AMPON CHIK PEUSANGAN WITHIN THE TRACING REVOLUTION IN ACEH By: Dr. Teuku Mohamad Isa
We return to the story of Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun. His first wife, Potjut Salbiah, a native of Nanggroe Peusangan, gave birth to two children. His first child, a daughter, was named Pocut Zahara, and because of her beauty, the Peusangan people gave her the nickname Potjut Buluen. The second child, a son, was named Teuku Ali Alamsjah. The people of Nanggroe Peusangan called Teuku Ali Alamsjah as the name of Commander of War (Ampon Prang), because he also led the Nanggroe Peusangan troops in the war against the invading Dutch army.
What about Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun's second wife. His second wife, Potjut Unggaih, gave birth to 3 children. They consist of 2 daughters and a son. Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun's first child from the daughter of Uleebalang Meureudu was Potjut Sjaribanun. The people of Nanggroe Peusangan call Pocut Sjaribanun with the pet name Pocut Putroue, because of his noble attitude in everyday life with his people. The second child was a son, Teuku Muhammad Djohan Alamsjah, a young man who would emerge as a prominent uleebalang in Aceh. And the third is also a son, Teuku Bustaman.
Pulo Iboh, the
birthplace and place where Teuku Muhammad Djohan Alamsjah grew up, is also the
official residence of the Peusangan uleebalang. Pulo Iboh is also called Kuta
Uleebalang (palace) Nanggroe Peusangan. Iboh Village also holds an important key
in the history of Aceh's social revolution in 1945-1946. Why ?
Concerning Iboh
there is another story. It was from this village that Teungku Amir Husin Al
Mujahid's parents came from. When the war between Aceh and the Dutch was
reaching its peak on the north coast of Aceh, Husin al Mujahid's parents'
family fled to Nanggroe Idi, who had been a friend of the Dutch kingdom long
before the Aceh-Dutch War began. The people of Aceh gave the great title to
Amir Husin al Mujahid, Napoleon Bonaparte
of Aceh , because of his success in destroying and massacring all the
uleebalang of Aceh in just a few days. Without ever fighting, this elementary
school teacher at a Madrasah in Idi - East Aceh, was able to outwit the Resident
of Aceh / TKR/TNI Major General Teuku Njak Arief and took him to the detention
camp in Takengon. As a Napoleon Bonaparte of Aceh with his TPR army (people's struggle
army) ferociously massacred all the Acehnese uleebalang and their followers.
Then Amir Husin al Mujahid appointed himself Major General, strangely when he
held the rank of Major General his army disappeared with the smoke of the Aceh
social revolution. His fellow PUSA friends called him the great philosopher of
Aceh. Teungku Amir's success in ousting Teuku Njak Arief, Resident-ruler of the
newly independent Republic of Indonesia in Aceh, brought a Jamiatul Diniah
Abadiyah madrasah teacher in Blang Paseh-Sigli named Teungku Muhammad Daud
Beureueh to the throne of the new Aceh Dictator. While placing his hands on his
hips, with his left hand he pointed a finger at Teuku Tjhik Daudsjah - Aceh
Resident Official. He ordered the chameleon Uleebalang Idi to appoint the owner
of the Pidie medicine kiosk, Teuku Muhammad Amin, as Assistant Resident of Aceh
for Political Affairs. Impressed by PUSA's cruelty, in an instant Teuku Tjhik
Peusangan, who had been glorified by his people , turned
into the target of Teuku Muhammad Amin's capture in March 1946.
TEUKU TJHIK SJAMAUN WAS GUARANTEED WARFARE.
During the battle with the Dutch in Nanggroe Peusangan, Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun withdrew to the upstream area of the Peusangan river which was full of jungle. During this evacuation, Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun set a strategy against attacks and invasion by General van Heutz's troops. This Uleebalang had sworn that he would never meet a Dutch infidel. After guerrilla warfare for 2 years, Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun fell ill and died in the middle of the Peusangan jungle. Thus, his vow not to meet Dutch infidels came true. The patriotic Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun was buried at his command headquarters in the middle of the Peusangan jungle. The funeral of this patriotic uleebalang received magnificent honors from his loyal troops and followers. Unfortunately this historic tomb was later moved. After the situation in Peusangan became peaceful, Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun's body was reburied in Matang Glumpang Dua, by his son Teuku Tjhik Muhammad Djohan Alamsjah.
