Chapter 100: Tea Night Talk
Seeing that Li Kui was defeated by Yan Qing, Shi Jin and Yang Lin beside Wang Lun couldn't help but re-examine Yan Qing, but this person can't be ignored by people who play sheng and drums!
Wang Lun had long expected Li Kui's defeat, Li Kui was good at charging with cold weapons, and he was not good at martial arts. Not to mention that Yan Qing, who is outstanding in his fists and feet and famous in later generations, and has left "Yan Qing Boxing", is Jiao Ting, who is good at sumo, and Li Kui is not an opponent.
"Brother Xu, my brother Shi Jin is a senior disciple of Brother Wang Jin. He is also a general, and please give me advice! Wang Lun saw that Shi Jin also wanted to try his skills, so he said to Xu Ning.
When Xu Ning heard that Shi Jin was Wang Jin's apprentice, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Xu is just itchy, so he and Brother Shi Jin will make a few moves!" ”
Xu Ning is a few years younger than Wang Jin, and they are both best friends. When I saw Wang Jin's apprentice today, I had the heart to teach.
Shi Jin had long heard of Lin Chong and Xu Ning's names, and he had the intention of asking the two for advice. Wang Lun invited Xu Ning for him, which happened to fulfill his thoughts.
This will be Xu Ning and Shi Jin, but the competition is weapons. Shi Jin used the spear he was good at, while Xu Ning used a big knife.
After all, Shi Jin is a fledgling, and he is cautious about Xu Ning. Xu Ning took a fancy to Shi Jin's dexterity, and intended to be on demand, but only defended and did not attack. One is a fierce general who fights on the battlefield, and the other is a strong hand who practices martial arts diligently. In the blink of an eye, the two walked more than a dozen rounds.
Lin Chong knows Xu Ning's martial arts very well, and when he looks at Shi Jin's martial arts at this time, he also knows it in his heart. Secretly said that this son's martial arts should have the success of six or seven of Wang Jiaotou's strength, which shows that Wang Jiaotou's teaching intentions.
Although Shi Jin is proficient in martial arts, he is still a line behind the army generals like Xu Ning. After more than 20 rounds, he gradually defended more and attacked less.
Although Xu Ning did not use a hook sickle gun, the big knife also had similarities with the hook sickle gun, which was also very handy.
"Haha, happy! Brother Shi is good martial arts! Seeing that Shi Jin had fallen into a disadvantage, and after another one, the surname swept away the spear handed over by Shi Jin with a knife and jumped out of the battle group.
Playing against a master like Xu Ning, Shi Jin benefited a lot. "The elder brother has good means, and the younger brother has an axe."
Lin Chong took a fancy to Shi Jin's skills very much, and said to Shi Jin on the field: "Brother, don't be modest, your martial arts are very rare, even if you are a general of the three armies!" ”
Saying that, Lin Chong took a big gun and practiced in the field. Not to mention that Xu Ning and Shi Jin used long weapons, even Li Kui and Yan Qing also looked straight at each other.
Shi Jin had also seen his master Wang Lun practicing martial arts on weekdays, and he couldn't help but quietly compare Lin Chong with him, and secretly said that the two were on par.
Wang Lun was fascinated by Shi Jin and patiently explained to him, "Brother Lin is also a disciple of Mr. Zhou Dong. Mr. Zhou was in charge of the Royal Boxing Gym, summed up the experience of his predecessors, and created a set of Heshuo big guns. It is a white wax gun with two long zhang, accustomed to borrowing strength, its marksmanship is tricky and weird, often killing in impossible places, attacking and defending as a whole, it can be said to be a set of internal gunnery. ”
"This kind of gunnery, if it is among the ten thousand armies, can give full play to its strengths, borrow strength everywhere, take advantage of the trend, and the gun speed is getting faster and faster, which is impossible to prevent. It's just that this marksmanship requires a lot of talent, and Mr. Zhou passed it on. Lu Yuanwai and Brother Lin can enter the house, Zhou Yunqing and Erlang are only getting a glimpse of the door now. "The Lu Yuanwai that Wang Lun said is Lu Junyi, and Erlang is Wang Xin.
In fact, Wang Lun didn't know that there was another person who had learned this set of marksmanship, and that was Shi Wengong, a teacher in Zengtou City. Back then, Zhou Tong only passed on this set of marksmanship to Lu Junyi and Lin Chong, Shi Wengong was not angry, and took advantage of the fact that only Zhou Yunqing was at home to steal the boxing and marksmanship, and now he has learned it a long time ago.
Zhou Tong has been looking for this traitor for several years, and this year he got the news from Wang Lun and went to Zengtou City with his son Zhou Yunqing.
Lin Chong was rare today, and after playing with a set of spears, he played another knife technique before he stopped.
"Brother, you also come up and practice a few tricks!" Lin Chong put down the long knife and wanted Wang Lun to come up and practice as well.
Wang Lun didn't, patted his belly and said: "It's time to eat at this time, let's fill our belly first!" ”
"Good! Today, let the insider make a new 'Dongpo elbow' for you! Lin Chong looked at Wang Lun and nodded vigorously, and said not without showing off.
'Dongpo Elbow' Wang Lun had enjoyed it in later generations, and he didn't want to be able to eat this famous dish at this time, so he was surprised.
According to legend, once Su Dongpo's wife Wang Fu was stewing elbows at home due to a moment of negligence, the elbows were browned and sticky to the pot, she hurriedly added various ingredients and cooked them carefully to hide the burnt taste.
Unexpectedly, the yellowish elbow tasted unexpectedly good, and Su Dongpo was suddenly happy. Su Dongpo not only repeatedly concocted it himself, and left a record, but also vigorously promoted it to relatives and friends, so the "Dongpo elbow" was passed on.
Lin Chong's father-in-law, Zhang Jiaotou, was not far from Lin Mansion, and Lin Chong was the most filial and called Zhang Jiaotou to eat and drink with everyone.
This feast will only be dispersed in the evening.
Mrs. Lin wanted to go back to her parents' house to stay for a few days, but Zhang Jiaotou did not allow it, and Lin Chong personally sent it back. Yan Qing said goodbye to everyone and went to Fan Lou. Shi Jin was sent out by Wang Lun to find Yang Lin back.
Only Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong were left in the Lin Mansion, and the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the two cooked tea and talked at night.
The two reminisced about the past and the present, talked about the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and talked about the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. The Han Empire attacked the Xiongnu in the north, Yidi in the south, expanded the sea in the east, and pressed the 36 countries in the west, which was for the Han people! The Tang Dynasty is prosperous, expanding its territory for thousands of miles, and all countries are coming to the dynasty, which is for the Tang people!
And now the Great Song Dynasty, strong outside and dry in the middle, has nothing to show for it, the western Tubo is divided, and the Western Xia is crowned king; The Liao State in the north occupies the sixteen states of Yanyun and enslaves the people of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years! What a shame!
These are all earlier, and now there is another enemy quietly rising, this is the Jurchen that Wang Lun never forgets!
The foreign situation at that time was that the Khitan ruled almost the entire vast area north of the Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty court had always attached importance to frontier diplomacy. Fu Bi, the prime minister of Song Renzong, pointed out in the "Twelve Strategies for Guarding the Emperor in Hebei" presented to the emperor: "Today, the Khitan committed suicide to serve Zhufan, such as Yuan Hao, Uighur, Goryeo, Jurchen, Bohai, Gangjak, Tiele, Heishui Jin, Murowei, Tatar, Xixi, etc., the weak have all their land, and the strong have their tribute. “
Zeng Gongliang et al. wrote "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", in "Border Defense? "Beifandi" is attached to "Xi, Bohai, Jurchen": its understanding of the situation is: "Those who are now attached to the Khitan are mature Jurchens, and they are placed in 18 states...... Living on three sides of Tokyo, all of them are named after overseas Chinese, with thousands of households in each state and more than 100 households. Those who do not obey according to the mountains and forests are called born Jurchen. "In the national defense strategy of the Song Dynasty, the Jurchens were among them.
"Last year, I went from Hedong and Hebei. Then he went to Youyun and other places, until Liaodong and Tieli. Xu Guanzhong immediately opened the chatterbox, "The Great Song Dynasty is full of literature and martial arts, and the people don't think about war, while the Jurchens are cunning and cunning, brave and good at fighting, just as Brother Wang said, his henchmen are in great trouble!" ”
Wang Lun didn't want his words to make Xu Guanzhong change like this. "Brother Xu saw it with his own eyes, and he should know that what Wang said is true! The Great Song Dynasty is already terminally ill, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will not destroy the country and exterminate the species! ”
What Wang Lun said was very serious, and Xu Guanzhong also saw it with his own eyes in the north and deeply agreed. "As Brother Wang said, Xu can't care about staying out of the matter!"
In fact, Xu Guan is the most carefree person who likes to be unrestrained. He also has martial arts on him, and in the original book, he will win a martial arts champion if he is extremely bored. But now he knows the status of the Great Song Dynasty warriors, and he is soft-spoken. If you want to change, you can only get into the office, so you participated in the imperial examination.
"The chaos in the world has been decided, and we have no power to change it, the only thing we can do is to make the people in the world suffer less." Wang Lun knew that Xu Guanzhong was also a man of temperament, and regarded him as a close friend. I also know that Xu Guanzhong has a compassionate mind and can share great things with him. Taking a deep breath, Wang Lun looked at Xu Guanzhong steadily, "Brother Xu has the heart to fight a peaceful world with me!" ”
