When it comes to practicing spears, if you practice to the top, you can at most be like Wang Xiaoqiao and beat some ordinary people.
Facing a more armed and powerful master, he will still be injured and die, but that doesn't make much sense.
Things are back to the beginning.
Choose to improve your boxing skills.
Iron Fist is based on the real environment and is no longer appropriate.
It can guarantee strong attack power and defensive power, but it cannot guarantee that it can withstand bullet penetration and explosive bombing power.
If you are really tricked, you will not be much different from ordinary people.
Want to save myself.
The only thing that should be done most is mobility, that is, flexibility.
First of all, you have to make sure you hide fast enough so that others can't hit you before you even think about hitting them.
This is the most pragmatic approach.
And Yang Lin now only has plum blossom boxing, a martial art on hand, that can barely do this.
The ability to react in the face of ordinary people.
He can completely pass by without anyone noticing.
In front of the city gate, when facing Zhang Mingde, this was undoubtedly proved.
The opponent has dozens of elite soldiers and relatively advanced firearms in their hands.
But it’s no use.
If someone is close to you, you will not be able to control your life or death.
No matter how powerful the gun is, the bullets cannot be controlled by thoughts. It will take time to raise the gun and aim. I don't know how many times I will die by then.
If you practice Plum Blossom Boxing until your muscles and bones are in perfect harmony, and your leg strength and body speed can reach several levels faster, it will be the only asset to protect yourself and your life.
…
Zhou Hongyi (hereinafter referred to as Yang Lin) picked up the broom and cleaned his "dwelling" with Yun Niang himself. The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.
There are plums outside the house and pears in the courtyard.
There is water in front and mountains behind.
Environmentally speaking, they are indeed very satisfied.
Especially satisfied.
After years of traveling around, I am now determined to settle down and no longer care about the hardships of the world. The kind of relaxation that comes from the bottom of my heart makes people feel comfortable and peaceful.
The three apprentices were orphans picked up on the road.
The eldest is thirteen years old, his surname is Cai, and his name is Cai Guang.
He is twenty-one years old, his surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Ming.
Lao San is nine years old, his surname is Meng, and his given name is Meng De.
In addition, Aunt Yu, a purchased servant and cook, mainly takes care of Yun Niang and Xiao Ping'an's daily life, and is also responsible for the food of the family.
The family is simple, and if it doesn't get mixed up with a lot of troubles, it will definitely be able to live a good life.
With the wealth gained from these years of hard work and only focusing on expenses, Yang Lin felt that he would not be too worried for the rest of his life.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Yun Niang is still so gentle, but compared with when she was the proprietress of the Zeng family shop, her face has become more weathered, and there are also a few fish lines quietly added to the corners of her eyes.
In this era, the life of the people at the bottom is not good.
In Yang Lin's memory, after he and Yun Niang left the beach in Quanzhou, they did not lack food and clothing.
However, the uncertainty of life, as well as the disappointment and confusion about reality, still weakened the will and consumed a lot of energy.
As an accomplished martial arts master, he has maintained his body well.
Yun Niang is a little haggard.
Also looks a little older.
"I'm not leaving."
Yang Lin smiled and nodded.
He let out a long sigh.
"I originally thought that after coming to the Central Plains, I would find a peaceful and pure land. But I didn't expect that after traveling to so many places over the years, there is actually no difference at all."
"Yes, except for replacing the Japanese pirates with officials and turning the open robbery into a secret conspiracy, it is still essentially dark."
Yun Niang sighed.
After thinking about it, I had some questions: "Brother Xu said that he wanted to make you the Grand Governor and share the wealth. Why didn't you agree at that time?"
She asked this question, but there was no regret on Yun Niang's face, but she was extremely happy.
"Exactly what you thought."
Yang Lin smiled to himself: "Xu Song's talent and learning are indeed extraordinary, and he has always had great ambitions. However, after all, he comes from a good family and gathers people's hearts with his faith, and he does not know how to do practical things in a down-to-earth manner...
He has always wanted to do something big and made me the governor, but he only took a fancy to my ability to kill people and wanted to fight for him. In this case, why bother to agree. "
"Then there's no need to leave overnight."
"I'm afraid that if I walk slowly, I won't be able to walk..."
A hint of coldness flashed in the corner of Yang Lin's eyes.
Ever since Xu Song led his men to tie red scarves and call themselves "Dacheng Xingsheng", he could tell something was wrong.
yes.
The people were poor and out of work, and could no longer survive.
However, there is no need to attack the county directly, rob everything, and distribute it.
Next, unless they keep fighting and robbing people like this, how can they survive in the face of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of hungry people that are getting bigger and bigger?
Yang Lin didn't say a word, but he believed that Yun Niang understood what he meant.
What ambitions and great achievements are actually unimportant.
He just didn't want to swing his sword at the people of Ming Dynasty.
He didn't see any special meaning in revolting like this with a sword and turning back the enemy, except that it could turn the whole world into a pot of porridge and make the lives of the people more difficult.
Especially when Xu Song decided to take advantage of the Manchu invasion and the imperial court's inability to allocate troops to raise the flag of justice, he decided to leave.
No matter what.
We can't unite with foreign races, respond to each other from afar, and attack together.
The scene of the Japanese pirates’ harm is still vivid in my mind.
Yang Lin didn't believe those foreigners.
Will treat people well.
certainly.
These actually have nothing to do with him.
He just wants the people he cares about to live well.
Can survive this troubled time until the day of peace.
…
This year, Zhou Hongyi, a great boxer who was famous in the Central Plains, decided to retire from the world and teach apprentices.
This year, famine broke out in various places, the rebel army was suddenly wiped out and revived, and there were fireworks everywhere.
This year, the Manchus invaded and returned with a great victory.
A few more years.
Li broke into Beijing and the Ming Dynasty was gone.
Then, the Jurchens entered the customs and entered Beijing.
The Qing Dynasty was established.
The world is still the same world.
It's just that the rulers have been replaced by other people.
But the people are still miserable and helpless.
Those famous heroes and heroes in the past are no longer remembered by many people as time goes by.
Yang Lin felt that his boxing skills were getting better and better day by day, and his muscles and bones were stronger, but even better than when he was a boy.
By this time, several of his apprentices had already left school, and his sons had grown up and got married.
Daughter Zhou Yumei is as smart as Yun Niang when she was young.
I also have my favorite silly boy.
The silly boy's name is Dai Yunsong.
In some ways, he was a true genius.
At such a young age, he was not only well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, but was also an expert in both poetry and prose. His literary reputation spread throughout the four counties, making him a rare hero.
He has both talent and reputation, and he is also stable and reliable. His family comes from a well-educated family. After switching to business, he has considerable wealth.
When the matchmaker comes to your door.
Yang Lin and Yun Niang were naturally not dissatisfied, so they had no choice but to marry off the daughter they had raised for eighteen years.
To be honest, my daughter is a bit fierce and has practiced boxing. There are dozens of men who are no match for her.
So much so that she is about to become an old girl at home, and no one cares about her yet.
This time, she would have no problem finding a suitable man.
The person in question is Dai Yunsong.
Although Yang Lin is better at martial arts, he also agrees with some of the ideas of literati.
Although I don’t think it’s a virtue for a woman to be without talent, I still think it’s decent for a girl to be gentle and leisurely.
He yells and kills all day long, like a tomboy, no matter how beautiful he is.
In this era, not many people are willing to marry home.
If you are not careful, you will marry a Hedong lion.
The risk is too great.
Chen Jichang has the best say on this point...
But Dai Yunsong, an outstanding young man, doesn't care whether women practice martial arts. On the contrary, he has a soft spot for women.
What else is there to say?
This daughter is married...
What is the married life of my daughter and son-in-law like? Yang Lin didn't care much.
To him, this is just a martial arts fantasy.
This is also the life that Zhou Hongyi has experienced.
He always pays attention to only one thing, which is the advancement of boxing skills and the improvement of strength.
The accumulation of various experiences has made his plum blossom boxing knowledge more solid, and he has also seen another world.
Even Dai Yunsong, a cheap son-in-law, is not doing his job properly.
Actually it's nothing.
He feels that everyone has his or her own ambitions and cannot be forced.
simple is the best.
However, Dai Yunsong seemed to be living a normal life.
The days after getting married were also lackluster.
But his ideal is not plain at all, but rather bizarre.
In this era, whether in the Ming or Qing dynasties, for most people, life's work was nothing more than learning martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family.
The surprising thing about Dai Yunsong is that he doesn't want high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and he has a lot of disdain for those dirty officials.
He felt that being an official of the Qing Dynasty was not interesting.
It is really beneath the dignity of one's family to work as a slave all day long.
He also felt that he needed to leave something behind for this era.
Let Han Dynasty clothes live in the memory of some people and never be erased.
So, he followed Tai Shigong's example and traveled all over the country to collect anecdotes about unofficial history, restore historical truth, and wrote a book called "Yun Shui Ji".
The book faithfully records the customs and sentiments of various places in the late Ming Dynasty, as well as various events when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs...
He even used a historical pen like a sword to truly restore how the bannermen nobles had grown from barbarians to the true emperors who now dominate the world.
This kind of book about things that others dare not think about and do things that others dare not do. As soon as it was circulated, it immediately became famous and was sought after by scholars.
Dai Yunsong is also known as Yunshuigong.
Because his literary reputation was growing and he was unwilling to be an official, he seemed aloof and self-restrained, which was completely different from the humble and humble style of the literati at that time. Instead, Dai Yunsong received unprecedented attention and praise, and was invited to teach in the capital academy. .
It’s not enough if I don’t go.
…
A few more years.
Yang Lin's physical body is also old.
He thought that by this time he would be able to practice Plum Blossom Boxing and live longer, return happily with the lifetime experience of a generation of masters, and quickly improve his own boxing skills, when he heard a piece of news.
A piece of news that made it impossible for him to live in seclusion with peace of mind.
"Master, it's not good."
Zhou Fu, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, ran in with a face full of panic: "Mr. Zheng and Mr. Huang, who were responsible for printing and distributing "Yunshui Collection", had their property stolen and were arrested by the government.
I heard that something happened with my uncle, and he has been taken to the sky prison. Soon he will be interrogated and beheaded, and the nine tribes will be killed..."
"What?"
Yun Niang, who was sewing a small dress for her grandson Nan'er, heard the news, pricked her finger with a needle, and screamed.
Yang Lin looked up in shock.
It is true that when people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.
He didn't expect that his plan to retire and practice boxing would end in this way.
