Chapter 12: The Lively Wine Fight
The name of Rehe comes from the Mongolian language "Harun Xulu", which means hot river, "Rehe" is also known as "Rehe Spring", located in the northeast corner of the lake area of the summer resort in the summer capital of the Qing Dynasty, and is a trickle of water that originates from the springs of the summer resort. In the early morning of winter, the water vapor meets the cold air and condenses into fog, the water temperature can reach 8 °C in the coldest time in winter, there are huge stones on the side of the spring, engrave the word "Rehe", so it is called Rehe, it is the main water source of the lake in the summer resort, it flows through the Chenghu Lake, Ruyi Lake, Shanghu Lake, Xiahu Lake in the villa, flows out from the five-hole sluice gate in the south of Yinhu Lake, and flows into the Wulie River along the long causeway. The total length of the river is more than 700 meters, and there is no trace of it on the general map. It is the shortest river in country Z.
Rehe Province was one of the four northeastern provinces during the Republic of China. In the early years of the Republic of China, the Rehe area was still under the jurisdiction of the Qing court, and the Rehe capital was under the jurisdiction of the Manchu and Mongolian ethnic groups in the Rehe area, and the civil affairs of each county were under the jurisdiction of the Zhili Province. In January of the third year of the Republic of China (1914), the government of the Republic of China established the Rehe Special Zone, which was separated from Zhili Province and directly belonged to the government of the Republic of China. In July of the same year, Rehe Road was established. The area under its jurisdiction includes 14 counties under the jurisdiction of the former Zhili Rehe Prefecture, and 7 flags of the Mongolian Zhuosuotu League and 12 flags of the Zhaowuda League are incorporated.
On September 17, the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), the Nationalist Government officially announced that Rehe would be changed into a province, which belonged to one of the four northeastern provinces outside the Guanwai. With a total area of about 190,000 square kilometers and a population of 6 million, it has jurisdiction over 15 counties and a total of 20 banners of Zhuosuotu League and Zhaowuda League, and the provincial capital is located in Rehe County. Tang Yulin, a warlord of the Feng family, served as the chairman of Rehe Province. Spanning the Mongolian Plateau and the Northeast Plain, Rehe Province is the last gateway and strategic hub of Northeast China and North China. Historically, the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties all built many defensive fortresses in Rehe as a barrier within the pass. At the same time, the Rehe area is mostly a mountainous area of the plateau, and the terrain in the territory is complex, belonging to karst landforms, and there are many deep valley caves, which are absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack from a tactical point of view.
On the Rehe Ancient Road, Mu Han and his entourage of more than 20 people galloped to Chengde. Two lives, once abroad for five years, recalling the past life, childhood, Mu Han, who was timid in his hometown, felt all kinds of feelings in his heart.
Rehe Street was bustling, and the shouts of all kinds of juggling and buying and selling came and went. Mu Han and the others entered Rehe City and came to Qingyuanheng, the largest restaurant in Rehe, located in Erxianju.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today coincides with the 300th anniversary of the establishment of the store, 280 years ago, Qianlong Ye and the minister Ji Xiaolan drank wine in the store, leaving behind the eternal name of 'gold, wood, water, fire and earth, Bancheng burning pot wine'. Our shop has survived to this day. Today, Duan is not talented, special wine, poetry and calligraphy, and martial arts wine Jingyanggang. If there are contestants, the wine will be free and the dishes will be halved. Those who are shortlisted for the top 10 will be awarded a jar of wine and ten pieces of ocean. The winner can drink for free for half a year in our store, and the prize is 200 yuan, and the list eye and Tanhua will be halved in turn. At the same time, the champion of Wenbi can also receive a pair of Qianlong ink treasures, and the champion of the martial arts competition can receive a Qianlong imperial weapon. Welcome heroes from all walks of life to come on the stage to teach and meet friends with wine. Duan Shipeng, the owner of the hotel, bowed after speaking.
Suddenly, the hotel was full of people, and everyone turned their heads and ears.
Mu Han was also slightly moved, he knew that as the summer capital of the Qing Dynasty, it was not surprising that there were many royal people flowing out of this place. He was emotionally interested in the Qianlong Imperial Weapon that the champion of the martial arts competition could receive, because Mu Han faintly felt that this weapon had a certain connection with the Nine Dragons Sword that he tracked down on this trip.
In a short time, the four treasures of the study room were placed in the middle of the hotel, and a vacant space was also shown in the courtyard courtyard, and a table of eight immortals was full of all kinds of wine utensils, and the guys in the store were moving wine.
Rehe is located in the place outside the plug, the folk customs are fierce, and the people are rarely famous, so the Wenbi field can be crowded, and almost no one cares. However, the martial arts arena was crowded with people inside and out.
"Boss, how is this martial arts competition? What are the rules? ”
"Hehe, everyone thinks that my Rehe is located outside the plug, the ground is cold and the wind is cold, and everyone can drink two sips. Therefore, it is not a hero to compare the amount of alcohol. There are many heroes outside our northern land, so the rules of the wine and martial arts competition formulated by Duan's ancestor are to follow the example of Wu Songwu Erlang, a good man in Shuibo Liangshan, who drank eighteen bowls of wine and drunk and beat the white-eyed tiger. Those who participate in the martial arts competition, each person first drinks eighteen bowls, and then two groups to test the fist and foot kung fu, the test of fists and feet is limited to one stick of incense, after a stick of incense, there is no winner or loser, and then the winner is judged by the amount of wine. The winner of each match can rest for half an hour to accept the second round of challenges. But anyone who loses a contest or falls to the ground drunk cannot win the championship. ”
Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, how much wine would they have to drink if they won the championship in Wusai! While everyone was groaning, a big man jumped into the field.
"From south to north, you can't drink the paddock; Half of the paddock Tahu sea teaches! After Hu Dahai came on the field, people appeared one after another.
"Cut, go east and west, you can't drink Fengning; Fengning Fengshan Yan Hu visits heroes from all walks of life! ”
"Hahaha! Go east and west, you can't drink Xinglong, and half of Xinglong Mountain Cheng Wanju comes! ”
"What southeast, northwest, high mountains and plains, can't drink Pingquan, Pingquan Phoenix Ridge Feng Dali leads all the heroes."
"What a mess, go all over the world, you can't drink Longhua, Longhua Baihugou Meng Zhu will come to compare and compare!"
"Yo, there are people from all over the counties on the outskirts of Rehe! Don't fix those useless ones, say a thousand things and ten thousand, you can't drink Rehe County. Chu Yunlong of Rehe County is here. Is there a number that has not been reported? ”
"Hahahaha!" Laughter erupted from the sidelines. This is not compared, but the calling is more powerful than the other. However, after that, the players who came on the field did not report the number, but clasped their fists and saluted in the field in a proper manner.
At this time, Mu Han whispered a few words in Hou Chenfeng's ear (Mu Han's stand-in), and Hou Chenfeng turned to leave. Mu Han called Qiao Yunpeng (Qiao Fei's second son, Qiao Yunlong's brother) to his front again, explained a few words, and Qiao Yunpeng also took the stage. So far, there are exactly 16 people in the field.
After a while, Boss Qing Yuanheng saw that no one came to the stage, so he clasped his hands and said: "Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, heroes and heroes from all walks of life, there are 16 heroes participating in the competition today, and Duan is very honored." In fact, it is very difficult to hold the wine to win the martial arts competition, not only to have excellent martial arts, but also to have a superhuman amount of alcohol. In the past, there were only 10 people who dared to go on stage in the wine fighting martial arts competition, and the champion of the wine fighting martial arts competition has never been produced. Why is that? It is easy for ordinary martial arts people to drink eighteen bowls of wine, but after the competition, it is not so easy to drink eighteen bowls. I just said the rules, taking the eight-person competition as an example, if you want to win the championship, you must drink at least 54 bowls of wine, that is, no matter how powerful his fists and feet are, he will win all the opponents, and drink these 54 bowls of wine. And the real martial arts masters don't talk about the amount of alcohol, they don't bother to show their kung fu in this wine shop at all, so there has been no leader in the wine competition in the past three hundred years. As soon as Duan Shipeng's voice fell, everyone inside and outside the venue immediately discussed.
"Boss Duan, if two people compete, or four people compete, wouldn't they have to drink so much wine?" Someone in the crowd asked.
"Hahaha! Duan's ancestor has been running a hotel and doing business so far, can't I count this account? If there are few official participants, will I still swing? Even if it were to swing, I would only take out normal royal weapons. Duan Shipeng paused slightly, "There are as many as 16 people who officially participated in the competition today, setting a record high. Duan arises at a certain time, and he will say two more words. According to the ancestral records, the founder of the wine fighting martial arts competition was the favored minister and Shen of Lord Qianlong. It is reported that Ji Xiaolan and Emperor Qianlong wrote the famous sentence of 'gold, wood, water, fire and earth, Bancheng burning pot wine' for the store. The pot wine brewed by this shop is sold well in the north and south of the river, and for a while, many dignitaries, literati, and heroes can be proud of the wine of the emperor's couplet. Seeing this, He Shen didn't want to specialize in beauty and Ji Xiaolan, so he set up a wine fighting hero ring in the store, thinking that the villa would select the inner guards. So he gave Qianlong a weapon as a reward for the champion. Since then, every ten years, the shop has held a wine competition, not only Wenbi, but also martial arts. But the real master disdains any imperial weapons, and he doesn't want to be a court eagle dog. Therefore, the first place in the wine competition set up by our store has never been produced. I hope that today's 16 heroes can make the skills of the champion and brave the sword. Now the lottery begins! ”
"Wait, I, the Great Japanese Samurai, and Saiyu Nakano are also coming! You're all throwing in the towel! In the noise outside the hotel, several Japanese ronins rushed into the arena, led by a Japanese samurai who spoke in stiff Chinese.
"Holy shit! Whose trouser belt is not tightly tied, how can a Japanese bird be exposed! I Rehe Tang Marshal Guard Battalion Xu Bao also came to catch up with the field. ”
"Yaga, you dare to despise my Great Japanese Empire, your death is dead." Xiyou Nakano quickly drew his katana and slashed at Xu Bao.
I saw Xu Bao's body turn sharply, and a box cannon resisted Xiyou Zhongye's brain.
"Little devil, if you can't go wild in Rehe, if you want to compete, you have to follow Boss Duan's rules. We'll see you on the field if you have the ability. After speaking, Xu Bao's subordinates also raised their guns to aim at the remaining Japanese.
"Hmph, Zhina pig, sooner or later I want you to look good!" Saiyu Nakano put away his knife.
"Hey! Ay! Ay! Ladies and gentlemen, all Japanese friends, are discouraged. The competition officially began, and all the participants went forward to draw lots and grouped them. ”
In a few moments, the 18 people on the field were grouped. The first round of wine fighting officially began. I saw that the 17 people on the field quickly drank 18 bowls of wine, and only Qiao Yunpeng, who was sent by Mu Han, was still tasting bowl by bowl, "Good wine, good wine, it really lives up to its reputation!" ”
"Eight Tooth Road! Yours fast, don't delay the tournament time! The Japanese samurai Saiyu Nakano shouted with a fierce face.
"Hurry up, young man, don't lose to little Japan!" It turned out that Qiao Yunpeng and Xiyou Nakano were in a group.
Qiao Yunpeng drank the last bowl of wine in the first round, shook it lightly with his hand, and the wine bowl landed steadily on the seventeen bowls that had been in order. Duan Shipeng's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw this.
Xiyou Nakano immediately punched Qiao Yunpeng in the head, Qiao Yunpeng jumped up in a style of "Dapeng spreading his wings", and quickly kicked out with his right foot, and the two fought together.
A few rounds later, Mu Han on the sidelines nodded slightly, and then coughed lightly, Qiao Yunpeng immediately understood in the field, and suddenly changed his moves, his left palm was a "wind and rain in all directions", blitzed Xiyou Nakano's ribs, and his whole body rose into the air, and his right leg kicked Xiyou Nakano's back like a whirlwind. Xiyou Nakano dodged the palm technique, but was hit hard by Qiao Yunpeng's whip leg, and fell to the ground and spat blood. The other Japanese ronins glared fiercely, picked up Nishiyu Nakano and turned away.
"Good, good! Well played, cut little Japan to death! Let him be smacked again. There were bursts of applause from the audience. At this time, the incense candle had not yet been lit by a fifth.
Qiao Yunpeng returned to the field and sat down beside Mu Han. Mu Han motioned to the others to cover their figures, and pressed his right hand against Qiao Yunpeng's back, and spit out his internal force. In a few moments, Qiao Yunpeng had sweat stains on his temples, neck, and armpits. Duan Shipeng, who was standing on the sidelines, saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help nodding and smiling.
Less than half of the incense candles were lit, and people fell to the ground one after another, Meng Zhutong, Hu Dahai, Yan Hu, Cheng Wanju, Feng Dali, Chu Yunlong, Xu Bao and a burly man won one after another, but no one was injured. This is the end of the first round of competition.
"Okay, there are really no threes, twos, threes, and I don't dare to go to Liangshan. Without the three Shensha, I don't dare to reverse Xiqi, you see no, all the heroes who were bright just now won. There is now a one-hour break. Everyone took a closer look, but no, all the people who had just started to report the number won. As a result, everyone had greater enthusiasm for this wine fighting competition.
