Chapter 23 The White Rabbit Wears a Crown Twenty-Three

In this way, the three hundred monks of the Shaolin Temple, who had never been disadvantaged, lost the first battle, and lost more and won less in the later battles. Another reason is that monks and soldiers do not like to kill, but the Japanese are extremely cruel. The monks and soldiers only wanted to capture the Japanese alive, but the Japanese did not care about the lives of their own people, they only knew how to kill people. The monks and soldiers must be careful about the local people, and second, they must pay attention not to make more killings, and of course it is not okay to worry too much.

After nearly a year of fighting, 300 monks and soldiers were killed and wounded. The imperial court had no choice but to announce the repatriation of the monks, and the monks failed for the first time. Of the remaining monks, only seven returned to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan. Some monks have remained in Fujian ever since. First, he came to guard the spirits of his brothers, and secondly, he was determined not to defeat the Japanese and not return to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan.

Yu Dayou is actually a lay disciple of Songshan Shaolin Temple, and he is also a disciple with a high seniority. He not only learned hard kung fu, but also combined the Shaolin stick method with the combat stick method in the army to create his own stick method. At the same time that he popularized his stick method to the Fujian army, he also went to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan and once again invited the monks and soldiers to go down the mountain.

But this time Yu Dayou was smart, and he invited the monks and soldiers of Shaolin Temple as coaches to teach the soldiers as the main ones. After the monks and soldiers were familiar with the geographical environment of Fujian, they were sent to cooperate with the soldiers. In this way, not only is it easy for the masters of Songshan Shaolin Temple to accept, but also can play the greatest role in this group of monks. Songshan Shaolin Temple initially agreed to Yu Dayou's request, but it still needed a letter from the imperial court to transfer troops. Yu Dayou came forward and asked Hu Zongxian, the governor of Jiangnan, to play the imperial court, and once again asked the monks and soldiers of Songshan Shaolin Temple to go down the mountain to Fujian to help.

The letter of transfer of troops from the imperial court was sent to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, and the Shaolin Temple once again organized monks and soldiers to go to Fujian. But in order to better command and control this monk army, the Shaolin Temple decided to hand over the command to Master Xiaoshan in Fujian. Master Xiaoshan turned out to be a disciple of Shaolin Temple and the first batch of monks. Later, he volunteered to stay in Fujian, and while building a pagoda for his brothers, he was familiar with the customs of Fujian and the situation of the Japanese invaders. The intelligence materials of the Japanese were sent many times, which was convenient for the monks and soldiers of the Shaolin Temple to practice.

When Qin Tai came to Putian, Master Xiaoshan had just received a letter from Shaolin Temple. The letter not only agreed with Master Xiaoshan to establish the lower courtyard of the Shaolin Temple in Fujian, but also handed over the future command of the monks to Master Xiaoshan. The abbot of Shaolin Temple also asked Master Xiaoshan to find a reliable local general to lead this group of monks and soldiers to fight against the Japanese. Master Xiaoshan himself has a good feeling for Yu Dayou, and it is still a brother-in-law relationship. However, Master Xiaoshan was very dissatisfied with the violations of law and discipline by Yu Dayou's subordinates.

At this time, Qin Tai's appearance made the eyes of this mountain master shine. Qin Tai is not only a good official who loves the common people, but also a magistrate with strict military discipline. The soldiers around Qin Tai are all local Fujian, and they have a deep relationship with the people of Fujian, so they will fight harder and will not bully the local people too much. Unlike Yu Dayou's army, which comes from all over the world, and there are some robbers and bandits who recruit An, they don't care about the life or death of the people, and they are also careful when they fight.

Therefore, Master Xiaoshan invited someone to ask to see Qin Tai, hoping that Qin Tai could come to the newly built Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian. It just so happened that an old monk said that he knew Qin Tai and used to be Qin Tai's master. Master Xiaoshan carefully asked this old master about Qin Tai, and the old elder knew everything and told everything he knew. Master Xiaoshan likes this Lord Qin Tai who is related to the Buddha even more.

At this time, Ichiro Tanaka had just ended the First World War, and the city of Putian needed manpower and material resources to recover. Although more and more people are joining, most of them are elderly people and children. Soldiers are not replenished quickly, and this is a fatal problem. What if other pirates come to commit it? What should I do if Yu Dayou's stragglers come?

Master Xiaoshan's invitation made Qin Tai's eyes light up. Qin Tai once heard a local person in Putian say that there is a temple not far from Putian, and there are some original Shaolin Temple monks and soldiers in it. Although they are not many in number, they are all very skilled. If they can be invited, not only will Putian City be safe, but the trained soldiers will definitely be one as ten.

Qin Tai took Zhan Xiaoxiao and Xiao Lingzi to this famous Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian, which later became famous. Master Xiaoshan came out with the monks of the whole temple to greet Qin Tai, and Qin Tai greeted Master Xiaoshan and the old elder as a disciple. Master Xiaoshan and the old elder expressed great satisfaction with Qin Tai's politeness.

Zhan Xiaoxiao still had seven wounds on his body at this time, and his face was very pale. Qin Tai didn't want to take Zhan Xiaoxiao out, but Zhan Xiaoxiao was worried about Qin Tai's safety and insisted on coming to the temple with Qin Tai. Xiao Lingzi and Qin Tai also had some injuries on their bodies, but they were not as serious as Zhan Xiaoxiao. Zhan Xiaoxiao was found by the people from the pile of dead people, and at that time, Qin Tai repeatedly verified Zhan Xiaoxiao's physical signs. finally measured Zhanxiao's vitality, and Zhanxiao's life was saved by Qin Tai. The "old drunkard" master tried his best to dissuade Qin Tai from treating Zhan Xiaoxiao on the spot, and gave first aid to Zhan Xiaoxiao in a dark room. As for Zhan Xiaoxiao's external injury, after Zhan Xiaoxiao woke up, let Zhan Xiaoxiao take medicine by himself. This is all to keep people from knowing Zhanxiao's true identity, otherwise the truth of Zhanxiao's girl would have been exposed. After waking up, Zhan Xiaoxiao was relieved to find that his secret was not known to everyone. However, due to the lack of timely treatment, Zhan Xiao's injury recovered relatively slowly.

Master Xiaoshan is a martial arts practitioner, and he is also a person who understands medical science, and knows that Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao are all injured, especially Zhan Xiaoxiao's injuries are very serious. I asked the disciple to take out the healing medicine he usually developed for everyone. These drugs are not only applied externally, but also taken internally, and have a good effect on internal and external injuries. This is due to the precious herbs on the mountains here in Putian, Fujian, as well as the profound knowledge accumulation of the mountain master.

Zhan Xiaoxiao was embarrassed to take medicine in public, but he had already heard of the medicine in Shaolin Temple. Not only happy to accept, but also to express great gratitude. Xiao Lingzi didn't care at all, he took off his clothes and took medicine on the spot, and the disciples helped Xiao Lingzi with medicine under the hint of Master Xiaoshan. As soon as Xiao Lingzi took the medicine, he knew that this medicine was really good, and with this kind of injury medicine, the chance and speed of the injured person's recovery would be greatly improved.

Qin Tai was also hindered by his identity, and he was embarrassed to take off his clothes and take medicine in public. I took the wound medicine that I took internally and applied externally, and prepared to go back and use it again. But Zhan Xiaoxiao on the side, after taking the injury medicine on the spot, forced Qin Tai to take the injury medicine on the spot like himself. Qin Tai had no choice but to listen to Zhan's words and take the wound medicine prepared by Master Xiaoshan himself.

Not long after taking the injury medicine, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao both felt the effect of the medicine. Zhan Xiaoxiao is a martial arts practitioner and is particularly sensitive to the absorption of medicinal power. Qin Tai is a healer, and he also understands the power of Master Xiaoshan's medicine very well. Qin Tai had a plan in his heart, and the official came forward to fund and ask Master Xiaoshan and the disciples to prepare the wound medicine. As long as this wound medicine is in hand, it can greatly improve the healing ability of the Ming soldiers. It can be used not only by soldiers from Fujian, but also by soldiers from the whole southeast, and by soldiers from all over the country. It can be used not only by soldiers, but also by wounded civilians. This is a great good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is also a good thing for the benefit of future generations.

Zhan Xiaoxiao, who has taken the wound medicine, needs to breathe and speed up the effect of the medicine. Xiao Lingzi couldn't sit still either, and wanted to go around the temple. Qin Tai was invited by Master Xiaoshan and the old elder to a pavilion in the back mountain, and the three of them chatted while drinking tea.

Qin Tai not only admired the knowledge of Master Xiaoshan and the old elder, but also admired Master Xiaoshan's benevolence and righteousness even more. Master Xiaoshan not only worshiped the Buddha and worshiped the Buddha in his life, but also had all living beings and people in his heart. For the sake of the people of Fujian, Master Xiaoshan still stayed in Fujian, and while preaching the Dharma and Taoism for many years, he studied the geographical environment, made panacea, taught the people martial arts, and understood the dynamics of the Japanese Invaders. All of these are great good deeds, and they are all reasons why the people respect Master Xiaoshan. Qin Tai, like ordinary Fujian people, has special respect for this mountain master.

In a consultative tone, Qin Tai asked Master Xiaoshan to help the people of Fujian make medicines, and promised to send his disciples down the mountain to help Qin Tai defend against the Japanese invaders. Master Xiaoshan not only agreed one by one, but also told Qin Tai an exciting news. Soon after, the second group of monks from the Shaolin Temple will come to Fujian and be stationed near the Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian. When the time comes, it can not only help Qin Tai train his troops, but also directly help Qin Tai fight the Japanese invaders. Qin Tai was extremely grateful for Master Xiaoshan's trust.

On the recommendation of the old elder, Qin Tai became a lay disciple of Master Xiaoshan and renamed Master Xiaoshan as his master. The future monk will be Qin Tai's brother or nephew. This is to better win over Qin Tai, and it is also for Qin Tai to better control the monks and soldiers in the future.

With the help of Master Xiaoshan, the injured in Putian City quickly recovered. There are more and more people around, and the number has exceeded 200,000. The food problem has become a big problem, not only is the grain brought by Qin Tai himself almost exhausted, but also the 20,000 stone of rice once a month is not enough. Qin Tai asked Tan Lun to add more food many times, but Tan Lun couldn't do anything. At this time, the battle situation changed because of Qin Tai, and the Ming army changed from the original defense to a counterattack. As a result, supplies and food at the front line are even more strained. There was almost no food to take care of the people in the rear, and even some people in Zhejiang were hungry to support the front line.

As soon as the monks and soldiers of Shaolin Temple arrived in Fujian, they did not go to Yu Dayou's department, but stayed here in Qintai. This made Yu Dayou very dissatisfied, the monks and soldiers were asked by themselves, but they were not under their own control. Everything is fine, the new Qin Tai, don't say that Yu Dayou is unwilling, even Hu Zongxian is unwilling. But they didn't have any way, Qin Tai and the monks and soldiers were willing to do so, and they cooperated quite tacitly. Qin Tai's number of soldiers was not only restored, but also grew a lot. Because of the teachings of the monks and soldiers, and the soldiers who are all local soldiers in Fujian, they are very brave in battle. immediately surpassed Yu Dayou's department, and vaguely could compete with Qi Jiguang's Qi family's army. Because Qin Tai's soldiers are all Fujianese and belong to local combat, they are flexible and flexible, and the people are particularly supportive, so they are invincible, and they are called "Changsheng Army" by the local people. Qin Tai also resettled the original refugees in Fujian, and not only did they solve the problem of food and clothing, but also their living conditions gradually improved.

Qin Tai eats and lives with everyone, he eats whatever the people eat, and he sleeps there wherever the people sleep. Some of the children even call Qin Tai "big brother" or "uncle", and he is like a family with the people of Fujian. When he was free, Qin Tai was always with everyone, everyone taught Qin Tai to speak some Hokkien dialect, and Qin Tai taught everyone some simple rescue knowledge.

In Fujian, as long as there are conscripts, the local people will have two completely different attitudes. Qin Tai's people came to recruit soldiers, everyone was politely entertained, and the young men rushed to sign up for the army. If other armies came to recruit soldiers, everyone would close the door and give them a "closed door". This annoyed all the generals, but was there anything that could be done. Whoever called them did not observe discipline and sinned against the people of the land. Qin Tai has also taken over many cases of other army soldiers bullying the people, no matter how big the other party's backers are, as long as Qin Tai knows about them, these officers and soldiers will be killed. The people of Fujian applauded, and the soldiers were terrified. Some soldiers gave Qin Tai a nickname behind his back, called "Living Hades".
