"Baiyunguan's "Shangdong True Scripture", Huang Shi also said, it is the cultivation of mana, strong mana does not necessarily mean that the true yuan is strong, this mana can only be cultivated after the innate realm, we still consider cultivating the true yuan first, and now that we have begun to cultivate the "Northern True Martial Martial Scripture", don't think too much, first practice the kung fu of this sect." Xiao Qing admonished.

"Well, I'm just talking. Also, our "Northern True Martial Xuan Sutra", as long as the true elements of water and fire are balanced, the "Shangdong True Scripture" requires the balance of five true elements, which is much more difficult than ours, and the cultivation progress is definitely not as good as ours. Chen Fan followed Xiao Qing's train of thought and said, it can be regarded as relieved.

"Are you going to practice swordsmanship?" Xiao Qing asked.

"Of course I plan to, or you teach me the basic movements." Chen Fan wanted to see Xiao Qing's swordsmanship before, just to see if he could learn two hands from him, but now seeing Xiao Qing take the initiative to ask, he immediately said.

"Fa Sheng, you better wait and practice the sword again." Huang Shi interjected on the side, "You have already started to practice qi, now the main thing is to open up the three yang and three yin meridians of the hands and feet, after these twelve meridians are opened, it is not too late to practice the sword." Like Aqing's sword practice, he relies on external skills, and it takes five years to become a small success, and if you open up the meridians, you will become a small success in a year at most. ”

"Thank you, Master Huang." Chen Fan bowed to Huang Shi, this was the first time Huang Shi gave Chen Fan martial arts advice, so he naturally wanted to thank him.

"No, that's what I said, how to make up your mind depends on yourself."

"Naturally, listen to Master Huang, it is difficult to collect qi, it is not easy to practice qi, and now I am subject to the lack of spiritual power in heaven and earth, I wonder if martial arts and cultivation can be carried out at the same time, and internal force and true yuan go hand in hand, so as to make up for the dilemma of lack of spiritual power."

"Well, your idea is very good, the theory is feasible, the internal force is formed by absorbing qi and blood, and the qi and blood come from food, relatively speaking, it is faster than absorbing the spiritual power between heaven and earth, and when you enter the school, the True Martial Arts Concept should have this method, you can find it."

"Well, it's just that I don't have a method for cultivating internal force right now, and it's best to cultivate to the stage of no leakage, which can be used as a reference." Chen Fan looked at Huang Shi and said, thinking to himself, if you have it, just give me one.

"Don't look at me, my internal cultivation method is not suitable for you, Aqing I only taught how to meditate, what you are learning now is Taoist exercises, which is the authentic mental method, and when you start school, there are martial arts classics in the Taoist temple, you can ask the master for advice, and you don't have to rush these days."

Also, there is no hurry to arrive, Chen Fan is right to think about it, arched his hand to Huang Shi and said, "Thank you Huang Shi for your advice." ”

"You're welcome."

"Let's talk while eating." The eldest brother, who had just gone out to take care of how the soldiers drove the route, took the Suzhou-style baked cakes back to the second floor and handed them to everyone.

"Thank you, big brother."

Everyone took the pancake and ate it.

"Fa Sheng, we will go to Shuiying soon, you see that is the entrance of the Shenjiang River, and we will enter from there when we return to Hudu." The eldest brother pointed to the entrance of Shenjiang and said.

"Big brother, how about you tell us about your water camp?"

"It's fine." The eldest brother thought for a while and said: "The highest official position in our water camp is the guard, which is held by my father, and the number is 1,000 people, and there are three soldiers in the army, ten hundred commanders, and one captain for every ten people. There are three ships in the army, and we are on one of them today. Each building ship can carry 300 soldiers, and there are also 20 ships and fighting ships. ”

"Big brother, how is the combat power of your navy? How much strength can a soldier reach? Seeing that the eldest brother was talking about this, Chen Fan stopped and not only asked.

"The combat power is okay, it is considered well-trained, the order is prohibited, and it is considered an elite soldier in the county. As for the strength of the soldiers, everyone is different, the range is between 150 kilograms and 300 kilograms, your eldest brother and I, now there are more than 200 kilograms, which can be regarded as the best in the army, and the overall strength of the entire army is also quite passable. ”

Chen Fan remembered that Xiao Qing said that the strength of practicing external skills can reach 500 kilograms, and the internal strength can reach 3,000 kilograms, and the normal adult male strength in modern society is about one hundred kilograms, and the era in which he is now is in the era of cold weapons, and the strength of soldiers is normal. It's just that it's still a little far from the height that Xiao Qing said.

"Isn't that a bit low? Ah Qing said, if you practice external skills, your strength can reach 500 kilograms, and if you practice internal skills, it will be even higher. ”

"Biography, whether it is external or internal strength, there are secrets. Now most of the soldiers are children of poor families, and when they were young, they did not have enough food and clothing, and when they came to serve as soldiers, their bodies were thin, their foundations were weak, and it was difficult to succeed. This internal strength is even more difficult, just the first level of meditation, it is difficult for someone to step through, even if it is crossed, it is very difficult to cultivate, to absorb the qi and blood in the body, you must eat well, but it is also very problematic to eat in the army. ”

"Is there poor food in the army?"

"It's not bad, I can only barely eat in a normal state. Do you know why in the army, the establishment is a thousand-person team, and often only 800 or even 700 people are accepted? It's because of the problem of eating. The soldier's monthly ration is five buckets with one stone, which is barely enough under the condition of normal physical consumption. However, once the training is intensified, the food consumed will inevitably increase, and it will also cause insufficient distribution. But soldiers are trained, so what can they do without training? Only by overreporting the number of people can we solve the problem, and this has become a common phenomenon in the military. ”

"And where is the barracks where you are, big brother?"

"Our barracks are okay, the personnel are basically full, thanks to the Yangtze River, so that we can catch some fish and shrimp for tooth sacrifices, and if we have more, we can sell some to make a little money, and finally we won't let the soldiers starve."

"On this river, how many water armies are there?"

"Wu Jun is just one of us."

"Just one, this is too little, can you manage it?"

"Our main purpose is to maintain local law and order and prevent the emergence of water bandits in the county, but fortunately, now Your Majesty is wise, and the lives of the people have been much better, and in recent years, there have been no big water bandits, so it's okay."

"Well, that's good. Big brother, is this the time? Chen Fan saw the boat moving towards the shore, and a river appeared, fifteen meters wide, and there were arrow towers built on both sides of the river, one was built every ten meters away, a total of six. The river is diagonally inward, except for the six arrow towers visible, only to see the hills in the distance, green trees, blocking the view. The surroundings of the arrow tower are bare, and it is estimated that the grass and trees have been emptied to prevent sneak attacks.

"Yes, if you enter this river, you will be inside."

"Why is there only an arrow tower and no walls?" There is another reason why Chen Fan wants to see the water camp this time, that is, he wants to know how the water camp was built, how the water gate was set up when the boats passed on the water? How to solve the problem of manure and drinking water in the camp? These are the details of army management, but they must be investigated, and then compared with President Lu's "Taigong Art of War", we can compare theory and practice to deepen our understanding.

"The river is too long, if the city walls are built on both sides, it will take labor, second, there are not so many people to guard it, and third, because of the existence of building ships, the defense is not very significant."

"It's a wall, not a wall." Chen Fan corrected. "As long as you build a wall of bricks and bricks, the arrow tower is built around the dock fort, surrounded by thick walls, the front and back doors are opened, the watchtower is built in the dock, the corner tower is built in the four corners, the shape is like a city system, the area does not need to be large, the length and width of 20 meters can be, even if there are two, it can be lived by soldiers in peacetime, and it plays a defensive role in wartime."

"Isn't that too much of a scattered force? We are sailors, not soldiers who protect the city, this enemy is attacking, our main task is to get on the ship to kill the enemy, these arrow towers, camps are not defended, discarded and discarded, even if it is burned, it is not a pity, but to build a Woo Fort, if it is taken by the enemy, or burned, then the loss will be great. ”

"Well, what the eldest brother said also makes sense, if two hundred soldiers are used on both sides of the river to defend, how these four hundred soldiers get on the boat to fight has become a big problem, and it is easy to be broken by people separately, I owe it to me." Chen Fan is not the kind of person who insists that he must be right, he wants to be the opposite, knowing that he is still a white man in the military at present, and he also knows that there must be a reason for the current deployment of the naval division, and the reason why he put forward his views just now is mainly to know how they think about it.

"No, it's the first time Fa Sheng has come to the water camp, it's good to have such an idea, I think it's feasible to build a wall between the arrow towers, and it's also feasible to build a dock fort in the middle of the camp to prevent the enemy from attacking." Xu was moved by Chen Fan's modest attitude, but the eldest brother was a little embarrassed and comforted him.
