Chapter IV. Revisit Zhongxin Town.

After a night of silence, Han Yong's biological clock at this time also began to appear, Han Yong got up from the firewood room at six o'clock in the morning, washed his face and teeth with water, got dressed, and began to run along the village.

Mornings in the mountain village are beautiful! It was the first time Han Yong had seen such a beautiful morning. The mountains and ditches are all green, like a freshly painted green house, and when you touch it, you will rub your hands full of green paint. The wildflowers on both sides of the road, of different colors, are blooming with dewdrops, small birds are passing through, and large grasshoppers are jumping.

The fiery sun finally broke free from the entanglement of the white clouds, revealing a half-smiling face. A few small white clouds in the sky, like jasmine flowers with gold edges, rushed out of the cracks in the clouds. Gradually, the morning veil shattered, swirling, circling and curling like wisps of light smoke, and the golden sunlight shone on the hillside and on the smiling faces of the industrious. The sky was always foggy, and everywhere there was white smoke, like steam. The sun slowly rises from the ridge and spreads the white mist into the sky. Winter colors. The light changed from a dull gray to a fish white, a pink, and then a golden yellow, and the brilliance of the rising sun was also ever-changing and colorful. Shining on the fog, layers of color appear. The brightest golden color closest to the morning sun is darker the farther west it goes, and finally it becomes a fog.

Han Yong sighed that this is our beautiful motherland, this is our country's countryside. Han Yong thought as he ran, there is. "Lingering in the depths of the transverse waves, a song of green condensation. The bright moon is not dispersed, and the three paths are Tianhe"

Han Yong was thinking about his life experience, feeling that his own culture was still okay, and he could also compose poems, Han Yong thought while running, Han Yong felt that he had run nearly ten kilometers, and he played a set of gossip palms beside the village chief.

"Bagua" was first seen in "Zhou Yi": "Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip". Bagua originally referred to the eight directions, namely north, south, east, west, northwest, southwest, northeast, and southeast. Baguazhang is mainly based on palm method, and its basic content is eight palms, which are combined with the number of eight trigrams; When walking boxing, it is required to walk in a circle with a buckle step, and all eight directions are walked, unlike ordinary boxing, or a line to go or four corners, so it is called "Baguazhang". In fact, Baguazhang has no intrinsic connection with Bagua.

Baguazhang is a kind of boxing technique that focuses on palm changes and walking and turning. It integrates martial arts and guidance into one, and cultivates both inside and outside. It not only has the function of strengthening the body, but also can exercise the skills of offensive and defensive fighting.

Baguazhang is a kind of boxing technique based on palm changes and walking and walking (walking in circles). That is, draw a circle with the radius of one of your arm's lengths, and walk in a circle along that circle. It integrates martial arts and guidance into one, and cultivates both inside and outside. It can strengthen the body, and it can exercise offensive and defensive fighting skills. There is one exception, there is a set of 64 palms that punch in a straight line.

Baguazhang is a very popular traditional boxing technique in China, one of the three famous boxing of internal boxing, and also a manifestation of Taoist health, fitness, and self-defense. It is based on the eight pile method for the palm work, and the set of eight circle hands in one, with one to eight steps of the pendulum, buckle, and the footwork method as the basis, with the circle as the basic movement route, with the palm method as the core, the whole body in the walk to the to, the step is like the flow of clouds and water, the body requirements: twisting, spinning and turning coordination and completeness, walking like a dragon, flipping like an eagle. The main techniques are: piercing, inserting, splitting, teasing, horizontal, colliding, buckle, turning, supporting, etc. Baguazhang is a fusion of health and technical skills in a furnace, moral boxing, is Dong Haichuan master martial arts and internal strength into one, absorbing the strengths of others, plus their own rich experience, the original palm-based technical means.

Baguazhang is different from other boxing techniques in the form of walking along the circle and "walking mud steps, cutting legs, and being stable like sitting in a sedan chair", buckle and break and convert, and avoiding the right and hitting the oblique. And it has obvious effects in curing diseases, internal strength, technical attacks and cultivating morality. Especially in terms of internal strength and moral cultivation, the performance is more prominent. know

Baguazhang, also known as the old eight palms, that is, single palm, double palm, homeopathic palm, back palm, turn over palm, grinding palm, three wear palms and back palms, the content of the circulation is not exactly the same, there are lions, deer, snakes, harriers, dragons, bears, phoenixes, monkeys eight forms of representatives, there are also double collision palms, shaking palms, wearing palms, picking palms, etc. as the basic content of eight palms. Each of these palms can derive a lot of palm techniques, known as one palm gives birth to eight palms, eight eight sixty-four palms.

Baguazhang comes in the form of solo practice, sparring and sanda. According to the records of the old boxing spectrum, the Bagua palm boxing system still has eight trips to the Arhat hand, seventy-two dark feet, seventy-two truncated legs, but rarely handed down, all the instruments of the Bagua system, there are knives, guns, swords, halberds, etc., the practice method still reflects the characteristics of changing with the go, walking with the machine, changing with the body, and connecting the momentum, in addition, there are short double instruments such as mandarin duck Yue, chicken claw sharp, Hot Wheels, judge pen, etc., which are relatively rare in other boxing. Baguazhang is conducive to training people's flexibility, speed, and endurance, and the cultivation of lower limb strength is particularly prominent.

After playing Baguazhang, he began to trot for a while, and when he returned home at this time, he had already seen Grandpa start to make breakfast, Han Yong took out a piece of bacon, found a piece of ginger, cut the bacon and chopped ginger together and put it in the porridge, and said to Grandpa, "Grandpa, give my younger brothers and sisters a few days to make up for their bodies, and in a few days I will teach them to practice boxing, at least let them outrun the bandits when they face the bandits, so as to save their lives." ”

Grandpa said, "You can do it yourself, I don't have the ability, and you will be in charge of the family in the future." ”

Soon Zhu Nan and Zhu Qiang got up, that is, Xiao Zhu Bing asked Han Yong to help her get dressed, and began to cry with Zhu Qiang early in the morning, shouting for her brother, Han Yong had no choice, so he had to go into the room and start helping Xiao Zhu Bing get dressed, then help her wash her face, wash her teeth with water, and after doing all this, she helped him comb his hair, and tied two small pigtails, and then called Zhu Nan to come over and help her comb her hair and tie a thick braid, and coaxed her to say, "This is the eldest sister who has big braids, and the little sister has two small braids." ”

Everyone began to eat breakfast together, Grandpa happily watched everyone eat so happily, and he also felt very young, in fact, Grandpa was not yet forty years old, just because he had suffered too much, and he looked like he was in his fifties.

In the rural areas of the Republic of China, the peasants worked very hard, because there were a lot of taxes, such as the warlords in Sichuan, who began to collect taxes after 30 years. Warlords of the Republic of China. During the Republic of China, the whole country presented a situation in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and many "princes" - warlords led by many "princes" emerged. At that time, if you have a few guns in your hand, a few people underneath, and a few towns, you can be considered a warlord. However, no matter whether the big warlords or the small warlords, they all need to have an army town, and these armies need to be spent, so the warlords must have money in their hands, otherwise if the military budget cannot be paid, there will be accidents. Generally speaking, the small warlord does not need much expenditure, so the military expenditure will be correspondingly less, while the big warlord has a few thousand or tens of thousands of subordinates, and these people need to be supported by him. Therefore, behind the big warlords, there will generally be the support of the great powers.

Warlords usually turn to the great powers for help when they need help, and foreign powers will help them through the difficult times, and even help them update their weapons and equipment. At the beginning, Zhang Zuolin entered Beiping with the help of the Japanese, but Zhang Zuolin did not give the Japanese what they wanted, so Zhang Zuolin died tragically at the hands of the Japanese. The big warlords have a large territory and can also collect funds through taxation and other means, but the small warlords do not have such an advantage. Generally speaking, the foreign powers do not look down on the petty warlords, there is no interest between the two, and the petty warlords have relatively small territories, and those few taxes will not solve any problems.

However, these are not difficult for them, they will be like the corrupt officials in ancient times, wantonly exploiting and oppressing the common people, and the people who renovated their surnames shared their pressure. However, they also know that it is enough to stop, and they can't be too presumptuous, after all, they must also be allowed to rebel, and the source of troops still depends on those people. Therefore, in addition to oppressing the common people, what they also have to do is to find other ways to alleviate the problem of money. In general, warlords do the business of smuggling tobacco and soil.

In addition to smuggling, there is another path to take, but this road is a bit fanciful, even a little funny. Some warlords actually rely on gambling to maintain military expenses. It is said that there was a warlord who was particularly good at gambling, and whenever the military budget was insufficient, he would go to the casino to get a few handfuls, and every time he came out, he had tens of thousands of dollars on his body. This kind of ability makes people have to be convinced.

Because of a series of unequal treaties of the Qing government, the life of the Beiyang government can be said to be in response to Li Yunlong's sentence "The poor are about to be pants." At that time, in order to alleviate the financial crisis, the Republic of China once issued 100 million treasury bonds to the whole country, but in the end it only recruited less than 7 million. Later, Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, and the financial crisis became even more prominent. We must know that all the army is a money-burning thing, not to mention that the Republic of China was so poor at that time. So where does their military spending come from?

In fact, behind the warlords are the great powers, and as we have already said, they are both exchanges of interests, each taking what he needs. In addition to this, they also exploited and oppressed the common people to the maximum extent to slightly replenish the military spending. There is also something that is not authentic, that is, arrears of military salaries. Finally, there is the sale of tobacco and smuggling, which is the most profitable, so many warlords will do this business. During the Republican period, how did the warlords get their military spending? I don't know if I don't know, but I'm really shocked when I say it.

Now China seems to be unified, but in fact, the central government still has no actual unification, and all provinces are autonomous.

There is a lot of gossip, or go back to the small mountain village, Han Yong finished eating, or Zhu Nan and Zhu Qiang washed the dishes, Grandpa took the farm tools and walked to the field, now in addition to weeding and fertilizing, there is nothing else to do, Xiao Zhu Bing went to play in the mud, and Han Yong was preparing for the second trip to Zhongxin Town. This time I went to Zhongxin Town much better than yesterday, at least I was not hungry, and I had to carry a person on my back at that time, Xuanran didn't weigh much, but Lu Yuan was the most terrible. Han Yong's light travel this time is very different.

When leaving, Xiao Zhu Bing and Zhu Nan were coquettish together, and Han Yong had trouble for a while, Han Yong was kind words and persuasion, and it was a promise and a guarantee, so he started his trip to Zhongxin Town.

Fifty miles of road is not long, but it is not very simple, Han Yong also took nearly three hours to arrive at the gate of the town, the same soldiers guarding the gate still did not change, the same is either beating or kicking, as if in this way those soldiers will feel that they exist, Han Yong does not want to make trouble, or take the road from yesterday into the town, this time it is so colorful, two soldiers, Han Yong a sneak attack, both soldiers are dizzy, Han Yong still buried the gun outside the city wall, and touched the two soldiers again.

Han Yong was very dissatisfied and scolded, "Poor ghost, the two of you are in the ocean. Han Yong slowly walked into the town. I found a teahouse and made it on the side. The shopkeeper came over to refill Han Yong's tea, and Han Yong called for five steamed buns and a plate of dim sum.

"You don't know, I arrested two more Red Communists yesterday, and I heard that he is still an official, and he has arrested several of them in the past few days."

"I heard that the red party in the town hall is almost closed. In fact, the Red Party is still good, at least the villages run by people do not pay taxes, and those Red Parties never rob things from the people's homes, no matter how good, the government can't tolerate them. Huh. ”

"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs. Now the government's Blue Coat Society is very powerful, and it is necessary to arrest the Red Party everywhere, if they hear it, they will not lose their skin, but they will also break their money, there is no need. Haha"

Han Yong was listening carefully to the small talk of those tea guests, this is the biggest source of intelligence, you can know anything you want here. Han Yong doesn't know how he is so smart, it seems that he is a figure in the Red Party. Haha don't want to.

Han Yong dropped a few copper coins, and the shopkeeper said, "It's more, it's more." ”

Han Yong didn't say anything, so he walked out of the teahouse and entered a clothing store. When he came out, he was already dressed in a robe, wearing cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, and a top hat, and at first glance he was a person with status. Those who serve in the army also watch people unload goods. If you can't afford it, try not to mess with it.

Han Yong found a snack bar on the surface of the town office, went in and asked for a bowl of hugs, and slowly ate it, watching everything in the town office. Han Yong decided to save these comrades at night, since he had made up his mind, Han Yong had to make preparations, sneak attack, retreat, route, these are the same, at least three or more plans must be prepared, and there is also a good scapegoat. Haha over the mountain, good, bandits.

One morning, Han Yong was at the town office, the city wall, looking for ladders, preparing food and retreat routes. Han Yong is like a robot, preparing for it. Han Yong is not tall, about 1.72 meters. In this era, such a tall person is already okay, but in the future life, it will be difficult for such a person to find a wife, haha.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
