Lin Chong looked at the happy Zhao Gou with a smile, and he was really happy in his heart, thinking: "Since his foundation is almost complete, it shouldn't be much of a problem to start teaching him how to use weapons." At the beginning, the teacher once said that if the foundation of martial arts training is not solid, when it is really time to face the enemy, you will miss the slightest mistake. ”

Zhao Gou was overjoyed, he had been waiting for this day for a long time. At the beginning, he decided to abandon literature and martial arts in order to learn how to use weapons as soon as possible. Although he knew that the basic skills of martial arts were very important, he just felt that there was no time. Therefore, I am very anxious and want to learn how to use weapons in a hurry.

However, Zhao Gou didn't know that he was in a hurry, eager to learn how to use weapons, and finally paid a painful price before he started practicing from the basics again, and his martial arts made great progress.

The next day, Lin Chong and Zhao Gou got up early, and Zhao Gou followed Lin Chong to live all the time, and he was used to his living habits, and he needed morning exercises every day. Lin Chong is proficient in all eighteen weapons, sweating like rain; Zhao Gou kept practicing the basic skills, pressing the legs, tying the horse steps, step by step.

Even if Lin Chong promised Zhao Gou to teach him the use of weapons, he would not let him ignore the practice of basic skills, and the practice of basic skills was still going on every morning. An hour later, the muscles and bones of both of them were stretched, and Lin Chong wiped the sweat from his forehead; Zhao Gou was also panting and panting, looking at Lin Chong longingly.

Lin Chong drank a cup of tea and said directly: "Go'er, do you know what weapon I'm best at?" ”

"Spear!" Zhao Gou replied loudly without hesitation.

Lin Chong was surprised: "How do you know that what you are best at as a teacher is marksmanship?" ”

"Because your screen image in the later generations is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the Fengxue Mountain Temple, that move of marksmanship is really a ghost crying god, how can you not know that your most powerful is marksmanship, and even several wars have used spears, so it should be marksmanship."

Zhao Gou secretly thought that it was impossible for him to really tell the truth, and hurriedly said: "Every day when the master has to practice in the morning, he will use eighteen weapons, and the one that is used the least is the spear. It's not because the master's marksmanship is not good, but to the point of perfection, very handy, every move and every style is like a peer cloud, even when the master wields a stick, there is a bit of marksmanship. ”

Lin Chong couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard Zhao Gou's analysis, the two of them had been together for several months, and Zhao Gou could see what he was best at. Moreover, what Zhao Gou said seems to be the same, but it is still true. Every time he exercised in the morning, Lin Chong would wield other weapons, and the spear was used the least, not because he didn't understand marksmanship, but because he was so familiar that he could see the marksmanship when he used a stick.

Each time you use a different weapon, you just want to integrate your marksmanship into other weapons, and use your marksmanship through other weapons. However, Zhao Gou actually saw it, which made him a little unbelievable. After being stunned for a long time, Lin Chong nodded and said: "You are right, what I am best at is marksmanship, any weapon can be turned into a spear in my hands, but the marksmanship will change, and the daily morning exercise is to train my marksmanship, so that it can reach the point of perfection, and it will be so hard to practice as a teacher." ”

"Any weapon can be used in my hands, whether it is a broadsword, a hammer, a stick, etc., and the most effective weapon for the division is a spear. At the beginning, the martial arts taught by the master were also marksmanship, and thanks to the master, my marksmanship has today's realm. ”

"When two armies fight, it is not your martial arts skills that will definitely defeat the enemy. If there is a big difference in the number of friends and enemies, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. Even if it is one enemy and a hundred, or the spear is the most popular among the soldiers, there are also some generals who use broadswords, Fang Tian painted halberds, gilt hammers, etc. ”

"No matter what kind of weapon, when the two armies face each other and the soldiers fight, they should respect the spear. Even a long sword can't match it. The broadsword is wielded, and it takes a lot of strength; The long sword assassination is not as good as the big knife, and it can only be a weapon used by the knights of the rivers and lakes; Fang Tian's halberd is only the best used by Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms; Sledgehammers were only the most popular in the pre-Tang Dynasty, and some generals also used axes, but most of the famous generals in history used spears, but spears were long and short, and their power and attack methods were different. ”

"The teacher focuses on the use of marksmanship, as for the knife technique, Fang Tian's halberd and other weapons, the teacher can only be regarded as knowing the fur, not proficient. If my master is here, maybe you can learn how to use other weapons. However, if you want to practice marksmanship well, it is not simply enough, because I am not good at riding and shooting, otherwise I can teach you the art of riding and shooting, and now I can only teach you marksmanship. ”

Zhao Gou watched intently as Lin Chong picked out the spear and listened attentively. Lin Chong continued: "This weapon is not a spear, but a Zhangba snake spear, the weight of the spear is heavier than the spear, the hardness of the rod is also relatively hard, it does not have the softness of the spear, and the moves are mainly based on thorns. However, after years of study, the spear is no different from a spear. ”

"The most famous person who used the Zhangba snake spear in history was Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms period, which was the Lin family gun handed down by the master, and after being changed, it could also exert the same power. However, in history, most of the truly famous generals were still spear-based, so it was not the Zhangba snake spear that the teacher taught you, but marksmanship. ”

"Nowadays, there are Jin, Liao, Xixia and other countries in the border of the Great Song Dynasty, even if you are just a common man of the Great Song Dynasty, you should be loyal and patriotic. Therefore, it is taught in marksmanship so that you can use it in battle. In addition, in the Great Song Dynasty, there is only 'Yang family gun' in terms of marksmanship, but I don't know where it spreads. ”

Zhao Gou echoed: "Yang's gun? ”

"That's right, Yang family gun!" Lin Chong sighed deeply and said: "Back then, during the reign of Taizong, General Yang Wuving guarded the border with a Yang family gun and marksmanship, which made the Liao State frightened, and then unfortunately suffered from the traitor and died in a foreign land. In the end, the son and grandson of General Yang Wuving were loyal to the country for three generations, and the third generation of General Yang Wenguang died on the road before he could show his skills, burying his bones in a foreign country. ”

Zhao Gou lowered his head and pondered, and secretly thought: "Could it be that the Yang family in the future generations will be different from history?" Why is there so little record of the Yang family in the history books? I learned from the master's mouth that Yang Wenguang is the grandson of Yang Jiye, could it be that the policy of the Great Song Dynasty has changed, even if he has the talent of the commander, he cannot get the trust of the emperor and has no real power? ”

Lin Chong caught a glimpse of Zhao Gou bowing his head and pondering, thinking that he was also feeling heartache for Yang Linggong's deeds, and he was also silent. After a while, Lin Chong began to really teach Zhao Gou Lin's marksmanship, but he was weak and it was still early to wield the gun stick. Therefore, Lin Chong asked Zhao Gou to improve his hand strength and the strength of his whole body, which required a lot of practice every day.

In order to train Zhao Gou's hand, Lin Chong set up a wooden stake in the courtyard, as well as a shaking wooden stake, in order to use cinnabar to dot the red mark on the wooden stake and do everything, he used an ash rod, which is the material for making a spear, and made a small gun shaft for him. Moreover, Zhao Gou was ordered to swing it hundreds of times a day, constantly attacking towards the red seal.

Zhao Gou clutched the ash rod every day, and was forced by Lin Chong to swing it hundreds of times a day. Since the first month, Zhao Gou's hands have already been cocooned, and he still has to continue practicing. Then he continued to practice every month, from hundreds to thousands of times, every time Zhao Gou was so tired that he lay down, and he had to exercise in the morning, and he had to increase his strength, that is, he kept lifting stones, from more than a dozen catties to dozens of catties, and increased by five catties, until he had been tempered for two years.

At this time, Zhao Gou was already five years old, and his height was much taller than ordinary children. Today, he has long been accustomed to the process of practicing marksmanship every day. Lin Chong looked at Zhao Gou's progress little by little, and felt a little comforted in his heart, he thought that Zhao Gou had long been unable to stand his own training.

Although he is the commander of the forbidden army, even in the army, he is not so strict. At that time, he became the commander of the forbidden army because he wanted to show what he had learned and teach the soldiers their own martial arts. It's just that those soldiers can't start from a young age, they are all halfway monks, and some can't even do the basics, which makes him very depressed.

At the beginning, Lin Chong stubbornly followed the holy decree to teach Zhao Gou martial arts, thinking that Zhao Gou would definitely not be able to endure this hardship, and he would definitely give up automatically. Unexpectedly, no matter how hard and tired Zhao Gou was, he didn't say to give up, and supported him hard. Lin Chong couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw Zhao Gou's perseverance, and thought to himself: "It's not easy to receive such strict training at such a young age. ”

Lin Chong didn't know what Zhao Gou was thinking, and he didn't know why Zhao Gou was so insistent. If it weren't for the fact that it was not for the fate of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou would not be willing to bear too many things. At the beginning, Zhao Gou walked from the underworld and returned to the Great Song Dynasty again, and he was able to start again, and the opportunity he finally seized could not be wasted.

No matter how hard or tired he was, Zhao Gou never gave up. When he decided to abandon the military force, the trajectory of history had already changed. Zhao Gou deeply knew that his strength was very weak, he was really forced to be helpless, the political disorder in the DPRK and China, his father and emperor were immersed in the world of calligraphy and painting, as a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and a descendant of the Zhao family, he was unwilling to give thousands of miles of rivers and mountains from under his nose, even if Song Huizong did not have any political talent, resulting in chaos in the dynasty, Zhao Ji was still his father in Zhao Gou's heart.

As a son of man, there are certain responsibilities that have to be shouldered. However, no one could have imagined that Zhao Gou was worried about the country and the people, loyal to the monarch and patriotic; Song Huizong Zhao Ji was also worried about Zhao Gou's martial arts practice, and he had to listen to Zhao Gou's situation every once in a while. From the moment Zhao Gou practiced martial arts, Song Huizong knew everything well.

"Brother Huang, the perseverance of Go'er, I can see that the younger brothers are a little moved, I really don't know how he can endure such strict training at such a young age and such a small body."

Song Huizong heard his younger brother's sigh, did not reply, and said in a low voice: "Thirteenth brother, Goo'er's martial arts have made great progress, but his martial arts foundation is not stable, what should I do?" If it really comes to a moment of crisis, and the slightest mistake is a thousand miles, doesn't Lin Chong know? ”

Zhao Yi nodded and said: "Brother Chen is also worried about this, with Lin Chong's martial arts, it is impossible for him not to know the importance of the basic skills of martial arts, he should not be so confused, there must be other methods." Now, it has been three years since Gou'er practiced by Lin Chong's side, and a few months is four years, and in the opinion of his younger brother, Gou'er should also be successful in his studies, and he will return to the Dao Palace in the near future. ”

"yes!" Song Huizong stood up, looked out the window at the snow-white, cold wind, and sighed: "Time flies so fast, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and there is still half a year to go to the days when the child will be four years old." Not long ago, Go'er just celebrated his sixth birthday, but he didn't expect that a few months would pass in a flash. ”

Zhao seemed to be silent for a moment, and said: "Brother Huang, Go'er's martial arts have made great progress, and the younger brother admits that in front of the master, he is still vulnerable, and the fire is not in place." What's next? ”

Song Huizong turned around and smiled: "Thirteenth brother, there are some things that I don't say, although I am the king of a country, there are many things that I can't help myself. Since I and you both know that the foundation of Gou'er's martial arts is not very strong, then Lin Chong, as a teacher, will definitely find a way to solve it, and then we will adapt to the situation, and everything can only depend on Gou'er himself. ”

"Now, Go'er is six years old, and after the tempering of martial arts, he has become more mature in his mind, and he must have his own ideas. I am his father, you are his uncle, there are some things we should not interfere with. If we intervene again, it will not be conducive to his future growth, so let him do everything. Otherwise, how should I play this scene? Is that right? ”

Zhao seemed to be staring at Song Huizong, the two looked at each other and laughed, and said, "Since this is the case, then let's wait and see!" ”
