Chapter 1575 New Martial Arts World
This world is becoming less and less like the martial arts world. What is going on with this pioneering atmosphere of the Age of Exploration?
The scope of the martial arts world is expanding, and warriors are also joining the trend of pioneering, leaving their hometowns to go to new worlds. And what they bring with them is not only martial arts but also a new martial arts world.
While Wang Bao and his team were working hard to open up the islands, the warriors of the Ming Dynasty also traveled to all parts of the world with the ships.
Fighting with samurai in Fusang and fighting with knights in the Western Regions, the warriors tried hard to find their own residences with their own thoughts.
The alliance of the six major sects was finally dissolved, because the Kongtong Sect finally decided to transform and no longer promote martial arts, and completely became a trading company.
In fact, not only the Kongtong Sect, but also many martial arts forces have transformed into companies, including the Black Cliff Maritime Trading Company.
"The sea laughs, the tides on both sides are surging..." On the sea, bursts of hearty singing came from the cabin of the Sunrise East.
Two old men played the piano and sang, one was Qu Yang of the Sun and Moon Sect, and the other was Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect. They were enjoying their retirement life comfortably.
Good and evil cannot coexist has become history. Now even the sects are aligned with interests. Although the Sun Moon Sect is not a formal martial arts sect, it owns the precious land of Black Wood Cliff, and Ren Woxing has a precise vision and accurately seized the opportunity to set up a company and buy ships to do maritime business, making a lot of money.
Qu Yang is the guardian of the Sun Moon Sect, but he is old and has now retired and devoted himself to music.
"Grandpa, you sing so well." A girl in her teens clapped her hands happily. She is Qu Yang's granddaughter Qu Feiyan, who is fourteen years old this year.
"Haha, singing a song on the sea is really a different experience."
"Away from the world, I feel relaxed. It would be a pity if I didn't go to sea in this life."
Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng talked to each other, and they were like a friend who knows each other. They are also going to immigrate.
Because there are too many commercial competitions on the mainland, and they know the business secrets of their respective sects, it is better to stay away. Although there is no distinction between good and evil, the business world of intrigue is even more cruel.
Especially now that the legal system of the Ming Dynasty is not sound, murder and robbery often occur. In order to strike down competitors, they will do anything, and the hands of the Sun and Moon Sect are not clean.
The Sunrise East cuts through the waves. It is the latest treasure ship researched and built by the Ming Dynasty Shipyard. It has the world's largest carrying capacity. Heimu Cliff spent a lot of money to order such a ship.
The destination is already in sight, and the lookout on the mast has seen the horizon.
This time they are going to the treasure island. Since the treasure island returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it has shown a vital position. Almost all the sea ships heading south will stop to replenish resources.
Moreover, the treasure island has been developing industry and has a prosperous economy. It is called the pearl of the Ming Dynasty.
"Grandpa, we are finally here." Qu Feiyan was very excited. She had heard about the beauty of the treasure island a long time ago, and today she can finally see it.
However, when they arrived at the port, they found a flag erected in a conspicuous place at the port, with three words on it: Qingcheng Sect.
The Qingcheng Sect, which can be called the weakest sect in the original novel, has developed very well in this world. Although its martial arts value is still not high and there are no outstanding masters, it is good at marketing and has made the Qingcheng Sect a well-known brand.
Martial arts training classes in Qingcheng are blooming everywhere. It can be said that a large part of the reason is that the martial arts of the Qingcheng Sect are not profound. Although it cannot produce masters, it is easy to get started. Even if ordinary people practice martial arts, they just want to strengthen their bodies, not to become masters. The Qingcheng Sect is most suitable for them.
The martial arts world is different in this era. In the past, the level of martial arts was ranked, but now it is ranked by performance. The Qingcheng Sect may have been laughed at by the major sects in the past, but now it is the object of envy.
"I didn't expect that the Qingcheng Sect has already arrived in the treasure island. The action is really fast."
"Their martial arts are third-rate, but the publicity is first-rate. Even the head of the Qingcheng Sect himself admits it." Liu Zhengfeng is from the Hengshan Sect and is familiar with the situation of the major sects.
"I know the 'butt backwards flat sand falling wild goose style'." Qu Feiyan said. In fact, she didn't know who spread it. Anyway, everyone knew that the Qingcheng Sect had this move and it became famous.
With a big reputation, there are more people who criticize it. However, this can't stop the rise of the Qingcheng Sect at all, and the reason for its rise is entirely because of the 'immortals helping me'.
The so-called immortals helping me means that the Qingcheng Sect originally had no advantages, but one day the leader met an immortal, and the immortal's hand was placed on his forehead. He instantly understood everything, and then promoted it according to the immortal's instructions, and successfully built the Qingcheng Sect into a nationwide chain of martial arts training classes.
As for whether he really met an immortal, no one knows.
Everyone scoffed at this rumor and just thought that the leader of Qingcheng was talking nonsense.
There was no immortal, but there was Duran. This idea was indeed helped by Duran. At that time, Duran was taking a walk and saw the leader of the Qingchun Sect hanged himself because of the depression of the sect. Duran was kind enough to come up with an idea.
Zhang Sanfeng did not die of old age, but traveled away and never returned to Wudang. Now Zhang Sanfeng's tablet is still placed at the highest point of Wudang Mountain.
Because of Zhang Wuji, Wudang Mountain is now very popular. Of course, because of Zhang Wuji, all the businesses in Wudang Mountain are now state-owned. In order to avoid suspicion, the Taoists no longer participate in the business and just live on the money from the incense.
The Ming Cult had bad luck. Zhang Wuji had been dismantling the Ming Cult for several years before he ascended the throne. In the end, even the Holy Fire Order was melted by Zhang Wuji and made into a souvenir.
All the original departments of the Ming Cult were also abolished. Of course, Zhang Wuji was in good health and young, so he was not afraid of anyone threatening his position, so he did not kill the meritorious officials. As long as these meritorious officials did not break the law and discipline, there would be a good result.
For example, Yang Xiao died of old age and was named Xiaoyao Hou after his death.
Wei Yixiao and others were also high-ranking officials and enjoyed the good fruits of the successful rebellion.
Although the country of Daming is still the Ming Dynasty, it is very different from the original Ming Dynasty. After Zhang Wuji became the emperor, his ambition also expanded and he also wanted to become the emperor of the ages.
Now there is a world map hanging in Zhang Wuji's study, which shows the divisions of various countries, and Zhang Wuji always keeps an eye on the part of the South China Sea.
Now the flag of Daming is only one step away from being planted in India. Zhang Wuji is not in a hurry. Instead, he hopes to trade with other countries as soon as possible. Daming's production capacity is almost oversupplied.
"India." This is a rich place. In this era without improved seeds, India's grain production accounts for one-third of the world's grain.
In the rich areas of India, farmers will not starve to death even if they lie down. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the population has steadily increased, and importing grain has become a top priority. Therefore, the route to India must be opened up: "Announce Dongfang Bubai!"
At this time, Zhang Wuji said a shocking name.
Dongfang Bubai still practiced the "Sunflower Manual", but he himself was a eunuch and had nothing to do with the Sun Moon Sect. Dongfang Bubai is Zhang Wuji's Sanbao eunuch, just with the same name as the character in the novel.
