After rebirth, I became a national teacher

"Japanese pirates alert!"

"Japanese pirates alert!"

In Yangfeng Town at the foot of Cihang Temple Mountain, two yamen runners were riding horses, beating drums and gongs and shouting loudly as they galloped towards the notice board in the center of the town.

Wu Sanjin, a vendor selling steamed buns, felt suddenly nervous. There was nothing more terrifying than the Japanese pirates.

Over the years, warnings of Japanese pirates have occurred frequently, and almost every time they were successful.

But for him, he must know the exact news first every time to feel at ease.

Leaving his stall behind, he followed the detectives' horses and ran to the notice board in the town center.

There are many people like Wu Sanjin.

Hundreds of townspeople soon gathered at the notice board.

"Are the Japanese pirates here? What's going on?"

The crowd raised questions noisily.

Someone who could read read the contents of the notice aloud to everyone.

Five days ago, many villages and towns in Zhenjiang Prefecture were attacked by Japanese pirates. So according to the dynasty's anti-Japanese strategy, the government had to issue anti-Japanese pirate warnings to all towns and villages within a radius of 200 miles.

After learning the content, the two young people from other places immediately lost interest:

"That's it! I thought the Japanese pirates were coming to Yangfeng Town!"

"How is it possible? Those pirates are not stupid. This is the secondary capital. How dare they invade us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard:

"Where did this ignorant young man come from to talk nonsense here?"

"Shut up, you know-nothing bastard!"

People around cast unfriendly glances at him.

Someone said angrily:

"You two are obviously not locals. Do you think you are safe in the temporary capital? More than 10 years ago, a group of Japanese pirates came to Anqing Gate!"

"My two younger sisters were captured at the time, and we don't know whether they are alive or dead now..."

"Many people died in the town at that time. After the Japanese pirates retreated, almost every family held a funeral..."

"My cousin's wife was eight months pregnant at the time, but those bastards cut open her belly for fun. My cousin wanted to fight them to death, so he had his hands and feet chopped off and turned into a human pig..."

Wu Sanjin was also very angry.

These outsiders had no idea how much damage the Japanese pirates had caused to this small town.

Although more than ten years have passed since the incident, Wu Sanjin has grown from a ten-year-old boy to a father of two children, but he still often dreams about the situation back then in his nightmares.

The group of demons suddenly appeared in the town, blocked several entrances and exits, slaughtered people in densely populated areas, and then looted property from house to house.

He was not satisfied with what he had looted from several wealthy families, so he tortured them on the spot, cutting off their fingers, ears, and eyes. Even now, his hair stands on end when he thinks of their screams.

At night, this group of beasts raped and killed people in cruel ways in the town for fun. When they left the next day, they also abducted many young girls and young women.

That night, the whole town was filled with the smell of blood. The next day, every household hung funeral rites and cried bitterly.

He saw with his own eyes that his father was tied to a wooden stake in the center of the town by the Japanese pirates because of a rude look in his eyes. The pirates cut his flesh for fun. He was cut hundreds of times and screamed for half the night before he died.

He would never forget the fear and despair he felt at that time.

He hated the Japanese pirates and was even more afraid of them.

As ordinary people, they had no means to fight against the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates were elusive and fierce in combat. As ordinary people, they were not allowed to carry weapons and were unarmed. They were easily defeated when they encountered these battle-hardened bandits.

It's like a flock of sheep encountering a pack of wolves, with no ability to fight back.

Even the officers and soldiers were helpless against the Japanese pirates.

Either they couldn't find the Japanese pirates at all and could only arrive at the scene after they had been robbed somewhere. Even if they were lucky enough to catch them red-handed, they would have to pay an extremely heavy price to leave some lives behind.
