Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 1607 1609 [Tai Chi Sword]

  In addition to the uprising of Liu Liu and Liu Qi in Gyeonggi, in the fifth year of Zhengde, Anhua King Zhu Zhiyu rebelled and started an uprising in Qingyang, Ganzhou.

Because the imperial court mobilized soldiers from Shanxi and Shanxi to Heluo to fight the rebellion, resulting in the emptiness of Shanxi and Shanxi. Therefore, after the rebellion, King Anhua easily attacked the government, broke the county, expanded his strength, occupied Lingzhou in a few days, and quickly March to Chang'an.

   Guanzhong was shaken for a while, and the court could only continue to divide troops to counter the rebellion.

  In addition, in Ganzhou, Minzhou, Yuezhou and other places, because of the **** party's rampage and excessive collection, they also took turns to riot in the early years of Zhengde. The rebellion has always been suppressed, and the rebellion has been suppressed. If there is an incurable disease, the crime will be committed again and again, and the court will be forced to divide its troops.

  Especially after the chaos in the Heluo area, the imperial court dispatched troops to Heluo to quell the rebellion, leaving Ganzhou, Minzhou, Yuezhou and other places empty of defense, and the rebels had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

  So if there is a satellite map at this moment, you can see that at least half of the territory of the entire Ming Dynasty is at war. It is also fortunate that the Tatars in the north had no time to look south due to fighting for the throne and killing each other.

   Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

   It is also because of the peasant uprisings that have blossomed everywhere, so the rebels in the Heluo area do not know when they will be wiped out.

  …

  Xiang Nan doesn't care about these things, but just manages his own Luoyang City.

  In addition to resuming farming, work, and business, he also reopened schools to educate the people and promote talents. They even sent troops to wipe out bandits, recruit refugees, and open up trade routes.

  The major rebels are afraid of Xiang Nan, so they give him a three-pointer, and dare not send people to harass the trade route, so the trade route between Heluo is restored.

  Businessmen are all driven by profit. Grain prices in the Heluo area are extremely high, twice as high as in other places. With such a high profit, it is natural to come one after another.

  As a result, Luoyang City once again returned to its former bustle, attracting more and more people to come.

  Xiang Nan took the opportunity to collect taxes, which also allowed Luoyang's finances to gradually recover, and everything is developing in a good direction.

  …

   Besides taking care of the city, Xiang Nan did not forget to practice martial arts.

  In addition to continuing to study Tai Chi with Jun Bao, he also plans to develop Tai Chi Sword.

  Although Tai Chi is very powerful, facing opponents who are armed with weapons, you can use both hands to strike the sword. However, it is limited to competing with low-handed players.

  If there is not much difference in strength between the two sides, and one side is holding a weapon and the other is unarmed, then the side holding the weapon must have the upper hand. After all, an inch is long and an inch is strong.

  Tai Chi, to be honest, Xiang Nan and Jun Bao's deduction is almost the same, I dare not say it is perfect, at least it has already achieved great success.

  Unless there is a flash of inspiration and a sudden epiphany, otherwise, it will only take a long time to work hard. It is impossible to rapidly increase combat power in a short period of time.

  So Xiang Nan considered developing Tai Chi Sword. With the help of weapons in this way, martial arts can naturally be improved rapidly.

   It's just that Tai Chi Sword is not as easy to develop as Tai Chi.

  Because Xiang Nan and Jun Bao have insufficient foundation.

   To develop any thing, you must have its foundation. For example, the foundation of the atomic bomb is Einstein's mass-energy equation; the foundation of Bi Sheng's movable type printing is hundreds of years of woodblock printing...

  The reason why Xiang Nan and Jun Bao were able to develop Taijiquan is because they learned Shaolin Quan in Shaolin Temple. They first learned Luohan Quan, then Fuhu Quan, and then Wei Tuo Zhang...

  In addition, Xiang Nan also secretly learned Prajna Palm and has the foundation of Wing Chun. Therefore, in terms of boxing, they all have rich accumulation.

   But in terms of weapons, they learned less. Xiang Nanhui's only weapons are Liuhe Dao, Ba Zhan Dao, Baimei Stick Method, Six Half Stick Method, etc. None of them are sword skills.

   Therefore, it is naturally very difficult to create a sword technique, and the two of them can only practice by groping.

  As for why not learn from a teacher, or search for sword manuals everywhere, it is a bit whimsical.

  On the one hand, they are now a generation of masters, how can they learn from teachers again, and no one dares to accept them. In addition, people who practice martial arts mostly treasure themselves, and rarely pass on their martial arts to others.

  On the one hand, many martial arts pay attention to oral teaching, and do not publish written words to avoid leaking the martial arts of one's own school. Because of this, I couldn't find a sword manual if I wanted to.

   Moreover, to be honest, many people who practice martial arts are actually illiterate. Even if a martial arts secret book is in front of him, he may not recognize it, and naturally it is impossible to write his own martial arts book and pass it on to the world.

  …

   "If I knew this, I shouldn't have fallen out with the **** mole when I entered the Bodhidharma hall for the competition." Xiang Nan sighed, "If not, we would have learned the best martial arts."

  The martial arts they learned in Luohan Hall are just the surface of Shaolin martial arts. They haven't learned any really superior martial arts.

  Only Xiang Nan knew that after entering the Bodhidharma Hall, he could learn the Bodhidharma Sword, Fumo Fist, Vajra Palm, Crazy Wand and so on. If he had learned all those martial arts, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now.

   "Senior brother, life has limits, but knowledge has no limits. If you follow the limits, you will die." Seeing this, Jun Bao persuaded, "The world's martial arts can never be perfected, so why force it?"

  Xiang Nan smiled when he heard this.

   If there is only one life, he doesn't have to force it. With his current martial arts, it is enough. However, who made his life more than once.

  He came here with great difficulty, so naturally he needs to learn more martial arts. Otherwise, it would be a waste of a 【Memory Stone】. So Xiang Nan didn't give up, he was going to find an opportunity to go to Shaolin Temple to obtain superior martial arts.

  Under the siege of the army, it is expected that Shaolin Temple will have to bow its head in order to protect the thousand-year-old temple. However, now is not the best time.

On the one hand, Master Jue Yuan is probably still alive, and he doesn't want to embarrass Master; on the other hand, his influence and reputation are not big enough, so it's not very pleasant to rush up the mountain to forcefully ask for martial arts secret books and spread them around. .

   So he silently waited for this opportunity.

  …

  Time flies, time flies.

   Soon, the six years of Zhengde have passed.

  The uprising of Liu Liu and Liu Qi in Yanzhao has not subsided, but it is getting bigger and bigger. In the twelfth lunar month of the sixth year of Zhengde, the rebel army attacked Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yizhou and other places, blocked water transportation, and burned more than 1,000 grain ships.

  Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu rebelled in the Gansu-Shaanxi area. Although the leader has been captured, the remnants of the defeated generals are still raging in the Gansu-Shaanxi area. As for Jianghuai, Fujian and Guangdong, the voices of peasant uprisings are still getting louder and louder.

  In the Heluo area, the rebels are now learning from Xiang Nan, organizing farmers to return to farming, workers to return to work, and merchants to return to the market. Although there are still acts of excessive expropriation and extortion, the common people can finally take a breath and barely survive.

   Therefore, there is no sign of being wiped out at all.

  Seeing this, the imperial court can only increase the strategy of appeasement.

  Many rebels have been recruited by the imperial court. As long as they surrender, they will either be the commander in chief or the general, and the worst is the rank of fourth rank. As for Xiang Nan, it was even more extraordinary, and he was named "Fengtian Fuguo Loyal and True Man". The rank ratio is 2,500 stones, and the land is given 1,000 hectares. The treatment equivalent to that of a duke is not bad.

  However, although the remuneration is good, it’s just a talk so far, and I haven’t seen any benefits yet.
