Chapter 269: Spear Piercing

The plan of the year lies in the spring.

With the spring flowers, the earth returns to green, and it is time for spring sowing.

The Nanzhong Governor's Palace, or the large grain-producing area under the jurisdiction of the Nanzhong Governor's Palace, as it was privately agreed, was already full of peasants who drove buffaloes and carried ploughshares to work in the fields.

The ironworks were filled with the clanging of tools, knives, guns, and armor of all kinds. In the textile factory, the women who spin and weave the cotton that has been sorted and carded are spun into fine yarn and woven into beautiful cotton cloth, which is sent to the printing and dyeing factory to be dyed and printed.

The soldiers of the Guards Battalion selected hundreds of spearmen to form a training team, changed into muskets with sleeve spikes, and explored and practiced how to use the new weapons in their hands in order to exert the maximum lethality.

From south to north, from east to west, whether it was Annam, Luzon, Kowloon River, Chao Phraya River, Manchuria, or Sumatra, people were either active or driven to work in the fields, to the mountains, to the factories, to the mines, and to the wharves.

"My lord, this year we expect to reclaim 1.2 million mu of paddy fields and 800,000 mu of dry land, planting rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, peanuts, sesame, corn and other crops to ensure that the military and the people can eat."

"Chen Tianhua sent a document from Guangzhou, if there is no accident, during the spring famine, there will be about tens of thousands of hungry people from northern and western Guangdong to Xin'an, Xiangshan and other places to board the ship, please make arrangements in advance, grain, oil, firewood, charcoal, all kinds of staple and non-staple food to be prepared."

The people in the official room will make instructions and archives for documents in different categories, and they need to be reported to Shouhan for approval. We will ask for instructions at the daily working lunch or at the regular meeting before dinner. After that, it will be implemented according to the results of the deliberations of Shouhan or the work meeting.

"Tens of thousands? Even if we count at 30,000 households with three people per household, there are nearly 100,000 people, where do we have so many ships? Can it transport 100,000 people at a time? Sue him, find a way to disperse some! Extend the time a little longer, I'm not afraid of them eating, I'm afraid that there won't be so many ships to transport them! ”

In response to Chen Tianhua's request, Shouhan made such an approval. Use food to buy time for the transportation of the population!

As for the issue of resettlement, Shouhan also has his own ideas.

"Not according to place of origin, not according to surname. From south to north, from east to west. East to ten states. To the west to Lingjiawei, to the south to Sumatra, Manraka Islands, each resettlement site 100 households, so that our army has been discharged from the army due to wounds in previous battles. After the training of the political affairs hall, he became the village chief. ”

Simply handled a few business matters. When I returned to the house, I found out. Several wives are not in the house!

Led by Yan Mei'er, Sister Mei Shan Shilin, Li Muhua, Xiu Zhu and others went to the quarantine area for the displaced people at the wharf, where they distributed food and medicine to the displaced people. to appease people's hearts.

Needless to say, Yan Mei'er has been starting from the Hejing period, and the Meishan sisters and Li Muhua also have the meaning of coming from behind, whether it is to comfort the wounded soldiers, distribute food and comfort money to the orphans and widows, or give porridge to the homeless, they are all in full swing.

"Alas! O woman! ”

After listening to the advice of the housekeeper's mother-in-law, Shouhan had to smile bitterly and shake his head, and simply took people to the large playground of the guard battalion to see how the soldiers of the training team practiced and explored a set of practical and feasible assassination actions.

On the playground, hundreds of soldiers were in a team of fifty, holding wooden guns in their hands, comparing left and right, and the head of the team shouted in his mouth. With the sound of the leader's command, the soldiers perfected one movement after another.

On the parade platform on the side of the playground, Li Huamei's master, Daoist Liu Guidan, still looked lonely and arrogant, looking at the hot training scene in front of him, which seemed to be incompatible with this scene.

However, a sneer on the corner of Liu Daochang's mouth revealed her inner thoughts.

For this Huamei master, the people in the house are all respectful of ghosts and gods. Lonely was cold, except for Hua Mei, there was nothing left in his eyes, and when he saw Shouhan and Yan Mei'er and others, he only made a single salute, and then he still had that cold expression.

I don't know what happened to her that made her treat others with such an attitude. Shouhan saw that she was here watching the soldiers practice groping for stabbing and spearmanship, although he was a little puzzled in his heart, but for the sake of his baby daughter's face, he had to step forward to say hello.

"Liu Daochang, but today is so leisure? Come and see the soldiers perform martial arts? ”

"These fools don't know the mystery, but they're here to sell their opinions!"

Shouhan heard Liu Guidan's words, and couldn't help frowning secretly in his heart, no wonder the mansion saw this Liu Daochang, all of them looked like people hated ghosts, and when they said this, they hurt people very deeply!

"Dao Chief, I ordered them to practice marksmanship here, why does Dao Leader say that they are selling their opinions?"

"I've been watching them here for a few days. This group of sect leaders also has some real chapters under their hands, but it's a pity that you have to practice the Ma family gun, he has to practice the Sha family pole, and another one has to practice the Yang family pear flower gun! They quarreled endlessly about this, and they all said that their own was the best. Isn't this a fool who sells his views on the door?! ”

Hearing this, Shouhan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Since the fifth generation, the army has abandoned the horse lance and used the gun, and the spread and types of marksmanship are even more numerous.

Ming He Liangchen said in "Array Discipline": "The Ma family's gun, the Sha family's pole, and the Li family's short gun all have their own wonders. Long and short can be used both, virtual and real are as appropriate as possible, sharp and unreachable, and the world is invincible, but the Yang family pear flower marksmanship is also. ”

Qi Jiguang's "Ji Xiao Xinshu" introduced the "Shajia pole and Ma family gun", which was the leader of Hui martial arts at that time.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the prominent Ma family gun, Sha family gun, "back eighteen cubits" was widely spread, Ming relics Wu Zhen in his "Cangchenzi Arm Record" self-preface also pointed out: "The rest of the people, there are Shi family guns to respect Yan also, Emei guns Cheng Zhen Ruye, Yang family guns, Sha family guns, Ma family guns, their people can not be examined." ”

And Chang Yuchun, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, is also known for his good marksmanship. After the decay of the Chang family. The descendants lived in the rivers and lakes, and there were those who made a living by marksmanship, and they were renamed "Kaiping Guns" because they called themselves "Changjia Guns". Its method is similar to that of the Liuhe gun, but the marksmanship is tough, straight out and straight in.

The so-called Shajia pole is actually the Shajia gun, which seems to have evolved from the horse lance, and its gun rod is eight to two zhang four, and the Shajia gun is used in two feet, and the body follows its feet. Arms with you. The wrist follows its arm.

"Your fire gun and spear thorn are less than a zhang in length, how can you use the method of practicing Shajia's gun to teach the soldiers? What's even more ridiculous is that you soldiers. That's going to be a fight. How to practice this whole set of marksmanship routines? As long as you know a few tricks and practice proficiently, you can do it! ”

listened to Liu Guidan's disdainful comment. Shouhan was a little sweaty. It turned out that he, like those instructors, had walked into a misunderstanding, thinking that he had to practice a whole set of marksmanship. But I forgot about it. These firecrackers with bayonets are just used for hand-to-hand combat, and they are not like in the Five Dynasties period, and they still have to fight? To put it cruelly, it is used to consume with the enemy!

Let's see if those elite soldiers who build slaves and rogue can afford it!

Moreover, the marksmanship of each family is different because of the different lengths of the guns used, the Ma family gun is 310cm, the Shajia gun is 576-768cm, the Yang family gun is generally 448cm, and the longest is about 512cm. Wu Zhen advocated that guns over 384cm were not good; And about 310cm, whether it is suitable for the battlefield or for martial arts training, is the most ideal length. This length, with the spear stab, can barely be reached.

"Then, what should I do with what the Taoist chief sees?"

"The Ma family marksmanship is with a stick method, and the twenty-four styles it makes, but the upper level, the middle level, the lower level, and the standing position, unexpectedly, will be one. Offering claws is the method of zai, swinging the tail is the method of dodging, dripping water descends to the long royal public, riding the dragon, recognizing the needle to convert left and right, turning the corner to save the emergency, and rubbing the flag to try. There is a shuttle gun technique in Hongmen, and these eleven methods are commonly used by guns. If you want these stupid sect leaders of your class to practice this, I'm afraid it will take years before it can be implemented in the whole army! ”

"What about the Taoist Chief's opinion?"

"It's simple! All you have to do is tell your soldier to stab your opponent to death, just remove your opponent's weapon and stab him to death! But just a flick, a stab and a jump are enough! ”

Listening to such a professional commentary, Shouhan really admired his daughter's eyesight, and was able to get acquainted with this Liu Dao Chang in such a chaotic situation on the island at that time, and even asked her to accept her daughter as a disciple.

However, Liu Guidan's words made the leaders present a little unhappy.

Originally, seeing that the lord came to watch the exploration and training of stabbing and spearmanship, these leaders were about to work their own spirits, and it was good to show off their skills in front of the lord, so that they could soar in the future. But I don't want a monk to devalue what she has learned in her life and the hard work of the past few days to nothing, how can this make people swallow this bad breath?!

"Lord, I'm willing to ask this Taoist chief for advice and see how to put me to death in a single stab and jump!"

Several instructors danced the wooden guns in their hands very angrily, and played a gun flower according to what they had learned.

"Dao Chief, you see?"

Shouhan is a little bit planning to let a few heads act as a touchstone, although his daughter has learned a lot of time with this Liu Daochang, but it is also based on the girl's family to strengthen the body and dredge the meridians, I don't know how to fight in battle?

"It's been a long time since I've been fiddling with this thing, but it's itchy today, so I might as well have a discussion with you. Are you going to come one by one, or are you going to go together?! ”

Liu Guidan's tone is still cold, and the words are still a little angry. As the saying goes, it's choking.

A few leaders sneered, it's already a shame for us to do it with you as a woman, and we still have to go together?! In the future, do we still want to mix in this South China Army? It's not glorious to win!

With anger and rage, several people each carried a wooden gun and went down.

The surrounding people gathered to watch. The firecrackers each made their own comments, analyzing who would lose and who would win between the bullish sect leader and this Taoist girl in a moon-white robe. However, public opinion is still one-sided that the head coach will win, and they just hope that the head coach will suffer a little.

"The rule is, if you are stabbed in the chest or abdomen, or if you fall to the ground, you lose."

A temporary referee handed Liu a cuirass, asked her to put it on, and explained to her the essentials and rules of the assassination.

"No need, as long as he stabs me. Even if I lost. Liu Guidan refused the cuirass handed over by the sect leader, and only tucked the placket of the robe into the water and fire silk around his waist. Swung the wooden gun in his hand twice, adapting to its weight and feel.

As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one. The head of the sect who acted as the referee knew from the posture of waving the wooden gun in her hand that this Dao Chief's attainments in long weapons were definitely not shallow. He began to worry about several of his comrades.

He remembered the master's admonition when he was learning art, walking the rivers and lakes, there are several kinds of people who cannot be provoked, monks, women, and people with physical disabilities. Child. And all these men came out and walked. There is some hard work on the hands. If you don't do it, you will suffer.

The one in front of me is both a monk and a woman!

It turns out that they don't listen to the old man. The loss is in sight. Just when the referee's mind was still cranky. A head coach had been set aside by Liu Guidan's wooden gun. Taking advantage of the wide opening of the door between his chest and abdomen, he stabbed with a shot.

Everyone present heard the muffled sound of the head of the wooden spear hitting the cuirass. Then the head of the sect fell to the ground, and struggled to get up for a while.

"Do you want to continue the competition?"

Liu Guidan's voice was still flat, without the slightest hint of joy after the victory.

"Dao Chief. It's not fair, you've been here for a few days, and you've seen what you're capable of. Fang Cai used his words to provoke us to be impetuous, saying that he lost, and he would lose if he changed any of them. ”

The referee couldn't help but open his mouth to defend his colleagues, in front of the lord, he was knocked to the ground by a monk woman like this, how can he mix it up in the future?

"Is that so?! Let's change the analogy. ”

Liu Guidan turned his face to look for the parents of his students.

"Liu is presumptuous today, and asks you for a team of people to teach a lesson, if the team I teach can't win against them ten days later, Liu will no longer mislead people's children."

Hearing this, several sect leaders turned red, this is not only a slap in the face, but also a continuous wild draw of the left and right bows!

"Good! Ten days is ten days! Which team do you choose? ”

"So be it! Ten days is too hasty, so let's take a month as a degree, and after a month, we'll compare one or two here. ”

Shouhan walked out of the crowd and played a round for everyone.

"Dao Chief, can you draw a team from Li's personal soldiers at will?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, just what the general said."

Liu Guidan casually ordered a team of people to take down for training among the soldiers guarding the Han.

In the blink of an eye, the seedlings were spread all over the paddy fields, and a month passed quickly.

Officers above the rank of barracks officer, students and instructors of the lecture hall gathered at the large campus outside Hue City. There are those who have good deeds and even opened a handicap for this competition.

"Bought it, bought it. Ten silver dollars a bet, Liu Daochang wins, one to eight, the two sides draw one to two, the head of the head to win three to one. The head of the coach let two rounds. ”

From time to time, people shuttle back and forth in the stands made of reed mats, touting business.

In the student stands of the Sailor Academy, Shi Lang asked Li Huamei in a low voice, "You didn't buy a bet?" ”

Li Huamei glanced at Shi Lang very unconvinced, "Of course I won't!" ”

"Hey! Isn't that your master? You don't cheer? ”

Just as the two people were talking in a low voice, a brass horn sounded loudly, and the contest began.

Both sides are holding wooden guns, dressed in the narrow sleeves and breasts of the South Central Army, which looks neat and neat.

A team of fifty people lined up with a team of bayonets.

"Let's go!"

Liu Guidan shook the dust in his hand very leisurely, as if he had nothing to do with this competition, and closed his eyes slightly to recuperate.

However, in her team of cadets, someone shouted: "Ready! ”

With this shout, fifty people lifted the wooden guns in unison, and with the pressure of the tiger's mouth and the force of four fingers, the guns were sent out; At the same time, with the sole of the right foot as the axis, the body is half facing to the right, and the left foot takes a step forward, the tip of the toe and the gaze of the leader of the sect on the opposite side, and the tip of the wooden spear in the hand is exactly about the same height as the throat.

This appearance made the hearts of the people present suddenly fall downward.

The Nanzhong Army has always paid attention to queues, and this Liu Guidan's tactics happen to apply the tactics of the Nanzhong Army to the extreme. In terms of momentum alone, the coaches are inferior by three points. Some people have begun to beat a small abacus in their hearts, regretting that they made too many bets when they bought the head of the coach just now.

And when the drums sounded and the two sides began to stab with wooden guns, the hearts of the spectators became even more uneasy.

The group of people taught by Liu Guidan really had only one move, and they were not at all as beautiful as the head disciples of the sect who were fighting against them, wielding wooden guns.

There are only three words for the essentials of action, "fast, accurate, ruthless!" ”

After selecting the target of the assassination, push the gun to the target with both arms, and at the same time use the push force of the right foot and the thrust of the waist to make the body forward, and then the left calf drives the thigh to kick forward a big step, when this step is kicked, the foot is no more than two fists from the ground, and the left foot stabs the enemy at the same time, and the right foot slides forward naturally. Under such an action, aim at the chosen target and quickly stab it. The thrust of the two arms, the thrust of the waist, and the push of the right foot combine into one force and stab the enemy fiercely.

"Thrust-thorn!"

"Thrust-thorn!"

"Thrust-thorn!"

The team of fifty people, in the voice of the captain of the team, continued to stab at the students of the opposite sect leader, the sound of the collision of the wooden gun and the cuirasse, and the muffled humming and moaning of the person after being stabbed, resounded in the air above the school field.

The spurs are fast, accurate and ruthless, the stabbing is tight, the thorn is defended, and the thorn is thorned.

A series of tricks to deceive the left and stab the right, deceive the right to stab down, deceive the stab up, stab the left, suppress the stab, stab the left, and stab down a series of tricks dazzled everyone, and the tricks are all to the head, throat, chest, abdomen, and other positions.

The first team ended with the loss of 27 people on the head side and 7 people on Liu Guidan's side.

The second team ended with 43 people on the head side of the sect and losing 30 people, and Liu Guidan's side losing 6 people......

The eighth team, with 24 men from the head of the team, was completely defeated with only four remaining. On Liu Guidan's side, although the soldiers were too exhausted, and only eleven people were still standing in the field, no one dared to confront them.

"Do you want to continue?"

Liu Guidan, who was sitting in the stands, fiddled with the dust in his hand and asked casually.

"If you want to continue, let these boys rest for a stick of incense, and those of you who don't play can go together."

"You don't have to rest! Eleven of us can fight again! ”

The squadron leader of Liu Guidan's training team roared loudly, although his voice was tired and hoarse, but it had an awe-inspiring majesty, as if he and the ten brothers around him were thousands of troops!

With only fifty people, they fought eight times, and each time they defeated the opponent at a small cost, destroyed a large number of opponents' living forces, and made the opponent dare not fight again, this record can already make everyone present make a judgment.

The team trained by Liu Guidan won!

When people were either annoyed or amazed by this result, there was no shadow of Liu Guidan in the stands.

"That's it for today! The spear skills of our Nanzhong Army are mainly based on the spear skills of today's winners, do you have any opinions?! ”

Shouhan shouted to the people watching from all over the world through the guò microphone on the parade platform.

"Let's go, go and follow me to find the person who opened the market and get the money!"

Li Huamei whispered to Shi Lang.

"Didn't you buy your master to win?" Shi Lang was a little puzzled.

"What you just asked me was if I bought a bet, of course I didn't! I bought 500 bets! The New Year's money in the past few years is all in it! This time, I can add a few cannons to my ship! ”

Li Huamei shouted narrowly towards Shi Lang.

"Don't go! Give me money! (To be continued......)
