Pu Yi's eyes lit up first, and then they turned into a constipation-like expression, and Huo Diange looked at Pu Yi with an eager gaze - these days, no matter how high his kung fu is, he is afraid of guns!

He led a group of disciples and grandchildren, and he ran naked with his bare hands for so many years, although he didn't say it, let alone how worried he was in his heart.

If he can have a gun, not only Pu Yi's safety will be more guaranteed, but his brothers will also have a few more lives!

Geng Chaozhong knew what he was thinking, and before he came, he had carefully studied the regulations on preferential treatment and Pu Yi's financial situation.

The preferential treatment of the abdication was reached by Yuan Shikai on behalf of the Beiyang government and Emperor Puyi, which stipulated that every year the government of the Republic of China would pay 4 million taels of silver to the small court of the Xunqing Dynasty.

It stands to reason that 4 million taels of silver is a lot, Geng Chaozhong was busy for a long time, and he got about 700,000 taels of silver, and Pu Yi could get 4 million taels from the government of the Republic of China in a year.

However, this cost is not Pu Yi alone, at least, the two queen mothers, a large number of palace maids and guards, the old and the young, and the small court are all responsible. What's more, the imperial court is extravagant and doesn't know how to live within its means, so there is even less money left!

In fact, the balance that the small court can leave every year is more than 300,000 taels, and even this money is still in the hands of the queen mother of the two palaces, and what Pu Yi can get is even more limited.

It was not until 1924 that Feng Yuxiang staged a coup d'état and overthrew the Cao Kun government. A few days later, Feng's subordinate Lu Zhonglin and Li Shizeng, a representative of the provisional cabinet, came to the Forbidden City with a pistol team and the "Preferential Conditions for Correction of the Qing Room" signed by the temporary cabinet, and demanded that Pu Yi sign the correction form and order him to move out of the Forbidden City within two hours.

Now, there are no more four million taels!

The current Pu Yi can only live with Wanrong on a budget, if it weren't for the constant auction of antique calligraphy and paintings preserved in the palace, he would have been unable to make ends meet!

Otherwise, Pu Yi would not be so cold as to give back to Geng Chaozhong with the calligraphy and paintings he wrote.

Seeing that Pu Yi was still hesitating, Geng Chaozhong spoke again:

"Your Majesty, I heard that the government of the Republic of China has not even issued a pension for many years, let alone sent someone to protect you and put your safety at heart. Over the years, if it weren't for Master Huo's loyalty and courage, sacrificing his life to protect each other, and the small people who were afraid of Master Huo's prestige and didn't dare to act rudely, maybe someone would dare to do it to you, this kind of thing, you have to guard against it! ”

After thinking for a long time, Pu Yi finally spoke:

"Mr. Bai, although the government of the Republic of China is unkind, I can't be unjust, besides, the preferential treatment regulations were also signed by me personally, although our Aixin Jueluo family is no longer a royal family, but decency still has to be spoken."

Hearing Pu Yi's words, Huo Diange finally couldn't help it, and said:

"Your Majesty, the government of the Republic of China does not even abide by the regulations on abdication and preferential treatment, and it is useless for you to keep this treaty, besides, just a few guns, self-protection is not enough, can you really point to these guns to rebel?"

Huo Diange is also a cannon temper, as soon as these words came out, Pu Yi's face was also blue and white for a while, but Pu Yi was also quite elegant, just smiled awkwardly, but he was not angry.

Geng Chaozhong saw Pu Yi's face and understood what he was thinking.

In fact, Pu Yi did not want to vigorously arm his own guards, but he was worried about attracting the envy of the Republic of China government.

For thousands of years, it is rare for the old emperor of the former dynasty to abdicate to have a good death, and Pu Yi was afraid that one day, he would be given three glasses of wine by the government of the Republic of China, so he never dared to make a mistake.

"Your Majesty," Geng Chaozhong said as he weighed his words:

"With all due respect, this time is different from the past, thirty years ago, only a few hundred foreign spearmen were needed to occupy a state and a county, and claim the title of king. At that time, the British and French coalition forces and the Eight-Nation Coalition army entered Beijing, but there were only a few thousand people. Therefore, the Beiyang government is afraid that you will train an elite soldier, even if it is only a few hundred, it may be able to cause a lot of noise.

But now it's different, there are no more than 10,000 soldiers, even if it is difficult to occupy a county seat, the Nanjing government, Feng Yan and others, there are hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, who cares about the hundreds of guards? So your Majesty, you don't have to worry.

In this way, the minister has a plan, I will send someone to set off a gun outside the Friendship Hall tomorrow, and then you will report it to the government, saying that someone is planning to assassinate you, and ask the government to send troops to guard it. Now that the Central Plains War is in full swing, who will send troops? As long as no one is in charge, you have a reason to buy a firearm to protect yourself.

As long as there are no more than thirty or fifty guns, the government of the Republic of China will not mind. ”

As soon as Geng Chaozhong's words came out, Huo Diange next to him couldn't help but nod frequently, and Pu Yi's face suddenly eased.

Indeed, what Mr. Bai said is very reasonable, this time is different from the past, and only a few dozen guns should not make the government of the Republic of China feel uneasy. Besides, his external image has always been weak and handsome, and his poetry and painting entertain him.

It stands to reason that after so many years, others should be at ease with themselves!

Thinking of this, Pu Yi stood up, didn't speak, turned around and walked straight back to the back room.

Huo Diange couldn't help but be stunned.

Looking at Pu Yi's expression just now, he was obviously already moved!

Geng Chaozhong smiled, pulled Huo Diange out, and said:

"Master, the emperor has agreed, tomorrow I will do what I just said, and you don't have to panic when the time comes."

"Agreed? Didn't you see the emperor speak? Huo Diange couldn't help but touch his head.

Geng Chaozhong haha, affectionately climbed Huo Diange's majestic shoulder, and said:

"Master, master! You've been with the emperor for so long, and you still don't understand his thoughts. This kind of thing, how can there be a reason to promise it in person. He wants to admit it, if something really happens in the future, and others ask, the emperor nods too much, so what can I do? So, if there is no objection, it is agreed. ”

Huo Diange suddenly realized.

To say that this emperor's mind is really complicated!

However, I have been with the emperor for so long, and I am not as sensible as this new disciple, and I am very ashamed to say it!

Geng Chaozhong was very disapproving, this set of thick black knowledge, to put it bluntly, is his own credit, and he is at fault, and when the time comes, he can push it all away with a casual sentence of "the widow didn't agree and didn't nod at the time", and the black pot will naturally be handed over to the next person to carry it.

This set, even in later generations, many officialdom "elites" are still playing perfectly.

Geng Chaozhong looked at Huo Diange's face a little unnatural, and hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort Huo Diange:

"Master, you are obsessed with martial arts and don't ask about the world, so you naturally won't take this kind of trivial matter to heart. Besides, this kind of argument is actually not interesting, it is far less than practicing boxing to be above board and magnificent! ”

"That's right!" Huo Diange slapped his palms and laughed, pulled Geng Chaozhong over, and said:

"Let's go! Practice with me! ”

Geng Chaozhong was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed Huo Diange out of the courtyard.

The two stood in the center of the rooftop, and Huo Diange asked:

"Let's talk about it! What do you want to learn? I won't stay in this island city for long, at most two months, I will have to follow the emperor back to Tianjin, it stands to reason, in just two months, I can't teach you too much. But fortunately, you have a good foundation, maybe you can learn a little, you say! ”

"The disciple can't say it, but he can beat it, so dare to ask the master for advice!" Geng Chaozhong's eyes were scorching, and he stared at Huo Diange's eyes and said.

"Haha!" Huo Diange looked up to the sky and laughed, looked at Geng Chaozhong and said:

"Although it is said that the fist is afraid of being young and strong, but my Huo Diange is not old! Try it out with you today! ”

Geng Chaozhong naturally knew that Huo Diange was not old, he was in his thirties and forties, and he was at an age when a boxer was not old, and his physical strength and experience and skills were at the peak. Although the staying power has decreased, as long as you don't fight a protracted battle, that kung fu can really be said to be the peak!

Geng Chaozhong's purpose is to see what are the core things in the real Bajiquan that can be mastered by himself in two months, after all, the taolu boxing method is only the surface, and the reaction ability and power skills are the key. And some secret training skills are also what you need to learn from.

Geng Chaozhong nodded, didn't speak again, set up the gong frame, and shouted violently, and went straight to the middle palace!

Bajiquan, the full name is "Open Door Bajiquan", what is "Open Door"? It is to take the middle palace directly and open the opponent's door!

I saw a white dragon soaring in the early morning clouds, rushing towards Huo Diange like a madman, his fist was like a meteor, his eyes were like electricity, his waist was like a snake, his feet were like a drill, his movements were crisp, his force was fierce, he was beaten, helped, squeezed, and leaned on everywhere.

And Huo Diange is worthy of being the grandmaster, although he is late, his speed is not slow at all, palm to fist, elbow to squeeze, clothes hunting, and his strength is wanton!

Hearing the fists and feet striking each other, there was a loud sound of Peng Peng, and many disciples who had just gone out heard the sound and swarmed out again, and when they saw that the new disciple had actually fought with the master again, they couldn't help but be fascinated, and one by one they either pestled in front of the window, or stayed in place with water, and watched this competition in amazement.

This surnamed Bai is really not a rookie, Tie Shan leans, elbows, and kicking hammers are all used freely, although Bajiquan pays attention to the enemy does not move, I do not move, if the enemy does not move, first use the temptation. But his style of play is definitely not a false move, as long as he shoots, whether he can hit the key point or not, he always has to make physical contact with the opponent, just like a bee stinging people, not to sting you, but to hurt you!

Obviously, the master is also a little uncomfortable with this style of play, but the master is a master after all, blocking Geng Chaozhong's first few axes, and immediately hammering with extremely powerful cannons!

Hey! Ha!

This exhaled punch smashed over, Geng Chaozhong's offensive was immediately blocked, and the momentum of the first voice to seize people suddenly stagnated!

Once you get into a stalemate, footwork becomes extremely important.

In terms of footwork, Bajiquan pays attention to not ding, not eight, no bow, not horse, which is also secretly in line with modern fighting, Bajiquan's style of play, to be fair, and Muay Thai has many similarities, so it is worthy of the first name of Chinese martial arts.

Everyone saw that Huo Diange should have been immersed in sex for a long time, and his footwork was dominant, but this surnamed Bai actually put on another weird footwork, which was not only like boxing, but also like the rapid steps and consecutive steps in the palm of the gossip, and he didn't fall behind at all!

Huo Diange's heart was secretly anxious, he didn't expect this disciple to be so difficult.

Just after the fight, he could feel that this disciple's Baji Quan practice could not be at home, and he did not get the true transmission, but the speed was amazing, and the strength was surprisingly large, just these two points, even if he did not get the true transmission, it was enough to suppress most of the skilled fighters!

What's more, the opponent's footwork is also extremely flexible, unlike the Baji Fist squatting extremely deep, although the strength is greater, the movement is not as fast as the opponent.

In this way, he has become a light beaten and does not fight back!

Thinking of this, Huo Diange no longer hesitated, his moves were no longer subtle, but became wide open and closed.

As the saying goes: "Eight poles are split, gods and ghosts are afraid!" ”

This punch method coupled with splitting palms, the range of attacks quickly increased, and Geng Chaozhong's activities were immediately suppressed, and he had to have a hard fight with Huo Diange, but once he hit it hard, Geng Chaozhong immediately felt uncomfortable!

Every time Huo Diange's fist intersected with himself, he felt a sense of discomfort in his chest, and the longer the exchange lasted, the worse the chest tightness became.

Geng Chaozhong understands that this is the so-called internal strength!

In fact, internal strength is not mysterious, to put it bluntly, it is shock, so that your muscles are shaken, your internal organs are shaken, you are sour, and you are numb, a "shock" word, which summarizes everything.

However, if you want to practice, you have special power skills, and this is exactly what Geng Chaozhong wants to learn!

After a while, Geng Chaozhong's punches became slower and slower, and his hands and feet became more and more sore, and he understood that he couldn't hold on for long!

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, Huo Diange leaned on an iron mountain, Geng Chaozhong could no longer hold the center of gravity, and was knocked into the crowd!

The onlookers applauded, and even Pu Yi, who was watching the battle upstairs, slapped his palms a few times, Geng Chaozhong raised his eyes and saw that there was a beautiful woman standing next to Pu Yi and watching the battle with a smile. It seems that it is the legendary queen Wanrong.

Geng Chaozhong got up, saluted in front of Huo Diange, and said:

"Master's divine skill, the disciple has served!"

This Huo Diange does have real kung fu, and his trip was not in vain!

"You're not bad either! Let's go and talk to me! ”

Huo Diange smiled and said-This disciple is indeed good, although the playing method is peculiar, but it is indeed effective.

He is not a person who eats the ancients, he has also participated in the Chinese Guoshu Museum, the Jingwu Sports Association, and has studied various schools of martial arts.

It's just that he is so young, where did he have so much time to learn so many boxing styles?

The two walked into the house, and Huo Diange was about to ask each other, but Geng Chaozhong had already spoken in advance:

"It's not a secret, the disciple found here, not for the emperor, but for you!"

"For me?!"

Huo Diange was stunned.

"That's right, I worship you as a teacher, firstly, to learn the art and carry forward the Eight Extremes, and in addition, I also want you to leave here and protect yourself!"

"Joke!"

Huo Diange's face changed, and he was about to leave with his sleeves - he heard it, Geng Chaozhong's words were to let him leave Puyi and find another way out, how could this be done by a hero?

Geng Chaozhong looked at Huo Diange, although he was only in his early 40s, he had already pale and sparsely said - after a fight, Geng Chaozhong could already see that this Huo Diange was indeed a grandmaster, he was loyal to Pu Yi, and he also had his own values.

Geng Chaozhong also knew that although Huo Diange later followed Pu Yi to the Northeast, he did not defect to the Japanese, but only did his duty as a bodyguard.

On the contrary, he also punished the Japanese with his disciples many times, and in the end, he was angry to death by Pu Yi because of this incident.

Geng Chaozhong grabbed Huo Diange and said eagerly:

"Master, listen to me!"

Huo Diange turned his head and said with a stern face:

"No, you have learned the Eight Extremes, you should know the Eight Extremes and Sixteen Characters! If I'm gone, what kind of loyalty and courage will I have?! If I leave, what kind of Eight Extremes Quan will I practice, and what Eight Extremes Grandmaster will I be?! ”

Be loyal to the liver and courage, use your body as a shield, sacrifice yourself without self, and take the lead in danger.

This is the sixteen-character mantra of Bajiquan, this kind of indomitable and self-sacrificing spiritual temperament, which is the core of Bajiquan's sudden rise and fall, hard opening the door of the other party, and advancing again and again.

Geng Chaozhong naturally understood, but he couldn't bear to be angry to death by Pu Yi's cowardice and Japanese bullying! I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
