Zhao Lie's fleet was heading north towards the coast of Honshu, and encountered many Japanese fishing boats along the way.
It seems that the Japanese people have long had the custom of eating rice with dried fish, and it has been an obsession for hundreds of years.
This nation How stubborn.
Zhao Lie observed the Japanese ships during the voyage and found that they did not have many ocean-going ships.
Many of them were offshore ships that used sails and oars for propulsion.
Only a few large ships such as Anzha ships were seen along the way.
Although the western part of Japan was not a prosperous area, there were still too few ocean-going ships.
It can be seen from this that the Seto Inland Sea is generally a small bathtub, and Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku are crowded together.
The absence of huge ships does not affect the Japanese shipping.
Even the Zhuin ships for their ocean voyages were ordered from some shipyards in Fujian, Ming Dynasty, or It is an imitation of the Ming Dynasty Fuchuan.
The Japanese country has been in a state of division and melee among various daimyo for a long time, so it is already impressive to have the daimyo with a naval army.
For the huge sea ships that need to save national financial resources to build, the various daimyo are really unable to build them, but now that the Tokugawa shogunate controls all of Japan, in time, this will not be a problem.
After the fleet sailed for more than ten days, two clipper ships were already waiting for the fleet on the west coast of Ezo.
They brought news of the found harbor and the local situation.
Zhao Lie was not surprised by Kazuto's appearance.
He only remembered that there was a named Kazuto in the southern part of Ezo land, but he didn't know his name at all.
I believe that as long as this daimyo is not an idiot, he will continue to infiltrate into the interior of Ezo.
If there is no unified political power in Ezo, wouldn't it be that the more you occupy, the more you gain?
This is the beginning of the Japanese jurisdiction over Ezo.
The fleet moved on without delay.
The more than a thousand horses on board could no longer afford to be delayed.
Although the horses were provided with a relaxed environment, dozens of horses still fell ill and died.
Zhao Lie was heartbroken.
Now it was time to reach the destination as soon as possible, and everyone urgently needed to go ashore quickly to rest.
Three days later, the fleet finally arrived at the small harbor, well, it's called Fangmao Port now.
The Flying Eagle picked up the fleet outside the harbor.
Zhao Lie asked about the name of the ship that discovered the harbor, and named the harbor after its captain, Fangmao Port. only.
Zhao Lie felt extremely pained when he thought of this name.
Fang Mao, a homophonic and counterfeit name, was really a very speechless name.
I really can’t think too much about it.
Otherwise your teeth will hurt.
Fang Mao didn't know what Zhao Lie was thinking.
He happily went ashore to help the fleet.
It was a blessing for our ancestors to have a fishing port named after him.
Kanadong, the leader of the Weikha tribe, has been waiting in the fishing village for more than ten days.
Kanadong, who is less than 50 years old and short and stocky, has thick hair and beard, and has lively eyes.
Although Carnaton is only in his fifties, he has already exceeded the average lifespan of his tribe.
It's considered longevity.
Due to years of hard work, most of his hair is gray, and his knees are even more sore in winter.
Fortunately, his eldest son Kawei is skilled in martial arts and generous, and has high prestige among the tribe.
Canadon plans to hand over the patriarch to his eldest son next year and enjoy his old age. .
The only thing that worries him is Kazuto's constant harassment, although Kazuto is currently mainly occupying the fishing grounds and hunting grounds of the Anui tribe in the southwest and southeast, making the Anui tribe surrender to Matsumae Clan and pay taxes to Matsumae Clan.
But after the southern part surrendered, Canadon believed that the greedy Kazuto would definitely invade the central, west and north.
Canadon himself would also act in the same way.
Of course, he understood the Matsumae clan's ambitions for the entire large island.

The fragmentation of the Anui tribe also made it easier for He Ren to do things.
The Anui people were divided into hundreds of tribes, and they were never unified.
In this way, several tribes often competed with He Ren, while other tribes watched indifferently.
Without a unified political power, there will be no unified action.
Failure to disperse and face the enemy is inevitable.
Canadon is pessimistic about the future of Anui.
This place is destined not to be the paradise of the Anui people in the future.
However, he believed that he would not see this day, but the ending of his descendants would not be too good, which was the saddest thing to him.
When news came from the fishing village of Otaru Port more than ten days ago that Akito entered the fishing village, he was shocked.
He had only heard about Akito and had fought with Hehe.
He heard from Hehe that the coalition forces of various famous names defeated Akito.
However, the battle was fierce, which showed that Akito was not inferior to Kazuto, and Akito's arrival here was a new threat.
Carnaton immediately gathered the tribesmen and informed the Ming people of their arrival.
Carnadon and his son led more than a hundred tribesmen fully armed to the fishing village.
It is said that he is fully armed with nothing more than an animal skin war robe.
He holds a bow, arrows, swords and guns.
They are all made of low-quality pig iron.
Even the arrowheads are made of bone.
There is no way that the Ezo iron and steel are expensive.
To this day, Anu The Yi people didn’t use iron tools extensively either, so they really couldn’t afford it.
Canadon met with Yanayahi, a capable subordinate, and learned that Akito only had one ship that occasionally appeared in the bay, and the whereabouts of the other ships were unknown.
Kanadon knew that this was the only seaport in this area with deep water and wide width, otherwise the Matsumae clan would not choose this place to trade with the Anui tribe in the west.
Therefore, if the Ming people got involved in the west, they would come here again.
For a time, Carnaton hated this seaport extremely.
Although he gained some income from trading with people here, which greatly improved the weapons and daily livelihood of the clan, this seaport was a curse, and he was greedy for the west.
Kazuto, who has a strong heart, has always coveted this seaport, and this time Akito comes again.
This is a place where his own people can be shattered to pieces.
After ten days of waiting, the low whistle of a conch horn came from the trestle in the morning.
Its constant sound reminded the tribe of the emergency.
Carnaton led a team of more than 100 people to the gentle slope in front of the village.
He climbed up and looked at the blue sea.
He saw tall ships appearing in the field of vision one after another, covering the entire bay, and looming behind them. , the ship with its dark hull, towering masts and bulging sails slowly approached the harbor.
Some people shouted in a language he didn't understand, and drums and trumpets sounded, echoing in the harbor.
All the Anui people looked at the approach of the giant ship with their mouths wide open, and they were so surprised.
The Anui people's fishing boats are small boats with several people sitting in them.
They row fishing in the offshore.
The sails are not too big.
No use either.
The largest sea ship they saw was Kazuto's Zhuin Ship.
Compared with these giant ships, it was only a fraction of the size.
Too bad.
Canadon shouted to bring these tribesmen back to their senses.
The sea-going ship that had been wandering outside the harbor sailed to the pier first, and more than twenty soldiers with bright armor appeared on the ship.
"Father, shall we attack?"
Kawei asked hesitantly.

Canadon smiled bitterly and shook his head.
This was the only thing about Kawei that worried him.
His ability to assess the situation was still too poor.
For a fleet of this strength, even if there were only a few dozen soldiers on each ship.
It is not something that this tribe can resist forcefully.
Using force will only make the tribe perish faster.
If we relied solely on force, this tribe would have ceased to exist long ago.
You have to weigh the pros and cons.
Yamada Hirokatsu and his two guards stared dumbfoundedly at the huge fleet approaching the harbor.
The contempt he had felt a few days ago was gone, and now there is only deep awe.
This is a huge fleet that even the Southern Barbarians have not had.
It shows the profound strength of this Akito.
Really prepared.
However, Yamada Hirokatsu, who has always been unwilling to be lonely, vaguely felt that the opportunity he was looking for might have come.
"Kavi, Yanayahi, you lead the team and wait here.
I will go to the dock to talk to the people who come.
If the people come attack me, you must not fight back.
Return to the clan immediately and lead the whole clan to defect to your father-in-law Sasi.
Headman," said Canadon.
"Father.
How could my son leave without caring about it?"
Kawei said through gritted teeth.
His father's order was an insult to the warriors of his clan.
"If I die, you are the leader of the clan, and the life and death of nearly a thousand people in the clan depend on your thoughts.
How can you act recklessly."
Canadon was furious, his beard unkempt, and he glared angrily.
The two of them knelt down hastily.
"Remember, if our clan resists forcefully, it will be doomed.
I came to ask today because I hope that Ming people will not kill indiscriminately and there is still room for maneuver.
If Ming people really kill indiscriminately, you have to stay away for the time being. , Contact other tribes to fight back together, don't be reckless," Canadon ordered.
"My child obeys your orders."
Kawei responded with tears in his eyes, holding the handle of the knife tightly in his hand.
Carnaton led ten guards towards the trestle.
"Kana Dongtou, I'll go with you."
Yamada Hirokatsu shouted from behind.
Canadon saw Yamada and the other three people coming over.
"Mr.
Yamada, Kazuto has fought with Akito.
I'm afraid it will be risky for you to go here."
Canadon mocked.
He has always disliked Kazuto and was wary of them.
"I don't know, the leader.
The Ming people have always regarded themselves as the powerful empire in the center, and they are especially good at convincing people with reason.
I believe they will not act rashly."
Yamada Hirokatsu replied with a smile.

The Chaohu docked on the trestle.
The small trestle could only accommodate one Galen for loading and unloading, so the fleet could only slowly unload one after another.
The first one to come down was one of the two newly built Thousand Corps.
Li Lu and other Thousand Corps were all kept in Jeju Island to guard against possible attacks by Japanese pirates.
For the Anui people who were not well-armed, the new Thousand Corps was already a It's enough, not to mention that it was only a garrison task at first.
As a field force that has gone through hard training, it can be said that it is easy to be promoted.
The first three hundred teams boarded the trestle one after another, and despite their fatigue, they set up defensive positions inland.
At this time, more than ten local people approached the trestle.
The soldiers of the Flying Eagle who had landed earlier stopped them and asked about their purpose.
"We are from a local tribe and would like to see Lord Commander Akito."
Canadon and Yamada bowed respectfully.
Seeing the armor of the Polu army at close range, the two of them were really dazzled.
They were all made of iron armor, and their weapons were uniform.
The soldiers had sharp eyes, watching their actions all the time.
"You wait here, we will understand after my lord lands ashore."
Fang Mao asked Fukudaoka to translate.
Yes, then just wait.
Hundreds of soldiers were seen walking towards the harbor one after another.
Any place that posed a threat to the trestle was guarded by soldiers, and the defense circle was expanded to a mile away.
The Anui people in the fishing village did not act rashly, and the Polu army did not enter the fishing village. , the two sides are now a delicate balance.
The Gaoyou Lake sailed up to the trestle and unloaded three more Hundreds.
When all the Thousands were unloaded, nearly two hours had passed.
At this time, it was already dusk.
Canadon and Yamada were told that the master would not be disembarking today and that he would summon everyone after he disembarked tomorrow.
Seeing the ships constantly handling people and baggage, as well as the nearly a thousand armored soldiers patrolling around, Carnaton had no intention of resisting.
This was a strong man that he could not handle.
He could only wait for General Mingren to reveal his intentions tomorrow. .
Carnaton, who was not a newbie in the battle formation, found that these armored soldiers strictly adhered to the formation whether walking or resting.
This was the case for nearly a thousand armored soldiers.
The dock was busy but not chaotic, indicating that the usual drills were rigorous.
Yamada's eyes lit up when he saw it.
After all, in Japan, iron armor could only be worn by big names such as the elders of various daimyo, the generals in mother's clothing, and the ashigaru generals.
As for other small and medium-sized samurai, they only used leather armor for self-defense.
The entire army was protected by iron armor.
This wise general was truly extravagant and his status must be extremely respected.
Yamada's ambitions expanded rapidly.
That night, the Polu troops who landed set up defenses and rested nearby.
It was the end of summer and it was not cold in the wild.
The soldiers lit dozens of bonfires outside the camp and at the dock.
The lights brought a long-lost vitality to the harbor. .
The soldiers of the Polu Army built a simple fence to guard the camp, and then took a good rest.
After all, the continuous sailing on the sea these days made them extremely tired.
They arrived on land today, so it was best to rest.
Zhao Lie issued an order.
In addition to ordering patrols at night, other soldiers rested to recover their strength.

The landing day passed peacefully.
Early the next morning, the second Thousand Corps Corps began to unload, and it was also one of the three Thousand Corps Corps established later.
Now there are many Hundred Corps Commanders in the camp, and the chiefs are all veterans drawn from the four Thousand Corps Corps that fought fiercely in Tieshan.
Within an hour, all the Qian Corps troops landed, and then the teams of Liao people began to land one after another.
Although the voyage was very long, they were all sailing in the northern seas.
There was no humidity and heat in the southern seas.
It was just that many people did not feel seasick.
Therefore, Only a few people in Liao died of illness, which is rare in this era.
Another half day passed, and the Liao people, shovels and other tools, some grain, cloth and other groceries disembarked from the ship.
It was already the end of the day.
The fleet did not continue to unload the people, but the Polu army began to build regular military strongholds as part of the expedition.
The foundation of the garrison here was not dealt with on the first day.
The necessary turrets and moats had to be built one by one.
The soldiers of the Polu Army were busy except for the three hundred on duty.
The Liao people will also build refugee camps with the assistance of the Polu Army.
These tasks are all familiar to them.
They have already experienced it in Jeju.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
Of course, we had to start selecting a site first.
As for the actual start of work, that would happen in two or three days.
Zhao Lie told us that we must be healthy before we can start construction.
After all, the refugees' bodies were unable to train at the same time.
Compared with the Polu Army, the Polu Army's training was arduous.
They practiced many times on the subject of building a military camp for defense immediately after marching forty miles.
After a night's rest yesterday, it was not a big problem for them now. .
As a result, Carnadon's wish to meet the Ming army general failed again.
He could only hope that the Ming general would meet him tomorrow.
This made him feel uneasy, and the future of the tribe was still uncertain.
To be continued. .
