Chapter 62 The General Trend of the Qing Kingdom
85_85018 Maybe it's because of the homesickness of the big boss, the interior and exterior decoration of this drunken fairy building is quite similar to Yangzhou Yipinju, and in the eyes of Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan, I can't help but feel more cordial.
As the largest restaurant in the entire Shengjing City, and by the Praetorian Guard, the real power of the commander invites guests, and the place of the banquet will naturally not be a place like the lobby, but in the flower hall on the top floor of the seventh floor.
The entire seventh floor, the huge space, there is only such a round table, except for a downward staircase behind the screen, there is no hiding place around, and when the dishes are served, even the little two who are waiting for him also leave quickly, which is the wonderful place suitable for the big people to feast and drink.
Seeing this formation, in addition to feeling Chu Zhaonan's sincerity and enthusiasm, Zhao Fan also understood that there must be some things to talk about at today's banquet.
Sure enough, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, when the three of them had eaten almost enough, Chu Zhaonan suddenly pressed the wine glass, retreated a few personal soldiers, and then turned to face the two and said:
"The two Taoist leaders, Chu and you hit it off at first sight, although they have only met for two days, they are like good friends who have been in contact for decades. ”
"Oh?"
Looking at Chu Zhaonan's sincere expression, Zhao Fan said in his heart that this guy's acting skills are not weak, and he knows that this must be the other party's desire to win him over.
Although Zhao Fan has no intention of having a deep friendship with him at all, there is no problem in acting on the spot at this moment. After turning around in his heart, Zhao Fan quickly switched to an expression of interest, leaned over slightly, and moved closer to Chu Zhaonan.
In this "inadvertent" action, a subtle sense of closeness was revealed, which made Chu Zhaonan's heart refreshed, and secretly said that the conversation between the previous banquets should have played a lot of roles, and he couldn't help but smile secretly.
"The two Taoist leaders, you are sincere to vote for the Qing Dynasty, and Chu deeply admires such a righteous act. It's just the two of you, what is the current situation of this Great Qing Kingdom?"
"Well...... Zhao Fan frowned, turned his head to look at Li Shengnan, seemed to think for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Chu Zhaonan again, nodded lightly and said, "Please also ask General Chu to make it clear." ”
This action was seen in Chu Zhaonan's eyes, and it naturally became that the "Ochre Shan Army" hesitated to be so secret, whether it should involve "Lian Emei", and only after thinking for a while did he agree. From this point of view, as the master of the view, the "Lian Emei" with high martial arts should indeed be just a vase, in contrast, the "Ochre Shan Army" that does not see the depth should be the actual decision-maker in the Songfeng View.
This inference has a lot of similarities with the table at yesterday's banquet, and the credibility should be very high, and it is worth reporting to the top.
As if he wrote down this in his heart, Chu Zhaonan's face was not moved at all, and he naturally said the words that had been prepared in his mouth.
"Don't hide it from the two of you, the current situation of the Great Qing Kingdom is actually very bad. Although it is much better than in previous years, it is not much better, and it is not much better than before the fall of Western Xia. ”
"Oh, how is this possible?" Zhao Fan frowned in surprise, "I think that this Great Qing Kingdom is also a big country in the world, how can it be in the mouth of Brother Chu, but it seems to be about to die?"
"That's true, and it's not like I'm boasting. Chu Zhaonan said in a deep voice, shaking his head with a wry smile, "Daoist Axe, you also participated in the banquet of the Ximen Alliance Lord yesterday, in your opinion, don't you think that the martial arts figures of my Great Qing Kingdom are a little too weak?"
"Hmm...... That's true. Zhao Fan nodded, affirming Chu Zhaonan's words.
Generally speaking, in any country, the strength of people in the martial arts is to form a pyramid structure, and the higher they go, the rarer the number is, but no matter how rare it is, as long as they can afford to hold a "martial arts conference", at least the grandmaster and the first-class master will never be so rare that they can be counted out by ten hands.
Although Ximen Muye himself, as the leader of the Kanto Martial Arts Alliance, does have superb combat power that matches his identity, his subordinates are completely unable to pull the stage. Hong Antong, Ma Kongqun, and the Sun family of the Sharpshooter Society, who can be called masters, are at most nominally subservient, and they are not all the way to Ximen Muye.
And if it only counts the strength of the land returning to the peasants, the Fan gang leader, and other weaker people...... Zhao Fan can almost say unceremoniously that these guys are not even as good as the big gangs in the hinterland of the Central Plains, not to mention anything else, as long as the Golden Wind Drizzle Building takes out fifty percent of its combat power, and there is no need for Su Mengzhen himself to take action, just by dispatching to the level of the Five Directions Divine Evil, it is enough to sweep the entire Kanto Martial Arts that Zhao Fan has seen!
And the Golden Wind Drizzle Building, which has such combat power, is not even the first big gang in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Just in its old nest Lin'an City, there are six and a half halls to fight against them, as for the Lost Heaven Alliance, the Power Gang, and even the Money Gang, Tsing Yi Lou and other powerful gangs, they each have their own reserved territory, and the strength is strong enough to oppress the forces of Fengyulou to not be able to step out of the two Zhejiang.
Of course, the number of masters is related to the inheritance of martial arts and the total population, so in the three major kingdoms of Zhou, Song, and Ming, the number of martial arts masters is obviously more. But even if the influence of this factor is excluded, the number of masters in the Kanto martial arts is too small, and it has almost reached the point of being green and yellow. Even with the strength of the Qingcheng faction at the moment, in this Kanto martial arts, it seems that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king!
"It's all because of the legacy of that upheaval six years ago. Chu Zhaonan explained.
"Daoist Archre should know that my Great Qing Kingdom is the imperial ruler of the inherited Jurchen Kingdom. Aixin Jueluo royal royal order from heaven, heaven granted imperial power, but at that time, the Wanyan clan who called the emperor was stubbornly resistant, so the entire country, martial arts fighting and killing, except for those little-known small sects, most of the martial arts sects have disappeared in two or three years, so the national strength is empty, has been coveted. ”
"Hmm......"
Zhao Fan nodded heavily.
Although Chu Zhaonan seemed to be very light when he said it, he was able to make the big factions and masters in the country suffer heavy casualties to such an extent, and the fierceness of the battle at that time can already be imagined. But......
"If it is true that as General Chu said, there is no one available in the Great Qing Kingdom at this moment, why did the neighboring powers not take advantage of this time to attack them?"
"Of course, this is because, there are still strong enough masters in the Qing Dynasty to be able to control the field. ”
Chu Zhaonan smiled bitterly.
"At the time of the change of the throne, although the first emperor was able to use thunderous means to purge the entire Wanyan clan on a large scale, as well as the martial arts forces that surrendered to the Wanyan clan, there was still no way for those super masters who cultivated to the sky. ”
"After all, the Aixin Jueluo family is not right, and most of these masters do not want to be used by the imperial court, and they have taken refuge in the mountains. In fact, it is these masters who are the real problems faced by the Qing Dynasty. ”
Chu Zhaonan said, then lowered his voice and began to slowly introduce the real Qing Kingdom martial arts to Zhao Fan
