Chapter 1309 Negotiation! As Long as You Bring Craftsmen, We Will Exchange Them for the Tribe’s Specialties!
"Buddha! This is absolutely impossible! Greedy Shantao tribe, it is impossible for the Uyizaki clan to agree to the conditions behind you!"
"Heren's leader, our great chief said! If you refuse, he will invite all five Ainu clans to hold a grand blood sacrifice!"
In the camp at the foot of Mount Fuji in Ezo, the "mountain messenger" Deer Shouhu cocked his neck and glared at the Kazuto chief in front of him, with an undisguised threat in his mouth.
"We will set up an altar, push your prisoners up, kill them all and sacrifice them to the great god! Then, the chief will invite the five Ainu clans on the entire island to raise thousands of Warriors, go south together and plunder all your tribes!
"Damn Shantao barbarian! I'll kill you!..."
"Come on! Witness the sacred deer, even if you chop off my head, I won't even frown!..."
At this moment, faced with the real threat of the Shantaru people, Yoshihiro Uyizaki blushed and became furious. He deeply understands the weight of this threat, even more clearly than the Shantaar messenger who said this threat!
If they really let the other party hold some kind of "blood sacrifice", kill the elders and retainers of the family in front of countless Ezo chiefs, and lead thousands of Ezo tribesmen southward... then the Uyizaki clan has been suppressing them for forty years, okay? It is easy to establish the rule and influence over various tribes in Ezo, but I am afraid that it will be wiped out in an instant. And the survival of the Oyizaki clan in Ezo Land will also face a life-and-death crisis like a hurricane!
The most terrifying thing is that as the initiator of the failure, Yoshihiro Uyizaki's reputation as a samurai family will be completely destroyed. At that time, when this storm has passed, let alone the inheritance rights of the head of the Uyizaki family. I'm afraid that the best outcome for him is that even if he is not forced to commit seppuku to apologize, he will still be forced to go to a temple and become a monk for the rest of his life...
"Messenger of the Shantar people! You are not only irritating our Oyizaki clan, our master Anton clan, but also Furukawa, who is in charge of the Kanto countries, and even the entire shogunate!..."
However, Uyizaki Yoshihiro is a qualified political heir. Faced with the threat from the Shantar people, his eyes instantly turned red, but he did not show any timidity. He stood up directly, like a ferocious wild boar, roaring angrily and threatening in turn.
"Damn the Shantaru people! If you really lead the Ezo people to go south and plunder the Japanese land... we will immediately seek help from our powerful allies the Nanbu clan, the main Anton clan, and the Furukawa family where my father worked! At that time, there will be thousands or even tens of thousands of samurai coming across the sea. Not only will they completely sweep the entire Ezo land and completely wipe out your Ezo allies... they will also kill you, this Shantaru who appeared out of nowhere! Kill them all and throw them into the endless northern sea..."
"Huh? The powerful Heren tribe in the south will support you and send thousands of reinforcements to sweep the entire Maoshili Island?..."
Lu Xiaohu frowned when he heard the Beiyu clansman's trembling translation. These Ainu allies were too weak when facing Kazuto, as if they were scared of being beaten. He shook his head secretly, recalled the chief's instructions, and answered seriously.
"Heren's great chief! If you can really call in thousands of tribal reinforcements and pounce on them like black bears...then we can only leave by boat to temporarily avoid your sharp claws! But you can't be scared. It won't hurt us at all. We will be as flexible as wolves and stare at you like wolves... This barren Ezo land cannot support so many tribal warriors who are good at fighting! The army cannot stay here for long..."
"As for our Ainu allies, we will temporarily take away the Beiyu clan when we leave. As for the other clans, let them be swept away by you. It has nothing to do with our tribe! ... And the ones who have to wait for several months and half a year , even after a year, when your army leaves, we will continue to go south and continue to plunder your territory!…"
"I just don't know, by that time, will the Kazuto clan in this territory still be yours?..."
"Ah! Buddha? The Shanta people will leave by boat first, and then suddenly appear again at an unknown time and go south to plunder the land of Japan? Bastard, how despicable! Ten times more despicable and shameless than the Ezo people! ... "
Hearing such an unexpected answer, Uyizaki Yoshihiro gritted his teeth and his head was buzzing with pain. When Kazuto faced the Ezo people on the big island, he always had the upper hand and would never encounter such a difficult problem.
This despicable habit of running away when unable to fight, this shameless tactics of sneak attacks in secret, are indeed the nomadic Shanta tribe! Facing the Shantao tribe that came and went like the wind, even if the Oyezaki clan paid a huge political price and summoned reinforcements from across the strait, they would not be able to solve their opponents in one go. They would only leave endless troubles and consequences...
But how could the Uyizaki family be able to get the huge ransom and many craftsmen demanded by the Shantarians? Even if you take it out this time, how can you guarantee that these greedy Shantar people will not ask for it a second time?
Yoshihiro Oyizaki took a deep breath, and after being silent for a long time, he compromised somewhat bitterly.
"Messenger of the Shantar people! Let us open our arms and talk openly and honestly with sincerity! ... We can give some of the property and livestock you want, some can give more, and some There’s really nothing I can do…”
"We can give some of the ironware, all the rice wine, and double the rice... we can only give part of the mares and cattle. As for sheep and domestic pigs, they are not available in Ezo, and the entire Ou Less. And what does "donkey" say in the conditions? I've only seen it in books, but never seen it with my own eyes. There are no donkeys in Ou... As for chickens, ducks and geese, it's easy to say. Although the temple has a ban, Ezo Land still has it. If you know how to raise them, you can even give them more..."
"In addition to these properties and livestock...it is difficult for the Oyizaki clan to come up with the craftsmen you are asking for, let alone so many! At least with my power, I cannot make such a decision. In fact, no clan has , will hand over such important craftsmen at will. These senior craftsmen are not only the most precious wealth of the castle town, but also the fruit trees that create wealth! Their status is not inferior to that of the samurai you captured, unless I use ordinary apprentices. I’m here to fool you, but you’ll know once you try these skills that they can’t be faked…”
Uyizaki Yoshihiro looked into the eyes of the Yamata messenger, his face full of sincerity. The martial arts family of Kazuto's lower class are always so pragmatic, so flexible in their bottom line, and don't take face and morality too seriously. Once they find that they cannot achieve their goals by force, they will immediately become sincere and negotiable "friends", especially in this remote Ezo land.
However, Uyizaki Yoshihiro only said that craftsmen are difficult to find, but he also mentioned apprentices, and intentionally or unintentionally did not mention the farmers in the conditions... This is to imply that the envoys of the Yamato people, apprentices and farmers can all be negotiated! Just for a separate occasion…
It's a pity that Kazuto's tactful hints and well-intentioned "winks" were completely incomprehensible to the cunning and simple deer hunter Shika Shouhu. He frowned, tugged at the braids in his hair, recalled the chief's instructions, and shook his head seriously.
"The chief has said it! None of these conditions must be missing! We all want these properties, livestock and craftsmen, and the more the better!..."
"Damn! Greedy Shantar!..."
Under the angry gaze of Yoshihiro Oyizaki, Lu Xiaohu thought for a while, then put his hand deep into his arms, and added honestly.
"The great chief also said that you as a tribe may not be able to collect so many things, but there must be channels to get these things! ... And as long as you can bring the goods, livestock and craftsmen, whether it is stolen, robbed or If you cheat...he will give you the special products of the tribe as a benefit to you..."
"Steal, rob, and lie? Damn it! You despicable Shantaru, how dare you slander our family name of the Oyizaki family! Damn it! I'm going to kill you... Huh? Huh! This is?! This is!!..."
In an instant, Uyizaki Yoshihiro opened his eyes wide. And that shining golden light was reflected in his eyes, like some kind of power that twisted people's hearts. He stared at Shantao Messenger's hand in surprise and the source of the golden light. Then, he subconsciously stretched out his palm and took a golden amulet from the other party...a heavy amulet that weighed a full kilogram and seemed to be made of gold!
"This?...This!...This weight? This hardness?...Could this be?...Could it be?!..."
"Yes! The great chief said it! This is the specialty of our tribe, the gold given to us by the great god!..."
"Ah! A full pound of gold!!..."
"My opponent! This is the sincerity given to you by the great chief! What, oh, deposit!..."
The deer cunning fox grinned, like a simple and honest moose, or like a gray wolf that stole the fox. He looked at the cunning Chief Kazuto, and was finally dazzled. Finally, with a face full of shock and greed, he fell into the hunter's trap... Only then did he seem simple and simple, and repeated the chief's conditions with a smile. But this time, when the translated words fell in the ears of Yoshihiro Uyizaki, they were no longer harsh at all, but full of mind-shaking temptation.
"Witness the great spirit! The great chief of the people! As long as you can bring the goods, livestock and craftsmen, whether it is stealing, robbing or cheating... we will not only return the captives to you, but also use the specialties of our tribe to Full gold in exchange!…”
