Huozhou is a famous city in southern Jin, not to mention anything else, at present, the state government office occupied by Long 13 covers an area of 40,000 square meters, and it is not too crowded to throw all the cavalry led by Long 13 into it.

Its circumference is at least more than ten miles, and its regulation was formed when Li Shimin's troops went north to attack Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin in the Tang Dynasty.

Or two cross streets, the whole city is divided into four square districts, in the middle of the square area is the bell and drum tower, the city god temple, each square area is divided into four small square districts by two cross streets.

Long 13 roughly calculated that the entire city covers an area of about 3 million square meters, and each large square area is about 500,000 square meters, so each small square area is about 100,000 square meters.

Covering an area of 100,000 square meters, it was also a large community in later generations.

The city wall is more than four zhang high, three zhang wide, and surrounded by a moat as deep as one zhang, if he did not earn it with a trick, but relied on ants to attack the city, there are no ten thousand ravines, bait can not be taken.

There are two school fields in the city, one large and one small, stationed in tens of thousands of steps.

Such a city is now in his hands, if it weren't for the strong enemies around him, Long Thirteen really wanted to stay here for a long time.

The south, north and east sides of the city are mountains, the west side is the Fen River, and it is between the North Jian River and the South Jian River, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is blessed with unique nature, and it is really a place of beauty.

There were originally two offices in the city, one was naturally the Zhizhou Yamen, the other was the garrison Yamen, and the other was the residence of Huang Yunfa, one of the eight Jin merchants.

And let Li Zhanchun, who was responsible for investigation and public security, occupy the garrison yamen.

After taking down Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Wang Dayu, and Huang Yunfa's lair in a row, although the number of people and horses of Long Thirteen has reached 6,000, the food he captured is enough for him to support him for two years, and the silver is more, which can meet his salary for three years!

This is the benefit of a thief, a character like Huang Yunfa, although he is just a businessman, but his family also has jinshi, lifting people, and there are many talents, and he has a wide range of connections in the civil and official system and the military general class, as for the mine supervisor, inspection department, warehouse ambassador, mine ambassador and other seemingly lowly officials, Huang Yunfa also spared no effort to make friends.

As a result, he could hoard a large amount of money, food, and materials, but the civil and military officials who were short of pay and food did not dare to squeeze it from him at will.

Of course, without military affairs, to a certain extent as an official, such as a civil official to achieve a county order, a military attache to achieve a thousand generals, he must have no worries about food and clothing, relying on the bribes, filial piety and a large surplus of these businessmen.

The so-called "three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver" is not a joke.

However, even if the officials and generals have money and grain, it is impossible for them to pay their subordinates food and salaries out of their own pockets.

Thus, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the real wealth was actually enormous, because since the discovery of the huge silver mines in Peru by Spain, most of them have flowed directly and indirectly (the triangular trade of the Dutch) to the Ming Dynasty, plus half of the silver from Japan has also flowed to the Ming Dynasty, and for hundreds of years, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, its silver stock should have been about one billion taels.

Most of these silver taels are hidden in the homes of wealthy merchants and gentry, and people like the eight families of Jin merchants can easily produce more than 100,000 taels at home.

After Xiaoqianglu took over Huozhou, in addition to looting all the money and materials hidden in the old house of Huang Yunfa, one of the eight major Jin merchants, and suppressing the people in the city who were extremely angry and raiding their homes, they did not commit any crimes against ordinary households, and also gave all the money and grain from the state treasury to poor households.

Of course, Long 13 also knew that not all poor households were good people, and he would not be polite to those scoundrels and people.

Ten days after taking over Huozhou City, after understanding the situation in the city, he killed hundreds of people in front of the City God Temple.

Since then, the situation in the entire city of Huozhou has been calm.

So, when he walked on the street with Li Zhanchun and Long Xiaoshi, although there were only more than ten guards around him, he didn't have anything to worry about.

The state government is in Dafang, the northeast district of the city, and the business district is in Dafang, the southwest district, and Long Shisan's party crossed the entire block and soon came to the business district.

He came today, not for anything else, but to find a martial arts hall here.

After coming to the business district, go inside, in the middle of this large square was originally a temple, but now it has been changed into a medical hall and martial arts hall.

This martial arts hall is not set up by the Ji family in Shanxi, and the Ji Jiajie he saw before is now long gone.

"Putian South Shaolin Town Guerrilla Lin Family Martial Arts Museum"

It turned out that this was a martial arts hall opened after General Lin, who had fought against the Japanese with Yu Dayou, the general of Fujian, and was posthumously named a guerrilla general after his death.

Of course, the owner of this martial arts hall is not only proficient in the martial arts of Southern Shaolin, but also the third generation of Xiucai in Benzhou, the best at medical skills, not the martial arts hall, but the gentry identity is the secret of his family's standing in Huozhou for a hundred years.

Long 13 since receiving the training of the Ji family martial arts hall in Suidezhou City, his martial arts skills are increasing day by day, he has learned modern techniques in later generations, plus the assistance of simulators, and now he is quite accomplished in marksmanship, knife skills, fists and feet, and archery.

At present, his various assignments are above 80, the most critical force value is as high as 92, and the commander value related to defense is also 87.

I heard Long Xiaoshi say that the "Wei Tuo Fist" and "Wei Tuo Gun" here are very famous, and he brought Li Zhanchun and Long Xiaoshi over with him when he had a little leisure today.

Today, others can probably see that Long Thirteen relies heavily on the sixteen-year-old talent Long Xiaoshi in literary affairs, and relies on the "Black Harrier" Li Zhanchun a lot in intelligence, and as for staying in the rear, Yuan Zongdi is the mainstay.

Long Thirteen is a very low-key person, especially in the current situation of temporary occupation, but Long Xiaoshi is in charge of the government affairs of Huozhou City, and the security in the city is Li Zhanchun's responsibility, and it is impossible for these two martial arts people not to know.

Therefore, when the gatekeeper of the martial arts hall saw that he and the two of them were surrounded by a young man with a slightly dark complexion, a tall and straight figure, and an extraordinary bearing, they immediately realized who this person was and hurried over to greet him.

Soon, a man came out of the martial arts hall, about thirty years old, with a medium build, three long beards, and looked like a scholar more than a martial artist.

"Meet the big boss, I am Lin Yitang, the host of the martial arts hall"

Long 13 nodded, "I heard that you are from Shanxi Wuju?" ”

The man's face was slightly red, and he sneered: "The big boss said that he was joking, that is the identity of my family's donation."

Under the leadership of Lin Yitang, Long Shisan and others stepped into the martial arts hall, the martial arts hall here is different from Suidezhou City, the first entry is still the stable, the cart and the place where the people live, the second entry is a large courtyard, on both sides are swords, guns, swords and halberds and other eighteen weapons, and there are more than ten apprentices practicing martial arts in the middle.

Long Thirteen stood and watched for a while, and soon he knew what he knew.

"It is said that the martial arts of this museum are mainly vigorous and fierce, and most of them are called by Wei Tuo, or Wei Tuo box, or Wei Tuo gun, or Wei Tuo knife, but it is very suitable for the current army."

"His Wei Tuo knife is actually a popular long-handled knife in Shaanxi and Shanxi at this time, which is commonly known as the Pu knife, about one meter and five long, when he was in Suidezhou City before, Jijia Wuguan taught the famous wind knife method in northern Shaanxi that is said to have been handed down by Li Jing, and later the Xixia people accepted it and improved it."

"The broadsword technique practiced by Li Zicheng and others is this method, and almost everyone in northern Shaanxi can play twice, but the broadsword used by Li Zicheng and others is very similar to that used in the War of Resistance in later generations."

"But this martial arts hall is still taught by the Pu Dao technique"

After a while, the figures of two people in the field jumped into his eyes.

"These two people are about in their early twenties, their faces are similar, one of them is stout, and a Weituo knife dances vigorously, not to mention anything else, at least they have a lot of strength."

"In addition, the person has a long body, and he is also dancing with a Wei Tuo knife, compared to the person just now, the knife is slightly smaller, compared to the previous person, this person is calm and ......"

Just thinking about it, Lin Yitang said: "Big boss, that man's name is Li Zhong, he is my junior brother, and the person next to him is called Li Xin, this person is not simple......

"Oh?"

Dragon Thirteen suddenly thought of something.

"These two people are the apprentices of the late father, the first father once served as a pawn in Qi County, Henan, where the two brothers were accepted as apprentices, these days are just the father's sacrifice day, the two junior brothers came over a month in advance, then Li Xin is a Henan Wenwu Xiucai"

"Boom ......"

Long Thirteen pulled out the long knife on his back, with his current force value and commander value, when he pulled out the long knife, the sound of the blade rubbing against the scabbard had a sonorous sound, and as soon as this sound came out, the training in the field immediately stopped.

However, the Li brothers were not disturbed, and they danced freely.

Long Thirteen's long knife found Li Zhong's long knife!

I saw that Li Zhong was not stage frightened, and when he saw that Long Thirteen was coming, he also picked up a long knife and greeted him!

"Boom!"

"Dang!"

Xu Yanqi's long knife is made of cycads, which is very sophisticated, and Li Zhong's long knife looks of good quality, Long Thirteen uses the popular wind knife method in northern Shaanxi, while Li Zhong uses the authentic Wei Tuo knife method, both of which are vigorous and fierce.

So, I saw:

Long Thirteen is like a tiger descending from the mountain, the tiger is mighty, and Li Zhong is like a bear in charge, immovable.

The two of them have been fighting for about ten rounds, after all, Long Thirteen's force value is higher, since he used the long knife he is not good at to kill Xu Yanqi, whose force value is much higher than him, he has been using the sword technique to make a lot of progress.

I saw that he suddenly dragged the knife and retreated, and just when Li Zhong was still hesitating whether to follow, he turned around again and continued to drag the knife and rushed towards Li Zhong in a trotting attitude!

At this time, although his long knife is dragged on the ground, but its knife edge is downward, according to the long knife technique at this time, whether it is the wind knife method in northern Shaanxi or the popular Pu knife knife method, even when dragging the knife, the knife edge will be upward, so that when encountering the enemy, you can use your waist strength to pull upward, the so-called fire burning sky.

Although Li Zhong was a little surprised, he still used the most commonly used "knife splitting Huashan" style to deal with the fire and burning the sky, holding the knife in both hands and slashing down from top to bottom against Long Thirteen!

Everyone on the side was nervous.

Lin Yitang was particularly nervous, he knew how powerful his junior brother was, although he was his own junior brother, but he had already surpassed him in the attainment of the Wei Tuo Knife, in the past few years, in the name of the director of the martial arts hall and the director of the medical hall, he actually practiced medicine far more than practiced martial arts.

However, Li Zhanchun and Long Xiaoshi were unmoved.

"Boom !!"

I only heard a loud bang, and the winner was already divided in the field!

Long Thirteen still used the Burning Heaven Style, but the same move was used by him, a person with a force value of 92, just like Xiao Feng used the Taizu Long Fist, which was still unstoppable!

In the flash of light, the spine of the knife about three millimeters thick met Li Zhong's long knife, the momentum of the dragging knife, the waist strength of Long Thirteen's tall body, arm strength, and force value, not only immediately made Li Zhong's long knife cut in two, but Li Zhong couldn't grasp the remaining half of the knife!

"Pounce"

Half of the knife fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the long knife in Long Thirteen's hand had already reached his throat!

Li Zhong was very generous, he immediately hugged his fists and saluted: "The big master is good at martial arts, I admire it."
