This [***] general, who has just participated in the winter offensive and has made brilliant achievements, will soon begin a familiar but unfamiliar journey in Taiwan

"Military is secondary, and how to stabilize the situation in the controlled areas as soon as possible is the most important thing!"

Before leaving, Gao Fei's words rang in Ma Debi's ears again.

"Report to the chief, Ding Changjian was ordered to report!"

With this voice, Ding Changjian, the acting commander of the Taiwan Legion, appeared in front of Ma Debi.

Ma Debi nodded and said expressionlessly:

"By order of General Gao Fei, chairman of the Fujian Provincial Political Axe and the final commander of the Fourth Theater, Ma Debi was appointed as the supreme military and political commander of Taiwan and the commander-in-chief of the Taiwan Army. Appointed Ding Changjian as the deputy commander of Taiwan's officers! ”

"Yes!" Ding Changjian replied loudly.

Ma Debi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and while walking forward with Ding Changjian, he asked, "What is the current situation in Taiwan?" ”

Ding Changjian thought for a while: "At present, more than 60% of Taiwan's land is controlled by us, and I say that I control 40% of the land. During this period of time, the two sides have attacked and defended each other, winning and losing half of the game, and in a short period of time, neither of them can move the control area forward more"

Ma Debi nodded: "What about the controlled area?" ”

"It's not very peaceful in the area under control." Ding Changjian replied honestly: "Since I have been in Taiwan for too long, the transformation is very serious. He said that the so-called 'volunteers' organized by me have been operating on the island all along, and many of our soldiers have suffered such losses, and often when they go out together, they are not familiar with the local area, so they are killed or wounded. Before the commander came, we had already lost more than a hundred brothers in this area alone"

Ma Debi's brows were tightly locked, and Ding Changjian continued:

"There are also local businessmen and landlords who are not cooperative, and our grain collection and fundraising work have encountered great obstacles."

"Why don't you come hard?" Ma Debi was dissatisfied.

Ding Changjian smiled bitterly: "Commander, these people are very influential in the local area, once I also tried to come hard, but those people's families, villagers, protégés or something, thousands of people came to Hulala, and I was very embarrassed."

"Embarrassed?" Ma Debi sneered: "Seeing the enemy on the battlefield is still calm, but seeing these old people are cowering?" Senior Commander has repeatedly said that no matter what the price is paid, we must stabilize the situation in Taiwan! ”

As he spoke, he thought for a moment: "Who is the leader among these people?" ”

"The leader is a man named Chen Shuihong, a local businessman who is very influential." Ding Changjian invited Ma Debi into his headquarters and said: "But there is a more important person beside him who gives advice to him, this person is called Li Daying, whose ancestral home is from Aoqilouxia Village, Hukeng Town, Yongding County, Longyan City, Fujian Province. Married to a wife, he was a criminal policeman in Taiwan, so his words carried a lot of weight, and at the same time, "

"Wait?" Ma Debi suddenly interrupted him: "Have you ever been a criminal policeman?" Does he have a son, this year, this year should not be more than twenty years old? ”

"Yes!" Ding Changjian was a little curious about how the chief knew: "He has a son, 17 years old this year, currently in middle school, named Lee Teng-hui, and his real name is Iwata Masao. Sir, how do you know? ”

Ma Debi did not answer him.

This is before he left, Gao Fei took care of himself, I remember Gao Fei also said, if there is really this person, pay special attention to it, and find a suitable opportunity

In fact, Ma Debi didn't understand how Gao Fei could have known that there was a person named Lee Teng-hui in Taiwan, and he didn't know how such a 16- or 7-year-old child could have caused Gao Fei's murder.

But since it's what Goofy commands, just do it

"Iwata Masao, good Chinese go and choose a name." Ma Debi sneered: "In this way, you immediately notify everywhere, just say that I am in office, and the day after tomorrow, I will invite everyone to drink tea and chat, and they must all come." ”

"What if someone doesn't want to come?" Ding Changjian asked tentatively.

Ma Debi smiled slightly: "Use machine guns to frame them!" ”

Ding Changjian also smiled knowingly, it's good that Chief Ma is here. My surname is a soldier, and it is really a little powerless to let myself take care of those administrative affairs.

I was about to ask Chief Ma to rest, but I didn't want Ma Debi to wave his hand: "No need, let's go to the neighborhood first." I've heard that there's a very big minority in the neighborhood called, called, called."

"Bunun." Ding Changjian said: "They are scattered everywhere, and there is no leader system, but the patriarchs of each family preside over tribal affairs together. Based on blood relationship, it is combined with those who have a common ancestor to form a clan group, and is divided into small clans, medium clans, and large clans according to the intensity of their blood surnames, the strength of the combined surnames, and the number of common surnames. Near our station are large clans. What does the chief mean? ”

"Oh." Ma Debi nodded: "Just go there and have a look." ”

Ding Changjian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took Ma Debi and walked out.

The big clan is near the barracks, and as soon as you get out of the barracks, you can see the big clan people. And when those people saw a large number of soldiers walking out of the barracks, they all looked at them with vigilant eyes.

Approaching the area where the largest number of people from the big clan gathered, as soon as they saw a soldier coming in, those clansmen stopped what they were doing one by one and looked at them vigilantly.

The eyes of these people were full of fear, distrust, and even disgust

"See, that's how they saw us from the beginning." Ding Changjian said in a low voice.

Ma Debi smiled slightly: "It's not at the beginning, but these people have been bullied too much before, saying that when I am here, for such a clan, I adopt a high-pressure policy, and over time, as soon as I see someone wearing a military uniform, they naturally have fear and disgust in their hearts."

"It's hard to do," Ding Changjian sighed.

"It doesn't have to be difficult." Ma Debi smiled again: "Go and find their patriarch and a few people in charge." ”

Ding Changjian responded, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Ma Debi took a closer look.

Looking at it this way, it seems that these Bunun people are preparing some kind of sacrificial ceremony. The men of the Bunun tribe are short in stature, and such a short stature can make them easily walk in the mountains and mountains and subdue wild beasts. And those women of the Bunun tribe, listening to Ding Changjian, said that everyone is proficient in planting grains, weaving, carrying weights, making wine, etc.

After a while, the patriarch and a few people in charge were brought over. The patriarch's name is Juhani, and he is the political leader of the clan; The old man on the side was called Isikalans, and he was the shaman who presided over the agricultural rituals; Another middle-aged man with a sturdy body is Kamagan, who is the presiding officer of the special ritual of the Bunun tribe, and is also the tribe's most abundant hunt in the previous year.

Seeing these people standing in front of him with some fear, Ma Debi smiled and said: "I am Ma Debi, the highest military and political chief of the Republic of China in Taiwan. I just arrived today and have come to visit you. ”

Juhani performed the characteristic Bunun courtesy: "Welcome to the general." ”

Isikalans and Kamayun also expressed their welcome, but the moment they leaned over and lifted up, Ma Debi keenly caught a trace of disdain in Kamayan's eyes.

Enmity! It's a hostility! Ma Debi didn't show any expression on his face: "Patriarch, is it a festival of the nobles today?" ”

"Yes." Juhani nodded and said, "Today is our Bunun Weeding Festival, and on this day we will start weeding and praying for the grain to grow and flourish."

"Ah, then I'm lucky enough to be able to visit it today," Ma Debi smiled: "Of course, this must be done with your consent." ”

Juhani and Isikalans deliberated in a low voice for a while, and Juhani clasped his hands together: "The general is willing to visit, and we welcome it." The Bunun are willing to cooperate with any political axe to protect our people. ”

"Not necessarily, not necessarily." Ma Debi said with a smile: "I don't think the Bunun tribe may be willing to cooperate with any political axe!" ”

Juhani and Isi Karans were shocked and looked at each other, but Kama said in a loud voice:

"General, do you mean that our Bunun people are barbaric? Does the surname Tian like rebellion? Or do you think it's necessary to get rid of us? ”

Juhani looked at Kama again and again, for fear of offending the general and bringing great disaster to his own people.

Ma Debi suddenly laughed "haha", making the Bunun people inexplicable, and the laughter suddenly stopped: "Kamayan, you misunderstood what I meant." Then, slowly, he said:

"Ramattah Star!"

"Ramatha Star"! When these five words came out of the mouth of this Han man, all the Bunun people held their breath and looked at this Han general with extremely complicated eyes!

The Ramata Star is a legend of the Bunun people, a legend of rebellion against himself!

This is a Bunun hero!

After the invasion and occupation of Taiwan, he was regarded by the police as "the king of the fierce Tibet" and "the hero of the cancer of the Taitung Hall". The Bunun people respect him as a national hero.

Governor Kuma's "Five-Year Libo Plan" came to an end after the completion of the "Taroko Crusade" in 1914, and the Taiwan Governor's Office used the remaining funds to carry out the "armed seizure" of the aborigines in the east and south, in an attempt to weaken the aboriginal resistance.

"Ramatta Star" has a flexible mind and is good at strategy, brave and resolute, and his actions are erratic, which can be called both wisdom and courage, and Yoshio Asano, the head of the police department of the Taito Agency, is known as the "Hojo Sakumo" among the aborigines.

In 1914, after the Xinwulu Incident, that is, after the Wulushe and other aborigines attacked and killed two police officers stationed there, "Ramatta Star" led his people to escape to Iganovan. Iganovan is located in the depths of the high mountains in the upper reaches of Dalun Creek, at the foot of Xiaoguan Mountain, and only the bumpy and dangerous trails lead to the Baolai Creek Head Society, the Kengtou Society of the Nemoto Deer, and the Shou Society. The Ramatha astrolabe has been based on this for more than ten years, and no police have ever entered it. In 1915, Ramata Xing led his people to the Lakulaku River valley to assist Aliman Xijian and others in attacking and killing 12 policemen, the so-called Oita Incident. In 1929, the map of Taiwan measured by the Land Survey Department of the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army was inaccessible, leaving a blank in this area, and it was the only area in the Taitung Hall that had not yet been surrendered.

Based in Iganovan, the "Ramatta Star" often haunts the vicinity of the Batong Pass and the Viet Guard Road and the Wulu, Saku, Magari Bowl, Madian Gulu and other places in the Xinwulu River Basin, and often leads his clansmen to attack the police in Kaohsiung Prefecture, Hualien Hall, and Taitung Hall in Xinwuluxi. In June 1921, after the completion of the Eight Clearance Crossing, the police launched a punishment action against the anti-Japanese elements of the Oita Incident, and planned to lure the anti-Japanese elements to concentrate on the Tosyo Society, and massacre them collectively, and the brother of the star of Ramatta was killed in this incident, and avenged his brother, but in October, he led his tribe to attack the search team of the Saku road construction project in Fengsaka, and shot and killed the police Hara Shinjiro, Bigo Kazuma and others, because of their influence in the area of the Wulu garrison, they can often influence the tribe, and the police are afraid of their influence in Xinwulu, lest they crusade against it. Since 1922, the police have been adopting a policy of gentleness, meeting with Ramatta Star several times and encouraging him to move near the cordon, but Ramata Star has always been unmoved, and often rebels against the Ruma Police in words.

In 1930, the Guanshanyue garrison road was completed, and the police set up 17 police officers stationed along the line, three temporary police officers and two artillery platforms, and in 1932, it was planned to build a guard road along the left bank of Dalun Creek from Xiama Valley to Kengtoushe, and the official forces not only extended to Kaohsiung Prefecture and Taitung along the main stream of Xinwulu Creek, but also extended to the Dalun Creek basin. It was said that the police were preparing to carry out another test firing of the artillery. In June 1933, Tarom, a member of the Kengtou Society, was found to have returned the borrowed guns with forged guns, and both the real and fake guns were confiscated by the Xiamagu Station, and Talom vowed revenge. In August, Ramata's step-chamber fell ill, and his eldest son, Busa Usa, brought saltpeter to hire a witch doctor with saltpeter as a reward, but was confiscated by the Fujimi station. On the afternoon of September 19, his eldest son Busausa, his fourth son Libari and Tarom cooperated with him to attack and kill three people including Matsuzaki Shigetoshi who were patrolling the Daegwasan station.

After the incident, the official was extremely shocked, and set up a search team of 88 police officers and 140 road construction workers at the Shima Valley station, led by Yonosuke Sasaki, the head of the Rizhi Office, to search for the murderer and build an inter-community security road from Shima Valley to Kengtou in an attempt to solve the problem of Iganovan in one fell swoop. On December 16, Ramatta Xingxing, his eldest son, and fourth son went to visit relatives at the Magari Bowl Society, and were arrested because of the secret report of Salida, the leader of the Dalun Society, and on the 19th, the search team entered Iganova for the first time and arrested the second son Holly and the third son Raho. In January of the following year, the police re-entered Iganovan and burned down all the houses and farms, forcing his people to move to the Lilongshan Society.

Tarom is bold and calm, rich in craftsmanship, familiar with gun-making technology, often commissioned by the nearby clansmen to repair guns, almost to repair guns as a profession, once went to Taitung for sightseeing, saw the waterwheel and envied, after returning to the community to imitate a working waterwheel. After the Daegwasan incident, Tarrom looked calm and went to the Xiamagu station to spy on the case, and was arrested by the police and imprisoned at the same time as Ramata's father and son.

After the Daguanshan incident, the police showed strong force in the Xinwulu area and actively carried out the "group relocation". The Bunun people's anti-Japanese attitude gradually softened, the tribe was forced to move to the cordon, and the ruling power of the Bunun tribe was completely established.

"Ramata Star" is undoubtedly the hero of resistance in the minds of the Bunun people, although the attitude of the Bunun people is not as strong as before, but when the Han general said this name, it immediately rippled in the hearts of the Bunun people!

"General, how do you know about Ramata's star," Juhani's voice trembled as he said this.

Ma Debi smiled slightly and said: "The anti-Japanese heroes of the Bunun ethnic group are also the anti-Japanese heroes of my China. ”

As he spoke, he put away his smile and had a serious expression: "Not only have I not forgotten, but also General Gao Fei, the commander of my Fourth Theater and chairman of the Fujian Provincial Political Axe, has not forgotten either." Before I came to Taiwan this time, Commander Gao repeatedly told me that I must come to the Bunun people to have a look at him and express his respect, and I have lived up to Commander Gao's entrustment. ”

On the other hand, even the front of Kamagan eased a lot, Juhani glanced at Isikalans, Isnikalans left in a hurry, and Juhani accompanied Ma Debi to talk, introducing the sacrificial rites of the Weeding Festival. After a while, Isikalans brought a bowl with an unknown amount of content.

Juhani took it and respectfully handed it to Ma Debi: "General, this is the porridge soup of millet porridge, and it is also the highest ceremony for our Bunun people to entertain guests from afar. ”

Ma Debi took the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and wiped his mouth: "Thank you for the kindness of the patriarch." Today, I am appointed to Taiwan by the Nationalist Axe, not to disturb the people, but to appease the people of Taiwan, to thoroughly expel the Japanese forces, and to restore peace and tranquility in Taiwan. The Bunun tribe is a big family, and I ask the patriarch and you to help me! ”

"The general is polite, the general is polite." Juhani said in a loud voice, and then seemed to remember something: "General, please take a seat, you can say anything to us!" ”
