Waidongchang Yamen is located in an alley east of the Imperial City. The alley is named after the Yamen and is called Dongchang Hutong. The Yamen faces south and faces the north. There are three large courtyards. In the front is the Yamen, in the middle is the mansion and behind is the courtyard.
There is a small school yard in the courtyard. At this time, more than ten people are watching Jiang Fazheng fighting with a young and strong man. The two are punching and kicking with such speed and strength that it is jaw-dropping.
Chang Yu could tell at a glance that this was not the kind of competition where the points were settled, but a competition where everyone had to learn what they had learned, and the only difference was their lives.
Jiang Fa is a master-level master. Although his body is thin and light, his kung fu is indeed the best in the world. Although he is a little older, his internal boxing has reached the level of proficiency. Even Chen Wangting is slightly inferior.
It's an undifferentiated competition of skills. If you fight alone in the yamen, very few can beat him.
But the young man in front of him, who was less than thirty years old, was as steady as a rainbow and as steady as a mountain. He was able to fight with every move for a long time without losing the slightest advantage. This made Chang Yu quite impressed. He secretly thought that even though Jiang Fa was old and had not yet reached the age of boxing, he was afraid of being young.
At your age, and the longer you practice Neijiaquan, the deeper your skills will become. When facing the enemy, you will not waste your energy by fighting hard, and always use four ounces to move a thousand pounds.
Who is this young man? Chang Yu looked at the young man and was completely unfamiliar with him. Fanzi next to him didn't realize that he was there because he was so absorbed in watching. At this time, Su Jing couldn't help but let out a low voice: "I don't think their boxing skills are very good."
Does it look like it?"
Chang Yu suddenly understood, and couldn't help shouting: "It turns out to be him."
"Who is he?" Before Su Jing could finish her words, she saw Chang Yu suddenly jump into the battle group and force Jiang Fa away with a flying kick, and then attacked the young man with a combination of punches like a violent storm.
This happened suddenly, and the young man hurriedly parried. He seemed to be in a hurry, but he blocked every punch and kick of Chang Yu: "Who are you? You are so shameless that you want to fight in a carousel!"
"Shameless? Then I'll let you see someone even more shameless." Chang Yu's violent attacks were unsuccessful. He thought to himself that this person really lived up to his reputation. He had just had a fierce fight with Jiang Fa for a long time and then encountered his own new style of fighting. How could he still do it?
Being undefeated in a parry shows that this person has a lot of practical combat experience, which immediately arouses his competitive spirit. He wants to fight quickly, otherwise he will have to spend a lot of effort to defeat him in a wheel battle. There is nothing to show off.
It's even a little embarrassing.
So he shouted loudly, punched a few times, and when the young man was in a hurry, he unexpectedly pounced forward and threw him to the ground. Yes, it was another ground attack.
The onlookers couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the young man even yelled angrily: "Your fighting style is not only shameless, it is simply a rogue. If life and death were at stake..." He quickly shut up. His ground skills were of this era.
No one could block the gap in martial arts for a long time when they first met, let alone a great master like Chang Yu. In just a few breaths, he locked the young man away and had no time to distract himself from talking, struggling desperately.
"Hehe, even Wuzhong has never been able to escape from the Governor's moves. This kid's efforts are all in vain..." The crowd was laughing and talking, and Chang Yu on the ground had locked the young man with the naked choke technique.
, the young man who was still struggling suddenly stopped moving, and murmured a sentence with a red face: "You are the Governor..."
Chang Yu let go of his hand before he suffocated, turned over and patted the dirt on his body: "Good work." The young man covered his throat and kept coughing. He couldn't speak for a while. Sujing stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Who is he?
Such good skills are definitely not unknown in the world!"
"Of course." Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Have you ever heard of Shi Jingyan?"
"You said he is the master of the strange beggar Wu Shu, the master of the magic weapon Shi Jingyan? How is it possible? Shi Jingyan has died long ago, and even if he hadn't died, he wouldn't be so young." Su Jing looked stunned.
Chang Yu shook his head and smiled: "He is Wang Zhengnan, who is as famous as Shi Jingyan!"
Sujing was stunned, looking at the young man slowly getting up from the ground and taking a long breath: "It turns out it's him, he is so young."
That's right, this person is Wang Zhengnan, the great master of the young generation in the world!
(At this time, Chen Wangting was in his forties and Jiang Fa was in his fifties and sixties. For the plot of the novel, Jiang Fa was made slightly younger, between forty and fifty)
Wang Zhengnan was only 27 or 28 years old at this time, and his martial arts and physical fitness were at their peak. He was originally the successor of the Wudang sect's internal martial arts, and he and Shi Jingyan were known as the heroes of the martial arts world. Later generations often heard of his name, but they didn't know that Shi Jingyan was older than him.
He may not be as skilled as him, but Wang Zhengnan had a very famous friend, Wang Zongxi!
Wang Zongxi is a great writer, and now he is a well-known public figure on Weibo. His son was Wang Zhengnan’s disciple and wrote his epitaph after Wang Zhengnan’s death, thus making this great martial artist famous for future generations.
Shi Jingyan did not have such big friends, and his apprentice Wu Shu was a stranger who played games, so his reputation was not well-known in later generations.
In fact, Wang Zhengnan didn't know Wang Zongxi at this time. They met after he returned to his hometown in seclusion after the defeat of the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, he was still in the army and became famous for his martial arts skills and rose through the ranks through his military exploits.
total".
So when Chang Yu competed with him, his first feeling was that he was very experienced in actual combat. After all, he was a warrior who had been on the battlefield and was not comparable to those martial arts masters.
These can also be confirmed by the epitaph Wang Zongxi later wrote for him. It records several of his achievements, and he often singled out more than ten or dozens of people.
"Young man, please see your Lord Governor. I am willing to be punished for my mistakes." Wang Zhengnan got up from the ground and regained his consciousness a little. He quickly knelt down to salute again. Chang Yu took a step forward and helped him up: "The Siming Neijia Boxing is really well-deserved.
"As he said this, he looked at Jiang Fa, Master Jiang: "I noticed that his boxing skills are very similar to your Tai Chi skills."
Jiang Fa smiled half-heartedly: "Although they are from different sects, they are from the same origin."
Chang Yu nodded. Later generations have many differences on the origin of Tai Chi. One is from Zhang Sanfeng, and the other is from Wang Zongyue. The branch of Wang Zongyue was passed down by Jiang Fa, so later generations of the six northern sects all regarded Jiang Fa as their ancestor (including
Chen from Chenjiagou is the second generation Tai Chi master.
Zhang Sanfeng's lineage comes from the Wudang sect, and Wang Zhengnan's lineage comes from Zhang Songxi. Zhang had three or four apprentices, among whom Ye Jimei (named Jinquan) from the Siming Dynasty was the most skilled, so this boxing technique spread in the Siming Dynasty.
One of the apprentices, Shan Sinan, was Wang Zhengnan's master.
Regardless of his past life or this life, Chang Yu has an inability to let go of martial arts. He is an absolute martial arts fanatic. What’s more, in this era of cold weapons, martial arts still have a lot of use! So after he took over, he began to recruit current masters.
For example, Jiang Fa and Chen Wangting, and of course Wang Zhengnan.
However, he knew that Jiang Fa was living in seclusion in Chenjiagou. He could just look for it by the address. However, there was very little information about Wang Zhengnan. He only said that he joined the army in his early years and did not know where he joined the army. This made it easier for his subordinates to find him.
, but the hard work paid off, and he was finally found, but he did not disappoint Chang Yu. He is definitely a first-class master, comparable to the existence of Wuzhong!
Chang Yu was naturally overjoyed to have another great master under his command. He was even happier than when he captured a city in a war. He invited Wang Zhengnan to the court, served him tea, and chatted for more than half an hour, until the eunuchs from the palace came.
A message was sent: Emperor Chongzhen summoned him to the palace, but he was still not satisfied and planned to hold a banquet in the evening to wash away the dust of Wang Zhengnan, Wang Lang, and Li Bingxiao, and welcome them to officially join Dongchang.
Chang Yu couldn't figure out why Emperor Chongzhen summoned him into the palace this afternoon. He took a carriage and went straight to the imperial city, but was told to go through the back door (Bei'anmen) because the queen at Dong'anmen was collecting money and was crowded.
.
The carriage entered the imperial city from Bei'anmen to the Long Live Mountain. When Chang Yu got out of the car and walked towards the Xuanwu Gate, the north gate of the palace, he planned to enter the palace. However, he was suddenly stopped by someone. He turned around and saw Emperor Chongzhen and Wu Mengming ascending the Long Live Mountain.
Shan, trotted over quickly, saying goodbye but feeling a little panicked. Could it be that this naughty Wu Mengming made some kind of report?
Wu Mengming really snitched, but it wasn't to slap Chang Yu, but to Guan Grandpa's birthday.
