Chapter 33: Jianghu Affairs
"Old man Zhou, how long have we not compared? Do you want to do one? Chen Guang pulled back his hand, and the swarthy cone gun fell into his hand, Jiang De slightly estimated, and found that the gun was about seven or eight feet long.
Zhou Tong's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he relaxed again, and said, "That's it, the old man of the marksmanship is willing to bow down, but he is really ruthless in the battlefield, but you are not necessarily the opponent of the old man and me." ”
Chen Guang snorted and said, "You old boy knows how to run away and release arrows, where have you really fought with me, you little listen, don't learn from this old man Zhou in the future, if you can't beat it, you will run, and you will release arrows while running, you will really be angry with me!" ”
Zhou Tong said hehehe, "Since the beginning of King Zhao Wuling, there has been Hufu riding and shooting, this riding and shooting is the right way, how can it not be used, children listen, in the future, when you meet some reckless men, don't be verbose, shoot an arrow over!" ”
"Who do you say is a reckless man?" Chen Guanghu said with wide eyes.
"Who speaks, who do I say?" Zhou Tong waved his stick, put his hand back and said, "Do you want the old man to take you for a few laps?" ”
Jiang De looked at the two old men fighting and stared, and probably understood the strength of the two sides, Chen Guang probably the only thing that was powerful was marksmanship, whether it was a bow or arrow, or footwork, it was not Zhou Tong's opponent, which caused Zhou Tong not to collide with him but could use light skills and bows and arrows to kill him, which made Chen Guang throw a mouse bogey.
"Don't be vindictive, the two gentlemen are getting late, why don't you go to have a wine and dinner first, Chen Daxia may be drinking?" Jiang De came out to play the round and said.
"There's wine! This relationship is good, well, you kid is still quite eye-catching, next time I teach you two hands, let me tell you, I'm not like Old Man Zhou, he likes to hide his secrets. Although Chen Guang's last sentence was deliberately whispered, it was heard by everyone.
Jiang De heard the voice of the favorable point at this time, well, it is really unfavorable for these martial artists to use wine.
Zhou Tong's beard was cocked angrily, "You splash, is the old man hiding his secrets?" The old man is teaching according to his aptitude! ”
Chen Guang ignored Zhou Tong and pulled Yue Fei with one hand, as if he was afraid that his apprentice would run away, and pulled Jiang De with the other hand and said, "Anyway, what kind of wine do you have here?" "I'm leaving.
Jiang De turned around and smiled helplessly at Zhou Tong, and said to Chen Guang, "It's my own good wine, absolutely good wine, by the way, Chen Daxia, what is your gun called, it really looks like it's back to basics." ”
Chen Guang rolled his eyes and said, "You can also call me sir, what a return to the basics, this is the conone gun used in the army!" The most ordinary kind. ”
Jiang De's eyes widened and asked, "Shouldn't a master like you have a peerless divine weapon?" ”
Chen Guang stretched out his hand and said, "You give me money, these good weapons are all made by famous artists, which don't need thousands of dollars, old man, I don't steal, I don't rob, I usually rely on catching a few thieves in exchange for some bounties, where does the money come from to buy good weapons, Old Man Zhou should be about the same, hey!" Old man Zhou, do you have any good guys in your hands? ”
Zhou Tong in the back said angrily, "A military bow, do you want it?" I don't even have the money to buy a conone gun! What do you think the old man came here for in the first place, to settle accounts and ask for money! ”
Jiang De touched his chin, he had been engaged in his own business all this time, and at first he saw Zhou Tong using a bow and arrow, and he thought it was a treasure bow, but it turned out to be a hard bow in the army, so he didn't see Zhou Tong use a gun very much.
"Old man Zhou, your eldest apprentice is so rich, why don't you let your eldest apprentice buy you some good weapons." Chen Guang smiled hesitantly: "It won't be reluctant." ”
Zhou Tong snorted and said, "At a state like this, is the weapon really important?" It's not a battlefield fight, and the advantages are good in case. ”
Chen Guang suddenly shouted: "Important! The old man's fierce spear should actually use an iron gun, but he didn't find a real iron gun that could be used, otherwise the power of the old man's marksmanship would never be able to really unleash! ”
Jiang De hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Chen, what kind of gun do you need?" Tell me about it, and I'll send someone to find it. ”
Chen Guang looked at Jiang De with some suspicion, and he asked, "By the way, what's your kid's name?" ”
Jiang De remembered that he hadn't introduced everyone yet, so he said, "Boy Jiang De, this is Yue Fei, and the next three are the children of local wealthy families, namely Wang Gui, Tang Huai, and Zhang Xian. ”
Chen Guang touched his head and said, "Then why do you still say that you are going to send someone to find it?" You don't have much money, do you? ”
"That's because we all listen to Brother Jiang." Wang Gui shouted loudly.
"Yes, we all listen to Brother Jiang, sir, the convoy you just saw was sent money, and those are the money that Brother Jiang brought us to earn." Zhang Xian also said loudly.
Chen Guang couldn't help but be a little impressed by Jiang De and said, "I didn't expect you kid to have some ability, then okay, the old man will teach you a lesson on this road first." ”
Zhou Tong motioned to the three small ones behind him to follow and listen carefully, Chen Guang did not stop him, and continued, "You have to remember, if you want to learn a weapon, you must first understand him, in fact, the gun began to be really popular after the Han Dynasty, before whether it was the battlefield or the rivers and lakes, it was used Ge and halberd, and when it came to the Sui and Tang dynasties of the two Jin Dynasty, because the armor became harder and harder, the Ge and halberd with weak armor-piercing ability were gradually eliminated, but it was a longer and strengthened spear, that is, the lance was recognized by the world, but the lance was too difficult and expensive to make, so the simple version of the gun became popular, Therefore, the purpose of the existence of the gun is to break the armor, which is why the old man chose the most simple conone gun, this is because he is the most cost-effective armor-breaking gun.
Nowadays, many people like to use cork to make guns, indeed, such guns are full of toughness, and the guns are much more shaky, and they look good! But there is a loss of armor-piercing ability, the old man's marksmanship is the army's marksmanship, and the most important thing is to hit the hard, so the old man's gun should be tough, but also hard! So the only option is the best steel, so that the power of the spear can be brought into play! ”
Jiang De asked a little puzzled, "But sir, how did I hear that the ash rod is the best gun?" ”
Chen Guang looked at Jiang De and nodded slightly and said, "You kid is well-read, this ash pole is indeed a good gun, I have seen someone use him when I was training, this thing is hard but not hard, soft and not broken, but this kind of gun, the rivers and lakes are excellent, but it is not good on the battlefield." Think about it, if the opponent's armor is extremely hard, if you shoot this time, I'm afraid that the gun shaft is bent and the gun head does not enter! This force was pushed back. ”
Jiang De nodded, indicating that he understood, but he still didn't understand what was going on with the wolf soldiers of Qin Liangyu in the late Ming Dynasty, who were rumored to be famous in later generations.
In fact, this is really Jiang De was misled by many statements in later generations, Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers are not spearmen, but more like a sickle hook gun weapon, the way to use is more to pull, rather than armor-piercing thorns, the record of the white pole soldier in the "Manchurian Record" is to hold five bamboo handle spears and swords, that is to say, Qin Liangyu's troops, spearmen are actually using bamboo handles, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the evaluation of the ash pole is also that this is a good material for making sticks, and to make guns, it is still necessary to use extremely hard, or fragile wood.
Jiang De said to Chen Guang: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will find a way to find a good blade for Mr. to use as soon as possible." ”
Chen Guang rubbed his hands when he heard it and said, "Ordinary steel is not good, and toughness is still needed!" ”
Jiang De smiled and said, "I know, I know!" ”
Zhou Tong coughed when he heard it the year after tomorrow, and Jiang De hurriedly said loudly, "Of course, Mr. Zhou's bow should also be replaced, and Mr. Zhou should also have a good gun." ”
Zhou Tong stroked his beard and smiled, but he knew how rich his cheap apprentice was now.
Wang Gui said with some blushing eyes, "Sir, Brother Jiang, when will we have our own blades?" ”
Zhou Tong tapped the wooden stick and said, "I want to learn to run before you even learn to walk, can you afford to hold a big gun?" ”
Wang Gui thought about the big gun of pure iron, it must weigh dozens of pounds, if this is a dance, Wang Gui shook his head when he thought about it, and he always felt that this gun looked so unhappy, this poke, that poke, when will it be poked to kill all the thieves.
Anyway, it was on the road, and it was also a small talk, Jiang De continued to ask, "Sir, who are the Fang Sect Leader and Yang Tianjian who I said before?" ”
Chen Guang sighed and said, "They are all from the Ming Sect, Yang Tianjian is the original Ming Sect leader, and Fang La is the current Ming Sect leader!" ”
Yue Fei asked, "Mingjiao? Sir, I've only heard of Buddhism and Taoism, and I've heard Brother Jiang say that there is a Nestorian Religion and a Green Religion in the west, what is this Mingjiao? ”
Jiang De also said, "Yes, if there are any other sects on the rivers and lakes, Mr. will tell us about them." ”
Chen Guang looked back at Zhou Tong and said, "Didn't you say it to the old man?" ”
Zhou Tong stroked his beard and said, "They are still young, do they need to know what these things do?" ”
Chen Guang shook his head and said, "It's always good to know something, so I'll talk to you."
In fact, there are many names for this Mingjiao, it is said that it is a sect that began in the Tang Dynasty, it is one of the three major forces in today's rivers and lakes, there are many believers, mostly gathered in the south, these people form parties and associations, vegetarians, abstain from alcohol, help each other, but it is not a bad person, but this Mingjiao rebelled many times in the late Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, so don't be too involved.
Yang Tianjian is the original sect leader, in fact, he doesn't call this name, but because his swordsmanship is too powerful, his birth has also been forgotten by the world, Fang La is the current sect leader, it is said that he is a middle-aged man, he should be able to be more than ten years. In addition to the sect leader, Mingjiao also has the Dharma King and the Dharma Protector, and it is said that they are all very powerful, but they have never been beaten, and they don't know the specific level.
In addition to Mingjiao, there are two major forces on the rivers and lakes that are not easy to provoke, one is Buddhism, such as Daxiangguo Temple, Wutai Mountain, Shaolin Temple, etc., these bald donkeys have a large number of people, can speak well, but they are really in trouble.
One is Taoism, today's officials like Taoism the most, so today's Taoism is the Buddha's elimination, Taoism is most afraid of not their skills, but their Taoism, don't laugh, some things are hundreds of thousands of years, don't think it's nonsense! ”
Jiang De can't help but laugh, Taoism, I'm afraid it's a trick to catch ghosts, take wine from the cup, and take money from the oil pot, the Taoist Taoism will be pushed to the top in more than ten years, and then the price will be the permanent fall of the world's first city.
Zhou Tong also said with a serious face: "If you are outside in the future, remember to give three points to the people of Buddhism first, and you will not suffer." ”
A few children nodded, but Jiang De shook his head slightly, Zhou Tong looked at Jiang De, and he was helpless, this kid fought and said, but he was very stubborn, I hope I won't suffer in the future.
Jiang De continued to ask, "So, what about these three major sects? Are there any beggar gangs, Huashan factions, Kongtong factions, etc., that have hundreds of people practicing martial arts in them? ”
Chen Guang blinked and smiled, "Beggar Gang, do you still know about Beggar Gang?" The beggar gang is the most disgusting, many of the children in it were abducted and trafficked to break their hands and feet, such people, I see them once and again!
As for what you are talking about, the Huashan faction, the Kongtong faction, the old man has never heard of it, besides, hundreds of people practice martial arts? You ask your master, how much effort and money has been spent on you? In addition to the two families of Buddhism and Taoism, who has a large area of land to collect rent, who will have that money, is the Chai family in Cangzhou, and there are only a few hundred helpers, among whom can be said to be good hands, I am afraid that it is only a palm. ”
Jiang De already had some understanding of the entire so-called Great Song Dynasty at this time, and understood that the so-called three major forces were actually extremely scattered three parties, even the most united Ming Sect, Fang La was afraid that there were not many people around him, and the government was the absolute force at this time.
Think about it, too, the policy of the Song Dynasty was to be strong and weak, because from Zhou to Tang, no country was really destroyed by foreign people, so although the Song Dynasty civil and military officials were a big mountain in their hearts, the real prevention was always internal.
Jiang De also understood that whether it was Zhou Tong or Chen Guang beside him, they all taught martial arts used in the army, and there was probably a big gap between them and the martial arts on the rivers and lakes, of course, whether it was Yue Fei or Sanxiao or Jiang De, learning martial arts in the army was the most correct choice.
——
"Xiao Langjun, it's 10,000 guan here, let's go out first." Wang Ming bowed his hand to Jiang De and walked out.
At this time, it was already after Chen Guang's banquet, and when he learned that there was another martial arts master to teach his child, the three members were naturally overjoyed, when Chen Guang said that only Yue Fei was accepted as an apprentice, and the others could only be named disciples, the three members were not much disappointed, after all, they could still learn something, not to mention that Zhou Tong was there.
After Wang Ming left, Jiang De looked at the big box in front of him, this is 10,000? Jiang De opened a box, and a copper smell of copper coins came out, Jiang De frowned slightly, Well, let's start.
"Start redeeming!"
"Exchange items, 7.7 million Song-style copper coins, 77,000 points earned, whether to continue!"
Jiang De said secretly with some excitement: "Confirm the exchange." ”
