Chapter 54: The Secret History of Martial Arts
"The Great Wei Kingdom can have the stability and prosperity it has today, and the people can be protected from the invasion of war and live and work in peace and contentment, all because of the existence of our martial arts people."
As the conversation deepened, Lei Shaoqing gradually showed Lu Ming and them a different martial arts.
"The two countries of Tatan and Puqiu are both located in the north of our Great Wei, and the Tatars belong to the nomadic people, and the men, women, and children in the tribe are all first-class in equestrianism, and they are all excellent light cavalry, and their personal combat effectiveness is also very strong. In terms of governance, Tatan is composed of dozens of tribes large and small, the small tribes have thousands of people, and the large tribes have more than 100,000 people, although these tribes have their own territories and leaders, but in military operations they are unified under the command of the largest tribe - the Watta tribe, it can be said that the Khan of the Watta tribe is the king of the entire Tardan!
Puchu is different, in terms of geographical location, Puchu is a little more north than Tataran, and they also have their own emperor and ministers to manage all the affairs of the country, but they are called kings and ministers. The population of Puqiu is only about 100,000, which is less than half of the population of Yuzhou, but in terms of the degree of threat, Puqiu is still above Tatardan. This is all because there are no idlers in Puqiu, and any of their people will have expertise in martial arts, drug making, medical skills, and mechanical skills, and will use the research in this area in the war between the two countries, and the damage caused to the Great Wei State every year is no less than that of Tatar.
These two nations, one with the best cavalry and the most combat-ready soldiers in the world, and the other with all sorts of tricks and intrigues, are truly invincible when combined. A hundred years ago, there were more than a dozen other large and small countries in the north of the Great Wei Kingdom, but in the end, they were all annexed or destroyed by these two countries without exception, and finally they set their sights on the richer and more powerful Great Wei.
The Great Wei State also suffered a big loss at the beginning, because it had never fought with such a strong army, coupled with the huge role played by the Puqiu State's poison control and siege vehicles in the battle, the Great Wei State lost nearly 1,000 acres of land in just one day, and lost 17 or 8 cities alone in half a month, and the casualties were even more numerous. Seeing that these two countries were about to go deep into the hinterland and take the most critical Huangzhou City, in order to avoid the displacement of the people and the misery of life, the three most powerful sects in the martial arts at that time finally united together, and these three major leaders led their disciples and like-minded people from all walks of life in the martial arts to directly kill the enemy's military camp and kill the commanders of these two countries directly.
This is not the end, the most shocking thing is that the head of the unruly door at that time, and also the first master of martial arts at that time - Merry Zhenren, went to Tatan and Puqiu alone, and it took a month to bring back the heads of Tatan Khan and King Puchu, although Merry Zhenren was also seriously injured and eventually died, but his behavior deeply shocked everyone, so that Tatar and Puqiu have not dared to make a big move, it can be said that Merry Zhenren has only single-handedly ensured the stability of the Great Wei Kingdom for nearly a hundred years.
Therefore, in the past hundred years, the composition of the three sects of the upper three sects will change, but there will always be the name of the unruly gate. And it is because of this that we, the martial arts people, have the opportunity to govern together with the imperial court. ”
Lei Shaoqing's tirade finally made Lu Ming understand why these martial arts people could have such an important position in the Great Wei Kingdom, and dared to feel that they were nuclear weapons used to deter foreign countries (especially Tatan and Puqiu) for the Great Wei Kingdom. Allowing them to participate in co-governance, on the one hand, can give martial arts people more sense of belonging, mission and responsibility, and on the other hand, after giving them certain rights, it also reduces the probability of these people rebelling and causing trouble. From this point of view, the co-governance, which originally seemed a little unreliable, now seems to be a clever trick to kill two birds with one stone, which shows that the royal family of the Great Wei State is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Isn't there a way to restrain you in these two countries? I heard that there seems to be a sect in Tartan and Puchu called the Northern League, what is going on with them? What about the Heaven Covering Sect, who is more powerful in the three sects between them and you? Also, I heard before that the Shangsanmen existed in the pre-Qin period, but listening to you now, it seems that it is only a matter of the past hundred years, what is the secret in this? ”
Lu Ming knew that Lei Shaoqing could understand and master so many secret histories of martial arts, and he must have something to do with the powerful intelligence agency behind the Famous Sword Villa, so he was not polite and asked some questions that he was more concerned about.
Since the topic has been in full swing, everyone simply does not move forward, but sits on the surrounding stones to rest, and Lei Shaoqing has once again become the focus.
"Hehe, Brother Lu, these questions you care about always seem strange, and sometimes I really feel that you are not from our place." The speaker had no intention of listening, Lei Shaoqing's unconscious words made Lu Ming and the others nervous, but it seemed that the other party was just saying it casually, and everyone smiled awkwardly in response.
"Let me answer your last question first, the Shangsanmen did exist in the pre-Qin period, but the Shangsanmen at that time and the Shangsanmen today are completely different from each other. There were only three sects of martial arts in the pre-Qin period, and these three sects were the upper three sects at that time, and the other sects were not recognized and were not allowed to be established. As for the current Shangsanmen, it is just a reference to the name of the pre-Qin, in order to highlight the majesty of the Shangsanmen, which is naturally too far behind the pre-Qin period. ”
"But I see that both the people of the Infinite Pavilion and the Valley of the Flame of Rage have a lot of respect for you, that kid named Di Lie is so arrogant, it's not that he doesn't dare to make a mistake in front of you." At this time, Gao Yu suddenly interjected on the side.
This sentence actually secretly praised the three sects and Lei Shaoqing, but Lei Shaoqing, who would be very proud when he heard these in the past, was a little silent this time, and took a while before he continued: "The Wuliang Pavilion was originally a third-rate sect, so whether it is the upper three sects or the six major sects, they can only keep their words and obey, and they dare not do anything to leave the pavilion." It's just that I didn't expect Huang Tianjun to be so bold this time, and he actually colluded with the Heaven Covering Sect. As for the Valley of the Flames, huh! ”
Speaking of this, Lei Shaoqing snorted coldly and said: "Their respect for our Shangsanmen is only superficial, as for the things I do in private, I still have some ears, and the reason why Wuliang Pavilion has come to this point is not unrelated to them." In fact, this is all good in the Valley of the Furious Flame, and some of the six major sects are even more desperate, and they can't wait to squeeze into the position of the upper three gates immediately, for the sake of the name of the upper three gates, they can do anything! ”
