Chapter 2984 2986【The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is the fast one】
Xiang Nan then quietly tried the "Sunflower Book".
For him, the first concern is to return to Yuan.
Because he had previously learned the Quanzhen sect''s inner strength, which has the effect of calming the mind. After he has successfully practiced it, he can let thunder and lightning flash, water break through mountains and collapse, and he will not hear or see it at all.
That’s why the Quanzhen sect’s inner strength is called the authentic Taoist sect, and there is no danger of going astray.
?? Guo Jinghui has many peerless martial arts skills, but when laying the foundation for his daughter, he still uses the Quanzhen sect''s internal skills, which shows that this internal skill is really good.
Furthermore, Xiang Nan knows how to move the soul and can also hypnotize himself. In addition, there is a magic pestle hanging around his neck, which also has a calming effect.
?Therefore, the first hurdle that others regarded as a natural chasm, "taking the heart and returning to the origin", seemed to Xiang Nan to be a smooth road, so he rushed over it in one go.
After passing the first level, the next training is really not difficult.
Xiang Nan quickly mastered it, and after he mastered it, he found that his speed was at least twice as fast as before.
?This is really scary.
You must know that his speed is already extremely fast. When he takes action, even masters such as Master Miejie, Purple-shirted Dragon King, and Twelve Treasure Tree King have difficulty seeing his movements clearly.
With just a flash of shadow, he had already finished his attack. If it goes twice as fast now, I''m afraid they won''t even be able to see the shadow. I felt something flash before my eyes, but I couldn''t see what it was.
??The so-called martial arts in the world is invincible, except speed.
Whether "strike first" or "strike later", the essence is to be faster than the opponent.
Let’s not talk about pre-emptive strikes. The competition is about who strikes first.
The core of the post-strike strategy is also "late to strike first".
?In the battle at Juxianzhuang, Qiao Feng and Shaolin Temple Master Xuan Nan used Taizu’s 36-style long fist duel. The reason why Qiao Feng was able to perfectly restrain Xuan Nan was because he was twice as fast as him, so he was able to achieve "last strike first," and use every move he made to perfectly restrain Xuan Nan.
?The reason why Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji were able to use Tai Chi and Tai Chi Sword to the extreme was because they had extremely high martial arts skills and extremely fast speeds. When fighting against others, they could strike from behind and strike first.
Yin Liting and Yu Lianzhou obviously did not have such a big advantage against the faster Zhou Zhiruo who had practiced "Nine Yin Manual Quick Edition".
Therefore, the "Sunflower Book" promotes people''s speed to the extreme, which is the ultimate principle of martial arts.
In terms of the level of realm, it is not inferior to the "Nine Yin Manual" and "Nine Yang Divine Skills". It can be called a martial arts treasure book.
…
In the following time, apart from practicing martial arts, Xiang Nan mainly focused on managing the country.
? He ??revised the country''s governing slogan from "Expelling the Tartars and restoring our rivers and mountains" to "The world is for the common good and the world is unified."
He proposed a series of policies that benefited the country and the people, such as equalizing land, reducing taxes, promoting water conservancy, focusing on education, punishing corrupt officials, and getting rid of bullies, and vigorously promoted their implementation.
?Although the reform is bound to face many obstacles, Xiang Nan has broken out of the mountain of swords and the sea of ??fire. If he is not afraid of life and death, why should he be afraid of resistance.
??Moreover, he achieved great justice in the country, won the hearts and minds of the people, and held the army firmly in his hands. The so-called political power comes from the barrel of a gun, which is enough for him to face all resistance.
Therefore, with his vigorous promotion, the reform was successfully implemented, the country became stronger and stronger, and its science and technology became more and more developed.
In the sixth year of Zhenwu, the imperial court sent troops again to pacify Mobei and the Hexi Corridor.
?This time there were not only long-range artillery, but also continuous machine guns, so they defeated the Beiyuan in Mobei and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the Western Region.
The Zhenwu Army fought north to the fishing sea, wiping out all 100,000 cavalrymen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. They captured about 2,000 princes and nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and seized cattle, sheep, horses, gold, silver, and countless furs.
The Zhenwu Army''s own losses were not large, and it can be said to have achieved a complete victory. Zhenwu army went west to fight against the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Facing the powerful firepower of the Zhenwu Army, they found it difficult to support them, so they abandoned Ganzhou and Liangzhou and retreated to the Western Regions. Both armies achieved victory.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan built additional cities in Liangzhou and Mobei as defense fortresses to prevent the Mongols from rising again in Mobei.
After the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, King Wu Jing of Zhenxi, who had been entrusted by the Yuan Dynasty, led the leaders of the Tubo tribes to come to ask for their surrender and express their submission.
Xiang Nan readily accepted the offer and awarded them titles such as Commander, Xuanfu, Dharma King, and Living Buddha respectively as a sign of win-win.
…
In the same year, Zhou Zhiruo gave birth to a daughter.
The ministers of the court advised Xiang Nan to have more concubines because he had passed his thirties and still had no heirs, so as to avoid having no heirs in the future.
? And Xiang Nan also knew that if the emperor had no heirs, the consequences would be quite serious.
It seems that the Ming Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had no one to inherit the throne because his son died, so the courtiers conspired to rebel, and through the coup to seize the door, they supported the restoration of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen.
Xiang Nan knew that he was in the prime of his youth and could live to be a hundred years old, but the courtiers would not think so.
No matter how loyal they were to him as the emperor, they all hoped that Xiang Nan would establish his successor as soon as possible.
?In this way, they can make bets in advance to ensure that they and their descendants will not lose the holy family and be favored forever.
Xiang Nan understands this little idea very well.
But he also knows that this is human nature and cannot be criticized harshly.
After all, if the water is extremely clear, there will be no fish, and if people are careful, there will be no disciples.
Since I can''t be as demanding and without desires as a saint, how can I expect my ministers to always be loyal?
Therefore, he agreed to the request of his ministers and issued an order to select concubines from all over the country.
In order to avoid disturbing the people, Xiang Nan specifically agreed that only families with officials above the fifth rank would participate in the selection of concubines.
Officials of the fifth rank or above recommend women aged over 16 and under 25 to enter the palace.
…
There are as many as 450 officials of fifth rank and above. If each family recommends a daughter, there will be 450 officials.
?These four hundred and fifty people will naturally have to be screened. Those who are not good-looking, have no talent, and are not clever will not be offered up by the officials.
?After these women went through several rounds of screening, the best of the best were finally selected, and the six most perfect ones were selected to enter the palace.
??These six women are all talented. They are beautiful and intelligent, knowledgeable and sensible, can play chess, calligraphy, painting, and knitting. They can all be regarded as talented women.
Xiang Nan was naturally satisfied, but Zhou Zhiruo was a little unhappy.
It was enough to cause trouble with Xiao Zhao and Zhao Min before, but now there are six more people.
??The selection of a concubine is done every five years. When the time comes, it will really be the waves behind the Yangtze River that push the waves ahead, and the waves in front will die on the beach.
"Don''t worry, you are always the royal empress, and your mother is the one who honors the world. No matter how many concubines there are, they are just your ministers, and they must obey your orders. If you are happy, just talk to them, and if you are not happy, just punish them. "Xiang Nan advised, "Why bother with yourself?"
After hearing what he said, Zhou Zhiruo was satisfied.
