Please ask me to be the emperor

Chen Changzhen joined Zhang Shun's command and temporarily served as the chief martial arts instructor of Zhang Shun's three armies. Zhang Shun, in line with the principle that talents should not be wasted, asked him for advice: "I see that you are highly skilled in martial arts, but the generals under my command have only their talents and not their abilities. Each one has its own strengths and weaknesses."

"Wukong has great martial arts skills but cannot be taught; Zhang Sanbaili can draw a bow of 300 kilograms but cannot shoot; Ma Yingniang has superb riding skills but cannot fight; Zhang Wuhao is a talented person; Liu Yinggui and Zhao Lizi are young but have no skills. Qing Why teach me?"

Chen Changzhen thought for a moment and replied: "My disciple is highly skilled in martial arts and has infinite strength. Changzhen has never heard of it. How can a king be no more powerful than a general like Li? However, since ancient times, we have only heard of knights coming and going on battle formations." He was galloping, but he didn't hear the generals on foot. The thousands of troops were easy to defeat, so Dian Wei was killed by the rebel army. He was a general, and all he needed was riding."

Zhang Shun couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. Wukong was not good at riding horses, but that was a major flaw. He needed to be urged to practice more often.

"Those who have three hundred husbands are those who have been approved by Zhang Dian. Then we heard that he was not good at martial arts, but he was a talent. He should learn to ride, shoot, sword and spear. If he wants to, I can teach him. I am good at riding, shooting, spear, Skills such as broadswords, swords, guns, swords and sticks can be chosen by the person.”

"Ma Yingniang's riding skills are superb, which is beyond my reach. But are those of the female stream interested in fighting? If they are interested, they can learn to use double swords and spears. If they are weak, they can use spears even if they have little strength. As the saying goes: a gun is like a waistlock, and it can only kill people with the strength of four or two. Furthermore, the double sword looks fancy, but it is easy to learn and practice. It is best to fight with more and less, and it is best to fight in groups. I am the best among others, and I can do it too Whether you teach a person or not, it all depends on your practice."

Zhang Shun was overjoyed after hearing this and sent people to recruit Zhang Sanbai, Zhang Wuhao, Liu Yinggui, Zhao Lizi and others to come and learn the art. As for Ma Yingniang, let's look back at her own thoughts. After all, even if future generations say "war makes women go away," in this era it is indeed too much to force a delicate little girl to charge into battle.

Before they arrived, Chen Changzhen said to Zhang Shun again: "In addition, my lord, I have something to say, should I say it?"

“I don’t know what to say and what not to say, but what should be said.”

"My lord, as the leader of an army with a body of ten thousand chariots, you should practice martial arts just in case." Chen Changzhen admonished.

"Oh? In my opinion, what kind of art is best for me to practice?" Zhang Shun asked quickly.

"I wonder what my lord is good at?"

"I have only practiced the stick technique, and it is said that he is an authentic Shaolin practitioner."

"Can you act it?"

"Yes!" Zhang Shunsui rehearsed. At this time, everyone has arrived and is waiting in front of them. When they see their lord performing martial arts, they all watch there.

After Chen Changzheng finished observing, he said to him: "These thirty-six Shaolin sticks are passed down by Yu Dayou, and they are indeed authentic."

"The method is a mixture of Jingchu's long sword, stick, spear and long knife skills. However, it is not a fighting art in itself, but an art of martial arts. If the lord is interested in the skills of long sword, long spear and long knife, he should Can be mastered easily.”

"However, Changshi has a suggestion. The long sword is not a battlefield technique, and the spear requires several years of practice. Although the long sword is good, it is inconvenient to carry. The lord has the ape-like arms and the waist of a wasp, but he is the perfect combination of two swords and two maces. I don't know my lord. What do you think? In addition, both swords, spears, swords and halberds are the art of battle formation and are not necessary for the master. The only thing the master needs is riding skill, which is very important. If you have this skill, the strong will chase the enemy, and the weak will chase the enemy. Then it is essential to avoid strong enemies."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he understood what Chen Changzhen meant. One is that he has long arms above his knees and uses dual-wielding weapons. Compared with other weapons, he can better take advantage of his long arms. What's more, two-handed weapons are easy to learn and practice. This is probably why Uncle Liu used a double-pronged sword in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The other one said that he needed to practice his riding skills well so that if he won a battle in the future, he could follow the command and pursue him; if he suffered a defeat, he could "grease his feet" and escape in time.

Zhang Shun thought about it and realized that learning to ride a horse was something he had planned to do, so there was no problem. What's more, the great men of later generations have said, "Fight if you can, and run if you can't." There is no shame in running away. As for learning equipment, he was a little undecided. He had never practiced dual-wielding weapons before and his foundation was poor. Why not use two-handed weapons? He didn't know if he could use them well.

Zhang Shun hesitated for a while. Seeing this, Chen Changzhen couldn't help but persuade him: "Actually, my lord, you don't have to be in a hurry to choose. I have a skill. My lord can learn it by himself. In the future, you can use either double swords or double maces."

"The name of this method is the Double Pout. It is made of four feet and nine inches of solid wood. It is thin at the front and thick at the back. The tip of the pout is decorated with horns of cattle and sheep. This method can be used to hit, hang, split, point, tease, and stab. You can practice all the skills of both hands in the world. When the time comes, the lord can use whatever weapon he wants to use."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he understood in his heart that this so-called pout was just a simple form of a simple sword, whip, and mace, so he decided to learn riding skills first. So, Zhang asked him to continue to guide others.

At this time, Wukong came forward with an iron rod. Chen Changzhen wanted to borrow it for a look, but Wukong was not willing to give it to him. He just said: "My Dinghaishen needle iron is a treasure of the immortal family. If you think it's bad, will you be compensated?"

"Wukong, let him see. This is Emperor Guan Sheng descending to earth." Zhang Shun had no choice but to pull Wukong and whisper.

"Okay, let me take a look at it, don't touch it," the monkey Qian Dingzhuwan warned.

"How could it be? Ouch!" Chen Changzhen was so surprised that he almost lost his grip and couldn't help asking, "Is this really thirty-six pounds?"

"Guaranteed replacement if fake!" Zhang Shun also replied somewhat proudly.

"It's awesome. The ancients often said that Emperor Guan Sheng used a sword that weighed eighty-two pounds. I always thought that it was beyond human power. It is said that the eighty-two pounds in ancient times is equal to thirty-four pounds today. Your Excellency actually has more weapons than Emperor Guan. It's still two pounds heavier, I admire you!" Chen Changzhen was convinced. He originally thought he could be a "Guan Sheng Emperor", but who knew that "Uncle Liu Huang" was already protected by a "Guan Sheng Emperor".

"You are just a gatekeeper, how can you recognize me?" Wukong said proudly.

"Don't be rude! Wukong." Zhang Shun scolded him quickly when he saw that this guy was talking nonsense again. It turns out that in Journey to the West, the Holy Emperor Guan was just one of the four great generals under the command of King Guangmu of Nantianmen, Zhao Wenguan. He had a low status, so Wukong looked down upon him. In addition, Chen Changzhen's so-called weight conversion between ancient and modern times also made Zhang Shun dumbfounded. Where did the Qinglong Yanyue Sword come from in the Han Dynasty? It's just that the ancients had a lack of knowledge, which is normal, so I won't correct them.

"Nothing, nothing." Chen Changzhen was not angry. He had always been arrogant, and was only proud of mediocre people. On the contrary, he could understand each other when it came to people who were more capable and arrogant than him, and said, "Wukong is really powerful in martial arts. There is no one like you in the world, and I have nothing to give you any advice. I just ask you to practice riding horses, and you will be invincible in the world in the future, which is beyond my reach."

"It's easy to talk!" the nine-foot-tall monkey replied cheerfully.
