Wusha History Introduction Wu Sha was born in the 9th year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1731 AD). His grandfather and father were both famous local Chinese medicine doctors. Wu Sha grew up in his ears and followed the practice of medicine and mastered medical skills. He is cheerful, helpful, decisive and committed, and enjoys a high reputation in the local area. In the 38th year of Qianlong (1773 AD), Wu Sha, a middle-aged man, brought his family and his family, traveled across the ocean to Taiwan, and lived in Danshui for the first time. He moved to Sanli Danliu in the same year. He cultivated wasteland, planted herbs and whole grains, and became self-sufficient, he started to run a business of mowing. Fanjia's business is mainly to transport people's livelihood supplies such as colored cloth, brown sugar, salt, grass, and wine to Fanshe to sell to the indigenous people, and then exchange them for mountain products (such as animal skins, antler wood, etc.) and sell them to Tamsui and Keelung. . Waiting for nearby cities to make profits. Wu Sha, who is gradually accumulating wealth, is honest and never hides money from the Aboriginal people or takes advantage of them. The Aboriginal people trust him very much. He likes to do business with his friends and friends. Therefore, Wu Sha is well-known and enjoys a great reputation in the Sanjiao area. Lofty social status. Forty-eight years of Qianlong (1783 A.D.), Danshui Tongxu Xu Menglin believed in Wu Shayan's words, and often had the power to recruit Lan Fan, and established a good customs with the government, so he was awarded the stamp of ``Wu Chunyu Yishou'' and let it Free recruitment. The chaos of Lin Shuangwen in the 51st year of Qianlong (1786 AD)Wu Sha assisted the official to stop the thief, and he was granted the title of "Wu Xinlang". His credit and ability were once again officially recognized, prestige and appeal Also greatly improved. Wu Sha was a bold and helpful person. At that time, many immigrants from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou came to him. Every time Wu Sha turned to Wu Sha, Wu Sha gave away a bucket of rice and an axe, and invited him to log in the mountains and smoke charcoal. In order to achieve a stable life of self-sufficiency. As the number of migrants who have come to admire has doubled, the original cultivated farmland harvest can no longer support the immigrants who have been able to subsidize.Be sure to expand the new cultivated land, so invite friends Xu Tianshen, Zhu He, Hong Zhang and others to discuss and decide to do tentative Pioneering. First of all, Wu Sha took advantage of the close contact with the aboriginal leaders and the cooperative relationship in business to obtain the acquiescence of the aboriginal leaders. Therefore, when Wu Sha was 57 years old (52 years of Qianlong; 1787 AD), he summoned more than 200 immigrants from Zhang, Quan and Guangdong to enter the area of ​​Panzai Mountain in Sanjiao (now the fourth nuclear plant), which is In the traditional hunting places of the aborigines, the nearest firewood was cut and the wages were gradually expanded to a certain scale. The aborigines did not stop and they were at peace with each other. In this exploratory development, all those who participated in the reclamation shared the land, so everyone trusted Wu Sha more. This group of people later became the main township of Kailan, and Wu Sha was also more confident in the future development of clams because of the success of the tentative development. In the first year of Jiaqing (1796 AD) (who was 66 years old in Wusha), there were more than 1,000 people who came to Wusha. Among them, Zhangzhou people accounted for 9/10.In September of this year, Wusha spent his life savings, and the same department belonged to him. Prepare defense weapons, transportation vessels, food and agricultural tools, etc. I took the boat to the south of Wushigang and built soil to enclose the wasteland and create land (now Yilantou). At first, the indigenous people did not resist. When the reclaimed land became larger and larger, the indigenous people began to fear, and then resisted the reclamation of Wusha. Conflicts often occur. Wu Sha did not succumb, while defending the indigenous people, and stepping up the reclamation, but the conflict was still constant, and each had their own injuries.Wu Li’s nephew Wu Li was killed in the battle, and several relatives and friends were also killed in the battle.Wu After discussing with everyone, Sha decided to temporarily retreat from the three mink and wait for the appropriate time to start reclamation. Soon, smallpox infectious diseases occurred in the clam-difficult area, and many indigenous people died without treatment. Wu Sha ignored the previous suspicion. According to the prescription of Zhangzhou folks to treat smallpox, he gave 36 indigenous peoples herbal medicine for treatment. The indigenous people had never taken this medicine. Repelled, Wu Sha forcibly convinced and saved hundreds of people. After this incident, the indigenous people believed that Wu Sha was a god-man. Apart from being moved, he voluntarily donated dozens of yards of land for Wu Sha's group to reclaim, and vowed not to violate each other. Seeing the opportunity, Wu Sha gathered all his manpower to reclaim the second and third siege. However, due to the shortage of funds, the reclamation progress was slow, and Wu Sha mortgaged his three mink land to Danshui Hall-Ke Youcheng, He Ji, Zhao Longsheng and others. With Wu Sha's usual good reputation and personhood, they have also generously helped Wu Sha to invest more resources in the development of clams and speed up the development schedule. Wusha recruited a large number of tenant farmers to enter the land for reclamation and made a stipulation: each land has five plows as a plow, and each plow is taxed with a tax of 20 yuan, which is used as a cost of living in the township. Every dozen people in the Ai Lao ranged from day to night and sent out patrols; regularly sent townships to greet pedestrians, so as to ensure the safety of residents and travelers. More and more people came to Wusha, and he reinvested the tax into reclaiming the land, and within two years he developed a second round. Wu Sha unified command, mountain, logging, building houses, reclaiming land, building roads, building bridges... In the 3rd year of Jiaqing (1798), Wu Sha reclaimed Tangwei (Jiaoxi) and Sanwei (Sanmin) and Siwei (Sicheng). Due to the hardship of his life and overwork, Wu Sha died at the age of 68 at his home in December of that year. After Wu Sha died of illness, his son Guangyi and nephew Wu Hua continued to reclaim Siwei and Wuwei (now Yilan City) according to the good regulations set by Wu Sha, and elected Wu Hua as the head of justice and followed his leadership. By the 9th year of Jiaqing, the development of the south of Wuwei and the north of Zhuoshui Stream (Lanyang Stream) was completed. Wu Sha became the first person in Taiwan's pioneering history to complete pioneering by force without a force. He set an example by reporting grievances with virtue and avoiding casualties caused by war. The Kailan process is to mortgage personal property to purchase equipment, vehicles and defense weapons for reclamation. After completing the reclamation, Wu Sha distributed the land to his associates, indifferent to fame and fortune. This is the best example of "interests are left to deployment, achievements are left to yourself." (The text comes from the DM in Wu Sha's former residence)
