No.12 Moments: The Venus Flag on Taiwan Island
Autumn of the fourth year of Chongzhen, southern Taiwan, Kaohsiung
The autumnal equinox of the fourth year of Chongzhen had just passed, and the early morning air in Kaohsiung Harbor was already faintly chilled.
——Although the Kaohsiung Port is on the boundary line between the tropics and the subtropics, it was still greatly affected by the anomalous solar activity during the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty.If it were in the 21st century, even in Kaohsiung in winter, the average temperature would be above 15 degrees Celsius, and last winter on the island of Taiwan, there were many places with higher altitudes that were covered with white snow!The climate disorder throughout the entire territory of China during the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty can be seen from this.
It was early in the morning, and under the radiance of the morning light, the morning fog covering Kaohsiung Harbor was about to dissipate, and the entire harbor was coated with a blurred color by the soft morning light.The fishing boats docked at the port set sail one after another, the chirping seagulls shuttled and flew over the harbor, the curling smoke continued to rise, and the melodious bugles sounded in the barracks and fortresses... Everything shows that this emerging city is waking up .
On the fort of Kaohsiung Port, a Venus flag with a cross star on a blue background is flying high - Lingao crossing people directly "borrowed" the flag of the later NATO...Suddenly, a puff of white smoke came out of the fort, and the roar shook facing the sea.This is the salute being fired to welcome the arrival of a warship.
"... Is Kaohsiung in front of you? Another place I've never heard of... This world is really big!"
Second Lieutenant Zhen Huan, with tattoos on his face, stood on the bow of the "Kaohsiung" cruiser, looking at the vast island in front of him, as well as this vibrant new city, the eye-catching red brick customs building by the sea, the towering unfinished The bell tower, and the vast sea that seems to be infinitely wide around...
Recalling that just two short years ago, I was still in that small Li village, entangled in the boring power disputes among hundreds of people all day long. The former young master of Li village in Hainan Island, Today's "Second Lieutenant of the Australian Song Fubo Army" Zhen Huan couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart for a while.
The regular army under the jurisdiction of the Lingao Traveler Senate is mainly divided into two major systems: the Funing Army stationed in Fujian and wearing the official skin of the Ming Dynasty, and the Fubo Army stationed in Hainan Island. In addition, there are sword-drawing teams, militia teams, It is supplemented by a number of sporadic independent units, including the National Police.Last year, Taiwan was still the territory of the Funing Army, but this year, as the main force of the Funing Army stationed in Taiwan was successively recruited to go to Ryukyu and Japan, and then went to war with the Spaniards in northern Taiwan, the Kaohsiung Port’s standing The troops became quite empty, and the defense pressure suddenly increased a lot.
Therefore, in view of Kaohsiung Mayor Wei Bachi's repeated requests for help and the Fubo Army's repeated requests for battle, the Senate transferred two Li infantry companies from the Fubo Army's mountain infantry battalion. - Sail hybrid cruiser shipped to Kaohsiung for reinforcements.
——Due to the huge gap in customs and culture, the Li and Miao population in Hainan Island has long been an unusable manpower for the traversers based here, and it is also a potential unstable factor, which makes the implementation of the project suffering from a shortage of labor resources The committee has been brooding.
Fortunately, although these ethnic minority compatriots are not qualified workers and farmers, they are excellent forest hunters and fighters—so, in order to deepen the connection and bond between the two parties, the Fubo Army began to recruit the Li Miao population of Hainan Island on a large scale Joined the army and organized as full-time mountain infantry: The local Li people and Miao people in Hainan Island have been accustomed to walking through the mountains and tracking prey since they were young.After joining the army, because of the sufficient nutrition in the diet, malaria was eradicated with the efforts of doctors, and rifles, grenades, crossbow bolts, and the famous Gurkha dog-leg scimitar were also distributed. The quality of these soldiers has been further improved. The range has increased, and the combat ability has also become stronger.
Since these Li and Miao mountain infantry formed an army on Hainan Island, they have been moving to various counties on the island to carry out tedious and harsh missions of suppressing bandits. With the cooperation of the National Army and the mountain infantry, almost no bandit can stop Fu Bo The dense mountains and forests could not be an obstacle to the Li and Miao soldiers' attacks. On the contrary, these mountain infantry with amazing feet could often use the mountains and forests to ambush and sneak attack the Han bandits.
When the bandits collapsed and fled, what awaited them was the cruelest pursuit - facing the mountain infantry who can walk like flying in the jungle, even the bandits who are most familiar with the terrain are often at a disadvantage because of their speed and endurance , and it is difficult to get rid of the pursuers.With the cooperation of the military dogs, any bandits' delusional attempt to hide and hide could not succeed in front of these Li Miao warriors who lived on hunting and were good at tracking their prey.
Even the bandits who claim to be familiar with the road are often unable to escape such a tough and cold-blooded pursuit, gradually lose the will to resist, and finally suffer from a mental breakdown due to hunger, fatigue and terror, and collapse on the road in disarray, letting the pursuer The soldiers hacked and killed at will.
And even the bandits who still have the strength to fight have no chance of winning against the mountain infantry who has undergone professional killing training-the weapons equipped by the mountain infantry are stronger than ordinary swords chopping ability.This kind of scimitar itself distributes the weight at the end of the blade to increase the speed and power of the slash, and the heavier blade can naturally cause deeper and heavier wounds, and even cut off muscles and bones in one go!
Therefore, those bandits who were chased and bitten by the mountain infantry were usually surrounded by the mountain infantry wearing camouflage uniforms and painted on their faces before they noticed any abnormalities at all, as if they were hunting Eld's deer, and then rained Bolts came from all angles, taking the lives of those who led them.Then before the rest of the bandits could react, mountain infantry with scimitars rushed out from the forest and trees in groups, quickly creating a terrifying field of Shura where blood splattered and severed limbs and heads flew—everyone who was bent The guy who was slashed by the knife must be dead or maimed; even those bandits who were lucky enough not to be killed because they surrendered in time will often be frightened by this hell scene to have a lifelong nightmare.
The outstanding performance of the Li and Miao mountain infantry and the great role they played in the battle against bandits made Lingao crossing people overjoyed.And the incidental political effects are even more noteworthy—for example, Second Lieutenant Zhen Huan, the company commander of the first company of the Mountain Infantry Battalion, is the son of Zhen "Aoya" (similar to the headman) in the "Cut Duel Village" in Changhua County. Originally, he left the stockade to join the army voluntarily, just to meet his former lover Yu Da: the intricate power struggle between the king and the two families in "Cut Against the Village" unfortunately involved this innocent woman, Ruo Da, and made her almost die.After Qi Da escaped the catastrophe by chance, he chose to leave the stockade and work as an errand in the "Australian" territory to make a living. He was unwilling to go back to the stockade and reconcile with Zhen Huan again.
Therefore, Master Zhenhuan, who forgot everything for love, then simply left the stockade and voted for "Australian Shorthair", and performed very well after joining the Fubo Army. Unlike other poor hunters who are suffering haha, Master Zhenhuan Originally, he belonged to the upper class in Lizhai. He was well-nourished, had no worries about food and drink, and was physically strong. His own hunting ability was also exercised quite well. Therefore, he performed particularly well in recruit training, and scored excellent in both shooting and fighting skills. .Later, in the actual battle against bandits, relying on the hunting skills he had developed since childhood, Zhen Huan was always able to spot the bandits first. It has become a punching bag for Zhen Huan to vent his grievances: In the action of chasing down bandits, Zhen Huan especially likes to fight with machetes rather than sneaky crossbow arrow attacks. Heads, the remaining dozen or so bandits saw those accomplices who were slowly falling down with their heads in different places - blood was still spraying out from the cut of the neck, and the blood-soaked glow that looked like a demon god, unexpectedly fell directly Terrified, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
In addition to fighting hard, after discovering that Qi Da can already recognize and write, in order to make himself worthy of her, Zhen Huan also asked the instructor to learn Chinese characters-few Li people are willing to learn culture , This request won the unanimous appreciation of the higher authorities, and it was approved immediately. A study class was also set up among the mountain infantry, allowing Li and Miao soldiers to learn Chinese characters voluntarily, which was regarded by the executive committee as a major progress in the work of ethnic integration.
By this summer, the banditry on Hainan Island had been basically wiped out, and the mountain infantry of the Li and Miao ethnic groups had basically completed their integration with the old troops of the Fubo Army.Zhen Huan was promoted because of his outstanding performance in the battle against bandits. He was exceptionally promoted to the rank of second lieutenant and served as the company commander of the first company, becoming the first Li nationality to be promoted to lieutenant officer.Later, he was ordered to lead a team to reinforce Kaohsiung, Taiwan, to fill the gap in troops due to the transfer of the Funing Army.
For Li warriors who have never been to sea in this life, it is really a long journey from Qiongzhou to Taiwan. (The cargo ship that carried the traversers into this world) was the largest ship with the displacement, but the first time he went to sea was nearly three days of continuous sailing without docking, which made him a little mentally exhausted and his feet weak.
However, after hearing the command to get off the ship, Second Lieutenant Zhen Huan immediately forced himself to cheer up. After randomly checking the equipment of several soldiers and encouraging several subordinates who were seasick, he led the first officer of the Mountain Infantry Battalion The company disembarked from the gangway, and then proceeded along a road paved with cinders to downtown Kaohsiung—as a naval port and coal filling station, there were a large number of cinders and coal ash left over from warships and armed merchant ships in Kaohsiung Port. Can be used for road hardening work.
Like other port cities, not far from the wharf of Kaohsiung, there is a commercial street that has begun to take shape. It looks quite prosperous. Although there is only one street less than 500 meters away, there are many shops on both sides, and there are all kinds of sensuality. There are all kinds of recreational places and handicraft workshops, and there is even a brothel.Sailors of different skin colors, army and navy soldiers, merchants from Zhejiang and Fujian, fishermen, residents of indigenous tribes, prostitutes from Japan Village (the Japanese immigration stronghold in Taiwan at that time)... Shuttle between the streets and alleys.Overall the business atmosphere is quite good
In particular, the Kaohsiung Branch of the Lingao Cooperative, which was run by Transverse, not only has the task of attracting small businessmen from the coast of Fujian to Kaohsiung for business.The Kaohsiung branch also undertakes import and export trade with the Dutch, so it is quite large: a small two-story building with overhanging eaves and large glass windows.There are all kinds of "foreign goods" inside, and the middle-aged waitresses wearing blue cloth "Hanfu style" dresses open their voices and attract customers with various accents.In addition, there are also a few North Korean security forces with big sticks in their hands and big hats-foreign sailors and local natives often cause trouble on the streets because of alcoholism.
When Second Lieutenant Zhen Huan led a group of Li soldiers across the city, it immediately attracted the attention of many people—the expressions of the Dutch were stern and complicated, and the reactions of the natives were curious and fearful, and there were also many small traders and The wandering warblers on the street thought they were coming for business, and rushed to sell their goods and bodies to the soldiers, but they were all rejected.Everyone just marched towards the city hall under the call of the military order.
The Kaohsiung City Hall, which was just completed this year, is a small two-story Western-style building. Although it is a wooden structure, it is built on a stone foundation half as high as a person. The outside is painted with white lime, which looks beautiful in the sun. Both stylish and beautiful.
In front of the city hall is the Kaohsiung Municipal Square paved with gravel, which is also the core of the city in the future. Therefore, along the ground around the square, bamboo poles and white lime lines are used to divide the land everywhere, and various public and public buildings are being built one after another. Commercial Building.Newly opened shops have already stood on some plots, while others are still under construction.Stones, cement, yellow sand and lime are piled everywhere.The professional construction workers and labor teams dispatched from the Hainan Island headquarters shuttled back and forth, and the steam pile drivers and labor chants echoed one after another, looking very busy.
At this time, many rattan tables and chairs had been placed in the center of the square, and beside it was a temporary kitchen shed. A stove was directly built on the open space, and baskets of pots, pans, and various vegetables and fish were assembled. Looking from a distance, I can see the flames are blazing and steaming.The aroma of cooking dishes can be smelled throughout the square.When the Li nationality soldiers arrived, the cooks were already serving up plate after plate of hearty dishes.
The main course of this feast is venison cooked in various ways-this is currently Taiwan's second largest export material after deerskin.Venison is almost all lean meat, not much fat, and the taste is relatively light, which is suitable for the hotter climate here.Then there are quite a variety of sea fish, shrimp and crab, shellfish, tropical fruits and vegetables.In addition to rice wine and kvass, iced lemonade is also available for drinks.
During the voyage journey in the past few days, the officers and soldiers of the mountain infantry battalion have been gnawing on the "navigation dry food" on board, and they have lost their appetite.Seeing tables of delicious food and smelling the tempting aroma of wine and vegetables, everyone's eyes turned green and their mouths were drooling. They just obeyed the military discipline and dared not move around for the time being.When an officer who was in charge of welcoming them announced with a smile on his face, all the food and wine on the square was a welcome banquet for them.All the honest and honest Li warriors cheered and cheered, and they rushed over one by one, sat down and ate.

While Second Lieutenant Zhenhuan was taking his subordinates to eat in the open air in the square, in the city hall separated by a wall, Wei Bachi, the mayor of Kaohsiung, was also on the top floor terrace flying the Venus flag, overlooking the new "Central" This team of reinforcements looked at the appearance of these Li warriors.
"...Only two companies! Although it seems to be able to fight, it seems to be too little..."
Sighing, he smacked his lips a little dissatisfied, and raised his head to cast his gaze into the distance—from the roof of the city hall, one can almost see the whole picture of the "territory" under Kaohsiung City: Although The city hall is very impressive, as are the squares, roads, docks and commercial streets.But when it comes to places that "really look like a city", there is only such a small area in the whole of Kaohsiung.
As for the rest of the current neighborhoods in Kaohsiung City, they are basically a huge shanty town, but the buildings are more orderly.As far as the eye can see, there are rows and rows of undecorated wooden houses on stilts painted with coal tar.Most of them are single-story, but there are also some sporadic two-story wooden houses scattered—Taiwan Island has always had many typhoons, earthquakes, and mudslides. For the early settlers, this kind of wooden house is more suitable for the environment.
From the shanty town to the outer periphery, there is a fortification composed of earth barriers, bamboo fences and trenches. Along the line are wooden watchtowers with thatched tops, which delineate the dividing line between the urban area and the suburbs.On the vast plains in the outskirts, some farmland and plantations have been opened up.And several unfinished, slightly messy roads, ditches and channels.Extending a little further along the road, you can see more than a dozen scattered settlements, which constitute the satellite villages and towns guarding Kaohsiung Port - including the "standard village" established by the Lingao Senate during the two years of migration and immigration, There is also the heritage of Zhang Wei, He Bin and others who traversed in the early years to recruit refugees and reclaim Taiwan. The total population of all kinds is about 2.
Looking outside from these settlements, there is a vast expanse of wilderness and dense jungle, and even the vegetation is basically original.The vast beaches are covered with mangroves, and the undulating plains are full of dense banyan trees, cycads, and bamboos... In the entire field of vision, there are very few cultivated lands that have been reclaimed. All traces of human activities can only be described as It is an embellishment of natural vegetation.
From the point of view of tourism alone, this is definitely a tropical seaside ecological beauty loved by later generations of petty bourgeoisie.But for Mayor Wei Bachi, he prefers to see the chimneys and the golden rice waves. The beautiful scenery in front of him will only make him deeply worried and under great pressure-looking at this wild land surrounded by nature Colonial port scenery, how many years will it take to build this so-called Kaohsiung City into the capital of Taiwan Island, a regional transportation hub connecting Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, a fortified base for the Navy, and a starting point for Taiwan?
Relying on the inheritance left by Zhang Wei before, as well as refugees from various provinces and Nanyang slaves collected and transferred by the Senate in the past two years, and some Fujianese veterans who ran over from Beigang (the Chinese settlement under the Dutch colony of Zeelandia in Taiwan) Immigrants, currently in the territory of Kaohsiung, already have a population of about 3.But after there were more people, the pressure on Wei Bachi's head also increased.He knew that although the Executive Committee did not issue a wasteland reclamation goal, Kaohsiung City faced the vast Chianan Plain, which was the most important agricultural area in Taiwan in the 21st century, and the Senate had high expectations for the agriculture here. High.If I have been unable to produce solid performance, the mayor of Kaohsiung does not have to do it.
——You know, although the group of time-travelers in Lingao sometimes laugh at themselves as "five-hundred waste wood", in fact, this time-traveling team is definitely full of talents: masters can form a company, doctors can form a platoon, There are countless turtles who have been gilded in European and American universities, and there are even yamen who shoot guns and fly planes in the United States.The post of mayor of Kaohsiung under Wei Bachi's ass, but I don't know how many people are eyeing it, hoping that he can replace it!
Therefore, in order to achieve the great cause of Lingao crossing people, Wei Bachi must complete the initial reclamation of the Jianan Plain as soon as possible, establish an intensive state-owned farm, and then achieve self-sufficiency in food and agricultural products. Send out a large amount of surplus food to support other areas.
However, with the equipment and manpower at hand, it is still a bit difficult to reclaim this kind of original ecological land with all the raw land and extremely dense vegetation on a large scale-especially the vegetation here is very developed, even if it is used after setting fire to the wasteland. When oxen plow the land, there is often a situation where the oxen are not strong enough.Having to rely on manual hoeing to plow the land made the labor force required for reclamation extremely large, and various casualties and accidents continued one after another.
In addition, the aborigines on Taiwan Island are also a major threat to Kaohsiung City's land reclamation.
According to Wei Bachi's original idea, after the large-scale reclamation of Taiwan and the construction of Kaohsiung City, he had to play the classic role of a Western colonist who used glass beads to defraud the aborigines of their land and trick them into writing a land sale contract.According to Zhang Wei, the pioneer, when he led a group of people to settle in Taiwan, he did annex the former Zheng Zhilong and Yan Siqi's settlement immigrants and retired old pirates, and then secretly dispatched them to Huangshi. With the assistance of Ning Jun, he fought fiercely with the natives a few times before barely gaining a firm foothold.
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Wei was sent back to Penghu Island and the Lingao crossing people took over the area around Kaohsiung Port, those old immigrants who were pirates had been subdued by Zhang Wei for several years, and even Taiwan natives People also ran away after hearing the wind and disappeared—although the scouts sent by Wei Bachi found some native villages and fields within a radius of a hundred miles, they were deserted for a long time, and the people inside had already fled to the interior. Lu went.
During the construction process of the next two years, although there were occasional natives who came to spy quietly, they never contacted the land reclamators in Kaohsiung Port, let alone came to buy things in the port market... However, the temporary "peaceful coexistence" ", does not mean that the threat of the aborigines is gone, such a strange calm makes Wei Bachi feel uneasy, worrying all day whether something unexpected will happen next.
Last year, due to the presence of an elite Funing Army stationed there, there was no need to worry about the safety of Kaohsiung Port.But this year, the garrison at Kaohsiung Port was dispatched by Huangshi to crusade against Japan and Ryukyu. Even though the current expedition has ended, this force will continue to stay in the Keelung area in northern Taiwan, attacking the local Spanish strongholds, in an attempt to seize the sulfur mines there .There are only some miscellaneous guards, the North Korean stick team, and the Japanese security forces left here in Kaohsiung Port. Wei Bachi has been worried about this all day long... Fortunately, the reinforcements have finally arrived!Let him finally breathe a sigh of relief...

Although the thriving Kaohsiung Port looks so vibrant, in the eyes of others, it is just a hopeless purgatory.
——Anoki is an aborigine on the Malay Peninsula. He was originally a small leader in the tribe. He has a wife and children, and he lives comfortably.It is a pity that unfortunately lost in a battle with a hostile tribe, and has since become a prisoner.Afterwards, although Arnold was not tortured and sacrificed to the gods unfortunately, he became a "living commodity" for the arms trade between the elders of the hostile tribe and the red-haired merchants, and changed from a captive to a slave.
Then, he experienced a nightmare-like sea voyage, and was trafficked by red-haired merchants to Sanya, far away from his hometown, where he became a slave of "Australians".In that dark place, no one cared about Arnold's name, and only gave him a cold code name: A230385.
After working in Sanya for a year, due to the large-scale agricultural development in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Arnold was transferred to Kaohsiung to work as a coolie for land reclamation.
Although it is already a slightly chilly autumn and the Little Ice Age with global low temperature, the weather in Kaohsiung, Taiwan is still very hot around noon.
Under the dizzying bright sun, Anoki struggled to carry a basket of weeds and gravel, and moved slowly—although his dysentery had just been healed and his body was still weak, but under the fierce supervision of the overseers Under the stick and whip, Arnold still had to continue working.
Compared with the Sanya slave camp on Hainan Island, which has survived the most terrifying start-up period despite the harsh conditions and the death rate has been greatly reduced, Kaohsiung is still full of virgin forests. The reclamation process is very difficult and dangerous. The slaves During land reclamation, you have to face sneak attacks from various poisonous insects and snakes anytime and anywhere—you may be bitten to death by the poisonous snake hidden under it when you inadvertently turn over a rotten leaf; and the bite of mosquitoes is even more serious. It is hard to prevent, but the tropical epidemic that spreads through it has always been the number one cause of death among residents of Kaohsiung City in recent years.
Obviously, slaves without human rights are the group of people who are most threatened by diseases in the entire Kaohsiung Port, and who receive the least medical care and rest.Arnold doesn't know how long he can live, but he knows that if he continues to stay here, he will definitely die—he remembers that when he came here in winter, there were still five or six people with the number starting with A23 in the same batch as him, but when they arrived Now, he is the only one left.That's why Arnold had already planned his escape a month ago, preparing to escape with more than [-] other slaves.They hid part of the food assigned by the overseers half a month ago, preparing it as dry food on the way to escape, and now they are just waiting for a suitable opportunity...
Today, the task assigned by Arnold is still land reclamation. "Australians" usually set fire to a piece of land first, and then the slaves manually clean up the trees, debris and stones that have not been completely burned, and level the land—because the rainforest Wet climate burns are usually not adequate and go out quickly.The number of steam engines that can be used to level the land at Kaohsiung Port is limited, and most of the land preparation work can only be done by slaves.
And this is the escape opportunity in Arnold's eyes - it is impossible to escape from the camp. The camp where the slaves are held is surrounded by barbed wire, and there are tall watchtowers. Patrols, although slaves escaped at night often happened, most of the sporadic and unorganized fugitives could not escape the camp at all, or they were caught by the bullets of the security forces before they ran far from the camp, and some of them were not beaten. The dead guy will soon be thrown to the ground by the vicious hounds.But when the slaves go out to open up wasteland, there will be a lot fewer soldiers monitoring them, and at this time the slaves have labor tools in their hands, but there is no barbed wire around them. This is obviously the best time to escape.
Although even at the land reclamation site, there must be security forces and military dogs watching, but individual slaves still cannot escape.But if a lot of people join together and escape separately, some of them will still be able to escape after all. As for who can escape successfully, it depends on luck.
Through observation between work, Arnold successfully found a natural ditch washed out by the rain, which could be used as a hidden path for him to escape.And the end of the ditch is the vast forest that symbolizes freedom, and now there is only one chance - although the slave owner and Zhou Papi have many things in common, a slave who can run away is different from a long-term worker who can't run away, so the supervisor never They will be released from the camp when the light is dim in the morning, but they will not drive the slaves out to work until the sun rises and the sky is bright, and they will finish their work before dusk.But the climate here in Taiwan is quite special, and sometimes even in the afternoon, the mountain fog will suddenly rise... and this is the opportunity that Arnold and the others are waiting for...
sex
The mountain fog in the afternoon gradually dissipated, revealing pools of puddles scattered in the mountains and forests. Suddenly, the sun penetrated through the gaps in the leaves and shone on the shallow puddles, reflecting a dazzling flash.Birds and insects rang out from time to time in the jungle, and then suddenly there was a "swiping" sound of rubbing grass leaves - I saw a fat and strong black boar walking out of the jungle leisurely, sniffing here and there Sniffing, seems to be looking for food.
Suddenly, the wild boar seemed to sense something, and raised its head uneasily—although it didn’t see anything unusual, but the survival instinct unique to a certain wild animal still made it feel as if it was being stared at by some terrible predator. up.
But before it could take any action, a sharp javelin shot out from behind the bushes, directly pierced the wild boar's eyes, and penetrated deeply into its skull!After a cry of grief, the dying wild boar continued to scurry for more than ten steps, but finally fell down powerlessly.
After a while, several hunters wrapped in animal skins jumped out from the bushes. The man headed by him was Mona, the young leader of the Madou Club. Although he had just hit a big prey, there was no trace of joy on his face.
What many people don't know is that, perhaps because of their long-term contact with the civilization of the Central Plains since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Li people in Hainan Island are relatively backward in social form, but they are by no means cannibals.However, the aborigines of Taiwan Island who came into contact with the Central Plains civilization later are the real cruel headhunters.
What's more terrible is that the homicide headhunters of Taiwanese natives are often not for the purpose of robbing property and vendetta - of course, it would be better if they could kill enemies or rob property, most of the time it is just to prove that they can kill, or just It’s just adding decorations to the room, just like many hunting enthusiasts in Canada and the United States in later generations like to make specimens of bear heads or elk heads that they hunted and hang them on the wall.
Whenever the boys of Taiwan’s aborigines come of age, these teenagers will hold a “chuucao”—that is, headhunting. As their coming of age ceremony, they will sneak attack on other tribes, and then hang the hunted heads at the gate of their own villages. shelf to celebrate his own adulthood.
——Based on the concept of Taiwanese aborigines, it seems that only boys who have killed someone can be considered a man and are eligible for facial tattoos...
Year after year, the aborigines in Taiwan have lived such a barbaric and bloody life: chasing wild animals in the forest, drinking from mountain springs, beheading enemies, dancing around campfires at night, and eating meat.For them, life is a sacrifice, and death in battle is the highest pride.
The Madou Society is the largest indigenous tribe in the southern plains of Taiwan, with a population of over a thousand households. As the son of the leader of the Madou Society, Mona wanted to be a village hero since he was a child.And in the 14-year-old coming-of-age ceremony "coming out of the grass", he really performed well. Through a clever ambush, he successfully killed two hunting natives of the Xingang Society and escaped the pursuit of the Xingang Society. The severed heads of these two unlucky ghosts were returned.
From that day on, Mona gloriously passed the test of the ancestral spirit, qualified for the tattoo, and became a true warrior.
In the days that followed, in order to prove his greatness and extraordinaryness and make the surrounding tribes tremble when they heard his name, Mona was very keen on "making grass"... To this day, in the house of this "hero" More than thirty collectibles have been displayed, including old and young, men and women, most of them are the heads of Taiwanese natives, some heads belong to unlucky Han traders, and even a few heads of red-haired men.
Such frequent "outing of grass" naturally brought many enemies to the Madou Club, but neither Mona nor his father, the previous leader of the Madou Club, was too worried about it.Compared with other tribes on this island, Madou Club itself has a large population and can mobilize more than 500 fighters. It has a crushing force advantage in the battle with other tribes.Another big tribe nearby, Jialiuwan Society, is also a close ally of Madou Society.The "thunderbolts" of the red-haired people are very powerful, but they are few in number, and Madou Club is not afraid of them. As long as they are half a day away from Dayuangang, they are no longer within the sphere of influence of the red-haired people.So Mona and his father have always believed that there is no force in this world that can threaten their tribe and hunting grounds.
However, since six years ago, Madoushe finally encountered a real enemy: a group of Han aliens from the other side of the sea landed in Madoushe's hunting ground, and this group of people did not come and go in a hurry like those sea merchants in the past , but open up wasteland to log and build houses, it seems that they want to live here forever.
If they had just occupied the desolate beach called "Dagou", Madoushe might not have cared much about it, but these Han people kept making progress, and kept going deeper into the inland, and soon gradually approached Madoushe. several major settlements.Naturally, Mona's father could not tolerate the encroachment of the tribe's hunting grounds, so he took the warriors of the tribe to "grass", killed several of them, and then cut off their heads to pay homage to the ancestors as punishment for offending Ma. The sins of the sacred hunting grounds of Doushe.But the other party also retaliated and burned down a small village in Madou Club.
This kind of sporadic fighting lasted for a long time, and neither side could do anything to the other.Although the Madou Club killed more Han people by relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the Han people always had backup coming from across the sea... Finally, a decisive battle broke out. Under the protection of the ancestor spirits, two hundred reinforcements from the Wanshe entered the village of the Han people.But what greeted them was filled with gunpowder smoke and bursts of intensive gunshots!More dense than the sound of thunderstorms Mona heard when it was raining!Unexpectedly, the Han people have so many "thunderbolts"!There are more red-haired people than Dayuangang!
For a while, I only heard the sound of "thunderbolts" in the smoke, one after another, and red flames were everywhere.By the time the gunpowder cleared, all the tribal warriors rushing in front of the team had been knocked down.Mona's father was also bleeding from his chest, and was the first to fall amidst the dense gunfire. Mona was horrified when he saw this, and quickly helped his father who was still bleeding with a soldier, turned around and ran towards the village desperately .
And after the insidious Han people released the "thunderbolts", many spearmen in iron armor rushed out from all directions, blocked many warriors who had no time to escape, and smashed their desperate resistance, allowing them to fight again. Nor can they return to their homes.
On that day, Mona never felt that the journey back to the main village of Madoushe was so long. His father's blood almost stained his whole body red, but even so, his father, who had only his last breath, was still weak in his ears. He kept muttering, we must protect the tribe well, and we must not let the enemy enter... Mona wanted to cry, but the warrior never had such an expression of crying, and could only vent his pain through constant howling.
Mona's father did not return to the village alive in the end, and only half of the Madou Club warriors who came back alive did not bring any enemy's head. Grass.
Amidst the gloom and gloom, Mona inherited the position of the leader of the Madou Club.In the following days, the Han people sent more large ships to Dagou, and more and more Han people landed, to the extent that the number of warriors who went to investigate could not be counted clearly.Faced with such an irresistible enemy, for the safety of the Madou Club, Mona had to retreat inland with his tribe, abandoning the hunting grounds near the landing site of the Han people, as well as many hillside rice fields that had been reclaimed... Although the members of the club Since then, his life has become a little more difficult, but he has finally avoided the disaster of destruction for the time being.
However, with the passage of time, more and more Han people landed on the seashore, and they transported the population at an incredible speed-most of them were Han Chinese, but there were also many strange alien races that Mona did not know. Building houses, reclaiming vast tracts of land...
Is this the "power of civilization" that the red-haired man who came to preach last time boasted to himself?Mona stroked the dry head of the red-haired missionary, watching all these changes with fear and helplessness. After inheriting his father's position as the leader, he had to consider the survival of the whole family, so , he does not want to continue to conflict with the powerful Han people, and he no longer often goes to "out of the grass" to prove himself as before.
But the problem is that those greedy Han Chinese not only occupied the original hunting grounds of Madoushe, but also continued to burn wasteland and reclaim land. Their forces are getting closer and closer to the new settlement of Madoushe. Recently, there have been some sporadic conflicts. There have been many confrontations, but in the end it ended with the retreat of the Madou Club. Many young people in the tribe were outraged and clamored all day to go down the mountain and go to the town of these foreigners to produce grass.
For such a situation, Mona felt infinitely entangled and confused: for the survival of the tribe, the elders told him to endure it.But the Han Chinese are occupying more and more land, turning more forest land into farmland.The hunting grounds of the tribal warriors shrank accordingly, and the prey they got became less and less.And if it continues like this, it won't be long before these hateful Han people will reclaim near the last territory of the Madou Society. At that time, the whole tribe will have no way to retreat. They can only fight them to the end or move to the east On higher and farther mountains...
——Although the enemy is really powerful, if he continues to sit back and watch his territory be swallowed up, then on the day of his death, when his soul is led to the Rainbow Bridge, he may not be able to face the questioning of the ancestors... Mona is very painful Thinking this way, he finally made up his mind: "...a foreigner from the other side of the sea! If your civilization is to make me grovel, then let me show you my savage pride!"

At noon, on the reclamation site in the outskirts of Kaohsiung City, more than a dozen Japanese security forces soldiers who were in charge of supervising the work in the morning finally made it to lunch time. After changing shifts with another team, these hungry and panicked Japanese ran away one after another. Back to the canteen at the station, enjoy the lunch they have been looking forward to for a long time.
As usual, lunch is the same rice, pickled radish and potato stewed vermicelli. Although the food of the public security army is not as good as that of the national army, they still meet with meat every two days. Today, each person is assigned a grilled fish. The little man is quite happy—although Japan has been a rice-producing country since ancient times, it is trapped in the Japanese environment with many people and little land. Even after the Warring States period is over, for poor Japanese people, it is still a luxury to have a full stomach things.Many Japanese farmers will never be able to eat the rice they grow for the rest of their lives. The poor eat millet rice with boiled radish twice a day, while the rich eat rice with pickled radish twice a day. Only salted fish and tofu are eaten for tooth festivals during festivals.The Japanese who came to seek refuge with the "Australian chief" were basically worse off than ordinary people.For the vast majority of Japanese mercenaries, it was unimaginable in the past to be able to eat rice every day. fish.
When this group of rough men were devouring food, only their platoon leader, corporal Honda Kojiro, who was born as a samurai, ate more reservedly. Unlike the soldiers who were born as poor peasants, Kojiro Honda came from the Higo country on Kyushu Island. He said he was a samurai, but he was already completely naked when he joined the army, almost like a beggar, only a sword that never leaves his body, which can prove his identity as a samurai.
——In the battle of Sekigahara that determined Japan’s ownership 30 years ago, most of the vassals and daimyos in the Kyushu area were on the wrong team, one by one reducing the title and abolishing the abolition of the feudal domain.Because the feudal lord Konishi Yukyochi was beheaded to death, Motoyama Kojiro's father also became a ronin after the war.
Originally, his family still had a small piece of land. Although he was hungry every day, he would not starve to death.However, as the shogunate's persecution of Catholics became more and more severe, and the edict of banning religion was issued, after Kojiro's father was burned at the stake, the remaining family was forced to flee by sea.
So, the Honda family went through some ups and downs, and finally drifted to Lingao in a daze. In desperation, Kojiro Motoyama joined the "Australian Shorthair" army, and only then did he have a stable job.Because he was a samurai, Kojiro Motoyama quickly became a platoon leader.
At this time, as a special treatment for a non-commissioned officer, on the table in front of Corporal Kojiro Motoyama, besides rice, pickled radish, stewed potato vermicelli and grilled fish, there was also a cup of cool iced black tea.Given the climate here in Kaohsiung, it is indeed refreshing to be able to sit down and drink such a cold drink that blends sweetness and bitterness in the hot afternoon... He leisurely sipped this cup of iced black tea, while thinking about whether he should go to a brothel for entertainment at night .
However, just when Kojiro Motoyama had just finished drinking his iced tea and before he had time to move his chopsticks to eat, his good mood fell to the bottom suddenly following the urgent assembly order brought by the orderly——Kojiro Honda's team Not long after the shift was completed, a mist quietly appeared in the wilderness, and then a large-scale brawl broke out inexplicably among the slaves performing the task of reclamation.Although the overseers quickly suppressed the riot of these slaves with sticks, gun butts and bayonets, after the roll call, they found that dozens of slaves fled in the chaos and disappeared without a trace!
Then, because the disobedient slaves had to be imprisoned, no matter how the platoon leader in charge of the supervisor, Ushidao, burst out his veins and yelled "How can it be repaired, Bageya Road", his platoon could not get away immediately. To chase the fugitive slaves, we can only send someone to ask Motoyama Kojiro for reinforcements.
So, Kojiro Motoyama took one last look at the rice before he could move his mouth, and grabbed his ancestral sword again...

At the same time, Arnold and his fellow fugitive slaves were running desperately along a shallow stream—no one knew what fate would meet them next, but they all knew that If you don't run away, the only thing waiting for you is death.
So far, the escape of Arnold and others has been smooth-they successfully provoked a brawl among the slaves, causing chaos. When the guards were busy suppressing the slaves running around, they immediately prepared The ditch washed out by the torrential rain, escaped the sight of the guards, and ran quickly along the stream all the way.The shallow stream can just cover the smell on their bodies, thus slowing down the tracking speed of the military dogs.
After fleeing for a while, they finally left the port of Kaohsiung and went deep into the primitive jungle.The climate in the tropical jungle is always hot and humid. After walking through the dense vegetation for a while, these escaped Malay slaves felt a little tired and had to stop to rest.
Hastily ate a few mouthfuls of mildewy dry food, Anuoji was about to discuss the next move with his companions, but suddenly heard a gust of wind whizzing past his ears, and then he was stunned to see a javelin brushing past his ears, deeply plunged into the chest of a companion!
Amid the splattering blood and screams, before Anoji could react, he saw another javelin flying out of the dense forest!Four or five Malay fugitive slaves fell down again, while many hideous-looking strangers shouted and escaped from the jungle to kill the slaves... The slaves, who were like frightened birds, suddenly panicked, and some actions He picked up the shovel and hoe in his hand to try to resist, and more people ran away with their heads in their hands...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Mona, the young leader of the Madou Society, flicked the blood on the hunting knife casually, and tied the head of an unlucky slave to a rope around his waist.
He had just hunted a wild boar before, when someone from his clan came to report that a group of aliens were approaching here.This news surprised Mona, and while sending someone back to report the news, he took the team of warriors who were hunting together just now, and went over to see the situation of these alien invaders... However, what he saw next surprised Mo Na. Na breathed a sigh of relief—these invaders were nothing more than slaves to the Chinese who landed on the shore.
Mona knew from a long time ago that the Han Chinese who landed have been driving a large number of slaves to reclaim the wasteland. Not only the tribal warriors who went to scout saw it from afar, but occasionally sporadic slaves escaped. It has become a collection of Taiwanese fans,
So, instead of going to the tribe to call for reinforcements, he directly led the hunting team around him to "out the grass" and attacked this group of fugitive slaves, successfully killing a few of them, while the rest of the alien slaves fled in all directions screaming. open.Seeing that the enemy was so vulnerable, the warriors of the Madou Society also dispersed to chase and hunt the heads of these escaped slaves.Those young people who have never had grass in their life are particularly active, looking forward to beheading at least one head this time, so as to qualify for tattoos and become true warriors.
However, just as Mona tied his head, raised his saber again, and was about to look for the next prey, there were a few "thunderbolt" gunshots in the distance, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Kojiro Honda led his platoon of Japanese security forces, and followed the footsteps of a military dog, hunting down the escaped slaves in the sweltering jungle with difficulty.Along the way, a hungry stomach, stumbling branches and vines, and worn and torn clothes made his mood worse.
These stupid slaves actually knew to escape along the stream in an attempt to slow down the tracking speed of the military dogs, but they left obvious footprints on the mud flat, making it very easy for Kojiro Honda to track... Suddenly, the military dog stopped and made a low warning sound.Kojiro also immediately reached out his hand to signal the team to stop advancing, and carefully observed the surrounding green fields.
Soon, he noticed that a clump of thatch not far away was shaking, and then a panicked face suddenly appeared from inside, which was a runaway Malay slave.This guy froze in astonishment after discovering the Japanese security forces who usually supervised and whipped them, but he strangely didn't turn around and run away, as if he was frightened stupid.So, with a ferocious smile on his face, Kojiro took out a short stick and leaned on it cursingly, preparing to beat up the slave violently to vent the anger accumulated in his heart.
But at the next moment, something unexpected happened——another figure sprang out of the grass in front of him, kicked down the dazed slave first, and then chopped off his head with a knife. Flowing clouds and flowing water are generally smooth.Next, the tattooed Taiwanese student just grabbed the falling head, but when he looked up, he saw a group of heavily armed aliens, and the movements of his hands and feet froze all of a sudden.
This happened almost instantly, Kojiro and his subordinates were all stunned on the spot, and the Taiwanese student who came to headhunt was also stunned by this unexpected encounter.The air in the dense forest seemed to freeze in an instant, until a gunshot broke the weird silence——as the No.1 Japanese soldier subconsciously pulled the trigger, other soldiers also woke up and raised their voices at the Taiwanese student. The gun fired.
Regrettably, in this round of random spontaneous shooting, none of the bullets successfully hit the target—the Taiwanese student just let out a strange cry, and then lifted the head of the Malay slave and passed away unscathed. He turned around and ran, disappearing behind the bushes in an instant.But the panicked Japanese security forces continued to fire indiscriminately towards the grass, and did not stop until Kojiro Honda yelled loudly.
——Seeing the appearance of the Taiwanese Shengban, Kojiro Honda vaguely felt that this might be a little troublesome. The slaves they were chasing seemed to have escaped to the vicinity of a certain Shengban tribe, while there was still an unknown How many traces of life...
At this point, Honda Kojiro no longer cared about the life and death of those slaves. Even if he saw a few escaped slaves running past not far away, he didn't understand at all. He just ordered his men to load the bullets as soon as possible and keep the formation slow. Slowly retreating, ready to fight at any time... Sure enough, Kojiro Honda led his men back a short distance before he heard the horrifying screams of "Woo-wah-" from the freshmen everywhere in the jungle.Looking up, there were shadows in the dense forest with dense foliage, and it was hard to see how many people there were, but the strange screams getting closer made him feel a little ominous.
So, Kojiro ordered to stop the retreat, lined up to take aim, and fired a salvo at a suspicious bush that was shaking constantly—a huge gunshot blocked the roar of the freshmen, and the salvo of more than 20 bullets was temporarily suppressed The arrogance of the freshmen seems to have hit a few targets...
Hearing the sudden disappearance of the Taiwanese students, Kojiro Honda once again ordered everyone to retreat, wanting to get out of danger as soon as possible—since he never expected to start a battle with the students, his platoon only carried the lowest A quarter of the standard ammunition has been consumed so far. If you continue to dawdle, you may have to fight head-to-head with the natives: Although Kojiro Honda is very confident in his family sword technique, he has no choice but to fight against the natives. A group of rookies, only two are said to be warriors.Moreover, since serving in the army, they have never seen blood except for training and beating slaves, but now they are suddenly going to fight the local natives in this unfamiliar tropical jungle.
But after all, they failed to escape smoothly, but were ambushed again at the edge of the jungle—without any warning, a javelin shot out of the bushes, whizzing past Kojiro Honda The denomination, a long bloodstain slid out on his face, poking straight to the ground.same moment.Several other javelins also struck from behind the security forces, causing three soldiers to be pierced by javelins unfortunately.Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Madoushe fighters also rushed out from behind the wild grass, wielding machetes and killed more than 20 Japanese security force mercenaries in the encirclement.
When it was extremely critical, Kojiro Honda first took out his revolver, aimed at the zodiac warriors jumping out of the grass and repeatedly pulled the trigger, and fired all the bullets in the revolver in one go, knocking down the zodiac soldiers.Then, he drew out the Taidao hanging from his waist, rushed forward with a brisk step, and slashed at the nearest student.The whole movement was done in one go, the sharp blade slid across the native's neck, and the blood splashed all over Kojiro's military uniform...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"... Bang! Bang!"
"...Kill to—"
"……what--"
In the dense tropical jungle, a fierce fight is going on. Mona mobilized all the soldiers of the Madou Club to set up an ambush here to besiege the Japanese security forces who went deep into the jungle. Now the aliens have penetrated here, almost reaching the gate of the tribe. For the safety of the tribe, they must kill this group of invaders no matter what, and use their heads to sacrifice to the ancestors.
However, under the siege of Taiwan's Shengfan, these Japanese security forces are also desperate to resist with rifles, bayonets, knives and other weapons.The shimmering Japanese samurai sword and the rough stone ax hunting knife collided with each other, and shouts in different languages came and went... Although the Japanese security forces have advantages in weapons, training and organization, their numbers are too small, and the rugged and overgrown terrain The terrain also makes it difficult for them to play the volley tactics they are good at.
After several hand-to-hand fights, Corporal Honda Kojiro was soaked in sweat and blood, and there were bursts of pain from the wound on his forehead that was still bleeding. Although it is extremely sharp, the problem is that the blade is too long, and when it is swung in the dense forest, it is often blocked by branches and vines.But with his ancestral sword technique, he managed to kill seven or eight zodiacs. Unfortunately, he also suffered several stab wounds, and because of Kojiro Honda's bravery, many zodiacs regarded him as the target of siege , making it harder for him to fight.
"...Oh, I should have eaten that rice and grilled fish before coming out... Who made me a descendant of a samurai?"
Looking at the ferocious faces in front of him, Kojiro, already exhausted, barely swung his sword again, staring at these enemies who wanted to take his life...Suddenly, a javelin pierced out of the bushes beside him very trickily , and plunged into Kojiro's stomach!
In an instant, he only saw blood spurting from his chest, his vision quickly began to gradually blur, and he staggered and lay down.The shouts of killing all around seem to be inaudible, and the body temperature and blood are constantly passing away... Am I going to be called by the Lord?The dying Kojiro muttered to himself, and at the same time, he noticed that the surrounding Taiwanese students were slowly surrounding him, as if they were about to cut off his head.
So, after the last prayer, Kojiro Honda pulled off the fuse of the grenade hanging on his waist with the last bit of strength left.
"...Boom!"
Although the explosion of the grenade failed to kill any of the survivors, the huge sound and flames brought by it pointed out the direction for the backup troops. After a while, the warriors of the Madou Club heard the barking of dogs and The shouts in Japanese were obviously the arrival of foreign reinforcements, and there was nothing he could do about it, so Mona had no choice but to chop off Kojiro Honda's scorched head with a knife, and then whistled, leading the tribe back into the dense forest.

A few feet away from the battlefield, Anoki, a fugitive Malay slave who has been forgotten by everyone, tried his best to curl up and hide behind the corpse of a Japanese security force soldier. Bullets flew over his head from time to time, scaring him He could only lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, not daring to move.
It wasn't until he saw that the Taiwanese students had already fled, and the Japanese security forces' backup troops hadn't arrived for a while, Arnold took advantage of this short gap that no one cared about, and quietly picked up a few bayonets and a rifle, and then pulled them quickly with his hands and feet. With the help of two fugitive slave companions, they disappeared into the vast jungle...
——No one knows what kind of fate these Malayan natives will experience in the unfamiliar jungle of Taiwan.

"...The war with Taiwan's aborigines has finally begun!"
At dusk, in the office of Kaohsiung City Hall, Mayor Wei Bachi leaned on a wicker chair, reading the combat report just submitted by the secretary.
Armed conflicts with the aborigines have long been expected, and he is not surprised by this—with the continuous expansion of Kaohsiung City’s sphere of influence, sooner or later the core territory of the aborigines will be invaded, and even they are currently Part of the cultivated land developed is the mountain pens and hunting grounds voluntarily abandoned by the aborigines.Therefore, it is not surprising that armed conflicts occurred at all, but what surprised him was why the conflicts were delayed until now.
Of course, despite the psychological preparations, the losses of this armed conflict were still quite serious: forty Malay slaves escaped or died on the reclaimed farm, and the platoon of the Japanese security forces responsible for chasing the escaped slaves lost one-third of the battle. Second, the platoon leader died in battle, and the remaining soldiers were wounded.But they also killed more than [-] indigenous fighters, and captured one prisoner. According to the torture, the enemy should be a member of the Madou Society...
Putting down the battle report, Mayor Wei lighted a cigar leisurely. For him, the biggest role of this battle report was to give him a reason to launch a brutal mopping-up campaign to wipe out the Tainan students—as for the outcome of the war, the It was doomed from the beginning.
In the original history, the various indigenous tribes on the island of Taiwan did not perform much better than the American Indians in front of the colonists from all walks of life. The tribes on the mountains can still stick to the terrain, while the tribes on the plains can bully.Even the Madou Society and Xingang Society, which once caused headaches for the Dutch, only dispatched dozens of European soldiers, plus hundreds of indigenous "Imperial Association Army" to launch a raid on these natives, and it was easy Solved: kill hundreds of dozens of people, and burn down a few villages, you can force them to surrender and pay tribute obediently.The reason why the Dutch felt that the natives were a threat when they first arrived in Taiwan was because they had too few troops at that time, only a few dozen people.
With the industrialized strength already possessed by the Lingao Crossing Crowd and the continuous supply of troops from the mainland, these barbarian tribes with a population of no more than a few thousand are easily crushed targets on the battlefield...
Of course, fighting in the wild tropical jungle is, after all, a very dangerous chore. The vegetation there is dense, the climate is changeable, wild animals, snakes and insects are infested, and there are all kinds of miasma. attrition.
Fortunately, there happened to be a group of "first-class experts" who were also very familiar with the tropical jungle environment among the current Lingao crossing staff... Thinking of this, Mayor Wei shook a brass bell by his hand, and a moment later, a figure The army second lieutenant, who is strong and straight, with a dignified appearance, but with tattoos on his face like the aborigines of Taiwan, pushed the door and walked in, then stood upright with a "slap" and raised his hands in salute:
"...The first company of the Mountain Infantry Battalion of the Fubo Army has a long battle, report to the chief! Please give instructions!"
"...Second Lieutenant Zhenhuan, I heard that you performed well in the Qiongzhou bandit suppression campaign, especially in mountain and jungle warfare, and were unanimously appreciated by the Senate and the Army Command. You were transferred to Taiwan precisely for the sake of better Make good use of your talent." Wei Bachi said kindly.
"...Thank you for the praise from the chief and the love of the Senate!" The former Lizhai young master Zhen Huan replied neither humble nor overbearing
"...So, the Senate and the people have decided to entrust you with a new mission!" Wei Bachi changed the subject and finally got to the point.
"...I will go through fire and water! I will do my best to make new contributions to the Senate and the people!" Zhen Huan hurriedly expressed his determination.
"...Very good! I look forward to your performance!" Wei Bachi said appreciatively, and handed over a document and a Venus flag, "...Second Lieutenant Zhenhuan, according to the special authority granted to me by the Senate, I appoint you as the captain of the expedition in the Jianan Plain theater, responsible for commanding all the mountain infantry of the Li ethnic group, the Korean security forces and the Japanese security forces in Kaohsiung City, with a total of about [-] troops, to launch a campaign against the barbarians in the Madou Society. Within a month, we will completely eradicate this malignant tumor that threatens the great cause of Kaohsiung City's reclamation!"
Second Lieutenant Zhen Huan, who did not expect to be the chief general when he first came to Taiwan, blushed with excitement for a moment, excitedly took over the official document and the Venus Star flag, and at the same time replied in an exceptionally loud voice: "...Thank you, Chief, for your kind words. Cultivation, I will never disappoint your trust! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
——Accompanied by Mayor Wei’s orders, loyal and martial Japanese warriors, Korean archers with sharp archery skills, Li hunters who are familiar with the mountains and forests, Taiwanese aborigines who defend their homes, and Malay fugitive slaves struggling to survive, It is about to take the vast jungle of Taiwan as the stage, and use muskets and swords as props to stage a conquest epic with magnificent themes such as blood and fire, civilization and barbarism, survival and destruction...
The Dutch, who also stayed on this island, could only dormant in their Zeelandia Castle depressed, acting as spectators helplessly.

PS: When looking up the allusions of Taiwan's aboriginal people "making grass", I found a very hilarious thing-in 2004, a flood broke out in Taiwan's Gaoshan ethnic group settlements. The ignorant natives are not worthy of pity at all. As superior civilized people, we should learn from the great America and treat these inferior races like the Americans treat the Indians.
Immediately after the news spread, three thousand (it is claimed that there are so many) angry Gaoshan "strong men" went straight to Ketagalan Avenue in Taipei, clamoring to execute "big rape" on this stinky woman, but in the end of course He failed, and was beaten to the ground...
Then someone drew a satirical caricature of Lu Xiulian wearing a star-spangled banner hat and western cowboy clothes, holding a tomahawk and scalping Taiwanese aborigines...
No.12 Moments: The Venus Flag on Taiwan Island
Autumn of the fourth year of Chongzhen, southern Taiwan, Kaohsiung
The autumnal equinox of the fourth year of Chongzhen had just passed, and the early morning air in Kaohsiung Harbor was already faintly chilled.
——Although the Kaohsiung Port is on the boundary line between the tropics and the subtropics, it was still greatly affected by the anomalous solar activity during the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty.If it were in the 21st century, even in Kaohsiung in winter, the average temperature would be above 15 degrees Celsius, and last winter on the island of Taiwan, there were many places with higher altitudes that were covered with white snow!The climate disorder throughout the entire territory of China during the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty can be seen from this.
It was early in the morning, and under the radiance of the morning light, the morning fog covering Kaohsiung Harbor was about to dissipate, and the entire harbor was coated with a blurred color by the soft morning light.The fishing boats docked at the port set sail one after another, the chirping seagulls shuttled and flew over the harbor, the curling smoke continued to rise, and the melodious bugles sounded in the barracks and fortresses... Everything shows that this emerging city is waking up .
On the fort of Kaohsiung Port, a Venus flag with a cross star on a blue background is flying high - Lingao crossing people directly "borrowed" the flag of the later NATO...Suddenly, a puff of white smoke came out of the fort, and the roar shook facing the sea.This is the salute being fired to welcome the arrival of a warship.
"... Is Kaohsiung in front of you? Another place I've never heard of... This world is really big!"
Second Lieutenant Zhen Huan, with tattoos on his face, stood on the bow of the "Kaohsiung" cruiser, looking at the vast island in front of him, as well as this vibrant new city, the eye-catching red brick customs building by the sea, the towering unfinished The bell tower, and the vast sea that seems to be infinitely wide around...
Recalling that just two short years ago, I was still in that small Li village, entangled in the boring power disputes among hundreds of people all day long. The former young master of Li village in Hainan Island, Today's "Second Lieutenant of the Australian Song Fubo Army" Zhen Huan couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart for a while.
The regular army under the jurisdiction of the Lingao Traveler Senate is mainly divided into two major systems: the Funing Army stationed in Fujian and wearing the official skin of the Ming Dynasty, and the Fubo Army stationed in Hainan Island. In addition, there are sword-drawing teams, militia teams, It is supplemented by a number of sporadic independent units, including the National Police.Last year, Taiwan was still the territory of the Funing Army, but this year, as the main force of the Funing Army stationed in Taiwan was successively recruited to go to Ryukyu and Japan, and then went to war with the Spaniards in northern Taiwan, the Kaohsiung Port’s standing The troops became quite empty, and the defense pressure suddenly increased a lot.
Therefore, in view of Kaohsiung Mayor Wei Bachi's repeated requests for help and the Fubo Army's repeated requests for battle, the Senate transferred two Li infantry companies from the Fubo Army's mountain infantry battalion. - Sail hybrid cruiser shipped to Kaohsiung for reinforcements.
——Due to the huge gap in customs and culture, the Li and Miao population in Hainan Island has long been an unusable manpower for the traversers based here, and it is also a potential unstable factor, which makes the implementation of the project suffering from a shortage of labor resources The committee has been brooding.
Fortunately, although these ethnic minority compatriots are not qualified workers and farmers, they are excellent forest hunters and fighters—so, in order to deepen the connection and bond between the two parties, the Fubo Army began to recruit the Li Miao population of Hainan Island on a large scale Joined the army and organized as full-time mountain infantry: The local Li people and Miao people in Hainan Island have been accustomed to walking through the mountains and tracking prey since they were young.After joining the army, because of the sufficient nutrition in the diet, malaria was eradicated with the efforts of doctors, and rifles, grenades, crossbow bolts, and the famous Gurkha dog-leg scimitar were also distributed. The quality of these soldiers has been further improved. The range has increased, and the combat ability has also become stronger.
Since these Li and Miao mountain infantry formed an army on Hainan Island, they have been moving to various counties on the island to carry out tedious and harsh missions of suppressing bandits. With the cooperation of the National Army and the mountain infantry, almost no bandit can stop Fu Bo The dense mountains and forests could not be an obstacle to the Li and Miao soldiers' attacks. On the contrary, these mountain infantry with amazing feet could often use the mountains and forests to ambush and sneak attack the Han bandits.
When the bandits collapsed and fled, what awaited them was the cruelest pursuit - facing the mountain infantry who can walk like flying in the jungle, even the bandits who are most familiar with the terrain are often at a disadvantage because of their speed and endurance , and it is difficult to get rid of the pursuers.With the cooperation of the military dogs, any bandits' delusional attempt to hide and hide could not succeed in front of these Li Miao warriors who lived on hunting and were good at tracking their prey.
Even the bandits who claim to be familiar with the road are often unable to escape such a tough and cold-blooded pursuit, gradually lose the will to resist, and finally suffer from a mental breakdown due to hunger, fatigue and terror, and collapse on the road in disarray, letting the pursuer The soldiers hacked and killed at will.
And even the bandits who still have the strength to fight have no chance of winning against the mountain infantry who has undergone professional killing training-the weapons equipped by the mountain infantry are stronger than ordinary swords chopping ability.This kind of scimitar itself distributes the weight at the end of the blade to increase the speed and power of the slash, and the heavier blade can naturally cause deeper and heavier wounds, and even cut off muscles and bones in one go!
Therefore, those bandits who were chased and bitten by the mountain infantry were usually surrounded by the mountain infantry wearing camouflage uniforms and painted on their faces before they noticed any abnormalities at all, as if they were hunting Eld's deer, and then rained Bolts came from all angles, taking the lives of those who led them.Then before the rest of the bandits could react, mountain infantry with scimitars rushed out from the forest and trees in groups, quickly creating a terrifying field of Shura where blood splattered and severed limbs and heads flew—everyone who was bent The guy who was slashed by the knife must be dead or maimed; even those bandits who were lucky enough not to be killed because they surrendered in time will often be frightened by this hell scene to have a lifelong nightmare.
The outstanding performance of the Li and Miao mountain infantry and the great role they played in the battle against bandits made Lingao crossing people overjoyed.And the incidental political effects are even more noteworthy—for example, Second Lieutenant Zhen Huan, the company commander of the first company of the Mountain Infantry Battalion, is the son of Zhen "Aoya" (similar to the headman) in the "Cut Duel Village" in Changhua County. Originally, he left the stockade to join the army voluntarily, just to meet his former lover Yu Da: the intricate power struggle between the king and the two families in "Cut Against the Village" unfortunately involved this innocent woman, Ruo Da, and made her almost die.After Qi Da escaped the catastrophe by chance, he chose to leave the stockade and work as an errand in the "Australian" territory to make a living. He was unwilling to go back to the stockade and reconcile with Zhen Huan again.
Therefore, Master Zhenhuan, who forgot everything for love, then simply left the stockade and voted for "Australian Shorthair", and performed very well after joining the Fubo Army. Unlike other poor hunters who are suffering haha, Master Zhenhuan Originally, he belonged to the upper class in Lizhai. He was well-nourished, had no worries about food and drink, and was physically strong. His own hunting ability was also exercised quite well. Therefore, he performed particularly well in recruit training, and scored excellent in both shooting and fighting skills. .Later, in the actual battle against bandits, relying on the hunting skills he had developed since childhood, Zhen Huan was always able to spot the bandits first. It has become a punching bag for Zhen Huan to vent his grievances: In the action of chasing down bandits, Zhen Huan especially likes to fight with machetes rather than sneaky crossbow arrow attacks. Heads, the remaining dozen or so bandits saw those accomplices who were slowly falling down with their heads in different places - blood was still spraying out from the cut of the neck, and the blood-soaked glow that looked like a demon god, unexpectedly fell directly Terrified, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
In addition to fighting hard, after discovering that Qi Da can already recognize and write, in order to make himself worthy of her, Zhen Huan also asked the instructor to learn Chinese characters-few Li people are willing to learn culture , This request won the unanimous appreciation of the higher authorities, and it was approved immediately. A study class was also set up among the mountain infantry, allowing Li and Miao soldiers to learn Chinese characters voluntarily, which was regarded by the executive committee as a major progress in the work of ethnic integration.
By this summer, the banditry on Hainan Island had been basically wiped out, and the mountain infantry of the Li and Miao ethnic groups had basically completed their integration with the old troops of the Fubo Army.Zhen Huan was promoted because of his outstanding performance in the battle against bandits. He was exceptionally promoted to the rank of second lieutenant and served as the company commander of the first company, becoming the first Li nationality to be promoted to lieutenant officer.Later, he was ordered to lead a team to reinforce Kaohsiung, Taiwan, to fill the gap in troops due to the transfer of the Funing Army.
For Li warriors who have never been to sea in this life, it is really a long journey from Qiongzhou to Taiwan. (The cargo ship that carried the traversers into this world) was the largest ship with the displacement, but the first time he went to sea was nearly three days of continuous sailing without docking, which made him a little mentally exhausted and his feet weak.
However, after hearing the command to get off the ship, Second Lieutenant Zhen Huan immediately forced himself to cheer up. After randomly checking the equipment of several soldiers and encouraging several subordinates who were seasick, he led the first officer of the Mountain Infantry Battalion The company disembarked from the gangway, and then proceeded along a road paved with cinders to downtown Kaohsiung—as a naval port and coal filling station, there were a large number of cinders and coal ash left over from warships and armed merchant ships in Kaohsiung Port. Can be used for road hardening work.
Like other port cities, not far from the wharf of Kaohsiung, there is a commercial street that has begun to take shape. It looks quite prosperous. Although there is only one street less than 500 meters away, there are many shops on both sides, and there are all kinds of sensuality. There are all kinds of recreational places and handicraft workshops, and there is even a brothel.Sailors of different skin colors, army and navy soldiers, merchants from Zhejiang and Fujian, fishermen, residents of indigenous tribes, prostitutes from Japan Village (the Japanese immigration stronghold in Taiwan at that time)... Shuttle between the streets and alleys.Overall the business atmosphere is quite good
In particular, the Kaohsiung Branch of the Lingao Cooperative, which was run by Transverse, not only has the task of attracting small businessmen from the coast of Fujian to Kaohsiung for business.The Kaohsiung branch also undertakes import and export trade with the Dutch, so it is quite large: a small two-story building with overhanging eaves and large glass windows.There are all kinds of "foreign goods" inside, and the middle-aged waitresses wearing blue cloth "Hanfu style" dresses open their voices and attract customers with various accents.In addition, there are also a few North Korean security forces with big sticks in their hands and big hats-foreign sailors and local natives often cause trouble on the streets because of alcoholism.
When Second Lieutenant Zhen Huan led a group of Li soldiers across the city, it immediately attracted the attention of many people—the expressions of the Dutch were stern and complicated, and the reactions of the natives were curious and fearful, and there were also many small traders and The wandering warblers on the street thought they were coming for business, and rushed to sell their goods and bodies to the soldiers, but they were all rejected.Everyone just marched towards the city hall under the call of the military order.
The Kaohsiung City Hall, which was just completed this year, is a small two-story Western-style building. Although it is a wooden structure, it is built on a stone foundation half as high as a person. The outside is painted with white lime, which looks beautiful in the sun. Both stylish and beautiful.
In front of the city hall is the Kaohsiung Municipal Square paved with gravel, which is also the core of the city in the future. Therefore, along the ground around the square, bamboo poles and white lime lines are used to divide the land everywhere, and various public and public buildings are being built one after another. Commercial Building.Newly opened shops have already stood on some plots, while others are still under construction.Stones, cement, yellow sand and lime are piled everywhere.The professional construction workers and labor teams dispatched from the Hainan Island headquarters shuttled back and forth, and the steam pile drivers and labor chants echoed one after another, looking very busy.
At this time, many rattan tables and chairs had been placed in the center of the square, and beside it was a temporary kitchen shed. A stove was directly built on the open space, and baskets of pots, pans, and various vegetables and fish were assembled. Looking from a distance, I can see the flames are blazing and steaming.The aroma of cooking dishes can be smelled throughout the square.When the Li nationality soldiers arrived, the cooks were already serving up plate after plate of hearty dishes.
The main course of this feast is venison cooked in various ways-this is currently Taiwan's second largest export material after deerskin.Venison is almost all lean meat, not much fat, and the taste is relatively light, which is suitable for the hotter climate here.Then there are quite a variety of sea fish, shrimp and crab, shellfish, tropical fruits and vegetables.In addition to rice wine and kvass, iced lemonade is also available for drinks.
During the voyage journey in the past few days, the officers and soldiers of the mountain infantry battalion have been gnawing on the "navigation dry food" on board, and they have lost their appetite.Seeing tables of delicious food and smelling the tempting aroma of wine and vegetables, everyone's eyes turned green and their mouths were drooling. They just obeyed the military discipline and dared not move around for the time being.When an officer who was in charge of welcoming them announced with a smile on his face, all the food and wine on the square was a welcome banquet for them.All the honest and honest Li warriors cheered and cheered, and they rushed over one by one, sat down and ate.

While Second Lieutenant Zhenhuan was taking his subordinates to eat in the open air in the square, in the city hall separated by a wall, Wei Bachi, the mayor of Kaohsiung, was also on the top floor terrace flying the Venus flag, overlooking the new "Central" This team of reinforcements looked at the appearance of these Li warriors.
"...Only two companies! Although it seems to be able to fight, it seems to be too little..."
Sighing, he smacked his lips a little dissatisfied, and raised his head to cast his gaze into the distance—from the roof of the city hall, one can almost see the whole picture of the "territory" under Kaohsiung City: Although The city hall is very impressive, as are the squares, roads, docks and commercial streets.But when it comes to places that "really look like a city", there is only such a small area in the whole of Kaohsiung.
As for the rest of the current neighborhoods in Kaohsiung City, they are basically a huge shanty town, but the buildings are more orderly.As far as the eye can see, there are rows and rows of undecorated wooden houses on stilts painted with coal tar.Most of them are single-story, but there are also some sporadic two-story wooden houses scattered—Taiwan Island has always had many typhoons, earthquakes, and mudslides. For the early settlers, this kind of wooden house is more suitable for the environment.
From the shanty town to the outer periphery, there is a fortification composed of earth barriers, bamboo fences and trenches. Along the line are wooden watchtowers with thatched tops, which delineate the dividing line between the urban area and the suburbs.On the vast plains in the outskirts, some farmland and plantations have been opened up.And several unfinished, slightly messy roads, ditches and channels.Extending a little further along the road, you can see more than a dozen scattered settlements, which constitute the satellite villages and towns guarding Kaohsiung Port - including the "standard village" established by the Lingao Senate during the two years of migration and immigration, There is also the heritage of Zhang Wei, He Bin and others who traversed in the early years to recruit refugees and reclaim Taiwan. The total population of all kinds is about 2.
Looking outside from these settlements, there is a vast expanse of wilderness and dense jungle, and even the vegetation is basically original.The vast beaches are covered with mangroves, and the undulating plains are full of dense banyan trees, cycads, and bamboos... In the entire field of vision, there are very few cultivated lands that have been reclaimed. All traces of human activities can only be described as It is an embellishment of natural vegetation.
From the point of view of tourism alone, this is definitely a tropical seaside ecological beauty loved by later generations of petty bourgeoisie.But for Mayor Wei Bachi, he prefers to see the chimneys and the golden rice waves. The beautiful scenery in front of him will only make him deeply worried and under great pressure-looking at this wild land surrounded by nature Colonial port scenery, how many years will it take to build this so-called Kaohsiung City into the capital of Taiwan Island, a regional transportation hub connecting Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, a fortified base for the Navy, and a starting point for Taiwan?
Relying on the inheritance left by Zhang Wei before, as well as refugees from various provinces and Nanyang slaves collected and transferred by the Senate in the past two years, and some Fujianese veterans who ran over from Beigang (the Chinese settlement under the Dutch colony of Zeelandia in Taiwan) Immigrants, currently in the territory of Kaohsiung, already have a population of about 3.But after there were more people, the pressure on Wei Bachi's head also increased.He knew that although the Executive Committee did not issue a wasteland reclamation goal, Kaohsiung City faced the vast Chianan Plain, which was the most important agricultural area in Taiwan in the 21st century, and the Senate had high expectations for the agriculture here. High.If I have been unable to produce solid performance, the mayor of Kaohsiung does not have to do it.
——You know, although the group of time-travelers in Lingao sometimes laugh at themselves as "five-hundred waste wood", in fact, this time-traveling team is definitely full of talents: masters can form a company, doctors can form a platoon, There are countless turtles who have been gilded in European and American universities, and there are even yamen who shoot guns and fly planes in the United States.The post of mayor of Kaohsiung under Wei Bachi's ass, but I don't know how many people are eyeing it, hoping that he can replace it!
Therefore, in order to achieve the great cause of Lingao crossing people, Wei Bachi must complete the initial reclamation of the Jianan Plain as soon as possible, establish an intensive state-owned farm, and then achieve self-sufficiency in food and agricultural products. Send out a large amount of surplus food to support other areas.
However, with the equipment and manpower at hand, it is still a bit difficult to reclaim this kind of original ecological land with all the raw land and extremely dense vegetation on a large scale-especially the vegetation here is very developed, even if it is used after setting fire to the wasteland. When oxen plow the land, there is often a situation where the oxen are not strong enough.Having to rely on manual hoeing to plow the land made the labor force required for reclamation extremely large, and various casualties and accidents continued one after another.
In addition, the aborigines on Taiwan Island are also a major threat to Kaohsiung City's land reclamation.
According to Wei Bachi's original idea, after the large-scale reclamation of Taiwan and the construction of Kaohsiung City, he had to play the classic role of a Western colonist who used glass beads to defraud the aborigines of their land and trick them into writing a land sale contract.According to Zhang Wei, the pioneer, when he led a group of people to settle in Taiwan, he did annex the former Zheng Zhilong and Yan Siqi's settlement immigrants and retired old pirates, and then secretly dispatched them to Huangshi. With the assistance of Ning Jun, he fought fiercely with the natives a few times before barely gaining a firm foothold.
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Wei was sent back to Penghu Island and the Lingao crossing people took over the area around Kaohsiung Port, those old immigrants who were pirates had been subdued by Zhang Wei for several years, and even Taiwan natives People also ran away after hearing the wind and disappeared—although the scouts sent by Wei Bachi found some native villages and fields within a radius of a hundred miles, they were deserted for a long time, and the people inside had already fled to the interior. Lu went.
During the construction process of the next two years, although there were occasional natives who came to spy quietly, they never contacted the land reclamators in Kaohsiung Port, let alone came to buy things in the port market... However, the temporary "peaceful coexistence" ", does not mean that the threat of the aborigines is gone, such a strange calm makes Wei Bachi feel uneasy, worrying all day whether something unexpected will happen next.
Last year, due to the presence of an elite Funing Army stationed there, there was no need to worry about the safety of Kaohsiung Port.But this year, the garrison at Kaohsiung Port was dispatched by Huangshi to crusade against Japan and Ryukyu. Even though the current expedition has ended, this force will continue to stay in the Keelung area in northern Taiwan, attacking the local Spanish strongholds, in an attempt to seize the sulfur mines there .There are only some miscellaneous guards, the North Korean stick team, and the Japanese security forces left here in Kaohsiung Port. Wei Bachi has been worried about this all day long... Fortunately, the reinforcements have finally arrived!Let him finally breathe a sigh of relief...

Although the thriving Kaohsiung Port looks so vibrant, in the eyes of others, it is just a hopeless purgatory.
——Anoki is an aborigine on the Malay Peninsula. He was originally a small leader in the tribe. He has a wife and children, and he lives comfortably.It is a pity that unfortunately lost in a battle with a hostile tribe, and has since become a prisoner.Afterwards, although Arnold was not tortured and sacrificed to the gods unfortunately, he became a "living commodity" for the arms trade between the elders of the hostile tribe and the red-haired merchants, and changed from a captive to a slave.
Then, he experienced a nightmare-like sea voyage, and was trafficked by red-haired merchants to Sanya, far away from his hometown, where he became a slave of "Australians".In that dark place, no one cared about Arnold's name, and only gave him a cold code name: A230385.
After working in Sanya for a year, due to the large-scale agricultural development in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Arnold was transferred to Kaohsiung to work as a coolie for land reclamation.
Although it is already a slightly chilly autumn and the Little Ice Age with global low temperature, the weather in Kaohsiung, Taiwan is still very hot around noon.
Under the dizzying bright sun, Anoki struggled to carry a basket of weeds and gravel, and moved slowly—although his dysentery had just been healed and his body was still weak, but under the fierce supervision of the overseers Under the stick and whip, Arnold still had to continue working.
Compared with the Sanya slave camp on Hainan Island, which has survived the most terrifying start-up period despite the harsh conditions and the death rate has been greatly reduced, Kaohsiung is still full of virgin forests. The reclamation process is very difficult and dangerous. The slaves During land reclamation, you have to face sneak attacks from various poisonous insects and snakes anytime and anywhere—you may be bitten to death by the poisonous snake hidden under it when you inadvertently turn over a rotten leaf; and the bite of mosquitoes is even more serious. It is hard to prevent, but the tropical epidemic that spreads through it has always been the number one cause of death among residents of Kaohsiung City in recent years.
Obviously, slaves without human rights are the group of people who are most threatened by diseases in the entire Kaohsiung Port, and who receive the least medical care and rest.Arnold doesn't know how long he can live, but he knows that if he continues to stay here, he will definitely die—he remembers that when he came here in winter, there were still five or six people with the number starting with A23 in the same batch as him, but when they arrived Now, he is the only one left.That's why Arnold had already planned his escape a month ago, preparing to escape with more than [-] other slaves.They hid part of the food assigned by the overseers half a month ago, preparing it as dry food on the way to escape, and now they are just waiting for a suitable opportunity...
Today, the task assigned by Arnold is still land reclamation. "Australians" usually set fire to a piece of land first, and then the slaves manually clean up the trees, debris and stones that have not been completely burned, and level the land—because the rainforest Wet climate burns are usually not adequate and go out quickly.The number of steam engines that can be used to level the land at Kaohsiung Port is limited, and most of the land preparation work can only be done by slaves.
And this is the escape opportunity in Arnold's eyes - it is impossible to escape from the camp. The camp where the slaves are held is surrounded by barbed wire, and there are tall watchtowers. Patrols, although slaves escaped at night often happened, most of the sporadic and unorganized fugitives could not escape the camp at all, or they were caught by the bullets of the security forces before they ran far from the camp, and some of them were not beaten. The dead guy will soon be thrown to the ground by the vicious hounds.But when the slaves go out to open up wasteland, there will be a lot fewer soldiers monitoring them, and at this time the slaves have labor tools in their hands, but there is no barbed wire around them. This is obviously the best time to escape.
Although even at the land reclamation site, there must be security forces and military dogs watching, but individual slaves still cannot escape.But if a lot of people join together and escape separately, some of them will still be able to escape after all. As for who can escape successfully, it depends on luck.
Through observation between work, Arnold successfully found a natural ditch washed out by the rain, which could be used as a hidden path for him to escape.And the end of the ditch is the vast forest that symbolizes freedom, and now there is only one chance - although the slave owner and Zhou Papi have many things in common, a slave who can run away is different from a long-term worker who can't run away, so the supervisor never They will be released from the camp when the light is dim in the morning, but they will not drive the slaves out to work until the sun rises and the sky is bright, and they will finish their work before dusk.But the climate here in Taiwan is quite special, and sometimes even in the afternoon, the mountain fog will suddenly rise... and this is the opportunity that Arnold and the others are waiting for...
sex
The mountain fog in the afternoon gradually dissipated, revealing pools of puddles scattered in the mountains and forests. Suddenly, the sun penetrated through the gaps in the leaves and shone on the shallow puddles, reflecting a dazzling flash.Birds and insects rang out from time to time in the jungle, and then suddenly there was a "swiping" sound of rubbing grass leaves - I saw a fat and strong black boar walking out of the jungle leisurely, sniffing here and there Sniffing, seems to be looking for food.
Suddenly, the wild boar seemed to sense something, and raised its head uneasily—although it didn’t see anything unusual, but the survival instinct unique to a certain wild animal still made it feel as if it was being stared at by some terrible predator. up.
But before it could take any action, a sharp javelin shot out from behind the bushes, directly pierced the wild boar's eyes, and penetrated deeply into its skull!After a cry of grief, the dying wild boar continued to scurry for more than ten steps, but finally fell down powerlessly.
After a while, several hunters wrapped in animal skins jumped out from the bushes. The man headed by him was Mona, the young leader of the Madou Club. Although he had just hit a big prey, there was no trace of joy on his face.
What many people don't know is that, perhaps because of their long-term contact with the civilization of the Central Plains since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Li people in Hainan Island are relatively backward in social form, but they are by no means cannibals.However, the aborigines of Taiwan Island who came into contact with the Central Plains civilization later are the real cruel headhunters.
What's more terrible is that the homicide headhunters of Taiwanese natives are often not for the purpose of robbing property and vendetta - of course, it would be better if they could kill enemies or rob property, most of the time it is just to prove that they can kill, or just It’s just adding decorations to the room, just like many hunting enthusiasts in Canada and the United States in later generations like to make specimens of bear heads or elk heads that they hunted and hang them on the wall.
Whenever the boys of Taiwan’s aborigines come of age, these teenagers will hold a “chuucao”—that is, headhunting. As their coming of age ceremony, they will sneak attack on other tribes, and then hang the hunted heads at the gate of their own villages. shelf to celebrate his own adulthood.
——Based on the concept of Taiwanese aborigines, it seems that only boys who have killed someone can be considered a man and are eligible for facial tattoos...
Year after year, the aborigines in Taiwan have lived such a barbaric and bloody life: chasing wild animals in the forest, drinking from mountain springs, beheading enemies, dancing around campfires at night, and eating meat.For them, life is a sacrifice, and death in battle is the highest pride.
The Madou Society is the largest indigenous tribe in the southern plains of Taiwan, with a population of over a thousand households. As the son of the leader of the Madou Society, Mona wanted to be a village hero since he was a child.And in the 14-year-old coming-of-age ceremony "coming out of the grass", he really performed well. Through a clever ambush, he successfully killed two hunting natives of the Xingang Society and escaped the pursuit of the Xingang Society. The severed heads of these two unlucky ghosts were returned.
From that day on, Mona gloriously passed the test of the ancestral spirit, qualified for the tattoo, and became a true warrior.
In the days that followed, in order to prove his greatness and extraordinaryness and make the surrounding tribes tremble when they heard his name, Mona was very keen on "making grass"... To this day, in the house of this "hero" More than thirty collectibles have been displayed, including old and young, men and women, most of them are the heads of Taiwanese natives, some heads belong to unlucky Han traders, and even a few heads of red-haired men.
Such frequent "outing of grass" naturally brought many enemies to the Madou Club, but neither Mona nor his father, the previous leader of the Madou Club, was too worried about it.Compared with other tribes on this island, Madou Club itself has a large population and can mobilize more than 500 fighters. It has a crushing force advantage in the battle with other tribes.Another big tribe nearby, Jialiuwan Society, is also a close ally of Madou Society.The "thunderbolts" of the red-haired people are very powerful, but they are few in number, and Madou Club is not afraid of them. As long as they are half a day away from Dayuangang, they are no longer within the sphere of influence of the red-haired people.So Mona and his father have always believed that there is no force in this world that can threaten their tribe and hunting grounds.
However, since six years ago, Madoushe finally encountered a real enemy: a group of Han aliens from the other side of the sea landed in Madoushe's hunting ground, and this group of people did not come and go in a hurry like those sea merchants in the past , but open up wasteland to log and build houses, it seems that they want to live here forever.
If they had just occupied the desolate beach called "Dagou", Madoushe might not have cared much about it, but these Han people kept making progress, and kept going deeper into the inland, and soon gradually approached Madoushe. several major settlements.Naturally, Mona's father could not tolerate the encroachment of the tribe's hunting grounds, so he took the warriors of the tribe to "grass", killed several of them, and then cut off their heads to pay homage to the ancestors as punishment for offending Ma. The sins of the sacred hunting grounds of Doushe.But the other party also retaliated and burned down a small village in Madou Club.
This kind of sporadic fighting lasted for a long time, and neither side could do anything to the other.Although the Madou Club killed more Han people by relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the Han people always had backup coming from across the sea... Finally, a decisive battle broke out. Under the protection of the ancestor spirits, two hundred reinforcements from the Wanshe entered the village of the Han people.But what greeted them was filled with gunpowder smoke and bursts of intensive gunshots!More dense than the sound of thunderstorms Mona heard when it was raining!Unexpectedly, the Han people have so many "thunderbolts"!There are more red-haired people than Dayuangang!
For a while, I only heard the sound of "thunderbolts" in the smoke, one after another, and red flames were everywhere.By the time the gunpowder cleared, all the tribal warriors rushing in front of the team had been knocked down.Mona's father was also bleeding from his chest, and was the first to fall amidst the dense gunfire. Mona was horrified when he saw this, and quickly helped his father who was still bleeding with a soldier, turned around and ran towards the village desperately .
And after the insidious Han people released the "thunderbolts", many spearmen in iron armor rushed out from all directions, blocked many warriors who had no time to escape, and smashed their desperate resistance, allowing them to fight again. Nor can they return to their homes.
On that day, Mona never felt that the journey back to the main village of Madoushe was so long. His father's blood almost stained his whole body red, but even so, his father, who had only his last breath, was still weak in his ears. He kept muttering, we must protect the tribe well, and we must not let the enemy enter... Mona wanted to cry, but the warrior never had such an expression of crying, and could only vent his pain through constant howling.
Mona's father did not return to the village alive in the end, and only half of the Madou Club warriors who came back alive did not bring any enemy's head. Grass.
Amidst the gloom and gloom, Mona inherited the position of the leader of the Madou Club.In the following days, the Han people sent more large ships to Dagou, and more and more Han people landed, to the extent that the number of warriors who went to investigate could not be counted clearly.Faced with such an irresistible enemy, for the safety of the Madou Club, Mona had to retreat inland with his tribe, abandoning the hunting grounds near the landing site of the Han people, as well as many hillside rice fields that had been reclaimed... Although the members of the club Since then, his life has become a little more difficult, but he has finally avoided the disaster of destruction for the time being.
However, with the passage of time, more and more Han people landed on the seashore, and they transported the population at an incredible speed-most of them were Han Chinese, but there were also many strange alien races that Mona did not know. Building houses, reclaiming vast tracts of land...
Is this the "power of civilization" that the red-haired man who came to preach last time boasted to himself?Mona stroked the dry head of the red-haired missionary, watching all these changes with fear and helplessness. After inheriting his father's position as the leader, he had to consider the survival of the whole family, so , he does not want to continue to conflict with the powerful Han people, and he no longer often goes to "out of the grass" to prove himself as before.
But the problem is that those greedy Han Chinese not only occupied the original hunting grounds of Madoushe, but also continued to burn wasteland and reclaim land. Their forces are getting closer and closer to the new settlement of Madoushe. Recently, there have been some sporadic conflicts. There have been many confrontations, but in the end it ended with the retreat of the Madou Club. Many young people in the tribe were outraged and clamored all day to go down the mountain and go to the town of these foreigners to produce grass.
For such a situation, Mona felt infinitely entangled and confused: for the survival of the tribe, the elders told him to endure it.But the Han Chinese are occupying more and more land, turning more forest land into farmland.The hunting grounds of the tribal warriors shrank accordingly, and the prey they got became less and less.And if it continues like this, it won't be long before these hateful Han people will reclaim near the last territory of the Madou Society. At that time, the whole tribe will have no way to retreat. They can only fight them to the end or move to the east On higher and farther mountains...
——Although the enemy is really powerful, if he continues to sit back and watch his territory be swallowed up, then on the day of his death, when his soul is led to the Rainbow Bridge, he may not be able to face the questioning of the ancestors... Mona is very painful Thinking this way, he finally made up his mind: "...a foreigner from the other side of the sea! If your civilization is to make me grovel, then let me show you my savage pride!"

At noon, on the reclamation site in the outskirts of Kaohsiung City, more than a dozen Japanese security forces soldiers who were in charge of supervising the work in the morning finally made it to lunch time. After changing shifts with another team, these hungry and panicked Japanese ran away one after another. Back to the canteen at the station, enjoy the lunch they have been looking forward to for a long time.
As usual, lunch is the same rice, pickled radish and potato stewed vermicelli. Although the food of the public security army is not as good as that of the national army, they still meet with meat every two days. Today, each person is assigned a grilled fish. The little man is quite happy—although Japan has been a rice-producing country since ancient times, it is trapped in the Japanese environment with many people and little land. Even after the Warring States period is over, for poor Japanese people, it is still a luxury to have a full stomach things.Many Japanese farmers will never be able to eat the rice they grow for the rest of their lives. The poor eat millet rice with boiled radish twice a day, while the rich eat rice with pickled radish twice a day. Only salted fish and tofu are eaten for tooth festivals during festivals.The Japanese who came to seek refuge with the "Australian chief" were basically worse off than ordinary people.For the vast majority of Japanese mercenaries, it was unimaginable in the past to be able to eat rice every day. fish.
When this group of rough men were devouring food, only their platoon leader, corporal Honda Kojiro, who was born as a samurai, ate more reservedly. Unlike the soldiers who were born as poor peasants, Kojiro Honda came from the Higo country on Kyushu Island. He said he was a samurai, but he was already completely naked when he joined the army, almost like a beggar, only a sword that never leaves his body, which can prove his identity as a samurai.
——In the battle of Sekigahara that determined Japan’s ownership 30 years ago, most of the vassals and daimyos in the Kyushu area were on the wrong team, one by one reducing the title and abolishing the abolition of the feudal domain.Because the feudal lord Konishi Yukyochi was beheaded to death, Motoyama Kojiro's father also became a ronin after the war.
Originally, his family still had a small piece of land. Although he was hungry every day, he would not starve to death.However, as the shogunate's persecution of Catholics became more and more severe, and the edict of banning religion was issued, after Kojiro's father was burned at the stake, the remaining family was forced to flee by sea.
So, the Honda family went through some ups and downs, and finally drifted to Lingao in a daze. In desperation, Kojiro Motoyama joined the "Australian Shorthair" army, and only then did he have a stable job.Because he was a samurai, Kojiro Motoyama quickly became a platoon leader.
At this time, as a special treatment for a non-commissioned officer, on the table in front of Corporal Kojiro Motoyama, besides rice, pickled radish, stewed potato vermicelli and grilled fish, there was also a cup of cool iced black tea.Given the climate here in Kaohsiung, it is indeed refreshing to be able to sit down and drink such a cold drink that blends sweetness and bitterness in the hot afternoon... He leisurely sipped this cup of iced black tea, while thinking about whether he should go to a brothel for entertainment at night .
However, just when Kojiro Motoyama had just finished drinking his iced tea and before he had time to move his chopsticks to eat, his good mood fell to the bottom suddenly following the urgent assembly order brought by the orderly——Kojiro Honda's team Not long after the shift was completed, a mist quietly appeared in the wilderness, and then a large-scale brawl broke out inexplicably among the slaves performing the task of reclamation.Although the overseers quickly suppressed the riot of these slaves with sticks, gun butts and bayonets, after the roll call, they found that dozens of slaves fled in the chaos and disappeared without a trace!
Then, because the disobedient slaves had to be imprisoned, no matter how the platoon leader in charge of the supervisor, Ushidao, burst out his veins and yelled "How can it be repaired, Bageya Road", his platoon could not get away immediately. To chase the fugitive slaves, we can only send someone to ask Motoyama Kojiro for reinforcements.
So, Kojiro Motoyama took one last look at the rice before he could move his mouth, and grabbed his ancestral sword again...

At the same time, Arnold and his fellow fugitive slaves were running desperately along a shallow stream—no one knew what fate would meet them next, but they all knew that If you don't run away, the only thing waiting for you is death.
So far, the escape of Arnold and others has been smooth-they successfully provoked a brawl among the slaves, causing chaos. When the guards were busy suppressing the slaves running around, they immediately prepared The ditch washed out by the torrential rain, escaped the sight of the guards, and ran quickly along the stream all the way.The shallow stream can just cover the smell on their bodies, thus slowing down the tracking speed of the military dogs.
After fleeing for a while, they finally left the port of Kaohsiung and went deep into the primitive jungle.The climate in the tropical jungle is always hot and humid. After walking through the dense vegetation for a while, these escaped Malay slaves felt a little tired and had to stop to rest.
Hastily ate a few mouthfuls of mildewy dry food, Anuoji was about to discuss the next move with his companions, but suddenly heard a gust of wind whizzing past his ears, and then he was stunned to see a javelin brushing past his ears, deeply plunged into the chest of a companion!
Amid the splattering blood and screams, before Anoji could react, he saw another javelin flying out of the dense forest!Four or five Malay fugitive slaves fell down again, while many hideous-looking strangers shouted and escaped from the jungle to kill the slaves... The slaves, who were like frightened birds, suddenly panicked, and some actions He picked up the shovel and hoe in his hand to try to resist, and more people ran away with their heads in their hands...

Mona, the young leader of the Madou Society, flicked the blood on the hunting knife casually, and tied the head of an unlucky slave to a rope around his waist.
He had just hunted a wild boar before, when someone from his clan came to report that a group of aliens were approaching here.This news surprised Mona, and while sending someone back to report the news, he took the team of warriors who were hunting together just now, and went over to see the situation of these alien invaders... However, what he saw next surprised Mo Na. Na breathed a sigh of relief—these invaders were nothing more than slaves to the Chinese who landed on the shore.
Mona knew from a long time ago that the Han Chinese who landed have been driving a large number of slaves to reclaim the wasteland. Not only the tribal warriors who went to scout saw it from afar, but occasionally sporadic slaves escaped. It has become a collection of Taiwanese fans,
So, instead of going to the tribe to call for reinforcements, he directly led the hunting team around him to "out the grass" and attacked this group of fugitive slaves, successfully killing a few of them, while the rest of the alien slaves fled in all directions screaming. open.Seeing that the enemy was so vulnerable, the warriors of the Madou Society also dispersed to chase and hunt the heads of these escaped slaves.Those young people who have never had grass in their life are particularly active, looking forward to beheading at least one head this time, so as to qualify for tattoos and become true warriors.
However, just as Mona tied his head, raised his saber again, and was about to look for the next prey, there were a few "thunderbolt" gunshots in the distance, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly!

Kojiro Honda led his platoon of Japanese security forces, and followed the footsteps of a military dog, hunting down the escaped slaves in the sweltering jungle with difficulty.Along the way, a hungry stomach, stumbling branches and vines, and worn and torn clothes made his mood worse.
These stupid slaves actually knew to escape along the stream in an attempt to slow down the tracking speed of the military dogs, but they left obvious footprints on the mud flat, making it very easy for Kojiro Honda to track... Suddenly, the military dog stopped and made a low warning sound.Kojiro also immediately reached out his hand to signal the team to stop advancing, and carefully observed the surrounding green fields.
Soon, he noticed that a clump of thatch not far away was shaking, and then a panicked face suddenly appeared from inside, which was a runaway Malay slave.This guy froze in astonishment after discovering the Japanese security forces who usually supervised and whipped them, but he strangely didn't turn around and run away, as if he was frightened stupid.So, with a ferocious smile on his face, Kojiro took out a short stick and leaned on it cursingly, preparing to beat up the slave violently to vent the anger accumulated in his heart.
But at the next moment, something unexpected happened——another figure sprang out of the grass in front of him, kicked down the dazed slave first, and then chopped off his head with a knife. Flowing clouds and flowing water are generally smooth.Next, the tattooed Taiwanese student just grabbed the falling head, but when he looked up, he saw a group of heavily armed aliens, and the movements of his hands and feet froze all of a sudden.
This happened almost instantly, Kojiro and his subordinates were all stunned on the spot, and the Taiwanese student who came to headhunt was also stunned by this unexpected encounter.The air in the dense forest seemed to freeze in an instant, until a gunshot broke the weird silence——as the No.1 Japanese soldier subconsciously pulled the trigger, other soldiers also woke up and raised their voices at the Taiwanese student. The gun fired.
Regrettably, in this round of random spontaneous shooting, none of the bullets successfully hit the target—the Taiwanese student just let out a strange cry, and then lifted the head of the Malay slave and passed away unscathed. He turned around and ran, disappearing behind the bushes in an instant.But the panicked Japanese security forces continued to fire indiscriminately towards the grass, and did not stop until Kojiro Honda yelled loudly.
——Seeing the appearance of the Taiwanese Shengban, Kojiro Honda vaguely felt that this might be a little troublesome. The slaves they were chasing seemed to have escaped to the vicinity of a certain Shengban tribe, while there was still an unknown How many traces of life...
At this point, Honda Kojiro no longer cared about the life and death of those slaves. Even if he saw a few escaped slaves running past not far away, he didn't understand at all. He just ordered his men to load the bullets as soon as possible and keep the formation slow. Slowly retreating, ready to fight at any time... Sure enough, Kojiro Honda led his men back a short distance before he heard the horrifying screams of "Woo-wah-" from the freshmen everywhere in the jungle.Looking up, there were shadows in the dense forest with dense foliage, and it was hard to see how many people there were, but the strange screams getting closer made him feel a little ominous.
So, Kojiro ordered to stop the retreat, lined up to take aim, and fired a salvo at a suspicious bush that was shaking constantly—a huge gunshot blocked the roar of the freshmen, and the salvo of more than 20 bullets was temporarily suppressed The arrogance of the freshmen seems to have hit a few targets...
Hearing the sudden disappearance of the Taiwanese students, Kojiro Honda once again ordered everyone to retreat, wanting to get out of danger as soon as possible—since he never expected to start a battle with the students, his platoon only carried the lowest A quarter of the standard ammunition has been consumed so far. If you continue to dawdle, you may have to fight head-to-head with the natives: Although Kojiro Honda is very confident in his family sword technique, he has no choice but to fight against the natives. A group of rookies, only two are said to be warriors.Moreover, since serving in the army, they have never seen blood except for training and beating slaves, but now they are suddenly going to fight the local natives in this unfamiliar tropical jungle.
But after all, they failed to escape smoothly, but were ambushed again at the edge of the jungle—without any warning, a javelin shot out of the bushes, whizzing past Kojiro Honda The denomination, a long bloodstain slid out on his face, poking straight to the ground.same moment.Several other javelins also struck from behind the security forces, causing three soldiers to be pierced by javelins unfortunately.Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Madoushe fighters also rushed out from behind the wild grass, wielding machetes and killed more than 20 Japanese security force mercenaries in the encirclement.
When it was extremely critical, Kojiro Honda first took out his revolver, aimed at the zodiac warriors jumping out of the grass and repeatedly pulled the trigger, and fired all the bullets in the revolver in one go, knocking down the zodiac soldiers.Then, he drew out the Taidao hanging from his waist, rushed forward with a brisk step, and slashed at the nearest student.The whole movement was done in one go, the sharp blade slid across the native's neck, and the blood splashed all over Kojiro's military uniform...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"... Bang! Bang!"
"...Kill to—"
"……what--"
In the dense tropical jungle, a fierce fight is going on. Mona mobilized all the soldiers of the Madou Club to set up an ambush here to besiege the Japanese security forces who went deep into the jungle. Now the aliens have penetrated here, almost reaching the gate of the tribe. For the safety of the tribe, they must kill this group of invaders no matter what, and use their heads to sacrifice to the ancestors.
However, under the siege of Taiwan's Shengfan, these Japanese security forces are also desperate to resist with rifles, bayonets, knives and other weapons.The shimmering Japanese samurai sword and the rough stone ax hunting knife collided with each other, and shouts in different languages came and went... Although the Japanese security forces have advantages in weapons, training and organization, their numbers are too small, and the rugged and overgrown terrain The terrain also makes it difficult for them to play the volley tactics they are good at.
After several hand-to-hand fights, Corporal Honda Kojiro was soaked in sweat and blood, and there were bursts of pain from the wound on his forehead that was still bleeding. Although it is extremely sharp, the problem is that the blade is too long, and when it is swung in the dense forest, it is often blocked by branches and vines.But with his ancestral sword technique, he managed to kill seven or eight zodiacs. Unfortunately, he also suffered several stab wounds, and because of Kojiro Honda's bravery, many zodiacs regarded him as the target of siege , making it harder for him to fight.
"...Oh, I should have eaten that rice and grilled fish before coming out... Who made me a descendant of a samurai?"
Looking at the ferocious faces in front of him, Kojiro, already exhausted, barely swung his sword again, staring at these enemies who wanted to take his life...Suddenly, a javelin pierced out of the bushes beside him very trickily , and plunged into Kojiro's stomach!
In an instant, he only saw blood spurting from his chest, his vision quickly began to gradually blur, and he staggered and lay down.The shouts of killing all around seem to be inaudible, and the body temperature and blood are constantly passing away... Am I going to be called by the Lord?The dying Kojiro muttered to himself, and at the same time, he noticed that the surrounding Taiwanese students were slowly surrounding him, as if they were about to cut off his head.
So, after the last prayer, Kojiro Honda pulled off the fuse of the grenade hanging on his waist with the last bit of strength left.
"...Boom!"
Although the explosion of the grenade failed to kill any of the survivors, the huge sound and flames brought by it pointed out the direction for the backup troops. After a while, the warriors of the Madou Club heard the barking of dogs and The shouts in Japanese were obviously the arrival of foreign reinforcements, and there was nothing he could do about it, so Mona had no choice but to chop off Kojiro Honda's scorched head with a knife, and then whistled, leading the tribe back into the dense forest.

A few feet away from the battlefield, Anoki, a fugitive Malay slave who has been forgotten by everyone, tried his best to curl up and hide behind the corpse of a Japanese security force soldier. Bullets flew over his head from time to time, scaring him He could only lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, not daring to move.
It wasn't until he saw that the Taiwanese students had already fled, and the Japanese security forces' backup troops hadn't arrived for a while, Arnold took advantage of this short gap that no one cared about, and quietly picked up a few bayonets and a rifle, and then pulled them quickly with his hands and feet. With the help of two fugitive slave companions, they disappeared into the vast jungle...
——No one knows what kind of fate these Malayan natives will experience in the unfamiliar jungle of Taiwan.

"...The war with Taiwan's aborigines has finally begun!"
At dusk, in the office of Kaohsiung City Hall, Mayor Wei Bachi leaned on a wicker chair, reading the combat report just submitted by the secretary.
Armed conflicts with the aborigines have long been expected, and he is not surprised by this—with the continuous expansion of Kaohsiung City’s sphere of influence, sooner or later the core territory of the aborigines will be invaded, and even they are currently Part of the cultivated land developed is the mountain pens and hunting grounds voluntarily abandoned by the aborigines.Therefore, it is not surprising that armed conflicts occurred at all, but what surprised him was why the conflicts were delayed until now.
Of course, despite the psychological preparations, the losses of this armed conflict were still quite serious: forty Malay slaves escaped or died on the reclaimed farm, and the platoon of the Japanese security forces responsible for chasing the escaped slaves lost one-third of the battle. Second, the platoon leader died in battle, and the remaining soldiers were wounded.But they also killed more than [-] indigenous fighters, and captured one prisoner. According to the torture, the enemy should be a member of the Madou Society...
Putting down the battle report, Mayor Wei lighted a cigar leisurely. For him, the biggest role of this battle report was to give him a reason to launch a brutal mopping-up campaign to wipe out the Tainan students—as for the outcome of the war, the It was doomed from the beginning.
In the original history, the various indigenous tribes on the island of Taiwan did not perform much better than the American Indians in front of the colonists from all walks of life. The tribes on the mountains can still stick to the terrain, while the tribes on the plains can bully.Even the Madou Society and Xingang Society, which once caused headaches for the Dutch, only dispatched dozens of European soldiers, plus hundreds of indigenous "Imperial Association Army" to launch a raid on these natives, and it was easy Solved: kill hundreds of dozens of people, and burn down a few villages, you can force them to surrender and pay tribute obediently.The reason why the Dutch felt that the natives were a threat when they first arrived in Taiwan was because they had too few troops at that time, only a few dozen people.
With the industrialized strength already possessed by the Lingao Crossing Crowd and the continuous supply of troops from the mainland, these barbarian tribes with a population of no more than a few thousand are easily crushed targets on the battlefield...
Of course, fighting in the wild tropical jungle is, after all, a very dangerous chore. The vegetation there is dense, the climate is changeable, wild animals, snakes and insects are infested, and there are all kinds of miasma. attrition.
Fortunately, there happened to be a group of "first-class experts" who were also very familiar with the tropical jungle environment among the current Lingao crossing staff... Thinking of this, Mayor Wei shook a brass bell by his hand, and a moment later, a figure The army second lieutenant, who is strong and straight, with a dignified appearance, but with tattoos on his face like the aborigines of Taiwan, pushed the door and walked in, then stood upright with a "slap" and raised his hands in salute:
"...The first company of the Mountain Infantry Battalion of the Fubo Army has a long battle, report to the chief! Please give instructions!"
"...Second Lieutenant Zhenhuan, I heard that you performed well in the Qiongzhou bandit suppression campaign, especially in mountain and jungle warfare, and were unanimously appreciated by the Senate and the Army Command. You were transferred to Taiwan precisely for the sake of better Make good use of your talent." Wei Bachi said kindly.
"...Thank you for the praise from the chief and the love of the Senate!" The former Lizhai young master Zhen Huan replied neither humble nor overbearing
"...So, the Senate and the people have decided to entrust you with a new mission!" Wei Bachi changed the subject and finally got to the point.
"...I will go through fire and water! I will do my best to make new contributions to the Senate and the people!" Zhen Huan hurriedly expressed his determination.
"...Very good! I look forward to your performance!" Wei Bachi said appreciatively, and handed over a document and a Venus flag, "...Second Lieutenant Zhenhuan, according to the special authority granted to me by the Senate, I appoint you as the captain of the expedition in the Jianan Plain theater, responsible for commanding all the mountain infantry of the Li ethnic group, the Korean security forces and the Japanese security forces in Kaohsiung City, with a total of about [-] troops, to launch a campaign against the barbarians in the Madou Society. Within a month, we will completely eradicate this malignant tumor that threatens the great cause of Kaohsiung City's reclamation!"
Second Lieutenant Zhen Huan, who did not expect to be the chief general when he first came to Taiwan, blushed with excitement for a moment, excitedly took over the official document and the Venus Star flag, and at the same time replied in an exceptionally loud voice: "...Thank you, Chief, for your kind words. Cultivation, I will never disappoint your trust! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
——Accompanied by Mayor Wei’s orders, loyal and martial Japanese warriors, Korean archers with sharp archery skills, Li hunters who are familiar with the mountains and forests, Taiwanese aborigines who defend their homes, and Malay fugitive slaves struggling to survive, It is about to take the vast jungle of Taiwan as the stage, and use muskets and swords as props to stage a conquest epic with magnificent themes such as blood and fire, civilization and barbarism, survival and destruction...
The Dutch, who also stayed on this island, could only dormant in their Zeelandia Castle depressed, acting as spectators helplessly.

PS: When looking up the allusions of Taiwan's aboriginal people "making grass", I found a very hilarious thing-in 2004, a flood broke out in Taiwan's Gaoshan ethnic group settlements. The ignorant natives are not worthy of pity at all. As superior civilized people, we should learn from the great America and treat these inferior races like the Americans treat the Indians.
Immediately after the news spread, three thousand (it is claimed that there are so many) angry Gaoshan "strong men" went straight to Ketagalan Avenue in Taipei, clamoring to execute "big rape" on this stinky woman, but in the end of course He failed, and was beaten to the ground...
Then someone drew a satirical caricature of Lu Xiulian wearing a star-spangled banner hat and western cowboy clothes, holding a tomahawk and scalping Taiwanese aborigines...
