Chapter 151 The Martial Arts Examination at Your Heart

As early as the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao announced that there would be civil and military examinations, but he never carried out the military examinations, and there were no martial arts exams.

The first development node of martial arts is the Tianshun period after the Tumubao change; the second development node is the Jiajing period.

Of course, if there is no Lin Daguan who travels through and changes history, there will be a third development node in the future of martial arts, and that is the reign of Chongzhen.

From these points in time, it can be seen that the imperial court's attitude towards martial arts is basically like engaging in martial arts after going to the doctor in a hurry after something goes wrong in the military.

In the current Wanli Dynasty, although the martial arts system was relatively mature, it imitated a lot of the liberal arts examination system, and there were also township examinations and general examinations.

But so far, the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty has not really held a palace test, that is to say, no martial arts champion has been produced in the martial arts.

At present, the martial arts champion commonly known by the folks is actually the No. 1 martial arts exam, which can only be equivalent to the liberal arts champion.

If the original historical trajectory is followed, the first real martial arts champion will not appear until the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Xing Xun was probably too lazy to waste time, and when he returned to Suzhou, he released the notice board and began to inspect the martial arts candidates.

The first candidates to be inspected were candidates from Wu County, Fushou County, Suzhou. The inspection time for martial arts was scheduled for May 25, and the location was at the Suzhou Medical School.

Lin Tailai took the Zhang family brothers with them, and brought common weapons such as big guns and double whips, and rushed to the Suzhou Medical School in the north of the city early.

"What? You are not allowed to bring weapons?" Lin Tailai asked the sergeant guarding the gate: "How can you perform martial arts without weapons?"

The guard sergeant said lazily: "Swords, guns, bows, horses, and stone piers are all prepared inside, so candidates don't need to bring their own!"

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Tailai curiously. He had never seen someone wearing a long-sleeved gown to take the martial arts exam. Maybe he was out of his mind?
Rules are rules, and Mr. Lin can only abide by them. He can only leave the double whips and big guns outside the field and enter the school field alone.

Of course, the sergeant did not expect that there was an iron finger tiger hidden in the big sleeve of Mr. Lin.

After entering the school grounds, there were 30 to [-] people gathered near Dianjiangtai, chatting lively and lively. This scene was completely different from the literary examination.

Lin Tailai walked over, stood outside and watched for a while, and then he understood.

These 30 people are all children of military households in Suzhou Wei, so they can get together and chat together.

It seems that Lin Tailai is the only one who signed up for the martial arts from real civilian households so far.

The martial arts examination has a function, and it is also to provide a way out for Yu Ding, a military household who has no inheritance rights.

And just like Pang Sili said, ordinary people don't have the opportunity to touch bows and arrows. People in Suzhou also love literature rather than martial arts, and not many people sign up for martial arts.

Therefore, martial arts is nominally open to all the people, but in fact, to a large extent, it is the private land of the children of military households.

Even if the children of military households in Suzhou City can pass the test, there are only twenty or thirty people standing here.

After all, there are hard indicators for martial arts display. Whether the archery can hit the target, or whether the stone pier can be moved, it is not easy to falsify.

Lin Tailai turned around, but still couldn't fit into the circle of these military children, instead he was vaguely rejected.

After all, the people standing here are all here to compete for the spot of Wu Xiucai!
As for Lin Tailai's height and physique, he looked like a person who was robbing the quota, and he was not "one of his own" from their military household, but an outsider.

Mere isolation is a trivial matter, and even some impure minds have begun to wonder how to get rid of this competitor.

Especially those direct competitors who gave up the bow and horse event and chose to participate in physical strength and martial arts events.

Although he felt the unfriendly atmosphere, Lin Tailai was not afraid.

Today's inspector is Xing Xunyong, and he and Xing Xunyong can talk!

But at this time Xing Xun was not there yet, and there were a few stone piers in a shaded place next to the platform.

The people waiting for the exam began to chat and laugh around the stone pier in the shade.

There are four types of stone piers, the three regular ones are 250 jin, [-] jin, and [-] jin. There are grooves on both sides of each stone pier for people to use.

If you don't plan to test the bow and arrow, you can choose physical strength and other weapons. These three stone piers are props for testing physical strength.

In addition, there is an unconventional [-]-jin stone pier, which is not used as a regular assessment tool.

Suddenly the crowd started booing and urged a man named Han Yuanguang to try the [-]-jin stone pier.

This is a very strong man compared to ordinary people, only a head shorter than Lin Tailai.

Standing in front of the [-]-jin stone pier, Han Yuanguang moved his arms for a while, then lifted his lower skirt, and held the groove of the stone pier with both hands.

"Drink!" Han Yuanguang yelled, with a ferocious face, and with both arms, he held his breath and lifted the stone pier up!
And moved to the height between the chest and abdomen, and then threw the stone pier down.

"Good!" "Mighty!" "Ruthless!" "Convinced!"

The crowd burst into applause immediately, surrounding Han Yuanguang and applauding non-stop.

Only Lin Tailai who was standing behind the crowd chuckled a few times and shook his head disapprovingly.

There is also a stone pier in the front yard of the hall. I don’t know if it weighs several hundred catties, but it must be bigger than this one of three hundred catties. He has moved it before.

So in Lin Tailai's eyes, lifting three hundred catties of stone pier is really nothing.

Han Yuanguang looked around triumphantly, and just happened to see Lin Tailai's disapproving expression when he was being flattered by everyone.

"What are you laughing at?" Han Yuanguang suddenly pointed at Lin Tailai and asked.

Mr. Lin is in a period of expansion recently, and he responded without thinking, "Just laughing at you!"

Han Yuanguang separated from the crowd, walked up to Lin Tailai with a few friends, and threatened, "Would you laugh again?"

Lin Tailai said contemptuously: "What's the matter with Xiaoyou? Can you save a piece of meat?"

Han Yuanguang felt that the atmosphere was brewing in place, and he also took advantage of it, so he winked at his left and right friends.

It's time to start!For private households like Lin Tailai who sign up for martial arts, the event must not be bow and arrow, but must be competing with him in physical strength and martial arts!
Then Han Yuanguang suddenly punched Lin Tailai directly in the face.

Lin Tailai's reaction speed was far beyond that of ordinary people. He shook his head and avoided the punch, and then counterattacked with a conditioned reflex.

At this time, Daguan Lin was still a little excited, and he didn't expect that there would be a project he liked as soon as he entered the school grounds.

Han Yuanguang didn't expect that the surprise punch would be dodged, he punched too hard, and his body was still moving forward.

As a result, when Lin Tailai quickly fought back with his fist, Han Yuanguang hadn't regained his inertia, and received a hard punch in the face.

Immediately, Han Yuanguang fell to the ground on his back and fell into a coma.

Only then did Han Yuanguang's friends realize that they didn't bother to check Han Yuanguang, and rushed towards Lin Tailai together.

The children of military households who can stand here and compete for Wu Xiucai are generally stronger than ordinary people, and they can somewhat kung fu.

Therefore, Lin Tailai didn't dare to stay where he was, and quickly turned around and ran along the steps to the high platform.

By the way, he quickly took out the iron finger tiger and put it on, and then stood firm at the entrance of the steps.

In this way, it can be ensured that at most only two people rush forward, so that he will not be surrounded on all sides.

Now there is no one holding wicker baskets to help him cover his flanks and rear, and his opponents are not ordinary people or thugs.

Fortunately, none of the opponents had any weapons. Lin Daguan, who was equipped with the Iron Finger Tiger, was much more lethal than his bare hands.

Several friends of Han Yuanguang rushed up the steps, and they were all knocked down within a few faces.

This is like stabbing a hornet's nest. After all, interpersonal relationships are one after another, and Han Yuanguang's friends also have other friends.

I don't know who yelled, and another seven or eight people rushed over unconvinced, and they must teach Lin Tailai, an outsider who broke in to grab food, a lesson!

Daguan Lin steadfastly held on to the advantage of the location, and received a few punches with all his strength, and knocked down these seven or eight people in one go.

All of a sudden, twelve or three people rushed from the platform to the bottom of the steps. All of them were bruised, some passed out, some rolled over with their hands or shoulder blades wailing.

Now the remaining dozen or so children of military households are no longer stable, and those who can come here are all the strongest children of the younger generation of Suzhou military households!

If it was beaten like this by one person, wouldn't it be a laughing stock if it spread!

So these dozen or so people who were originally watching from the sidelines had no choice but to take action.

When Lin Tailai was guarding the entrance of the steps, a few people quietly went around to the edge of the other side of the platform, trying to climb up and attack.

But after Lin Tailai found out, he retreated decisively from the steps.

Running to the side of the person who was trying to climb up, he was directly condescending, and kicked them all down one by one, and then Lin Tailai also jumped down to make punches.

At this time, there were only a dozen or so of the children of military households who were still capable of fighting.

Lin Tailai touched the cowhide inner armor, gritted his teeth and continued to work.

Of course, it's not about rushing forward to be tough, or going around the point of the platform, moving and dodging while looking for opportunities to fight back, taking a few punches and kicks as long as it is not fatal.

But the opponent's military family's children consumed faster than Lin Tailai, and before they knew it, their fighting strength was reduced to five or six.

Immediately, the situation was reversed, and it was Lin Tai who came after and beat up the remaining military children.

Xing Tong, the inspector censor in the south of the Yangtze River, finished his morning duties and rushed to the school grounds in a leisurely manner, ready to start today's martial arts inspection.

But when he walked into the school field, he found that all the candidates were lying on and around the stage.

Only an incomparably huge and majestic figure was left, and he was able to stand firmly in front of the commander's platform and accept the roll call.

"Lin Tailai! What's the situation!" Xing Xun shouted loudly.

Official Lin reported the truth: "I don't know why, all the children from military households surrounded and beat me together, I was helpless and forced to fight back.

These two or thirty people not only refused to admit defeat, but also stubbornly fought to the end, so it became like this.

All the officers and sergeants on duty here can testify for me!
And the blue shirt on my body, all the stains were left by their fists and feet, I suffered from the beatings, please let me be the master! "

After looking around, Xing Xun shook his head and said, "It seems that only you have passed the inspection!

The official selected you as a martial arts student in this subject in Wu County, and you can prepare for the martial arts examination in the second half of the year! "

Lin Tailai: "."

Can martial arts exams be so arbitrary?

For some reason, Mr. Lin felt that he liked martial arts more and more. What should I do?
Xing Xun looked at the dazed Lin Tailai and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

Xing Xunyong didn't want to waste time on boring martial arts affairs at all. He had a lot of official duties, so he finished his work early and went back to deal with official duties early.

Lin Tailai said deeply: "I only have one question now, how many military students will participate in the Nanzhili Township Examination?

If there are too many people, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight, so should we fight in groups? "

Xing Xun pressed: "."

You don't think that the Martial Arts Exam is just like in the novel, a big fight in the school field, right?
