I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Based on Ogata's three-legged cat Ainu language, he couldn't understand what they were talking about at all.

Ogata looked around, looking for someone who could speak Japanese and could help him explain what Chepuk village chief was doing.

Coincidentally, Ogata found it immediately.

Not far from Ogata, a middle-aged man was standing.

Ogata recognized the middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man just visited Ogata and the others with Chepke this morning, serving as Chepke's interpreter.

Ogata walked quickly and asked the middle-aged man what happened.

The middle-aged man first said hello respectfully to Ogata, who had shown great kindness to their village, and then briefly explained why so many villagers surrounded Chepke.

"He Yezhe?" Ogata cast a puzzled look at the middle-aged man.

After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation just now, Ogata finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that Chepke planned to lead the whole village to join Heyezhe for the safety and future of the village.

Chepke informed the whole village of the news just now.

Now those villagers around Chepke are all people who are opposed to surrendering to Heyezhe, and they are loudly shouting their demands of "anti-submission" to Chepke.

"Where is He Yezhe?" Ogata asked the middle-aged man, "Is it the name of a village?"

"Heye Zhe, you are right if you say it is a village." The middle-aged man said in somewhat substandard Japanese, "A long time ago, the climate in the north suddenly became harsh."

"The climate is too bad to live in."

"So a group of Ainu compatriots living in the north went south to find a new residence."

"After going south, they found a large wall made of wood left by the white men."

"This wall made of wood just forms a circle."

"So they lived in the circle formed by the wooden wall and settled down there."

"After living inside that wooden enclosure, they named their brand new home Heyezhe."

"I remember that He Yezhe is quite famous among you and people. Those war merchants who always come to our village to trade with us always talk about He Yezhe."

"But you and others don't call that place Heyezhe, but call it Red Moon Fortress."

After the middle-aged man's voice fell, Ogata's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"Excuse me, can you tell me more about the Red Moon Fortress, no, about He Yezhe?" Ogata said.

In the past few days, I really appreciate everyone's cooperation and support. From the day before yesterday to today, for a total of 3 days, this book has been ranked No. 2 in the best-selling list in the light novel area, and it even directly ranked No. 10 on the website's best-selling list the day before yesterday [-], the subject matter of this book is so small, it is really inconceivable that such a result can be achieved.

This kind of achievement is unlikely to be maintained for a long time, and these few days should be regarded as the peak of this book's achievements.

Thank you all!

Chapter 493 "The head of Ogata Yasushi must be beheaded!" [8800 words]

"I don't know much about Heyezhe either," said the middle-aged man. "I only know that the people who established Heyezhe are a group of Ainu compatriots who came down from the north to the south due to sudden climate changes."

"Then after they established Heyezhe, they often accept other compatriots who also lost their homes due to various reasons to live in Heyezhe."

"As far as I know, Heyezhen has more than 1000 people now,"

Do you often accept other compatriots?Why does it sound like a shelter?

After muttering such a sentence in his heart, Ogata asked:

"I heard that the people of Heyezhe have muskets. Is this true? How did they get these muskets?"

"Yes. It's true." The middle-aged man nodded, "But the muskets they used are very different from the muskets used by the white-skinned man last night."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man let out a long sigh.

"The muskets owned by He Yezhe's men are not as powerful as the muskets used by those white-skinned men last night. The range is not that far, and the accuracy is very poor."

"How they got those muskets I don't know."

The middle-aged man smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Heyezhe's people have never told anyone how they got these muskets."

For the Ainu who are still in the tribal civilization, there will naturally be no "democracy".

The various administrative powers of Qina Village are tightly held in the hands of several people headed by Chepke.

Now that the "ruling group" headed by Chepke has decided to join Heyezhe, it is useless for the people in the village to oppose it.

Moreover, there are not many people who oppose joining Heyezhe.

The vast majority of people either support attachment, or they don't care about this kind of thing.

After getting rid of the villagers who opposed the surrender and tried their best to persuade Chepke not to surrender, Chepke approached Manaker.

"Manakr, the village will entrust you to you these days when I'm not in the village."

Chepke planned to take several "senior officials" of the village and some young men in charge of guards, and leave tomorrow morning on a dog sled.

"Yeah." Manacre nodded, "Is your injury okay?"

The injury Manaker mentioned naturally refers to the left shoulder that was cut by the white-skinned man last night.

"It's okay." Chepke touched his left shoulder, "Although it still hurts, it's not a serious problem."

"It's good that there is no serious problem. Anyway, you have to be careful along the way."

After exhorting Chepke a few more words, Manakleton nodded.

Then said:

"By the way, Chepke, before you leave, I want to ask you. How can we repay Mashima Goro and the others?"

A look of helplessness appeared on Manaker's face.

"Mashima Goro is different from that Scruucci."

"The kindness we received from Mashima Goro last night was much greater than that of Scruucci."

"If we just treat us with good food and drink, we don't feel worthy of Mashima Goro's kindness to us."

"That's true." Chepke said softly, "Without Goro Mashima, what would our village be like? I can't even imagine what it would be like."

"Such a great kindness must not be repaid quickly."

"I can only repay you little by little"

Speaking of this, Chepke paused and remained silent.

After the silence, he asked Manaker back:

"Mashima Goro and the others are looking around for someone?"

"Well, there is such a thing." Manacre nodded, "The two of them are looking for two Kazutos. After they arrived in our village yesterday, they asked the villagers if they had seen the one they were looking for. 2 and people."

"I was asked by them yesterday."

Manaker was one of the small number of villagers who were consulted by Ogata and the others yesterday.

"The two Kazuto they are looking for, one is a middle-aged man and the other is a young man."

After Manaker's words fell, Chepke pondered for a while.

"Since Mashima Goro and the others are looking for someone now, we can try to repay them in this regard"

Matsumae Domain, Matsumae Castle

Some time ago, after holding a reception banquet for the generals of the feudal clans, Matsudaira Sadanobu asked the generals of the various feudal armies to return to their respective armies, reorganize the army, and prepare for battle at any time.

There were only 2 people left: the general of the Aizu Army, Gamo Ryoyuki, and the general of the Sendai Army, Tenmoku Saemon.

The troops of the Aizu Army and the Sendai Army accounted for more than half of the "Northeast Allied Army".

Therefore, Gamo and Sheng Tianmu are considered to be generals in the army, second only to Inamori, the general of the army.

In any case, it is impossible to convene a military meeting to bypass these two generals who commanded 2 troops and 2000 troops respectively.

Therefore, the reason why Matsudaira Sadanobu kept the two of them was to discuss with these two senior generals whose status in the army was second only to Inamori's future march.

Gamo, Sheng Tianmu and the others lived in Songqian City these days.

Gamo is quieter and taciturn.

And Sheng Tianmu seems to be the opposite of Gamo, with a very active temper.If you don't practice hundreds of rounds every day, you don't want to give up.

Since some time ago, in a certain corner of Matsumae Castle, passionate shouts can be heard every day.

"Qiuyue! I'm coming!"

Sheng Tianmu let out a heroic shout, and then stabbed Qiuyue in front of him forcefully with his gun.

If Ogata had been present, he would have recognized that the man who confronted Kazuo Tianmu was none other than Akizuki Rizen, one of the "Seven Spears of Immortal Prefecture" with whom he had previously fought at the Baosheng Sword Gym.

"Let the horse come here!" Qiuyue shouted with a momentum not inferior to that of Sheng Tianmu.

The guns in the hands of the two turned into phantoms, striking each other in mid-air.

Whether they are born with Tianmu or Qiuyue, they are all armored and dressed in a full set of armor.

Both of them were wearing armors of almost the same style, and the armors were mainly in red and black.

The armor is covered with a hip-length haori that is also mainly red and black.

The reason for this is that the lord of the Sendai Domain is a person who is also very passionate about clothing.

He thinks that if the armor styles and colors of the seven members of "Xianzhou Seven Guns" are different, then if the seven of them stand in a row, they will not be good-looking or imposing enough.

Therefore, the lord of the Sendai Domain specially spent money to tailor-made the seven people of "Xianzhou Qiben Gun" with the same style of armor and feather weaving mainly in red and black.

Shengtianmu and Qiuyue are both "tall people" whose height far exceeds the average of this era.

Sheng Tianmu is over 1 meters tall, and Qiuyue's height directly exceeds 8 meters.

The contest between the two of them, in the eyes of outsiders, looked like a pair of giants fighting.

"Qiuyue! Tighten your waist!"

While exchanging offense and defense with Qiuyue fiercely, Sheng Tianmu, a 43-year-old veteran, did not forget to mention Qiuyue.

"Yes!" Qiuyue echoed loudly.

Because it was just for a contest, neither Shengtianmu nor Qiuyue could use Zhenqiang, but a wooden spear with a white cloth wrapped around the tip.

Sheng Tianmu's marksmanship can be described in one word as "extremely brutal".

He swung the gun in his hand with a rough movement.A storm-like onslaught was launched against Qiuyue.

The spear skill that Sheng Tianmu learns is "farming style".

Although it has such a weird name, it is an ancient spear technique with extremely high practical value.

It's a pity that since the "Treasure Institute Style Spear Technique" was born, the "Changtian Style" failed to compete with the "Treasure Institute Style Spear Technique" due to various reasons, and gradually declined.

In addition to using the "farming style" gun technique, Sheng Tianmu also incorporated many special gun skills into actual combat.

The actual combat skills he used can be regarded as precious skills passed down from generation to generation in their family.

The ancestor of Shengtianmu was a general who made many achievements on the battlefield in the Warring States Period 200 years ago.

He was awarded a salary of 4000 shi for his great military exploits, and his descendants have been shadowed to this day.

The ancestor Shengtianmu learned a set of gun skills on the battlefield, in countless battles, and from the duel between life and death.

The ancestors of Shengtianmu named this set of spear-wielding skills "Shengtianmu Killing Method".

It is undoubtedly a technique born on the battlefield.Needless to say how high the actual combat value is.

The "Sheng Tianmu Killing Method" has been successfully passed down from generation to generation, and then perfectly inherited and mastered by Sheng Tianmu.

If you use one sentence to describe what kind of technique the "Shengtianmu Killing Method" is, it is the technique that allows the gun to hit the opponent's neck, inner thigh and armpit flexibly and quickly.

This is the secret of killing the enemy that the ancestors of Shengtianmu learned after going through one bloody battle after another in the Warring States Period:

On the battlefield, because you often have to face enemies wearing armor, the best places to attack are troops that cannot be protected by armor such as the neck, inner thighs, and underarms.

In response to the secret of killing the enemy that he had comprehended, the ancestors of Shengtianmu created the "Shengtianmu Killing Method".

At the beginning, Qiuyue was able to make a half-fifty match with Sheng Tianmu.

But as time passed, Qiuyue was gradually suppressed by Sheng Tianmu.
