Chapter 143 Mr. Wu

Of course, Zhou Charter did not dare to rush to pull the army into the mountains. First, although the Alishan area is vast, it is very barren and can't feed so many troops. Second, Zhou Charter's attitude towards this area is unclear, especially the local indigenous people is not clear. In case of bad things and tens of thousands of Zhang Jun are trapped in it and can't get out, it will be even more troublesome! Third, the Alishan area can be used as a strategic circuitous passage, but it cannot be used as the main battlefield of the decisive battle. The ravines are rills, the mountains are high and dense, and the Japanese will not be stupid enough to put large troops into the mountains to fight.

Therefore, Zhou Charter simply pulled more than 4,000 of the independent brigade stationed in Chiayi into Alishan. The independent brigade will hide in the mountains and wait for the opportunity to move. Once the Japanese army attacks Tainan, the independent brigade hidden in the mountains will become a strange soldier behind the enemy. It can attack the back road of the Japanese army or directly attack Taipei and end Japan. The old nest of the army, at that time, whether it is the south aid or the north attack, the initiative is all in the hands of Zhou Charter.

Originally, Zhou Charter was also uncertain about this turn. He just wanted to take a step by step, but in the special forces, he found a Meng Neng, and Zhou Charter immediately became confident.

From Dalin to Alishan, Zhou Charter and Mengnon have been staying together all the way, carefully understanding the customs and dangerous terrain of Alishan. I have a general understanding of the situation of the Zou people.

Originally, there were dozens of tribal groups of the Zou people in Alishan, scattered in hundreds of square kilometers of mountains. These ethnic groups lived on the mountains and maintained a loose alliance relationship. Usually, the tribes are not unified with each other, and each ethnic group has its own chief. The tribal alliance elected a grand chief. Generally speaking, the candidates for the great chief always come from the largest tribe. The population of the big tribe is prosperous, and the territory is also large. The chiefs of the big tribes serve as the chiefs of the alliance and have appeal, while other small tribes have to pay tribute to the big chiefs. In case of major matters, such as conflicts between tribes, they are judged by the chief, and the big sacrificial activities are also presided over by the chief.

In recent years, the rich people centered on Yushan have gradually flourished. They occupy more than two-thirds of the geographical area of Alishan and account for more than half of the population of the Zou people. The Yushan area occupied by the rich in Kana is also the richest area in Alishan. Therefore, for more than ten years, the great chief of the Zou people in Alishan area has been the rich in Kana.

Menon's ethnic group is Dabang, the son of Abani, the leader of Dabang.

Dabang is a small tribe, with less than one-third of the rich people in Kana. However, compared with other tribes, Dabang is also a big tribe. Moreover, Abani, the leader of the Dabang tribe, is modest and knowledgeable, and has a high prestige in the Alishan area. He is also the high priest of the Zou tribal alliance and has considerable appeal in the Alishan area. Many times, if the rich in Kana are unfair and bully other tribes, the small tribe will ask Abani to come forward to negotiate with the rich in Kana, because Abani has always been fair and the solution proposed can always take care of all parties. The chief of Kanafu usually gives face to Abani.

Abani is relatively open-minded and is willing to accept new things outside the mountain. When Liu Mingchuan, the first governor of Taiwan, ruled Taiwan, he sincerely invited indigenous people from all over the world to participate in politics. Abani also went to Taipei as a representative of the Zou ethnic group in Alishan and discussed the big plan to govern Taiwan with Liu Mingchuan.

After Liu Ming passed away, his successor, Shaoyou Lian, was not enterprising and gave up Liu Ming's strategy of governing Taiwan. Many government affairs were difficult to carry out. Abani stayed in Taipei and returned to his hometown in Yushan. However, he put his son Meng Neng into a new school in Taipei, which broadened Meng Neng's eyes. He not only learned a lot of Western scientific knowledge, but also met many Han officials and gentry, which made him have a strong sense of belonging to mainland China, unlike many indigenous people in mountainous areas, who have a strong sense of Hakka people from the mainland China. Deeply wary.

Qiu Pengjia is one of Meng Neng's friends. Therefore, when Qiu Pengjia was preparing to build a democratic state in Taiwan, Mengnon persuaded his father Abani to organize more than 100 strong Dabang people to join Qiu Pengjia's Democratic National Army and fight against the Japanese army. As a result, in the battle, the Dabang people died one after another, leaving Meng Niang alone. If Zhang Jun hadn't come in time, He is going to die on Bagua Mountain with Wu Pengjia.

Mengnon regards Zhou Charter as his lifesaver.

This time Zhang Jun entered the mountain, Mengnong volunteered to serve as a guide and took the special forces team into Alishan. Because Mengnong was the guide, the indigenous people along the way were very friendly to Zhang Jun. The special forces did not encounter any harassment and obstacles. The progress went smoothly. Many villages also provided food for the special forces, and the special forces team followed the weekly charter According to the requirements, all the food and fodder provided by the village will be paid, and whoever dares to rob the property of the local residents will be shot. Therefore, the place where the special forces passed was warmly welcomed by the Zou people. In this way, the subsequent independent travel will be smoother.

According to Zhou Charter's plan, Zhang Jun should gather in the Dabang people's residential area, which is located in the southwest of Alishan, close to Tainan and Kaohsiung, and its strategic position is very important.

On October 2, the special forces team arrived at the foot of Yushan Mountain. The mountain road was blocked by the local Zou people.

This is a path sandwiched between a stone wall, known as the mouth of the gourd. The path is winding and rugged, and there are high cliffs on both sides. Hundreds of Zou people guarded the cliff, blew the snail, opened their bows and arrows, put knives and guns out of their sheaths, and stared at the officers and soldiers below fiercely. As soon as Zhang's soldiers approached, there were random arrows on it.

The path in this stone crack seems to be dangerous, but in the eyes of Zhang Jun's special forces, it is nothing. There are many eaves and wall-walking pund in the special forces team, and they are all sharpshooters. As long as Zhou Charter orders, the special forces can immediately eliminate the upper blockers and take this barrier.

However, Zhou Charter strictly ordered the troops not to attack the Zou people above. Zhang Jun must avoid any conflict with the local aborigines. This is not only to obtain the aborigines to help Zhang Jun fight against the Japanese army, but also to prepare for public opinion for the construction after the end of the war. To build Taiwan into a base for the Zhang army, it must be supported by the indigenous people of Taiwan. In Zhou's eyes, these indigenous people are actually his people.

However, Zhang Jun is not panicked. According to the experience along the way, as long as Meng Noon comes forward, all obstacles will be solved. Therefore, the special forces camped in place, and Mengnon took two attendants to Hulukou to negotiate with the local indigenous people.

Guo Erpa was idle. He saw a small temple by the roadside. When he went in, he saw that the statue was quite like Taishang Laojun. At present, he was awed and kowtowed three heads respectfully.

After kowtowed, he heard Yao Xi say behind him, "I said Guo Erzhuan, you are a mother of two poles. You have to kowtow when you see any messy ghosts." The Zou people in Alishan believed in primitiveness and believed in a variety of gods. After Zhang Jun entered the Alishan area, he saw all kinds of strange gods along the way, such as birds, beasts, fish and insects, and even stones. Zhang Jun's brothers came from the mainland. Although their beliefs were also very mixed, they did not see birds, animals, fish and insects kowtow. Therefore, when seeing the temple of the Zou people, everyone regarded it as strange, and no one took it seriously.

"Fuck your mouth clean, this is Taishang Laojun!" Guo Er pole shouted.

"You are too old." Yao Xi shouted, "Look carefully. That's a mortal!"

Guo Erjian fixed his eyes and saw a line of Chinese characters above the statue, which said "Wu Feng's position".

Guo Er pole couldn't help but be very angry: "Damn it, these barbarians pretend to be ghosts all day long. In the small temple along the way, they were either beasts or strange. They finally saw a human figure and a fucking mortal, earning me three heads! If it hadn't been for the eldest brother's order not to damage the barbarians, I would have burned this mud tire with a fire!"

A scolding sounded behind him: "It's your blessing for you to kowtow three times to him!"

Guo Erba didn't look back, and "ba" stood upright - that was Zhou Charter's voice.

Zhou Charter did not wear his military uniform or horse boots, but, just like the soldiers, wearing coarse cloth military uniforms, leggings on his legs, armed belts, and sweat stains all over his body. The temperature in the mountains was high. Along the march, Zhang Jun was sweating all over the way.

Zhou Charter walked into the temple, bowed deeply to the statue, and muttered, "In the future, Zhou Charter led his troops to fight against the Japanese army in order to save the Taiwanese people from water and fire. Mr. Wu asked us to help our Zhangjun drive away the Japanese invaders, Taiwan to achieve peace and the people live in peace. On the day of success, our Zhou Charter will certainly protect the country and benefit the people and live up to Mr. Wu's kindness and righteousness! If it is violated, the charter is willing to be punished by God!"

Yao Xi and Guo Erjian saw that Zhou Charter was so respectful and did not know why, but they did not dare to take a sound. They had to follow Zhou Charter and bow to the clay sculpture without daring to neglect it.

After Zhou Charter finished speaking, Guo Erwan carefully asked, "Brother, is he your old acquaintance?"

Zhou Charter sighed, "I have a short life, and I have no chance with Mr. Wu!"

"Then how do you know him?" Yao Xi came up and asked.

"No one knows the mountain people of Alishan." Zhou Charter said, "He is a great hero!"

Yao Xi stared at the statue for a long time, shook his head and said, "Brother, I think he is a bad old man. How can he be a powerful hero? Did he kill a lot of Japanese? But he looks like that I'm afraid he can't even lift the knife.

"Do you have to kill a talent as a hero!" Zhou Charter scolded: "Mr. Wu has never killed anyone in his life. He has not even hurt birds or beasts!"

"Brother, I understand, he is a good man!" Guo Er pole said.

"It's a little reliable." Zhou Charter nodded: "However, there is a difference between small good and great good. Many people have done good deeds all their lives and accumulated virtues. That is a small kindness, and this Mr. Wu is a great kindness in the world.

Zhou Charter said.
