The Earth Tiger Andalas

Chapter 9

The meeting was not only attended by teachers and silat college leaders, but also attended by many fighters who did not represent any college.

This meeting raised the theme of how the attitude of the fighters responded to the struggle of the natives who rebelled against colonial rule.where should the founders of these silat colleges take sides ?.

Of the 300 representatives of the silat college in Ranah Minang who attended, only 15 representatives of the silat college did not approve against the Dutch government, Almost all the votes of the vice college of silat called for to rise against the Dutch or join forces with the priest..

"We have been for years in the fight of sheep by the colonial by separating the position of Ulama and indigenous figures. Our weakness is easily incited and in a sheepfight.., Now is the time for us to unite our strength!!, We force them to flee back to Europe..!" Sutan saluak balingka also gave his opinion at the meeting.

Mandengar Ideas and input from sutan saluak, a leader from one of the silat colleges present at that time grinned and smiled cynically like mocking the opinion of the sutan saluak just now.

He was 'Arya garende', a young teacher who was only 30 years old. He succeeded his father who died in leading the padepokan 'Talang salasiah', a large silat college in the foothills 'sigumarang', the youngest nan luhak border with the bottom of the jambi..

The young teacher did look dapper like the trend of European makeup at that time. He was already much influenced by the European style of galamour and incited the colonial politics of the Dutch indies. Starting from the association, how to speak and lifestyle..

" I'm sorry, old man." sidelines arya garende when suan saluak gave his opinion on the pulpit.

Sutan Saluak Glanced towards arya garende.

" Yes, what's the matter..?"

" Does the old man feel great?, is the silat college that the old man led in the pariaman there already stronger than the Dutch Indian government that has controlled several intercontinental islands ??" Arya garende smiled cynically. The teachers who were pro-colonial governments laughed.

Sutan saluak smiled. " The school that I lead is not big. But if we unite, it will be a great power that is very difficult to break."

" Old man.!!, by the way that makes sense. Where could your long barrel weapon fight with a machete ???. The Europeans are a thousand steps ahead of our civilization!, their thinking is more modern. They are good at creating a wide variety of deadly weapons and war-engined vehicles.not just big talk.don't think big old man anymore!!, they come bringing change and progress !."

Kontan, all who agree with arya garende clapped their hands along with the roar of laughter they harassed the saluak suit.

" You're dreaming too much, old man..!" Arya garende.

Sutan Saluak took a deep breath. " Never be afraid to dream for the sake of good!!, because from dreaming that hope will appear later on. Do you want our posterity to be far from religion?, do you want them to forget the customs and culture of our ancestors ?"

Arya Garende Laughed, she shook her head repeatedly. " Fuck the old man..!" Mumbled slowly.

" What did you say..?" It turns out that the swearing of the arya garende plan was heard by Sutan saluak.

" You're too conservative, old man..!!" Arya garende raised her voice.

Anger in the face of Sutan Saluak., but he tried to suppress it. Laughter and cheers of arya garende supporters are still heard from behind.

When the chaos stood someone ahead, he looked at all the people present.

" I hope everyone is calm..!" He shouted in a loud voice. He was Sutan sati Dasman, the professor of tiger horizon college who stood in the realm of pariaman maranting wood, in the late 18th century.

" Why did you defend the Netherlands ?" Tanya sati dasman leads to arya garende.

Arya garende laughs. " I obey the leader !"

" What do they loot.??, they only buy the crops of the community, they apply taxes, is that what is called a plunder?, try to ask your heart and open your eyes.!, you know..!, who built a railway connection that passes through Bukittinggi to the bayur bay?, which even connects the line to your area in Pariaman there.. what less, parents who do not want to open their hearts to accept change..!"

" Buy at low price pressure, collect high taxes by force.!" Sutan sati dasman.

" Let's look at the territory that is obedient and subject to government decisions. The area advanced and became a big city. But try also to see the area where people are always rebellious, far away. How can it be built if every facility that is built is always damaged.!, everything that the government applies to the welfare of the people is also sir..!" the light of Arya Garende who was adamant with his opinion.

" You're too young to understand colonial politics..!" Sutan saluak chimed, leading to Arya garende.

" And you're both too conservative to accept modern thinking..!!" arya garende replied.

Hearing the striking answer from arya garende, Emotions Sutan saluak balingka peaked.

" Arya!!, you're still too snotty in understanding this. You better shut up if you don't understand what you're talking about..!!" Sutan saluak accused arya garende with her index finger.

Arya Garende retorted her index finger to the saluak suit that was still standing in front.

" You must be silent, rather than provoking people to betray the government.!!, you are already stamped traitor of the country !!" Arya garende shouted out loud.

" Seeet..!!, prang..!!"

Just as Arya Garende was ready to speak, Sutan saluak threw the cup where he drank towards the young Master's face. With arya dodging..

" You don't know how to speak with courtesy and courtesy to parents!, you little sycophant !!" maki suan saluak's.

Arya Garende was about to jump attack, but she was detained by those who tried to break up. as well as the saluak suits who tried to calm by Sutan sati dasman.

" Deliver me.!!, let me beat this old colossus !!" Arya Garende who tried to rebel because her body was held by five people who calmed her.

The situation in the meeting room is getting hotter when the pros and cons of the opinion of the sutan saluak are accusing each other.

While some of the attendees present had left the room while shaking their heads with faces of disappointment.

Sutan Saluak led by sati sutan dasman angku sati and several other people walked out of the room, avoiding things that did not want to happen in the room.

Likewise with Arya Garende, he was led out of the room through the back door.he always revolted to be released and wanted to beat the saluak, his face was red. while his mouth always curses on his back by shouting out loud.. " Father Old man is a colot..!!!"

The meeting of teachers silat that day was considered failed and chaotic.even the division due to differences of opinion has led to the end of the horns disbanding the organization "bond of the fighters of the land of minang' it.

Sutan Saluak, Sutan sati dasman and several other silat teachers have decided that they will no longer be present at every meeting in the future.

That day, the saluak, sati dasman and silat teachers who came from the pariaman region decided to return to their homes.

The meeting was considered a complete failure..
