Chapter 117, Preparation
After Gu Fan's training, Wang Chongyang already knew the way after the innate birth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, I just know that as long as the laws of this universe do not change one day, it will be difficult for them to continue to move forward, unless someone has been created by heaven and earth, like Gu Fan, and comes up with an evolutionary law.
However, the Quanzhen Sect has still changed a lot, and under Gu Fan's guidance, it is not like in the original history, there are only three or two big cats and kittens, such as the seven sons of Quanzhen, who are pure and scattered, and Sun Fuji is the same, and his subordinates have accepted a lot of female disciples, and there are many people from wealthy families. These women practiced art in the mountains for three or two years, and then remarried, which invisibly expanded the strength of the Quanzhen Sect.
The Quanzhen Sect is a Taoist sect, and the female disciples are independent, which is very valued by those wealthy businessmen and giants with strict family style, and there are many martial arts families in order to get in touch with the Quanzhen Sect, or take a fancy to the Quanzhen Sect to inherit martial arts, and they are also actively sending school-age girls to the Quanzhen Sect.
It was a time of frequent wars. From the very beginning of the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty, it faced the threat of strong neighbors in the north, first the Jin State and then the stronger Mongolia, and the war never stopped.
Whether it is a wealthy family in the north or a family in the south. Most of them have a kind of precarious worry, for fear that one day they will offend those in power and ruin their families.
Therefore, in this era, although the theory of science has been thoroughly perfected. But there is no soil and foundation for large-scale expansion.
And in order to continue the family bloodline, the major wealthy families are not opposed to the children of the clan learning martial arts. Sometimes the family can even pay a certain price and resources to help the outstanding disciples of the clan join the great forces of the rivers and lakes.
After all, Gu Fan's battle with the Jin cavalry has long been known to the world by the Zhao and Song official families.
Ten years of propaganda, even if it is fake, is enough for countless people to brainwash, not to mention that it is still true.
With the power and strength of the merchants of this era, it is easy to inquire whether a battle is true or false.
It is also for this reason that Sun Buer's selection of disciples is really one in ten thousand, which is stricter than the selection of flight attendants in later generations, and appearance, temperament, and talent are all indispensable. But ten years have passed, and the number of disciples has successfully exceeded 50.
Fifty people is really not much, but don't forget that Sun Buji is just one person. It is quite a lot for one person to teach fifty disciples. She still has to cultivate herself.
There are no well-known women's sects on the rivers and lakes, so there are still a lot of girls who want to worship the Quanzhen faction, and there are still a lot of people who choose the best from Master Lin.
Of course, in order to ensure that the Quanzhen inheritance does not have the risk of being stolen, Sun Buer did not accept closed disciples. Sun Buer didn't accept it, and neither did the other six sons, and Gu Fan, who was harmed, has not seen the legendary dragon knight so far.
However, the closed disciple itself is a symbol of inheritance, and it is right to be cautious.
Moreover, it is not a blessing for Sai Weng to lose his horse, precisely because Sun Buji did not accept closed disciples, but became more popular.
This is the Song Dynasty, and the age of marriage for women is very young, that is, women in the rivers and lakes basically have to marry at the age of about eighteen, and those women from wealthy families will only marry at a younger age.
In this way, not to mention the inheritance, it is the disciples who have impure minds, and they have the support of the family behind them to marry early at the same age.
In this way, it is difficult to learn the basics, let alone pass them on. The subordinate of Sun Buer is very much like the Shaolin Martial Arts School in later generations.
Moreover, in ancient times, under the division of the Emperor of Heaven and Earth, many wealthy families who knew that the Jin people wanted to attack Nanshan not only ventilated the news, informed the Jin people's marching route and the number of troops, but also personally led people up the mountain to protect the mountain together. Even if it was far away, the wealthy clans in the Southern Song Dynasty also sent their men to transport grain and materials to the mountains.
There was one with a strong relationship, and even two artillery pieces were transported.
Originally, because of Yue Fei's death, the people who were disheartened were obviously reunited due to Gu Fan's chaos.
Especially those maritime merchants, they are really not afraid of the Jin people.
In this era, the Arabs have already opened the Age of Discovery, and the maritime merchants are definitely a gang of thieves when they go out, and they are merchants when they enter.
What the Chinese should look like, Gu Fan does not know. However, over the years, in addition to instructing them on geographical knowledge, Gu Fan's bodyguards on the ship, the official's "Heavenly Creations", and artillery and rocket technology have not been passed on to the outside world.
On land, at the junction of the Jin and Song dynasties, although the relationship between the two countries has eased a lot after a long period of military withdrawal, and the commercial economy of the two places can also circulate normally, the accumulated ties for many years are not so easy to dissolve.
Although the Jin people were seriously sinicized, they still maintained the barbaric ferocity of the grassland people, and saw the prosperity of the Southern Dynasties from time to time to send troops to loot on a small scale, maintaining the custom of fighting grass valleys in the Great Liao.
The Southern Song Dynasty border army is not comparable to the strength of the Northern Song Dynasty border army, and the local government does not pay much attention to this matter, the market allows a small group of gold soldiers to wander and loot in the territory, making the people of Huainan unhappy and bandits.
Some of the more well-behaved strongmen are just fine, only collecting tolls and doing nothing evil about the rest. It's just that there are not many such principled and bottom-line heroes in the green forest after all, but there are many guys who are dazzled by interests, and their evil deeds are worse than the gold soldiers in transit!
There is really no psychological burden to clean up such a guy, the maritime merchant is already bold, and the maritime merchant who has taken refuge in Gu Fan is even bolder.
Ten years of sea conquest and opening up trade routes, even the regular army of the Song Dynasty did not dare to say that they had fought many battles and they were brave.
This is because naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, and if the land battle is defeated, you can escape. Once the naval battle is lost, there is nowhere to escape, there is boundless sea water everywhere, you can escape one and I will see?
Instead of dying of thirst and starvation on the sea, I can't help but fight with each other, at least there is a cushion.
Therefore, the real seafarers are the best and most fearless soldiers in this era.
If the people of the wealthy family only have the level of caretaking, when these maritime merchants arrive, they can be compared to the regular army.
As soon as they came, Gu Fan would also come out of the ancient tomb and see them.
"How did you get here?"
Gu Fan was not too happy about their arrival.
To be honest, although Gu Fan looked down on the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers who jumped into the sea together, he was still very moved.
Just like Emperor Zhenzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although he did not lead the empire to be strong, he kept the backbone of a country and a race.
Compared with them, I Dajin in later generations, "The Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible", it is really a joke.
For such a person, Gu Fan definitely doesn't mind making a contribution, even if he leaves this world, even if fate still makes Zhao Song die in the end, he at least leaves the fleet. When they jumped into the sea, there was also someone who saved them.
