This era is full of all kinds of contradictions, class contradictions, contradictions in positions, contradictions between good and evil, and contradictions between technology and martial arts.
Cycling and Qinggong competitions have attracted the attention of many people. In fact, no matter who wins, nothing will change. Internal strength is already dispensable in the eyes of many people. No matter how good Qinggong is, it is only a person's ability.
Most people can learn to ride a bicycle.
Zhang Cuishan watched two games and suddenly felt that the martial arts he had learned for more than ten years seemed to have no use. In the past, martial arts practitioners used to hoe the strong, help the weak, and uphold justice, but in this era, they are a bit hypocritical.
Yin Susu also saw that Zhang Cuishan was worried, so she invited him to have dinner and tea together.
Zhang Cuishan went happily and revealed his views during the banquet: "What I have seen and heard since coming down the mountain has caused a great impact. The world has changed. Ordinary people can use equipment to compete with us ascetic warriors in Qinggong. It is really shocking.
.”
Yin Susu couldn't help but nodded: "That's true, but you don't have to worry too much. There is still a place for people who practice martial arts now, and cultivating internal strength can prolong life, which is incomparable to ordinary people. It can only be said that each has its own merits, and there is no distinction between them.
"She's very comforting.
When Zhang Cuishan heard this, he laughed: "I thought it was wrong. Miss Yin is so talented, I am ashamed of myself."
Although the two had only known each other for a short time, they were already like old friends, and they agreed to meet again in a few days before parting ways.
When Yin Susu returned to the Tianying Cult, she found that a guest had arrived. When she inquired about it, she found out that they were visitors from Taiwan.
There are silkworms that eat people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are other bad things happening in other places too. Salt eats people, mines eat people, etc.
Colonialism arose in Europe with the process of the Industrial Revolution, but that was because European countries were small countries with few people, few people and little land, so they had to expand.
However, in a big country like the United States, the Industrial Revolution liberated productive forces through civil war. Northern capitalists defeated the large farmers in the South to liberate land-bound slaves and obtain more workers. They further squeezed the country's potential without colonizing abroad.
In short, changes are accompanied by blood.
Now the Yuan Dynasty and Taiwan have taken different paths at the same time. Because the Yuan Dynasty had a vast territory and a large population, it could fully carry out the land enclosure movement internally, and the reasons for land enclosure in different regions were also different, but they were all transitioning to large-scale production.
Farmers and small workshops who own land will inevitably be affected.
Because Taiwan has little land and few people, it has to colonize other countries. Now Taiwan's goal is small countries in Southeast Asia, but Taiwan is very, very short of soldiers.
So Taiwan came to Mingjiao.
Mingjiao, which came from the Middle East, developed rapidly in the Yuan Dynasty. Because many farmers were unwilling to be workers, they were willing to continue to be farmers and wanted to get their land back, so they joined Mingjiao to resist the imperial court.
There are people in Mingjiao, Taiwan is rich, and they all look down on the imperial court, so they naturally came together.
This time, Taiwan hopes that the Sky Eagle Sect can cooperate with them in attacking Ryukyu, and Taiwan will pay enough commission.
Yin Tianzheng was thinking about it. To be honest, he only realized the difficulties of being a leader now that he started his own business. In the past, when he was a Dharma King in the Ming Cult, he didn't have to worry about the food and clothing expenses of the Ming Cult members. Now he has founded the Tianying Cult. Although there are only a few hundred members,
People eat horse chews, and money flows out every day. If there is no income, it will be difficult to support it.
"The ambition of Island Master Guo is not small. Ryukyu is the springboard between Fuso and Taiwan. If Ryukyu is captured, Fuso can be taken from the top and North Korea can be entered from the west." Yin Tianzheng is the oldest and most experienced among the four Dharma Kings.
One, of course, knows the importance of Ryukyu. Now that Taiwan is trapped on an island, it will be difficult to achieve anything after all, but it will be different after capturing Ryukyu. Both Fuso and North Korea are very good targets.
Especially North Korea, if it is captured, it will be the first step in counterattacking the Yuan Dynasty.
The Taiwanese envoy said that he did not understand what was being said at all, and that they were just here to hire people from the Sky Eagle Sect to help.
Yin Tianzheng thought for a moment: "In addition to gold and silver, I also want one thing, a dragon-slaying sword!" He is a martial arts person, so naturally he is very interested in the famous Guo Jing's sword.
"The Dragon-Slaying Sword has been lost, how can we take out this sword?" The messenger was telling the truth.
But Yin Tianzheng knows where the Dragon-Slaying Sword is, and he only needs the help of Taiwanese envoys to get it. The Dragon-Slaying Sword is now in the hands of a small and unpopular gang, and they are studying its secrets.
Upon hearing this, the envoy realized that if the information was true, it would be easy.
When Yin Susu heard that her father had agreed to such an important thing, she said, "Dad, do we really want to go to sea to help?"
"Don't worry, dad is sensible." "This is a hugely profitable thing, there will be no mistakes." Yin Tianzheng said that he would definitely make the money.
"But Dad, why are you looking for the dragon-slaying sword?" Times have changed, and it would be foolish to still believe that the dragon-slaying sword can command the world.
"The one I admire most in my life is the hero Guo Jing. It's a pity that I never met him. If I could get his sword, it would fulfill my wish." Obviously Yin Tianzheng doesn't believe in the nonsense of commanding the world. Of course, does he really admire him?
Guo Jing, I don't know, maybe he just wants to control the sword in his own hands, so that he can use it to create chaos when necessary, so that he can profit from it.
"Daughter, you are talented and smart, and your grasp of world affairs is much more accurate than your brother. I also know that in the past few years, your skills have developed rapidly. As for that bicycle, your brother did not believe in evil and still went to the competition, and finally lost.
, until now, it has failed to recover. Although dad is one of the four guardians of Mingjiao, Mingjiao is now leaderless and scattered. Dad is heartbroken, but there is nothing he can do. Dad is old, but you and your brother are still young. I want to buy some family property overseas.
, if there are changes in the Central Plains, you can go to sea."
"Dad!" After hearing Yin Tianzheng's words, the daughter burst into tears, but she still said firmly: "Dad, you are right, I think the world will be in chaos sooner or later, and Taiwan will be relatively safe by then.
Taiwan is indeed a good move."
At this time, the Yuan Dynasty court was also overwhelmed by the continuous rebellions in various places. In order to prevent such incidents from happening, the court was preparing to draft a "ban on martial arts" and no longer allowed anyone to practice martial arts or wear swords.
There was also a lot of quarrel in the court, with the military commanders opposed and the civilian officials supporting.
The reason for the opposition is: this is a one-size-fits-all policy and is extremely undesirable. Even the weakest Southern Song Dynasty did not implement the ban on private martial arts. The Yuan Dynasty established a country by force. Is it worse than the Southern Song Dynasty? Moreover, many knights are patriotic.
People, they practice martial arts to serve the emperor's family and the court, and they must not chill the hearts of the warriors in the world. If the court really gives the order, let alone whether it can be truly implemented and put an end to rebellion, there is a high probability that it will not succeed, because there has been something like this in the pre-Qin Dynasty
An example of accepting the soldiers of the world, but in the end the Qin Dynasty was overthrown. Just by issuing an order at that time, all the warriors in the world stood on the opposite side of the imperial court, and the gains outweighed the losses.
The civil servants believed that the Yuan Dynasty was not the Qin Dynasty, and that the Qin Dynasty only accepted weapons. However, the Yuan Dynasty wanted to put an end to martial arts training. The reason was simply because the future was a mechanical world. How could martial arts training resist guns? As for the ban on martial arts, it would affect the patriotism of patriots.
That is even more nonsense. Is their patriotism just paper? It is precisely because of patriotism that they must support the national policy more. The ban on martial arts is to maintain order. The ancients said that chivalrous people use force to break the ban, so there is a reason to ban martial arts.
Conducive to national stability and social development.
In the end, the 'ban on martial arts' was shelved, but everyone knew that this idea was already in the emperor's mind and would never disappear. If the emperor was really unhappy one day, then the ban on martial arts in the world would be nothing more than a sudden east wind.
