Guangzhou lecture martial arts.

Outside the Great Sect Martial Arts, the camphor trees were bare, and the cold wind blew, adding a bit of depression.

Inside, the audience was full of black-pressed Cantonese army officers, but there was not a trace of noise, only the voice of the general Wang Qinglang echoed in the Jiaowu Hall.

"Men should defend their families and defend the country! Guangdong Jun Chang is Guangdong Chang, Guangdong Chang is China Chang! I am confident that you will live up to my expectations! ”

"Wow!" The faces of all the officers in the audience were full of excitement, and they answered neatly and loudly.

If it weren't for the strict order formulated by the general king that they were not allowed to bow down in the martial arts hall, I am afraid that they would have knelt on the ground a long time ago, although they could not kneel, but no one dared to sit and listen to the admonition of the general king, let alone express their piety with applause.

Ye Zhao looked around the audience, and his words were sonorous and powerful: "A small poem and encourage all the gentlemen!" "The nine-foot man is heavy on martial arts, and the sword light is like electricity like a rainbow; All men are mortal? Buwu is a hero in the world! ”

"Wow!" The officers were agitated one by one, but they didn't know how to vent.

Ye Zhao smiled and stepped out of the podium.

Soon, I don't know who took the lead, the officers in the audience knelt on the ground and sent them off, the law did not blame the public, and the instructor who walked out quickly behind the general Wang could only pretend not to see it.

The Guangzhou Lecture Hall has been open for more than a year, and officers above the Guangdong military management team have taken turns to train, but Ye Zhao also knows that these officers who have experienced a hundred battles have their own routines in combat, and the teaching materials compiled by him and Peter are just a supplement to broaden their horizons and enhance their knowledge of the combat of the Grand Army, but they must not use dogma to imprison their thinking.

The family members of Zhu Yong outside the Guanxi have also arrived in Guangzhou one after another, and the meaning of "Guangdong Army" in China at present has long been no longer able to be understood in a one-sided sense of the region, and all the generals and generals of Wang Suo, including the local troops in Jiangxi, call themselves "Guangdong Army."

In fact, the main task of the martial arts hall is not to teach combat but to instill "ideals," and what is instilled in them is the pride of being Chinese, the pride of being the Guangdong army under the great general Wang, the sacred mission of protecting family members, and the sense of honor of saving the people from fire and water.

When accusing the crime of banditry, he did not forget to criticize the Hunan army and the official army for the corruption of military discipline at the same time, which was the source of chaos in the country, of course, he faintly alluded to the ancestor of Yanjing City behind the Hunan military army.

Coupled with the subtle criticism of the Qing system and the admiration of the reform in Guangdong, the loyal monarch was cleverly mutated into loyal to the general king. In the Guangdong army, there are faint signs of "knowing the general and the king but not the emperor".

The best way to inculcate ideals is to enhance their sense of national identity and pride, this is true in both the East and the West, not to mention the East, and the so-called "American founding spirit" and so on in the West, which can often make the people's blood boil and follow you to throw their heads and spill their blood.

This is naturally Ye Zhao's political trick, politics is often deceiving the people, Ye Zhao only hopes that he can be an exception, and in the future, he will not disappoint them.

When I returned to the county king's mansion, as soon as I entered the mansion, the chief steward Chang Shun came to greet him with joy: "The prince is very happy, Da Gege has come to Guangzhou, and he is in the flower hall." Chang Shun has been by the side of the little prince since he was a child, and he knows that the little prince has a deep relationship with Da Gege, and when Da Gege got married, the little prince was still young, but he was unhappy for several days.

Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, Da Gege was the old name of the old people in the mansion for the eldest sister who married in Mongolia, especially Chang Shun, who would definitely not abuse this title.

"Big sister?" Ye Zhao's voice trembled slightly, this, I haven't seen this for many years, the eldest sister married the Khan of Chechnya in Outer Mongolia, and after she got married, she never returned to Beijing, but it has been many years.

Although not a mother's compatriots, but since childhood, the eldest sister has been very close to herself, when she just came to this world, the eldest sister was just six years old, often secretly ran to tease her infant self, once while no one was around, he pointed to the apple on the table to ask, but no, the big red apple was placed there, but it was spoiled.

The eldest sister was confused, so she bit the apple and fed it to herself, and she was accidentally choked, but she happened to be seen by her mother, and immediately scolded her, thinking that it was Fang Fujin who instructed her to harm herself.

The eldest sister cried aggrievedly for several days, but she still came to see herself with red eyes, and she made a grimace to make her laugh.

When she was "able" to walk, the eldest sister took herself to the whole palace, and playing hide and seek in the back garden was her favorite, and she was really happy during that time.

When I was seven years old, my eldest sister married Mongolia, the day before, my eldest sister hugged herself and cried all night, wiping her tears and telling herself: "Jingxiang, you have to fight when you grow up, you must come to see your sister and promise your sister, okay?" ”

Yin Yin's words are still in his ears, but it has been more than ten years in a flash.

"Quick, take me!" It was the first time Ye Zhao was so excited that he even tripped over the steps while walking briskly and almost fell.

The mighty servants who followed behind the general king were stunned, but Chang Shun was warm in his heart, the master missed the old, and he was so kind to Da Gege, and the same was true for his own minions.

Flower hall Yasu.

Ye Zhao hurriedly stepped into the hall, and his eyes could no longer be separated from the Mingxiu lady who was smiling and looking at him, the eldest sister Han name was Jingzhen, as her name suggested, she was always so quiet, delicate, and gentle.

"Big sister!" Ye Zhao walked a few steps quickly, his eyes were a little wet.

"You, you've grown so big?" Jingzhen smiled, but her eyes were red, and she hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and wiped it gently.

"Yes, Jingxiang has grown up!" Ye Zhao's heart was sour, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

In the hall, there were two men dressed as Mongolian nobles, both of them wearing gold rings and silver and shining ornaments, serving roughly, with fierce faces, and one of them saw Ye Zhao's style, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"Ah, don't talk to me, come, this is your brother-in-law, this is King Ullihan Khan." Jingzhen saved her mind and was busy introducing Ye Zhao.

Jingzhen married the Chechen Khan West Road Five Banners Zasak (banner owner) and Bojilie Belle Qinggeltai.

It was Qinggeltai's elder brother Ulihan who despised Ye Zhaomulu, who attacked the Eleventh Banner Zasak, Krulenbal and Chechen Khan of the East Road of the Chechen Khan.

Qing Ge Tai was extremely enthusiastic, laughed and hugged Ye Zhao, very affectionate, patted Ye Zhao on the back and said: "I often hear your sister mention you, we will be Anda and brothers in the future." ”

The four departments of Outer Mongolia do not say commoners, even if the princes and nobles learn Chinese, there are also a few, Qinggeltai loves his wife, and he has worked hard over the years, but he is proficient in Chinese, while Wu Lihan's Chinese is much more blunt, and Ye Zhao is holding hands according to Manchu customs, and there is a faint arrogance on his face.

The servant served the fragrant tea, and Ye Zhao asked with concern: "Why didn't my sister write a letter?" ”

Jingzhen smiled gently: "I also made a temporary decision, your brother-in-law, and the King of Khan came to help in the war, I just pondered, come to see you, isn't this coming?" I stayed in the capital for a while, and I didn't have time to write to you, so I thought, let's talk about it when I arrive, this army is in chaos, and the letter is not easy to transmit, right? ”

Ye Zhao sighed softly in his heart, the eldest sister's mother died early, and she didn't have any nostalgia for the capital palace.

smiled and said, "Brother-in-law and King Khan came to help King Monk Grinqin break the thief?" ”

Ulihan interjected with a proud face: "The Khalkha horse is a warrior, fiercer than the wolf, and more agile than the fox!" There are 500 warriors in each of the Qinggeltai clans, and they are all invincible eagles! ”

Ye Zhao looked at him with a smile and didn't answer his words.

Jingzhen knew the temper of this uncle, and smiled secretly in her heart, and said in her heart that my brother is a strange elf, if you say a few more words that he doesn't like to hear, you will have to suffer.

I still remember that when my younger brother just knew how to walk, he was as smart as a monster, and the ghost idea was jaw-dropping, and when he was three years old, he invented a chess set to play with himself, and that time was his happiest.

Looking at his younger brother with a smile, Jingzhen said, "You can't help but be a little lonely here." ”

Ye Zhao knew what his sister meant, and laughed dryly. It's not, Rong'er went to school, Jin'er's grandmother is in Foshan again, the huge palace, and no one greeted her when her sister came, which is indeed a little unusual.

Jingzhen smiled and said to Qinggeltai: "I see, when my sister grows up for a few years, I will point out to Jing Xiang as a side blessing, her little temper, dancing knives and sticks, I guess Jing Xiang can be cured." ”

Qing Ge Tai obeyed his beloved wife and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Ye Zhao had a bitter face, he had heard of such a relative, the little sister of Qinggeltai and Wu Lihan, who had just been born and passed away from the old Khan King, and his age should be less than ten years old, a small point is enough to give a headache, how can the two of them bear it? Especially listening to my sister's words, Xiao Budian also likes to dance knives and guns, and it sounds like a scourge.

Wu Lihan said proudly: "My sister is young, but she has the noble blood of her father's Khan, and she will marry an eagle on horseback, not a bird in the south." ”

Qing Ge Tai frowned and didn't speak, this big brother doesn't understand Nanren etiquette at all.

Ye Zhao shook his head helplessly, how could he become a southern bird? But there is no ill feeling towards this rugged Mongolian man.

Jingzhen chuckled and said, "Uncle, my younger brother is not a weak bird!" Wen Taowu strategy, the world's first-class; Uncle may not have heard of Kong Ming, so he will ask Qinggeltai to tell you his story. Leading troops to fight, not relying on brute force, strategizing to win thousands of miles, this is a big hero. ”

The Mongolians don't have so many rules, and Jingzhen gradually adapted, so she talked eloquently in front of her uncle.

Ye Zhao coughed dryly twice, feeling embarrassed.

Wu Lihan looked horizontally and vertically, and he didn't think that this little white face looked like a big hero, to be honest, his younger brother and sister, a southerner, did know a lot, and gradually won his respect, but it was a woman, and she didn't need to be a horseback; But this man wants to have a sissy posture, and there is no merit in it.

He then puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Okay then! Jingxiang, you bet three games with me! If you win, I will marry my sister to you! If you lose! Don't covet the snowdrops on our steppe! ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Forget it!" "The heart says that the little barbarian, who is rare?

But seeing that his sister was glancing at him, and Wu Lihan looked contemptuous, Qing Ge Tai was slightly ashamed, and then he knew that if he did not accept his challenge, his sister would be disgraced, and the weakness of the southern people would be passed down from generation to generation in Mongolia through the mouth of Wu Lihan. The most brave generals in the south, the kings, are all wine bags and rice bags, not to mention others?

Ye Zhao was stunned to find that why did this issue rise to national righteousness in a blink of an eye? Is it because you are sensitive? In any case, there is a bit of this meaning.

Jingzhen smiled: "Wendou three games, I think the uncle won't mind......"

Ye Zhao's mind was racing, he waved his hand to interrupt his sister's words, and said with a smile: "Then play with Brother Wulihan, and call Naadam according to your customs, right?" How to fight, but rely on Brother Ullihan to decide. Although my sister tried her best to make her eyes, Ye Zhao couldn't see it.

Wu Lihan finally looked at Ye Zhao with the right eyes, this southerner, still has a bit of backbone. Then he stood up, with an iron tower-like body, incomparably powerful, and said loudly: "Good! It's like archery, strength, and Bokbay Iled! "Bokbayeled is wrestling.

Jingzhen just wanted to speak, but Ye Zhao had already smiled and said, "Okay! Jingzhen frowned slightly, and said in her heart, Could it be that my brother, this official, is getting bigger and bigger, but he has also become arrogant?

Ye Zhao smiled again: "But this bet, if Brother Wu Li Han wins, I will follow the matter of Brother Wu Li Han, and if Brother Wu Li Han loses, he will also listen to my orders." ”

Ulihan said proudly: "I lost, let you command!" "He is a famous warrior in Mongolia, whether it is archery or archery, wrestling, there are few opponents in the four divisions of Outer Mongolia, how can he put a little southerner in his eyes?

Ye Zhao smiled slightly: "Okay, that's it!" Clapping their hands, several guards flew in, and Ye Zhao asked them to go to the martial arts arena so arranged. Then he got up and smiled and invited Wu Lihan, Qing Ge Tai and his sister to the martial arts arena together.

Jingzhen saw that her younger brother was calm and calm, and she was a little relieved, and said that she didn't know what kind of demagogic idea she had again.

The martial arts arena of the county king's mansion is paved with blue bricks, which is extremely spacious, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds on the east shelf are bright and sparkling. Hearing that the general king was going to fight with the Mongol Khan king, Bakshsuna rushed over, and more than a dozen guards in the field were rubbing their fists and palms, waiting to see how the general king frustrated the Mongol tiger might.

Looking at the arrow target more than 200 steps away, Wu Lihan frowned, Jingzhen was amused in his stomach, his younger brother knew that he would not be able to compare to him, so that he could not shoot the target, and he could also judge the tie.

Sure enough, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Wulihan, this first game can be regarded as a draw!" ”

Wu Lihan's face sank like water, and he said, "How do you know that I can't shoot?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled slightly, raised his hand, and immediately a guard sent him his special rifle, Ye Zhao raised the gun, snapped and fired several shots in a row, but saw the bullseye red dot in the distance move lightly, and soon a guard ran over and said loudly: "All hit the bull's-eye!" As he spoke, he took off the target and walked quickly, and immediately the guards roared with joy.

Wu Lihan looked at the target with an incredulous expression, and then looked at the musket in Ye Zhao's hand, his eyes were full of shock.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "I am used to using muskets, it is unfair to shoot with Brother Wulihan, if the eldest brother also uses a musket, he will lose to me, if I use a bow and arrow, I am not the opponent of the eldest brother." Of course, the eldest brother said that it was an archery competition, so I could lose a game. ”

Seeing Wu Lihan staring at his rifle, he handed it over with a smile and said, "If you don't believe it, big brother, you can give it a try, oh, aim like this, there are still a few projectiles in it, be careful, be careful......"

"Bang", on a rockery at the oblique angle, a piece of gravel was knocked away, and the servant next to the rockery was so frightened that he took a few steps back, his face pale.

The deafening sound and momentum made Ulhan's body tremble, and the rifle in his hand fell to the ground.

A guard next to him hurriedly picked it up and said, "This thing can't be touched indiscriminately, it will kill people." Ye Zhao glared, and he didn't dare to say any more.

Ulihan was even more afraid, and when he saw that the musket was so powerful, he was shocked.

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "In the second game, how to compare the strength?" ”

It took a while for Ullihan to come back to his senses, and the shock of this day can be said to be the first time since he was born, although he had heard the name of the musket earlier, but it was said that the loading was cumbersome, and the gunpowder was afraid of rain, and he wanted to come to the bow and arrow to resist it, but he didn't want to, these two instruments were simply incompatible, just like a hungry tiger and a sheep, and the bow and arrow were obviously vulnerable to the musket.

The stunt that he had been proud of for many years suddenly seemed so weak, his faith collapsed, and Ullihan's brain was buzzing, and he said gloomily after a while: "It's me who loses, it's me who loses." ”

"Then how does this compare strength?" Ye Zhao asked again.

Wu Lihan turned his head to look, pointed to the round stone table on the side of the field, walked over and sat down in despair, stretched out his hand, and gradually settled down, shook his head, and his eyes were extremely resolute, this game, can not lose again! What is the wonder of the exquisite equipment of the Nanren? You can always find a way to crack it, and the Mongol warriors will dominate the world, but if you don't believe it, you will lose to the muskets!

Ye Zhao saw that this posture was clearly a "wrist wrestler", smiled, and then walked over and sat opposite Wu Lihan.

Jingzhen's heart hung up, the uncle was famous for his strength and amazing power, but Mo Yi broke the wrist bone of the younger brother, but at this time, he couldn't talk to his younger brother, so as not to disturb his younger brother's mind.

Qinggeltai had just woken up from the shock, and when he saw his beloved wife's expression, he knew what she was worried about. pondered for a while, paced to Wu Lihan's side, and said in his ear: "Be merciful to your subordinates, don't hurt people." ”

At this time, Wu Lihan had already held Ye Zhao's slender and white hand, the vise was generally held, the two palms were compared, and the pride in his heart rose again, listening to Qing Ge Tai's words, he nodded, and said in his heart that this southerner is very good, worthy of the name of the general king, and he will leave him a little affection for a while.

smiled slightly, and said to Ye Zhao: "Let's start!" ”

Next to him, Baksh counted loudly: "Three! ”

"Two!"

Wu Lihan slowly used all his strength, and only waited for Ye Zhao to exert his strength, and then he was deadlocked for a moment, which was regarded as giving him face, and then he would be knocked down.

"One!"

"Let's go!" Baksh shouted.

As soon as Wu Li Hanfu exerted his strength, he suddenly felt a huge momentum on his wrist, and his heart was shocked.

Jingzhen and Qinggeltai were both dumbfounded, and the guards cheered.

"What are you doing, Ullihan?" Qinggeltai blushed and shouted to Ulhan.

Wu Lihan was a little dazed, indeed, losing to the enemy, but this Jingxiang's strength is really big enough, even if he competes in a dignified manner, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold out for a long time.

"Brother-in-law, can you try it?" Ye Zhao said to Qing Ge Tai with a smile.

Qinggeltai can't take care of his wife at this time, it's too embarrassing, his brother doesn't know what he's doing, and he loses the face of the Chechen Khan warriors.

Sitting down immediately, Ulhan got up blankly.

But when Qing Getai and Ye Zhao used their strength, they knew that Wu Lihan was not willing to give in, and they stalemate for a while, their faces were red and their necks were thick, but their wrists were still slowly pulled down by Ye Zhao on the stone table.

Jingzhen was pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile: "Jingxiang is good!" Qinggeltai, you know it's awesome now, right? "It's really that I've lived in the Mongolian tribe for a long time, and the people have become cheerful, and they don't look as cautious as they used to be.

Qinggeltai was helpless, but there was no way, his beloved wife really doted on her brother.

"Lord Wang, Wu Lihan admits defeat! You don't have to compare the third game! Wu Lihan put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly, he was really convinced. This Jingxiang was born beautifully, but he was a hero, and he couldn't complain that his name was so loud.

Ye Zhao laughed and said, "It's a fluke." "Speaking of wrestling, I'm afraid it's really not the opponent of this Mongolian Tower, after all, it is useless to talk about skills, just strength.

Wu Lihan said: "The prince is brave and invincible, and Wu Lihan is convinced!" He also said: "Ming said that Wu Lihan wrote a letter to ask his sister to come, and then asked the emperor to marry, and my sister can be accompanied by an eagle like the prince, and the father of heaven Khan will also be very happy." ”

Ye Zhao couldn't cry or laugh, Mongolians don't pay attention to the age of marriage, so is it a little *** years old? Or do the evil to others. smiled: "I didn't mean that, I just made a bet, saying that Brother Wu Li Han wants to rely on me for one thing, I want to say that Brother Wu Li Han and his brother-in-law will stay in Guangzhou and help me when they break the thieves in the spring of the next year." "How can I say that this Chechen Khan is his own relative, he can't go to make trouble for the matchmaker, and he is useless to be cannon fodder, it is best to help himself to break the bandits, but now the rifle team and the cavalry cooperate, and there are many tactical tricks.

Ulihan hesitated.

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "King Monk Greenqin, I will write to him to explain that the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces are not inaccurate." ”

Ulihan and Qinggeltai glanced at each other a few times, and when they saw their younger brother bowing slightly, Ulihan immediately smiled and said: "The Khalkha cavalry is willing to serve the prince, but they are afraid that the barbarians on the grassland will not be able to help the prince." Obviously, I was hit by Ye Zhao's rifle and lost my confidence, but also, if Ye Zhao's special rifle could be distributed by the whole army, the Mongolian cavalry was afraid that it would disappear from the stage of history.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Brother Wu Lihan is too humble, go!" Let's drink a few cups, and Ming, the eldest brother and brother-in-law will go with me to say hello to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces! ”

Hearing the drinking, Wu Lihan's face immediately turned black, but he glanced at Ye Zhao with a weak heart, and said in his heart, this kid, he can't drink so much, right? Immediately the intention is to be happy.

Ye Zhao didn't know that it had caused an all-round blow to others, so he laughed and accompanied a few people back to the flower hall, Jingzhen walked beside him, and whispered: "How did you cheat and make peace, tell me." "I couldn't figure it out, and I kept staring at it, and I didn't see how my brother was bewitched.

Ye Zhaoxin said that your brother and I have a first-class physique, but he smiled slightly and said, "Tell my sister later." But I still have to think of how to tell my sister how to be a good man, which is also a problem.

Jingzhen saw Ye Zhao's eyes rolling, glared, knowing that her younger brother must be thinking about how to deceive herself. In this world, I'm afraid no one knows Ye Zhao better than her.
