Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Ezo Island in the north of the Japanese Kingdom was also known as Hokkaido in later generations. However, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, Ezo Island was still an unclaimed land and did not belong to the Japanese Kingdom. There were also natives living on the island, and these natives were also known as Ai in later generations.  Nu people, but because these Ainu people have thick body hair, most people prefer to call them hairy people.

    In order to have enough troops to attack the Japanese country, Li Min followed Wang An's suggestion and moved a group of Hu people from the northern grasslands of the Tang Dynasty to Sixian, and promised them that if the Japanese country was conquered, he would give them a place to live.  The land was used for grazing, and this land was chosen by him on Ezo Island.

    In the war against the Japanese state, the grassland troops did contribute a lot and suffered tens of thousands of casualties. Among the several troops organized to attack the Japanese state, they suffered the most casualties.  After the war, Li Min also kept his promise and sent all 170,000 Hu people to Ezo Island. However, this aroused the dissatisfaction of the local Mao people, and then started a war with the Hu people. It was a pity that those Mao people were not in shape.  He is short, and he is in a primitive society. He does not even have iron weapons. How can he be a fierce opponent to the barbarians from the grassland?  Therefore, in a short period of time, the hairy people on Ezo Island were driven into the jungle in the center of the island, and they usually did not dare to come out.

    The shape of Ezo Island looks like a crab without legs, and it is high in the center and low on all sides. Most of the surrounding areas of the island are flat land, which is very suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry. It is precisely because of this that after the grassland barbarians moved here,  They cut down the trees around the island and sold them to Han merchants who came by boat. The Han merchants brought oil, salt, cloth and other daily necessities to exchange with the barbarian people on the island.

    After the forest was cleared from the flat land around Ezo Island, it soon turned into patches of fertile pasture.  Li Min divided Ezo Island into Ezo Prefecture.  Father Duer's Luoyun tribe received the support of Li Min and became the largest tribe in Ezo Prefecture.  At the same time, Socher, the leader of the Luoyun tribe, became the first governor of Ezo Prefecture.

    On a large plain in the southeast of Ezo Island, a large river flows out of the forest in the center of the island.  It crosses the plains and flows into the sea. On one of the relatively flat river beaches, two brown bears are drinking water and catching fish in the river. Occasionally, some other animals come to the river, but they do not dare to get too close to the brown bears.

    "Boom~boom~" Following a few crisp gunshots, the two fat brown bears let out two shrill screams, and several blood holes appeared on their chests.  One of them was probably hit in the heart, so he fell down immediately, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.  Although the other end was also seriously injured.  But he didn't die immediately. Instead, he rushed towards the place where the shot was fired, apparently intending to tear the thing that injured him into pieces.

    But before the brown bear could rush in front of him, a dozen people came out from behind the woods where the shooting was. They were all wearing the military uniforms of Prince Qi, with muskets on their backs, but now they were holding bows and arrows.  All of their points were pointed at the charging brown bear, and the leaders were two extremely burly men.  It looks very ferocious, and at first glance, it looks like two brown bears wearing clothes.

    Seeing the brown bear charging towards him, the soldiers were about to shoot him with arrows.  However, he was stopped by the older, burly man at the front: "Leave this bear to me, you all stand back!"

    Hearing this man's order, the young burly man next to him said anxiously: "Father, didn't you already promise Uncle Zhou when you came here that you would never take risks again?"

    "Hehe. I promised not to take risks anymore, but this brown bear has been injured. It's not a threat at all. Do you think I can't beat a stupid bear?" This older, burly man is Li  Hu Li is the most powerful general under Zhen, and the young man next to him who looks very similar to him is his eldest son Hu Qiang.

    Speaking of Hu Li, their family is really thin. Aunt Hu and Lu Hong have been married for many years, but they have never been pregnant. Moreover, Lu Hong is unwilling to take a concubine. As a result, the two of them still have no children. Now they are considering bringing Lu Hong together.  One of Qing's sons adopted him to inherit the incense of their lineage.

    As for Hu Li, he did not have a son Hu Qiang until he was in his thirties. He is only eighteen years old now. He looks like he was carved from the same mold as Hu Li. In addition, Hu Qiang also has several younger sisters, most of whom are  They were all tall and thick. After seeing them once, Li Min admired the strength of their Hu family's genes from the bottom of his heart. In addition, he was also worried, wondering whether Hu Li's daughters could still get married?

    Just as Hu Li finished speaking, the injured brown bear had already crossed a hundred steps and pounced on Hu Li like a locomotive.  However, Huli sneered twice, ran a few steps, and then violently collided with the brown bear.

    Huli is the most powerful general under Li Min, and he is also a famous strongman in the Tang Dynasty. He is two meters tall, and his whole body is packed with muscles. Judging from the appearance alone, he is no less than a brown bear. In addition, Huli is deep  He is well versed in fighting, and had already used his skills when colliding with the brown bear.??, so not only was he not injured, but he also knocked the brown bear back two steps.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Li used a fist the size of a casserole and hit the brown bear on the chin with an uppercut.  If it were a person, this punch would probably be enough to shatter the bones of the opponent's jaw. However, the brown bear has rough skin and thick flesh, so this punch could not do anything to it. Instead, it aroused its ferocity, and the person stood upright.  He jumped towards Hu Li.

    If it had been anyone else, he would probably have been able to dodge, but Tiger Li relied on his own strength to turn sideways and hit the brown bear's chest with his shoulder. As a result, he knocked over the unsteady brown bear, and at the same time, the gunshot wound on its chest was also hurt.  He was bleeding externally, and Huli was also splashed with a lot of bear blood on his body and face. In addition, his back was also scratched by the bear crawling. Not only were his clothes torn, but he also suffered some skin injuries, which made him look a lot more tired.  It is both tragic and bloody.

    Seeing the brown bear fall to the ground again, Huli would not give it another chance. He ran a few steps to the brown bear, said "Hey~" and pressed the brown bear's head with one hand, then made a fist with the other hand and used all his strength.  He hit with all his strength, hitting the vital point behind the brown bear's ears every time. As a result, no matter how hard the brown bear struggled, it could not break away from Tiger Li's iron fist. In addition, the vital point on its head was constantly being attacked. Soon this  The first bear lost the ability to resist, roared several times and finally stopped moving.

    "Hahaha~, so happy, this bear is so powerful. If I hadn't wounded it with a musket beforehand, I would have paid a lot of money to take care of it!" Huli saw that the brown bear finally stopped moving, and stood up with a loud laugh.  Then he took a few sips of the water bottle given by the guards behind him, looking very excited.

    However, Hu Qiang next to him reluctantly took a medicine bottle from the guard, then walked over and said: "Dad, please take off your shirt, I will disinfect your wound!"

    Hu Li suffered some scratches on his back. Although it was just a skin injury, if it was inflamed, it could kill someone. So after hearing his son's words, he did not refuse. He took off his clothes to reveal his strong back. Hu Qiang  He poured the disinfectant alcohol from the medicine bottle onto the wound, and then applied it evenly with a cotton swab, but his face was full of helplessness.

    After the Japanese state was occupied by Li Min, it was also divided into a separate state, and the name was Japanese state. Although the Japanese state was guarded by two major Japanese traitor families, the Ishigami family and the Soga family, it was still unable to control the situation. It was precisely because  In this way, Hu Li, Zhou Long and others have been stationed in the Japanese country with their troops. Hu Qiang has also reached the age of training, so he was called by Hu Li from Taiwan to the Japanese country. Now he serves as his personal guard. At the same time,  He also learned the art of war from him and Zhou Long.

    Hu Qiang is different from his father Hu Li. Although Hu Qiang is tall and tall, he is actually a thoughtful person. He has also loved reading since he was a child and has studied the art of war very well.  Regarding this point, Huli also felt that his son was not like him. If Huqiang and him were not almost carved out of the same mold, he would have doubted whether the other person was his son.

    Now Hu Qiang is following Hu Li and Zhou Long, mainly to learn from their experience in leading troops and training troops. This is very suitable for Zhou Long, and he has made it clear that he wants to accept Hu Qiang as his apprentice and plans to teach him everything he has learned.  This time Hu Li received Li Min's order to leave Japan and come to Ezo Island to work on things. Hu Qiang naturally wanted to come and broaden his horizons.

    Originally, Zhou Long was going to come with Hu Li and his son, and they had already arrived on Ezo Island. However, the day before yesterday, he received news that there was another force in the north of the Japanese country that was ready to move. This made Zhou Long very worried, so  He handed over the task to Huli, and took his people back to Japan to take charge.

    But before Zhou Long left, he forced Huli to make an oath that he would never take any more risks in the future!  This is mainly because when Huli saw the brown bears all over Ezo Island, he felt itchy for a moment and actually started to compete with the brown bears. As a result, he soon fell in love with this dangerous sport, which made Zhou Long worried about Huli's occurrence.  It was an accident, so he was asked to make an oath, but now it seems that this oath is not very binding on Hu Li.

    After Hu Qiang gave his father the medicine, several guards worked together to lift one brown bear. Hu Qiang picked up the other one by himself, and then followed Hu Li back to the camp.  Speaking of which, these two bears weigh about five to six hundred pounds. Even if there are several guards working together, they will have to be replaced after a while. However, this is obviously very easy for Hu Qiang. After all, his inherited muscles are not  The furnishings, even if they are not as good as his father Huli now, are not comparable to ordinary people.

    Huli and the others walked along the river bank, passing through the small plain covered with weeds and shrubs, and soon came to the outlet of the river. Next to the outlet, a solid cement fortress stood there.  Next to the cement castle, there is a small pier. This is one of the stronghold piers set up by Li Min on Ezo Island. The purpose is to guard the grassland people on the island and prohibit them from going abroad. Now it is also Huli's  temporary residence, but when Huli and the others came back, the people he was waiting for were already waiting for him here.
