Infinite Road Warrior Road

After Chen Tun's heavy and helpless explanation, everyone finally understood the inner worries of this powerful figure who ruled half of China.

The route Chen Tun took and the strategies he adopted basically followed the analysis and predictions that Saito had left him for China and the whole world—first, he played the fashionable banner of anti-imperialism, anti-feudalism, and nationalism at the right time, and joined the Kuomintang. Under the guise of the new warlord's coat, paralyzed, borrowed domestic and foreign forces, and survived in the cracks.He also abandoned overly radical and unrealistic slogans, devoted himself to the development of education, industry and agriculture, and trained troops to strengthen the military. At the same time, he secretly fostered the forces of workers and peasants and spread revolutionary ideas.After the wings are full, we will take advantage of retreating from the field to advance, lure the snake out of the hole, mobilize the workers and peasants to eliminate the old forces who are eager to usurp power through a military coup, form a revolutionary party, issue a revolutionary program, and launch a fierce land revolution from the bottom up. Disintegrate the local clan forces and pro-foreign comprador forces, and comprehensively eliminate the evils of the old era.In [-], he broke out a medium-intensity war with Japan in Northeast China with full preparations in advance. With the right time, place and people, he finally won a complete victory, uprooting Japan's forces in northern China, and taking advantage of the victory Zhiwei consolidated his rule, abolished most of the unequal treaties, secretly formed an alliance with the Soviet Union, and used the Western economic crisis to secretly communicate with the United States to vigorously introduce industrialization.

Now it is 800, Chen Tun has unified the north of the Yangtze River, including Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and northern China. The internal government orders in the control area are smooth, all industries are prosperous, and the output value of industry and agriculture has surpassed Japan in an all-round way. Although the navy is still inferior to Japan , but the size and strength of the army is more than three times that of Japan, and it is a proper Asian power.The Japanese full-scale war of aggression against China that broke out in history in [-] is now completely gone. Basically, unless Amaterasu came to lead the so-called [-] million gods to kill the Sea of ​​Japan, the ambitions of this generation of Little Japan probably have nothing. It is possible, but the Korean Peninsula that has been swallowed may be forced to spit it out again.

Chen Tun's achievements and prestige have reached a very high peak by transforming a country that is poor and weak, bullied by others, and the people are in dire straits. In normal history, it would be no problem to unify China. But now he only occupies half of the rivers and mountains north of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River and even Tibet are not under his control.

The reason lies precisely in those factors other than normal history that Saito cannot calculate based on historical knowledge.

The vast majority of Huaxia monks are on the side of the Nanjing government!Except for the Longhushan Tianshijiao, which was originally located in Jiangxi, many sects that were originally based in the north have also switched to the south. It is even more spared than the Tianshijiao who has been relatively detached!

The key reason is that Chen Tun's pragmatic line and hard-line style have touched too many interests of those traditional sects.Many Taoist and Buddhist temples are themselves the largest landlords, and their influence is rooted in folk clans, closely linked with the interests of the elites of the old era.Chen Tun wants to integrate people's hearts, promote equality for all, and promote the ideas of the industrial age. Naturally, it will also touch their ideological control. A fundamentally irreconcilable contradiction—the environmental pollution caused by Chen Tun's vigorous development of heavy industry will hinder them from practicing with the aura of heaven and earth to a certain extent!

Although Chen Tun was able to clearly realize their strength and made great concessions and preferential treatment to these people, it was difficult to satisfy their appetite.And Chen Tun's attempt to slowly integrate them into the government-controlled system is also considered by them to intend to annex them with government power.

Compared with the northern regime, the southern government seems to have no lower limit in terms of recruiting monks, and easily grants high officials, generous salaries and various privileges.As for the traditional culture and landscape environment, the southern government, which itself is composed of a large number of old-age elites and has no awareness of industrial development, naturally "protects" it in place.All in all, it is precisely because of the relative conservatism and backwardness of the south that the southern China under their rule retains a kind of "original ecology" that makes most monks feel comfortable and friendly.Many decadent rules of the old era that cannot be tolerated by the new regime in the north can also be tolerated to the greatest extent in the south.

For example, Yiguandao has attracted a large number of southern civil and military officials to join the teaching, and widely spread to the southern official circles a method of practicing "official authority" that takes advantage of the people's natural awe of officials. Those who practice "official prestige" deeply, naturally have a kind of invisible power to frighten people's hearts in every word and deed.And after the military officer has practiced, he is even more majestic, powerful and unparalleled. When facing a battle, he just hides behind and says "Brothers give me!" is enough to make his subordinates go through fire and water without hesitation.And this kind of method, in fact, is to let the people worship officials as officials and even gods, and follow the way of combining politics and religion.It is simply intolerable for the new regime in the north to instill a sense of equality for everyone, to suppress bureaucratic forces, and to treat officials as civil servants serving the people, so it is inevitable that Yiguandao will fall to the south in an all-round way.As for the tantric Buddhism in Tibet, which maintains the backward serf system, it is obviously not in the same pot as the new regime in the north.

Of course, there are also some monks from poor families who can sympathize with the sufferings of the people and who understand the righteousness of the country and the nation stand on the side of the northern regime, and Yimei is the leader among them. Even in terms of Tianshijiao, there are also a small number of monks such as Zhang Enbo, whom Wang Zongchao met once in Europe. Disciples come to vote.Coupled with a large number of martial arts masters brought out by Gao Xiang, who is a celestial being, Chen Tun will not be overwhelmingly crushed by the South in terms of extraordinary strength, but it is difficult to make progress.

In addition, there are still some monks with the attitude of "I will not be offended by others", and they do not help each other, and only care about cultivating behind closed doors. Shi Jian is one of them. He has left the religion and left without a trace.However, according to Chen Tun's estimation, if they had to choose to stand in line, these people would be more likely to choose the south.

Yimei once told Chen Tun: Since Emperor Qiongming completely cut off the way of heaven and hell, the barrier of Kyushu did not collapse all at once, but gradually weakened.In 20 years, the secrets of the heavens will also be disturbed by this, making people unable to see clearly the direction of the general trend of the world. The monks have no concerns about this for the time being, so it is inevitable to choose to stand on the side of the regime that can better protect their own interests.

Right now China is divided between the north and the south, the secular power in the north is strong and the extraordinary power is weak, while the south is the opposite, just maintaining a balance.In addition, the southern government also won the support of European, American and Japanese powers with a docile attitude of betraying national interests.For example, since Japan suffered setbacks in Northeast China, it focused its aggression on Southeast Asia, and the southern government strongly supported it.If necessary, it is possible to open the airspace and territorial waters, and even lend a way to transport troops to the Japanese.

Since most monks are unwilling to bear the karma of massacring mortals, it is possible for them to deter the north from recklessly fighting, but it is unlikely that they will cooperate with the southern government to attack the north.Moreover, the monks in the south originally had many sects, and there were many conflicts with each other. They also had conflicts and frictions with foreign religions that infiltrated China with the influence of southern compradors, and it was impossible to truly unite as one.

The mentality held by the ascetics and the archway they erected are just like Zhang Yuanfang who once threatened thousands of northern warships from crossing the river with one man and one sword: "The north and the south are originally a family. As long as each cultivates benevolent governance, the world will return to its heart, and China will naturally be unified. Why bother?" Recklessly resorting to war, so that brothers fight against each other, fratricide each other, only to be ridiculed by outsiders?"

For these monks, they are definitely not creating divisions, but preventing the North's ambitions from causing bloodshed. Not only is there nothing wrong with it, but it has great merits and virtues. Tens of thousands of poor people did not hesitate to risk their lives to cross the Yangtze River to the north through the southern government's blockade; they also ignored the fact that on the south side of the Yangtze River, foreign warships can still come and go freely and show off their might.In fact, the incident of northern warships crossing the river three years ago was caused by the fact that the southern marine police repeatedly crossed the line and shot and killed fleeing North Koreans, and the southern government sheltered foreign warships that fired artillery and provoked troubles on the north bank.After Zhang Yuanfang's flirty and sarcastic words reached Chen Tun's ears, his face turned livid with anger, but he was helpless for a while.

Although Zhang Yuanfang, who supports the southern monks, is the strongest in the early Yuanying stage, but he also has an older brother Zhang Yuanxu who entered the Yuanying stage earlier and has been unable to retreat. He may have cultivated to the middle Yuanying stage.In order to keep the high-level forces of the two sides as balanced as possible, Yimei also retreated more than a year ago to attack the quadruple thunder tribulation.

Since childhood, Yimei's family has been victimized by evil spirits driven by evil cultivators. Fortunately, the elder Maoshan at that time rescued him in time and survived.Therefore, he made a great wish since he was a child: "May the people in the world be free from all evil cultivators and evil ghosts!" Since then, he has traveled all over the world and saved countless people.This is also a way of practicing merit and virtue. It is not like "Inviting the Gods Dafa", which may cause the original heart to be lost, but the unity of knowledge and action, and the understanding of the original heart, which makes the gratitude and admiration of many rescued people unconsciously turn into The power of merit strengthens the primordial spirit.Therefore, although Yimei's aptitude ranks last among the four elders of Maoshan, but now he has been exposed to the four-fold thunder calamity earlier than Shi Jian.

In addition, in order to counter the monks in the south, Chen Tun concentrated his extraordinary power to form a "special department" to study various military industries against monks, and vigorously spread and developed martial arts among the military and the people.In addition to Wang Zongchao's wishes, it is also because people in the martial arts world are more secular than those in the monastic world, and are more constrained by the secular world, so they are easier to integrate into the government system.

However, he soon discovered the hidden danger of the large-scale spread of martial arts-the number of bloodshed incidents among the people increased greatly.Although he quickly curbed the spread of lethal martial arts among the people, implemented a series of registration and supervision of martial arts practitioners, and formulated strict laws and other measures, as a martial artist himself, he still had a keen foreboding based on his years of administrative experience. A bad sign of the series.

Compared with monks who maintain a certain degree of detachment, the cultivation of warriors itself requires actively participating in the world, accompanied by a lot of actual combat, and martial arts practitioners who do not bleed or hurt others can basically only achieve physical fitness, which is difficult It can be called a real warrior.In addition, even in northern China under Chen Tun’s rule, the situation of “the overall quality of the people is still very low” has not yet been reversed. Under such circumstances, full-scale martial arts practice is no different from the popularization of firearms in a low-quality country that is initially industrialized, but it is just a mess.

After several years of hard work, Chen Tun recruited most of the folk masters with an iron fist, and limited the actual combat martial arts to the military and police. In addition to the detailed military training materials and high-level martial arts cheats left by Wang Zongchao, plus Gao Xiang's pointers, this counts Over the years, twelve innate masters, including Jing Lin and others, have emerged in the military, and there are countless strong players below innate.However, among the twelve congenital masters, two have defected to the south so far, and one has been executed; there are also many defectors who are not congenital.

The first master who defected was originally a reckless and straightforward man. He was loyal to Chen Tun and made a lot of contributions. When the Japanese Shinto sect dispatched the Yata mirror to attack and kill him, this person was still Chen Tun's close guard. one.However, because of his lover's change of heart, this person shot and killed his empathetic lover and rival in love in a rage, and left them dead on the street.Chen Tun was furious when he heard this, and wanted to execute him according to the law, but this man said how much credit Lao Tzu has made for you, and as a majestic innate master, now you are going to execute Lao Tzu to death for a pair of adulterers and adulterers. What's fair about old love?He broke free from the shackles in the courtroom, braved the hail of bullets to break out of the siege, used lightness kung fu to cross the Yangtze River across the water, and fled to the south.After crossing the river, this person was reused in the south, like a fish in water, full of sensuality and pleasure. Once when he was racing in the downtown area, he was stopped by the traffic police with his gun drawn, and then he slapped the traffic police's head into a rotten watermelon under the pretext that his life was threatened. Let it go!

No.2 The congenital master who defected created a kind of insidious palm force similar to the "heart-destroying palm". Those who were hit by his palm force did not show any abnormalities within a few days, and did not die suddenly after seven days. No abnormality can be detected at all.He secretly eliminated dissidents for his official career, killed hundreds of people in the military and political circles, and before he finally failed, he realized that he had defected to the enemy.Now it is said that he has become one of the deputy directors of the Southern Military Command Bureau, assassinating countless political enemies and dissidents for the southern government.

No.3 The congenital master himself did not commit any crimes. Because his brother embezzled a huge amount of public funds, he pleaded with Chen Tun many times to no avail.This person was still obsessed with obsession and insisted on going his own way. Although he was outnumbered and killed, he shattered more than a dozen pillars with heavy palms before he died, causing more than half of the entire prison building to collapse, causing dozens of prison guards and prisoners who were unable to evacuate Became the funeral of the two brothers.

In fact, innate masters are enough to catch shells with bare hands or demolish buildings, and Chen Tun's reliance on conventional military force to restrain them is already beyond his capabilities.As for the celestial beings whose strength is far above the innate, and even Jindan, Nascent Soul monks, and Leijie ghost immortals, with the level of military strength in the ghost world in the 30s, there is no solution at all.Chen Tun only had a rough idea before, but now he witnessed the battle between Wang Zongchao and Gao Xiang, and he was deeply shocked.

"I can treat monks and warriors favorably: those who want profit, can guarantee them a lifetime of wealth; those who want power, let them take up important positions or have a false name; Wide publicity of achievements can also be discussed; those who are dedicated to the Tao, I can try my best to provide them with an environment and resources suitable for cultivation. But in any case, killing people pays for their lives, princes break the law and common people are guilty of the same crime, they cannot put themselves above the people Furthermore, we cannot enjoy hereditary privileges from generation to generation. Otherwise, what is the difference between the northern government I lead and the Manchu Qing imperial power that condoned Sakya’s wanton and reckless behavior?

But now it seems that regardless of monks or warriors, the old-fashioned political system in the south, where everyone is equal in name, high and low, and noble families enjoy privileges and passed down from generation to generation, is indeed more attractive to them.

With the power to surpass ordinary people, it is inevitable to put the status and interests of oneself, and even the status and interests of relatives, friends and disciples above the general public.If they continue to develop, they can completely form a privileged class ruled by the minority and difficult to be overthrown by the majority! "

When he said this, Chen Tun smiled wryly, and solemnly thanked all his subordinates who came with him: "You are all like-minded people who care about the interests of the people and the future of the country. Without you, China would not be where it is today. However, among all extraordinary groups, there are always only a small number of people who are as enlightened as you are. There is a saying that goes well: "There are individuals who betray their own class, but there is no class that betrays themselves." In terms of class nature, class In terms of profit, I really don't see the hope that the entire supernatural group will be on our side.

I trust you all, these words that have been accumulated in my heart for a long time, I might as well tell you frankly in front of the two masters.If you can't accept it, you can say goodbye to me at any time. I, Chen Tun, will only send you generous travel expenses and send you away with your family members. There will never be any embarrassment! "

Those who accompanied him to watch the battle were all staunch supporters of Chen Tun, so naturally they would not leave because of this, and immediately said they dared not.Jing Lin sighed, "I'm not as far-sighted as the Marshal. I'm really ashamed that I don't understand the Marshal's painstaking efforts. In this case, Jing Lin hopes that he will never be a heavenly man in his life."

Chen Tun smiled bitterly, and he also knew why he was so contradictory.People who are clearly loyal to their own revolutionary ideas want them not to be gods, but how can he restrict other people who have different opinions from others?

After a wry smile, Chen Tun said again: "I also know that there are Shinto Onmyojis in Japan, and Europe and the United States also have extraordinary forces such as the Holy See, wizards, and blood clans. They are surrounded by powerful enemies. It is really not allowed to limit China's extraordinary power and abolish martial arts. Maybe I should Properly abandon the ideals of the past, become the spokesperson for the interests of the extraordinary class, feed them with the fat of the people, turn a blind eye to some of their behaviors, and hope that they can become more enlightened, more cooperative, and no longer hinder social progress. The guns are open to the outside world, preying on outsiders like Europe, America, Japan and other countries, and passing the pain on to foreign people as much as possible."

Later, Chen Tun said sincerely to Wang Zongchao and Gao Xiang: "The two masters are both high-minded and upright people. I have confidence in the character of this master, but it does not mean that I have confidence in the character of all gods and humans in the future. If the future betrays the three masters of heaven and man instead of the three innate masters, then China will not only be destroyed. One or two buildings, but one or two cities...

Perhaps Tuer is also short-sighted, and the structure is too small to accommodate others; or maybe Tuer is obsessed with power and does not want others to divide my power. After all, I have been in power for nearly 20 years and have never implemented universal suffrage. Those who dare, there are many criticisms in the north, and it is not wrong to scold... However, in any case, with my current rudimentary knowledge, I am not happy to see China adding heaven and man..."

Chen Tun was agitated, and his speech was unavoidably a little logical.Gao Xiang could only smile awkwardly when he heard the words, and was speechless for a while.He is bold and upright by nature, with a deep sense of loyalty, and he is quite concerned about the honor and disgrace of the country. Although he became a bandit in the early years because of the decay of the court and the poor people, he can also be called a righteous thief and never plunders the good.But he asked himself: If one day he accidentally killed someone or his relatives and friends committed heinous crimes, I am afraid that he would not be able to obey the law honestly or just sit and watch his relatives and friends punish him.Putting one's own interests and the interests of relatives and friends above others is not only possessed by heavenly beings, but is a common feeling shared by most people, and only heavenly beings have the power to realize it.He is not a saint, and he will inevitably have selfishness after all.Chen Tun's words were so heartbreaking that he really had nothing to say.

When he said this, Chen Tun leaned down and knelt down to Wang Zongchao again, "My martial arts, my achievements and even my own life are all thanks to my master. If the master thinks that my disciple is disobedient, just take everything back, and my disciple will never be punished." complaints..."

At this moment, Wang Zongchao raised his hand to stop him, a faint but irresistible vigor stopped Chen Tun from kneeling.

Jing Lin and the others felt their hearts tense. It is normal for others not to accept Chen Tun's kneeling and worshiping.But Wang Zongchao is actually Chen Tun's mentor, and the master is not allowed to bow down by his apprentices, which actually implies the meaning of expelling the other party from the teacher's school.

Alice watched quietly not far away. She admired what Chen Tun said, but she also understood Wang Zongchao's character and knew that he would never do anything to this apprentice.

I just heard Wang Zongchao ask: "You vigorously develop education and build countless schools. In every school, do students need to kneel to the teacher?"

"Oh, that's not necessary, just bow and say hello." Chen Tun was startled, subconsciously replied.

"Then since it's a new era, everything should follow the etiquette of the new era. You intend to create a leader of the new era, so why bother to kneel down as usual?" Wang Zongchao's words didn't sound like they meant to expel Chen Tun from the school, Jing Lin and others People are slightly relieved.

Wang Zongchao then said: "You can confess this to me, which shows that you have always stood on the side of the common people, never forgot your roots, and never succumbed to the powerful. I appreciate this very much. But you are limited in your vision, and you don't know the mysteries at home and abroad. They do not understand the background of the power, nor do they understand the development trend of history.

You know that the power of the Western Holy See is not limited to the power on the surface.All over the world, there are still many ancient gods lurking with supernatural powers far surpassing Chinese monks. Cairo was destroyed 12 years ago. A thousand-year-old mummy who received the grace of Anubis.As the Kyushu barrier gradually fails, why do you resist them?Did you ever know that in mainland China, and in the Qin Dynasty, the ancestor dragon may wake up at any time and return to the world from the nether world with thousands of Qin army cavalry? "

Chen Tun heard the cold sweat falling down, and said astringently: "I am stupid..."

"Everyone has their own position and prejudice. What I say is based on what I have seen and heard. You don't have to accept it all." Wang Zongchao waved his hand. In fact, he still has a lot of things that cannot be explained by the rules: a world has The high-end combat power at the level of heaven and man is of great significance for resisting reckless invaders or reincarnation.Just like the biochemical world, a Nanyang team that is at most only a second-line combat force has put the human beings in that world in danger of extinction.In the world of ghosts and gods, even if the demon team enters, there are many scruples. According to the reminder of the main god, there are still reincarnations from the Xihai team in this world, but there are no major changes because of this. The difference in high-end power.Of course, high-end power also has two sides. In addition to resisting foreign enemies, it is also cruel to be used for internal suppression or power struggle. In the world of "Legend of the Son of Heaven", as long as there is King Zhou alone, even if there are millions of troops in the Western Zhou Dynasty, all of them can be controlled by one person. Killing, and using the "Heavenly Demon Art" to kill more and become stronger. In such a world, even if ordinary people unite, there is no possibility of controlling their own destiny. Everything is decided by a few high-end powerhouses.Chen Tun's worries about high-end power are not unfounded.

Moreover, the problem in the world of ghosts and gods is that the secular technological power is too weak to effectively check and balance the high-end power for the time being.If it was the X-Men world, even a fourth-level mutant whose strength was close to that of a celestial being would have to have great concerns in his actions.

After a pause, Wang Zongchao said again: "Actually, to become a celestial being, qualifications, understanding, perseverance, chance, luck, and accumulation of inheritance are all indispensable. It is ten times more difficult to break through to a celestial being innately than to break through to innate in the day after tomorrow. Even if all the people in China practice martial arts from today, and the celestial and human skills are widely spread, within a hundred years, there may be only a handful of people who will become celestial beings.

Of course, what you said is also true. Practicing martial arts by the whole people cannot be underestimated;

So you are right to curb the spread of fierce martial arts among the people. Next, I will prepare a few sets of simple and easy-to-learn exercises for you that can help you strengthen your body, heal your wounds and strengthen your body, eliminate toxins and diseases, and cultivate your mind and character.These skills don't have much lethality, but they can become the basis of any martial arts, which does not prevent you from further conscription and selection of talents, and training suitable people to practice martial arts.

Not only that, I can also create a set of exercises for you that can only be practiced successfully if you follow the corresponding revolutionary ideas. If you abandon the ideas, you will probably go crazy? "

Chen Tun's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he murmured: "Is it really so magical?"

Wang Zongchao nodded indifferently. In fact, this is Fengyun World's mind-type martial arts, just like the nameless "Heavenly Sword" way. If you kill rashly, your strength will inevitably plummet, and you will even go crazy.With his current cultivation base, as long as he can appreciate and experience the corresponding beliefs, he can also create things like "Glorious Fingers of the Proletariat" and "Progressive Kicks on the Wheel of History".

"Moreover, do you know that within ten years, a terrifying weapon capable of killing heaven and man and destroying cities and lands will be developed. If you follow Mr. Qi's suggestion, sooner or later you will be able to master this weapon At that time, ordinary people will have no shortage of checks and balances against heaven and man." When Wang Zongchao said this, he took the "War God Bracelet" in his hand, and said: "As for me, I can provide another check and balance. Regardless of How, I can guarantee that in the future, no celestial being will be able to act recklessly and treat the people as nothing."

Chen Tun let out a long breath, with a smile on his face: "From what Master said, most of my worries have gone away."

Wang Zongchao shook his head: "Don't take it too easy. In the future, how to coordinate and balance the rights and interests of monks, warriors and ordinary people, how to integrate the strength of both parties, and how to make both parties satisfied are all things that need to be resolved by you. I and Lao Qi I can’t give you any advice, you can only rely on yourself to explore. Caught between the two, a slight mistake may cause your body to be crushed and your reputation ruined, you must have a corresponding awareness.”

Chen Tun smiled indifferently. He had already realized enough. He didn't need to make a big statement at this time. He just replied calmly: "Although I have little knowledge, if I don't take some responsibility, I can't go all the way to the present. Now please ask Master just teach martial arts."

"To learn my martial arts, you must abide by my agreement." Wang Zongchao said to Jing Lin and the others, and at the same time turned the "War God Bracelet", and in the flow of golden lights, the relevant words of "War God Three Pacts" appeared one by one out of thin air , Brewing an invisible sense of deterrence.

"Oh, that's right!" Wang Zongchao suddenly remembered something, and asked Chen Tun: "Tell me the skills, names and appearance of the two people who defected, and when I have time to go south, I will clean up the house."

Chen Tun shook his head: "Master Gao also wanted to take care of those two people. But one of them was in the military command, and his whereabouts were hidden; Although this person is not difficult, if a conflict breaks out with Zhang Yuanfang in Nanjing, I am afraid that many innocent people will be affected, and it will be too dangerous for Master."

"The Nanjing side obviously regards the two of them as a thousand dollars to buy bones. If you don't kill them, you will be two good examples for those who have different ideas!" Wang Zongchao raised his head and looked at the southern sky, and smiled coldly: "Don't worry, let's clarify their merits." Innate fighters with magical characteristics cannot escape my induction. And if I don't want to fight, I will definitely not be able to fight."

(To be continued)
