Chapter Eighty-Three: Little Hinoki Creek Village (1)

Taiwan is a multi-ethnic society, and the Han people who immigrate to Taiwan can be divided into two major ethnic groups, the Hakka people and the Fulao people, according to the differences in language and culture, and according to the difference in their ancestral hometowns, they can be divided into three different groups: Zhang, Quan, and Guangdong. Apex Novel.xstxt.org. The ancestral home is in Zhang, Quan, Fujian, and those who speak Hokkien are called "Hokkien people", and the ancestral home is in Chao and Jia, Guangdong, and those who speak Hakka are called "Hakka".

During the development of Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty, the Hokkien people and the Hakka people held each other together, competing for land and water, and when the conflict intensified, it would lead to violent conflicts and large-scale classified armed fights.

Xiaojunixizhuang is a small village in Taoyuan District, located on the east bank of Xiaojunixi.

Most of the land in Xiaohuixizhuang was originally in the hands of Cantonese immigrants who first reclaimed the land. Although the Min people were later, they won because there were many people, and they also got a lot of land after a long struggle with the Cantonese people.

Xiaohuixizhuang people must ferry to Taoziyuan, there is a public house of Xiaohuixizhuang on the side of the ferry, and there is a small teahouse, Zhuangzi also relies on the ferry to divide the north and south into two pieces, the south is full of Hakka people in Guangdong, and the north is full of Fujian people.

Among the Cantonese people in Xiaohuixizhuang, Zhuang Changliu has the most land, and his prestige is also the highest, and the Fujian people also have a large amount of land to cultivate his fields. Zhuang Changliu was more alert, knew the reason why the people did not fight with the officials, and had close ties with the Manchu government.

Whenever there was an armed fight, Zhuang Changliu showed "not resisting arrest, not killing officials", "erecting a large Qing flag", and relying on the power of the Manchu government to suppress the provocation of the Fujian people. If there was a Fujian riot in the surrounding area, Zhuang Changliu would take the Cantonese to act as the so-called rebel army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and take the opportunity to vent his long-standing resentment against the Min people.

In contrast, the Min people only knew how to use brute force to fight, and did not listen to the Manchu government very well, and were often suppressed.

The Min people of Xiaohuixizhuang are centered on Liu Minyi. Liu Minyi's family also has more than 10 acres of land, he likes to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, practice a good martial arts, and pay special attention to righteousness when dealing with fellow villagers, and always rush to the front line to deal with Cantonese people, so his prestige among the Fujian people is also the highest.

After the autumn hunt in Taipei, the Ming army working group was stationed in Xiaohuixizhuang and lived in the public house. Zhuang Changliu was very apprehensive in his heart, but his appearance was calm. He also obeyed the teachings and obeyed orders, and regarded the Ming army working group as another Manchu official office.

Jiao Changfa, the leader of the working group of Xiaojunxizhuang, was originally from Changzhou and was only in his twenties. Because Jiao Changfa knew a lot of words, he performed well in the Dunan Island Barracks, and was selected to train in the village work workshop for a few days.

After entering the village, the working group held a general meeting as usual to publicize the truth of China's rejuvenation. Based on the methods he learned at the workshop, Jiao Changfa conducted a door-to-door social survey, counted the economic status and composition of the villagers, and assigned activists to preside over the work of the villages.

Zhuang Changliu became the village head, and Liu Minyi became the deputy village head.

The Ming army working group organized a joint defense team in the village, and most of the Cantonese children of Xiaohuixi Zhuang were in the Taipei Liberation Camp for labor reform, and the remaining young people in the village were Fujianese, and Zhuang Changliu was very uneasy, so he discussed with his tenant Zhang Hongtou.

Zhang Hongtou is also a Hakka, after the working group came, he saw that the working group was either organizing singing or organizing meetings all day long, the food was not bad, and the work was not tired, and he was very envious. After receiving Zhuang Changliu's instructions, Zhang Hongtou actively signed up and became the captain of the joint defense team of Xiaohuixi Village.

In the first few days, the people of Xiaohuixizhuang were quite cooperative, and the work of the Ming army working group was carried out very smoothly.

It didn't take long for trouble to come, and the signs of serious antagonism between the Fujian and Guangdong ethnic groups reappeared.

No matter what policies the working group promotes, only if the Cantonese agree with it, the Fujian people will resolutely oppose it; Similarly, if the Min people agree, the Cantonese people will resolutely oppose it, and many of the tasks of the working group will not be arranged.

Jiao Changfa remembered that what he learned at the workshop was to rely closely on the people. Now that the masses of the people are divided into two opposing forces, he will offend the other if he relies on one. Jiao Changfa was in a difficult situation for a while, he didn't learn these things in the workshop, and he didn't know how to open the situation.

Then a lot of trivial things came to the door.

What Cantonese cattle eat the crops of the Min people, and the Min people cut down the branches of the Cantonese people, and so on. There are even gangsters of the Fujian and Guangdong ethnic groups, who gather in small teahouses every day to play cards and gamble for money, causing verbal fights. This kind of trivial matter has to be commented by the working group every day, and Jiao Changfa is quite a headache for this.

On the afternoon of the 10th, the ferry boat on Xiaohui River sent Ping Chongsheng and Zhang Abing of the Taoyuan County Literature and Art Propaganda Team, as well as slide projectors, manpower generators and other equipment to Xiaohui Creek.

Taira Shigemori is a Japanese man in his early twenties, whose original name was Heitaro Inoue. His father was a wild samurai who died in the same hands, and his mother was also a ragtag samurai. In order to make a living, Hei Shigesheng wore shabby and dirty clothes and sold them in the market since he was a child. His mother kept telling him that he was a descendant of the Ping clan and that he must be worthy of the glory of his ancestors, so he resolutely boarded the ship to Daming, and changed his name to Ping Chongsheng, wanting to find another way out.

Ping Chongsheng has been enlightened by his mother since he was a child, and he is more clever, and he learns quickly in the use and maintenance of ordinary machinery such as slide projectors.

Zhang Ah Bing was also a member of the Dunan Island School Barracks, who could speak Hokkien and Hakka, and was very clever and able to speak. He and Ping Chongsheng had one tube of screening and one tube of commentary, and they just formed a propaganda team, and one village and one village took turns to publicize and agitate.

Like all villages in northern Taiwan, the streets of Xiaohui Xizhuang are full of slogans:

Children of China, organize!

Down with the Manchu Tartars!

Down with the heinous Manchu chief Xianfeng!

The Ming Army is a team led by the Chinese Renaissance Party, and it is for the Chinese nation to fight the world!

Long live the Chinese Renaissance Party!

"Welcome, welcome!" Jiao Changfa and people waited on the ferry early.

Seeing that the propaganda team had finally arrived, he was overjoyed, "But I look forward to you, your screening in Dashulinzhuang last night was very sensational, and the propaganda and agitation are still your strength!" ”

Dashulinzhuang is on the other side of the Xiaojunxizhuang River, only more than three miles away. Last night, the big forest village on the other side of the river showed a slide lantern, and many people in Xiaojunxi Village rushed to cross the river to see the strangeness.

For the people of this time and space, the slide is a particularly magical thing.

Last night, Dashulinzhuang screened "The History of Manchu Crimes", which was more than 200 vivid slides, showing the Manchu rebellion against the Ming Dynasty from the wild boar skin (that is, Nurhachi), as well as the various crimes of the Qing soldiers entering the customs, burning, killing, and plundering, Kangqian literary prison, and Daoguang's incompetence and loss of power and humiliation of the country.

These common people had seen this novel form of visual viewing there, and for the first time they saw the obscene images of Manchu chieftains such as wild boar skins and Huang Taiji, and this visual impact shocked people.

The people of Xiaohuixi Village, who have seen the slide show, have been on display for a whole day today:

"You know what? Nurhachi means wild boar skin, and that's an interesting name. ”

"That old slave wild boar skin is really shameless, after being captured alive by the handsome Li Chengliang, he knelt in front of Li Dashuai and begged bitterly, scolding his father for not being a thing, and he wanted to recognize Master Li as his father-in-law, so he survived, otherwise ~~~"

Those who have seen it have said that their eyebrows are dancing, and those who have not seen it scratch their ears and cheeks one by one.

Last night, Zhang Hongtou couldn't run out to watch the slide show because he had to stand guard, and he was annoyed for a whole day.

This is the Daming propaganda team that shows the magic slide show! Seeing the arrival of Ping Chongsheng and Zhang Abing, Zhang Hongtou's eyes radiated eagerly.

He took a few members of the joint defense team to carefully help carry the slide lantern equipment, and treated Ping Chongsheng and Zhang Abing like relatives, asking for warmth, being attentive and caring.

"Great news, great news!" Zhang Hongtou couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and struck the gong all the way, announcing it in the village, "After dark tonight, outside the small teahouse on the street of Xiaohuixizhuang, the most magical slide film in the world will be screened." ”

Hearing the shouting, the people of the village could not sit still at home and walked out of their homes one after another. Whether it was a Fujian or a Cantonese person, they rushed to ask Zhang Hongtou for details.

That's great!!!

I heard that the Ming official who showed the magic slide lantern had arrived in Xiaojunxi Village, and the people of the whole village were overjoyed, and everyone eagerly looked forward to it, and the sky got dark as soon as possible.

In the evening, there was already a circle of people sitting in the open space in front of the small teahouse at the head of the village, a slide projector was placed in the center of the clearing, and a big screen was also hung on the wall of the teahouse.

Originally, showing movies was a good form of publicity and education, but due to the limited conditions, the executive committee decided to use the slide projector as one of the main publicity tools of the team after repeated research. The industrial port uses electronic components and glass lenses brought from the original time and space, and imitates a number of dual-purpose slide projectors that can use gasoline lamps and electric lamps as light sources in the sixties and seventies of the original time and space, which are used for the propaganda and agitation of the revival of China.

Slides are printed on film by using the process of computer manuscript and small offset printing machine, and the pictures are printed on the film.

There are four main components of a dual-purpose slide projector: a fan-cooled bulb (or other light source), a reflector and a concentrated beam lens, a slide carrier, and a focusing lens. To prevent damage to the slide, there is a piece of glass that absorbs heat energy between the focusing lens and the slide, allowing visible light waves to pass through and absorb infrared light.

The light source passes through the slides and the lens to create a magnified image that is projected onto a projection screen at a vertical angle, so the viewer can see the image.

The sky darkened slightly, the people in the south and north of the village all rushed to the street, and the people in the open space in front of the small teahouse gathered more and more, and it was divided into two pieces with a tacit understanding, the people sitting in the south were all Hakka, and the people sitting in the north were all Fujian, and there was an aisle in the middle.

A member of the joint defense team began to stomp the bike-type manpower generator, and as soon as the machine turned, a mercury lamp suspended in mid-air of the field emitted a dazzling light.

The people on the field suddenly coaxed, "It's bright!" It's lit up! ”
