Chapter 145 A Plum

"Of course I said it," Meng Neng said angrily, "Damn it, I didn't even give my father's face these days! They are going to turn against the Dabang people! Fuck, they are unkind. Don't blame me for being unrighteous! Military commander, I am familiar with this area. You wait here. I will climb over the mountain to find my father and bring the Dabang people to settle accounts with them! Kanafu has always relied on the crowd to bully others, and we Dabang people have been unable to swallow this breath!"

Zhou Charter shook his head: "This won't work! The rich and Dabang people are all Zou people. They must not kill each other. Everyone must twist a rope to drive away the Japanese.

Meng Nong looked unconvinced: "They shot first!"

Zhou Charter pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't you hear the gunshot just now?"

Guo Erzao suddenly woke up: "Brother, it sounds like a Murata-style rifle, but it's more crisp than Murata-style."

Zhou Charter nodded: "This is the latest Type 95 continuous rifle made in Japan! It is the latest weapon of the Japanese army. It has only been assigned to the army for a few months, and outsiders can't get it at all!"

"Brother, you mean, it's the Japanese army!" Yao Xi became nervous. When dealing with a few mountain barbarians, even if the terrain is unfavorable, the Zhangjun special forces will not pay attention to them. But if the above is a well-trained Japanese army, the situation will be dangerous. Zhang Jun's current position is extremely unfavorable. Surrounded by mountains, he will be made dumplings by the other party at any time!

Zhou Charter shook his head: "It should not be the Japanese army, at least not the established Japanese army. If it is really the Japanese army, Meng Nong and others will not come back. Moreover, how can the Japanese army shoot a few shots and expose themselves so easily that they should launch a sudden attack on us before we can stand. I judge that the one who fired the gun above should still be a rich man, but the Japanese may have contacted them. I guess those Murata-style rifles should be a gift from the Japanese.

Mengnon nodded: "The military commander is right. I can see clearly that the people with guns on it are all Kanafu people. These bastards actually helped the Japanese beat us!"

Yao Xi said, "Brother, this is actually simple. You said that we can't shoot the barbarians. Now these barbarians have become traitors. First shoot at us, then we don't have to be polite.

Guo Er pole also stood up and said, "Brother, give me an order. I will take people up the mountain and solve the battle within an hour!"

Zhou Charter shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with the rich people guarding their homeland, whether they beat the Japanese or our Zhangjun! This is their territory. It is normal for us to come uninvited and not welcome. The rich man Kana is the great chief of Alishan area. If we launch an attack, we can successfully break through the mouth of the gourd, but we have a grudge against the rich man Kana. The Zou people in the whole Alishan area will follow the rich man in Alishan area to fight against our Zhangjun. Never fight! Mengneng, is there any other way?

Meng Neng shook his head: "This is the only way to go to Shannan. If you can't get through, you can only climb the stone wall. But if we climb the mountain, one or two people can sneak over. If there are many people, it will be their living targets."

"It seems that you can't fight!" Guo Er pole said.

Zhou Charter pondered for a moment and said, "Go out and see what they really want to do."

Everyone went out of the mountain temple together, came to the mouth of the gourd, found a bush, and observed upward.

On the top of the mountain, more than 100 strong rich people bare their chests and wear headdresses symbolizing the rich in Kana. They stand majestically on the cliff, holding knives, bows and arrows in their hands, and a few with rifles. The rifle is the Type 95 Murata rifle. The body is brand-new and shiny, and they are all new guns.

A head-like man stood on the cliff, with a headscarf wrapped around his head, a pheasant tail feather on his headband, a blue cloth top, a black skirt, a machete diagonally, and a pistol in his hand. The pistol is a product of Osaka Arsenal in Japan. Its performance is worse than similar Western products, but In the eyes of the Taiwanese indigenous people, it is also a great weapon.

There are still more than a dozen people in black skirts like him, holding rifles in their hands.

Yao Xi said, "These barbarians are really, and men also wear skirts!"

Meng Neng said, "She is not a man, but a woman!"

Zhou Charter noticed that although the man was strong, his face was painted with willow eyebrows and a little beautiful as a woman. And the people in short skirts behind her were also beautiful. It turned out to be a group of female soldiers.

"Who is she?" Zhou Charter asked.

"Her name is Dan Cai, a warrior of the rich in Kana." Meng Neng said, "In addition to her, she is a woman. In terms of strength and martial arts, she is more powerful than many men. Moreover, she is also a sharpshooter. No one can compare with her in shooting skills in the whole Alishan area."

"She is the boss in this broken place. My eldest brother shot two birds, and no one in the world can compare!" Yao Xi said.

Meng Neng said, "Of course, the military commander's shooting skills are powerful, but this Dancai is a fast gunner. Once, the rich man and the Pu people competed for a piece of woodland. On both sides, they agreed that a warrior would go to the seaside to fight seagulls. Within a minute, see who shot more, five guns per person, ten bullets each. As a result, eight Ping Putians killed. Guess how many Dan Cai killed?

"How can I guess."

"Fifty pieces!"

Yao Xi's mouth couldn't close for a long time. Zhou Charter was also secretly shocked. He fired a shot almost in a second and was hit by a gun. This Dancai's shooting method simply reached a state of amazingness.

"So it seems that those rich people don't really want your lives with those shots just now!" Zhou Charter said, "Otherwise, those of you would have been the ghosts under Dancai's gun!"

Mengnon nodded: "It should be like this."

Zhou Charter was a little relieved. Although the rich man guarded Zhang Jun, they didn't seem to really want to be the enemy of Zhang Jun. At least, at present, the rich people don't want to fight with Zhang Jun to the death.

However, they hold Japanese guns in their hands. If they really cooperate with the Japanese, it will be troublesome.

Zhang Jun was blocked under Yushan. If the Japanese army sent a unit to kill from behind, Zhang Jun would fall into an embarrassing situation of advancing and retreating.

The most urgent thing is to quickly pass through the mouth of the gourd, which is a dead place. Once attacked, it is difficult for the troops to deploy.

You can't take military action against the rich in Kana.

Zhou Charter frowned and asked, "Meng Nong, go and tell them that our Zhang Jun is just passing by and has no evil intentions. If they are willing to make way, we will give them 10,000 taels of silver and 200 rifles. Moreover, Zhou Charter is willing to make a bloody alliance with the chief of Kanafu, form Jinlan and drive them away in the future. Japanese, Zhou Charter is willing to govern Taiwan together with the great chief. If it is violated, it will be punished by God!"

Meng Nong nodded, went out of the bushes, and shouted loudly to the cliff in the language of the Zou people.

Dan Cai stood on the cliff and listened to Meng Nong's shouting. As soon as Meng Nong finished speaking, Dan Cai was expressionless and said a few words to a strong man. The strong man pointed to Meng Nong and shouted loudly. Dan Cai pinned his pistol to his waist and took a Murata-style rifle from the female soldier behind him. He pulled the bolt and did not aim. Accurate, it was a shot at Meng Neng. The hat on Meng Neng's head flew out and hung on the branch.

Mengnon had no hat on his head and ran back bare. At a glance, everyone couldn't help taking a cold breath. Meng Nong was originally a bald head, but now it's okay. A shallow blood mark was drawn on the shiny skull - Dan Cai's bullet flew past Meng Nong's scalp!

"What did they say?" Zhou Charter asked.

"They said that now is the time to harvest rice in Yushan. The rich people want to sacrifice millet. No outsiders can enter the mountain, especially the Han people! Otherwise, the gods will condemn the rich man!" Meng Neng gasped and said that the shot of Dancai just now almost blew Meng Neng's soul away!

"Is it really the millet season now?" Zhou Charter asked.

Meng Nong said, "They didn't lie. Now it's time to harvest rice. The Zou people are going to hold a millet festival. All Zou tribes in Alishan have to send people to watch the ceremony. According to the old rules, the millet sacrifice will take 15 days."

"Fifteen days!" Yao Xi shouted, "Damn, the Japanese have hit Tainan! Didn't you tell them that we have to pay for the road?"

"I said, I don't want it!" Meng Neng said, "Zou people believe in gods and money!"

Yao Xi said, "I think there is something wrong with that woman's brain. Damn, I can't speak to the woman clearly. Brother, let's ask their great chief to come out and talk to the great chief directly."

Zhou Charter nodded: "This is the best. Who is their great chief?"

"Military commander, the great chief is also a woman." Meng Neng said.

"What?" Zhou Charter was greatly surprised: "Is Kana's rich a matriarchal society?"

"Not either." Meng Neng said, "The former chief of the rich man, named Ran Duo, was a man. Ran Duo died of his wife at the age of 50. Later, he married an 18-year-old girl named Merixi. The Meri's mother's family is a member of the Zou clan. The family is very powerful. Merixi is particularly beautiful and is the most beautiful girl in Alishan. There is a Her name is Yizhimei, a mountain man in Alishan Mountain. No one knows her! This Meilixi is not only handsome, but also quite talented and fair, and the mountain people are convinced of him. Randuo was old and couldn't take care of it. He simply handed over the affairs of the clan to Merixi. Merixi handled the affairs of the tribe in an orderly manner and became more and more prestigious.

"Three years ago, when Randuo was 60 years old, she fell ill and died. At that time, Meilixi was only 28 years old and she did not give birth to a child for Randuo. Everyone elected the great chief. Ran Duo originally had two sons, both of whom were born to his ex-wife. The eldest is Anan and the second is Fu Sheng. He should choose one of the two sons to be the chief, but I don't know why the rich man promoted Merry Creek as the chief, and the clan also obeyed her. In the past three years, she has been the chief. It's smooth sailing."
