Yang Hu is very tall, probably inheriting the genes of his mother Yang Qing'er and his maternal grandfather Yang Zhu, which is obviously much higher than Zhuang Ping. Zhuang Ping and Zhuang Geng both inherited the genes of Zhuangzi and Mai'er, and they are not tall and very sturdy.

Since the children are sensible, no! After they both learned to walk, Zhuangzi and Mai'er took the time to teach their children to practice martial arts.

In this era of cold weapons, martial arts training is the same as reading books in modern society, which is the most basic survival skill. If a modern person does not study and is illiterate, he is basically a wasted person. Even if they learn the clumsiest trades and trades, their lives are much more difficult than those who have studied.

In modern society, the majority of illiterate people who do not have education are at the bottom of the social ladder. Only a few people who are illiterate have made a career, and the number of this few people is too small.

In the era of cold weapons, people who don't know martial arts have a particularly high chance of accidental death.

Yang Hu may also have inherited the genes of his mother-in-law Yang Qing'er and his maternal grandfather Yang Zhu, and is a prodigy who practices martial arts. Zhuangzi taught him once or a few times, and the little one would be fine. Zhuang Ping and Zhuang Geng are obviously inferior to Yang Hu in terms of martial arts.

So! Zhuangzi likes Yanghu from the bottom of his heart.

Mai'er not only taught the twin sisters embroidery, but also taught her own martial arts, Taoist Natural Boxing.

Taoist natural boxing, which is later known as Taijiquan, was created by Zhuangzi and perfected by the black-clothed senior brother, beggar half, beggar and other people, and belonged to Taoist martial arts.

Taoist martial arts natural boxing, which is later Taijiquan, although it was created by Zhuangzi according to the Taoist mental method, and was perfected by the black-clothed senior brother, beggar half, and beggar three, it can be started from the first generation, that is, women.

It was passed on by Zhuangzi, the black-clothed brother, the beggar half, and the beggar to sell the son, and then the twin daughters, and later the daughters. And also! Later, he taught his daughter-in-law the natural boxing. So! Most of the disciples were women. So! Later generations of Tai Chi were known for their softness.

Zhuangzi not only taught his sons martial arts, but also taught them the ability to survive in the wild, often taking them to the wild to hunt and fish in the river. Nature! Teach his sons to swim as well. These! They are the most basic survival skills of human beings.

In this troubled world, you can not learn the rest, these basic survival skills, you must learn.

As the sons grew up, both Zhuangzi and Mai'er were particularly worried. Once the son reaches the age of military service, will he go to military service as well?

His family's taxes are exempted, and there is also a fief in the Mo family's altar. But? Will military service be exempted?

According to the practice of the Song State and other vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, military service was unavoidable for anyone.

It's different! Civilians who perform military service are ordinary military service, and they are meant to go to war. And the hereditary nobility and the privileged people served in the military, and they served the same privileged military service and did not need to go to the battlefield.

Military service cannot be avoided, but! Can engage in classes that are not dangerous. For example! You can be in charge of logistics, you can be in charge of transporting food and grass, you can not go to the front. But! When war comes, there is no distinction between the front line and the rear line. Sometimes! The army responsible for transporting food and grass is more dangerous than going to the battlefield, and there is always a possibility of being attacked by the enemy.

And also! Young people often do not know the height of the sky, ignore the instructions of their parents and elders, and insist on going to the front line to kill the enemy. That's it! The sons of hereditary nobles and privileged families are the same as the sons of commoners.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is 333 BC, the thirty-sixth year of King Xian of Zhou, the twenty-fourth year of King Qi Wei, the seventh year of King Chu Wei, and the age of Zhuang Zhou is 37 years old.

At the end of winter this year, the day of the spring ploughing festival is approaching, and there are guests in Zhuangzi's house.

The people who came were the same as last time, they came to do straw sandals. It's still the same as last time, pay the deposit first. This! Not ten taels of gold, but a box full of gold, silver, jewelry, and jade.

Zhuangzi was surprised before learning the truth.

Originally! These two are not in the straw sandal business, but! The envoys sent by King Chu Wei were specially here to give him big gifts.

Why did King Chu Wei give Zhuangzi a big gift again?

In those days when information was not developed, information transmission was quite slow. But! For Zhuangzi, there is no difficulty. As soon as he noticed, the news was quick.

Originally! King Chu Wei did not forget Zhuangzi's kindness.

When King Chu Wei had just inherited the throne, he recruited great talents from all over the world to help him govern the Chu State. He once sent two envoys to the Song State with a large amount of money and hired Zhuangzi to go to the Chu State as the prime minister. But Zhuangzi was unwilling to be an official and refused. But! Zhuangzi did not completely refuse, and the six relatives did not recognize it. But! Offered a strategy to King Chu Wei.

That is: conquering Wu and Yue to set up the Southern Barbarians, forming an alliance with the Qin State to set aside the lost territory of Shangzhou, forming alliances with other princes, and a series of strategies.

After the two envoys of that year left the bride price and went back, they truthfully explained a series of strategies of Zhuangzi. After a long period of deliberation and discussion with his ministers, King Chu Wei decided to follow Zhuangzi's strategy.

Therefore! King Chu Wei finally found an opportunity, conquered the Yue Kingdom, killed the Yue King Wujiang, and took the territory of the former Wu State occupied by the Yue Kingdom, so that the territory of the Chu State extended all the way to the coast of Zhejiang. Then it expanded to the north and defeated the Qi army.

The current territory of Chu State starts from Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain and Wuling Mountain in the west, reaches the sea in the east, starts from Wuling in the south, and reaches Ru, Ying, Yi and Si in the north, including the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River basin with many tributaries.

Chu! Re-emerge as a hegemon.

King Chu Wei did this in just seven years, in addition to being a generation of Ming monarchs himself, but also inseparable from the strategy given to him by Zhuangzi. Let's be honest! If Zhuangzi hadn't persuaded him not to compete with Qin for the land of Shangzhou, if he insisted on going to war with Qin, the current Chu State might be even worse than Wei.

The king asked? Conquer the Song Kingdom, okay? After identifying themselves, the two envoys explained their intentions.

King Chu Wei wanted to destroy several small vassal states such as Song State and Wei State in one fell swoop. But considering that Zhuangzi was a native of the Song Dynasty, he had to come over to ask Zhuangzi's opinion.

"No!" When Zhuangzi heard this, he stood up in fright.

"This?" The envoys were also embarrassed. As for whether King Chu Wei really wanted to destroy the Song Kingdom and other small countries, he didn't know.

"The state of Chu has gained so much territory, and it can't fight anymore for the time being. If you fight again, it will be bad for the Chu State! ......," Zhuangzi explained.

"May it be auspicious!"

Seeing Zhuangzi's explanation, the two envoys hurriedly left their seats and kowtowed to Zhuangzi.

"Get up! Get up! ”

"We have come to ask for advice at the behest of the king, so kneel! Kneel! The two envoys explained.

"The king should first stabilize the territory, recuperate, and give benefits to the people, so that the people can feel the king's kindness. And then! Conscription, training. Although the state of Chu has won battles one after another, but! If you kill 10,000 enemies, you will inevitably lose 3,000 yourself. So! When we recuperate, let the bereaved family feel at peace and enjoy family happiness......"
