During the period of the Republic of China, there was such a chess master in the Lianghu region, his name was Hu Mingcheng, and he was a master of using "soldiers", and people who knew his name at that time respected him as "chess general".

It's just that Hu Mingcheng was born low, there are not many battle masters, and he died young in his early forties, so the records of him in later generations are quite rare.

Even Yang Zheng only glanced at the life record of Hu Mingcheng, a chess general, in a journal of the Republic of China folk cattle issued in an unknown era on a second-hand bookstall by chance in the 90s, and learned about this person's legendary life. At that time, Hu Mingcheng was a rare chess celebrity in that periodical, and his pen and ink were even above the "chess fairy" Zhong Zhen and the first master of the Republic of China, Peng Shusheng, which shows how much the people who wrote this journal admired him.

Indeed, he is also worthy of worship, Hu Mingcheng's parents are martyrs of the Sichuan army, and he was an orphan since he was a child, in order to survive, he wandered around, and I don't know how much he went through, and finally wandered to the Lianghu area.

He was not smart since he was a child, and he was even a little stupid.

But he is always full of expectations for life, and he has done a lot of chores and endured a lot of hardships when he was wandering. But it is precisely because of this upheaval and displacement experience that he has always been full of compassion for the poor people when he grows up.

The way he approaches chess also sounds bizarre, bizarre to the point of being legendary like the plot of a novel.

I heard that Hu Mingcheng wandered to the vicinity of Dongting Lake when he was a teenager and pulled out half of the remnants of the music from the ashes of a ruined temple. And he also realized from this half of the remnant of the score that he later relied on to become famous "the way of using soldiers".

And he also completely got rid of the identity of a little beggar through the way of using troops on the residual score, and became a well-known chess master in the surrounding area.

He is not a famous player, because he is basically playing against the surrounding chess masters, and he does not have any amazing records, basically his chess life is mixed, but he has a chivalrous heart that many chess players do not have.

He gambled on chess, but never excessively, and he gambled for money.

He teaches chess, but the tuition fee is not high, so he can be fed.

He is willing to give, and whoever is in urgent need of money in the surrounding neighborhood will definitely give generously as long as he has it.

He has a patriotic heart, and when the country was in the most crisis, he not only took out all his belongings, but also joined the army.

He is just an ordinary and simple chess layman.

Because of his vulgarity, his story doesn't really have much to preach. is also because of his vulgarity, and his stories are basically passed on by word of mouth, and they have not been on the Internet that is said to be eternal.

But you have to admit that the reason why the chess culture of the Republic of China does not have a fault line like many traditional cultures is not only because of the top chess masters, but also because of the chess laypeople who love chess.

You also have to admit that the whole of China has changed from a war-torn past to a peaceful, stable, prosperous and powerful present, and it is inseparable from ordinary people who love the land under their feet and are willing to give all their net worth and even their lives.

Hu Mingcheng is such a person.

And his way of using troops, after his death, has slowly evolved into countless schools of use.

The way Dongdong is using to hide troops is actually the same way that Hu Mingcheng used to use troops before.

It is also a coincidence, according to the memories of Hu Mingcheng's comrades-in-arms, when Hu Mingcheng was in the army, chess was famous, and someone once asked him why he played chess so well, he once said such a sentence, that is: "Looking at the 32 sons of the chessboard, the horses and artillery are all in pairs, and there is only one general left. ”

It is because of this sentence that everyone found out that Hu Mingcheng is not stupid, even if he is stupid, he is wise and stupid.

The lone soldier is willing to have a deep meaning, which is probably the big truth that the half of the remnants of the spectrum told him.

……

Through his own imagination, Dongdong has his own unique views on chess.

She also used her own imagination to fit Hu Mingcheng's way of using soldiers.

This fit can even allow her to overcome her past, and because of this fit, she is no longer afraid of the three geniuses Li Tiandao, Yue Jianping, and Sun Pojun.

Man is strong because he is fearless, and man is invincible because of faith.

She obviously didn't sleep all night, but she was extraordinarily energetic.

She looked out the window at the white expanse, and she said cheerfully: "I'm also a genius!" A genius who doesn't lose to anyone! ”

……

Yang Zheng's new hairstyle made Peng Fei find a sense of intimacy, he patted Yang Zheng on the shoulder and laughed at Yang Zheng, who was actually a young man like him.

Listening to the three words of the young man, Yang Zheng was in a trance.

But this trance came and went quickly, and he immediately came to his senses and said, "Indeed, I am a young man. ”

Young people have given a lot of meaning in this era, but the biggest meaning is responsibility.

In this world where the cost of time is getting cheaper and cheaper, the age of 30 has always been a hurdle for men, and it should be the most exciting age, because this era has to face many major problems such as unemployment, illness, life pressure, buying a house and so on.

These major problems will also be accompanied by the anxiety behind the problems, so that many men will lose hope and faith when they reach the age of 30, and this anxiety will also make many men begin to doubt their own abilities.

This world is cruel, so cruel that there are real accidents everywhere, and it is also so cruel that all walks of life are seriously involuted.

But this world is also fair, at least everyone is equal in front of time, but what is different is everyone's mentality.

"Ever since I started playing chess, I always feel like I'm getting younger and younger!" Yang Zheng looked at the crowded venue, and he didn't know why he suddenly said this old-fashioned sentence again.

But Peng Fei couldn't hear any old-fashioned or anxious emotions in his tone, but heard from his tone the joy of a man who had been chasing his dreams.

"By the way, Brother Zheng, who do you think today's champion is?" Peng Fei changed the topic and continued to ask, he was very interested in today's game.

The wonderful performances of Li Tiandao and Yue Jianping, two small chess players, made him feel that Sun Pojun was actually not afraid.

Especially Li Tiandao, the little junior brother who came out of the chess academy with him, is now infinitely close to a first-class chess player, as long as he plays well in today's game, he is destined to become a chess master who will not lose to himself in the future.

"Champion?" Yang Zheng remembered Dongdong who left the scene early yesterday, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"I think it's better to see how the players perform today, right? Today's five players are not weak in terms of strength, but what they compare is actually their mentality. ”
