Daoist Baihe was flipping through the "Taishang Induction Chapter", and when he saw Chen Ji coming in, he asked lightly: "Are you back?"
Chen Ji nodded and said, "Yes." It's done. This time, I met the Yuan Chu Dao Master of the Quanzhen Sect, and his skills were really unfathomable. ā
Daoist Baihe put down the book in his hand and said: "Yuan Chu is very low-key, he is the head of the Quanzhen Sect, many people in the martial arts world don't know about his existence, but his skills are not under the teacher. If you can escape from his men, you are in luck. Of course, Yuan Chu may not have the intention of killing you, otherwise, the consequences are really difficult to say. ā
Chen Ji nodded, and fought with Yuan Chu, but he really didn't feel a strong murderous aura.
"Li Zicheng began to attack the capital, and with the protective power of the capital, he was not Li Zicheng's opponent at all. Those ministers and ministers will even secretly take refuge in Li Zicheng and come together from inside and outside. The capital can't be defended. Chen Ji said, "Without an emperor in the Ming Dynasty, the whole world will fall into great chaos, and the Manchu iron cavalry is afraid that it will enter the customs." Master, when the time comes, where should the White Lotus Sect go?"
Li Zicheng broke through the capital and forced Chongzhen to death, and all the forces in the world will be no constraint, and countless careerists will emerge to claim the king and hegemony, forming a situation of warlord separation. When the time comes, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will enter the customs, and each will be broken, and the Manchu Iron Cavalry will soon sweep the north and south of the river.
After several years of development, although the White Lotus Sect has achieved good results and the people under its command are living a prosperous life, they are still too weak compared to the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The White Lotus Sect has a deep background in martial arts, but in the end, it is just an organization similar to a gang. Although the Manchu Qing was barbaric and even a semi-feudal and semi-slave society, it was a huge political group after all.
Compared with the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the power of the White Lotus Sect is simply the difference between ants and elephants.
What's more, the White Lotus Sect does not have an elite army. The Manchu army crushed over, and the White Lotus Sect did not have the slightest ability to resist.
Chen Ji is strong in martial arts and has mastery in swordsmanship, but if he wants to rely on his personal martial arts to block the Manchu Qing Dynasty from entering the Central Plains, it is simply a fool's dream.
Daoist Baihe glanced at Chen Ji and asked, "Chen Ji, you tell the teacher, do you plan to dominate the world?"
Chen Ji shook his head and said, "Master, the disciple doesn't have the idea of dominating the world. For us martial arts masters, fame and fortune are just a passing moment, and the greatest wish of a disciple in this life is to become an innate great master. If you have the opportunity, you may explore what realm there is above the innate nature. It's just that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the people of our Han family will be slaughtered, and I want to preserve the vitality of our Han people to the greatest extent. ā
Hakutsuru sighed, he didn't expect the ambition of the results to be so big. Daoist Baihe felt that in his life, he was already very satisfied to be able to enter the innate realm, but Chen Ji was thinking about the realm above the innate level.
The practice of martial arts is never-ending.
Daoist Baihe guessed that there must be a higher realm above the innate level, but Wang Chongyang and Zhang Sanfeng, the great masters of these great masters, had never stepped into that level, and the others dared not think about it.
"Chen Ji, it's good that you have this ambition. But don't be too ambitious, if you want to step into the level above the innate level, you must first become a great grandmaster. The White Crane Daoist said to Chen Ji.
Daoist Baihe thought for a while, and then said: "If you want the people not to be slaughtered by the Manchus, in addition to fighting for hegemony and resisting the Manchus, the only way is to move the people out." As for where to move, it's up to you, the sect leader, to make up your mind. ā
The "base area" that Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue created is indeed very exquisite, but there is a shortcoming, that is, they are afraid of encirclement, suppression, and blockade. Once the Manchus entered the Central Plains and gained a large number of people and resources, their power would expand dramatically. At that time, the base area of the White Lotus Sect will lose the soil for survival.
"Treasure Island Taiwan. ā
Chen Ji's eyes lit up and he thought of Treasure Island.
The area of the treasure island is not small, and it is a natural base, which is very suitable for the White Lotus Sect to settle the people. With the bearing capacity of the treasure island, it is not a problem to resettle tens of millions of people.
In addition, Southeast Asia can also place a large number of people.
The relocation of the people could not only prevent the slaughter of the children of the Han family, but also weaken the power of the Manchus, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
It's just that he chose to back down, and Chen Ji felt a little aggrieved in his heart.
"People are the most important thing. Chen Ji secretly said in his heart, "The White Lotus Sect has gained a firm foothold overseas, and it may not have the opportunity to return to the Central Plains in the future." ā
"Master, I know what to do. Chen Ji said.
Relocating the people to the treasure island and Southeast Asia is not a complete abandonment of the base of the land of China. It's just that the White Lotus Sect will be more careful and secretive in its actions in the land of Shenzhou in the future.
To develop under the noses of the Manchus, to be low-key and lurking, is a must.
The end of the Ming Dynasty was an era of colonization and pioneering. Relocating the people under the command of the White Lotus Sect is regarded as decolonization and reclamation, and expanding the living space for future generations.
With so many islands and territories in Southeast Asia, it is better for Chen Ji to occupy them by himself than those colonists in the West.
..................
After leaving the Taoist temple, before he arrived at the door, Chen Ji asked about the fragrance of stir-fried vegetables.
Zhang Mingyue is a saintess of the White Lotus Sect, and she didn't know how to cook, but after marrying Chen Ji, she began to learn to do housework.
Confucian psychology emphasizes the unity of knowledge and action. Do-it-yourself and have enough food and clothing is actually a kind of practice.
After three years of training, Zhang Mingyue's cooking skills are no less than those imperial chefs. Her knife skills are even more powerful than those of the imperial kitchen.
"Stir-fried chicken with shiitake mushrooms, it's so fragrant. Chen Ji entered the kitchen and said with a smile, "Mingyue, do you want to help?"
The kitchen knife in Zhang Mingyue's hand turned into a few knife lights, cut the remaining half of the chicken into the pot, shook his head and said, "No." Meals were ready right away. When the chicken is cooked, bring a bowl to the master. ā
Chen Ji nodded and said, "Okay." Master, his old man likes to eat your dishes now. ā
It is filial piety to serve the dishes to the white crane road. As for the senior brother Wang Jiang and Zuo Li, Chen Ji doesn't care, if there is something delicious, he won't send it to them. Unless it's a New Year's holiday, give some gifts.
"By the way, Xianggong, my sister is practicing in the backyard, you go and take a look, I hope this girl is not lazy. Zhang Mingyue said suddenly.
Chen Ji nodded and said, "I'll go now." ā
Her younger sister Chen Xin is already twelve years old, and she not only follows Zhang Mingyue to study and study, but Chen Ji is also guiding her to practice martial arts and swordsmanship. Born in troubled times, just studying, without some martial arts to defend yourself.
Chen Xin has been practicing the Five Fowl Opera for more than two years, and he is already very proficient, but he has not reached the level of having both god and form.
Chen Xin has made such progress, and Chen Ji is very satisfied. Back then, Chen Ji quickly cultivated the crane form to both god form, and that was because he wanted to cure the disease and survive, so he had to fight.
Chen Xin's current situation naturally cannot be compared with Chen Ji's time.
After practicing the Five Fowl Opera, Chen Xin had a lot of sweat on his forehead, and his face was red.
"Brother, how am I practicing?" Chen Xin took Chen Ji's hand and said happily.
"So-so. Chen Ji said lightly, "It seems that during this time, you have not been lazy. Your sister-in-law has finished the meal, and your father and mother are still busy in the vegetable field, so go and ask your father and mother to come back for dinner. ā
"I'll go. Chen Xin ran outside the house.
Chen Ji looked at his sister's cheerful back, and said secretly in his heart: "Time flies so fast, the little girl back then is about to become a big girl." ā

"Xianggong, Zheng Zhilong's handwritten letter, he promised to give up 20% of the trade interests, I hope you will make a move as soon as possible. The Dutch devil made Jackson Orton shoot three times in a row, and the Zheng family suffered heavy losses. Also, the Dutch began to garrison troops in Taiwan, and the East India Company's naval blockade of the Zheng family became even more serious. ā
In the afternoon, Zhang Mingyue received a letter from the Zheng family and reported the situation to Chen Ji in detail.
"Are the Dutch already stationed troops in Taiwan?"
The cold light in Chen Ji's eyes flashed, and he was moved to kill in his heart.
Treasure Island is regarded by Chen Ji as his own territory, and others are not allowed to get involved, and the Netherlands dares to garrison troops in Dayuan, which is really looking for death!
"Feige sent a message to the Zheng family and told Zheng Zhilong that in ten days, this seat would rush to Fujian. Chen Ji said to Zhang Mingyue with a serious face.
Chen Ji gave the order in an extremely formal and serious tone, and Zhang Mingyue knew that his father-in-law was really angry. She nodded and said, "I'll go and reply to the Zheng family immediately." ā
