The rise of the prince

Chapter 57
The next morning, Li Ye got up early for morning exercises, ran as usual to greet Chen Yu next door, and then stood up.

Li Ye could already feel that he was almost ready to practice.In fact, Bajiquan's methods of exerting strength and offensive and defensive moves have long been in his mind, and he has a very deep memory, so it stands to reason that he doesn't need to practice.

In fact, this is far from enough, because when it comes to physical conflict, most of it happens in an instant, and the brain has no time to think. It relies on experience and instinctive muscle memory, and this kind of muscle memory requires countless repeated training.

The Bajimen vertical door weapon is a big gun, which was used in horse warfare in the past.Bajiquan's attack method itself is developed from the horse battle spear technique, and it pays attention to using the body as a shield, going forward bravely, hitting one and not hitting two.

There are traces to follow in the development history of weapons, and many things are inevitable choices of history and follow objective laws.

For example, knives replaced swords, long-range weapons gradually increased and eventually became the overlord of the battlefield.

In the previous life, during the large-scale foreign wars during the heyday of the Han Dynasty, it was gradually discovered that the sword was not suitable for immediate combat, so the ring head sword gradually replaced the sword as the standard equipment of the army.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties after the Han Dynasty, the sword had completely replaced the sword as the standard preparation for the army.In the Song Dynasty, the proportion of bows and crossbows in the army exceeded [-]%.By the Ming Dynasty, [-]% of military equipment had become firearms.

So no one is a fool, let alone the ancients. Everything is constantly improving and innovating with the needs of war.

Among them, only one type of cold weapons has occupied an important position in the era of cold weapons since ancient times, and that is long weapons such as spears and spears.

In the official history, Lu Bu never used Fang Tian to draw a halberd, but used a spear; Cheng Yaojin did not use a three-axe, but used a Tang Dynasty-like spear and long soldier; Developed westward to the Aral Sea of ​​Central Asia, conquered Afghanistan, reached Persia, and extended eastward to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Su Dingfang, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty who was invincible from north to south, also used lances.

When the art of war is brought to the extreme, it often simplifies and returns to the basics.

When killing on horseback reaches the extreme, the results are almost the same in both the East and the West.

One inch long and one inch strong, more than three meters in length, and some even five meters long, with the high-speed sprint of the horse, any fancy movements are useless, and even a big gun of that length can't dance even if it wants to dance wildly. As a result, killing and life and death converge and return to the most primitive and simple thing-a stab at the moment of handing over a horse!Either you die, or I die.

This is the boxing intent of Bajiquan, the will inherited from the horse fighting the big gun, there is no retreat, no leeway, one blow will kill, either you die or I die!
If you have learned Bajiquan and other traditional boxing methods, or modern martial arts such as boxing, you can easily see the essential difference between Bajiquan and them.

Take Wing Chun's bunt and boxing as examples. The purpose of Wing Chun is to protect one's own center of gravity while disturbing the enemy's center of gravity.When boxing attacks, the center of gravity is always behind the hitting point and remains stable, which means that both boxing and Wing Chun can retreat immediately after a hit and maintain their center of gravity.

The center of gravity of the human body is in the lower abdomen, which is also called Dantian in traditional martial arts.

But Bajiquan is different. The end point of the previous attack is the starting point of the next attack. Using the body as a shield means that the center of gravity moves with the attack, and the whole body is used as a weapon to be thrown away.In other words, the offensive will never be retracted. This is not a self-defense punch, but a murder punch.

This kind of boxing is very suitable for Li Ye's previous identity, a person who fights for his life.But it's not suitable now, what he needs more is a self-defense style of play, but unfortunately he can't, he only knows this kind of style of play that is either you die or I live.

It seems that in the future, there will be less hands-on with people unless it is absolutely necessary.

Thinking of this, Li Ye finished his morning exercise, and Zhao Si came here not long after. After giving him Yitong money yesterday, he changed his miserable appearance and went home happily. He came early today, and continued to work. If I have nothing to do, I go to see him doing carpentry, and I also supervise him not to lose shape.

According to this schedule, you should be able to drink small stove steamed wine before the New Year, but it is estimated that a lot of charcoal will be spent to maintain the temperature, otherwise the food in this cold weather may not be able to ferment.

Thinking that Li Ye asked Yue'er to find him a pen and paper, and started drawing drawings again. Anyway, brewing wine requires two pots, so why not make another copper pot for boiling mutton by the way.

Before noon, the palace ushered in two special guests.

Recently, a song "The Wind and Rain on November [-]th" that has spread all over the capital reminds people of Xiao Wang Ende. Many people came to the door with gifts, and some people came to visit, but they were all received by Li Ye in the help of Yan Yan. Among them were those near the Wangfu There are also some insignificant relatives and friends. Li Ye's refusal to show up is to continue to leave the world with the impression that he is a dandy and incompetent.

But today these two are different, after the visiting famous assassins were sent, Yan Yan sent them to him directly, and it was clearly written in gilt characters: Mingde Gong, Wang Yue.

Li Ye was taken aback. He hadn't been to Wangjianglou for a few days, and he hadn't seen the old man Degong, but why did he come here by himself? Isn't he afraid of the impact? Every move is eye-catching, so if you come to the palace so casually, you won't be afraid of other people's suspicions.

Thinking about it, since Ming Degong came, Yan Yan couldn't deal with it naturally. Li Ye patted Zhao Si on the shoulder and told him to go out to greet him after doing a good job, leaving only the carpenter with a moved face.

There are two carriages parked outside the palace, luxuriously decorated, the front one is purple and black, the back one is light blue, with pink curtains, it looks like the carriage of the daughter's family.

De Gonghe was half a body behind, and Gillian, who was hiding behind him, had already got off the car and waited outside the gate of the palace. Apart from the coachman, she didn't bring any attendants, and she was really traveling in plain clothes.

Li Ye came out and folded his hands without saluting. He shook his head and said, "Aren't you afraid of other people's gossip even if you go to the government like this?"

De Gong waved his sleeves: "I will gossip when I visit my friend's former residence. Do you want me to chat here?"

"Haha, okay, come in, I've always respected the old and loved the young." Li Ye said, making a gesture of invitation.

Degong was very impolite, and strode into the palace. Gillian followed behind him, and saluted him with a sound in Hufu and fur. Li Ye nodded casually and followed behind his grandfather. I have to say that ancient etiquette is still very thoughtful. Well, you dress up so nicely for casual visits.

The two drivers took two large boxes from the back of the car and followed them.

Degong said as he walked under the lead of Li Ye: "I came here to thank you this time. You don't know about some kindness, so don't ask. It's not appropriate to talk about it. In short, you may just do it unintentionally, but you will always help me." I have come to this old man, so I would like to express my thanks."

Li Ye was said to be at a loss. Although he didn't know where to help him, isn't it always good to be indebted to others?

"Secondly, the old man wants to invite you to the meeting in the plum garden. I know your temperament. If I don't come, you will never go."
