Lu Li’s farming process is still in an orderly manner.

Under the leadership of a group of agricultural experts, all the lands in Lujiazhuang and Jinshanwei have completed spring plowing, and the extensive planting of new crops will surely usher in a bumper harvest in autumn.

However... the threat of changing fields to mulberry is already in front of you.

In mid-May, County Magistrate Yuan informed that the new Huating magistrate Zhang Zhiliang had rushed from Huguang to Huating to perform his duties and would take office at the end of the month.

This news made Lu Li nervous and made all kinds of preparations, even preparing to kill Zhang Zhiliang.

Large fields in Lujiazhuang and Jinshanwei have been planted with new crops and are growing very lushly. This great situation will definitely not be allowed to be destroyed by anyone.

So Lu Li expanded this period to a military training team of 100 people, divided it into ten shifts, took turns patrolling all the passages in Lujiazhuang, and prepared to fight with force.

Until early June, Lu Li was going to take the "Academic Examination" and when he was taking the "scholar" title, he suddenly heard an amazing news.

The new magistrate Zhang Zhiliang, who is about to take office, is dead!

Not killed by Lu Li!

Although Lu Li wanted to do it, he had not had time yet!

This is done by the Japanese pirates!

In late May of the 40th year of Jiajing, Japanese pirates robbed Yutou, Shatang, Chenkeng, Shijun and other places. Wan Minying, the deputy commander of the patrol, led his troops to attack and fought against the pirates at Shijun. The official army was defeated and more than 500 people were killed. Japanese pirates burned and plundered Qingyang and other places.

This Zhang Zhiliang is so desperate that he is in Qingyang.

Isn't it enough to come to Huating from Huguang to take a boat and go down the Yangtze River along the river? Why do you have to go to Qingyang in southern Anhui to get ashore?

You go ashore and run away. You are so scared that you fall into the water and drown. What is this?

Of course, Lu Li was very happy about this.

Without this disaster, Huating County's policy of changing fields to mulberry will be postponed again. As he drags on, Ge Lao Yan will step down next year.

This Japanese pirate attack had a great impact.

Compared with the last small-scale invasion of twenty-three Japanese pirates, this time they killed the Japanese pirates ashore and swept across southern Anhui and northern Jiangsu, there were thousands of people.

Such a large number of Japanese pirates have scared the prefectures in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui to the point of being disgusted.

Songjiang Prefecture was also very scared. The prefect Ma Mingyuan quickly ordered Baoshan Guards, Kunshan Guards and Jinshan Guards to immediately send troops north to prevent the Japanese pirates from entering the country.

Liu Bin, the commander of Jinshan Guard, cooperated very well. He pieced together three hundred soldiers with uniform armor, swords and guns, and asked Qianhu Tong Zhilin to take them out.

Baoshan Guards and Kunshan Guards, one sent more than 100 beggar soldiers, and the other sent more than 200 soldiers who were not even as good as beggars.

Such a "magnificent" army... Once in a battle, it should be defeated and fled in sight, without any need to fight.

Of course, the prefect Ma Mingyuan didn't know the details and would not care about such "small things". He had more important things to do!

The "college examination" of students from Songjiang Prefecture is about to begin. Compared with Qiu Ba's debacle, this kind of cultural event is the focus of Ma Mingyuan's prefect.

On June 14, the third "College Examination" of Songjiang Prefecture Children's Examination officially started.

This exam determines whether you can get the reputation of a scholar, so Lu Li naturally has to take the exam.

There is no need to repeat the exam process, the same routine as the county exam.

Search and enter the venue, get the license plate, enter the account room, distribute the test papers, and start the exam!

In this exam, Lu Li did not encounter the eight-legged essays that he had read in later generations. He could not copy them, so he could only use his brain to write them himself.

The test questions are a bit perverted, which is the so-called "interrogation question", or the "ruthless" that does not match the preface and the latter.

The title is: "Everyone is elegant, and Mr. Ye asked Confucius about Zilu".

"All of elegant words" is the second half of the sentence "The elegant words of Zi, poetry, calligraphy and etiquette, are all elegant words" in "The Analects of Confucius-Shuer";

"Ye Gong asked Confucius about Zilu" comes from the first sentence "The Analects of Confucius-Shuer" "Ye Gong asked Confucius about Zilu. Zilu was wrong. Confucius said: "What the daughter said, "He is a human being. He is so angry that he forgets food, and he is happy to forget his worries, and he does not know that the old man is coming."

This kind of topic that has no logical connection and no relationship between each other is called "a ruthless question in the chapter".

Fortunately, Lu Li has a very extraordinary memory and immediately thought of the source of these two sentences. Otherwise, he would not understand what the hell is.

The college entrance examination will be completed and the results will be announced three days later.

Lu Li... is famous on the list and finally won the title of scholar, which is considered to be a "junior high school graduate"!

Don’t think that scholars are very crappy. This is a well-known diploma and is already qualified to “don’t kneel when you meet an official”.

The initial goal has finally been achieved!

Lu Li nodded with a smile, stayed in an inn in Songjiang Mansion City with peace of mind, and prepared to return to Lujiazhuang tomorrow.

That night, Lu Li suddenly heard a noise outside.

"Young Master, something happened!"

The call of servants sounded at the door.

"What's going on?"

Lu Liheyi rose up, walked to the door, and reached out to open the door.

Outside the door stood a servant wearing a black suit and a revolver.

This servant was one of the twenty "official officers" brought out by Lu Li himself, named Sun Ding.

Seeing Lu Li go out, Sun Ding, a servant, quickly reported: "The Japanese pirates attacked Songjiang Mansion and the official army was defeated. The defeated soldiers fled outside the city. The city gate was closed, and the defeated soldiers wanted to enter the city and were shouting and scolding."

"Why is the city in chaos?"

The defeated soldiers did not enter the city, and they didn't even see the shadow of the Japanese pirates. The city was in panic. What's the matter?

"Some people are spreading rumors that the Japanese pirates are about to attack the city, and now people are panic everywhere in the city!"

Sun Ding glanced at Lu Li and said, "Young Master, have you sent a signal to inform the Lujiazhuang headquarters to strengthen its vigilance?"

"Send a signal, red signal flare, first-level alert!"

If the Japanese pirates really enter Songjiang Prefecture, then it is necessary to ensure that the base camp of Lujiazhuang will not be destroyed by the Japanese pirates.

"yes!"

Sun Ding quickly stood at attention, saluted Lu Li, and turned to make arrangements.

A moment later, a signal flare rushed into the air, and the brilliant fireworks burst out red lights.

Huating County is very close to Songjiang Prefecture.

After the firework rushed to the sky, a squad near Huating County that was carrying out patrol and reconnaissance missions saw the red fireworks soaring into the sky.

"Red signal flare!"

When the squad leader saw this signal flare, his face changed drastically, "Send a message and warn! If there is an enemy attack, first-level alert!"

The next moment, the squad leader took out a signal flare and lit it, setting off another firework to warn Lujiazhuang headquarters.

"Foreign enemies are invading, and the young master is still in the capital."

After setting off the fireworks, the squad leader ordered to the soldiers under his command: "Everyone, check the ammunition!"

"The pistol ammunition is full, and the rifle ammunition is fifty rounds."

"Twenty-five pistols, forty-five rifles!"

The entire class of soldiers immediately reported the amount of ammunition.

"Fucheng direction, approach the investigation! Let's go and pick up the young master. Action!"

The squad leader waved his hand, and along with the deputy squad leader, a total of twelve people rushed towards the direction of the city.

Lujiazhuang.

After seeing the signal flare warning, the three squads who were active outside quickly returned to Lujiazhuang and guarded the important roads in Lujiazhuang with the five left-behind squads.

Songjiang Prefecture City.

Lu Li had already gathered a squad of soldiers whom he was with him.

Because they came to Fucheng to take the exam, these soldiers were only equipped with revolvers and their rifles were also installed on special carriages.

"Sun Ding, distribute the rifles, fully armed!"

Lu Li ordered to squad leader Sun Ding.

"yes!"

Sun Ding quickly took the order and took the soldiers to the side of the special carriage parked in the yard, opened the carriage made of steel plates, and distributed guns and ammunition to everyone.

Wearing an armed belt and carrying a rifle, the soldiers hung leather ammunition bags filled with paper shell bullets on the armed belt and completely armed them.

"Come with me! Let's go to the city gate to take a look!"

Lu Li got on the steel plate bulletproof carriage and asked Sun Ding to drive. He followed a dozen fully armed soldiers and walked towards the city gate.

After a while, Lu Li arrived at the city gate.

At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers were blocked at the city gate. A garrison officer stood on the gate tower and shouted at the defeated soldiers below: "After the city gate is locked, the door must not be opened. What a fool you can scream! If you shout, you must not open the door tomorrow morning."

There were cries and scolding outside the city gate, such as "The Japanese pirates are coming", "Help", and "I'll kill you if I don't open the door" and so on.

When Lu Li brought a squad of soldiers to the city gate, he was stopped by the guards.
