你現在所在的地方是太魯閣，台灣最著名的觀光區之一。人們在壯麗的峽谷間穿梭，讚嘆著大自然鬼斧神工的創作。但是，很少有人知道的是，一百年前，公路旁的這片山林曾發生過一場慘烈的戰役。讓我們翻開塵封的歷史，回到西元1907年，從兩個民族的第一次碰撞講起。
1907年五月，當時居住於現今吉安鄉一帶，長年看守隘勇線的阿美族七腳川社族人因為對待遇不滿，因此襲擊當地的日警和軍隊，史稱七腳川事件。由於日軍封鎖導致糧食缺乏，七腳川社眾的反抗很快就被鎮壓了，該社原住民也被強制遣散至附近各社。這個事件除了讓七腳川社此一阿美族花蓮平原最大社就此沒落之外，更重要的效果就是讓時任台灣總督的佐久間佐馬太堅定了其理蕃的決心，並開始籌畫影響這一帶原住民五十年之久的「五年理蕃計畫」。
佐久間佐馬太是陸軍出身，參與過牡丹社事件，因此對原住民他採取以武力鎮壓的立場。在計畫獲得核准後，他以強力的軍事手段鎮壓了桃園、新竹一帶的原住民，在「李棟山戰役」、「角板山戰役」等數十場激烈的戰役後，日人總算將目標轉向了擁有大量山地資源的太魯閣族人。1914年五月，隨著總督本人親自隨軍進駐埔里總部，戰爭的號角正式被吹響。
這是場力量對比極度懸殊的戰役，相較於壯丁只有3000人的太魯閣族人，日軍不僅出動了同樣3000人的軍隊，更徵召了四百多人的原住民和超過一萬五千人的腳伕和諧做，總人數達到了三萬人。5月29日，日軍首先攻擊了托博闊社。太魯閣族人面對日軍的攻勢，採取游擊戰術來對抗，成功的拖慢了日軍的攻勢，並且偷襲殲滅了不少敵人。最輝煌的戰果就是6月2日在西拉歐卡夫尼社成功伏擊以室島一二少尉率領的部隊，並成功擊殺這位軍官。不過很遺憾的，由於裝備和人力的極度不對等，很快的日軍接連攻下卡拉寶社和西卡亨社。最後於6月14日，太魯閣峽谷中最大的部落古白楊社也被攻下，局勢開始朝著日軍方傾斜。
6月26日，日軍指揮官佐久間總督在巡視新闢的軍用道路時，遭到埋伏的原住民狙擊，導致他墜崖受傷。在接任指揮的少將平岡茂報復性的猛烈攻擊之下，太魯閣族反抗軍死傷慘重，古白楊社、西拉庫社、布洛灣社頭目接連陣亡。6月29日日軍更佔領了塔比多(今天祥)地區一座當時被稱為饅頭山的制高點，並架設大砲，控制了整個太魯閣峽谷，戰爭局勢就此底定。7月4日，太魯閣諸社頭目向日軍投降，戰爭正式結束。
在戰爭結束後，日人在太魯閣峽谷地區開鑿了合歡越嶺道，就此將太魯閣地區的天險打通。從此之後這條主幹道和如蜘蛛網般蔓延至各山區的越嶺道就幫助總督府牢牢控制了這塊充滿山地資源的寶庫。在過了一百多年後，這條道路的部分仍然以「錐麓古道」之名存在，並蛻變成了太魯閣最負盛名的步道之一。若是你來探訪這個多重寶，你將踏上合歡越嶺道的支線—海鼠山警備道，並得以探訪這一百年來，不同民族在這山區留下的，豐富多彩的歷史遺跡。
在前往探訪前，請先試著在塵封的歷史中翻找，並回答以下三個問題，將答案輸入Checker中，以得到第一步的指示。
1.在國民政府統治期間，許多日本式的地名都被修改成更中國式的地名。但是在太魯閣地區，有一個以某任台灣總督命名的地名幸運地逃過了改名的命運，甚至在後來林務局新建的設施中依然沿用此地名。請問這個地名為何？請輸入該地的標準羅馬拼音。
2.在太魯閣戰爭中，日軍習慣會為了紀念戰死的軍警，而將附近的地標以戰死者命名。在太魯閣戰爭中戰死者也不例外。請找出以此戰中軍階最高戰死者命名的地標，並輸入此地的海拔高度1XX5公尺。
3.前文提到的錐麓古道上，其實在某處隧道口外的岩壁上，刻有該古道主要開鑿者的姓氏。請指出這位開鑿者是誰，並將他的姓氏日文羅馬拼音輸入Checker中。
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
Stage 1：牧水山忠魂碑
1914年，太魯閣戰爭局勢初步穩定後，當時駐紮於牧水社附近的日軍第二守備隊在第二聯隊隊長阿久津秀夫帶領下，於牧水社附近舉行祭奠戰死軍警的儀式。並以當地的天然大石為材料，建設了忠魂碑。碑文從上而下刻出「戰死病歿 忠魂碑」等字，但如今由於風化的關係，只有忠魂碑三字勉強可以辨識。在沉寂了數十年後，2012年才被重新找出。這座石碑附近還有規模龐大的駁坎等遺跡，可以順便造訪。
除此之外，忠魂碑附近還有一座保存的相當完好的浮築橋。在道路通過低窪地時，為了保持道路的舒適性，通常會而加築土壘或疊石，作成堤狀的土、石橋，稱為浮築橋。在許多日治時期古道，像是內本鹿或合歡越都有相當美麗的浮築橋遺構保存下來。在過了一百多年的如今，這座橋仍然發揮著原有的功能，沒有崩塌或積水，可見當時工程的扎實與進步程度。
給定座標即是忠魂碑所在地。請仔細觀察四周，找出與這塊石碑關係最密切的兩位陣亡軍人的名字，將他們姓氏的筆劃相加，共3A劃。
Reference Point 1：天狗岩
在從第一舞台到第二舞台的路上，你會經過這個地方。天狗岩是一塊突出於崖邊的岩石。在大正年間出版的書中，有一張原住民站在此岩石上的照片被收錄，並註記「花蓮港廳下名物」。後來隨著時代變遷，天狗岩的傳說也湮沒在歷史之中，於2015才重新被山友發現。即使過了一百多年，此地的風貌仍然沒有太多的改變。走在這條路上的人們從太魯閣獵人、日本軍警，國軍榮民一直到如今的現代登山客，旅人來來去去，天狗岩仍然靜靜的看著走在這條古道上的人們，或許在很久很久的以後，當我們所知的所有事物都被遺忘後，它仍然會矗立在這裡，和身旁的櫻花樹一起，靜靜看著……
Reference Point 2：道路建設紀念碑
這個地方是往Final Stage可以順訪的遺跡群。
在太魯閣戰爭期間，由於地勢平緩加上相對高度較高，日軍駐紮了三個中隊在此，並配有砲兵部隊。同時為了拖運大砲，當時也在海鼠山豢養戰馬，而有馬場的稱呼。現今海鼠山附近平緩的蕨海就是曾經的馬場。隨著戰爭局勢穩定，1915年駐軍修築了海鼠山警備道路，這條路從合流開始，經過海鼠山駐在所、巴奇干駐在所而延伸至蓮花池。而後1930年軍隊撤軍，將海鼠山分遣隊改制成海鼠山警官駐在所，經過調整後即是我們看到的主要遺跡。海鼠山警官駐在所遺址的建築都已經消失殆盡，僅剩下一些軍用壕溝及酒瓶的人類生活痕跡尚存。
在駐在所附近就是道路建設紀念碑所在。這塊紀念碑是用水泥鑄成，再從山下一路沿道路背負上來，可見當時日人對這條道路的重視程度。值得一提的是，此道路的建設者之一淺井新一技師也同時建造了不少台灣各地的軍事設施，舉凡被列入基隆市歷史建築的基隆要塞司令部和台北城南的知名歷史建築臺灣軍軍司令官官邸都是他的傑作。
在駐在所附近還有海鼠山墓地遺址。當時太魯閣戰爭中戰死的日本軍警大多都於此安葬。此地原先擁有一百多座墓碑，但是由於國民政府統治時期，在此地開墾的榮民由於痛恨日本人，而將墓碑拋下山谷，因此如今可以見到的墓碑僅有四座。兩座在牛棚營地附近，而兩座則在跑馬場邊緣，若是時間允許的話可以順訪。
Stage 2：Final Coordinate
在最後舞臺中，你必須利用我所附上的藏寶圖，來找出座標。在解開三題題目後你就會得到藏寶圖及殘缺的紅點座標；到達忠魂碑後你則可以獲得完整的紅點座標。藏寶圖上的紅色星星則是最終座標所在地。

The place where you are now is Taroko, one of the most famous tourist areas in Taiwan. People wander through the magnificent gorge and admire the magical creations of nature. However, what few people know is that a huge battle took place in the mountains next to the highway a hundred years ago. Let us now turn to the dark history and return to 1907, starting with the first clash between two nations.
In May 1907, the Qijiaochuan Tribe of the Amis tribe, who lived in the area of Ji'an Township, attacked the local Japanese police and army because they were dissatisfied with the treatment. The incident was called the Qijiaochuan Incident. Due to the lack of food which the Japanese blockaded, the resistance of the Qijiaochuan Tribe was quickly suppressed, and the aborigines of the tribe were forcibly deported to nearby tribes. The most important effect of this incident was that Sakuma Sama, the then governor of Taiwan, was very firm in his determination in continuing to suppress the aboriginal people so he began to plan to spend his influence this area.
Sakuma Somata had participated in the Mudansha incident, so he took a stance with suppressing the aborigines by force. After the plan was approved, he used powerful military means to suppress the aborigines in Taoyuan and Hsinchu. After dozens of fierce battles such as the "Battle of Mt.LiDong" and "Battle of Mt.Jiaoban," the Japanese finally turned their goals elsewhere — to The Tarku who had a lot of mountain resources. In May 1914, with the Governor himself personally accompanying the army to the headquarters in Puli,the clarion call of war was officially sounded.
This is a battle with an extreme disparity of power. Compared with the Tarku tribe, which has only 3,000 men, the Japanese army not only dispatched an army of 3,000 people, but also recruited more than 400 indigenous people and more than 15,000 civilians. The total number of people reached 30,000 on the Japanese side alone. On May 29, the Japanese army first attacked the Toboko tribe. Facing the offensive of the Japanese army, the Tarkus adopted guerrilla tactics to resist the attacks, which fortunately l slowed down the Japanese offense and wiped out many enemies by such sneak attacks. The most brilliant result was the successful ambush of the army led by Captain Tarashima at Slagu Qhuni on June 2, which successfully killed the officer. Unfortunately, due to the extreme disparity in equipment and manpower, the Japanese army soon attacked Karapao and Skahing in succession. Finally, on June 14,Kbayan,the largest tribe in the Taroko Gorge, was also captured, and the situation began to tilt towards the Japanese military.
On June 26, the Japanese commander Sakuma was sniped by ambushing indigenous people while patrolling a newly opened military road, causing him to fall off a cliff and be injured. Under the fierce and retaliatory attack of Major General Hiraoka Shigeru, who took over the command, the Taroko rebels suffered heavy casualties, and the leaders of the Kbayan Tribe, Xiraku Tribe and Bulowan Tribe were killed in succession. On June 29, the Japanese army occupied a commanding height called Mantou Mountain in Tpdu (today TianXiang), and set up artillery to control the entire Taroko Gorge. The outcome of the war was already determined. On July 4, the leaders of the Taroko shrines surrendered to the Japanese army, and the war officially ended.
After the war, the Japanese built the Hehuan Old Trail in the Taroko Gorge region, overcoming natural obstacles of the Taroko region. From then on, this main road and the cross-ridge road that spread to the mountainous areas like spider webs helped the Governor's Mansion firmly control this treasure house full of mountain resources. After more than a hundred years, part of this road still exists under the name of "ZuiLu Ancient Road", and has transformed into one of Taroko's most prestigious trails. If you come to visit this multi-cache, you will set foot on the branch line of Hehuan Old Trail-Mt.Haisu Guard Road, and be able to visit the rich and colorful historical relics left by different ethnic groups in this mountainous area over the past century.
Before going to visit, please try to search through this dark history, and answer the following three questions. Enter those three answers as one long string into the Checker to get the instructions for the first step.
1. During the rule of the ROC Government, many Japanese-style place names were changed to more Chinese-style place names. However, in the Taroko area, a place name named after a certain governor of Taiwan has fortunately escaped the fate of changing its name, and it is still used in the newly built facilities of the Forest Service Bureau. What is this place name? Please enter the standard Roman pinyin of the place.
2. In the Taroko War, the Japanese used to commemorate the soldiers who died in the war and named nearby landmarks after the war ended. Those who died in the Taroko War were no exception. Please find the landmark named after the soldier who had the highest military rank and died in this war, then enter the altitude of this place 1XX5 meters.
3. On the Zhuilu ancient road mentioned above, in fact, the surname of the main excavator of the ancient road is engraved on the rock wall outside the tunnel entrance somewhere. Please indicate who this excavator is, and enter his surname in Japanese Roman Pinyin into Checker.
Stage 1: Musui Monument
In 1914, after the Taroko War situation initially stabilized, the Japanese Second Defense Team, which was stationed near Musuishe, led by Captain Hideo Akutsu, held a ceremony to pay tribute to the dead soldiers near Musui Tribe. And using local natural boulders as materials, a monument was built. After decades of silence, it was found again in 2012. There are also large-scale relics near this stele, such as the large-scale bark, which can be visited by the way.
In addition, there is a well-preserved floating bridge near the loyal soul monument. When the road passes through low-lying land, in order to maintain the comfort of the road, soil barriers or stacked stones are usually added to form an embankment-shaped soil or stone bridge, which is called a floating bridge. During the Japanese Occupation period, many ancient roads, such as Pasnanavan Old Trail or Hehuan Old Trail, have quite beautiful floating bridge remains. After more than a hundred years, the bridge still performs its original function without collapse or accumulation of water, which shows the solidity and progress of the project at that time.
The given coordinates are the location of the Monument. Please observe the surroundings carefully and find out the names of the two dead soldiers who are most closely related to this stone monument. Add the strokes of their surnames for a total of 3A.
Reference Point 1: Tengu Rock
On the way from the first stage to the second stage, you will pass this place. Tengu Rock is a rock protruding from the edge of a cliff. In a book published during the Taisho period, a photo of an aboriginal person standing on this rock was included, and it was marked "Hualien Harbor Hall's Famous Item." Later, as the times changed, the legend of Tengu Rock was also lost in history, and it was only discovered by climbers in 2015. Even after more than a hundred years, the landscape of this place has not changed much.
Reference Point 2: Road Construction Monument
This place is a group of ruins that can be visited by the Final Stage.
During the Taroko War, due to the high terrain and relatively high altitude, the Japanese army stationed three squadrons here with artillery units. At the same time, in order to haul the artillery, they also raised horses at the Haisu Mountain, which was called a horse farm. Nowadays, the fern sea near Haisu Mountain is the former horse farm. As the war situation stabilized, the garrison built the Haisu guard road in 1915. This road started from the confluence, passed through the Mt.Haisu station and the Bachigan station and extended to the Lotus Pond. Then in 1930, the army withdrew and the Mt.Haisu detachment was transformed into a police officer station. After adjustment, it is the main relic we saw. The buildings where the Mt.Haisu police officer was stationed at the site have disappeared, leaving only some traces of human life in military trenches and wine bottles.
Near the station is the road construction monument. This monument was made of cement and was carried along the road from the foot of the mountain, which shows how much the Japanese people were attached to this road at that time. It’s worth mentioning that one of the builders of this road, Mr. Shinichi Asai, also built many military installations across Taiwan, such as the Keelung Fortress Headquarters listed as historic buildings in Keelung City and well-known historic buildings in the south of Taipei. The mansion of the military commander is his masterpiece.
There is also the ruins of the Mt.Haisu cemetery near the residence. Most of the Japanese military and police who died in the Taroko War were buried here. There were originally more than one hundred tombstones in this area, but due to the national government rule, the veterans who reclaimed here hated the Japanese and threw the tombstones down the valley, so there are only four tombstones that can be seen today. Two are near the cowshed camp, and two are on the edge of the racecourse. You can drop by if time permits.
Stage 2: Final Coordinates
In the final stage, you must use the treasure map I attached to find the coordinates.You can get the treasure map and part of the coordinate of starting point after solving three questions above;The red star on the map are the final coordinates.
