【Chapter 21】The Secret of Japan's Invasion of China
When I saw the admirable Red Turban Army general coming towards me as the storyteller said, I stood up quickly, without any fear, but looking up at him with respect.
"Haha, sit down, young man," the visitor waved his hand amiably, motioning for me to sit down, "My name is Liu Futong, from the Song Dynasty..."
"General Liu, no! It's Prime Minister Liu!" Before the man could finish the introduction, I stood up like a spring and called out to Prime Minister Liu respectfully, "You are exactly the same as the sculpture in the hall of the cave."
ah!"
"Oh, it seems that the younger generation knows something about me! Tell me, what do the younger generations think of me?" Liu Futong seemed to be very interested, looking at me with a smile, "As for me and the statue outside
Yes, that’s because during my lifetime, this statue was carved and placed here to guard military resources.”
"We all heard about it from books. It is said that General Liu led the Red Scarf Army in the late Yuan Dynasty to expel the Mongolian Tatars and save the people from the danger of fire and water. He was invincible, wise and courageous, and established the Song Dynasty...", I
He made up incomplete and garbled parts of what he heard from the calligrapher at that time, and expressed to General Liu the respect that future generations had for him.
"Okay, okay," General Liu interrupted me with a smile and waved his hand. "The merits and demerits of the Han people will be judged by future generations. Although the Song Dynasty was eventually replaced by the Ming Dynasty of Zhu Chongba (Zhu Yuanzhang), the Han people's
The Ming Dynasty was also kinder to us Han people than the Mongolian Tatars! What’s more, these things have long been like passing smoke and turned into soil, so let’s not mention it! By the way, why are you here?”
I briefly explained the situation outside to General Liu. The general idea was that since the Japanese invaded China, the people's families have been destroyed, and there have been countless casualties. Although our national army fought hard to kill the enemy, it was retreating steadily due to various reasons.
Not long ago, the army was dispersed by the Japanese. We were forced to retreat into the deep mountains and old forests. We accidentally entered this cave. Fortunately, we met General Liu Yunwen...
After listening to this, General Liu pondered for a moment and actually talked about the incredible historical origins of Japan's invasion of China:
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, we, the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, have been killing more and more and accumulating a lot of karma. We have created mountains of evil and seas of blood. How many unjust souls and ghosts, as well as countless livestock and wild beasts that have been buried in human belly, have all been reborn on the deserted islands in the East. There are also poisonous insects.
Yaksha takes the lead in causing trouble, hates China, and looks at each other across the sea with eager eyes; in this world, China is in chaos again, and all the people are hanging upside down. Coupled with the retribution of cause and effect and the cycle of heaven, those livestock ghosts who were reincarnated on the small islands in the East took on human form and stirred up troubles.
It’s a disaster for all living beings in China...
"General, are you saying that the current Japanese devils are the ghosts of injustice, reincarnations of livestock and wild animals? Are they here to take revenge on us?" I looked at General Liu in surprise and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, cause and effect repay each other, and the way of heaven circulates!" General Liu sighed, "However, they have gone too far this time and committed too many evils. From a close look, they will be defeated and surrender, but from a distance, the island may be destroyed!"
"General, are you saying that little Japan may become extinct?" I eagerly wanted to know the final fate of the cruel and inhumane little Japan.
"Yes, if they don't repent and make a new start, they will be punished by God. However, if the island is destroyed, it cannot be done by humans. It must be an earthquake and tsunami... Alas, I won't say it anymore, the secret cannot be leaked, and besides, I will give birth to you in my lifetime.
You may not be able to see it," General Liu continued, "However, you will be able to see the consequences of this beast's evil ghost's revenge on China soon!"
"What will happen in the end, General Liu? Will their little Japan be defeated by us in the end?" I really want to know the final fate of little Japan.
"Two loud noises, the whole country surrendered! If I say more, I will give away the secret. Because you are upright and love the people and are not greedy for money. You came here for a while. The gold and silver materials here are of no use to me. Please take them.
, use it for the people, not only will I not blame you, but I will also protect you to get out of the mountain smoothly! You don’t have to go back the way you came, you can go straight out. That’s it, young man, it’s time for me to go.” General Liu finished.
Just disappeared from my eyes.
"General Liu, General Liu! How are we going to get out of the mountain? Is there a shortcut?" I still had something to ask, so when I saw General Liu go away in an instant, I couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Wake up, brother Yanzhen! What are you calling General Liu? Are you calling me Boss Liu?" Goudan pushed me.
I opened my eyes and saw that I had just been dreaming, but it was so realistic. Just when I was puzzled, Boss Liu and others also woke up and gathered around me to ask what was going on.
I just told the dream about General Liu Futong in detail, especially about Japan's invasion of China and General Liu's arrangements for the gold!
"Two loud noises, the whole country surrendered! What does this mean? Is it thunder? If something rang twice, little Japan would surrender?" Xiao Li said thoughtfully.
At that time, it was certainly impossible for us to predict that the two so-called "two loud bangs and the nation surrendered" referred to the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki!
"By the way, General Liu also said that he would not be surprised if the gold and silver treasures here were given to us. He just wanted us to take them out and use them for the people!"
"Okay, okay, but there are only five of us, how can we do it? We won't be able to get out even if we are exhausted!" Dasha started to worry in confusion.
"Hahaha... Brother Dasha, don't worry. Are hungry men afraid of too much food? As long as General Liu is willing to give it to us, of course there will be a way to get it out," Boss Liu said. "After we go out, tell the officer
Wouldn’t it be better to report it and send a large force to move it in?”
"Okay, let's do it like this! When the time comes, buy some aircraft, cannons, tanks, etc., and each of our brothers will drive one, so as not to be angry with the little devil anymore!" Xiao Li suggested, "Let's go see it later.
Let’s see what’s in the other holes!”
"You guys, get some rags, find some sticks, soak some oil here and use it as a torch!" Boss Liu ordered.
"Where can I get rags and sticks?" Xiao Li said as he took off his tattered coat, took off his bayonet, wrapped the tattered coat tightly around it, and put it into the oil tank.
After soaking it for a while, Xiao Li lit it and it turned into a blazing torch.
Xiao Li held up a torch and took us into the nearest darkroom. This darkroom was many times bigger than the one before. There were several piles of unknown things, and the covers were even tighter. When we touched them with our hands, we saw that they were thick
A layer of grease, it turns out, is a layer of oil applied on top of several layers of coarse cloth to isolate the air. It seems that the things underneath are more valuable.
"There must be a pearl treasure below here that is more valuable than gold! Let me take a look first!" Goudan said as he pulled off the top layer of oilcloth!
What is displayed in front of you is not gold and silver, let alone pearls and gems, but a pile of swords! Open the other piles, and they are all cold weapons such as swords, hooks and forks!
"Oh - I see, this was the arsenal of the Red Turban Army back then. I don't know if these things can still be used after such a long time!" I said and pulled out a knife from it.
, Under the firelight, this broadsword from hundreds of years ago, with its thick back, thin blade and long handle, still gleamed coldly...
Just when we were praising the cold weapons here, a "squeak" sound suddenly came from the cave. Except for Xiao Li who had a gun in his hand, our comrades without guns immediately pulled a sharp thing from the pile.
, be ready!
Chapter completed!
