Chapter 149: The Martial Arts Examination (Part II)

As early as the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although Emperor Taizu Gao had announced that he would divide the civil and military examinations, he had not implemented the martial arts examinations, and there was no martial arts.

The first development node of Wuju was the Tianshun period after the change of Tumubao; The second development node is the Jiajing period.

Of course, if there is no Lin Daguan to travel and change history, there will be a third development node in the future of Wuju, that is, the Chongzhen period.

From these points in time, it can be seen that the imperial court's attitude towards martial arts is basically to engage in martial arts after military problems, and to rush to the doctor in a hurry.

In today's Wanli Dynasty, although the martial arts system is relatively mature, a large number of imitations of the liberal arts examination system have been imitated, and there are also township examinations and meeting examinations.

But so far, the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty has not really held a palace test, that is to say, the martial arts have not produced a martial champion.

At present, the so-called martial arts champion is actually only the first place in the martial arts examination, which can only be equivalent to the huiyuan of liberal arts.

If the original historical trajectory is followed, the first real martial champion will not appear until the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Xing Xunpress was probably too lazy to delay time, and when he returned to Suzhou, he released a notice board and began to inspect the martial arts candidates.

The first to be inspected was the candidates from Wu County, the capital county of Suzhou, and the martial arts inspection time was set for May 25 at the Suzhou Health School.

Lin Tailai took the Zhang brothers with them, brought the common weapons such as big guns and double whips, and rushed to the Suzhou Guard School in the north of the city early.

"What? Don't let bring weapons? Lin Tailai questioned the sergeant guarding the gate: "How can you practice martial arts without weapons?" ”

The sergeant guarding the door said lazily: "Knives, guns, bows, horses, and stone piers are all prepared inside, and candidates don't need to bring their own!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Tailai curiously, he had never seen someone wearing a long-sleeved shirt to take the martial arts test, I was afraid that his brain was in water?

The rules are the rules, and Lin Daguan can only abide by them, so he can only leave the double whip and the big gun outside the field and enter the school field alone.

Of course, the sergeant didn't expect that there was still an iron-knuckled tiger hidden in the big sleeves of Lin Daguan.

After entering the school field, I saw that there were already twenty or thirty people gathered near Dianjiangtai, and they were talking lively, which was completely different from the Wenchang exam.

Lin Tailai walked over, stood on the periphery and observed, and understood.

These twenty or thirty people are all children of Suzhou Wei's military households, so they can get together and talk together.

The real people who signed up for the martial arts show seem to be the only one so far.

The martial arts examination has a role, and it is also to give those military households who have no inheritance rights a way out.

And just like Pang Siyi said, ordinary people don't have the opportunity to touch bows and arrows and the like, and Suzhou people don't love literature but martial arts, and not many people sign up for martial arts.

Therefore, Wuju is nominally for all the people, but in fact, to a large extent, it is the private land of the children of military families.

Even the children of military families in Suzhou City can pass the test, and there are only twenty or thirty people standing here.

After all, there are hard indicators for martial arts displays, whether the arrow can be shot, whether the stone pier can be moved, it is not easy to deceive.

Lin Tailai turned around, but he still couldn't fit into the circle of these military children, but was faintly ostracized.

After all, the people standing here are all here to compete for the quota of Wu Xiucai!

And Lin Tailai's height and physique, at first glance, he is a person who grabs places, and he is not their "own person" in the military household, he is still an outsider.

Isolation is a trivial matter, and even some impure people have begun to figure out how to get rid of this competitor.

This is especially true for those who have given up the bow horse event and opted for the brawn and martial arts events.

Although he felt the unfriendly atmosphere, Lin Tailai was not afraid.

Today's inspector is Xing Xunpress, and he and Xing Xunpress can talk!

But at this time, Xing Xunpress had not yet arrived, and there were several stone piers in the shade next to the general's platform.

The people waiting for the start of the examination were in the shade, talking and laughing around the stone pier.

There are four specifications of the stone pier, the three conventional ones are 200 catties, 250 catties, 300 catties, and there are grooves on both sides of each stone pier for people to get started.

If you don't plan to test the bow and arrow, you can choose brawn and other weapons, and these three stone piers are the props to assess the size of brawn.

In addition, there is an unconventional 500-pound stone pier, which is not used as a regular assessment prop.

Suddenly, the crowd began to coax, and a man named Han Yuanguang was picked up to try the 300-pound stone pier.

This is a strong man compared to ordinary people, and his height is only one head shorter than Lin Tailai.

Standing in front of the three-hundred-pound stone pier, Han Yuanguang moved his arms for a while, then lifted his placket and grabbed the groove of the stone pier with both hands.

"Drink!" Han Yuanguang shouted, his face was hideous, his arms were forced, and he moved the stone pier in one breath!

And all the way to the height between the chest and abdomen, and only then threw the stone pier down.

"Good!" "Mighty!" "Ruthless!" "Convincing!"

The crowd suddenly erupted in cheers, and they kept cheering around Han Yuanguang.

Only Lin Tailai, who was standing behind the crowd, chuckled a few times and shook his head disapprovingly.

There are also stone piers in the front yard of Tangkou, I don't know how many hundred catties they are, but they must be bigger than this three hundred catties, and he has moved them.

So in Lin Tailai's eyes, lifting three hundred catties of stone piers is really nothing.

Han Yuanguang looked around triumphantly, and when he accepted everyone's praise, he happened to see Lin Tailai's disapproving expression.

"What are you laughing at?" Han Yuanguang suddenly pointed at Lin Tailai and asked.

Lin Daguan has been in the expansion period recently, and he responded without thinking: "I just laugh at you!" ”

Han Yuanguang separated the crowd, walked up to Lin Tailai with a few friends, and threatened: "You laugh again?" ”

Lin Tailai said contemptuously: "What's wrong with Xiaoling? Can you still have less meat? ”

Han Yuanguang felt that the atmosphere was brewing in place, and he took advantage of it, so he glanced at his friends left and right.

It's time to get started! If a household like Lin Tailai signs up for martial arts, the project is definitely not a bow and arrow, it must be the strength and martial arts that compete with him!

Then Han Yuanguang suddenly swung a punch and hit Lin Tailai directly in the face.

Lin Tailai's reaction speed was far beyond ordinary people, and he shook his head to dodge the punch, and then reflexively punched back.

At this time, Lin Daguan's heart was still a little excited, but he didn't expect that he would have his favorite project as soon as he entered the school.

Han Yuanguang didn't expect that the surprise punch would be dodged, and he hit it too hard, and his body inertia was still moving forward.

This caused Lin Tailai's quick return fist to hit him, and the inertia of Han Yuanguang's whole body had not been withdrawn, and he was punched hard in the face.

Immediately, Han Yuanguang fell to the ground on his back and fell directly unconscious.

Han Yuanguang's friends reacted at this time, and they didn't bother to check Han Yuanguang, and rushed towards Lin Tailai together.

The children of military families who can stand here to compete for Wu Xiucai are generally stronger than ordinary people, and they can also do kung fu to some extent.

Therefore, Lin Tailai didn't dare to carelessly stay still, and hurriedly turned around and ran along the steps to the high point of the platform.

By the way, he quickly took out the iron finger tiger and put it on, and then he stubbornly guarded the entrance of the steps.

This would ensure that at most two people would rush towards him, so that he would not be surrounded on all sides.

Now there is no one with a wicker basket to help him cover the flanks and rear, and the opponents are not ordinary people and thugs.

Fortunately, the opponent did not have any weapons, and the lethality of Lin Daguan, who was equipped with an iron-knuckled tiger, was much greater than that of his bare hands.

Several of Han Wonguang's friends rushed up the steps, and they were all knocked down in front of them.

This is like stabbing a hornet's nest, after all, interpersonal relationships are one after another, and Han Wonguang's friends also have other friends.

I don't know who shouted, and seven or eight people rushed over unconvinced, and they must teach Lin Tailai, an outsider who broke in to grab food, to teach him a lesson!

Lin Daguan stubbornly defended the location, took a few punches desperately, and knocked down these seven or eight people in one go.

For a while, from the point to the bottom of the steps, there were twelve or thirteen scattered people, all of them with open skin and flesh, some of them were unconscious, some were covering their hands or rolling and wailing on their shoulder blades.

At this time, the remaining dozen or so children of military households are also unstable, and those who can come here are the strongest children of the younger generation of military households in Suzhou!

If you are beaten like this by one person, won't it become a laughing stock when it spreads!

So these dozen or so people who were originally watching from the wall also had to take action.

When Lin Tailai was guarding the entrance of the steps, several people quietly went around to the edge of the other side of the point, wanting to turn over and sneak attack.

But when Lin Tailai found out, he resolutely retreated from the entrance of the steps.

ran to the side of the person who tried to turn up, directly condescending, and kicked them all one by one, and then Lin Tailai also jumped down to make up the punch.

At this time, there are only about a dozen people in the military family who still have combat effectiveness.

Lin Tailai touched the inner armor of the cowhide, gritted his teeth and continued to do it.

Of course, it's not to rush up and be tough head-on, it's still to go around the point, move and dodge while looking for an opportunity to fight back, and take a few punches and kicks as long as it's not fatal.

But the consumption of the children of the other party's military households was faster than Lin Tailai's, and before he knew it, the combat strength of the dozen or so was reduced to five or six.

This immediately reversed the situation, and Lin Tai came to chase and fight the remaining military children.

After the Jiangnan Patrol handled the official duties of the morning, he rushed to the school field unhurriedly, preparing to start today's martial arts inspection.

But when he walked into the school grounds, he found that the candidates were all lying on and around the platform.

There is only an incomparably huge and majestic figure left, and he can still stand firmly in front of the point and accept the roll call.

"Lin Tailai! What a situation this is! Xing Xun shouted.

Lin Daguan truthfully reported: "For some reason, all the children of military families surrounded me together, and I was helpless and forced to fight back.

Twenty or thirty of them not only did not admit defeat, but also stubbornly resisted to the end, so it became like this.

All the officers and sergeants who are on duty here can testify for me!

And the green shirt on my body, all the stains are left by their fists and feet, and I have been severely beaten and miserable, please follow the master's decision! ”

After Xing Xunji looked around, he shook his head and said, "It seems that you are the only one who is qualified for this inspection!"

This official selected you as a martial artist in this section of Wu County, and you can prepare for the Wuju Township test in the second half of the year! ”

Lin Tailai: "."

Can the martial arts exam really be so willful?

For some reason, Lin Daguan feels that he likes martial arts more and more, what should I do?

Xing Xun looked at Lin Tailai, who was stunned, and asked, "What other questions do you have?" ”

Xing Xunji didn't want to waste time on boring martial arts affairs at all, he had a lot of official duties, so he should finish his work early and go back to deal with official business as soon as possible.

Lin Tailai said in a deep voice: "There is only one question now, how many martial artists will participate in the Nanzhili Township Trial?"

If there are too many people, I'm afraid that I can't move under the next, so is it a group fight? ”

Xing Xun pressed: "."

You don't think that the martial arts exam is really like in the script, a brawl in the school field, right?
