The first among the heavens begins with martial arts

Chapter 41 Far-reaching layout
The next day, the news of Shangguan Jin Hong's death finally leaked out, and the Ten Factions Alliance gathered strong soldiers to hunt down Jing Wuming and other fish that slipped through the net.

Qian Heng decided to return to the headquarters and revise the plan, so he arranged for Bai Xiaosheng and Wuhua to be taken away.

He also invited Tie Zhongtang to visit Qixingtang, and Tie Zhongtang readily agreed.

A group of people wandered back to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and news of the demise of the Money Gang also came.

Shangguan Fei was slapped on the head by the abbot of Shaolin Xinhu, Zhuge Gang was headed by Hua Zhenzhen, the new head of the Huashan School, and Xiang Song surrendered to the Wudang School. Although the Wudang elder Mu Taoist accepted his surrender, Later, someone reported that Xiang Song had killed innocent men and bullied women, and Taoist Mu killed him with his own hands.

After thinking about it for a while, Qian Heng knew that Taoist Mu probably changed his position and turned Xiang Song into a ghost under his command.

Only Jing Wuming's two swords were unleashed, and no one could cure him, and finally broke out of the encirclement and disappeared.

The power of the Qiang Gang was divided among Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan, Dong, and Kunlun. The four factions in the south only got some floating money.

The ten faction alliance has temporarily come to an end.

But the rivers and lakes did not calm down, but became more and more chaotic.

On the one hand, Zhengdao has not fully absorbed the assets of the Blue Dragon Club. Many small and corner businesses are not enough to take care of decent manpower, and at the same time, they are not very valued. Moreover, the side business is like a gambling brothel, and Zhengdao does not care about reputation. Business, are packaged for sale.

After all, sects are different from gangs. They don't spend too much energy on running the industry, and they are naturally unwilling to take care of trivial matters, which has led to a power vacuum in many counties.

What big factions look down on, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the eyes of small forces. The small and medium-sized factions that did not fall in this turmoil fought fiercely for these vacant resources and power.

The Nine Sects also intentionally indulge and fuel the flames. They choose small forces close to their own families to provoke disputes, consume the vitality of the middle and lower levels of the arena, and only jump out to mediate when the fight is too serious, thereby expanding the influence of the sect.

Among them, Qian Heng also has a certain responsibility.

After his unremitting efforts, the reputation of the formula of longevity finally broke through the joint blockade of the imperial court and the upper echelons of the rivers and lakes, and basically every warrior knew of its existence.

The Secret of Longevity is not only known by everyone in the Jianghu, but it has also successfully broken the circle. Even town peddlers and rural folks have heard of it. Basically, [-]% of the population in the Ming Dynasty knew this secret of longevity.

Among the six levels of Longevity Jue, the first four levels focus on internal strength, the fifth level focuses on moves, and the sixth level focuses on spirit. Although it can increase lifespan, it must be practiced to a certain level.

Practicing the first level almost requires the skill of a third-rate master. This level cannot increase lifespan, but youth does not age. The second level must be a master with profound skills. The third level must be a master with peak internal strength. The fourth level Even more exaggerated, you need to rebel against your innate ability to become a demigod.

On the contrary, the fifth and sixth floors have the least threshold, and do not need to reach the realm of consummation, and they can be completed even in a short period of time.

According to Qian Heng's own classification, the realms to be reached on these two levels belong to the first realm of art and god respectively, which is really not difficult to say.

The vast majority of martial artists in the arena do not have the right to choose martial arts, and at least half of them do not even have access to inner martial arts, and can only practice external martial arts.

Therefore, only a small number of people in the first four levels of the Longevity Art can meet the requirements of the first level, and they cannot practice the last three levels due to internal strength problems, so they can only focus on the last two levels.

Unlike internal strength, which needs to be breathed out and accumulated, the fastest way to improve spirit and moves is to fight. The stimulation between life and death is a good way to push up the spiritual realm, and actual combat is a shortcut to hone martial arts skills.

One static and one movement, the combination of movement and stillness is the avenue to the supreme martial arts, but the bottom of the world who lacks inner strength and mentality can only choose to work hard on the road of movement.

Fighting can improve the realm of martial arts, hone martial arts, and thus achieve longevity, so many people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and want more battles, and peace will naturally be difficult to come.

Countless people are eager to practice martial arts and want to step into the rivers and lakes. Every local gang has endless human resources, which also leads to gang fighting. As long as one side is not completely wiped out, it will soon absorb people and make a comeback.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the competition among gangs at the lower levels has never been so fierce, but because the strength of the middle and upper levels of the martial arts is far greater than that of the lower levels, the chaos has not yet passed on.

But many smart people have already seen that the spearhead of riots has already appeared in the martial arts. In the future, after the small and medium-sized gangs have accumulated a large number of masters through battles, they will definitely fight against the famous big factions who have monopolized the superior martial arts.

When superior skills are linked to longevity, ordinary warriors with certain strength must seek the inner skills of famous schools.

Famous factions may choose to absorb some new masters, but if they want to maintain their superior status, they must not be able to absorb too many, otherwise their interests will be diluted.

As long as the number of masters increases, the conflict between them and vested interests will intensify sooner or later.

At that time, the famous sects will either open up advanced martial arts, or suppress civilian warriors. There is no middle option. This will be an unprecedented catastrophe in the martial arts world.

When the famous faction wins, the martial arts will wither and enter the next cycle. When the number of civilian masters increases again, a new round of war will start.

The victory of civilian warriors will reshuffle the world, usher in a new era, popularize martial arts, and enter a road that Qian Heng has never experienced.

This is also the fundamental purpose of Qian Heng's original longevity formula. His vision is far-reaching, and his layout stretches for decades.

There are indeed many wise men in the imperial court and the upper echelons of the Jianghu. They soon discovered his sinister purpose, so they tried their best to ban the longevity formula and tried to eliminate hidden dangers. Unfortunately, their efforts had little effect under the bright and dark conditions. The spread of the tactic was delayed for several months.

After confirming that there is a big force in the dark that is promoting the spread of the Longevity Art, a few smart people have gradually given up the ban, but changed their direction, and began to suppress disputes within the sphere of influence, trying to curb the growth of civilian warriors by reducing fighting.

Although this method cannot cure the root cause, it can be used to treat the symptoms. The growth of civilian warriors is limited to a certain extent. The birth of masters is not so fast, and the number is not so large. In a short period of time, there is not enough strength to compete with famous sects.

At the same time, the upper class of the rivers and lakes divides the common masters, absorbs some of the best common masters into the sect, provokes their relationship, and causes the common masters to split.

Under various measures, the crisis is delayed and contradictions are covered up, and the situation in the world will not change much in 20 years.

As for the more distant future, it is no longer something that the court and the big factions can consider.

But this is what would happen if Qian Heng didn't continue to make a move.

After returning to Qixingtang, he directly overturned the previous plan, and the number of trained warriors increased eight times from 80 to [-].

This is also the limit of the number of transfers in the Jiangnan area without affecting people's livelihood.

The 80 new off-the-job personnel are just seeds. When their training is over, most of these people will be scattered to various places in the south of the Yangtze River to continue to spread the development of martial arts.

In this mode, martial arts practitioners will grow stronger like a snowball, and finally reach the situation where everyone practices martial arts.

The [-] million people of Ming Dynasty all became warriors, and all of them became superhumans. The soil of martial arts civilization was unprecedentedly large. Unless the world restricted it, it would definitely be able to breed a higher level of martial arts civilization.

Even if the secrets of magicians cannot be obtained in the future, the wisdom of hundreds of millions of people will definitely be able to give birth to a new prosperous age of martial arts.

New gods, demons and warriors must also emerge at the historic moment in the prosperous age of martial arts, and even push martial arts to a higher level than magicians.

……

Qian Heng's cake is big and round, but in terms of implementation, the problems are very complicated.

However, there are only three main problems, one is the problem of manpower shortage, the other is the problem of governance, and finally there is the problem of cultivation methods.

The first is the problem of insufficient manpower.

Even after the expansion of the Order of the Phoenix, the number of people has only just exceeded [-]. Among them, there are only a few hundred people who can be called masters, and the rest can be called masters at best.

The martial arts of these warriors are mediocre, and many of the martial arts they have practiced are not high-level martial arts.

Moreover, most of them also have responsibilities. At most, a small part of them will be allocated to be teachers, no more than 2000 people. If too many are allocated, the normal operation of the Order of the Phoenix will be paralyzed.

Two thousand to 80, on average, one person has to teach 800 people, and at least half of these 800 people are illiterate or illiterate at all. This difficulty can be imagined.

Martial arts is not literature, if you can't learn it, you can't learn it. If you don't learn martial arts poorly, accidents will happen. If you practice five tuberculosis and seven injuries and lose your life, you are lucky.

In response to this problem, Qian Heng could only restrain his steps. On the one hand, he relaxed the income standard of the Order of the Phoenix again; Simple exercise, wait until the conditions are ripe, and then start formal teaching.

Solving the problem of shortage of manpower is the problem of governance.

This aspect is actually not urgent, but we must plan ahead. We cannot wait until the real reform is completed. If the old order is destroyed and the new order is not established, then we will only get into more trouble.

From the heart, Qian Heng didn't have the idea of ​​going to the Great Treasure. His initial idea was also the most fundamental, but he just wanted to see how a civilization that mainly focused on martial arts would develop.

The world before time travel did not have martial arts, only science and technology was the only thing, but martial arts in this world itself represented the most advanced productivity, and there was no reason not to use it.

Just like what he said to people, he developed a microscope not long after crossing, and found that the underlying rules of this martial arts world are different from those of his hometown.

Although there is not much difference at the real level except for martial arts, in any case, the quantum theory and relativity theory of the previous life cannot explain some phenomena in this life at the micro and macro levels, and there are fundamental differences between the two worlds.

The foundations of the world are different, and he will not accept certain theories he has learned as the truth, and think that the development of industry is the only way out.

Who knows whether martial arts is the ultimate truth?
In this process, he can also gain novel experiences logically and climb to the pinnacle of martial arts. Compared with imperial power and wealth, these are what he values ​​and looks forward to the most.

Since he does not plan to overthrow Daming, the next thing will become much easier.

The Order of the Phoenix only needs to defeat all the forces and people who stand in the way of the world's military deployment. When the court loses the support of the masters of the rivers and lakes, it naturally dare not seek its own death.

The current imperial court itself does not dare to provoke the powerful forces in the world. Officials and soldiers only dare to bully the common people. When the common people will fight in the future, the ruling power of the imperial court will only shrink further.

In the end, the Ming Dynasty will become like America, which has not been established for a long time. It is a typical small government. The court can do very limited things.

However, this does not mean that the country is weakened, but that the centralization of power has been weakened. In terms of strength alone, the strength of the Han people has reached an unprecedented peak, and even a single place can beat a country.

Everyone in the mainland practiced martial arts seriously, and the weak forces outside the region were easy to manipulate. Naturally, forces would expand outward and expand new living space. This kind of spontaneous motivation is more attractive than gold. It will spread all over the seven continents and four oceans.
