Chapter 2984 2986 [Martial arts in the world, only fast can not break]
Xiang Nan then quietly tried the "Sunflower Treasure".
For him, the first level of returning to the heart is not sad.
Because he had learned the internal strength of the Quanzhen School before, it has the effect of calming the mind. After he has successfully cultivated it, even if you are thunderbolt, lightning, water, and landslide, you will not be heard or seen at all.
That's why Quanzhen School's internal strength is called Taoist orthodox, and there is no danger of going crazy.
Guo Jing has learned a lot of peerless martial arts, but when laying the foundation for his daughter, he still uses the Quanzhen School's internal strength, which shows that this internal strength is really good.
Moreover, Xiang Nan himself knows "The Great Fa of Soul Removal", and can also hypnotize himself. In addition, there is a magic pestle hanging around his neck, which also has the effect of calming the mind.
Therefore, the first hurdle that others regard as a natural barrier, "Recovering the Heart and Returning to the Yuan", seems to Xiang Nan to be a smooth road, so he rushed over it in one fell swoop.
After passing the first level, the next practice is really not difficult.
Xiang Nan quickly practiced it, and after practicing, he found that his speed was at least twice as fast as before.
This is really scary.
You must know that his speed is already extremely fast. When he made a move, even masters like Miejue Shitai, Zishan Dragon King, and Twelve Treasure Tree Kings could hardly see his movements clearly.
As soon as the shadow flashed, he had already finished his shot. Now it's twice as fast, and I'm afraid they won't even be able to see the shadow. I felt something flash in front of my eyes, but I couldn't make out what it was.
The so-called martial arts in the world, everything is invincible, only speed can not be broken.
Whether it is "preemptive strike" or "late strike", it is essentially faster than the opponent.
Not to mention preemptive strikes, the competition is whoever strikes first.
The core of the latter is also "the last to come first".
In the battle of Juxianzhuang, Qiao Feng and Master Xuannan of Shaolin Temple confronted each other with Taizu's thirty-six long fists. The reason why Qiao Feng was able to perfectly restrain Xuannan was because his speed was twice as fast as his, so he was able to achieve "the last move first", and every move perfectly restrained Xuannan's moves.
The reason why Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji were able to bring Tai Chi and Tai Chi to the extreme is also because their own martial arts are extremely high and their speed is extremely fast.
Switched to Yin Liting and Yu Lianzhou, they obviously don't have that much advantage when they face Zhou Zhiruo, who has practiced "Nine Yin Manual Quick Edition" and is faster.
Therefore, "Sunflower Treasure" promotes the speed of people to the extreme, which is exactly the principle of martial arts.
In terms of the height of the realm, it is not inferior to the "Nine Yin Manual" and "Nine Yang Magic", and it can be called a treasured book of martial arts.
…
In the following time, besides practicing kung fu, Xiang Nan mainly manages the country.
He revised the country's governing slogan from "Expelling the Tartars, Restoring Our Lands" to "The world is one, the world is one."
He proposed a series of policies that benefit the country and the people, such as equalizing land, reducing taxes, promoting water conservancy, emphasizing education, punishing corrupt officials, and eliminating bullies, and vigorously promoted their implementation.
Although the reform is bound to face many resistances, Xiang Nan broke through the sea of swords and fires. If he is not afraid of life and death, why should he be afraid of resistance.
Moreover, he won the country's integrity, won the hearts of the people, and firmly held the army in his hands. The so-called political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, which is enough for him to face all resistance.
Therefore, under his vigorous promotion, the reform was implemented smoothly, the strength of the country became stronger and stronger, and the technology became more and more developed.
In the sixth year of Zhenwu, the imperial court sent troops again to pacify Mobei and Hexi Corridor.
This time there were not only long-range artillery, but also bursting machine guns, so they defeated Beiyuan in Mobei and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the Western Regions.
However, the Zhenwu Army's own losses were not large, and it can be said that it has achieved a complete victory.
The Zhenwu Army went west to fight against the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Facing the powerful firepower of the Zhenwu Army, they were also unable to support them, so they abandoned Ganzhou and Liangzhou and retreated to the Western Regions. Both armies won the victory.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan built cities in Liangzhou and Mobei respectively, using them as defensive fortresses to prevent the Mongols from rising again in Mobei.
After the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, King Zhenxiwu Jing, who was granted by the Yuan court before, led the leaders of various tribes in Tubo to come and ask for surrender, expressing their obedience.
Xiang Nan readily accepted, and awarded them the titles of Commander, Xuanfu Envoy, Dharma King, and Living Buddha respectively to show his win over.
…
In the same year, Zhou Zhiruo gave birth to a daughter.
The ministers of the court persuaded Xiang Nan to accept more concubines on the grounds that Xiang Nan had passed his thirties but still had no heirs, so as not to have no heirs in the future.
And Xiang Nan also knows that the emperor has no heirs, and the consequences are quite serious.
It seems that the Ming dynasty of the Ming Dynasty had no one to inherit the throne because of the death of his son, so the courtiers conspired to rebel.
Xiang Nan knew that he was in the prime of his youth and would live to be a hundred years old, but the courtiers would not think so.
No matter how loyal they are to the emperor, they all hope that Xiang Nan will establish an heir as soon as possible.
In this way, they can also place their bets in advance to ensure that they and their descendants will not lose their holy family and receive eternal favor.
Xiang Nan understands this little thought.
But he also knows that this is human nature and cannot be harshly criticized.
After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.
I can't be as undemanding and desireless as a saint, so how can I demand that my ministers always be loyal.
Therefore, he agreed to the request of his courtiers and ordered concubines to be selected from the whole country.
In order to avoid disturbing the people, Xiang Nan specially agreed that only the families of officials with rank five or above would participate in the concubine selection.
Officials of the fifth grade or above recommend women from their families who are over 16 years old and under 25 years old to enter the palace.
…
There are as many as 450 officials of the fifth rank and above. If each family elects a daughter, there are 450 people.
These 450 people will naturally have to be screened. Those who are not good-looking, have no talent, and are not smart, those officials dare not offer.
After these women went through several rounds of screening, the best of the best were finally selected, and the most perfect six were selected to enter the palace.
These six women are all outstanding talents. They are beautiful, intelligent, knowledgeable, well-versed in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knitting. They are all talented women.
Xiang Nan is naturally satisfied, but Zhou Zhiruo is a little unhappy.
Before Xiao Zhao and Zhao Min were enough to cause trouble, now there are six more people.
And the choice of concubine is every five years. At that time, it will really be that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves before die on the beach.
"Don't worry, you are always the empress of the palace, the mother of the world, no matter how many concubines there are, they are all your servants, and they must obey your orders. Talk to them if you are happy, and punish them if you are not happy " Xiang Nan persuaded, "Why bother to sulk with yourself."
Hearing what he said, Zhou Zhiruo was satisfied.
