Chapter 110: Bitterness

The sun never sets?

Ma Gui didn't know this statement, but as a key figure in the formation of this step, he was blown by the frozen sea breeze when he landed on Kuwu Island.

His fleet was supposed to arrive at Kuwu Island in September, but was forced back by the cold before it could get close.

After all, their sergeants were all dispatched by Nanyang, and it had been a hot summer over there, and the so-called cold of Kuwu Island in September was only relatively speaking, and the five islands of Kyushu did not provide them with thick clothes to change ships, so they had to lead the fleet to report to the military department, and sent people to Tianjin Wei to buy cotton clothes and jackets.

That is, Ma Gui had the foresight, and purchased winter clothes, coal fire and other things together, and even made a special trip to transfer a batch of fur jackets from Xuanfu, otherwise he would have to be frozen back when he wore a few cotton shirts and then entered Kuwu Island.

This fleet, numbering no more than 1,000 people, waited on the five islands, and easily helped Chen Bazhi put pressure on Otomo, and by the time they actually set foot on Kuwu Island, it was already November.

The autumn wind in Beijing has not yet blown out, and the beaches along the coast of Kuwu Island have been frozen.

The natives of the island had received the news as early as two months earlier when the Ming ship was approaching, and during this time they were fully prepared to send people to wait in the humble harbor along the coast, and when they heard that the ship was returning, the leaders of the tribes and their relatives were waiting on the shore.

Ma Gui washed his body, first sent his cronies ashore to contact the local natives, and then stood on the side of the ship and looked at the flat coast full of birch and fir trees in the distance, and ordered the fleet to dock in port.

Li Ruzhang, who was dispatched by Chen Bazhi from Wudao to assist Ma Gui in resetting the three guards, stood on the bow of the ship, searched for a moment on the shore, turned his head and hooked the corners of his mouth, and said to Ma Gui: "Here, Nikan Wailan." ”

Ma Gui laughed when he heard this name and said, "You sent someone to find him in North Korea?" ”

This Nikan Wailan, Ma Gui is impressed.

At the beginning, he had just been sent to Xuanfu by the old governor Ma Fang, and Li Rubai came, including the Korean general Yi Sunsin, who is now on the same boat, and then there was an uninvited Nikan Wailan who came to give gifts.

Nikan Wailan, the Tulun city lord, left a deep impression on Chen Mu, and he was also a mythical figure in the Zhenshuo General's Mansion, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and gave a big gift that no one else could match, and he retired without saying a word.

Ma Gui didn't expect Li Ruzhang to find him.

Li Ruzhang said with a smile: "Wailang is not a big man in the Jurchen tribes, but he has a good relationship with the border army generals, and he will be honest in giving gifts. ”

"I heard your brother say before that he wants to be a Ming general, and he looks down on his compatriots, and even the leaders of the tribes don't respect him, and his words will be called barbarians." Ma Gui didn't look down on such a person in his heart, and said: "Ruthless and unrighteous people." ”

"It's not ruthless and unrighteous, he just wants to rely on the border army and be the lord of Jianzhou, and he feels that he is one level higher than others, which can be seen from the name."

Li Ruzhang explained with a smile: "His surname is Tong Jia, his real name is Bukulu, and he was later changed to Nikan Wailan, Nikan is the meaning of the Han people in the south, and Wailang is the official name, such as the secretary, which means the Han people's adjutant, this is the ambition of the people, and it is above board." ”

Ma Gui was noncommittal, and finally got off the boat, and met Nikan Wailang on the shore, saluted respectfully, observed the words and did not see Chen Mu's figure, and greeted Ma Gui and the others in fluent Chinese, and then asked with a smile: "Chen Ye is all healthy in Nanyang, I heard that it is hot over there, and this food is ...... Ah. ”

With a hot face and a cold buttocks, Ma Gui didn't care about others at all, but there was Li Ruzhang next to him, and he intercepted the words with a smile: "I'll send a letter to Chen Shuai to convey your concern, come, I'll show you the way." ”

Li Ruzhang pulled Nikan Wailang out two steps and whispered: "Get a few fur dog kidneys, Chen Shuai doesn't have a son yet." ”

While speaking, Li Ruzhang patted Wailang's chest with the back of his hand very closely, squeezing his eyebrows.

This news made Nikan Wailang like a treasure, and he bowed and bowed, but was interrupted by Li Ruzhang: "Don't gossip yet, how about explaining your business?" ”

Ma Gui watched Li Ruzhang and Nikan Wailang fight hotly, and turned his head to look away without being out of sight and out of mind - more than ten horses were brought by Nikan Wailang from Jianzhou a hundred steps away, and next to them were the local leaders and family members of Kuwu Island.

Although the two groups of people have different faces and postures, they gather in one place to talk and laugh softly, but the communication is very smooth, and they have the same language.

The aborigines of Kuwu Island belong to the three major parts of the East China Sea, which is commonly known as the Savage Jurchen, and is the descendant of the Black Water Eagle, because they are overseas, they are also called Kuyi people, and they are also made into Ezo people by Japan.

The biggest difference between the Kuwu tribe and the three major Jurchens is that they are relatively short in stature, hairy in body, and even women have beard marks on the side of their mouths, let alone men.

The port they are in used to be set up by the Ming army in the Yongle period, and then Nuergandusi was abandoned, but the port was not abandoned, there were many canoes parked on the edge, and the Kuwu people on the island relied on the Heilongjiang River on the other side of the strait.

The Heilongjiang River in this era was very long, because there was no river basin outside the country, it was twice as long as later, and the eastern estuary was on the other side of Kuwu Island.

Far away, there are villages surrounded by birch forests, the island is large but sparsely populated, and the settlements are also not large, not to mention that they are similar to the living habits of the beggar maze, and they live in the wild in summer, only enter the houses when the weather is cold, and there is a lack of livestock, but there are people riding deer.

In addition to the deer, only dogs are the most among the six animals, and this realm is no longer the world of pastoral dogs, and the dogs here are sled dogs.

With Li Ruzhang's kind mention, Nikan Wailang also obviously felt Ma Gui's impatience, and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, the little master is done, before leaving, the master gave the court documents in the lower court, rebuild two acropolises and set up three guards on Kuwu Island, the savage Jurchen is just and greedy, send some goods, not to mention the repair of two acropolis, even the other side of the Ha'er barbarian guard can be repaired!" ”

Hearing Nikan Wailang say this, Ma Gui's drooping face finally slowly bowed, and he looked at Nikan Wailang squarely.

This small action was like a great encouragement to Nikan Wailang, and then he looked back and signaled to the leader of the Kuwu tribe, and said to Ma Gui and the others with a flattering look: "The savage Jurchen tribute has to pass through Jianzhou, and its people are barbaric and do not know the king, and the two ministries pay tribute every year, only the savages only pay tribute once in three years, not to mention that it is not the turn of the Kuwu department, they lack everything." ”

"As long as the Lord of Liaoyang speaks, they are allowed to sell goods once a year and bring back some daily use, and they will be able to build a wooden village from Xi'er Hawei's hometown immediately."

Li Ruzhang smiled, realizing that his mission had been accomplished, but he was going to respond but was taken over by Ma Gui.

Ma Gui is really ruthless, don't care about the fact that he doesn't look down on Nikan Wailang in his heart, but he has the meaning of praising Nikan Wailan, and said: "This matter is important, only the most loyal people in Fushun Ma City can be allowed, and this matter still needs to be asked Chen Shuai." ”

As he spoke, Ma Gui looked at Li Ruzhang, casually raised his hand and pointed to the seaside not far away, and said, "This is overseas." ”
