On Shigu Mountain, Lu Qingliu stood proudly under the tall archway of Shigu Academy. This archway has a history of hundreds of years, and it is the inspiration passed down from his ancestors when they established Shigu Academy. Hundreds of years of
Wind and rain have left too many memories on this tall archway. And Lu Qingliu himself has lived up to the expectations of his ancestors. In his hands, Shigu Academy not only flourished, but also became the largest private academy in Qingfeng. However,
All of this seems to have come to an end today. The archway is still high, but the Shigu Academy behind it has been plunged into a sea of fire. This was the fire set by Dongbo when he attacked the mountain, and at that time everything in the academy was destroyed.
When we stood up to resist, naturally no one went to put out the fire. But now, it seems that there is no need to put out the fire.
Standing behind him were hundreds of Confucian students who had stayed at Shigu Academy. There were only three hundred students at the beginning, but now there were less than two hundred left, and all of them were injured. But the look in their eyes was still there.
They were as perseverant as ever, and their spines were as straight as ever. On their faces, there was pain and sorrow, but absolutely no fear. They just stood upright behind the old man, with expressions as firm as the granite hills.
Stone statue.
Watanabe Shimota recognized the old man's figure at a glance. Looking at the old man's body as straight as possible, Watanabe Shimomo suddenly bowed deeply. However, Lu Qingliu just turned sideways and let him pass.
This bow.
"I think this is Mr. Lu Qingliu, General of the Army of the Eastern Japanese Dynasty Watanabe Shimota to pay my respects." Watanabe Shimogong said with another neat bow.
"No, I can't stand your courtesy." Lu Qingliu said coldly.
"Haka!" Watanabe Shimo's deputy general Shiro Kusanagi shouted loudly. There were not only Towa soldiers here, but also the Zhu Zhao tribe of the Holy Sect of Paradise. The majesty of Towa could not be compromised by the old man like this.
Lu Qingliu just glanced at Shiro Kusanagi with contempt, then turned to look at Watanabe Shimo in front of him, and then said arrogantly: "Your Excellency, this must be the Japanese pirate!"
"You!" Watanabe Shimo's expression changed, but after all, his self-cultivation was not comparable to that of Shirou Kusanagi. Although he was angry in his heart, he still said politely: "Old sir, you misunderstood, we are the Eastern Japanese Dynasty.
The soldiers are not Japanese pirates."
"Soldiers? Then they are Japanese pirates. When you enter, you become a soldier, and when you leave, you become a bandit. What's the difference?" Lu Qingliu said coldly.
Watanabe Shimo's face felt hot, but he said: "Japanese pirates are the Qingfeng royal family's slander against our Eastern Japanese warriors. I, the Eastern Japanese, are strict in running the army, how can we describe them as pirates?"
"Ruling the army rigorously? Haha! You Dongbo have always been rampant in the East China Sea and committed all kinds of evil. Recently, after landing in Jiangnan, you even burned, killed, looted, and tortured. Is this called being rigorous in running the army?" The old man laughed and said, but his eyes were full of contempt and contempt.
.
Watanabe Shimomo naturally knew the virtues of his subordinates, but he naturally could not admit it under such circumstances, so he quibbled and said: "Old sir, the two countries are at war now, and it is inevitable that the war will spread and cause accidental injuries.
"
Lu Qingliu raised his head slightly: "Accidental attack? Then the millions of people you killed and plundered on my land in China were all accidental injuries? It only took five days for your Dongbo to land on Jiangnan Road, but it took five days.
Time, millions of people died tragically under your butcher knives, countless women were insulted by you, and the wealth accumulated by our country for hundreds of years was looted and burned by you. Are these all accidental injuries? Your Excellency, look at it.
What you have been doing these days are still based on the art of human relations? Do you still know about moral integrity? When I call you a beast, I am afraid of insulting the nature of the beast. You are worse than a beast!"
"You!" Watanabe Shimo couldn't help but put his right hand on the command knife.
"Isn't it true? Your Excellency, take a closer look at your Eastern Japanese clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the Eastern Japanese language and customs. Are there any of them that do not bear the imprint of our Celestial Dynasty? Since you know me, Mr. Lu, you must also know the history of my Celestial Dynasty.
Think about how our country treated you during the heyday of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Have you ever failed to behave politely, and have you relied on the strong to bully the weak? Every time there was a natural or man-made disaster in the East, our country would do our best to support you. But now, you, Dong
The Japanese actually took advantage of the weakness of our dynasty to not only plunder our dynasty's cultural relics and wealth, but also commit cruelty and murder. The three thousand miles of coastline of the East China Sea were all reduced to ruins, and 20 million people on both sides suffered from the destruction of their country and their families.
Disaster. Hundreds of years of accumulation in our country have been burned down for you. Is your behavior still based on human relations? Your actions not only chilled the hearts of the people of our country, but also left an indelible legacy for future generations.
The root of the disaster! Have you forgotten that we are friendly countries separated by a strip of water? But what you have done today has completely slaughtered our virtuous friendly countries like cattle and sheep. There are hundreds of millions of people in our dynasty.
Have you finished killing?"
"The Eastern Japanese Dynasty only has an area of 800 miles, a population of only 6 million, and a history of only 500 years. However, our dynasty is thousands of miles wide and has hundreds of millions of people. It has been thousands of years since Emperor Xuanyuan rose in the wilderness.
I think that the iron cavalry of our Celestial Empire once traveled across the entire continent, and our civilization of China has been leading the entire era. Such a glorious civilization, such an ancient country, such a great nation, how can it be a group of Japanese pirates on the East China Sea?
What can be compared? Your Excellency can take advantage of our clan's weakness today to show off your power for a while. But your Excellency, please don't forget that our dynasty also had its prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties! Although our dynasty pays attention to treating people with kindness and repaying evil with kindness, but 20 million
We, the people of China, swear not to forget the blood feud of our people! One day, our country, China, will surely rise again. When that day comes, even if you are alone overseas, our dynasty will crush them to pieces. The blood of the people of China will definitely be shed.
It will not be in vain, and the backbone of our Chinese people will never be bent against foreigners. Today's disaster for our Shigu is just that the whole court is burned down, but have you ever seen half of the people of China who are groveling?"
Looking at Watanabe Shimomo's increasingly ugly expression and Zhu Zhao's flushed face, the old man just laughed, raised his crutch, pointed at Watanabe Shimomo opposite and said: "Japanese pirate, please remember this.
Yes, murderers will always be killed. The thousand-year prestige of the great celestial dynasty must not be violated, and the lives of millions of people will not be buried innocently. When our country rises again, it will be the time when your Eastern Japanese tribe will be destroyed.
Anyone who offends our heavenly power will be punished no matter how hard we search the world. Anyone who insults our heavenly reputation will be punished with the full force of his life!"
After saying that, the old man ignored the blue-faced Watanabe Shimo and others, but walked straight into the gate of the academy, and then the raging fire immediately engulfed the old man's figure. At this time, the man who was originally standing behind him
Hundreds of Confucian scholars followed in without hesitation. They would rather die than dishonor the integrity of the people of the Celestial Dynasty. Phoenix Nirvana, reborn from the ashes. This is the case in China now. If China still lacks a fire
, then they are willing to burn their lives.
Watanabe Shimo and the Japanese soldiers behind him stared at everything in front of them with their mouths open. They really could not understand the actions of the people at Shigu Academy. In their view, the winner was the king and the loser was the enemy. Victory requires
Showing off one's power and taking whatever one asks for, ### plundering, burning, killing and looting is the best way to show your achievements. When you fail, you should surrender at the feet of the strong, even if you are a dog. As for the performance of Lu Qingliu and others
The backbone that comes out is really far away from them.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhao of the Holy Sect of Paradise suddenly blurred his eyes with tears. The words "nationality" and "integrity" that had been deposited in the depths of his mind suddenly appeared in his heart. Looking at the tall archway of the academy
As well as the raging fire that has spread to the entire Shigu Mountain, Zhu Zhao seemed to hear the passionate call of the Celestial Dynasty that had been silent for hundreds of years, saw the unfailing banner that traveled across the entire continent, and felt what a Chinese people should have
Pride and dignity, suddenly, he even had the urge to kneel down.
However, he also understood that he had no way to turn back now. When he followed the leader and military advisor to raise the flag on Yangzhou Road, he had already set out on a road of no return, becoming a king and losing a bandit. He, Minghui, Ping
Lang, Yan Lege, it’s not that they don’t love this nation, it’s not that they don’t love this land. When the warriors of the Eastern Japan were looting and killing here, he also felt sad, angry and impulsive, but in the end he had to lower himself.
With his head held high, he has no way to turn back.
While everyone in Shigu Academy was burning down, the Jiangzhou Defense War was also going on vigorously. In fact, the Jiangzhou Defense War was not that long, only nine days. This is certainly different from the Jiangnan City.
Most of them are easy to attack and difficult to defend, but the most important thing is the gap in military strength and combat effectiveness. Faced with the siege of 150,000 Eastern Japanese soldiers from the Eastern Japanese Watanabe and 100,000 Eastern Japanese soldiers from Ji Le Zhu Zhao, the commander of the Jiangnan Road garrison, Guan Peide, is
They refused to give in. And the more than two million people in Jiangzhou City also enthusiastically supported it at this time. After nine days, all 80,000 garrison troops, including the commander Guan Peide, were martyred in the city. Guan Peide was even ordered by the angry Watanabe Shimomo
He was cut into eight pieces and his bones were hung on the eight gates of Jiangzhou City for public display.
During these nine days, at least 200,000 Jiangzhou men died on the city wall. After the city was breached, tens of thousands of women had no choice but to commit suicide to preserve their chastity. However, Jiangzhou City's
The resolute resistance also caused great damage to the Eastern Japanese Jiraku Allied Forces. 150,000 Eastern Japanese soldiers participated in the Battle of Jiangzhou, but in the end only 80,000 soldiers were able to retreat from the battlefield, and many of them were seriously injured.
Watanabe Shimota himself even lost an ear to one of his soldiers during the battle. Zhu Zhao's situation was slightly better, but the number of soldiers killed in the battle was still as high as 30,000. When the battle was at its fiercest, Watanabe Shimota even suspected
Is it worthwhile for him to continue attacking like this, and can he bear such a huge loss? However, he finally had the last laugh, but this was only after Kato Takashi's navy was mobilized and used as an army.
city wall.
Watanabe Shimo, who had never suffered such a huge loss, was naturally furious. Coupled with the insult he suffered at Shigu Academy that day, he habitually chose massacre as a means of venting his anger. After the bloodbath of Jiangzhou City
, the Eastern Japanese and Ji Le coalition forces, which had lost control rationally, automatically expanded the scope of their looting and killing to the entire Jiangnan Road.
Therefore, due to the inability of the Qingfeng royal family, the inaction of the Song family on Yizhou Road, the sorrow and indignation of Jingnan Duke Ouyang Jingzhong, and the reach of Hetao Haotian, Jiangnan Road completely became a place for the Eastern Japanese soldiers and the Holy Sect of Paradise.
The soldiers vented their hell on earth. Every day, every minute, robbery, arson and endless killing and looting were happening on the land of Jiangnan Road. The fifteen million people on Jiangnan Road,
The three hundred years of hard work accumulated by the Qingfeng Empire were all wiped out by the combined efforts of the Eastern Japanese and the Holy Sect of Paradise.
