Chivalry Cultivation System

Chapter 541 Chapter 542

Xiong Yanbi was in charge of Liaodong, and Mao Wenlong belonged to Li Chengliang's lineage, so he was naturally very unpopular. With the strong support of Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, he ran Dongjiang Town like an iron bucket and hit Houjin many times.

It is a pity that he was killed by Yuan Chonghuan in Shuangdao. It is said that Mao Wenlong was killed, and Huang Taiji and others launched a national celebration. It can be seen how much threat Mao Wenlong's existence poses to Hou Jin!
Now that Mao Wenlong is my sworn brother, even if Yuan Chonghuan can take the position of Ji Liao Jinglue in the future, if he wants to kill Mao Wenlong, he must ask me, right?
Xiao Xiaomo was overjoyed, as if he had found a treasure, and was determined to protect Mao Wenlong.

He smiled at the moment and said: "A person with lofty ideals, the future is limitless. Maybe in the future you will be bigger than us brothers! Brother Mao, you are from Zhejiang Province, why did you come to Liaodong?"

Mao Wenlong said: "My younger brother has an uncle surnamed Shen. Seeing that I had just grown up, she sought a job for me from a nobleman in the court. After the nobleman's great help, the court finally recommended me to Li Chengliang, Liaodong General Soldier and Uncle Ningyuan. Old General Li's tent... No, before I arrived at Ningyuan City, I was ambushed by bandits on the way, fortunately, my third brother rescued me, otherwise I might have failed my uncle!"

Note:
On February 1576, 2 (the eleventh day of the first month of the fourth year of Wanli), Mao Wenlong was born in Zhongxiao Lane, Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province.My grandfather, Mao Yushan, originally ran official salt in Shanxi, but later moved his family to Hangzhou due to business needs.

His father, Mao Wei, abandoned business and followed Confucianism, took donations as a supervisor, and married his wife Shen.The Shen family is a prominent family in Hangzhou, known as "Hangzhou Jia family, Shen is the most".Mao Wei and Shen had four sons together, the third son died, and the rest were the eldest son Mao Wenlong, the second son Mao Zhonglong, and the fourth son Mao Yunlong.

When Mao Wenlong was nine years old, Mao Wei died of illness. His mother was 26 years old and lived with her younger brother Shen Guangzuo.

Shen Guangzuo was a famous eunuch in Hangzhou, a Jinshi in Yimo in Wanli, a Tuiguan of Kaifeng Prefecture, a governor of Shandong Province, and Yin of Shuntian Prefecture[3]. After Mao Wenlong joined the army, he was supported and recommended by this uncle.

In 1605 (the spring of the 33rd year of Wanli), Mao Wenlong adopted Mao Dechun, his uncle in Anshan, Liaodong, as his heir, so he went north alone, and first visited his uncle Shen Guangzuo in Beijing. career.

At that time, Nurhachi continued to annex Jurchen tribes, and the situation in Liaodong became increasingly tense. Mao Wenlong paid more attention to the situation of mountains and rivers and the enemy's situation. In September of the same year, he took part in the military examination in Liaodong. Soon he was promoted to general manager, and in 1608 (the 36th year of Wanli), he was promoted to the garrison of Kuiyang.

For the convenience of story connection, this book changes the time when Mao Wenlong surrendered to Li Chengliang to the autumn of 1602, three years earlier than the historical 1605.

Xiao Xiaomo weighed the seriousness of the matter a little, and immediately said: "Brother and Uncle Ning Yuan, Li Chengliang, Old General Li, are old, and now brother, your leg is injured again, why don't you let me accompany you to see Uncle Ning Yuan?"

Although Mao Wenlong is only in his early twenties, he is sophisticated and knows that in this era when honest officials are gradually dying out, if you don't have contacts and backing, even if you have great abilities, it is impossible to stand out.

Since my third brother has a friendship with Uncle Ning Yuan, it might not be a bad thing to let him take me to see Li Chengliang!
So he readily agreed to Xiao Xiaomo's request.

Xiao Xiaomo's medical skills are amazing. After his treatment, Mao Wenlong's leg injury was no longer serious while riding a horse.

So, the two of them rode together and rode slowly towards Ningyuan City.

Because it was Xu Xing, it took half a day to arrive at Ningyuan City. At dusk, the two entered Li's residence.

Li Chengliang's family was naturally overjoyed that Xiao Xiaomo had left and returned, and welcomed the two of them into the main hall of the residence with great enthusiasm.

Xiao Xiaomo told about his sworn brotherhood with Mao Wenlong verbatim, and then Mao Wenlong knelt down and presented a letter of recommendation to Li Chengliang. After reading the letter, Li Chengliang said: "Since Brother Mao is Xiao Daxia's brother-in-law, then this matter will be easy to handle." That's it. Brother Mao, your leg is inconvenient, so why don't you just sit in the chair and punch me?"

Xiao Xiaomo knew that Li Chengliang was testing Mao Wenlong's martial arts, so he couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat for Mao Wenlong.I also admire Li Chengliang's impartiality to others.

In the formal selection of officials in ancient times, most of them had certain requirements on the virtues and talents of the candidates.

Much easier?It means that since Mao Wenlong is my sworn brother, as the saying goes, Mao Wenlong's virtue and character will not be any worse.The level of virtue is finally on the passing line. The key is to see whether Wenlong's martial arts is up to the task!

So he said, "Brother Mao, why don't you just show off your hands and let us open our eyes?"

Mao Wenlong responded and did a set of boxing moves while sitting on the chair.

This set of punches is strong and powerful, the punches are like the wind, and they are extremely fierce. The most ingenious thing is the perfect fusion of offensive and defensive forces, which is suitable for single combat. His last punch lightly hit the coffee table in front of him. Instead, the coffee table and teacups in front of Xiao Xiaomo and the others were beating endlessly, but when Mao Wenlong retracted his fist, the teacups stopped beating immediately.

Surprise was revealed on everyone's face, and Xiao Xiaomo's face was even more joyful, and he secretly said: "In the recent battle, if the bandits hadn't shot cold arrows, this set of boxing techniques alone would have easily subdued the group Bandit."

Li Chengliang asked: "Brother Mao, your boxing method is novel and rigorous, or is it that I have never seen it before because I am closed to hearing? Could it be that Brother Mao created it himself?"

Anyone who can create his own martial arts has peerless qualifications. No wonder Mao Wenlong later achieved great success!

Mao Wenlong blushed a little and said: "This set of boxing method is called Qiqiao Shenquan, and the latter style of passing through objects calls for the strength of fighting cattle across the mountain. The exercise was obtained by chance, and Qiqiao Shenquan was developed by me. It was because I knew this boxing technique that my uncle agreed to recommend me to the imperial court!"

Li Chengliang received the confirmation and said with satisfaction: "You are a person of great use, and your future achievements will be limitless. I accept it! There is a very difficult thing at the moment and no one can be found to do it! I have decided to send you to complete this task. .Everyone follow me to the study to discuss matters, and the rest go away!"

Li Chengliang's study.

Xiao Xiaomo, Mao Wenlong and Li Chengliang's nine sons and one grandson, Li Ruomei, all arrived.

Seeing that everyone was already seated, Li Chengliang said, "What I want to say is that we will abandon the Six Forts of Liaozuo. Do you have any objections?"

Xiao Xiaomo said: "Everyone in Liao knows that 30 years ago, Wang Daokun, the minister of the Ministry of War, came to Liaodong to inspect the border. General Li offered a suggestion to relocate Gushan Fort to Zhangqihaladian, Danshan Fort to Kuandian, and Xin'an along the river. The four fortresses were moved to Changdian and Changling, and they were still guarded by Gushan and Dangerous Mountain..."
