澎湖地名之旅Part52 打賊島 吉貝　

　　白沙鄉吉貝村，是離島的村落之一，在澎湖凡是取「吉」這個字作地名，閩南話是指有貝塚及荒僻的地方。

　　「那個所在足乾吉」！這是早年在澎湖高齡居民常講的一句話，意指「那個地方是個不毛之地」，先民取「吉貝」作地名，是否比喻此意尚待查證。自清朝時代至今，吉貝這個地名都沒有更改。

　　吉貝島的聖帝廟，建於明永曆七年（1652），顯見在1652年之前島上就有先民居住了，是澎湖歷史最久的古老村落之一。自清朝康熙二十三年（1684）到光緒十二年（1886），吉貝島都是軍防據點之一，叫做「吉貝汛」，屬「澎湖水師（海軍）右營」指揮。（按：澎湖有兩個水師營，即水師左營及水師右營）。「吉貝汛」的人員及裝備編制是，正八品「外委千總」（類似現代中尉軍官）一人，戰船一艘，兵卒五十人，屬於澎湖中型軍防據點。

　　據「台灣史」、「澎湖紀略」、「澎湖廳誌」等許多文獻記載，在明、清時代，吉貝島都是外國軍隊、海盜肆虐及內戰場之一，兵慌馬亂達五、六百年之久。

　　此外，清朝時代吉貝島也是類似現代鄉治所在地，稱為「吉貝澳」，「澳」類似現在的「鄉」，設有「澳總理」（類似現在的鄉長）一人，「地保」（類似現在的警察）及「元差」（類似現在的義警）各一人，當然「澳」辦公室裡還有員工若干名。

　　吉貝島所以是古代戰場及海盜肆虐的地方，是因為位在澎湖海域最北端，外國軍隊及海盜常在吉貝島登陸，當澎湖南部海域發生戰亂時，被打敗的一方必然由南往北逃，最後逃到吉貝島，軍隊則在島上作最後一場決戰，海盜則在島上進行最後一次搶劫，因此，相船吉貝島先民多少都會武術，藉以保鄉保家。
