Chapter 10: Martial Arts Conference, trapped in Guangzhou
Since the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese have been the largest number of foreigners in China, and there are many Japanese dojo shops in various places that sell Japanese goods for the purpose of stealing information. Zhang Xuanke knew that the Japanese were unique in their ability to do spies.
Hongkou Dojo is the largest dojo of the Japanese in China, and there are countless masters in it, in addition to some real warriors, more are samurai who have been influenced by ****, these people are the pioneers of the invasion of China.
In the past few years, I didn't see them because they didn't want to show off their might, but because they were still under the pressure of the Western powers, and now all countries are fighting, and although China is in civil strife, there is no foreign power to surround them, which gives the Japanese a chance.
The strongest on the bright side is Tanaka Yasano, and I have to say that this person is still a pure martial artist. "The Japanese are so deceitful!" A man shouted, "I have swept many martial arts halls one after another, and I have also threatened that the Chinese are the sick men of East Asia!" β
Seeing that someone was up, many people in the restaurant scolded again, and for a while, the group seemed to have the intention of a big war. "What's the noise, if you don't want to live, go to the Japanese Humanitarian Hall, what kind of prestige is here!" The people who came into the patrol room scolded when they saw this.
Seeing the people from the government coming, everyone bowed their heads and didn't speak just to eat and drink with peace of mind, Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart, "This is what Mr. Lu Xun said, the nature of the people." The revolutionary revolution is not complete, although the Republic of China is over, it is still more of a collection of warlords, and the common people are still ignorant and cowardly. β
Speaking of which, there are not many people who shed blood and sacrificed for the revolution, and the warlords died even more in the melee battles.
However, there are also a few people who really have the obsession of worrying about the country and the people, and have abandoned the desire to fight for power and profit. Zhang Xuan took people upstairs to discuss the company's affairs, and it was good to encounter the current matter, so he sighed.
"I didn't expect the Republic of China to become so unbearable!" Wang Wu drank the wine, looking a little resentful. "Isn't it better?" Zhang Xuan didn't care, although the country is still poor and weak, and there is more than infighting, but it is indeed a little better.
"The revolution in a foreign country is also a miasma of power and profit, and after a long time, various political parties have been established to stabilize," Zhang Xuan drank, "At present, there is only one party of the people, and corruption is naturally rampant without supervision." β
Huo Yuanjia frowned, "People like us who practice martial arts are not used to be brave and ruthless, many martial arts halls in Shanghai have been defeated in a row, it seems that this Japanese samurai does have merit." β
"Master Huo wants to make a move?" Zhang Xuan asked, if it is said that there are no masters in Shanghai, Zhang Xuan does not believe it, some masters are officials who cannot move lightly in the task of guarding the body, and more are Mingzhe who does not want to cause trouble, loses the battle, wins the battle and is excluded, and eats guns.
"I just want to meet friends with force and tell foreigners that Chinese are not weaker than others!" Huo Yuanjia's words made Wang Wu agree, "That's right, those people only know how to hide and want to be clean, but we are not afraid of things!" β
Wang Wu's words are not unreasonable, because Jingwu Company is a joint enterprise, and now it has opened up ocean routes, which can be described as a giant in the transportation industry, and the Japanese are not afraid of making trouble. Moreover, Zhang Xuan has become a first-class scholar in the world, and his reputation as a great musician is even more well-known in Europe and the United States.
"In that case, let's have a ring match" Zhang Xuan said with a smile, and said his arrangement, hold the world's first martial arts conference, invite brave people from all countries to participate, and see who is the strongest man in the world!
The preliminary plan, the competition is divided into three parts, fists and feet, cold weapons, hot weapons three categories, each champion has 50,000 oceans, and carefully standardize various rules, after the discussion will be taken.
The time is set in half a year, and the registration deadline is 4 months later, which is enough for people who want to participate in the competition to sign up, Zhang Xuan has made people all over the world publicize, and for a while, newspapers around the world have publicity, so that Zhang Xuan spent a lot of money.
I built a venue in the suburbs of Shanghai, although there is no ceiling, but there is no need for it, the seats are the main thing, and the sports meeting and concert will be held in the future, and some speeches and events can be held here, and people will sell advertising rankings, and then wait to buy tickets to make money.
After that, there were more people in Shanghai, there were a lot of people who participated in the world's first martial arts meeting, and the number of people who signed up was 1,000 and it was still growing, until the registration deadline, a total of more than 2,000 people participated, divided into three groups, the most was the fist and foot group, and the least was the hot weapon group.
It's a lot more lively, and even if the Japanese want to make trouble afterwards, they can't make trouble. There were also people from Jingwu Company who participated, and there were a lot of people, and I don't know how many masters have joined in during the time that Zhang Xuan is no longer there, and I don't know how many masters have been trained.
The game is very exciting, Zhang Xuan has already returned to his roots, and he has already made money in the top 16, "Xianggong, after that, it will be a net profit!" Guo'er looked at the ledger, she had been in charge for many years, and she was also surprised by such a huge head and such a rapid return speed.
"I'll sell the venue again and make more money." Zhang Xuan didn't care and planned the next step. In the top 16, Zhang Xuan met Ding Lianshan, Gong Baotian, Huo Yuanjia in the boxing and foot group, as well as Taijiquan Yang Can, Baji Boxing Zhang Li, Collapse Boxing Guo Yun, European boxing champion Carter, American boxing champion Ryan, Japanese masters Fumio Funakoshi, Kato Break, and other masters.
In the top 16 of cold weapons, I saw famous artists from all over the world, including Wang Wu, Li Shuwen, Taiji Sword Zhang San, Mandarin Duck Knife Qin Miao, Japanese Infant Knife Kanda Ichiro, Imperial Teacher Xi Yanagi Cotton, Tanaka Yasano, Western Sword Master James, Flower Foil Zoro, Heavy Spear Kane and so on.
There is no one else in the top 16 of thermal weapons except Dong Dahai, although others have good marksmanship, but the timing of thermal weapons is targeting, weapon strength and ammunition load are the main ones, Zhang Xuan thought that in a few years it would be a machine gun sudden.
The purpose of this contest is to enhance the confidence of the Chinese people, and the reason why the hot weapons are added is to let the Chinese people know how powerful foreign guns and artillery are, and that there will be a basis for confrontation against the Japanese invasion of China in the future.
At night, Zhang Xuan stood in front of the water tank, playing with the ball in the water with his hands, constantly hitting the ball to make the ball continue to splash, controlling the force so that the water splash did not splash the water tank, this is his own method of contacting the strength, although it is very naΓ―ve, but the requirements for the control of the force are very high.
After practicing for an hour, Zhang Xuan stood on the tiger makeup again, and his muscles and bones trembled between his breaths, which made his blood ripple, which had the effect of washing the essence and cutting the marrow. At present, Zhang Xuan is still some distance from the degree of qi and blood like mercury, and he is still pondering his strength, and he is still far from holding Dan, but a little progress can be seen.
After the top 16, it was a lot more intense, basically all of them were real masters, and the fierce fight for several days in the world's No. 1 martial arts meeting also ended successfully. The hot weapon was obtained by the German Kafka, and the cold weapon was obtained by Li Shuwen.
The fist and foot group was unexpected, Gong Baotian won the championship, originally these people's martial arts were comparable, but he was more calm and meticulous, and every time he won by a millimeter, this is where he excels.
Those who did not win the championship also gained a lot of fame in this conference, and for a time there was a style of practicing martial arts everywhere, and martial arts was originally a technique of defeating the strong with the weak, and the atmosphere was also changing a little bit.
After the Shanghai incident, Zhang Xuan was ready to sell his family's assets little by little, except for the house in the concession, Tianjin did not leave anything else, and there was no industry left in various places, and even Jingwu Logistics Company transferred its shares to the government.
The family didn't understand, but Zhang Xuan was in charge of the house, and they didn't say much, although it seemed to be peaceful at the moment, but it wouldn't be long before there would be war, so it would be better to leave early.
Leaving Tianjin, Zhang Xuan's family moved to the United States and lived in Chinatown, Zhang Xuan invested in Ford Motors to ensure that his family had no worries about food and clothing, and contacted Hongmen, who was promised to protect his family after joining the club. After that, he returned to Germany to continue his research.
The war was indeed a catalyst for scientific progress, quantum physics made great progress, and with the inflow of funds, various equipment was also established, and finally Zhang Xuan obtained complete theoretical knowledge. But this is not enough, there is still a long way to go from the theory of the atomic bomb to the construction of the atomic bomb.
Zhang Xuan went to graduate school in Germany and came into contact with some engineering and chemistry knowledge, among which Zhang Xuan was very happy that he found that penicillin was researched but no one continued to pay attention, Zhang Xuan and Lenny invested in it and put it into production, just waiting for a lot of returns.
After knowing about uranium ore, Zhang Xuan considered how to separate and purify, how to build, how to detonate and other theoretical research. He knew that once his research was discovered, he would not be free.
So he conceived it all first, and then put pen to paper when he had a safe time. Time flies, the war of aggression against China began, Zhang Xuan also had to leave Germany, if he doesn't leave now, he will either be a war criminal or a death row prisoner in the future.
Fortunately, now there is an ocean phone, but it is much more convenient, Zhang Xuan first returned to Guangzhou for transit, and then went to see Huang Feihong on the way, Huang Feihong has been obviously old in recent years, but he is still worried about the country and the people. "How is Master Huang doing?" Zhang Xuan asked?
Huang Feihong is also one of the founders of the Republic of China, and many parts of the Guangzhou Revolutionary Army were transformed by his militia, but unfortunately he had different politics and could only retire. But he couldn't rest assured that he had suppressed the Japanese invasion of China, "Why are there so many disasters and difficulties in China?" Huang Feihong was puzzled.
"Small chaos and small governance, big chaos and big governance" Zhang Xuan was not discouraged, "Although they were nominally together in the past, they were actually still working separately, but now the Japanese are attacking, which just arouses the hearts of the same enemy, and then it will inevitably usher in great governance."
"I naturally believe Zhang Gongzi's words!" Huang Feihong said, Huang Feihong rarely teaches people in Baozhi Forest, and now they are all Pork Rong and Liang Kuan to guide apprentices, and the sister-in-law and Que'er husband and son make people feel like they are in a different world.
A few days later, Bao Zhilin came to a noble son, his figure was not very tall, he was dressed in a rich silk shirt, gold ring, cloth shoes, and a civilized staff, seeing this person coming, Huang Feihong also introduced, "This is Ye Man's Ye Ji medicinal materials, and his martial arts are also very proficient!" β
