In the next few days, Li Zhen, Zuo Zongtang, Liu Jintang, Rong Hong, Chen Yucheng and others humbly consulted the professors at West Point Military Academy and quickly learned everything about the military academy.
In this way, Zuo Zongtang had a better understanding of the military academy.
In the early morning, the students of the military academy began their morning exercises. Similarly, the three hundred soldiers of the Jian Dao Battalion also conducted morning exercises. The soldiers of the Jian Dao Battalion were all bare-headed, which was like a beautiful scenery in the training ground. They trained not only running and other subjects, but also You must also practice the boxing techniques taught by Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan. This is a must-have training every day.
In the training ground, the Jian Dao Camp is divided into two teams, one is practicing Tai Chi and the other is practicing Bagua Quan.
The two sides competed with each other and became fierce and powerful.
At this time, the cadets of the military academy had finished their morning exercises and all stopped to rest. They stood around the soldiers of the Jiandao Battalion and stared at the soldiers of the Jiandao Battalion who were making slow gestures without blinking. The students saw the soldiers of the Jiandao Battalion every day. They practice Tai Chi and Bagua Quan, but they don’t see any skills because they feel that the two techniques are weak, slow, weak, and difficult to defeat the enemy.
Is this Chinese martial arts?
Gradually, more and more students gathered to watch.
Li Zhen came to the training ground after morning practice and saw all the students watching. He shook his head and smiled, and then was about to return. At this time, Fang Supingpingtingting came over. There was a long sword in her hand. She had just finished her morning practice. Fang Sujian After seeing the scene on the field, his eyes were full of sparkles and he said: "Husband, there are many people in the training ground, let's go and take a look."
"good."
Li Zhen nodded and took Fang Su to the edge of the training ground.
Fang Su stared at the soldiers of the Jian Dao Camp, his eyes flashing, and whispered: "When I was in Guangzhou in the past, I heard my adoptive father say that there was Yang Wudi in Beijing, and he could beat the Wudi all over Beijing with his Tai Chi skills. At the same time, in Beijing, There is also Dong Haichuan, whose Bagua Quan is as exquisite as Yang Luchan's. The soldiers of the Jiandao Camp should practice these two boxing techniques. Husband, is this taught by Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan?"
Li Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang and Mr. Dong are both under my command and are now in Beijing."
"Tap, step, step,,."
There was a sound of footsteps, and Li Zhen looked up, but it was Colonel Delafield, Lincoln, and Grant arriving.
Li Zhen was wondering why these three people came to the training ground.
However, Li Zhen did not ask questions. Instead, he greeted with a smile and said, "Mr. President, are you coming to the training ground for morning exercises with Principal Delafield and Colonel Grant?"
Lincoln shook his head and said with a smile: "I heard that the soldiers under President Lee were practicing martial arts at the training ground, and it attracted the attention of the military academy students, so I came here to have a look."
Li Zhen frowned slightly, why did it happen at this time?
Lincoln's eyes fell on the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion. When he saw the soldiers from the two teams making gestures, he blinked and said with a smile: "Are these dance-like performances the mysterious martial arts of China?"
Grant looked at it for a while, with disappointment in his eyes.
Immediately, Grant continued: "President Lee, I think the martial arts performed by your soldiers are like dances. They have no lethality and no toughness."
Li Zhen said solemnly: "You can't understand the beauty of Chinese Kung Fu. Now when I'm practicing martial arts, it's natural to be slow and slow, but when I'm facing an enemy, it's fast, fierce and domineering. Even if I'm an absolute master Even Chinese people cannot appreciate the full essence of Chinese Kung Fu. They can only watch its superficial appearance. When you watch soldiers practicing martial arts, you can only watch the fun and fail to see the essence. Take the soldiers under my command as an example. Any one of them, They are all first-class warriors, not as simple as they seem."
Grant smiled and said: "President Lee, why don't we compete."
Li Zhendao: "Compare to what."
He thought to himself, this time, the fox's tail is exposed.
In a competition, who is afraid of whom?
Grant raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at Li Zhen provocatively, and said: "The school selects one person from the students who is good at fighting, and selects one person from the soldiers under your command, and the two sides compete in a martial arts competition to determine the winner. How about .”
Li Zhen immediately smiled and said, "Okay."
After a pause, Li Zhen stared at Grant with a half-smile and said loudly: "Actually, not to mention the soldiers under my command, even my wife can definitely defeat the cadets of West Point Military Academy. Colonel Grant, do you believe it?"
Li Zhen is by no means a person who is afraid of trouble. If you respect me, I will be polite to you.
If you want to step on me, then don't. I'm rude.
Grant looked provocative and wanted to trample his soldiers, but Li Zhen would not show mercy.
Tread as hard as you can to see who is more powerful.
Sure enough, when Grant heard what Li Zhen said, he was so angry that his mouth was full of smoke and his eyes were on fire. He didn't expect that Li Zhen would use a woman to humiliate him. Grant's eyes fell on Fang Su and said seriously: "President Li's wife is first-class. She is a stunning beauty, but it is a joke that such a weak woman can defeat a student. President Li, let’s get down to business and let the students compete with the soldiers under your command as an exchange between the two sides.”
The contempt in his tone made Fang Su very uncomfortable.
Fang Su said: "Colonel Grant, I am willing to accept the challenge of the military academy cadets."
Seeing the fight between the two sides, Lincoln did not stop him. He said with a hint of jealousy: "Madam, please think carefully. If you fight on the training ground, you are likely to be injured. If you go down, won't you make things difficult for the students? Besides, Madam A female prostitute is not suitable to play, but she should stay with President Lee obediently."
Although the words were words of persuasion, they kept motivating Fang Su.
Delafield frowned, a little dissatisfied with both Lincoln and Grant.
This is school, why are you always thinking about provoking fights?
Unfortunately, Fang Su was angered. He looked at Li Zhen and said firmly: "I'm going to compete, and I can't let them underestimate women."
After Li Zhen heard this, he frowned immediately.
He mentioned Fang Su just now, not because he wanted Fang Su to appear, but to use Fang Su to attack Grant. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the point where Fang Su was going to end his career. However, Fang Su had real skills, and his swordsmanship was already superb. , not afraid, Li Zhen looked at Grant and said: "Colonel Grant, you will arrange the competition. My wife will come on stage and let the students challenge. Of course, this is a challenge with weapons. She is used to using a long sword."
While speaking, Li Zhen pointed at a long sword in Fang Su's hand.
Grant didn't care whether he used weapons or not. He nodded, came to the rostrum of the training ground, and said loudly: "Students, President Lee wants to show us Chinese Kung Fu. He sent his wife to the stage and let you challenge. Therefore, I hope that students can actively participate, but when defeating the president's wife, you must remember that this is President Li's wife, so you must be merciful and don't strike too hard."
His words made the students below burst into laughter.
Liu Jintang asked the soldiers of the Sharp Blade Battalion to stop practicing martial arts. He turned his eyes and fell on Tranter, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
