Sun Lutang's experience is completely different from Huo Yuanjia's, this person first learned art under the boxer Li Kuiyuan, but soon Li Kuiyuan felt that Sun Lutang was talented, and he was afraid that it would affect Sun's future growth, so he recommended it to his teacher Guo Yunshen. Guo was already a grandmaster-level figure of Xingyi Quan at this time. Under Guo's tutelage, Sun quickly mastered the essence of Xingyiquan. Later, Guo asked Sun to go out on a trip. Sun then went out and finally came to Beijing City, where he studied art with Cheng Tinghua, the master of the Bagua Gate. Soon, Cheng Tinghua thought that Sun had already encountered a bottleneck and would not make much progress behind closed doors, so he sent him out to travel. Sun visited the north and south, Shaolin Wudang Emei, and all the sects in various places, and there were almost no defeats in the whole process. Then he returned to his hometown to teach boxing. During this period, he competed with others many times, and he was also undefeated. In 1898, before his death, Guo Yunshen of Xingyi Quan awarded Mr. Sun the "Explanation of Xingyi Quan Sutra" to recognize Mr. Sun as a descendant of Guo. This is especially important. Because the ancient boxers are the most important inheritance. For example, although Sun learned Xingyiquan, but was not recognized, then Sun could not claim to have obtained the inheritance of Xingyiquan in public, let alone be said to be the successor of Xingyiquan. Otherwise, it is a taboo.

It was not until 1912 that Sun met the master of Taiji, Hao Weizhen, to teach Taijiquan. And Sun's later martial arts are known as Sun's Taiji. It is known as "the tiger's head is less safe, the first hand in the world." It was in 1907, when there was a big competition in Beijing, and Sun Li defeated the leaders and took the lead.

Sun's title of the world's first in the world is not blown out by his protégé or friends, but really played. Sun began with his first travels and ended with his death. It has encountered countless challenges and almost no defeats. It's proof. Like Wong Kar-wai's generation of grandmasters, Ip Man competed with many people, and the results of defeating this situation one by one are actually just artistic exaggerations. Although Ye's martial arts are high, they are still inferior to Sun or Li Shuwen, Huo Yuanjia and others. The difference here is not only in martial arts, but in terms of martial arts realm.

And Huo Yuanjia later competed with British boxers, and also invited Sun to press him down. What does it mean to press the array? Ordinary people don't quite understand. The meaning of pressing the formation is to protect a kind of back hand of the boxer. That is to say, the people who press the formation are generally higher than the martial arts and prestige of the warriors. Otherwise, if the contest fails and the opponent continues to provoke, the person who presses the formation will have to make a move. If the crushing person loses again. Then the one who is disgraced is not the boxer of the competition. The most humiliating thing is the pressure man.

Sun Lutang's martial arts have been recognized by countless masters in 1898. For example, Cheng Tinghua once told his disciples: "(Sun) is amazing! One of a kind! ”

Huo Yuanjia thinks that he is not as good as Sun Lutang, which is also based on this. At least he didn't think he could beat Cheng Tinghua. Because at this time, Huo Yuanjia's Lost Trace Fist had not really taken shape.

Hu Xiaoyan listened to Huo Yuanjia's explanation, and his heart couldn't help but move. There are traces of his assassination, but he is reluctant to use the map in his mind, so he ignores some of the warnings.

Ever since he was almost killed by the big dog, he no longer believes in pie in the sky. Even dropping a pie can be poisonous. This is also the reason why he likes to say the most in every speech: "There is no love for no reason and no hate for no reason in the world". Whether it is the Bible, Chinese Taoism, or Buddhism, it is actually very clear.

It's not always a good thing to have a ring fall from the sky and then a white-bearded grandfather. Because energy is conserved. When God opens a door for you, He also closes a window for you. You got the guidance of the old man and became the best in the world. But then maybe what you lose is your life. Because only your life is worth the old man's contribution.

Hu Xiaoyan doesn't believe that the maps and translators in his mind are completely harmless. It's like**. It has been used as an analgesic in Chinese medicine for a long time, and it is a good medicine from a medical point of view. But taking too much can lead to drug addiction, which is harmful from this point of view.

Map translators and so on can be used, but Hu someone will definitely not need it. But his strength was too weak, so he had to use it in limited quantities.

After listening to Huo Yuanjia's words, he felt that he could completely learn martial arts and reduce the use of map reminders.

There are exchanges between the martial arts circles in Tianjin and Beijing, so Huo Yuanjia is quite clear about what is happening in the martial arts world in Beijing. I may have communicated with Sun Lutang.

So Hu Xiaoyan asked embarrassedly: "If I want to apprentice to Master Sun, what does Huo Daxia think?" ”

Huo Yuanjia smiled nonchalantly when he heard this: "It should be feasible, but are you sure you have time to learn martial arts?" ”

Hu Xiaoyan was dumbfounded, stretched out his fingers and counted his plans, and suddenly found that his time was very urgent, maybe three days to learn martial arts, two days to dry the net?

"Huo Daxia is not angry?" Hu Xiaoyan put down his hand depressedly.

"Me? My martial arts are not for you. Huo Yuanjia replied seriously. Huo Yuanjia's Lost Trace Boxing is one in the pace, and the other is in the boxing. Like Chen Zhen in the movie Jet Li, Chen Zhen used small steps back and forth to confuse Huo Diange, and then defeat him, which is impossible in the real world. If someone dares to do this in front of Huo Yuanjia's heirs, it can only be death. Because of the next plate. China's martial arts are the heaviest. If the game is unstable, ten successful husbands can only use five or six points. And the small broken step looks very handsome, but there is no support for the next plate. Chen Zhen's foundation is oriental martial arts, and he can still defeat Huo Diange in this way, so it can only be Chen Zhen possessed by immortals, or the effect of the protagonist's aura.

Huo Yuanjia said that Lost Trace Boxing is not suitable for Hu Xiaoyan, because although Hu Xiaoyan has good physical fitness, learning Lost Trace Boxing can certainly improve his combat power, but for Hu Xiaoyan, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake. Hu Xiaoyan's talents will definitely be used in governing the country in the future. Therefore, the physical fitness type of martial arts is the most suitable for Hu Xiaoyan. In this regard, Tai Chi has incomparable advantages.

And to choose from Taijiquan, it is Sun's Taiji that is most suitable for Hu Xiaoyan. Because Sun's Taiji not only has the internal health preservation technique of Taiji, but also has the explosive power of Xingyi Boxing. There is also a great master like Sun Lutang as a teacher.

Hu Xiaoyan decided to listen to Huo Yuanjia's suggestion. After all, Huo Yuanjia is the grandmaster in the martial arts, and his statement is still very credible.

After arriving in Beijing, Hu Xiaoyan did not go to visit Li Hongzhang for the first time, but asked Tao Chengzhang to send the new edition of the two books of the rise of a great power and the supremacy of science and technology to the officials in the court and attached a letter of worship. The book "The Supremacy of Science and Technology" was compiled by Hu Xiaoyan by summarizing his lectures at Gezhi Academy and adding some insights from later generations.

The core theory of "Science and Technology Supremacy" is that science and technology are the primary productive forces and that science and technology are omnipotent. It is easy to understand that science and technology are the primary productive forces, but what is the matter with the omnipotence of science and technology?

Actually, this is also very understandable. Luo Bingzhang said: "Hunan has 100 acres of land, and you can rent 100 stones. "According to the rent in half, the rice yield per mu is also 2 stones. 1 stone is more than 100 catties according to modern times. Count a little more, count three hundred pounds. This is still Hunan, which is familiar with the lake and the world. I'm afraid that the production will be lower in other places. Therefore, the output of Henan, Anhui and other places in the major agricultural provinces is not optimistic. In the event of a natural disaster**. If Henan's output in Anhui is greatly reduced, the northwest and other places that rely on these two provinces to export grain will inevitably fall into civil strife.

But in modern times, the yield of Yuan Longping's hybrid rice per mu is generally 500 kilograms. Note that the above says 300 kilograms, here it is 500 kilograms. The yield is three times that of the previous year.

That's the power of technology. In depth, the current rice is 500KG, so after 50 years of scientific and technological development, will the yield per mu of rice become the lowest 1000KG?

Hu Xiaoyan's book on the supremacy of science and technology certainly doesn't write about the future, but it focuses on fertilizer technology in Germany and the United Kingdom. It is believed that these will bring about a sea change in food production. Since the use of German fertilizers in China in 1898 was not yet available, there is no additional data. But he also showed the use of technology on battleships and rifle cannons. In particular, the development history from black gunpowder to brown gunpowder to smokeless gunpowder and the comparison of power were made.

Hu Xiaoyan believes that the progress of science and technology can not only be used to develop industry and agriculture, but also the most important thing is to improve national strength. To develop national defense, science and technology are the first priority. In order to develop science and technology, education is the first priority. Centennial plan, education-oriented.

This book was also given to each of the other five members of League of Legends. The reason why Huo Yuanjia tried to join the League of Legends was precisely because of the supremacy of technology. After he was mentioned in this book, the scientific and technological progress will inevitably lead to a great increase in grain production, so that no one in the country will be at risk of freezing and starving.

Hu Xiaoyan brought these two divine books to Beijing in order to impress Li Hongzhang and Cixi with these two books.

Hu Xiaoyan deliberately belittled the Restoration Party and the Revolutionary Party in the first edition of the "Rise of a Great Power" series, and even spared no space to scold Sun Wen and others, just to curry favor with Cixi and Li Hongzhang. It opens a shortcut to his entry into Beijing.

Again, there is no love for no reason and no hate for no reason in this world. Hu Xiaoyan didn't even know each other with the Restorationist Revolutionary Party, Sun Wen and others, and he had neither hatred nor hatred, so why did he say that they were beaten with a stick, and then personally went up and stepped on two feet?

If it weren't for the fact that this matter was of great benefit to him, Hu Xiaoyan would not have eaten and had nothing to do to offend these people. You must know that the early revolutionaries engaged in assassination, bombing, and poisoning, which was as normal as a common thing.

Tao Chengzhang, one of the leaders of the Restoration Society, who was a member of the Alliance, tried to assassinate Cixi twice, and even went to Beijing to survey the geography of Beijing alone.

If Hu Xiaoyan was not crazy, how could he offend this group of revolutionaries who were even more crazy than him?

Without him, the interests make however. He, Hu Xiaoyan, has no money, no power, and no prestige. If you want to do great things, you must have backers. And China's biggest backers at present are Li Hongzhang and Cixi. Although Li Hongzhang fell out of favor, he was the most powerful. Although Cixi has no strength, she has a righteous reputation.

As long as these two people are impressed, then whatever Hu Xiaoyan wants to do in China will become smooth sailing. Therefore, the reformers and revolutionary parties that offended Cixi and Li Hongzhang became the inevitable target of Hu Xiaoyan. Although Hu Xiaoyan was not willing to do this kind of thing, the reformers and the revolutionary party did not do much good and did more bad things in this era. stepped on so many feet, Hu Xiaoyan said that he had no shame in his heart.

Out of the inn, Hu Xiaoyan, Liu Min, and Huo Yuanjia began to wander around Beijing City in this time and space. Tao Chengzhang was instructed by Hu Xiaoyan to give gifts and send worship posts.

There are three people Hu Xiaoyan wants to see the most, and these three are all recommended by Tang Shaoyi. The first one is Prince Alcohol Zaifeng. Although this person is silent, and he is young, he will sell cute. Therefore, he won the trust of Cixi, Yuan Shikai was able to train troops in a small station, and this person contributed a lot. The second place is Li Hongzhang, although Li Hongzhang is idle at this time, he still participates in the government at the time of the Beijing Division, and has too many contacts and unparalleled prestige in the court. The third and most important one is the famous Li Lianying. This person doesn't need to say much, students who don't know can spend their mothers.

The gifts of Prince Zaifeng and Li Lianying were two books and 10,000 taels of silver. Plus a goodbye post. The worship post only said that after the end of school, he would pay tribute to some local products. There was neither a request to meet nor a request to do anything.

In addition to the two books, Li Hongzhang's gift also included Chinese translations of The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Sea Power. Not a cent of the money was given. He also wanted to ask Li Hongzhang for money.

When I went out, I saw a teahouse not far away. The three of them walked in and saw a signboard that read "Don't talk about state affairs". Hu Xiaoyan pulled his lips and walked into the teahouse helplessly. But I was surprised to find that the atmosphere inside the teahouse seemed to be a little wrong. He was thinking about quitting from time to time. But he saw a man standing up at the innermost table.

"Mr. Li, since you're here. Why don't we have a cup of tea together? ”
