Raja Sohahuaon Sinambela, title Sisingamangaraja XI, was a king of the Sisingamangaraja dynasty and priest of Parmalim in Tano Toba. He was the first Singamangaraja to have direct contact with the missionaries, including with Ludwig Ingwer Nommensen.[2]
Sisingamangaraja XI ruled Bakkara for 37 years (1830–1876). His reign was constructive. This is shown by the rebuilding of Bakkara and Toba from the damage caused by the Padri fighters attack.
The greatest service of Sisingamangaraja XI was as a father preparing his son Sisingamangaraja XII to be able to face Dutch aggression.[3]
Aceh military mission
In 1843–1845, Sisingamangaraja XI attended military education in Indrapuri, Aceh. There, Sisingamangaraja XI became close friends with his military school friend, namely Ali Muhammad Syah (who in 1870–1874 became the Sultan of Aceh). Upon his return from Aceh, Sisingamangaraja XI brought with him seven Acehnese commanders under the command of Teuku Nanta Setia.[3] In Bakkara, Sisingamangaraja XI together with Teuku Nanta Setia, who served as head of the Aceh military mission, He created a long-term guerrilla plan to prepare for the Dutch aggression that would attack the Batak and Aceh lands. The plan was as follows:[3]
- Batak troops (led by Sisingamangaraja XI) were stationed in the Simpangkanan River river basin, as well as the surrounding mountains.
- Acehnese troops (led by Teuku Nanta Setia) were stationed in the Simpangkiri River river basin, as well as the surrounding mountains.
The guerrilla plan was actually carried out in the period 1873 to 1907.[3]
During the 62 years of the Aceh military mission's existence in Bakkara, not once did a member of the mission betray or desert. In 1875, when Sisingamangaraja XII (son of Sisingamangaraja XI), the National Hero of Indonesia, visited the King Rondahaim in Raya, Simalungun, The Acehnese military mission participated and trained the troops of King Rondahaim.[3]
The Aceh military mission ended in 1907, when all its members died with Sisingamangaraja XII in Dairi.[3]
