The night shrouded Ryukyu and Naha, the number one port in East Asia, completely fell into a collective anxiety tonight.

The port has been blocked, and sentries have been installed on the streets entering and leaving the city. Although all entertainment and leisure places are not closed, there are police guarding the gates, and no one knows what they are guarding.

There were militia and police teams patrolling on the streets. They rarely abandoned rattan cards and short sticks and equipped them with various rifles eliminated by the military. The bright bayonets reflected the gas lights, shining and dazzling.

Ryukyu is completely under half a curfew at this moment. After six o'clock in the evening, the people will return to their respective neighborhoods and only move in limited areas.

You can go to drink and eat, or go to tea and chat, and no one cares about you when you go to theaters and brothels, but everything must be in the neighborhood where you live, which means that your face must be well-known to the police and militia. If you move across blocks and let the police who are not familiar with you see it, it will be a little trouble.

The half-curve order was officially issued by Wang Huaiyuan at 9:00 a.m. The order had just spread in the city, and the hearts of the people were already in their throats. Many people who knew the tricks whispered to each other.

"The war must have started, it must have started. Otherwise, there would be no curfew. This is to prevent enemy spies from leaking news..."

"Then why not just ban people from going out? Tell me, this big brother!"

"Of course, we can't just curfew! There are more than 600,000 people in Naba City, so we are not allowed to eat, drink, defecate and urinate? All of them are blocked from curfew, so we don't have to starve to death..."

"And this is also a way to stabilize people's hearts. All curfews will make the people inexplicably nervous. If this person is nervous, he will easily think about it. At that time, there may be rumors spread everywhere. Have you forgotten when the French attacked Ryukyu? We just suffered the loss of rumors..."

People suddenly realized that when the French fleet shelled Naba, they all seemed to be a different world.

An elder in the crowd sighed, "Yes! Ten French wooden warships were able to block Naba Bay and bombard Naba Bay. At that time, except for the Shuri Fort, which was also a little dangerous to the enemy, the other forts could not suppress the French at all..."

"That person died! Wuyang Wuyang... Why is there a bronze statue of a mother protecting her youngest son outside the shop of Boss Mi? That is the mother and son who were trampled to death in the rice robbery incident that year! It's really a sin!"

The statue of a loving mother protecting her son was personally ordered by Xiao Letian to cast it. It was cast at the location of the tragedy at that time. At that time, French warships and Qing dynasties made a serious crime under the instigation of Gong Banlun's vicious plan.

They attacked the grain warehouse, released fake news about the death of the prime minister, and posted rumors about the shortage of supplies... All kinds of vicious strategies caused the newly independent Ryukyu Kingdom to fall into turmoil. At that time, even King Shangtai personally went out of the palace to comfort the people's hearts, but the effect was not good.

Mi Fu, Boss Mi! Now the second largest merchant in East Asia’s grain trusts was just an ordinary merchant who dominated Ryukyu at that time.

His grain shop was robbed by the people. Of course, there were many spies in the crowd, and the responsibility was not entirely on the people. But the final looting and trampling were still the sins committed by the people.

In that stampede incident, a mother and son were trampled into flesh paste, and countless injured people.

After the war, Xiao Letian, who was sad and angry, paid a lot of money to invite an Italian sculptor, and used this story to cast this bronze statue on the street outside Mi Fu's shop. His expression was twisted and his exaggerated torso was bent, and his mother protected the young son under his body.

The frightened child seemed to have seen the god of death waving to him, but the child's eyes were staring at his mother's face. His little man subconsciously grabbed his mother's chest, as if he wanted to take a sip of milk before he died.

The sculptor's skills are simply superb. The child's expressions and eyes contain fear of death, as well as absolute trust and security in his mother. The child seems to know that the danger is approaching, but the child naturally believes that as long as he is in the mother's arms, he is the safest in the world and nothing can hurt him.

The mother's expression was even more meticulous. She was already desperate, surrounded by big feet trampling over her. She knew she could not escape, and he and her son were about to die here.

But before her death, the mother also needs to protect the child, not only protecting his body, but also protecting his soul. Therefore, the mother also needs to smile, and she wants to give her son a sense of security before her death with a smile.

If you are destined to die here, the mother also hopes that her son will leave the world in that sense of security, and don’t be afraid that her mother will be there.

After the statue was shaped, almost everyone who experienced the trampling incident cried bitterly, and some even wanted to apologize for death! Who can bear the condemnation that impacted the human soul? The purest feelings of human beings, the mother-son love, were like a whip, whipping in the depths of everyone's soul.

At the bottom of the sculpture is engraved with a sentence that Xiao Letian said, "In the snow disaster, every snowflake thinks he is innocent!"

The elder wiped his tears. Since the topic talked about the statue of a loving mother protecting her son, it has become extremely depressed and dull. People's hearts are like a big stone blocking, and they can't spit it out or swallow it.

At this time, a boy in a high school uniform suddenly walked up to everyone. He said seriously, "It is because we Chinese have experienced countless hardships that we are becoming stronger and stronger..."

"I remember that the ten French sail battleships, the old-fashioned wooden shell battleships, could have caused chaos in our Ryukyu, and countless casualties were killed or injured, and even a tragedy that caused oneself to hurt oneself..."

"But what about today? The Russian Expeditionary Force has dozens of the most advanced armored warships with more than 30,000 troops, but they dare not approach our city... They actually hid from us!"

"Why is this? It's because we are strong and we scare the enemy!"

"Instead of immersing in the grief of the past, it is better to think about what we should do! Thousands of French troops forced us to martial law in the whole city, but now 30,000 Russian warships are only in exchange for our limited curfew. Why is that?"

"This is because our Chinese people are not only powerful in their hands, but also in their hearts! We are no longer the loose sand in the past that only knows selfishness and only knows how to protect our small family's interests!"
