Lord of the House

Lin Fu and Qin Chengzu left Baiyuan by car and returned to Jiyunju.

"Your slash is really not easy. The slashing with one slash is unusually fast. I don't think there are many people on Changshan Island who are sure to stop your slash." Qin Chengzu still recalled Lin Bie's splitting plum blossoms in Baiyuan. With Zhi's knife, he returned to Jiyunju and asked Lin Bie, "By the way, what kind of swordsmanship did you learn? The swordsmanship that directly slashes with a waist knife seems to be very rare."

"Mr. Qin is making a joke, where have I learned any swordsmanship?" Lin Fu said with a smile, he could only continue to lie about this matter to make it easier for others to accept, "I like to read some miscellaneous books and learn some things since I was a child. Miscellaneous arts, when I was a teenager, I got a miscellaneous book called "Chopping Practice Records". It briefly mentioned some methods of practicing chopping. I didn't take it seriously at the time. I didn't think there was anything, but it was only after experiencing many events on Changshan Island that I felt it had some practical use. After returning to Shiliang County, I wanted to find that book and study it, but I didn't know it was thrown there. This paragraph With the help of vague memory, I have sorted out some content, but there are still a lot of omissions, I was just about to mention it to Mr. Qin, let Mr. Qin help to see what is lacking..." She asked Liu Yue'er to enter the room and look at it. He took out the manuscript explaining the splitting technique that he had sorted out.

"You and Leopard are together all day. He is an expert with knives. What can I see?" Qin Chengzu laughed. He stood on the steps in front of the corridor and waited for Liu Yueer to transcribe Lin Fu's memory. He brought the "Chop Internship Record", and he was curious about what kind of strange book gave Lin Fu such a weak-looking scholar to make the knife so powerful.

The leopard Qin Chengzu was talking about was Zhou Pu, the leopard who was in the forest. No one in Qin Chengzu's gang of horses could beat Zhou Pu with a knife.

The manuscript is very thin, with only six or seven pages. It is completely different from the martial arts booklets that Qin Chengzu usually sees. Not to mention the chart of the moves, not even the tricks. It is better to call it a martial arts classic It is said to be a record of the key points of practicing the method of hacking.

Qin Chengzu flipped through the manuscript, pointed his finger on the words, and read softly: "If he hasn't cut hard, I must not shake my hands and move myself to be exploited by the enemy; I need to practice every day until the enemy's swords and spears match my body and then counterattack, so that the enemy can be caught off guard. Not in time for defense. Slashing must be done with force, and it needs to be heavy, otherwise it will be easy to be injured by the enemy. To strike a person, you need to strike the key point. A good striker must not only strike accurately, but also need to be powerful. To increase courage and experience, the changes of virtual and real are all experienced in real hacking. The more experience in real hacking, the more opportunities to take advantage of the situation. The basic method is to practice strength, virtual and real changes, non-real hacks cannot be subtle, tricks and routines are useless. It is necessary to adopt the combo method, strike the enemy without dodging, take advantage of the potential to strike in a combo, do not jump or jump, advance and retreat.

Qin Chengzu roughly finished the manuscript in his hand. There were only six pages of paper, full of teeny small letters. There were a total of forty or fifty articles, but three or four thousand words. They were not about martial arts in the ordinary sense at all, but about everyday life. The points of attention when practicing the technique of splitting, and even the tricks and routines of ordinary martial arts are useless.

If you change to another martial artist, you might have to argue with Lin Fu: what kind of **** swordsmanship is this! Qin Chengzu and the others joined the army in their early years and then became bandits, and their efforts have long since refined the useless tricks and routines they learned at first. Naturally, this "Chop Practice Record" directly points out the key points of the technique and teaches practice. method.

Qin Chengzu understood more deeply. He was born as a scholar. He abandoned Wen to join the army when he was 30 years old. Before joining the army, he could only say that he was physically strong. When he joined the army, he didn't use him to grab a knife and fight, but he practiced martial arts seriously after he was a pirate. According to the traditional martial artist, he did not practice the basic skills and muscles well when he was young, and he would definitely be a waste if he continued to practice hard until he was 30 years old, but Qin Chengzu led the crowd for ten years. In comparison, seven or eight ordinary strong men are not in his eyes, and they are not left behind when they fight with swords; thinking about it, they usually only practice those practical skills.

Qin Chengzu frowned, looked at Zhou Pu who was sitting on the porch under the eaves, and said, "This hacking technique is a sword technique, but it is a sharp sword technique specially used to kill people... The method of practice does not seem to be limited. With the waist knife, do you think it is possible to practice the Mo knife with this method?"

"This hacking technique must have been created by an expert in the military. With the exception of knives, it can also be used to guide spear training..." Zhou Pu said with certainty. Lin Fu wanted to integrate the chopping and stabbing techniques learned in later generations into the current swordsmanship, so he naturally had to ask Zhou Pu for advice in many aspects. Zhou Pu was already familiar with the thin six or seven-page manuscript of this chopping technique, and he also used chopping techniques. This book can be said to have been jointly formulated by Lin Fu and Zhou Pu, and it just gave Lin Fu the name of an unknown ancestor. How did he know that the prototype of splitting and stabbing was just created by later martial artists for the military by drawing on many combat techniques and martial arts?

Qin Chengzu read the manuscript again, and if he was puzzled, he asked Lin Fu and Zhou Pu, and also brought Wu Qi over to study the book "The Practice of Chopping and Strike" together under the eaves of the corridor in front of the main room. The more I thought about it, the more flavorful it became. Before I knew it, it was getting dark, so I picked up the lantern. Under the lamp, Zhou Pu and Wu Qi even took knives and practiced chopping in the snow. Liu Yueer came over twice to ask if they could open it. At dinner, none of them felt hungry.

"This chopping technique can be used to guide and train martial soldiers to get an elite piece..." Qin Chengzu judged and asked Lin Bie, "Can I transcribe a copy and bring it back to Changshan Island?"

"Of course, it took all this time to sort it out, not just for the convenience of practicing knives for myself." Lin Bie said with a smile. The hacking technique is still the most basic training method. Persistent practice is only to improve the soldier's personal combat ability. To really train ordinary soldiers into elite divisions, it is far from being explained in a thin six or seven-page manuscript. . Lin Fu has some experience in later generations, but different combat situations, training methods and tactics are very different. Many of the training methods and tactics he remembers in later generations need to be greatly adjusted and revised. On, Zhou Pu can provide Lin Fu with enough experience. Thinking of being able to officially serve as the prison officer of Jiangdao Prison after the Chinese New Year, Lin Fu was still looking forward to it. First of all, he could use the nearly 200 guards of Jiangdao Prison as a test field for his military training.

************************

Qin Chengzu didn't want to stay in Jiangning for the New Year's Day, but stayed for one more day. Here, Lin Jingzhong directly bought an old Wupeng brig with silver in the name of Jiyun Club, filled with rice noodles, cotton cloth and a small amount of tea to transport to Chongzhou. In the name of selling, they carried Qin Chengzu and others down the river.

The Wu Peng ship will go directly to sea, and the hired boatmen cannot be used. Wu Qi directly took two men, Qin Chengzu, and one person who escorted Qin Chengzu to Jiangning, and a total of five people left Jiangning in a boat.

It's hard to imagine how hard it would be for Wu Qi and the others to adapt to their boating career so quickly after they left the horses. Lin Fu counted the time, Qin Chengzu and the others were all going well, and they could also go to Changshan Island after the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, the sea is relatively calm in winter. Otherwise, the old two-masted Upeng cargo ship, which cannot be considered a big ship on the Yangtze River, faces the risk of capsizing. After all, Changshan Island is still a day and a night away from the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Although Qin Chengzu got a few more ships from Xinpu County, they were all inland ships that were not conducive to sea navigation, and there were even two mastless oars, which were towed together to Changshan Island. Navigating long distances in the vast sea, not using the wind, but paddling manually, it is possible for a boat of sailors to die in the sea. These river boats can only sail in the waters within ten kilometers of the island, and when the wind and waves are big, they must return to the island in time to avoid the wind; Changshan Island can still be used for long-distance navigation at sea. Masted pirate ship.

Although there are ready-made boats to buy in Jiangning, but considering the strong winds and waves in the offshore sea, especially in summer, and even considering the battle against other pirate ships at sea as a warship, Lin Fu asked Lin Jingzhong to lease a few old ships to transport goods first. , the new boats they buy must be strong enough to withstand the ravages of offshore winds and waves in summer, even at several times the price.

In the east of Moling Lake, on the bank of Longjiang Lake, which is connected with Moling Lake, there is the Longjiang Shipyard under the jurisdiction of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry. It was the largest official shipbuilding base in the Dayue Dynasty. large ships.

Longjiang Shipyard not only builds ships for the government, but also for private companies and private boats. When it was prosperous, Longjiang Shipyard claimed that the newly built boats could cover the entire Longjiang Lake with a radius of more than ten miles.

Since the Shejia Rebellion, the court must have no intention or ability to dispatch water camps and warships to harass the Shejia hinterland from the East China Sea. The shipbuilding funds allocated to the Longjiang Shipyard will naturally be directly cut off to the East Fujian Ping Rebels as army pay. In addition, over the past few years, the taxed grain in the southeast has been mainly used in the war in the southeast. The water transportation to Yanjing has been weak, from the peak of 8 million stone grains per year to less than one-third of the level. Jiangdong, Liangzhe and other counties have There is a lot of free shipping capacity, and Longjiang Shipyard has hardly received an order for a new ship in recent years. Not only the Longjiang Shipyard, the official and private shipyards in other parts of Jiangdong have been in a desperate situation over the years.

In these shipyards, several or even dozens of new ships that have been created or are about to be created are always smashed into their own hands because the seller has withdrawn the order or cannot pay the purchase price. In addition to choosing new ships for sailing by sea in the future, the other main thing is that these new ships will not be able to be released when they are smashed into the hands of various shipyards, and Lin Jingzhong also needs to Take the opportunity to lower the purchase price.

These days, the tea shop managed by Gu Tianqiao takes nearly 2,000 catties of old tea provided by the Gu family and Lin Mengde to sell them in Jiangning City. Zhang Yubo, who joined the army, took extra care, and the tea shop did not encounter any other major resistance. Even the regular money for the soldiers and horses patrolling the streets was half less than that of other shops, but these days, the daily profit was only two silver coins. Jiangning is already a well-run tea shop.

If the tea shop wants to make large-scale profits, it will have to wait for the launch of Gujia’s new tea next year, but even if the Gujia’s new tea is successfully underwritten in the coming year, the net profit of Jiyun Club a year will only be 2,000 taels of silver. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Even if Lin Jingzhong is now With nearly seven thousand taels of silver left to spend, how dare he spend it casually?

A few days after the New Year's Eve, the people in the streets and alleys of Jiangning City are preparing for the New Year's Eve. Lin Fu personally went to Zhao Shuhan's house to give the New Year's gift. Gu Wuchen was constrained by party disputes and refused to use Zhao Shuhan, which also made Lin Fu a little ashamed to see Zhao Shuhan. Zhao Shuhan suddenly let go, and knew that Lin Fie had done his best for him. Besides, he had seen through some things in recent years, but his mood was not affected. Before and after the New Year, he would either stay in the house to write books, or Just went to Jiyunju to find Lin Fu for a drink, and Jiangning Punishment Yamen rarely visited.

On New Year's Eve, Lin Mengde also came to invite Lin Fu to Dongyang Guild Hall to attend the party banquet of the township party left behind in Jiangning on New Year's Eve. Lin Fu first drank at Gu Wuchen's house, then went to Dongyang Guild Hall to drink, and returned to Jiyun drunk. It is already late at night and early in the morning, listening to the sound of gongs and drums and the cheers of the alleys, the new year and the 9th year of Chongguan have just arrived.

The New Year's Festival, also known as the Spring Festival in later generations, is the most important festival for the people of the world. There are several important festivals in the first few days of the first month. On the 15th Lantern Festival, until the Lantern Festival on the 18th day of the first lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year's festival is considered to be subdued. All the yamen in Jiangning city resumed their normal sitting. Those who should go out to work should go to work far away, and they would only go out to other towns when they were released by boat and car. It lasted for about 20 days, both for officials and people living in a safe and healthy life. It was the day when the one-month long vacation came to an end. It was also the 18th day of the first lunar month. The official letter to serve as the Jiangdong inspector, Sijiang Island Prisoner, was officially delivered to Lin Fu.
