The late Qing Dynasty was the prosperous era of Chinese martial arts, and the martial arts of later generations became nondescript for various reasons and degenerated into a performance game, which is really a sorrow in the martial arts world.

The Zhili Province where Young Master Liang is now located is Hebei Province in later generations, which can be called the hometown of Chinese martial arts. Xingyi, Bagua, Tai Chi, Baji and other martial arts schools prevailed in Zhili Province. It is now the eighth year of Tongzhi, and the famous Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan are still alive; Li Luoneng, the master of Xingyi Boxing, and his disciples Liu Qilan, Liu Xiaolan, Che Yonghong, and Guo Yunshen are still alive;

Young Master Liang wants to make friends with these martial arts masters, it is best to learn some kung fu from them, but how can I contact these masters, at this time, China is inconvenient, there is basically no contact between Zhili and Guangdong, and there is no communication between the masters of the two places. And Young Master Liang didn't have enough time to search for these masters.

Young Master Liang recalled that the Central Guoshu Academy was held during the Republic of China, and many famous masters of Guoshu were invited, which became a major event in the martial arts world, so why not do it himself?

However, the current national conditions are different from those of the Republic of China. During the Republic of China, China was bullied by foreign powers, and the Chinese people were ridiculed by foreigners as the sick man of East Asia, and the Chinese people were deeply ashamed, and the martial arts world was even more angry. The current Qing Dynasty still hangs the hat of a big country, and it has not yet reached the point of being humiliated by others, and it is unlikely that the martial artists of the whole country will gather together.

Then hang a sign of the Chinese Guoshu Research Institute, so that it can attract some famous Guoshu experts to come, and it will not be banned by the Qing court. The Chinese Academy of Chinese Guoshu can set up branches in Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and as for the general institute, it can only be located in the base of Liang Jiajun on Qiongzhou Island, but this general institute must be classified as confidential, after all, Liang Jiajun has not yet reached the point of openness.

Before leaving Baoding, Young Master Liang asked Zhao Liewen to take care of the Chinese Guoshu Research Institute that was being established, which can be regarded as indirectly reporting to the government, I believe that with the face of the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, no one on the ground in North China will interfere.

The return journey was much faster than the way back, Young Master Liang took a boat directly from Tianjin to Guangzhou, no longer having to stay in Shanghai, while Rong Hong took a passenger ferry from Tianjin to Shanghai.

On the way from Baoding to Tianjin, the two discussed a lot about the preparation of the preparatory school for studying abroad; According to the original history, the Shanghai Preparatory School for Study Abroad lasted for one year, enrolling students between the ages of 11 and 13, and all of them were sent to the United States to study after one year of study. Because few families were willing to send their schoolchildren to study in a foreigner country thousands of miles away, and they could not return to China to take the imperial examination after completing their studies, that is to say, the knowledge of foreigners was still not recognized by the Chinese people, and this situation was incomparable with the rush of later generations to study in the United States. Historically, in order to fill each batch of 40 people, three batches of a total of 120 people, Rong Hong was unable to recruit a lot of people, so he finally went to Hong Kong and recruited many students from Hong Kong's Western-style primary schools to fill the 120 people.

Now Master Liang has adopted thousands of orphans, and with these orphans, he is not afraid of not being able to recruit schoolchildren. Therefore, Master Liang suggested that the preparatory school should be increased to two years, and that students should be enrolled every year, and that the direction of studying abroad should be increased to Germany (Prussia at this time). Among the European and American countries, the United States and Germany are the first to attach importance to education, which has also been verified in later generations, and the national strength of these two countries is also in the forefront of the world in later generations, which also proves the importance of education for national development.

The duration of the school is changed to two years, and the enrollment is perennial; Modeled after the curriculum of Morrison School in Hong Kong, students can learn some basic knowledge of Western-style schools, and foreign language teaching teaches English and German respectively, so that students can adapt faster to study abroad, and can also screen out students with bright minds and healthy bodies to study abroad, which can also ensure that young children can achieve better results in studying abroad; The selected students with relatively poor grades can be sent to technical schools, so that they can learn a trade, and they can also have the ability to support their families in the future.

In the future, Rong Hong will be responsible for the study of schoolchildren in the United States, and Liang Sibao will take Liang Zhuang to take charge of studying in Germany in Germany; It's better to bloom at both ends than to stand alone.

When I returned to Guangzhou, I reported to the old man Liang about the engagement with the Zeng family, and the old man smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, the Liang family and the Zeng family got married, which was absolutely beneficial to the Liang family, and in the future, the scholars of the Liang family participated in the imperial examination, or the Liang family in the officialdom, they all had a big backer. In the traditional thinking of the Chinese, everything is inferior, only reading is high, which means that the reader can finally step into the officialdom and become a big official (this kind of thinking is still deeply rooted in later generations), of course, the reader who cannot enter the official arena without merit is not respected.

Young Master Liang didn't care about this, he turned around and went to his fifth uncle Liang Haowen to inquire about the recruitment of personnel in the navy, and only by training a strong navy can he be dominant in this era, so he has a pass to participate in the colonial feast.

"Sihan, your kid has been out for a long time this time, I'm so busy that I can't stand it", people are three pounds fat for the New Year, but Liang Haowen is busy for several pounds.

"Fifth Uncle has worked hard, how are the naval personnel recruited?"

"The navy is full, and those British instructors are taking them to the Sanya base; Now I am busy with the affairs of the army, Master Huang and Master Liang have recruited too many people this time, there are more than 40,000 people on the Qiongzhou base, and a total of 12 cottages have been expanded in the mountain, adding up to 30,000 people; Now they are barely able to live, and it will definitely not work for a long time, especially in the summer, so we have to hurry up and expand the army base; I have already asked Master Huang and Master Liang to come back and suspend the recruitment of new recruits, otherwise how could I be busy alone? Moreover, there is a serious shortage of officers in the army, and you are still responsible for the training of recruits, and we can't handle so many recruits", Liang Haowen said a lot of words.

"It's okay, I'm not back, I'm in charge of the training of recruits, and I'm in charge of the training of the army and navy; I am also responsible for the formation of the various formations of the troops; Fifth uncle, you are responsible for the construction of each base, as well as the logistics supply of the base, we don't have seventy or eighty thousand recruits, they are all good laborers who can work, let the brothers of the engineer battalion take them to cooperate with you, let them participate in the construction of the base first, the base is everyone's home, and everyone will work together; Master Huang is responsible for inspecting various bases and cottages, and Master Liang is responsible for the discipline of the troops with the military police regiment. ”

Young Master Liang divided the work between three and five by two, Liang Haowen immediately nodded in agreement, so that he could finally take a break, it seems that this boss is really not easy to be, this time can worry about him, the key is that the pressure is too great.

The uncle and nephew immediately went their separate ways, and each took a group of people to help.
