readx; As they sat down, the attitude of the Bunun people changed greatly because of Ma Debi's praise for the "Ramata Star". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ma Debi took advantage of this opportunity and said: "Our army landed in Taiwan last year and regained the lost territory, and it is by no means here to enmity with you, we have only one enemy, and that is myself. ”

The Bunun people nodded frequently, and Ma Debi said: "Since the people occupied Taiwan, they have been brutal and inhumane, and many uprisings have broken out on the island of Taiwan, although they have been brutally suppressed, but it is also a manifestation of the unwillingness of the people of Taiwan to submit to the rule of the people. Now more than 60% of the entire island of Taiwan has been controlled by us, and all the people who have been expelled are said to be expelled at once! ”

Kamayun said in a rare voice and asked, "Is the general here really determined to expel all the people and not leave?" ”

"Don't go, don't go!" Ma Debi replied seriously: "This time, no matter how difficult it is, no matter what we encounter, we will not leave." Besides, this is our land in the first place, and it is Yu himself who should go! ”

"That's right, it's Yu himself who should go!" Kama stood up loudly, and soon found that he had lost his temper like this, and sat down a little embarrassed.

None of this escaped Ma Debi's eyes.

Although Kama is middle-aged, he still looks like a child in his surname, with a clear distinction between love and hate, all written on his face.

Although he sat down again, Kama was still angry: "He has never treated us as sincere, and not only will he destroy our festivals, but he will not allow many of our sacrifices to be carried out. Even our wizards have been mutilated by them."

The Bunun people are particularly superstitious about witchcraft, and their witchcraft is recognized as the most effective and powerful among the nine major ethnic groups of the Gaoshan tribe. The witchcraft of the Bunun people can be divided into two kinds, one is called white witchcraft, that is, praying for sunshine, praying for rain, exorcism, breaking evil spirits, summoning spirits, etc. The second type is called black witchcraft, which is professional witchcraft and is mostly used for revenge. There are also two kinds of wizards, one is passed down from generation to generation and taught by old wizards; The other is the so-called sorcerer taught by the gods in dreams, called the Dream Witch. Apart from witchcraft, the Bunun has the most taboos among all ethnic groups.

Therefore, the status of shamans in the Bunun is very high.

Those things about how he mutilated the Bunun tribe and how he discriminated against and persecuted the Bunun sorcerers came out of Kama Yuan and from the mouths of those Bunun people.

Ma Debi listened very carefully and did not interject. After they finished speaking, they said, "These things happen almost every day, not only among the Bunun people, but also in our occupied areas. Our fathers and sisters have been devastated by Yu himself all the time, and this time, we are here to take revenge! ”

The word "revenge" lit up Kamayan's eyes at once! He said excitedly: "General, I misunderstood you before, thinking that you were here to persecute us, just like myself, but now I know that I was wrong. General, you say, how to take revenge, what should be done! ”

Ma Debi became more and more fond of this simple Bunun people, and he patted Kama Yong's shoulder: "Don't worry, now I am shrinking into a small range, and it is only a matter of time before I solve them." Our immediate priority now is to completely expel the forces of the people within the areas under our control, restore local production, and restore traditional etiquette."

Ma Debi originally said his thoughts, those Bunun people saw in the past those who were officials, either as brutal as himself, or just a faction of officials, where have I seen Ma Debi like this? They all listened with relish, and nodded frequently.

"Speaking of those who help me do bad things, there is one nearby!" Kama Yan suddenly said angrily: "There is also a branch of the Bunun clan near us, which is the Zhong clan, which has always coveted our people, land, and prey, but later said that he came, and they took refuge in him, riding on our hands to make a fortune, and often kidnapped the women of our clan to give them to the god killer himself."

The more Kama Yan talked, the more angry he became, and when it came to forgetfulness, he suddenly said loudly: "General, please give us a gun, let us help us avenge ourselves!" ”

Ma Debi took a deep breath: "Revenge, it must be avenged, all the people who say themselves, or help me do bad things, we will definitely let him pay it back!" If you want a gun, you can! But don't aim the muzzle at your own people, the muzzle should be right, it's the enemy, it's the Han Annihilation! ”

Kama patted his chest and said, "General, please rest assured, the real Bunun people never beat their own people!" ”

"Good!" Ma Debi also raised his voice: "Tomorrow, I will ask someone to send a batch of weapons and ammunition, and at the same time send two more officers to teach you how to use it!" As long as you and I are of the same heart, why worry that people cannot be expelled! ”

As he spoke, he stood up and hugged his fists: "I'm so disturbed today, I'll visit another day!" ”

The Bunun people sent them out, and when they returned, Juhani complained repeatedly: "Kamayan, why are you so anxious, seeing that the lives of our people are in the palm of your hand!" ”

Kama was inexplicable, only to hear Isikalans sigh and say, "What the general said may not be true. How fierce am I? I've heard that even the general's national axe can't beat him, so can they beat it? If we fail, I'm afraid that our Bunun tribe will suffer at that time."

Kama was not convinced: "I am so powerful, don't the Han generals also land successfully?" ”

"What do you know, what do you know!" Juhani shook his head again and again: "It's just a small victory taken advantage of my carelessness." You don't want to think about the fact that there were so many uprisings on the island of Taiwan, which one was not vigorous at the beginning? But when I really take things seriously, think about it again, which uprising was successful? ”

Kama was speechless, but he was not convinced in his heart, saying that he may not be as terrible as the patriarch said. There was always a faint feeling in his heart that the Han people came this time and would never leave

When he arrived, Ma Debi sent a batch of weapons and ammunition and two officers very trustworthy, but surprisingly, the Bunun people left weapons and ammunition, but for the two officers, they found all kinds of excuses and sent them back.

The frustrated officer came back to report the situation, but Ma Debi was not surprised, which he had expected a long time ago.

The Bunun people, as well as many ethnic minorities on the island of Taiwan, have such and such misgivings about the Chinese team, for fear that if they help the Han army now, if the Chinese team can't defeat Yu himself and is driven back, he will be the one who will suffer in the future.

This problem, before preparing to enter Taiwan, Gao Fei has analyzed it with him in detail. In order to alleviate this worry of the Taiwan people, in addition to continuing to strike at the Chinese army militarily, another very important point is to thoroughly eradicate those Han annihilators and pro-Japanese elements on the island.

In particular, the destructive power caused by the Han and pro-Yue elements in many cases is quite amazing!

Especially after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the so-called "Taiwan Army" in the army also participated in the war of aggression against China and participated in many important battles.

On July 7, 1937, the "Lugou Bridge Incident" was created, and the process of full-scale invasion of China began. In the early days of the war, he focused his offensive on North China, and in order to contain the northward movement of the [***] troops in Central and East China, he created the "August 13 Incident." On 4 September, the Konoe Cabinet held its 27th meeting and decided to abandon the "non-expansion policy" and officially begin a full-scale invasion of China. In order to force the Nanjing Nationalist Axe to surrender as soon as possible, the General Staff Headquarters of the Army shifted the direction of attack from North China to Central China. At the same time, a new operational sequence was drawn up to strengthen the strength of the Shanghai Dispatch Army. The strength of the 9th, 13th, 16th, and 101st divisions was added.

The first section of the Taiwanese army was also thrown into battle.

On 6 September, the Taiwan army crossed the Huangpu River, landed at Yangshupu, and then attacked in the direction of Jiangwan. On 7 September, the Taiwan Army was reorganized into the Shigeto Detachment with the 1st and 2nd Wings under the Taiwan Garrison Command, the Taiwan Mountain Artillery Wing, the newly formed Taiwan 1st and 2nd Health Brigades, the Taiwan Temporary Automobile Brigade, and the 1st and 2nd Transport Surveillance Teams of Taiwan. Judging from the composition of its troops, it is a combat unit with a high degree of synthesis. The total number of posts is about 14,000. It is equivalent to the strength of half a division or a division of the National Revolutionary Army.

On September 9, the Shigeto detachment was officially assigned to the Shanghai Dispatch Army. On the 14th, the Shigetsu detachment maneuvered in the direction of Changshu through Chuansha Town, and then rested in place, and on November 13, it landed at Baikou with the 16th Division, and occupied Changshu on the 19th. The 9th and 16th Divisions conquered Wuxi on November 25, and the Shigeto detachment was able to set out from Wuxi and advance westward through the Shanghai-Nanjing line. On December 5, the Shigeto detachment occupied Danyang, and at the same time, occupied Jurong. Two days later, the military headquarters transferred three units, including the Shigetto detachment, to form the Fifth Army, which was preparing to land on the coast of South China. Therefore, the Shigeto detachment did not take part in the general assault on Nanjing.

On 22 December, the military headquarters decided to postpone the landing in South China, and the Shigeto detachment returned to Taiwan to rest. On February 15 of the following year, the Fifth Army was abolished, and on the 22nd, the Shigetsu detachment was transferred to the Central China Dispatch Army, and Hakata Shigeichi replaced Shigeto Chiaki as the detachment leader. In June, the Botian detachment began to assemble in Hefei, and on July 4, it was incorporated into the 11th Army of the Central China Dispatch Army. Prepare for an attack on Wuhan. According to the battle plan, the Botian detachment and other units of the 11th Army marched west and occupied Anqing, Jiujiang and other places, and in mid-August, they had advanced to the north of Ruichang. On August 16, the 11th Army ordered an attack on Ruichang, and the Hakuda Detachment, together with the Maruyama Detachment of the 9th Division, attacked Ruichang from the north and east. 24 Said, Ruichang fell. The Hatada detachment was ordered to rest on the spot. On September 7, the 11th Army ordered the Potian detachment to attack the northwest area of Ruichang. On the 11th, the Botian detachment launched an attack on the mountainous area northwest of Ruichang, and occupied the Ma'anshan-Yanjiashan line that night. On the 12th, the Hatian detachment advanced another 2 kilometers. On the 13th, the Botian detachment had left Ruichang 20 kilometers. On the 14th, the Nagai Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Wing of Taiwan under the jurisdiction of the Potian Detachment, in coordination with other units and the navy, captured the town of Wharf. On the 15th, the whole army of the Potian detachment conquered Kaowuke. On the 16th, the right flank group composed of the 1st Infantry Wing, the 2nd Wing Nagai Brigade and the 1st Mountain Artillery Wing attacked Fuchikou, and the [***] squadron stubbornly resisted. The right flank group, reinforced with a squadron of armored vehicles and a battalion of field heavy artillery, occupied Fuchikou on the 24th. The rest of the Potian detachment formed a left flank cluster to assist the 6th Division, which had suffered heavy losses during the attack on the Tianjiazhen fortress, to occupy the area near Tianjiazhen. On September 25, the 6th Division was replenished, and the left flank cluster of the Potian detachment was rebuilt. On October 8, the Botian detachment and the 9th Division forcibly crossed the Fushui River, and on October 20, they occupied Daye. Continue to march north, occupy Echeng on the 22nd, conquer Gedian on the 25th, enter Wuchang at dawn on the 26th, and stand by in place. The 15th Division's Gaopin Detachment, which was temporarily under his command, continued the offensive and occupied Hanyang on the 27th.

On November 11, after the battle, Major General Shigeichi Hakata was promoted to lieutenant general and transferred to the commander of the 19th Division. The head of the detachment was succeeded by Shojiro Iida. On November 19, the Iida detachment was incorporated into the 21st Army, which had just ended the Guangzhou campaign, and on December 7, the Iida detachment arrived in Guangzhou, and on January 25, 1939, in order to solve the serious problem of insufficient troops, the military headquarters ordered the formation of a mixed brigade in Taiwan, and the Iida detachment was temporarily separated from the 21st Army and reorganized. The brigade commander is still Iida Shojiro, and Taiwan's 1st and 2nd Transport Surveillance Teams have been abolished and incorporated into the Taiwan Engineer Wing, with a total strength of about 13,500 people. Its number greatly exceeds that of other mixed brigades formed in the same period, and even more than the three-unit division regiment dedicated to the garrison. On February 8, 1939, the Taiwan brigade set out from Wanshan Port in Guangdong Province to cooperate with the Japanese Navy to attack Hainan Island. On the evening of February 9, he anchored off the coast of Chengmai Bay, Hainan Island. At 2:30 a.m. on the 10th, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Wings of the Taiwan Brigade were organized into right and left wing clusters respectively and landed at the northeast corner of Chengmai Bay. After going ashore, the right wing group marched towards Qiongshan, and conquered Qiongshan on the 14th; The left-wing cluster occupied Haikou on the 12th.

"Sometimes, when I think that these Taiwanese are willing to fight for the tiger and invade their motherland in turn, I feel angry." Ding Changjian looked indignant: "I really don't understand what these people think, do they feel very glorious and fulfilled when they fight their motherland?" Are they not to be ashamed? ”

"There are objective reasons for this." Ma Debi's face was solemn: "Before the First Sino-Japanese War, Yue Ben did not have the luxury of seizing Taiwan from the Qing political axe. Therefore, with regard to Taiwan, which suddenly arrived, it was said that Ben did not formulate a ruling policy for governing Taiwan in a timely manner. The late 1890s was one of the most intellectually active periods in the history of the country, and various proposals were put forward for the governance of Taiwan. The more enlightened people proposed the adoption of the federal system of the United States and Germany, with Taiwan as an autonomous federation in the name of the Soviet Union; The more conservative people proposed that all the local residents of Taiwan be expelled and that Taiwan be turned into a purely personal land. For the time being, he was unable to determine the ruling policy of Taiwan, so he had no choice but to adopt a policy of 'no policy' and exploring one step at a time.

Although Taiwan became a colony of Yuben, the population of Taiwan was already very dense at that time, and there was not much room to accept immigrants. Just as Britain immigrated to the sparsely populated colonies of Canada and Australia, but was unable to emigrate to the densely populated Indian colonies. Therefore, in order to make Taiwan a 'real colony' where the people live, it is necessary to drive out the local residents.

At that time, it was said that there was an opportunity to drive the Taiwan residents away. In the treaty of cession of Taiwan, the Qing political axe and the Yue Ben political axe stipulated that Taiwan residents had the right to choose whether to return to Chinese mainland as subjects of the Qing Empire or to remain in Taiwan as subjects of the Qing Empire, and the period of choice was two years. Residents of Taiwan who do not return to Chinese mainland within two years automatically become subjects of the Empire.

At that time, the military headquarters was particularly inclined to drive out all the residents of Taiwan and turn Taiwan into a land that was truly claimed to be its own. The Japanese army in Taiwan consciously plundered, beats, and even killed local residents. However, despite saying that he was very brutal, the vast majority of Taiwanese still chose the choice of "endure and not leave". At the end of the two-year option period, only 0.16 percent of Taiwanese returned to Chinese mainland. Taiwanese people refuse to leave Taiwan and return to Chinese mainland, probably because they think that 'the world is as black as a crow', and they are oppressed everywhere.

The fact that the residents of Taiwan did not leave frustrated their plan to turn Taiwan into a real land of their own. ”

Ma Debi groaned there:

"I have to think about how to deal with these 'non-subjects'. Westerners suggested adopting a British-style colonial management style, maintaining Taiwan's local culture and customs, and using Taiwan only as a source of raw materials and a market for the sale of industrial products. The Orientals suggested adopting the Chinese method of ethnic assimilation to assimilate and transform the Taiwanese residents, so that the Taiwanese could become authentic themselves. While the Westerners and the Orientals were arguing endlessly, another serious problem arose in front of him, that is, the problem of funding to rule Taiwan.

In the late 1890s, the fiscal revenue of the political axe was about 80 million yuan per year, while the ruling expenses of Taiwan were as high as 600 to 7 million yuan per year, which became a heavy burden on the political axe. At that time, he was engaged in the movement to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and the huge amount of funds for Taiwan's rule not only prevented him from getting any practical benefits from Taiwan's cession, but on the contrary, it had a considerable negative impact on the movement of making the country rich and strengthening the army. Taiwanese rule is a complete failure economically. Therefore, some people have put forward the proposal of selling Taiwan to the European and American powers at a high price, so that on the one hand, they can get rid of the heavy cost of ruling Taiwan, and on the other hand, they can get the huge amount of money needed to enrich the country and strengthen the army, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

However, the top brass of the political axe did not approve of the plan to sell Taiwan, believing that the sale of Taiwan would make the European and American powers despise the fact that the company had no ability to rule over foreign nations. In order to establish its prestige in the world, it is necessary to do a good job in Taiwan no matter what the cost.

Therefore, the British who were very experienced in colonizing the country were invited as advisers to ask for advice on how to ease the financial pressure on ruling Taiwan and how to govern the so-called Taiwan well! ”
