room." One of the subordinates said quickly.

"It's time to end the war." Wang Dahu muttered to himself, and then said to his opponent: "Lead the way."

After a while, he came to the conference room, where he met the six tribal leaders who had been waiting for a long time.

Among the six tribes, there is a medium-sized tribe with a population of about 8000.Five small and medium tribes with a population of less than [-].

They are also regular customers of the brothel, and Wang Dahu has been interested in making friends since entering Xinma Island, and the relationship between the two parties is very good.

"Treasurer Wang, you are finally here. Tell us why you want us to come here. It's been a troubled time recently, and we can't leave the tribe for a long time." Chitu, the leader of the giant bear tribe, spoke first.

"That's right, it's fine if it's about appreciating Fusang female slaves, but I don't care about these now." Ando, ​​the head of the rock and soil department, said.

Others also spoke one after another.

It's just that they spoke Ainu language, and Wang Dahu couldn't understand it at all, so he didn't pay attention to what these people said, and after he came to his seat, he said:

"Inviting a few of you here is because I have a big matter to discuss with you."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr like like a Sentence, but Immediately Translated.

"@￥#%*..." (What is it? We need to bring so many of us together.)
Wang Dahu took out two pages of paper from his pocket, which were the contracts signed by Heiyanbu, Jumubu and him, and handed them to several people.

Speaking of which, the Ainu people are also self-defeating. Back then, they had a population of several million, and they owned a vast land, even Fusang was theirs.Have their own language, writing, customs, etc. . . .

As a result, many people were killed due to infighting among themselves, and civilization also retreated greatly, and even the smelting technology is almost lost.

But fortunately, relying on the shadow of their ancestors, they have their own writing.This contract is written in Ezo script, and these leaders can understand it.

So when they saw clearly what was written on it, their expressions were not to mention ugly.

Although they engage in internal strife, they also know that Ezo Island is their land and cannot be invaded by outsiders.Fusang tried to invade Ezo Island several times, but was repulsed by their alliance.

Now Heiyanbu and Jumubu actually took the initiative to promise to cede the land to others... They were naturally angry and couldn't accept it, so they wanted to trouble Wang Dahu.

But it was blocked by Chitu.

"What does shopkeeper Wang mean by showing us this?"

Looking at the angry crowd, Wang Dahu showed a helpless expression and said, "I was forced to do nothing. Everyone, I'm just a businessman. Why do you want your land? Are you moving my family here to farm and herd sheep?"

"I don't want these lands at all, but the two tribes force me to accept this deal with their large numbers of people. I refuse unreasonably."

Hearing that the six leaders nodded subconsciously, indeed, Wang Dahu is a businessman, so what's the use of asking for so much land.Even if he dared to ask for it, it was still a question of whether he could keep it.

"Then what is the meaning of the shopkeeper Wang showing us this?" Chi Tu asked.

"Purchasing so much grain, grass and weapons has spent almost all the money I earned this year, and what I got in return is just a piece of useless waste paper." Wang Dahu said through gritted teeth:

"It's fine if the money is only my own. Part of it is to be paid to the Datang Navy. It's about time to pay the tribute. If I can't come up with the money, the Navy will never let it go." I."

"The left and right are dead, I decided to give it a go."

"Give it a go? How?" Ando asked hastily with a heartbeat.

"Everyone, your tribe has been oppressed by the Black Rock Department and the Jumu Department for decades, are you willing?" Wang Dahu asked instead of answering his question.

"What do you mean?" Ando should have guessed what he meant, and he was very excited, but he still couldn't believe it, and asked.

"The two tribes used to have a lot of people and you didn't dare to resist, but now they have a war with heavy casualties. If you join hands..." Wang Dahu clenched his fists and said: "In the future, the land of Ezo will be decided by you. "

The eyes of the six people lit up immediately, and when they looked around for a week, they immediately understood that other people were as tempted as themselves.

"When I bought weapons for the Black Rock Department, I secretly hid hundreds of them, and I can give them to you to increase your power." Wang Dahu added another bargaining chip.

Now the six chiefs did not answer Wang Dahu's question, but chattered together and discussed it. After a while, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus.

Then Chitu stepped forward and asked, "What do you want?"

"The spoils, give me all the spoils to make up for my losses." Wang Dahu said: "At the same time, you must also ensure the safety of my shop, and restrain your subordinates not to cause trouble here."

Several people exchanged glances and said, "Okay, we can guarantee the safety of your shop after the matter is completed."

Wang Dahu said excitedly: "Then let's fight for the big one, and let this land change its master."

　Another [-] words, today I added [-] words, creating personal history.

　　So... please ask for a monthly pass.Now the monthly pass is still in single digits, which is too ugly.Please.
