Heru Cokro's Visit to the Gosari Tribe
After a simple welcoming ritual, Heru Cokro led his troops to the Kebonagung barracks. Since the situation was unclear, he could not take any action carelessly. He could only tell the infantry company to wait for orders and assign the Military Intelligence Division to track down and search for more detailed information about the barbarians.
Before they left, he specifically told the spy that if he were to chase after the territory's protective squad, order them to return.
After planning, Heru Cokro did not laze around and instead used the opportunity to tour the village. Kebonagung has become RW, and the most important work is to reclaim more agricultural land. They want to rush to reclaim 20,000 acres of land before Easter.
Kebonagung arrangement is a reprint of Dwipa Javanese Village. Even the port and dermaganya are symmetrical with those in the Java Village Dwipa. They were like twin stars guarding the entrance of the canyon.
Of course, he relied on the population from Java Dwipa to increase his numbers quickly. As with the previous Java Village Dwipa, the infrastructure is still lacking. Even Pantura that had been upgraded into a hamlet still had the same problem.
The quality of society is not enough to be placed in important positions. Fortunately, Pusponegoro was one of the earliest members of Java Dwipa and knew everything about its structure. So that with him who controls everything, the organizational structure of the place is quite well organized.
Heru Cokro decided to use a dual leadership mechanism. The head of the secondary base would be in charge and control everything. On the other hand, various directors of Jawa Dwipa have higher powers than directors of affiliated territories. So as to manage and instruct the various bureaus and divisions in the secondary base.
Of the two, the decision is in the hands of the head of the territory child. When both sides have a conflict of ideas, then the ruler will have the final say. If the director of Java Dwipa really feels they have made the wrong decision, they can talk to Heru Cokro.
At the same time, in order to strengthen his control over the secondary base, Heru Cokro prepared two methods. The first method is that every major decision must be reported and approved by it. So as to do this, he had to solve communication problems and build a fast and efficient horse station.
The second method is the power to appoint the person in charge. In the affiliate territory, the director would be decided by him and the head of the territory's child could only recommend them.
After touring the village, he returned to the barracks. At 14:00, the news finally came in a surprise.
The pursuing scouts had found their mountain fortress but found no trace of the territory's protective forces. Currently, Ghozi made the decision to split the troops into two groups.
Deputy Director Latansa led the elite people and infiltrated the mountain fortress to gather information. Ghozi and a group of other men kidnap a guard for information.
After interrogating the guards, Ghozi was pleased but surprised. Andika is chased into a barbarian trap. As there was a difference in strength, he could only forcefully give up.
Ghozi recalled the orders of Heru Cokro and sent the guards back to the mountain fortress with the best greetings from Java Dwipa, wanting to settle the hostage situation peacefully.
In such a high octane situation, the other party replied. That they could return the hostages but the Javanese ruler Dwipa had to personally go there.
After that, the guards were sent back to the mountain fortress. Analyzing all the information he gave, the barbarian leader decided to meet Heru Cokro.
Since the mountain barbarian leader wanted him to personally visit the mountain fortress, Heru Cokro obviously would not refuse. That bravery and confidence was something he had. But clearly he would also not walk alone forward so foolishly.
The next day, Heru Cokro led an infantry company and under the direction of the spies, they headed for the mountain fortress. From the barracks, across the plains, they managed to get into the forest in less than half an hour.
After entering, the speed of the soldiers decreased drastically, there were broken twigs and dead leaves everywhere, vines covered their sight and it was very difficult to move forward. Heru Cokro had to get off his horse and walk. Luckily the guides had a good experience and left a mark on the road so they didn't get lost.
After walking for two hours, the front scouts reported that the mountain fortress was two miles away. Heru Cokro ordered his troops to rest and replenish, waiting patiently.
Within 20 minutes, Latansa's team reached their location. As for the Ghozi group, they had been watched by the mountain barbarians, making it uncomfortable to meet.
Latansa reported what they knew about the barbarians, “Mountain fortress has about three thousand people, most of them young and strong. Because they live in deep mountains, they have no longevity and many cannot live past the age of 40. The chances of children surviving are also very small, so their average lifespan is 25 years. They rely on hunting and occasionally picking fruit to survive. Their leader is usually the captain of the hunters and is usually the strongest hunter among them. Mountain fortress also has shamans who are experienced in the art of medicine, those who are old and wise, also hold a lot of power.”
“All this region, there are 13 tribes known as Ujungpangkah Union. Inter-tribe itself is a divided hunting ground. The tribe we meet is called the Gosari Tribe and their tribal animal is the Hajj Pipit bird, it can only be considered as a medium-sized tribe. I heard that deep in the mountains there was a large tribe with tens of thousands of barbarians. Its leader was named Yusuf Anshori and became famous for hunting black bears. The shaman has no name and is referred to as the great shaman.”
"If we go deeper south. There is a Shaman Union consisting of 26 medium-sized tribes. If we go a little to the southeast, we will meet the Sidayu Union consisting of 21 medium-sized tribes. Lastly, to our west. There is a Guild of Panceng consisting of 14 medium-sized tribes."
Heru Cokro listened carefully, Latansa's intelligence report did not disappoint him. In just one day, he managed to discover so many things.
"Let's go, let's meet this Gosari Tribe."
In less than half an hour, they could reach near the mountain fortress. Looking at the group of men, the guards shouted, “Who are you, report your name.”
"I am the ruler of Java Dwipa who was invited by your leader." Heru Cokro answered loudly.
The guard had a small squabble, only after seeing one of the guards who had a small black bird stop on his shoulder. He said a few words to the bird and the bird flew deep into the mountain fortress.
Seeing the situation, Heru Cokro helplessly shook his head. Andika was ambushed. The tribe had such a reconnaissance tool, they would definitely lose. The little blackbird not only recognized the path but also understood human speech. He suspected that the bird was the Hajj Pipit bird.
