Chapter 15 Dongying Beauty Loses Her Fiancé
Dongying Ronin (specifically refers to the ancient Japanese restless self-guarding, for the sake of fame and fortune around the activities, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, fighting and killing, robbing and stealing, there are also Japanese regular army pretending to be ronin, to the coastal zone of China to carry out robbery, the Ming Dynasty is more typical, when it is also known as the history of the Japanese Kou) Honshimada in order to verify martial arts, through the Korean Peninsula to the Tang Dynasty Youzhou, set down the ring, bamboo pole provoked an arrogant couplet, "punch China's north and south martial arts, kick Shenzhou east and west kung fu". The Tang people were all angry when they saw it, and since Motoshimada got out of the ring, dozens of Chinese martial artists have challenged Motoshimada, but all of them have failed. In particular, Li Dacheng, the director of the elite martial arts hall who is famous for his martial arts, the master of the ** gate, Chi Zheng's uncle "Turning the Sky Eagle" Chang Hui, the up-and-coming fourth son of the Mei family, Mei Jianlin, the third brother of Mei Yong, the master of the Feiyun Dart Bureau, Mei Ren, the second master of the Fang Gang and the current first master, and Chang Kai, the dart head of the Youzhou Branch of the Four Seas Dart Bureau, have dealt a heavy blow to the self-confidence of the Tang people in Youzhou in Chinese martial arts. When Xu Qing challenged Moto Shimada to set a date to fight to the death with Motoshimada, planning to save face for Chinese martial arts half a month later, the people of Youzhou looked at Xu Qing with anticipation. People rushed to tell each other, and on the day of the competition, people came to the competition ground early and surrounded the competition field. The reason why I have to wait for half a month is because half a month later is the first day of August, the weather will not be too hot, Xu Qing wears body armor and a long coat outside, and it will not be strange to wear thick clothes.
By the way, Xu Qing has traveled to the Tang Dynasty for more than a year, and his hairstyle and clothing are already similar to those of rich and powerful men in the Tang Dynasty. For example, an emperor in the early Tang Dynasty ordered that brocade should only be used in the imperial palace, and silk should only be used by royal family members, officials and nobles. Before the middle of the Tang Dynasty, paper coins and bills of exchange had not yet appeared, and cloth and gold, silver, and copper coins exercised the function of money, that is to say, cloth could be used as transaction currency, cloth and silk could be used as money, and tax deduction money. Money and economic development are mutually influential, and advanced forms of money can greatly reduce transaction costs and promote economic development. For example, we are familiar with the word "waist wrapping ten thousand yuan", which is to describe a rich person, consistent money is a thousand copper coins, a copper coin weighs about half a tael, consistent money weighs 50 catties, 10,000 guan weighs 50,000 catties. Suppose a copper coin can buy a bun, about one dollar now, then 10,000 guan is equivalent to 10 million yuan now, businessman A from Chang'an to Yangzhou to make a transaction worth 100 million yuan, he has to take 100,000 copper coins to set off, copper coins weigh 500,000 catties, assuming a long-distance two-horse carriage can pull 500 catties, then it needs 1,000 carriages, 1,000 grooms, and then you have to hire bodyguards, but also to eat and lodging, the speed of the carriage is very slow, thousands of miles to go for several months. The freight of these 100,000 copper coins may exceed the copper coins themselves. Then some people will ask, since it is inconvenient to go out with a large amount of copper coins, why not go out with gold and silver? This is a good way, so the cash cabinet or money bank came into being, the merchant in the departure money to the money to exchange for gold or silver, after arriving at the destination, and then gold and silver for copper money, not to change, gold and silver can also be used as currency transactions. The current price of one tael of gold is about 15,000 yuan, according to the Tang Dynasty's mining difficulty is ten times that of the current estimate, it is estimated to be about 150,000 yuan, and the current 100 million yuan is about 666 taels of gold in the Tang Dynasty, and it takes two carriages to transport, according to the Tang Dynasty, one tael of gold is about 10,000 taels of silver, and the current 100 million yuan is about 6,660 taels of silver in the Tang Dynasty, and it takes 14 horse-drawn carriages to transport, and the transaction cost is not known how many times less than copper money, but the transportation and security costs are still very high. Moreover, it was very difficult to mine gold and silver in ancient times, and the amount of gold and silver circulating in the market was small, which could not meet the needs of social and economic development. Xu Qing is a modern person, so he wanted to invent paper coins and silver bills in the Tang Dynasty to reduce transaction costs, not only to contribute to the economic development of the Tang Dynasty, but also to earn fees by opening a bank. Xu Qing ran a money village in Liangzhou, did not want to attract the attention of the imperial court, did not dare to invent paper money and silver tickets, after coming to Youzhou, met the former president of the Fanyang Merchants Liaison Association, Wang Jun, the owner of Xianghe Money Village, Xu Qing felt that he could borrow Wang Jun's connections and credibility in the business world, first launched the merchant credit guarantee, not the government's reputation guarantee of the silver ticket, the invention of paper coins to see the future relationship with the Tang Dynasty court. This is the main reason why Xu Qing ran for the president of the Fanyang Merchant Liaison Association.
To get back to the point, Xu Qing and Shimada don't understand each other, and they don't have to be polite, so they will open the frame with a fist salute. Honshimada understood the meaning of the Chinese martial artist's fist, and saw that the audience was very supportive of Xu Qing, and seemed to know that Xu Qing was an opponent, so he returned the salute according to Chinese etiquette and pulled the frame. The Chinese and Japanese masters looked at each other, and the two of them rushed to attack at the same time as soon as they met their eyes.
After a round of onslaught, both sides were surprised. Xu Qing felt that Shimada's body was as hard as a stone, and heavy punches could not hurt Shimada. Xu Qing suspected that Motoshimada had practiced kung fu similar to the Chinese Golden Bell Jar and the Iron Cloth Shirt. Motoshimada felt that Xu Qing's body was made of cotton, and it was obvious that he struck Xu Qing with all his strength, but his strength disappeared in an instant-this is not because Xu Qing's internal strength is so profound, but because his body armor absorbs the impact of external forces. Xu Qing and Ben Shimada are soft and rigid, equal, after a hundred moves it is still a tie, Ben Shimada felt impatient, gathered his lower abdomen, fought hard against Xu Qing's palm, and kicked Xu Qing's left waist sideways.
Xu Qingliu expected that the opponent would avoid the lower abdomen position, and there was no defense against the waist, and he was kicked to the ground and turned over. The audience screamed loudly, and only when they saw Xu Qing roll and stand up again, they breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Qing thought about it for a while and had a countermeasure, using the twelve tricks of the Snow Mountain Palm Technique, "Snowflake Chaos and Charming Eyes" and other strong moves to attack Shimada's eyes, and then attack the rest of his parts, and test them one by one on the one hundred and eight big points in his body, looking for the cover door. After dozens of attempts, Xu Qing finally broke the door of Motoshimada's armpit with one palm.
Motoshimada screamed and collapsed to the ground. The audience applauded. A young girl jumped into the ring, crying Shimada's name, in Japanese. Xu Qing didn't understand, but she just thought she was beautiful, and when she saw her crying, she guessed that she was either Shimada's sister or sweetheart. Xu Qing has no good impression of Dongying men, he still has a good impression of Dongying beauties, and his love and pity for the beautiful girl of Dongying who cried heartbrokenly rose, and he suddenly felt that he had overdone it, and if he wanted to defeat Shimada, he could kick him out of the ring, not necessarily abolish his martial arts, not to mention that although Shimada was arrogant and challenged the Chinese martial arts masters, he shot in a measured manner, and did not cause casualties among the Chinese martial arts people who responded to the battle.
Immediately afterwards, two more young men in cross-dressing jumped into the ring and said to the beautiful girl in Dongying: "Miss Junko, your friend is not lightly injured, let's send him back to the caravan to heal." (Japanese)
Junko nodded, and said to Motoshimada, who was seriously injured and couldn't speak, "You bear with it first." (Japanese) looked up at Xu Qing resentfully, picked up Motoshimada, jumped lightly, crossed the distance of three zhang, put a foot on the head of an audience, and leaped forward. The audience was trampled on the top of their heads by the woman, and they exhaled for a long time. The two Toei samurai who were ordered to protect Junko did not have Junko's good skills, so they had to honestly squeeze out of the crowd.
A few days later, Xu Qing, escorted by Zhao Mengchen, Zhao Tuozhi, Nie Hu, Jia Quan, and a platoon of new army masters, rode a carriage with Zhao Mengchen to inspect the "Fuyuan Gambling House" that had just been received, and was assassinated by a masked female assassin on the way. The female assassin's martial arts were amazing, and her sword qi split the carriage in half. If you don't have the true qi to protect your body and react quickly, you will become a ghost under the sword without even seeing the face of the enemy. Xu Qing was furious in his heart, preventing Zhao Mengchen and other subordinates from making a move, and used the palm instead of the sword to cast the "Tianshan Sword Technique" with unpredictable power and never used lightly. "Rippling blue waves" and "Snow Peak" blocked the assassin's attack, "Beauty is like smoke" hit the female assassin's back with a sword, and the internal force invaded the female assassin's meridians along the knife, the female assassin's arm was numb, and the short knife fell to the ground with a "clang".
The female assassin was stunned, and the veil had been lifted by Xu Qing. "It's you!" Xu Qingdao, knowing the reason for her assassination, was not too surprised. "It's me, Motoshimada is dead, I'm going to kill you to avenge him."
Xu Qing didn't expect that Dongying beautiful girl could speak Chinese, and was secretly surprised, but he was more surprised than this, Xu Qing was surprised: "How could he die?" I just nullified his martial arts, and I didn't kill him. ”
Junzi glanced at Xu Qing fiercely, as if he couldn't relieve his hatred without dividing his body with a knife, and said: "You should know how important martial arts are to a real samurai, and he can't accept the reality that martial arts are abolished, so he commits suicide." He is my fiancé, and I must kill you to avenge him. I can't kill you today, I'll kill you tomorrow, and if you're afraid, you'd better kill me, or I'll haunt you like a ghost. ”
Xu Qing felt very sorry that she had harmed a beautiful girl and became a "widow" who had not passed through the door, and appreciated her even more for her affection and righteousness, and she was not afraid of difficulties, so she said: "You go, if I am destined to die in your hands, I can't escape if I want to." ”
Junzi said: "Don't regret letting me go today." Then he turned around and left. Xu Qing picked up the single knife on the ground with his foot, grabbed the handle of the knife, and said, "Your knife." Throwing the knife out, the single knife slowly sliced through the air in an arc, reaching the right behind Junko. Junko took a copy of it, caught her saber, and turned around and said, "Thank you." "Disappear in the streets.
