The Wanwan Mountains run through the entire Wanwan Island.
At the same time, this mountain range also divided the islanders of Wanwan into two camps.
Mountain people and islanders.
There are many mountain people, but they only live in the mountains. Although the islanders are small, they occupy fertile land.
Because the mountain people are not good at farming, they have no interest in plain areas.
But the power of the mountain people cannot be ignored.
The Atayal people are a very powerful mountain people tribe on Wanwan Island.
There are more than 45,000 young and middle-aged warriors.
In the southeastern area of Wanwan, the Atayal family is almost the only one.
In the southern part of the Wanwan Mountains, the western sphere of influence of the Atayal people is connected with the activity range of the islanders in the southern plain area.
On a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, there lives a village of more than 1,500 people.
The clothing, language, and food of the people in this village are almost exactly the same as those in Daqian.
They are all ordinary people who fled from the interior to Wanwan to make a living after the natural disaster.
Because they arrived late, almost all the plains in the south of the island were occupied.
The northern part is mostly within the sphere of tribal influence, so they can only huddle in this mid-mountain area and struggle to survive.
Until three years ago, another young man came to the village.
The lives of the villagers began to improve greatly.
This man's surname was Zhang, and he was also a man in trouble.
However, young people are also somewhat different from people in the village.
He didn't come to Wanwan voluntarily.
It is said that he was originally a court official of Daqian, so everyone called him Zhang Guanren.
During the natural disaster, he was working as an official in the capital. Seeing the destruction of the capital, Zhang Guanren wanted to escape back to his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River.
As a result, as soon as he left the capital, he was taken hostage by the mob and headed east.
The rebels in the coastal areas were defeated by the Japanese pirates, and Zhang Guanren became prisoners.
Zhang Guanren, who originally thought he was certain to die, had only been on the Japanese pirate ship for two days when a storm broke out on the sea.
The Japanese pirate ship hit the rocks and sank.
Zhangguan is originally from the southern water town and has excellent water qualities.
After falling into the water, he actually escaped from the sunken ship.
After three days at sea, feeling hungry and thirsty, and almost losing consciousness, Zhang Guanren encountered a group of pirates.
The pirates rescued Zhang Guanren and invited him to join their crew.
Zhang Guanren wanted to return to Daqian, but the situation forced him to give in.
Following the pirates, we arrived at the Daoyi Islands.
After coming to Daoyi, Zhang Guanren never forgot that his home was in Daqian.
He stole a boat when no one was prepared and prepared to go to sea.
As a result, he was in trouble again as soon as he went to sea. The boat was notoriously fast.
It didn't take long for it to sink again.
Zhang Guanren once again survived with his superb water skills.
But this time no one rescued him, and he drifted in the rough sea for two days. When he saw land again, he arrived at the bay.
When he first arrived in Wanwan, Zhang Guanren, a new face, could not integrate into the life of the islanders at all.
Fortunately, another kind person pointed him to a place, saying that there was a village halfway up the mountain that was founded by people who had been in trouble recently.
That's how Zhang Guan came to the village.
When we first arrived, the village was almost at a loss to open the pot.
The villagers also feed on tree roots and grass roots.
I could catch some game for several days, but it wasn't enough to eat.
At this time, Zhang Guanren's leadership skills were revealed.
He now leads the villagers to secretly go to sea to catch fish and shrimps.
The villagers were able to fill their bellies in the cracks.
Because they arrived late, there was no good harbor for them to use, so they could only go out to sea to fish from dangerous reefs.
Even so, Zhang Guanren and the villagers survived.
Later, the Atayal people from the east went down the mountain to hunt and met the Zhangguan people.
The son of the patriarch of the Atayal tribe was injured by a wild beast. It was Zhang Guanren who used Dagan's medical skills and herbs to save the son of the patriarch.
So the two of them worshiped each other, and with the support of the Atayal tribe, the village got a serious port.
What the people of Daqian lack most is hard work and ability.
Through this fishing port, the castaways of Daqian finally fully filled their stomachs, and they were able to trade with the Atayal people and the islanders in the west with their excess aquatic products.
Zhang Guanren was a wise man. He planted a lot of dry land crops on the mountainside, borrowed a hilltop from the Atayal people to raise livestock, chickens and ducks, and finally started a sea-breeding business in a bay.
After a series of operations, the villages that had been deprived of their lives were turned around within two years and became one of the few wealthy villages on Wanwan Island.
Moreover, under the leadership of Zhang Guanren, the village also established its own guard force.
In this anarchic state, Wanwan has the ability to protect itself.
And all of this is supported by the Atayal people. In the past, it was about brotherly convenience, but later it was about actual benefits.
Each of these tricks created by Zhang Guan people gave the Atayal 30% of the harvest.
The Atayal people are also willing to help Zhangguan people grow more and more powerful.
Last year, Zhang Guanren divided the newly opened fields in the village, so he thought of returning to Dagan.
It has been several years since he came out, and Zhang Guanren always remembers that he is a great cadre.
If the life of the people in the village was not so difficult, he might have left long ago.
When the villagers heard that Zhang Guanren was leaving, they were all reluctant to let him go.
Without Zhang Guanren, everyone would still be struggling with food and clothing.
The new leader of the Atayal tribe also persuaded him to stay out of brotherly love, and also wanted to marry his sister to Zhang Guanren.
But Zhang Guanren insisted on going back to Daqian, and everyone could only respect his opinion.
Later, the boat for Zhang Guanren to return to Daqian was ready, but when the villagers were fishing, they encountered the official boat from Daqian.
The people on the boat said they wanted to see their leader, who was Zhang Guan.
As soon as Zhang Guanren heard that Daqian was coming, he was overjoyed and came over to meet him.
The people from Daqian were naturally sent as sentinels by Song Jing, the King of the South China Sea.
At that time, they were responsible for inquiring about the islanders on Wanwan Island.
Because Song Yang wanted to regain Wanwan, he had to find out the situation on the island in advance.
As soon as Zhang Guanren heard what those people were inquiring about, he had a guess in his mind.
He didn't hesitate at all and directly expressed his intention to those people.
It is said that he can help Daqian persuade the islanders on the island to accept Daqian's jurisdiction.
So Zhang Guanren, who temporarily gave up returning to Daqian, began to lobby from village to village.
I hope they can surrender to Da Qian.
He even went to talk to his brother, the new leader of the Atayal tribe, about this matter.
The Atayal people were not interested in surrendering to Daqian, and the Zhangguan people did not force them, so they targeted the islanders in the plain area.
After constant efforts and persuasion, some villages actually wanted to join Dagan.
When Zhang Guanren went north to negotiate with the three villages of Cai, Su, and Wu, he encountered the evil behavior of these three villages to intercept and kill the villagers in the southern village.
Zhang Guanren only had a dozen people with him at that time, and they were no match at all. He did not rush to rescue him, but hid in the dark and witnessed the whole process.
Later, Zhang Guanren still decided to go to Sancunzhai to communicate.
As a result, the real owner didn't see him, and the three families of Cai, Su, and Wu were kicked out abruptly.
Zhang Guanren could only go back to the south, continue to persuade those villages that wanted to surrender, and silently contributed to Daqian's harvest.
