Chapter 150 Armed Commercial Museum

Abani said, "Meri Creek said that she has only been the chief for three years, and three years later, she must be re-aped as the chief. If everyone doesn't agree, she will leave immediately, and she won't be the chief for a day! At that time, there was nothing we could do. Three years is three years, which is better than letting Anan become the chief. Let's take it step by step.

Zhou Charter nodded: "This is also a way. In three years, Merixi has carefully disciplined, and Anan may correct his evil deeds. Even if he is the same, Merixi can take three years to eliminate Anan's power, help the second young master Fusheng establish prestige, and then lift Fusheng to the throne of the great chief."

"Everyone thinks so." Abani said, "Now, three years have passed in a flash, and it has reached the agreed time limit for Merry Creek. Therefore, this year's millet festival is very different from previous years. It is likely that at tonight's millet festival, the great chief Merry Creek will announce his abdication and promote a new grand chief! It's a matter, so the leaders of the Zou clan from far and near Alishan have come.

"Dad, who will Merry Creek promote as the Grand Chief?"

Guo Ergan said, "It goes without saying that it must be Fusheng, the second young master. I don't see that Anan has made any progress at all. He actually went with the Japanese and said disrespect to the Great Chief Merixi. This boy is really mud that can't help the wall!"

Abani shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Zhou Charter asked, "Will Meri Creek promote Anan?"

Abani sighed, "If it had been six months ago, Meri Creek would definitely not have elected Anan, but now, it's hard to say."

"What's going on?"

Abani continued: "At the beginning, Anan did not become the chief and held a grudge, but Merixi was shrewd, capable and prestigious, and the people obeyed him. Although Anan has hatred, he has nothing to do. Originally, Merry Creek proposed a three-year appointment, which gave him a chance. If he changed his past three years and was dedicated to kindness, he was still very likely to succeed the great chief. After all, he was the eldest son of the great chief, and the second young master Fusheng did not want to take the position of the great chief from him. However, this Anan is broken, and it is getting more and more infacable.

"Then it's even more appropriate to recommend Fusheng." Zhou Charter said.

Abani shook his head and sighed: "When Meri Creek became the chief, in order to avoid suspicion, he divided the old chief's family wealth into two and gave it to Anan and Fusheng to separate their families. Merry Creek didn't ask for a penny.

"I don't want the old chief's property. This Merry Creek is really smart and has backbone!"

"Yes!" Abani said, "However, Anan took the old chief's money, made some useless friends, squandered his family property, and soon squandered his property. That's all. Anyway, it's his own property. What he likes to do is his own business. But he actually took his fox friends and dog friends to Fusheng's house to make noise. Fusheng was already timid and remembered brotherhood. Seeing that they were noisy, he took some silver to send them away. Anan actually relied on Fusheng and came to ask for money in three days. One day two years ago, they came to quarrel again. Fusheng was not at home. Fusheng's wife was angry and did not pay. As a result, they actually rob Fusheng's 12-year-old son and asked Fusheng to take money to redeem him!"

"Fuck, bandits will not rob their little nephews! This Anan is really not a mother!" Zhou Charter burst into a swearing sentence, which was learned from his master. As long as he was in a hurry, he would sweep the floor gently.

"Melixi knew about this and asked Dancai to take Fusheng's youngest son back, arrested Anan and all his fox friends and dog friends, and called the clan to discuss what to do with Anan. Most people demand the killing of Anan. Merixi thought that he was the bone and blood of the old chief. He couldn't bear to kill him, so he killed several of his accomplices. All the other fox friends and dogs were cansed and drove Anan out of Bailu Village.

"Then why did he come back?"

Abani said, "After Anan was driven out of Bailu Village, Merixi was also kind-hearted, afraid that he would not be able to live outside, so he gave him some money to go to Taipei to make a living. At the beginning of this year, that is, in February, Anan suddenly returned to Bailu Village with two Japanese.

"Japanese?" Zhou Charter is vigilant.

"Yes. The two Japanese came with valuable gifts, silver and guns. They met the great chief Merry Creek and said that they wanted to make friends with the Zou people.

"They are going to attract the Zou people and help them occupy Taiwan!" Zhou Charter said. In February, Zhou Charter was still fighting hard with the Japanese army in Lushun, and the Qing-Japanese War was in full swing. At that time, the Japanese were ready to occupy Taiwan and buy people's hearts everywhere in Taiwan. The Japanese have worked so hard and prepared for Taiwan for so long that they are bound to win! At that time, the Qing government of Taiwan was unprepared!

Abani nodded: "Zhou Junchang is right! At that time, the two Japanese said that they were not used to the Qing officials and Hakka Han to bully Taiwan's aborigines, and were willing to help the Zou people achieve Alishan autonomy and resist the Hakka Han invasion of the Alishan area. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let the Zou people help the Japanese invade Taiwan. These Japanese are very cunning. Obviously, they came to bully the Taiwanese people, but they said that they were to help the Taiwanese from the oppression of the Han people!"

"Did the Great Chief agree?" Zhou Charter asked.

"The Japanese come under the name of making friends. They are very friendly. The Zou people have always been hospitable and have always treated guests from afar. Moreover, most of the Zou people have never dealt with the Japanese and do not know the Japanese, but they know the Hakka Han people and the officials of the Qing Dynasty very well. The Zou people have always been dissatisfied with the officials of the Qing Dynasty and often conflict with the Hakka Han people. I heard that the Japanese want to help the Zou people deal with the Hakka Han people, and everyone is interested. Those Japanese were very courteous and gave a lot of guns to Bailu Village, which was very polite to the Zou people. Therefore, many Zou people also have a good impression of the Japanese. Therefore, although the chief did not agree to the Japanese's request, he also treated the Japanese with courtesy and promised to trade with the Japanese, and, according to the requirements of the Japanese, set up a commercial hall in Bailu Village to allow Japanese merchants to do business in Bailu Village. The Japanese also proposed to let Anan host Bai Luzhang's business hall for the convenience of both sides. This requirement of the Japanese is not too much. After all, Anan is from Bailuzhai, and only he knows the Japanese. As long as he does business peacefully, there is nothing wrong with him. Therefore, Anan returned to Bailuzhai.

Zhou Charter sighed: "The great chief was fooled. This is a trick played by the Japanese. In fact, he pressed a nail in Bailuzhai!"

Abani sighed, "That's right! Anan returned to Bailu Village. He was supported by the Japanese. He was not only rich, but also had guns. He recruited those fox friends back. They turned the business hall into his stronghold and set up a business group. The group members were all useless Kana rich children. There is also a Japanese named Kono Longqiao in the business hall. He said that he is engaged in fur business, but he knows nothing about fur. However, he is particularly good at marching and fighting. He stays in the business hall all day to train regiments. With the escort business group, Anan is even more arrogant and less and less attention to the chief.

"It seems that the Japanese want to use Anan to control Alishan, and Anan wants to use the power of the Japanese to ascend the throne of the great chief!" Zhou Charter said.

Abani nodded: "That's right! In June, the Qing Dynasty gave Taiwan to the Japanese. When the news came, Anan met the great chief and asked the great chief to raise the sun flag of Japan on the White Deer Village to show his obedience to Japan. The great chief disagreed and severely reprimanded Anan. Later, Taiwan established a democratic country, and President Tang Jingsong sent people to ask the rich people to take the lead in raising the yellow tiger flag of Taiwan's democratic country. The chief did not agree.

"Why?" Zhou Charter asked, "Bai Luzhai is under the rule of Taiwan's democratic country. Should we support President Tang?"

"It's not Anan and the others. The Japanese bought people's hearts in Bailuzhai, while Tang Jingsong was originally the governor of the Qing Dynasty and had no kindness to the Zou people in Alishan. Many rich people in Kana are facing the Japanese. As soon as Anan and the others made trouble, many Kana rich people also echoed, and it was difficult for the great chief Merry Creek to make a decision. Later, the Japanese attacked Taipei. I wanted to organize the Zou people to help President Tang fight against the Japanese. It was because Anan and others opposed it and didn't work. In the end, I had to let Mengnon take our Dabang children. Poor them all died in the hands of the Japanese!" Abani said.

"The officials of the Qing Dynasty are indeed not good to the Zou people, but after all, they are of the same kind. There is no contradiction between you and me. To put it bluntly, it is just a quarrel between brothers. Moreover, Han officials such as Qiu Pengjia and Wu Pengnian are still very friendly to the mountain people. And the Japanese want to turn the Zou people into their slaves!" Zhou Charter said.

"This is the reason!" Abani said, "However, most Zou people can't see this. In June, the Japanese attacked Taichung. The Japanese in the business hall became more and more arrogant. In the past, they still secretly trained regimental men. Later, they simply blatantly recruited soldiers and horses, and Anan was even more forgetful. Unexpectedly, the three-year appointment was coming. At that time, he was the only one to be the position of this great chief! Just half a month ago, five more Japanese came to Bailuzhai with guns and ammunition. In the past, every time the Japanese came, they were in the name of doing business, but this time, they simply revealed their identities. They were sent by the Japanese Southern Army Command. They directly asked the Grand Chief Merixi that the three-year appointment must be as scheduled. Yes, the position of the great chief must be returned to Anan, otherwise, the Japanese Southern Army will think that this is an unfriendly behavior of the Zou people, and the Southern Army will respond strongly!"

"This is a ** naked threat!" Zhou Charter said.
