Kang Jiadao led more than 700 Beidong troops, lined up and out, out of the cave, running up and down the hillside, they had been forced to a dead end by the Japanese army, although the casualties were huge during the day, but there was still hope for life.

When the Beidong army rushed halfway up the mountain, they put up white flags and told the Qing troops at the foot of the mountain that they had come to surrender and begged the Qing troops not to shoot.

At the foot of the mountain is a mine array of hundreds of meters, to pass through this blockade line, in fact, there is a way, the warriors of the Beidong Army carried bags of stones, while walking forward, while throwing stones forward, using the stones to touch the mine explosion, which made the speed of the Beidong Army slow down, and the Japanese troops on the mountain found something strange.

The mines exploded one by one, the Beidong army suffered few casualties, the Qing army did not shoot at the Beidong army, the Qing army had seen the white flag, but the Japanese army fired artillery from the mountain, and the shells accurately fell in the middle of the Beidong army, but the tenacious Beidong army lay on the ground, crawling forward, and refused to turn back until death, and was determined to surrender.

Takeoka Osa was so angry that he never thought that the Beidong army would surrender without a fight, and hurriedly ordered the artillery to be fired to wipe out the rebels.

The Japanese army was bleeding profusely and fired hundreds of shells at the forward positions in one go, which shows that the Japanese army was red-eyed and spent the shells on the useless Beidong Army.

The gunpowder smoke was everywhere, the rushing smoke, so that the Japanese artillery could not see the situation of the forward position, the artillery fire was very fierce, so that more than half of the Beidong army was killed and wounded, and hundreds of corpses were left on the front of the position, but the Beidong army was very tenacious, regardless of the casualties, the living Beidong army carried the wounded people on their backs, and crawled to the Qing army position without hesitation.

Kang Jiadao led by example, carrying a wounded Beidong Army warrior on his back, slowly approaching the Qing army's position, the Beidong Army in front of the forward position was very united, and he was unwilling to abandon the wounded until death, and was willing to crawl slowly rather than leave his comrades.

Liu Mingdeng looked at this strange scene, was quite moved, and ordered: "Allow the Beidong Army to surrender, treat the wounded as much as possible, and order the third artillery battalion to counterattack and suppress the Japanese artillery." ”

The artillery of the Qing army began to counterattack, the artillery positions in the jungle took off their camouflage, revealing a huge Krupp cannon, firing at the enemy's position, the first large-scale artillery bombardment of the Qing army, instantly let the Japanese army on the Paijia Cliff shrouded in artillery, the Japanese army was unable to counterattack, the Japanese army retreated into the tunnel, and a piece of artillery was also pulled into the cave.

The Qing army had no way to deal with this tactic of the Japanese army, and soon died down, and the enemy and us ceased fighting as always, and everyone had their own advantages, and neither could help the other.

There were still more than 400 people left in the Beidong army who fled into the Qing army's position, and more than 100 of them were wounded by Japanese bombs, and the wounded were quickly treated.

Liu Mingdeng did not go to comfort the uprising of the Beidong Army, let alone visit the injured Beidong Army, he still held a breath of resentment in his heart, let the adjutant general Fu Xianchu have full authority to deal with the "Beidong Army of the battlefield uprising", he ran to the Datuo River, and went to meet Shen Baozhen, Liu Mingdeng is a person with clear grievances, full of disgust for the Beidong people, and he can't get rid of it quickly.

The Beidong Army is known for its brutality, and it can be said that most of the massacres of tens of thousands of people in Taiwan, especially the Han people, were committed by the Beidong Army.

At this time, Japan's international allies were the Americans and the Russians, and the Western powers were on the side of the Qing Dynasty.

The Japanese still grasped the fallacy in the Qing Dynasty and prevaricated the fact of invading Taiwan on the grounds that Taiwan was a terra nullius, and the Japanese army refused to withdraw from Taiwan for nothing.

The British minister even threatened the Japanese negotiators at the negotiating table, saying that Britain would send a navy to mediate the war, and Britain regarded itself as the protector of the Qing Dynasty.

This is the complexity of war, there is no eternal enemy in the world, and the British have become allies of the Qing Dynasty.

In order to take into account the international image, the Japanese army also has American journalists in its units, and they do not dare to do whatever they want in Taiwan, and they want to find supporters in the international community.

However, during the war, the blood debt of the Beidong Army was also caused by the connivance of the Japanese army, and the Beidong Army was just a pawn in the hands of the Japanese army, and in the final analysis, the killing of civilians was deliberately done by the Japanese army.

In order to buy people's hearts and minds, Li Guolou took the initiative in Taiwan's geography as soon as possible, and counted all the blood debts on the heads of the Japanese army.

This group of Beidong troops left their homeland for a long time, and also entered the territory of the Han people, committing heinous crimes, Kang Jiadao at the last moment of life and death, thought of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, and became a "righteous man", the Beidong Army exploited the loopholes of the Qing Dynasty's policy, and it can be regarded as a blind eye, a cycle of cause and effect, it does not work in the army, and the bad guys also have a good death.

Although Liu Mingdeng was dissatisfied, he still knew the general situation and incorporated this blood-indebted Beidong army, but he had a bad attitude towards the Beidong people, and did not entertain the Beidong army that revolted on the battlefield, but walked away and went to the Datuo River to relax.

Along the way, Liu Mingdeng was still sighing, cursing the shameless Beidong Army, but he became smart when he was dying, and let the fire attack plan he prepared to Paijia Cliff have lost 400 charred corpses.

The deputy general Fu Xianchu personally met with Kang Jiadao to reassure the people, and wanted to kick this group of Beidong troops to Li Guolou as soon as possible, and the Jianwu army would not cooperate with the Beidong army.

At this time, the Beidong army who returned to Shun knew that the Beidong tribe had changed the Tusi, and Luo Shidai had been canonized as "Beidong Tusi" by the Qing Emperor, and Luo Shidai returned to the Pingtung Plain and was fighting with the Japanese army in the homeland of the Beidong people.

In the military tent, Fu Xianchu met with five nobles of the Beidong Army led by Kang Jiadao, and after some greetings, they each took their seats.

"It's still Luo Shidai who has a strategic vision, and I'm still one step late." Kang Jiadao regretted it a lot, he knew that today, he should have revolted earlier, and he also had the ability to become Beidong Tusi.

However, Kang Jiadao was embarrassed to ask his daughter Kang Xiaoye's situation, that day the armor was in chaos, whether his daughter voluntarily went with Luo Shidai, or was forcibly taken away, the ghost only knew that anyway, his son-in-law Luo Shijie was forced to die by him, and his daughter would not be worse if she followed Luo Shidai to live.

Fu Xianchu looked at the five malnourished Beidong nobles, and laughed dryly: "It's not too late, it's not too late, Kang Jiadao, you can recognize the situation, on behalf of General Liu, I welcome patriotic compatriots back to the embrace of the motherland." ”

"I, Kang Jiadao will never betray the Qing Dynasty again, the God of Light testifies, swears to Mazu, and asks General Fu to take him in." Kang Jiadao didn't dare to ask more, and made a firm stand to Fu Xianchu, broke with the past, and was always loyal to the Qing Emperor.

Kang Jiadao and the other five leaders of the Beidong Army knelt in front of Fu Xianchu and swore an oath.

Fu Xianchu listened to it funny, this was the first time that the Beidong people had sworn an oath.

The head of the "Prince of Beidong" Luo Shijie is a ball, how come he didn't see a Japanese head, Kang Jiadao has no brains to do things, and he has no sincerity at all.

Fu Xianchu heard Luo Shidai say that Kang Jiadao wanted to sneak attack the artillery position of the Jianwu Army in the armor set, this artillery position is the garrison of the Jianwu Army, how can he succeed in the sneak attack, it is not difficult to find that the way Kang Jiadao uses troops is unsatisfactory, and only values the head of Luo Shijie, the "Prince of Beidong".

Fu Xianchu thought to himself: If Luo Shidai returns to Shun, he will definitely attack the Japanese position, and no matter how bad it is, he will get more than a dozen Japanese heads.

The oath of the Beidong people is like a fart, worthless, and the Beidong people who repeatedly violate their oath are a shame for the Qing Dynasty.

However, these five people are Beidong nobles, with a strong appeal, those Beidong troops hiding in the deep mountains and old forests are difficult enemies, with the help of these Beidong nobles, the Beidong people will come out of the jungle and return to the Qing Dynasty.

The Japanese army is the enemy of the Qing Dynasty, and the elimination of the Japanese army is the top priority, and more than 400 Beidong troops defected on the battlefield, Li Guolou must be very happy, and he will definitely reward the Jianwu army, for the sake of military merit and silver dollars, spare the Beidong army who killed people and set fires.

Fu Xianchu pretended to be happy, helped Kang Jiadao and the others up, as if they had received a gift of beautiful jade, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, I believe in your oath, in the future, we will be ministers in the same palace, and take the expulsion of the Japanese invaders as our own responsibility, you go to appease the warriors under your command first, if you have difficulties, write them out one by one, I will send ten adjutants to accompany you, solve them for you one by one, and invite you to drink a glass of wine in the evening, if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”

The generals are all big and coarse images, Fu Xianchu seems to be sincere and sincere, with first-class acting skills, and he rejects this shameless surrender faction very much in his heart.

Fu Xianchu very politely sent Kang Jiadao and others out of the big tent, turned around and his face became iron-blue, the shame of the defeat of the Jianwu Army, remembered in his heart, how could he heal the scars, forget the pain, in May, the Jianwu Army was defeated by the Japanese army in the Pingtung Plain, and more than 1,000 Jianwu Army soldiers died.

Will the captured comrades survive.

Look at the virtue of the Beidong Army, you know the fate of the prisoners of war of the Jianwu Army, this blood debt can not be settled with the Beidong Army, for the sake of national righteousness, you can only let go of the enemy, this grievance in your heart, can only be silently borne.

Fu Xianchu issued a military order to treat the Beidong Army that had revolted on the battlefield with wartime military discipline, and properly resettled the more than 400 Beidong Army who had rebelled, so that the officers and men of Jianwu did not dare to speak out, the military law was ruthless, and no one dared to be a thorn.

Fu Xianchu was afraid that the officers would be drunk and disorderly, so he cried and made trouble at the banquet, looked at the officers in the military tent, issued a military order, and shouted: "Invite Kang Jiadao and others to the banquet in the evening, you people who go to the banquet are only allowed to drink a glass of wine, who dares to pretend to be crazy with wine, shouting the names of dead comrades-in-arms, and ruining the national policy formulated by Commander-in-Chief Li, I will not spare it." ”

"Yes, we act with respect, and we will not dare to speak falsely." The officers squeezed their heads and wanted to participate in the evening banquet, even if they drank a glass of wine, it would be pie in the sky, and if they didn't bother with those lowly nobles, at the banquet, if they couldn't control their mouths, someone would be round, and how could they turn the reception banquet into a Hongmen banquet.

Fu Xianchu saw the joy of the officers' promises, he was still not very relieved, afraid that the army's heart would be unstable, and he taught step by step: "Now, I order you to return to the team, publicize the national policy, and do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, especially the ideological work of the Paiwan soldiers, we must take precautions, first isolate the Paiwan soldiers from the Beidong army that returned to Shun, and try not to let them have contact with each other, our army will also cross the Yushan forest, and we need the help of the Beidong people, if you want to defeat the Japanese army, the people of all ethnic groups in Taiwan must closely unite under the banner of the Yellow Dragon, Do you understand everything? ”

"Understood." The officer in the tent tore his throat and replied loudly.

These words were all calloused, and the Jianwu Army was brainwashing every day from top to bottom, explaining the handouts compiled by Li Guolou, and besides, he had seen the benefits of implementing the national reconciliation policy from actual combat, and the tragic scene of the Beidong Army braving artillery fire to return to the Jianwu Army and the Beidong Army carrying the wounded on its back made people never forget, and even Liu Mingdeng greatly admired the unity of the Beidong Army.

After Li Guolou rewarded the Qing army from all walks of life, the military discipline of the Qing army was naturally rectified, and there was no looting of villages, and the officers of the Jianwu Army spared no effort to implement the policy of national reconciliation, knowing that treating the Beidong Army with kindness to the Shun could make the people in the Shengfan area belong to them, and the war would develop in a favorable direction for the Qing army.

Today, the transportation lines of the Qing army are all supported by Taiwan's ethnic minorities, which is the best proof of national reconciliation.

The officers who originally had opinions on Li Guolou also approved of this approach in the face of the facts, and at most they were a little unbalanced, but this also had nothing to do with the overall situation, and it was a big deal that they did not conspire with each other.

The officers walked out of the military tent one after another, and Fu Xianchu remembered that he wanted to send a telegram to Li Guolou, and hurriedly ran to the back account to report the good news to Li Guolou.

Kang Jiadao and the others were very satisfied to leave the big tent, and they were able to break through the minefield alive, which can be described as two lives, and seeing the injured comrades-in-arms being treated, they were even more grateful, and they put Li Guolou's name on their lips, thinking about returning to their hometown as soon as possible and contributing to the recovery of Taiwan.

At this point, only 2,000 Japanese troops held the Paijia Cliff, and Takeoka Osa Sakata watched hundreds of Beidong troops flee into the Qing army's position, but he was powerless.

Although the Beidong Army betrayed and the Japanese army suffered losses, this was not a good thing, which not only saved rations, but also eliminated future troubles.

Sakata Takeoka calmed down and shouted in the mountain pass: "Our Imperial Japanese Army is holding on to Paijia Cliff, and the enemy wants to break through Paijia Cliff, but that is wishful thinking, as long as we hold out until next spring, His Majesty the Emperor will send 100,000 troops to Taiwan Island, and then we will organize a counteroffensive and incorporate Taiwan Island into the territory of Great Japan." ”

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live ??????" The Japanese soldiers in the cave roared a tsunami, echoes sounded one after another, their hands were constantly raised, and their fanatical faces were twisted and hideous under the flickering lights, and the Japanese soldiers who were obsessed with the spirit of bushido swore to live and die with the position.
