Fujian General Military Mansion, west of Jiangjun Mountain.

Jiangjun Mountain was earlier called Yeshan, named because of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period swordsmith Ou Zhizi, where iron was smelted and swords.

Later, perhaps because of the atmosphere of gold and iron soldiers, the imperial court set up the Fuzhou General Military Mansion here. Fujian was originally only the deputy general army, but later due to the seriousness of the Japanese invaders, it was upgraded to the general military office during the Jiajing period.

Fujian General Military Office, under the jurisdiction of one battalion and two tours, respectively, the new front battalion, the standard front tour, the standard right tour, set up a battalion officer to command. The battalion and the tour each set up a general commander to lead the troops, and in case of floods, each division of troops was stationed in the coastal areas. After the flood, the second tour is stationed in the east of the town to prepare for the city, and the new camp is prepared for the city.

At present, the guards are already eroded, and only the first battalion and two tours of the General Military Mansion, as well as 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers, can fight. Therefore, the burden of resisting the Japanese has long been moved from the command of the three divisions to Yu Dayou's shoulders.

Last year, Lin Feng came to attack, Yu Dayou was suspended, and the Japanese invaders plundered in Fujian, and then Yu Dayou recovered, leading the general Hu Shouren to lead the troops to defeat Lin Feng on land.

Lin Feng fled to Magong Island, Yu Dayou, Hu Shouren also led the ship to pursue to Magong Island, the two armies fought again, Lin Feng was defeated again and fled to the port of Xiaogang, which is separated from Fujian by an ocean. The officers and soldiers who came here also chased after him, but Yu Dayou, Hu Shouren still did not let Lin Feng go, and led the sailors to cross the sea and break Lin Feng's widows in Longgang.

Lin Feng had no choice but to sail south and run to Luzon to grab territory with the Spaniards. Only then did the Ming army give up the pursuit, and the Yu family army returned to the garrison. The court was excited, and Yu Dayou was rewarded by the governor of the capital to the commander of the same knowledge, and he was promoted to the title of a product.

In another historical time and space, Lao Yu has a poor relationship with civil officials. was impeached and returned home, and the official position stopped at the governor's affairs, although there was a reinstatement after that. But he never led his troops to fight again.

This should be regarded as a self-inflicted butterfly effect.

Along the way, Lin Yanchao didn't give the soldier who escorted him to the General Military Mansion a good look. However, he was angry with him, but he did not move and did not say a word. The other party just led Lin Yanchao into the flower hall of the General Soldier's Mansion like a thief.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, it was useless to be angry with this person, Yu Dayou came to him to repay the favor.

Soon Yu Dayou came, but saw the general's white hair. Although he is old, the tiger is still there.

Lin Yanchao's father was a soldier in his last life, so he respected soldiers the most since he was a child. When I was a child, I wanted to be a soldier when I grew up, but I ended up staying up late and reading too much, and I got stuck in my eyesight, so I could only continue to study. But he still has great respect for the soldiers.

Lin Yanchao stood up and saluted Lao Yu. Not on the surface. It's respect from the heart.

Yu Dayou sat down on the main seat and said, "It's still a little baby, Zhan Ming didn't find the wrong person?" ”

The soldier who grabbed Lin Yanchao lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "Go back to the big handsome, there is no mistake." This kid denied it before, but then his neighbor revealed his identity, and his subordinates took him to the house. ”

Yu Dayou said: "That's it, that's it, the people in the market are just a lot of eyes." Ben Shuai kindly invited you, but you pushed back. It's not pleasant. ”

Hearing Yu Dayou say this, Lin Yanchao suddenly remembered. Just like the Qi family's army, the Yu family's army has a rule when selecting soldiers, don't want the slippery people in the city and countryside, don't want the old soldiers, don't want the city people who are used to seeing the government, it is best to see the people in the countryside who are timid in the government, and the rural people and miners are the best.

In later generations, Zeng Guofan formed the Hunan army, and he also recruited troops with this rule, and he had to have calluses on his hands to be the children of peasant families.

Thinking of this stubble, Lin Yanchao said: "Yu Dashuai, you are wrong. ”

Yu Dayou didn't say anything, and Ding Zhanming, the soldier who was escorting Lin Yanchao on the side, shouted: "Boy, bold!" Is Dashuai also offended by you? ”

Lin Yanchao rubbed his ears and said, "Big brother, can you not speak so loudly." ”

Yu Dayou waved his hand, and Zhanming put down the hand that pressed the knife.

"You say that Ben Shuai is wrong?" Yu Dayou said.

Lin Yanchao said: "Yu Dashuai, I am not from the city, I am also from a peasant family!" ”

"Really?" Yu Dayou's expression eased.

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, my family lives in Hongtang Township, and my family has been farming for generations. ”

"Well, no wonder it's a bit bold! My family, who has killed more than a dozen widows, is not afraid. ”

"I haven't done anything bad in my life, what is there to be afraid of, I directly admitted my identity at the beginning, but I just looked at this person and didn't look like a good person." Lin Yanchao stabbed Zhanming with the words.

Zhan Ming just stood with his hands crossed, without justification, just standing with his head down. Yu Dayou took the teacup and said: "Those who are soldiers are rough people, and good people can't kill people!" ”

"What Yu Dashuai said is true, Yu Dashuai has strict military discipline, and he will only kill the rebellious Japanese robbers, how can he not hurt the people, and how can I worry about my own life." Lin Yanchao talked eloquently.

Yu Dayou's expression was slightly pleased: "Well said, sit down." ”

"Thank you Dashuai Yu!" Lin Yanchao clasped his fists and saluted, and sat down next to the chair.

Yu Dayou said: "Young people have courage and literary talent, when you saved Ben Shuai's career with a pen, I didn't want to be a nagging official for a long time, but I had to wear this uniform, and now I drove Lin Feng to Luzon, and calculated that Ben Shuai had a bad breath in his heart." ”

"I was going to resign and retire when I came back this time, and I no longer suffered from the bird's spirit of those civil officials, but I didn't expect that the imperial court would add this official as the commander and the same knowledge, and control the soldiers and horses of the three roads in Fujian. I don't owe anyone in my life, how do you say you want Ben Shuai to repay you? ”

Lin Yanchao said immediately: "Yu Dashuai, there is no need to say that, I was just a gesture at the beginning, if you really want to repay it, you will destroy Lin Feng!" When I was young, my family was strict and kind, and it was at the hands of this person that I died, and if Yu Dashuai avenged me, my whole family was grateful to Yu Dashuai. ”

This sentence moved Yu Dayou as well, and he said: "Okay, Ben Shuai will definitely promise you to destroy this giant for the people of Fujian." ”

At that moment, Lin Yanchao bowed and said: "Thank you so much, Dashuai Yu." In the future, if Yu Dashuai wants me to have this pole in hand, just say it, and I will go all out. ”

Yu Dayou stepped forward and helped Lin Yanchao up and said, "Ben Shuai has always disliked scholars, but you are an exception. Come, Ben Shuai invites you to drink! ”

At that moment, Yu Dayou set up a banquet in the General Soldier's Mansion to invite Lin Yanchao. It is said that it is a banquet, and the specifications are a little high. In fact, it's just a pot of wine for two people and a few snacks.

Yu Dayou raised his chopsticks and said: "Come, come, it's all a few hometown dishes, I don't know if you are used to eating it." ”

By the way, Yu Dayou is a native of southern Fujian, 'love bia plus e (love to fight to win)', and he can be regarded as a local celebrity.

At that moment, the two continued to drink, and Zhanming stood beside him with his sword.

The two talked for a while, Lin Yanchao drank averagely, and he was afraid of drinking too much, so he immediately pulled the topic and said: "I heard that Yu Dashuai wrote a book called the Sword Sutra, right?" ”

Yu Dayou nodded and said: "You scholars have also heard of it, but the Sword Sutra is just someone else's name, and this book teaches people to use sticks!" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Of course I know, there is a sentence in the book, I remember it very well, saying that using a stick is like reading four books, hooks, knives, guns, and palladium, such as learning one scripture." The four books are clear, and the principles of the six classics are also clear. If you can stick it, then the method of each sharp weapon will be obtained from now on. It's really simple to say, I don't know what the reason for this sword scripture is? ”

Yu Dayou pinched his beard and sighed: "That was when Ben Shuai was young, I was as old as you at that time, and I studied under Mr. Yu Xuzhou to learn the Jing Chu long sword......

Lin Yanchao has read a miscellaneous book that said that this Mr. Xuzhou, named Zhao Benxue, is a descendant of the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty, who not only learned the swordsmanship of technical fighting, but also learned the art of war, and noted Sun Tzu's art of war, and then he passed on his swordsmanship and art of war to Yu Dayou.

But I heard Yu Dayou continue: "Mr. Xuzhou said that learning the sword is the law of one enemy, and learning the art of war is the law of millions of enemies, and the two are connected. Ben Shuai realized from this that the principle of the world originated from the covenant, and it was not scattered in the complex. Those who are scattered in the complex, do not taste the truth of the covenant, and then learn the stick from Li Gong, and write this book by combining the two. ”

Li Gong is Li Liangqin, the founder of Zhang Erba, another chivalrous warrior on the rivers and lakes, who also devoted himself to the anti-Japanese war.

When Lin Yanchao heard this, he remembered that Miyamoto Musashi also said in his book of five wheels a few decades later that the technique of defeating a person is no different from defeating 100,000 people, and that a master of war can see the big from the small, just like a huge Buddha statue can be carved from a wooden figurine one inch high.

This is also the art of war from the sword to the Tao. However, in the art of war, Miyamoto Musashi has a theory, but he has not practiced it, but Yu Dayou has practiced the art of war and swordsmanship, and he also went to Shaolin at the beginning to teach Shaolin warrior monks stick method.

Lin Yanchao was interested, Yu Dayou was not inferior to Qi Jiguang's famous general, but what he learned in his life was not widely circulated in later generations, and it was far less famous than Qi Jiguang's new book.

Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "Yu Dashuai, the paper is shallow, and I have read the Sword Sutra but I have nothing in my later life, you said that you can use the sword technique into the art of war, I don't know if you can teach me the art of war and the sword art together?" ”

Yu Dayou said with a smile: "You are a scholar, you have no power to restrain the chicken, what is the use of learning the art of war and swordsmanship?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "I don't want to be Marshal Yu's art of war in my later life, there is no successor, although I am a scholar, I can also learn it, I can't use it myself, and I can also write books for future generations." ”

Yu Dayou sighed: "You are right, Ben Shuai is already old, and he has fought countless battles in his life, and he also wants to have a successor." My subordinates are all leading soldiers to fight, and there is no one who knows how to write and ink, and if you are interested in writing books, this commander will be fulfilled by you. In this way, Zhanming has followed me for many years, and he has learned some of the art of war, battle formation, swordsmanship, and stick techniques, and I will let him go to your house in three days, teach you, and you can write a book. ”

Lin Yanchao listened and said: "Yu Dashuai, I study on weekdays to go to the imperial examination, and I can only write in my spare time." ”

Yu Dayou said: "In this way, it's okay, I'll send Zhanming to your side, if you don't understand anything, just ask him." ”

At that moment, Yu Dayou instructed Zhanming: "Zhanming, you are next to this little brother, when he finishes writing, you will come back to me." ”

"Yes, Marshal." Zhan Ming agreed. (To be continued......)
