Chapter 1479 I Wish to Be the Naginata of the Lord God!

"Luosanda, there is no shadow about the Deer Division. Let's put it aside for now. The old grandmother of Yamabe is not only our marriage ally, but also the spiritual leader of the more than 10,000 mountain tribes on the ice and snow island. She is a true man of her word. Old Shaman! Now that she has spoken, it means that Shanbe who has experienced the White Disaster has made a decision. How many Shanbes does she want to move southward?

"Senior Zuwaro, when I went to Yamabe to get married, I had a good talk with my old grandmother several times. This old shaman really means what he says, and he also has some magic power and foresight!..."

Luosanda lowered his eyes slightly, thinking of the pungent deer blood wine and the conversations that happened after drinking, just like the divination after inhaling the smoke, full of mystery and distant illusions. He pressed his heart hard and silently recited the name of the Lord God before continuing seriously.

"Witness the Lord God! I think what Yamabe means is that we don't know what winter will be like this year. Just based on last year's snow disaster and the shrinkage of the deer herd, the population that cannot be supported by each department... probably thousands of people will have to migrate south first. , go to the south to find a way to survive!”

"Thousands of people?...Hmm...How exactly do you want to relocate? How do you want us to help?..."

"Witness the Lord God! My old grandmother and I have discussed two plans, and we need you to make the decision... The first plan was proposed by the Shan tribe, and it is also their most common one, 'big tent migration'. It is the negotiation between the leaders of each tribe. , select two tribes with hundreds of people and give up the original Hunting grounds, pastures and camps became migrating "big tents". Then, these "big tent" tribesmen sailed south in the fleet of our "Brother Haibu" to find new "hunting grounds" on the big island... Oh. ! They will also convert to the Lord God, this is the most basic condition..."

"During the 'big tent migration', we only need to provide ships and provide food for half a month, and then tell the two 'big tents' going south that there are weak tribes nearby that can be plundered... Then, the 'big tents' will Mobilize your own tribe, loot the surrounding small tribes, annex the territory and hunting grounds, and snatch back enough supplies to survive..."

"After the 'big tent' has robbed enough food and food, and annexed a large enough hunting ground, it will choose a 'good place', officially fix the migration 'big tent', turn it into a tribal camp, and start stocking During the robbery, they will give us a portion of the spoils and hatchets as a reward for helping the two 'big tents' go south. They are also willing to follow us and participate in our robbery, and then send troops and harvest according to the situation. , distribute the spoils…”

As soon as this plan was opened, it was full of the smell of blood frozen into ice, and full of the cruelty of the extreme northern snowfields. Zuvalo frowned when he heard this. He had personally participated in the two thousand-mile sleigh run in the mountains and knew the fighting power of these sleigh tribes! As long as the migrating Yamabe can come ashore and establish a foothold, it will definitely not be comparable to the Ainu people on the big island!

With more than a thousand mountain tribes migrating south, they may be able to draw more than 300 archery warriors, enough to defeat thousands of Ainu warriors head-on. And if it comes to winter, and these archery mountaineers are allowed to ride on dog sleds, with the blessing of fast movement... Then the Ainu tribes hundreds of miles around, such as Ishikari, Saihara, and Higashihara, will only be plundered. Just an object! Even Kazuto's spear warriors were just targets surrounded by arrows!

"The big tents move around, plundering everywhere, and sharing the spoils of plundering?... This is to put the wolves in the northern snowfields into the deer herds on Maoshili Island! But the Ainu tribes on Maoshili Island all They are potential believers of the Lord God, and as long as we have enough strength, we can gradually integrate the 'Jiaoren branch'..."

After thinking for a moment, Zuvalo shook his head. He has long regarded the island of Mohili and the hundreds of thousands of Ainu tribes as the "basic base of the main god." He also doesn't need any "tattered trophies" from his mountain allies going south. Because he can obtain more and better supplies of goods through the "gold trade" in the south!

You know, the Ainu tribes on the large island of Moshiri are all very poor and can only produce some furs and coal. The only ones worth plundering were the Kazuto clan in the southernmost Heren land. But he finally managed to open up the trade channel with Kazuto, and was able to use "worthless gold" to stably obtain the craftsman population in Kazuto's hinterland. If we turn against each other and plunder now, wouldn’t all this hard work be in vain?

And even if the entire Kazuto land is captured and a small territory is gained, it is not worth it if the window for gold trade with the southern Kazuto is lost. What's more, if "Shan Tao goes south in a big way" and attracts the expeditionary army of Kazuto Chief 'General', it will be another big trouble! The current situation is far from timely...

"Lathander, when they migrate to the mountains of the big island, they can't just kill or rob like they did in the northern snowfields, shooting arrows and wielding swords with their heads down... They must convert to the Lord God and obey the command of the kingdom! Their force must be It becomes the guarantee for the kingdom to manage the island of Mausili, and cannot become an uncontrolled pack of wolves that bites randomly..."

Zuvalo looked solemn and firmly rejected the first plan of Grandma Yamabe. Then, he looked at Lathander and asked solemnly.

"Witness the Lord God! What about the second option? I think the second option you talked about should be more beneficial to the kingdom and the future of the Lord God and the people!"

"Yes! Senior Zuvalo, I did put forward different suggestions to the old grandmother and discussed the second option... And the reason why I praised the old grandmother for her long-term vision is precisely because she was able to accept the second option. A plan to further integrate Yamabe into us..."

Lathander hammered her chest, and with an excited expression, she came up with another way to move south.

"God bless you! The second method is called 'dividing tents and creating tribes'! That is, there are more than ten or twenty mountain tribes. In each tribe, the 'several tents' that cannot be fed are taken out, that is, dozens of tribes." 'Yuding, women and children' are all left to our 'Brother Haibu' to survive and obey our commands..."

"In other words, the more than a thousand people who were separated became members of our 'Haibu' and established a deeper blood relationship... And in return for the 'divided account' of each department, we must provide for the people who were separated and joined. Each 'account' gives a sufficient return to the original tribe, whether it is salt, food, wine, weapons, armor..."

"In addition, we cannot regard the 'tents' that we have joined as slaves of the Haibu or as firewood for war. They must be regarded as brothers and relatives! If these 'tents' are not full to eat and are dissatisfied, they can also repay the debt. After paying the price we paid, they returned to their original mountain tribes, and we cannot stop them..."

"...! 'Dividing tribes', joining the kingdom as brothers and kin? We have to give rewards for joining, and the tribes that join still maintain some potential autonomy?..."

Upon hearing this second option, Zuvalo's eyes lit up and he remained silent. Yamabe's grandmother was always so straightforward.

Of these two migration plans, the first one is to 'be friends and go robberies together', and the second one is to 'be a family and recognize the kingdom as a wolf'. As for the third type that has not been spoken but is vaguely hinted at, the result of not allowing the mountain tribe to move south to seek a living is probably to 'become an enemy and seize the kingdom's camp for the winter'!

Putting these three plans together, there is no doubt that Zuwaro will choose to "become a family member", further absorb the mountain tribesmen, and expand his power. Even if the kingdom has to pay more material costs for these added "tents", which in Yamabe's view is astonishing!

"Okay! Lathander, just choose 'Divide the Ding' and be willing to join the kingdom's mountain tribes. The more the better! Wait until next spring, you will replace me, bring supplies, and finalize the exchange with the old grandmother. The first batch of people to move south. As for the supplies that these "tents" are asking for, I, Zuwaro, will take them on my shoulders and get them from Heren in the south..."

"Blessed by the Lord God! As long as more than a thousand mountain tribes join the camp in Huataigang... Then we can establish a second herding and farming stronghold in the northern valley of the peninsula!... And there are more The tribal warriors can also go further to pressure and integrate the Ainu tribes... The Ishikari clan, which controls coal, should hand over the daughters of several tribal chiefs and marry you, the young priest! Haha!

Thinking of this, Zuvalo smiled and patted Lathander heavily on the shoulder. When he heard that his senior wanted to "give him a wife", Luosanda's smile suddenly froze, and his face was very wonderful.

Archpriest Zuvaro has gone ashore and reached the pinnacle, becoming the general person in charge of the Xihai Diocese. He no longer needs to think about "progress". But he, Lathander, was still the chief priest, and he still wanted to "progress" in the kingdom! Would such a wife from the Xihai tribe be of any help to his upward path in the kingdom? He is not like the senior who is greedy for beauty...

Unless, like Zuvalo, he completely stays in the Xihai Continent, joins the broadest and most remote Xihai Diocese, and never returns. And perhaps, this is also the unspoken expectation of Zuvalo...

"Ahem! Senior Zuvalo, we will talk about the intermarriage with the local tribe later...Chief Priest Chimel, let me say hello to you! He also asked me to bring back an 'important person' who will help the kingdom in peace. Further layout..."

"? Important person? Arrangements by Chief Priest Chimel?..."

"That's right! A devout priest who has converted to the Lord God, and a noble nobleman of divine descent among men!..."

"Huh?! We actually have Kazuto's divine nobles in our hands?!..."

"Yes! He has converted to the Lord God and has passed the inquiry and test of Shenyan. He should not be lying...Chief Priest Chimel nodded and confirmed the layout. Anyway, it is an upfront investment of one hundred kilograms of gold. It doesn’t matter if it’s floating, but if it can really spread the faith of the Lord God and bury a fulcrum in the hinterland of Heren, it will be a great deal..."

"?!..."

Looking at Zuvalo who looked surprised, Priest Lathander smiled, turned his head and shouted to the warriors on the boat.

"'The grand temple surrounded by flying snakes'...Ryuzoji Iehiro! Come here and meet the chief priest Zuwaro!..."

"Hi!"

Upon hearing the call, Masumi Watanabe, the former monk soldier, and Iehiro Ryuzoji, the current chief priest, strode forward wearing the white robe of a low-level priest. Then, he knelt down with a "pop" sound, put his hands on the deck, exposed eight fingers, and kowtowed three times. And when he raised his head, he revealed the main god hummingbird on his forehead, a physical and mental mark that could never be erased. Then, in proficient Mexican, he shouted back.

"The first-level chief priest, Ryuzoji Iehiro, pays homage to the rector of Xihai Parish, the chief priest Zuwaro!"

"I beg the chief priest to give me a decree to allow me to return to the Western Kyushu with the fire of the Lord God and the 'golden light' of faith!"

"Witness the Lord God! I, Ryuzoji Iehiro, swear by the ancestors of the Mizue clan! As long as I can regain my position as the head of the family with the support of the 'Kingdom of the Lord God'... the Ryuzoji clan of Hizen's 20,000 koku will surely be completely destroyed. Take refuge in the Lord God, build the shrine of your ancestors, worship the Lord God’s hummingbird, and make the Lord God’s sharpest naginata…”
