In July 1927, Tanaka, with the support of the Japanese government, intensified his efforts to gather troops on the other side of the Yalu River, built trenches, erected weapons, and assumed the posture of forcibly setting up a collar to deal with the demonstrations of the people of Linhai City. Within a few days, Tanaka Sakura increased his troops again, mobilizing two mountain guns, nine machine guns, and 2,500 military police, preparing to forcibly cross the river and set up a command.

The struggle of the people of Linhai County to resist the Japanese and establish a consulate is rapidly spreading to all parts of Northeast China, and various localities around Linhai County have expressed their solidarity and taken action one after another, setting up petition groups and support associations to support the anti-Japanese struggle of the officials and people of Linhai County. In August, Fengtian established the Provincial Commercial and Industrial Diplomatic Support Association for Resisting Japan and Linhai. In September, according to the decision of the Fengtian Support Association, a demonstration meeting was held in the city to reject Japan and set up a consulate in the sea.

The scale of the parade was unprecedented, causing a sensation in the provincial capital, and the impact was very widespread. The anti-Japanese struggle in the provincial capital of Mukden provoked even stronger repercussions throughout the northeast and quickly spread throughout the country. Cities in the northeast have set up diplomatic support associations and held demonstrations.

Immediately afterwards, the Shanghai Special City Business Association and the Shanghai Federation of Business Circles also issued statements one after another to support the struggle of the people of Linhai County to resist the Japanese and establish a territory. The major newspapers in China also published articles one after another, praising the patriotic spirit of the officials and people of Linhai County in their heroic struggle and fearless sacrifice, and condemning the aggressive acts of Japanese imperialism.

At this point, Linhai County's struggle against the Japanese establishment of a territory has entered a new stage. It has expanded from a county in Linhai County to the whole province of Fengtian, to the entire northeast, and to the whole country.

After hearing about this incident, the brothers Chen Benzhong and Chen Benyi decided to go to Linhai City to avoid Zhang Zuolin's arrest. There are two reasons, the first is that if the Japanese succeed, then Zhang Zuolin will not be able to search for them in the Japanese territory. Second, regardless of whether the Japanese succeed or not, Linhai County at this time is the focus of the whole country's attention, and no one would have thought that two people would run to such a place where people are concerned, and this trick is to go dark under the lights.

The two of them followed Zhang Zuolin's army all over the country, experienced countless wars, and the biggest wish of the two people at this time was how to avoid Zhang Zuolin's pursuit, and they didn't think so much about what happened after they arrived in Linhai County.

When the two of them rushed to Linhai County with their mother, it was already March 1928. At this time, the struggle against the Japanese in Linhai County had won a complete victory, and Tanaka had been ordered to quietly withdraw his troops and return home. The great tide of establishing a consulate in Linhai had just come to an end, and the officials and people of the entire Linhai County were immersed in the joy of the victory in the struggle to resist the Japanese and establish a consulate, and no one paid attention to these three outsiders.

The two brothers have followed their father to rob the tomb since they were children, they don't know what politics is, and they have experienced warlord wars and wars all year round, and their concept of the country is also very weak, but the brothers who just arrived here were shocked by the enthusiasm of the people of Linhai County and the atmosphere there. So the two brothers decided to stay here, the people here are very welcoming, the people here are very bloody, and it can't be wrong to live here.

After living here for a while, the brothers fell in love with Linhai County, which is rich in products, pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, like a paradise. But no one expected that the good times would not last long, and the three of them only lived a good life here for three years, and the 918 Incident broke out, and Japan completely occupied the three eastern provinces in just four months.

As a treasure land that the Japanese have long coveted, Linhai County naturally bore the brunt of the heavy defense by the Japanese army, and at the same time they opened forest farms and mines here, and a large number of timber, metal, iron ore, copper ore, coal and other resources were continuously plundered by the Japanese.

Mining naturally requires labor, and the two brothers were arrested in this way and "invited" by the Japanese to work in the iron ore mine in Dahetao Town. If you work, you naturally have to be paid, but the salary paid by the Japanese is a military stamp, which is not even hard to wipe your buttocks, and it is of no use at all.

Because he couldn't worry about his mother, Chen Benyi bribed the people who took care of the mine with the few pieces of ocean left on his body, and took his old mother to the mine to do some chores, cook for the workers, clean and clean, although this made his mother tired, but it was better than her being starved to death alone outside.

More than ten years have passed in a flash, and Big Walnut Town has changed from a ravine with only a few households to a small city. A large number of Japanese immigrants live here, and more than 90% of the entire town of Great Walnut is Japanese. The mother and son spent the most difficult ten years in the dormitory of the mine workers.

At this time, their mothers were in their sixties, and their fifth brother Chen Benzhong was almost thirty years old. Although Chen's mother's previous identity was a hostage, she has always been provided by Zhang Zuolin with good food and drink, and there are two maids waiting by her side, which can be regarded as clothes to stretch out her hand, and food to open her mouth, these ten years of inhuman days have made the old lady fall ill, and her body is not as good as day by day.

This year, the old lady had a serious illness, and she saw that the remaining days were not long. Her health deteriorated, making the two brothers anxious, but what could be done in a hurry? Everyone has the day to die, but the two brothers are unwilling to accept it.

The old lady's favorite food is dumplings, Chen's mother also knows that her time is short, lying on the hospital bed, she made a request to the two brothers, hoping to eat dumplings before she dies, she has not eaten for more than ten years.

If it were somewhere else, the two brothers would have been able to make this dumpling by smashing the pot and selling iron, but not here. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, rice, white flour, meat, sugar and other things became military supplies, which ordinary people could not buy even if they had money, not to mention that the two brothers had no money.

Not to mention dumplings, even the two brothers made of corn husk can only eat one during the festival, but they are reluctant to eat such a nest, they give their mother first, and after the mother is full, they carefully put away the rest of the nest, until the nest is about to be broken.

Chen's mother made such a seemingly simple request, but the brothers were at a loss. Chen Benzhong begged his brother several times, hoping that the two of them could join hands to rob a tomb, even if they took out a thing, and bribed the person who managed the mine with this thing, and got half a catty of white flour and half a catty of meat from him to make dumplings for the old lady.

But the second brother Chen Benyi said that he didn't agree with anything, and his father repeatedly instructed him before his death that he would never let the descendants of the Chen family rob the tomb again, Chen Benyi not only disagreed, but also scolded Chen Benzhong, saying that he had no conscience.

The two brothers quarreled a lot about this, and the gap between the two was created.
