Chapter 778 Scarlet Wedding
Wild music filled the village.
The Fanmin of Danshui Society are singing and dancing. In the simple wooden village, there are hundreds of dry fences standing firmly. In the center of the village, there is a huge open space. At this time, the Fanmin in the open space are happily killing deer, slaughtering pigs and roasting meat.
Today is a festive day in the village. It is the day when Chief Bud’s son Ajie gets married. The young man married the daughter of the chief of Shuiwei Society, one of the eight societies of Phoenix Mountain, who also belongs to the Aga tribe.
The two communities belong to the same family, one lives in the north of Danshui River, and the other lives in the south of Tamsui River. They are adjacent to each other across the river, and they usually have a good relationship.
Hundreds of people from Shuiwei Club came to see off their relatives, bringing countless dowries of brides, eighteen pigs, eighteen deer, eighteen pheasants and ducks, eight cows and eight horses.
In addition, there are nine bolts of silk and nine bolts of cloth, nine boxes of tea and nine boxes of salt. In addition, there are a lot of dowries of various colors such as horn combs, ivory chopsticks, etc., but most of them were bought from Danshuizhai and Han people before.
The chief of the Tamsui Society was very happy today. He started killing pigs and cattle early in the morning, and brought out the wild deer, boar, rabbit, pheasant, and all kinds of fish and shrimp caught in the river for a feast. .
A large iron pot is set up. These iron pots are also exchanged from the Han people. Each iron pot is a symbol of wealth.
"The Han people in the port are about to surrender, right?"
The chief of the Watertail Society, Maka, is a strong man, and he specially put on a robe made of silk today.
Opposite him, the president of Tamsui, Bud, was pouring him wine. This wine was also exchanged from the port. Compared with their own brewed wine, it was much better, but the price was also very expensive.
"Well, they haven't received a piece of camphor for half a year, and maybe we haven't bought goods from them for a long time, and now our agency will take back the land that we sold to them. They don't even have a place to stay. Of course they are in a panic. Yes. The steward surnamed Liang came to me several times to discuss, hoping that we can cooperate again, hahaha."
Maka picked up the ox horn wine glass and took a sip of the wine. The wine was indeed full-bodied and strong, but the stamina was a bit strong. Men in the tribe liked to drink, but they were often drunk by this wine.
"You can't let go easily. Those **** Han people, I heard that they transport our camphor across the sea, simply reprocess and package it there, and get ten times the profit by changing hands. Do they really think we are fools? And they sell The goods that were given to us are also very expensive, and we worked hard to refine incense, but in the end we all worked hard for them, how could this be possible?"
Bud laughed, "It won't be long before they have to give in. By then, we will be able to exchange for more Han merchants for every 30 pennies we bear."
As a fan club that is only adjacent to the Han people in Danshui Port, the Shuwei Club in Marca, like the Danshui Club in Bud, is the first to get the moon because it is close to the water. At first, they only traded some things for their own use with the Han people. Later, they discovered that these Han people The goods of the Han people were very popular, so they began to sell the goods from the Han people to other tribes, and even sold them to the mountain tribes in the mountains.
They easily earned several times the price difference.
Later, they simply bought camphor incense from the students in the mountains, and then sold it to the Han people.
That's it, reselling on both sides, buying low and selling high, is profitable.
But as he said, although they made a lot of profits from the Han people, most of the money flowed into the Han shops in the port in the end. Knives and iron pans, even porcelain, pottery and woodware, all kinds of jewelry, needlework, etc., there is always what they want.
Quite a few social residents even owed a lot of money on credit from Han merchants, and they couldn’t repay it when it was due, and they had to pay interest. It was refreshing when buying things and keeping accounts, and it was comfortable when drinking and buying knives, but when they were urged to pay Always unhappy.
In the end, they could only scold the Han people for being treacherous, so they simply raised the price of camphor, adding more and more, and asked the Han merchants to lower the price of the goods.
The Han people did not agree, so they blocked the Danshui Port, forbidding them to contact and trade with other tribes, and even wanted to take back the land they sold, in order to force the Han merchants to back down.
"What if those treacherous Han merchants still don't agree?" Maka said, "You know that we are almost inseparable from their goods now, and we have bought too much camphor now, and even a lot of them have not paid yet. Yes, the mountains are already urgent, if you don’t pay, they will be in a hurry.”
"Wait a minute, the Han people must be more impatient than us."
"What if, I mean what if they still won't budge?"
Bud gritted his teeth, "If that's the case, then we will gather our troops and **** the port back, then all the goods in the warehouse will be ours, even the more than 3,000 people will be ours. "
Although Danshui Port with more than 3,000 people is not small, there are more than 12,000 people in the Eighth Society of Phoenix Mountain of the Aga tribe, and there are more than 4,000 strong men alone. They thought that if they really wanted to fight, those Han people would definitely not be their opponents.
"Did you invite the Han people in the port to the wedding today?"
"No, this is our wedding, why invite outsiders?"
·······
Huansi Island Cutter, who was named Qin Huan, and two other Fan leaders from Fulao Mountain, led seven battalions of 3,500 Fans, armed with antler spears and knives, marched towards Danshuishe.
They headed east along the Danshui Creek, heading straight for Phoenix Mountain.
Accompanying them this time were 150 cavalrymen of the Marine Corps. They rode tall horses, wore armor, and ran around the team with bows and spears.
Tall weeds everywhere.
Such a flat fertile soil with plenty of rain is all barren.
A group of wild deer looking for food was startled, and they jumped and fled to the other side. Qin Huan looked at those plump deer, and couldn't help thinking of the days when he was hunting with his father and brother when he was young.
What a fat herd of deer.
If it wasn't for the mission, he would have shot all the deer.
At a distance of only a few miles, Qin Huan ordered the horse to stop and rest for half an hour. Now the chiefs of each battalion discussed the attack plan again.
A guide returns.
"The son of the chief of the Danshui Society got married today, and there are still many members of the Shuwei Society in the village, two or three hundred more than expected."
When Qin Huan heard the news, he laughed instead.
"A wedding? Hahaha, it's a coincidence that the chief's son is getting married, so the wedding will be very lively. They will sing, dance and drink. In the end, many people get drunk. This is a good opportunity."
The leader of the cavalry team was one of the three cavalry team leaders. He said with some disdain, "Is this the way to deal with mere thousands of people? Just kill them."
Qin Huan insisted on waiting. Although he had many people in his hands, this was his first battle. He hoped to perform well in front of Duke Wei.
He decided to wait until dark before launching the raid.
"I suggest that we simply divide our troops into two groups and go to Shuiweishe. After dark, we will work together to destroy two villages at once."
Captain asked, "How will the moon be tonight?"
"There won't be any moonlight tonight, it's dark and dark." Qin Huan told the captain that such a night is suitable for a surprise attack, "We want to exchange for the greatest victory with the least casualties."
The captain disapproved, "You are the chief general appointed by Duke Wei, since you insist, then I will listen to you."
Qin Huan divided three battalions of 1,500 people, and invited two cavalry teams to go with them.
The rest of the people hid in the tall weeds, quietly waiting for the dark.
Waiting until it was completely dark, they ate dry food and drank water in silence.
"Whoever **** and whoever poops, leave in half a quarter of an hour."
When everything was ready, they quietly walked towards Danshui Village.
Everything was as Qin Huan expected, the village was unprepared, many men passed out, and even many women passed out as well, and some drunk people were still singing.
They approached quietly and killed several fans who also smelled of alcohol along the way.
The fourth battalion of 2,000 troops rushed into the village like a tide in the dark night. Qin Huan rushed directly to the largest house in the center of the village with an antler spear in hand.
A fan soldier rushed up to the upper floor of the dry bar wooden house, raised his big foot, kicked the door open, and then rushed into the house like a whirlwind.
The fan who was lying drunk on the wooden board was still sleeping like a pig. There were exclamations of women and children in the room, but soon there were several sounds, and they were all knocked down.
Fanzi kept in mind the saying that the dead only reward half the living, and after entering the storm ship’s fist and kick attack, he knocked people down, then took out ropes to tie them up, and then rummaged through boxes and boxes to find the loot...
When Qin Huan rushed to the center of the village with his men, the groom was bridal with the bride. There was a creaking sound in the upstairs room, and the in-laws of Baka and Ade downstairs were still drinking and eating meat.
Both of them were flushed with food, half drunk.
When the door was kicked open, the two of them were a little annoyed, thinking that another drunk barged in, but when they saw a group of strangers wearing rattan armor and carrying deer spears, their faces paled in shock, drunk All gone for a few minutes.
"who?"
Maka yelled, seeing that the attire looks like a fan from the island, but it is very strange, especially the equipment of these people is very good, antler spears, iron knives, and some even carry bows on their backs, those bows are better than those of their tribe too much.
"Who is Bud?" Qin Huan asked.
"I'm Bud, brother, what race and society are you from?"
Qin Huan sneered twice, picked up the antler spear and threw it at it. Maka and Maka dodged, but the reaction of the drunken body was a little slower.
The two were quickly knocked down, several people behind Qin Huan rushed forward and tied them up, Qin Huan then rushed upstairs, the door was kicked open, a young girl in the room let out a scream, panicked I went to pull the blanket to cover my body, but when I pulled the top, the bottom was exposed again, and I wished I could have two more hands.
"Who are you?" the groom Ajie shouted angrily.
Qin Huan stepped forward and swept Ajie down with a spear, and then embraced the bride, who was as frightened as a bird, into her arms.
The girl struggled and kicked angrily.
Someone laughed and said, "Grandpa has taken a fancy to this girl? Let's take this kid down, and leave the upstairs for Grandpa and the girl."
Qin Huan hit the **** the neck with a knife and knocked her out, "When will you still be interested? But this girl is good, keep it for Wei Gong, and give it to Wei Gong to wash her feet later."
A few fans laughed out loud.
"Tie people up tightly, one is worth two thousand dollars, don't kill them, or they won't be worth much."
Under the dark night, the Danshui club was in chaos, with shouts of killing everywhere...
