Chapter 457
What made Guigudal the most headache was of course the big ship parked by the river.
The ship was too big and too high, and it looked like a city wall, so it seemed difficult to climb it.
If the population is lost too much, even if you grab food and salt, it will be more than worth the loss for the Guigudal tribe, which is almost at a loss.
"Sony." Guigudal whispered: "When you first said, how many of them are there?"
"When I caught the slave, I counted it, and there were 31 people in total." The man named Sony replied: "If the slave had even trapped them, they would not stay on the boat. Even if half of the remaining ones were left, the total number would be only 60. We can do it with 30 people!"
The name Sony means clever in the erotic language, and this guy is indeed very clever.
In fact, he deliberately asked Zhang Shun to catch it two days ago, with the purpose of finding out how many people from outside came from the sea this time and how many good things he brought.
He felt that as long as he was more respectful and expressed his willingness to trade with mink and ginseng, those outsiders would definitely release him.
As expected, Sony achieved his entire purpose and led Guigudal and his three hundred dynasties to the target.
However, his master, after seeing the big ship, did not dare to attack.
"How are you going to board that ship?" Guigudal continued, "We don't have a ladder!"
"Use a lasso! Let's get on together and you will be able to get on soon!"
"How many people will die?"
"If there is a archer suppression..., change one, right?" Sony hesitated a little when he talked about this question.
Sixty people died, this is not a loss that the current clan can easily bear.
"It's a loss to change one!"
The clan leader thought for a while and finally made up his mind to say:
"Sony, you take people out and trade them with marten and ginseng! Don't bargain too much, it doesn't matter if they make a little profit, but you must trade on the shore. Let's kill all the shore first, and then rush off the boat with the flow!"
"Yeah!" Sony immediately agreed: "Master is wise!"
"Of course! Otherwise, why are you the master and you are just a slave?"
...
Zhu Gui pointed to the shore, carried fur and carried a basket of raw Tartars, and said to Zhang Shun:
"They are here."
Zhang Shun and his crew immediately climbed on the side of the ship and looked down.
"How many people? How many people?" Some crew members couldn't wait to ask.
Everyone knows that there will definitely be a war this time, so before the war, we naturally need to see how many enemies there are.
The crew members had a good eye for a long time and finally came to the conclusion:
"Not only one hundred strong men!"
"There are many people. If we count as half of the people who are ambushing, they will have at least two hundred people this time." Zhu Wu analyzed.
"Maybe more, but it doesn't matter. They brought ginseng minks to trade, but they didn't have the confidence to defeat us directly, maybe they were still hoping to lead us down and hit us on the ground?"
Zhang Shun smiled and said:
"But what can that happen? A group of birth Tartars clustered with stone arrows are just seeking death."
"I will act as planned later. I will bring people to trade with them and prepare whaling cannons. If they rush out, they will give them a round of arrows first!"
The whale fork removes the rope and is just an arrow-shaped shell. The Ministry of War does not like this because it is not very lethal.
However, the visual effect of whaling forks on the human body is very terrifying, and it is very obvious that this kind of thing weakens morale for unsightly enemies.
"No problem, leave it to me." Zhu Wu replied confidently.
...
Zhang Shun personally led a team of twenty people off the ship to trade with Sony.
Looking at the people he brought, Sony felt a palpitation for no reason, because last time he saw thirty people, only twenty people this time, and now at least ten people stayed on the boat and didn't get off.
Then it is very likely that this group of people outside are wary of themselves.
"The person outside, I am Sony from the Guigudal tribe, we have met."
Sony said in the sage:
"As agreed before, I brought mink and ginseng to exchange for your salt."
The Han people used to call all fishing and hunting ethnic groups in Liaodong the Jurchens. Those who defected to the Jin Dynasty to half-cultivate and half-cropped on the plains were the mature Jurchens.
The one who is still hunting and fishing in the old forest is the birth of the Jurchens.
In the eyes of Han people, there is really little difference between having a mature Jurchen and a Jurchen.
But in the eyes of these "Juchens" themselves, the differences between tribes are still very obvious.
In fact, the so-called birth of Jurchens alone have dozens of clans from more than a dozen ethnic groups. The relationship between them is so complicated that even the mature Jurchens are a little confused.
For example, the Nifhe people, the bitter people, the tiger-beating people, the Tungus people, the Orton people, as well as the Hezhen people, the Shiwei people and other ethnic groups (to avoid suspicion, these ethnic groups try to use the ancient names. If you are interested, you can search for them by yourself to see who they refer to).
Their customs and production levels are not consistent. Some are already semi-agricultural peoples, and some are still hunting in the mountains and forests for a living.
Bomu Boguoer once united most of the birth of Jurchens into a loose tribal alliance, but after Bomu Boguoer died, the alliance disintegrated again.
The ethnic groups outside the forest, including the Han people, the Zhen Jurchens, the Goryeo, etc., collectively call them the Jurchens or the Saurons, while they in turn call the Han people, the Jurchens and other ethnic groups "outsiders".
Just as people outside look down on Sauron, the Jurchens are full of hatred for people outside.
However, transactions are transactions. The ginseng, mink fur and Zhang Shun's whale meat and salt brought by Soren are all goods that both parties are eager to get.
Therefore, the transaction went very smoothly. If it weren't for knowing that there must be more good things on the ship, Sony would think it would be better to have a peaceful trade this time.
"This way, the transaction is completed." Zhang Shun said with a smile: "I still have a lot of whale meat and salt on my boat. You can notify people from other nearby tribes to come for trade. I will not rush to leave these days."
"It's better to give those things to us directly." Sony said with a smile: "We are friends. According to our rules, when friends exchange everything should be exchanged for each other. How can you save so many things?"
"Ah? Do you have such rules?" Zhang Shun asked in surprise.
“Yes, there are.”
As Sony finished speaking, the Jurchens behind him howled together. The alert Qiren and Jurchens each took out their weapons to confront each other, and more Jurchens began to emerge from the forest not far away.
"Friends, don't make things difficult for me. I won't kill you, just your stuff." Seeing that his own people came out, Sony smiled even more happily: "Of course, I have to ask you and your people to help us do some work. It won't take too long to do it for a lifetime."
"Thank you for your reminder."
Sony didn't expect that Zhang Shun smiled sincerely:
Chapter completed!
