Chapter 674 Going to the South Seas
In the middle of the nineteenth century, the French arrived here and began their colonial invasion of Vietnam. After the defeat in 1885, the Qing government signed a new Sino-French treaty with France, relinquishing its suzerainty over Vietnam. It was from that time that the influence of Chinese civilization in the region began to weaken.
The land of Nanyang is extremely martial spirit. If you take out a small country at random, it is the land of the four wars, and if you look up the history, you will hardly stop the war. Either fighting with foreign enemies, or rats using knives to fight in the nest. With a population of nearly 100 million, Vietnam is one of the most important countries in the South Seas region and one of the most war-prone countries.
Located in northern Vietnam, Hanwai is the country's second largest city and political center.
This South Asian city with a population of 10 million has a long history of more than 1,000 years, and the main ethnic group is the Jing people, and the others include the Chinese, Khmer, Dai people, Tai people and Eddie people. Fatty meat, ginger, shallots, red couplets, flags, firecrackers, and large rice dumplings. This Vietnamese folk proverb says that when the Spring Festival arrives, it is necessary to prepare sumptuous meat dishes for the festival, cook rice dumplings, paste red couplets at the door, fly high flags in the wind, and firecrackers are ringing.
Hanoi also uses the solar and lunar calendars, in addition to national holidays such as New Year's Day, International Labor Day, National Day, etc., there are also Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chung Yeung Festival, Spring Festival, etc. Like the Chinese, the lunar Spring Festival is the biggest festival of the year.
From the perspective of cultural homogeneity, Hanoi is actually a typical city in the Greater Chinese Cultural Circle.
Before Li Muye left, Chen Binghui provided him with a very detailed and pragmatic information.
There are many schools of local martial arts, and the more orthodox one is called Yue Wudao, which is said to be a combination of Shaolin boxing and French Savat kicking, and uses the two as the main body to open up a new routine. During the French colonial period, it was popular in order to improve the physical fitness and fighting will of the people. Referring to the Toei karate's rank system, different bands are prescribed for different levels.
In the following decades, he developed the Yue Wu Dao Sanshou technique based on Muay Thai fighting, and paid more attention to improving sensitivity, flexibility and strength than before, and the new Sanshou technique paid more attention to the actual combat effect, pursuing a single blow to disable bloodthirsty injury and killing! Yin ruthlessly attacked joints, tendons, blood vessels and arteries with many hidden and efficient moves! He was especially good at using his body position to staggered and stumble in close quarters to complete several disabled strikes in an instant, so that the opponent was seriously injured and collapsed in seconds without realizing it! The actual combat and skill are super strong!
Traditional Vietnamese martial arts guru Nguyen Sai Hung is known as Vietnam's second grandmaster, second only to Vu Yuan Anh, who settled in Ho Chi Minh City and is known as the master of Vietnam's thousand-year-old martial arts. It is said that this person can push dozens of people in the snap of his fingers, and his kung fu is simply superb.
Although this Nguyen Shixiong is famous, in the rivers and lakes of Hanoi, the most disciples are still the dojo of the Sanshou Gate of the Yue Martial Arts. This martial arts technique focused on actual combat was pioneered by Vu Yuan Anh, and his personal disciple, 45-year-old Nguyen Van Giap, has opened a dojo in Hanoi for many years, with thirteen branches and nearly 10,000 disciples. Even in the Khmer region, where martial arts are more respected, it can be called a big school.
In addition to the local dominance of the Viet Budo, karate and the White Crane sect in the Nanhai Gate are also important gateways to the local rivers and lakes. Muay Thai, Khmer boxing, Filipino wands, and Indian kabat boxing also have a place in the city.
Among them, the Khmer boxing master Apacha is the most violent. Known as the No. 1 martial arts master in Hanoi, it is said that this person has a Khmer warlord background, and he is currently in the city in the rivers and lakes, and he is the one who has the strongest development momentum. A few years ago, Zheng Baoshan, a generation of grandmasters of the White Crane Sect, as the linzi of the Nanhai Gate, was really good at kung fu cultivation, and he paid attention to actual combat and was good at technical attacks. was challenged by Apcha, and it only took one round to knock Zheng Baoshan into a vegetative state in less than three minutes.
It is said that this apacha is 1.9 meters tall, born with thick bones, developed fascia, infinite strength, and agility like an ape. In order to practice boxing, he once lived alone in the primeval forest for ten years, and dared to fight the tiger and bear with his bare hands. With the natural ability of the bear and tiger, he had to flee in panic when he punched and elbowed.
The situation in the Nanyang region is complicated, and the forces of all parties are intertwined, and there are constant open and covert struggles. The mountainous region ruled by the Khmer warlords was rich in minerals, and the Mitsui clique of Dongying worked closely with it, and it was absolutely dominant there. The biggest financier behind this Apacha is the Mitsui Group, so as soon as this person came out of the mountain, he was the first to challenge the Chinese White Crane Sect's gym.
After Zheng Baoshan was disabled, Nanhai Gate sent another Wing Chun grandmaster Zeng Song to challenge him in order to find the field. This Zeng Song is only thirty years old, compared to Zheng Baoshan, who is over fifty years old, he is in the prime of life, although he is not well-known, but he is an important figure in the new talent training plan of Nanhaimen Muyun Academy. Compared with the Jian Weilai that Li Muye killed in Moscow back then, this Zeng Song is stronger, especially better at modern hand-to-hand combat. It is said that the level of boxing is already the top level in the world.
It's a pity that the so-called international top level is still in the category of ordinary people, and his opponent has evolved into a murderous beast in the grinding of hell. As soon as Apacha came up, he pounced and bit Zeng Song's throat, Zeng Song's actual combat skills that he had practiced since he was a child and applied to the ring countless times were completely useless. He was seriously injured in a daze.
The interior of Nanhaimen is not monolithic, the Lion City Li family, the Ziyun Huang family, and the Chen family, which have deep roots in Indonesia and the Philippines, the three clans stand side by side to inherit the thousand-year-old Taoist system of Nanhaimen. There is a saying inside Nanhaimen that the martial style of the Li family, the courage of the Huang family and the wealth of the Chen family. But in modern times, there have been some changes in this statement, and the most capable of fighting in contemporary Nanhaimen is Huang Yonghao, the king of Luojia. At least on a public level. And the Chen family has also developed from a generation of chaebols to a power lord.
The Lion City Lee family is the quintessential pro-Western. Ziyun Huang is closely connected to China. The Chan family has a pivotal position in the Nanyang Economic Circle.
After the defeat of Zeng Song, the situation of Nanhai Gate, which had been operating in Hanoi for many years, was about to be in jeopardy. However, the Lion City Li family's attitude towards this is dispensable, and they resolutely do not intend to send elite-level core disciples to stand out for the portal. The attitude of the Ziyun Huang clan was more ambiguous, they said that although Zheng Baoshan and Zeng Song were defeated, after all, they had already paid a huge price for the Ziyun Huang clan for Nanhaimen, and there was no reason for the Ziyun Huang clan to send someone to take the lead.
Second Sister Chen, as the contemporary head of the Chen family and the president of the Nanhaimen Presbyterian Church, if she can't find someone who can fight to solve this matter at this time, I am afraid that her status in the rivers and lakes in Nanhaimen will be greatly reduced from now on. And within the Chen family, the incoming characters are all top monks, and it is okay to fiddle with a head and count a hexagram or something. Dealing with Apcha, who is like a fierce beast, is obviously almost meaningless.
If you change to before retirement, this is not a difficult task. But now she is no longer the director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, a full member of the Security Committee. Naturally, it is not easy to exercise the power of the executive committee of the National Security Committee, and to send top figures in the domestic rivers and lakes to do this.
Whether or not to defeat Apacha is actually secondary, the key is that if you can't find a powerful person to help you, you will question Second Sister Chen's influence in the core area of domestic power within Nanhaimen. Second Sister Chen didn't think about looking for Huang Yonghao, but after thinking about it, she decided not to look for him. The old head of the Ziyun Huang clan looked at it, if he looked for Huang Yonghao again at this time, it would be almost equivalent to telling people that he had lost his previous authority and influence after retiring.
The mother is in trouble, and of course the son can't watch it.
And at this time, Li Muye came to Hanoi with An Yiru.
An Zhiyuan bought a property in the commercial district east of Duzhu Temple, a holy place of Southern Buddhism, with two entrances and two exits, with a wide field in front and a quiet pavilion in the back. Li Muye and An Yiru came to the plane with Bai Qi and Evil, and were personally picked up here by An Zhiyuan.
It has been eight months since the White Horse Club developed in the Nanyang area, and An Zhiyuan has only done one thing, buy, buy, buy.
These three buys are, buying property, buying people's hearts, and buying the powerful.
Buying a permanent property in the city is to show your determination to invest in the Vietnamese economy. Through the construction of schools and health centers at the village and town level, he won the favor and love of many local people. The buying of the powerful is about the cooperative relationship between him and the famous entrepreneur Wu Wei Ninh in Hanoi. This Wu Weining's grandfather is the former commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, the famous generalissimo Wu Yuanyi. Uncle Vu Phu Nhon is a powerful faction of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and this thing is a second ancestor with the name of a false business genius.
An Zhiyuan had already done his homework before coming here. Knowing that the locals were always wary of the Republicans, he asked Brother Ono to use his privilege to get him a wanted hat before he came. and then dragged Wu Weining to Las Vegas in a stinky way. Among them, he deliberately made trouble, and took advantage of Li Muye's momentum to show his strong connections in North America to the second ancestor Middle-earth Baozi, so that Wu Weining, who has always been pro-Western, admired the five-body projection, and since then, the two brothers have worshipped, and Wu Weining has become An Zhiyuan's hardcore brother.
Of course, it costs a lot of money to do this. More than half of the White Horse Club's investment in Nanyang came from Baiyuntang. In just eight months, the money is like water. An Zhiyuan wanted to explain the flow and use of funds to Brother Ono several times. Li Muye only repaid him, not enough money is my problem, and how to spend it is your problem. When the time comes, I want the result, I don't ask how the process is, because I believe in you!
I believe you, three words smashed into the softest place in An Zhiyuan's heart.
Death for a confidant.
An Zhiyuan was afraid of Li Muye before, but now he is grateful and respects Brother Ono from the bottom of his heart.
This can be seen inside and outside the building. The pavilions and pavilions outside the house are newly renovated, and every arrangement in the house reflects the subtle thoughts, An Yiru is a Taoist woman, in the case of not knowing what relationship she has with Li Muye, An Zhiyuan specially invited a designer who is proficient in feng shui pattern from Hong Kong Island, and asked the designer to try to reflect the Taoist cultural concept of the unity of nature and man in terms of decoration and layout.
Four watchtowers were built at the four corners, and heavy fire security forces were arranged, and the security design of the entire building was contracted by a well-known professional company in North America.
All in all, the whole building feels understated, luxurious, connotative, cultural, interesting, and safe.
When he first arrived in Guijing, Li Muye planned to hold a dinner party, and the guests of honor were Second Sister Chen and Nanhaimen, who were more important figures in the city. The heads of other dojos in the city also sent posts, so they didn't come at will. In the end, An Zhiyuan was ordered to invite a person with enough weight in the local police circle to attend.
The purpose of arranging this dinner party is threefold, one is to push An Yiru out, the second is to let the old and young people in Nanhaimen who are waiting to see the jokes of Second Sister Chen, and the third is to show their strength a little and raise the force to avoid some low-level characters such as small police officers coming to the door to blackmail, local gangsters coming to make trouble, and other bad things. An Zhiyuan has been laying out for eight months, and hundreds of millions of dollars have been smashed into it, and Brother Ono is going to accept the results tonight......
