Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 123 Martial Arts Master Yan Zhendong

"Chunjun, Asu, do you want to continue shopping or go back? If you're going back, I'll give you a ride. We can also meet Master Huang."

After a while, when they finished discussing the matter and drinking tea, Guan Shaoqing looked at the two of them and asked.

Upon hearing this, Yaca Su turned around and looked at Thirteenth Aunt for advice. After all, he was only sent by Huang Feihong to follow Thirteenth Aunt to run errands, so the decision must be made by Thirteenth Aunt.

"Then I'd like to trouble you, Marshal, to give us a ride. We've been strolling around for a while now, and it's time to go back."

Thirteenth Aunt smiled.

So the group got up and left the teahouse and got into the car.

"Drive to No. 34, Xin Street."

After Guan Shaoqing got in the car, he gave instructions directly to the guard driving the car, and Thirteenth Aunt followed Guan Shaoqing in and got in.

Yaca Su chose to sit in the back car. With his keen observation, he could see that Thirteenth Aunt had some feelings and affection for Guan Shaoqing, so he thought it would be better for him to be tactful and not get in the way.

As the car started.

Guan Shaoqing and Thirteenth Aunt sat side by side in the back seat of the car, and a faint fragrance from Thirteenth Aunt blew into Guan Shaoqing's nose.

"Young Marshal said earlier that he was going to start a newspaper. I wonder if he has ever thought about starting an industry." Thirteenth Aunt also took the initiative to ask Guan Shaoqing.

"Industry?" Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but become interested upon hearing this. "I've certainly thought about it. What does Miss Chunjun think?"

Aunt Thirteen smiled when she heard this.

"I heard that the young marshal also studied abroad. So he is not unfamiliar with the experiences abroad. What do you think is the biggest gap between my country and foreign countries, especially those Western countries?"

"Industrialization, modernization, and technology."

Guan Shaoqing gave the answer.

"Indeed, since Western countries experienced two industrial revolutions, their production has become increasingly industrialized, their societies have become increasingly modernized, and their lives have become increasingly technological. I believe the path forward for my country is to develop industry and catch up with Western countries as quickly as possible, so as to avoid being bullied by them."

"Since the Qing government closed its doors to the outside world, it has fallen far behind the world."

Speaking of this, Thirteenth Aunt couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Other countries in the world are constantly developing and progressing, but China, under the Qing government's policy of isolation, has remained stagnant. If we don't catch up, we will probably be bullied by these countries for the rest of our lives."

She has been living abroad for many years, so she has a deeper understanding of the development abroad.

Compared with China, Thirteenth Aunt feels that those Western countries that have undergone two consecutive industrial revolutions and China are like countries in two different eras. China is still in a backward feudal society, but those Western countries have entered a new era of industrialization.

Guan Shaoqing was surprised when he heard this. He never expected that a woman like Thirteenth Aunt would express such insights.

And what Thirteenth Aunt said is indeed correct. Nowadays, China's development is really far behind that of foreign countries, especially in industrialization. China must work hard to develop and catch up.

However, when we think about the original movie, Thirteenth Aunt helped Wong Fei-hung set up a factory to promote the industrialization of production, it can be seen that she is indeed a woman with a broad perspective.

"Miss Chunjun is right. Our country is lagging far behind the development of other countries. Their societies have already entered the industrialization and modernization, while we are still stuck in the backward feudal era."

But in this day and age, it is not so easy to develop industry in the country.

First of all, you must have sufficient strength, otherwise, the industry you establish will be destroyed by many people, whether at home or abroad. There is no need to say much about the domestic situation. The late Qing government is a bunch of Sima things. If they can't beat foreigners, they will definitely betray their own people. The foreign powers will certainly not want to see the rise of Chinese industry, and will definitely find ways to destroy it.

Therefore, if you want to develop industry in this era, it’s okay to make it small, but if you want to make it big, you must have sufficient self-protection capabilities.

The second point is that enough money is needed. Otherwise, without sufficient financial support, the industry will be difficult to continue.

This is also the reason why Guan Shaoqing has not developed industry since he traveled through time. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but the time is not yet ripe.

"But the industry needs to be developed, but the time is not yet ripe."

"So the young marshal is indeed planning to develop industry?"

Aunt Thirteen's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this. Although she was just a girl, she had lived abroad for many years and seen everything there, and she also had some ambition to return to China to develop industry and revitalize China.

And now Guan Shaoqing's words revealed his intention to develop industry, and he suddenly felt as if he had met a kindred spirit.

"I do have this idea, but I have to wait for a while."

"In that case, I've made some friends abroad over the years. If the young commander needs it, I can help him buy some equipment."

"Okay, then I'd like to thank Miss Chunjun in advance. If Miss Chunjun can really help me with the purchase, it would be a great help to me."

"."

If he could really purchase some industrial equipment from abroad, it would naturally be a good thing for Guan Shaoqing.

at this time.

The car stopped suddenly.

"what happened?"

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but look up and asked, and suddenly saw that the street ahead was full of people gathered, and they seemed to be looking at something.

"Young Marshal, there are a lot of people gathered ahead, blocking the way."

"Go down and have a look."

"Yes." Upon hearing the voice, the guard immediately opened the door and walked down.

"What are you doing? Can't you see you're blocking the way?"

The crowd gathered in front heard the sound and turned around to see guards with real guns and live ammunition approaching with a car parked behind. They immediately realized that it must be some important person and quickly retreated to both sides.

At this time, the figure of a shirtless middle-aged man with muscular body appeared in the retreating crowd.

He was performing a throat-breaking spear technique. The butt of the spear was held against the ground by the man, while the tip of the spear was stabbed in the man's throat and was being pushed forward by the man, causing it to bend continuously.

Grandmaster of external martial arts!

When Guan Shaoqing saw the man's figure clearly, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked, because he was actually a master of external martial arts, and his aura was nine times stronger than Wu Sandu. His cultivation had probably reached the middle stage of the master of external martial arts.

But how could such a martial arts master be reduced to performing on the streets?

Then, when Guan Shaoqing saw the man's specific appearance, he recognized his identity.

Yan Zhendong.

But this man is none other than Yan Zhendong, the martial artist who appeared in the first movie of Wong Fei-hung in the previous life and was able to fight with Wong Fei-hung without losing the upper hand for a short time. In the movie, Yan Zhendong is the only martial arts master who can fight with Wong Fei-hung without losing the upper hand for a short time.

Although Yan Zhendong was eventually defeated by Huang Feihong in the movie, his extraordinary strength can still be seen.

After all, Huang Feihong is a martial arts master, and he is not an ordinary martial arts master. Those who can fight with Huang Feihong for a short period of time without being defeated are at least martial arts masters of the same level.

However, such a martial arts master would actually fall to the point of performing on the streets.

Guan Shaoqing was quite curious and also wanted to recruit him. After all, he was a martial arts master. Moreover, from the movie, although Yan Zhendong was not a good person, he still had some conscience in his heart. It was just that for some reason he loved money so much that he could sell his conscience for money.

But Guan Shaoqing has no shortage of money.

If you could use money to buy a martial arts master's service.

Guan Shaoqing is absolutely 100% willing.

Thinking of this, Guan Shaoqing also pushed the door and got out of the car. When the guard was about to step forward and scold Yan Zhendong, he was stopped by Guan Shaoqing.

Seeing this, Thirteenth Aunt couldn't help but get out of the car out of curiosity and walked behind Guan Shaoqing, then watched Yan Zhendong use his throat to press against the tip of the spear, constantly bending and deforming the spear.

Finally, with a cracking sound, the spear was broken by Yan Zhendong's throat, but the skin on his throat where the gun tip was pressed was not broken at all.

"Clap clap-"

Upon seeing this, Guan Shaoqing took the lead in applauding, then took out dozens of dollars from his pocket and handed them to the guard.

"Send it to this master."

Yan Zhendong was surprised when he saw the money that Guan Shaoqing had ordered the guards to deliver, and he quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir."

"Don't be so polite. I just think you're a rare talent. This is the first time I've seen a martial arts master performing on the streets." Guan Shaoqing said with a smile.

Yan Zhendong's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He never expected that Guan Shaoqing could see through his cultivation level at a glance. Then, when he looked at Guan Shaoqing carefully and felt the unfathomable aura from Guan Shaoqing, Yan Zhendong couldn't help but be shocked.

"But it's a waste of talent for a martial arts master like you to be performing on the streets. Why don't you come and do something with me? I promise to pay you much more than what you would get from performing on the streets today, and I can also give you a status far superior to that of ordinary people."

"As long as you have the ability, I can give you wealth and glory."

Guan Shaoqing then started to recruit them directly.

Yan Zhendong was even more surprised when he heard this. Not only was Guan Shaoqing's strength unfathomable, but his identity was also obviously extraordinary.

However, Guan Shaoqing's recruitment also made Yan Zhendong tempted. After all, if Guan Shaoqing could really do what he said, then following Guan Shaoqing would be much better than his current exile as a street performer.

"I haven't asked for your name yet, sir."

At this time, Yan Zhendong finally couldn't help but look at Guan Shaoqing and asked with a bow.

"My name is Guan Shaoqing, you can also call me Shaoshuai."

Yan Zhendong was immediately shocked. How could he not know about the Young Marshal of East Guangdong?

"Come with me, I'll give you a hundred dollars a month, and there will be extra rewards for good performance. What do you think?"

"It is truly an honor for me to be appreciated by the Young Marshal, but to be honest, I am a wanted criminal by the imperial court. The Young Marshal is determined to recruit me."

"What have you done?"

"I killed an official in Tianjin. He wanted to humiliate my wife."

Yan Zhendong said truthfully that the reason he ended up in this situation was because he was wanted for killing an official in Tianjin, otherwise how could he, a dignified martial arts master, end up like this.

"If that's the case, then kill him. In Guangdong, I have the final say. Are you willing to follow me? If you follow me, I guarantee that no one from the imperial court will dare to touch you in Guangdong."

Guan Shaoqing said directly that for him, as long as Yan Zhendong was not committing a crime, there would be no big problem, and killing the official who wanted to humiliate his wife was not a manifestation of being a man.

After hearing this, Yan Zhendong no longer hesitated.

"Your subordinate Yan Zhendong greets the young commander!"
