Chapter 38 The Ainu will never be slaves
This was a baptism for every officer and soldier present, allowing them to fully understand what the eight bright red words "discipline, responsibility, sacrifice, dedication" mean on the police academy playground.
Zhao Hao also changed into a police robe and saluted the soldiers of Zhenyuan Island Water Police Station. After getting off the ship, he shook hands with 100 officers and soldiers, including the auxiliary police of Li Chao, one by one. This was a treatment that none of the officers and soldiers of the water police station had before.
Then, he stood in front of the Poruo and delivered a highly infectious speech to the one hundred soldiers.
"What am I here for? I'm here to report to you. Our test fleet set sail from Chengshan Port from the third day of this month. It took twenty days and took three thousand miles to complete all test subjects. Now, I proudly announce on Zhenyuan Island, which is 4,000 miles away from the Jiangnan Shipyard, that the three new warships have passed the acceptance and are allowed to be put into service!"
The coast guards on Zhenyuan Island were filled with tears and applauded desperately.
The wet sea breeze in the Jinqing Strait blew the flags of the security area at the top of the basin, which was "the sun and the moon shine together in the East China Sea" and danced.
Mr. Zhao's powerful voice echoed in the soldiers' ears.
"This means that at this time next year, our yard can use oak produced in Ainu Island to build our main warships! We can finally have warships that compete with European powers! This is the meaning of your garrison here! It is with your protection that we have the conditions to build a fleet that dominates the seven seas!"
Warm applause sounded again, and many officers and soldiers secretly wiped their tears. These were tears released, although they voluntarily signed up to Zhenyuan Island. In order to encourage them, the security area also stipulated that serving here for one year is calculated as two years of police age, and the points you get doubled, and the island guarding period must be rotated if it is no more than two years.
But no one expected that life here would be too difficult. Standing on the lonely island, looking around, there was nothing but sea water around, and no one could see it.
However, the officers and soldiers were very nervous. They were patrolling day and night and did not dare to relax, for fear that if they were lazy, they would be touched by the pirates who were in the Jinqing Strait... Just because of their slightest people, even if they had a bastion to defend, they could last until reinforcements arrived?
In the hard years, finding the meaning of doing things is the most meaningful thing. This can greatly increase the threshold of their patience and even turn pain into strength.
"Here, I solemnly promise you that on the day the first main battleship is served in the future, you will all be on the ship and write a glory that has been famous in history on the most powerful warship in the security area!" Mr. Zhao continued to say with deep affection: "When you look back on these difficult years, you will definitely thank it for your gift to you, because it has turned you into stronger warriors!"
The police officers proudly raised their chests, and were deeply inspired...
"I can also reveal to you in advance that Ainu Island not only has wood, but also rich silver mines, coal and other resources; vast fertile land; excellent horse farms; and animal husbandry bases that can provide sufficient meat, milk and leather for the entire security area and even the people of Jiangnan! In short, this fertile soil is the driving force for our Jiangnan Group to take off! We must keep it firmly in our hands!"
Zhao Hao waved his right hand vigorously, and the powerful voice made all the coast guards fight with great enthusiasm and shouted in unison:
"Defend the Strait to the death and defend Ainu Island!"
Even the auxiliary police of Li Dynasty shouted, and the voice was louder than that of the Ming Dynasty police officers.
Chezhuzi is one of them. His brown hat and helmet was inlaid with a thick red bar, indicating his identity as an auxiliary policeman.
Although the ranks of auxiliary police and formal police officers cannot be compared with each other, all the auxiliary police officers of Li Chao are under his control on a daily basis, which is considered to be quite powerful. It is precisely under his indoctrination day after day that these auxiliary police officers of Li Chao are so fanatic.
Of course, Che Zhuzi has selfish intentions. He was originally a supervisor of the labor reform team in Xingang City. Later, the security district came to the city to recruit auxiliary police officers and recruited Li Chao untouchables. Those who have served the city for two years, performed well and had management experience can directly become overseas employees of the group and completely get rid of the untouchables. He signed up without hesitation.
When he graduated from the training team in the security area, he heard that he would come to serve on the most remote Zhenyuan Island, and after three years, he could directly become a formal employee.
Becoming a formal employee of Jiangnan Group is Che Zhuzi’s biggest dream in his life. Because formal employees can be naturalized as the Ming Dynasty and allow their children to enjoy the best education in the Celestial Empire!
Che Zhuzi knew that these three years would be difficult, but for the sake of his two sons Che Zhan and Che Zhen, he still resolutely signed up to come to Zhenyuan Island.
After a long time when he came to the island to exile, he could not help but think about it. He thought to himself that he had been deceived and forgotten? Will he die on this small island for the rest of his life?
But today, I saw Mr. Zhao come to express condolences with my own eyes and listened to Mr. Zhao’s speech with my own ears. Che Zhuzi no longer doubted that his dream of Ming Dynasty would definitely be realized!
~~
After the speech, the police began to transport condolences on the shore, while Mr. Zhao visited the borough and the police dormitory, and then performed the prescribed actions...
After lunch break, it is the reception time as usual.
This time, the guy who came to see him was a short, thick-haired, bearded, and a straight nose. Zhao Hao saw that the man was wearing a vest made of birch bark, and his head was even carved and dyed. He was surrounded by a bear skin, barefoot, and hugged his furry legs.
In short, his whole body was full of hair, and he couldn't tell his age. But he had a string of gem necklace hanging on his neck and a proud grass crown on his head, which showed his extraordinary identity.
Kim Hee-sun, vice president of the Danluo Chamber of Commerce who was the general translator, first said a few words to the man, and the man yelled at Zhao Hao for a while, then held his hands in front of his forehead and bowed to salute.
Mr. Zhao didn’t listen to Japanese, so he couldn’t understand. If it were Japanese, he would have understood a little, such as ‘Yashidie’, ‘One Library and One Library’…
Jin Hee-sun introduced with a smile on his face: "Young Master, this is Hashita, the chief of the Ainu people in the east. He is sending his most sincere greetings to the Master."
"You can still speak Ainu?" Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I also asked him well. By the way, don't they like to call them 'Ainu'? Let's call them 'Utari'."
"The villain also works hard to learn to collect wood for the young master." Jin Hee-sun smiled flatteringly before translating to Hashita.
Hearing that the other party called him "Utali", Hashita showed a look of surprise on his face with thick hair and beards, and he frequently bowed to Zhao Hao, and was obviously very happy.
In fact, in Ainu's words, "Ainu" means "people", while "Utali" means "partner". No one wants others to call him a person, or to call him a partner more.
"He said he could not have thought that the young master knew their culture so well," Kim Hee-sun translated.
"Where is, there is just a little fur." Mr. Zhao said modestly. In fact, he was not modest, because he only knew two Ainu people, Naklulu and Limululu...
After the guards served tea, the two convenient ways were made to talk with the duck under Kim Hee-sun's translation.
Through Kim Hee-sun's explanation, Mr. Zhao generally learned that the Ainu people on the island were divided into three parts: east and west, north. The north was hiding in the deep mountains and forests, basically isolated from the world and could be ignored. As for the Ainu people in the south, due to the invasion of the Japanese, the dead and the fleeing, and the rest became the slaves of Japanese samurai.
Therefore, the Ainu people who maintain contact with the outside world and are a little more civilized are the East and West movies. The two movies have very different attitudes towards the Japanese. The Ainu people in the west are dovish. Under the gentleness of the Japanese, they enjoy the benefits of trade and are about to forget the hatred of the past.
The hawks in the east, that is, the Hashita tribesmen, still maintained hostility towards the Japanese, attacking the Japanese who left the city, and even attacking their residences. Naturally, they became the key target of the Japanese, and were banned by trade, making their livelihoods increasingly difficult. Many tribesmen could not stand the endless war, poverty and hunger, and went to the west.
So Hashita's life was very difficult. As the tribe became smaller and smaller, he was almost in despair.
At this moment, the timber merchants from the Danlu Chamber of Commerce appeared. With the cover of the powerful Sakai merchants, they were able to cross the Jinqing Strait and land in a place called the New Coronavirus in the southeast corner of Ainu Island.
Zhao Hao thought to himself that this place was really unlucky...
Wood merchants brought the supplies that Hashita urgently needed, and Ainu Island was full of primeval forests at this time, and the least valuable one was wood, so the two sides naturally hit it off. So over the next year, ships from the Tanluo Chamber of Commerce continued to travel back and forth in the Jinqing Strait, using grain, cotton, iron, salt and other daily necessities in exchange for a ship of hundreds of years of oak to transport them back to Tanluo.
The Japanese leader of the Japanese who had been in charge of Ainu Island had long disliked these Danlu merchant ships. However, they also surrendered to the Andong clan of the Honshu who came out of the Haya country.
The Andong family was in a difficult situation in the war-torn country and relied heavily on trade with Sakai merchants to supply the urgently needed strategic materials. So under the pressure of Anton, Oyzaki could only hold his nose and endure it.
After a long time, Hashita also realized the energy of these wood merchants and began to try to buy weapons, armor, and especially the "iron cannons" used by the Japanese. The Danlu merchant was in a dilemma and said that this was a controlled material and could only be sold to you with the consent of our son.
From that day on, Hashita was possessed and asked all day long when he would see their son, so Mr. Zhao took this rare opportunity to enjoy the glory and meet him.
Therefore, before he could say a few words, Hashita replayed again, hoping to buy weapons and armor, especially firearms, and he was willing to pay no matter how high the price.
"Of course there are weapons." Mr. Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "But we have to figure out who are you going to deal with if you want so many weapons?"
"Avenge your parents and grandfather and drive the Japanese out of the island!" Hashita shouted with bloody eyes: "The Ainu people will never be slaves!"
