Ancient worship, kowtow to the patriarch with incense. Then the three artillery horses sat on the Taishi chair, and the future general respectfully offered tea and bowed to the master after three kowtows. Sanpao took the tea with a smile and took a sip, took the apprenticeship post and put it on the table.

Then he took a laisee and handed it to Barton, who was dressed in a strong suit, and then admonished Barton about the door rules.

In fact, it is those few articles, you must not deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, and you must not use force to commit murder...... And so on and so forth. Then the three cannons gave him a name: Yan Zimo. With the level of the three guns, it will definitely not be named, and this name was temporarily taken by Yan Zhengqing.

Next, Tu Sanpao signed his name on the apprenticeship sticker with a smile. And the old man who handed over the box just now stretched his throat and shouted: "Licheng~~~"

After that, this old man took Yan Zi, who was newly promoted, to pay a silent visit to the "senior brother" Tu Qianjun and the elders of the guests from all parties.

The traditional master-apprentice relationship is second only to the father-son relationship, that is, the so-called "parents who give birth to me, master who teaches me", and "reincarnation is like reincarnation". In some industries, once you enter the master's door, you are all disciplined by the master, and your parents have no right to intervene, or even meet. The establishment of such an important relationship naturally requires the recognition and protection of solemn customs and etiquette. The general apprenticeship ceremony is divided into four procedures.

First, worship the ancestors and worship the protector of the industry. It shows respect for the industry, expresses the piety of the industry, and also prays for the "blessing" of the grandfather to make him successful in his studies.

Second, bow to the teacher. Generally, the master and the master sit on the seat, and the apprentice makes three prostrations, and then kneels to offer red envelopes and post.

Third, the master lectured, announced the rules and gave the name, etc. The precepts are generally to educate the apprentices to respect their ancestors and abide by the rules, and to encourage the apprentices to be innocent and to study hard. During the apprenticeship ceremony, the apprentices bowed three times to the originator, master, master, and mother.

Then present the "Worship Sticker", which contains a pressing ceremony, and then worship the same door and the witnesses (guests). During the apprenticeship ceremony, the Master and two or more witnesses must sign the "Apprenticeship Post" and other formalities before entering the Master's Gate. Become an introductory disciple of Master.

The introductory disciple is also known as the descendant disciple, and the first introductory disciple to enter the master's door is called the senior brother, also known as the pioneer disciple; The introductory disciples who finally enter the master's door are called junior disciples, also known as closed disciples; At the same time, the older ones who are starting are the senior brothers, and the younger ones are the junior brothers.

Without going through the above procedures, he learned boxing skills from the master and was good at kung fu. Those who are recognized by the master are also disciples of the master, but they can only be called registered disciples, not beginner disciples. He is not an introductory disciple, nor is he a registered disciple, but he has learned boxing techniques from his master, and he is called a student, a student, or an apprentice.

"Crackling......" At this time, the sound of firecrackers outside the door has already sounded! After the apprenticeship was over, Tu Sanpao walked out of the room with the guests and came to the hall.

Today's hall is dressed in resplendent gold. There are also two huge gilded couplets hanging on the left and right sides. Shanglian said: Nine turns of Jindan, exaggerated medicine for prescriptions. The next link said: Chengmen Lixue is still like Jingguo cultivating Junying. Horizontal criticism: Respect the teacher!

This couplet contains an allusion to "Chengmen Lixue". It is from the History of the Song Dynasty. Biography of Yang Shi. "Chengmen Lixue" and "Zigong Respect Teacher", "Zhang Liang Apprenticeship", "Wei Zhao Respect Teacher", "Li Shimin Teach His Son Respect Teacher", "Lu Dian's Thousands of Miles to Seek Teachers", "Song Lian Braves the Snow to Visit Teachers" and so on have been extended by later generations as examples of respecting teachers and respecting the way.

Of course, this couplet is Yan Zhengqing's lazy and directly took the couplet of Dengfeng Songyang Academy Lixue Hall to perfunctory. The old man was really busy, and he didn't have time to write a couplet for the three guns. I thought that this couplet was good, so I grabbed it and used it directly. That's a good fit.

The apprenticeship ended at noon, and everyone went to their respective places. And Tu Sanpao returned home with his new disciple Yan Zimo.

Today, Barton took a day off for this apprenticeship. The apprenticeship was over, and Tu Sanpao took him back to his courtyard, and it was at this time that Tu Sanpao began the real admonition.

"Zimo, you are a person who is very energetic! Conscientious. Here's the plus. In the living room, Tu Sanpao let his disciple stand beside him and then said in a deep voice: "But the impatient temperament and the lack of clarity are also the biggest problems. ”

Barton didn't squeak when he heard this, he knew his own business. In fact, because his character has offended many colleagues, he can't be completely unaware.

He's not stupid. Naturally, I don't know my personality very well. It's just that the character has been formed, but it is difficult to change.

"I told you before that after this apprenticeship I will be like half of your father. I need to teach you not only the fists and kicks, but also the principles of how to behave. Tu Sancang paused, and said in a deep voice to Barton: "Don't say anything about it." I came back with a lot of notebooks with Old Man Yan. After you finish practicing martial arts, you will practice calligraphy! Sharpen your temperament! ”

"Master, what is a grinding character?!" Patton paused for a moment and said to Tu Sancan. And the three guns explained with a smile: "This is grinding! It is to constantly make you do things that you are not willing to do, thus honing your human nature. Lao Yan said: The way of doing things is round on the outside and square on the inside. This sentence is very reasonable, and if there are too many water chestnuts on the body, it will hurt people. It will also be broken. If you are unlucky, you may be broken by others! These are to be grinded. ”

"To grind your temperament is to grind your joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, troubles, and resentment to indifference." But he saw Sanpao explain to his disciples: "We people who practice martial arts are originally irritable. If you are short-tempered, you will easily hurt people and provoke right and wrong. If the temperament is not sharpened, practicing martial arts is harmful! ”

Barton nodded, signaling that he understood. Then the three guns gossiped a few words, and let Barton go down to rest first. Today is the apprenticeship feast, and the formal learning has already begun.

Combined with Barton's time at work, he practiced martial arts in the morning and evening. In addition to the three guns themselves, Barton was also taught some grappling moves from Tu Qianjun.

The apprenticeship is over, and the negotiations between Yang Yuting and Blyukhel are almost at the end of the stage. Weapons, which Stalin desperately wanted! Since there could be more, Stalin was naturally willing.

Seeing the long list of weapons, Stalin, who was already strapped for funds, gritted his teeth! Lao Tzu bought it! A telegram was sent to Blyukhel, and the negotiations continued smoothly!

On April 30, 1937, Yang Yuting, on behalf of the three provincial governments of the three eastern provinces, and Blyukhel, the representative of the Soviet Union, reached a secret agreement. The three eastern provinces sold 300 tanks, 400 Tiger Shark fighters, 600 75-mm mountain guns, 600 150mm mortars, 1,000 heavy machine guns, 3,000 light machine guns, 10 million rounds of ammunition, and 6 million rounds of artillery shells to Blyukher.

Blyukher, on the other hand, paid more than 50,000 cultural relics and 300 tons of gold looted during the Russian period. The rest will be paid for in kind.

Most of Siberia was still in Stalin's hands, so there was a lot of raw materials hoarded. As a result of the war, most of them either entered Stalin's army or defected to Trotsky.

Most of these things are abandoned in mines or smelters, since they are all wasteland, why don't you exchange them for supplies?! With a wave of Stalin's hand, all these things were used as payment.

The remaining deficiencies are replaced by gold.

On May 1, 1937, the Stalinist regime in the Soviet Union announced that they were ready to "return" all the "unjust" wealth and antiques plundered during the Tsarist period to the governments of the three eastern provinces! In order to promote friendship between the two countries and realize the wishes of Comrade Lenin.

Immediately, the three eastern provinces announced that out of humanitarian considerations, the three eastern provinces would send 30 million tons of grain!

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is clearly a deal between the two parties! Trotsky, on the other hand, really didn't have a good idea to say anything, because Lenin did say that he would "return what had been looted by Tsarist imperialism."

Although this is a scene, it has been said after all. The three eastern provinces also said that it was "humanitarian assistance". And it's all food and no weapons, which is even more difficult to say.

When the Nanjing government heard the news, it continued to sulk, and the three eastern provinces and Stalin simply ignored them! The Nanjing Museum sent a few telegrams asking if it could transport those cultural relics to Nanjing for safekeeping.

However, the three eastern provinces refused, citing insecurity, as did Beijing. And these two sides are really not safe, can you bear it when the Japanese call?! One question will make them dumbfounded.

But behind the scenes, trains are departing from Mukden! Heading towards the Sino-Soviet border in Mongolia, the three eastern provinces sent a large number of burnt knives and caviar to the Soviet soldiers who escorted the antiques over.

The "friendship" between the two sides has really deepened because of this! With food, weapons and caviar, the Soviet troops went satisfied. The Wehrmacht, on the other hand, returned with antiques, gold, and iron ore supplies.

Since the beginning of 1937, the Japanese have fallen into an eerie calm. They no longer publish any harshly worded newspapers, nor do they say anything.

It is in stark contrast to the previous massive attacks on the three eastern provinces and the Nanjing government, and everyone is accumulating strength! And the nations are watching from the sidelines.

The mustache, who was far away in Germany, received a secret telegram with some angry wording, and a meeting ensued. When the conference was over, Hitler announced that "in view of the friendship with the three eastern provinces", after discussion, Germany decided to return "all the more than 60,000 antiques plundered from China during the Reich!" ”

For a time, the whole world was in an uproar! At this time, Britain, the United States and France could not sit still, especially Britain and the United States. They are much closer to the three eastern provinces than to Germany.

Moreover, they have a lot of industries and funds in the three eastern provinces! The Soviet Union made a gesture, and the Germans also made a statement. It seems impossible to say anything if I don't do something...... (To be continued.)
