Wu Zhong felt that the Beihai soldiers were acting like this, but Wang Yuanfang was very dissatisfied when he saw the gathering of new soldiers.
The movement is too slow, procrastinating! The queue is not organized and the counting is messy!
In fact, after being recruited, these new recruits, composed of Daur and Evenki people, only underwent simple queue training and made them familiar with some simple passwords. The reason why we rushed to send them over was mainly because we were worried that the water in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River would freeze, making it difficult to sail.
"Take a break and stand at attention!" Wang Yuanfang glanced over and said in a deep voice: "I have something to announce to everyone..."
Because the recruits' Mandarin skills were not good enough, the training team had to have a translator who could speak Manchu. Wang Yuanfang said a paragraph, and the translator explained it again in Manchu.
Wu Zhongze took advantage of Wang Yuanfang's speech and carefully scanned the more than two hundred recruits in front of him. He noticed that each of these people looked powerful, with very thick arms and legs, and they had bow-legged features.
Wang Yuanfang had introduced to him before that these recruits had grown up on horses since childhood and were good at riding and shooting. Almost everyone could easily pull a ten-power hard bow. If they go to the battlefield, they are already considered elite soldiers.
Wu Zhongxin said that this was not enough, what kind of soldier did Mr. Wang want to train?
To put it simply, in the Qing Dynasty, the pulling force of a bow was calculated by force. One force was nine pounds and forty taels (that is, 9.25 pounds, one pound and sixteen ounces in ancient times). After conversion, it was 11 pounds in later generations, which is about 12 pounds. The martial arts examination in the Qing Dynasty required three skills for riding and shooting, and five skills for infantry and archery. As for actual shooting bows used in combat, they are basically in the range of 40 pounds to 160 pounds.
For example, the bow Kangxi used when he was young was an eleven-power birch bow, which was 132 pounds. Fierce men like Hai Lancha and Yang Yuchun both use heavy bows weighing 140 pounds, which are nearly twelve powerful.
However, if according to the "History of the Song Dynasty", Yue Fei used a 300-pound bow, then based on the calculation that one pound is equal to 625 grams in the early Southern Song Dynasty, it is 412 pounds after conversion. In addition to using steel as the bow arm, this thing is probably made of wood. I can’t bear it, it’s absolutely super fierce!
Wen Dai, who was standing in the team, was sweating profusely. His scalp was stung by the brim of his sweat-soaked hat and was sore and itchy, but he didn't dare to scratch it with his hands. Wen Dai had been in the military camp for several days, and he felt that the worst thing about the Bei Navy was that they had to report everything they did when standing in line. If the officers of the training team found out that they were talking or moving without reporting the matter, they would kick them hard, and then they would run in circles or stand up twenty times as punishment.
Within a few days of his arrival, he had already been fined no less than ten times. He is a close friend of Rapini, who has been punished more often. The most common mistake he makes is talking in the queue, and there is no way to open his mouth.
The recruits were surprised when they saw an old man in strange clothes standing behind the chief instructor. However, their eyes widened when Wang Yuanfang announced that this "Master Meng" would be the new recruits' boxing master. Just such a wizened old man as our boxing coach?
Rapini couldn't help it anymore. He clenched his fist unconsciously and muttered: "I can knock him down with one punch."
Wen Dai also felt that this old man was unreliable, so he said casually: "I can do it too."
"Who's talking! Stand up!" Wang Yuanfang suddenly roared, startling everyone.
The captain of the teaching team pointed at Wen Dai and Rapini and said, "You two, get out of the queue!"
Wen Dai thought it was time to finish, and he was probably going to run around again this time.
After the two came out of the queue, the captain glared at them and asked them to stand aside without saying anything about running in circles. So Wen Dai and Rapini stood outside the queue like a public demonstration. At this time, many recruits had smiles on their faces...
This is so embarrassing! Wen Dai's face immediately turned red, and his bronze cheeks almost turned into black coal.
After Wang Yuanfang finished speaking, he asked Wu Zhong to say a few words to everyone. Mr. Wu waved his hand, he didn't know how to do this. He had just noticed that these recruits looked at him with disdain, and no one took him seriously.
And when he saw the expressions on the faces of the two recruits who were forced to stand, he decided to show off his hand to shock them. So he whispered a few words to Wang Yuanfang. Wang Yuanfang immediately agreed and called for an interpreter to speak.
"Huh? You want us to beat him together? Will we win if we beat him?"
"Yes, instructor Meng said, you can use your fists or feet. If you touch him, you win."
Hey~~This old man has such a loud voice! Rapini has been holding back her anger from being punished these days, and she has nowhere to vent her anger. He rolled his eyes and said to the translator: "Then if we win, will we not be punished this time?"
Wang Yuanfang then laughed and said: "Okay! I'll make the decision this time. If you two win, you won't be punished for violating discipline this time. But if you lose, the punishment will be doubled!"
So, under the gaze of everyone around them, Rapini and Wen Dai stood opposite Wu Zhong, one on the left and the other on the right. Wen Dai cupped his fists and said to Wu Zhong: "Old man, I see that you are about the same age as Mafa. If you can't catch it, don't hold on."
Wu Zhong listened to the translation and said with a smile: "Young students, use as much strength as you can. If you meet me, you will win."
When Rapini heard this, he became even more angry and shook his head at Wen Dai, which meant that he would come first. He rolled up his sleeves, strode forward, rushed to less than one step in front of Wu Zhong, raised his fist and hit the opponent on the shoulder. However, before his fist could touch Wu Zhong's clothes, the old man disappeared in front of his eyes.
"Young man, don't use so much force, be careful to hurt yourself." Rapini looked back and saw that the old man ran behind him for some reason and was saying with a smile.
Except for Wang Yuanfang, no one else present could see clearly how Wu Zhong got behind Rapini. And Wang Yuanfang just felt that the old man ducked and swayed behind Rapini.
Coax~~This time, everyone was shocked!
As mentioned before, Wu Zhong was famous for his big guns when he was young. And if your marksmanship is good, your body skills must be good; Wu Zhong, who is nearly sixty years old, has reached a state of perfection in his physical skills.
According to later generations, in the early Qianlong period, the newly built gate of Miaoyan Temple in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, the lower courtyard of Shaolin Temple, contained mechanisms and buried wooden figures, wooden monkeys, bows, crossbows, knives and axes and many hidden weapons, making it difficult for people to guard against. Wu Zhong was known as "Wu Shenqiang" because he was able to attack alone with only one gun. According to other rumors, when he was young, Wu Zhong entered the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou, Fujian Province three times alone. He was famous for his outstanding martial arts skills.
The old Chinese martial arts have reached a very advanced level. Although they are not as amazing as the martial arts of later generations, the use of strength, movement, and movement has reached the pinnacle of human physical fitness.
For example, if you jump off a cliff and hit the ground as soon as possible, you can slap your hand on the stone wall and fly sideways without any problem. This skill is not a "light kung fu" that can only be practiced by jumping off cliffs every day. It requires practicing on a big pole and smoothing out the strength of the whole body on the pole. This is how it is "required".
As the saying goes, "The upper body is like the sky, the lower body is like the earth", what is imaginary is real, and what is real is imaginary. Tao follows nature, Tai Chi generates two rituals, yin and yang interchange, wonderful transformations are far-reaching, and power reaches the eight extremes!
Rapini punched the air, and when he heard Wu Zhong calling him from behind, he turned around, bared his teeth, shouted, opened his arms like a tiger, and hugged Wu Zhong's waist.
If you can't hit me, why can't you catch me? If it gets on your clothes, it’s a victory!
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhong called out softly, and in a whoosh, the person was gone again. Rapini couldn't control his strength, and fell to the ground like a dog eating shit.
"Young man, I told you to take it easy. Does it hurt from the fall?"
The onlookers were really dumbfounded. The old man just jumped over Rapini who was leaning towards him.
Rapini got up from the ground, his face flushed with anger, and shouted to Wen Dai, who was standing by, "Wen Dai! Don't just look around! Come on together!"
"Oh! Old Mafa, I'm sorry!" Wen Dai said as he opened his arms in a posture, staggering his hands back and forth, just like a hunter pouncing on a bear and hunting a deer, and pointed at Wu Zhong with a "swish" Cut off the hem of his clothes.
At this time, Rapini also quietly surrounded Wu Zhong from behind. When he saw Wen Dai taking action, he also attacked decisively. He lowered his body, thrust out his right foot, and kicked Wu Zhong's ankle. If I can’t reach it with my hands, I don’t believe that I can’t reach it with my feet!
Suddenly, Wu Zhong swayed and disappeared again. Rapini almost kicked Wen Dai on the wrist. Wen Dai was also a little angry at this time. The two of them were either in front or behind, or left and right, trying their best, grabbing and kicking, and soon they were exhausted and panting.
The officers in the training team were all dumbfounded, while the recruits cheered Wen Dai and Rapini loudly and pointed out the direction and means of attack.
In Wang Yuanfang's eyes, Wu Zhong was just like the dancing masters in later generations' ballroom dance competitions, leaping and turning, following the momentum, as fast as lightning. Not to mention the new recruits, it would definitely be difficult for him to replace himself. In the entire Beihai Navy, Chen Jishan may still have a chance.
"Ma, Ma, Mafa, we surrender, you old lady, you are so powerful!"
Ten minutes later, out of breath, Wen Dai sat down on the ground and extended his thumb towards Wu Zhong, who was a few steps away. Rapini, on the other hand, was like a big dog, squatting on the ground covered in sweat, sticking out his tongue and unable to speak.
At this time, the people watching suddenly burst into warm applause, and there were endless cheers and praises. Wu Zhong smiled slightly and said to Wen Dai, who was slumped on the ground: "Young student, get up quickly. The ground is cold and you will fall ill."
Two months later, when the recruits became relatively familiar with Wu Zhong, someone asked him, why didn't you take action at that time? Wouldn't it be enough to just make a few gestures and knock down Wen Dai and Rapini?
Wu Zhong's answer was: "My boxing is a life-threatening boxing. Once I use it, you will die or I will die. I will never leave any room."
The listeners were all shocked, and then they understood the meaning of Wang Yuanfang's invitation to this "Instructor Meng".
When they returned to Wang Yuanfang's office to rest after lunch, Wu Zhong told Wang Yuanfang that he required these recruits to stand on the pile for an hour every morning, and to stand for a month before talking about anything else.
The introductory skill of Bajiquan is Liangyi Zhuang, also called "baby-holding Zhuang". To put it bluntly, it is the squatting crotch pose while riding a horse. Wang Yuanfang couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this, thinking to himself, what's there to practice in this? Sauron's soldiers have been riding horses since they were young, and the squatting crotch position on horseback is not easy to master!
Wu Zhong saw Wang Yuanfang's doubts, so he explained: "This incident has a name, which is called 'holding a baby in your arms and holding a mountain'. Seeing that Mr. Wang is probably married at this age, I would like to ask you when you hold your child." What is it like?"
Wang Yuanfang was startled, and the teaching captain accompanying him said: "Master Meng, our leader hasn't gotten married yet."
Wu Zhong was a little surprised. He looked at Wang Yuanfang and he must be in his early thirties. Why didn't he get married yet? But there's no way to ask about this kind of thing, just in case someone has some hidden illness.
Wang Yuanfang thought for a moment, then stood up in a horse stance, clenched his fists under his armpits, and then looked at Wu Zhong. The Bajiquan he learned in the army were all fighting techniques and were quick-learned. He had no experience with Zhanzhuang at all.
Wu Zhong took a look and said, "Sir, please give me a punch to open my eyes."
"Hoo!" Wang Yuanfang punched out with his right fist, causing his clothes to make a sound.
"Haha, my lord, this punch is strong enough, but it's a pity that it doesn't have enough stamina. It's enough to hit people, but it may be difficult to kill the enemy in battle." After Wu Zhong said this, he immediately gave Wang Yuanfang instructions on how to stand.
"The arms are round, the left hand is an empty fist, the palm of the fist is facing down, and the mind is holding a baby that is not yet able to walk; the right hand is a palm, meaning to hold the baby's cheek. Who doesn't cherish his own flesh and blood, for fear of being bumped? , the whole body is trembling, as if walking on thin ice. The head is lifted up, the neck is pulled up, and the chest is lifted up, which means the sky is above the head; the crotch is loosened, the knees are squatted, and the feet are stepped down, which means the feet are stepping on the mountains and rivers..."
Wang Yuanfang, who had experience in killing enemies on the battlefield, immediately felt the difference after he followed Wu Zhong's instructions. Although he doesn't have children, it's okay to imagine. From head to toe, there is no part of the skin on the whole body that is not strained, and there is no pore that is not trembling with fear.
“It turns out that what I heard from people in the past, that martial arts can be practiced to the point where “hands are everywhere” is actually true!”
Wang Yuanfang decided that when Zhao Xin's child is born in two months, he must hold it once to experience what it means to "hold a baby" and what it means to be "round as a ball."
At this time, he was in the study room of Zhao Xin's house.
"Alas! Now you two are the only ones who still remember me." Zhao Xin, who occasionally had some free time, complained to A Miao while stroking Duofu lying on his lap.
"Madam, you are already eight months old. Besides, you are pregnant with a boy. Master, please bear with me. Alas~~" A Miao sat opposite Zhao Xin, holding her cheeks with both hands and looking at Zhao Xin, showing a rather sympathetic look. look like.
Even though "Prince Zhao" is loved everywhere when he goes out, he really has no status at home these past few months, so A Miao is the only one who still thinks about him.
In the first two days, this guy even sneaked to the elementary school to see what Wang Zhenyi was doing. Unexpectedly, Miss Wang was doing homework behind closed doors these days and had no time to talk to him. That is, Tang Xiao, when he saw Zhao Xin coming, he still had a look of resentment on his face, which made "Prince Zhao's" heart skip a beat.
It has been several years since I came to Beihai Town, and most of the girls from Yangzhou have their own goals, and some are preparing to get married. The people they chose were either mid- to high-level officers of the North Navy or clerks under Chen Qingsong of the Civil Affairs Department. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that these clerks may one day be promoted to be responsible for the civil affairs of a place; corresponding to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they are at least prefects.
And Tang Xiao, because it was Zhao Xin who pretended to buy it in the first place, he personally selected and evaluated it, but it turned out that the girl seemed to have found it right, and there was no one else in her eyes. When he first came here, Zhao Xin didn't take it seriously because he was only thirteen years old. He thought as a little girl, maybe things would get better in a few years. As a result, now that she is eighteen, she is still alone with her sister-in-law, but she has become more and more beautiful.
After finally getting rid of a Xue Wu, Ding Guofeng chased him, but in the end he provoked another Wang Zhenyi.
"One, two, three, four, it's a good thing I didn't provoke a big Yangma, otherwise I would be so stupid..."
A Miao heard Zhao Xin muttering, raised her head and asked, "What are you talking about? Do you want to eat roasted kidneys tonight?"
"Ah? What's so delicious about that thing? It's so delicious!"
"oh."
Since Shen Xuan went for a check-up in May and confirmed with B-ultrasound that she was pregnant with a boy, Zhao's mother and Zhao's father decided not to leave. After hearing about it, the Shen family finally felt relieved; Shen Jingdan and his wife, Mrs. Wu, couldn't wait to come over early in the morning to accompany their daughter every day, and didn't leave until seven or eight in the evening.
King Duofu is now almost the ancestor of cats in Beihai Town. In the first few years, Zhao Xin even brought over a few female cats to prevent him from getting lonely. As a result, within a few years, Duofu had children running around and gave birth to more than 20 offspring.
Yi Yi smiled and sighed across the desk for a long time. Zhao Xin was about to ask A Miao what she wanted to eat at night, when she heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Then Yin Bingwei walked in and saluted: "Sir, that person named Jiang Ziping Here he is, he said he made an appointment with you."
have to! After only half an hour of free time, something happened again. Zhao Xin nodded and asked Yin Bingwei to invite the people in.
A Miao got up to make tea. Zhao Xin picked up Duofu and put it on the stool next to him. Unexpectedly, Duofu didn't even bother with the stool, and jumped down, wagging his tail, to chase after A Miao.
