The three martial arts leaders who died in the ring, Yu Chunqiu, on behalf of the yamen, paid money to hold a funeral for them.

The martial arts hall is supported by the owner alone.

Without the owner, the martial arts hall will definitely be lonely or even go bankrupt. Other disciples are not good at martial arts, and they really can't support a martial arts hall.

Half a month later.

A great disciple from Tai Chi Boxing Gym came to Jingwu Gate to inform that Master Chen was getting worse because of his injury and was almost out of reach.

Huo Yuanjia said: "Chen Zhen, go to the county government to tell Mr. Yu."

Chen Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, Master. I'll go now."

...

County government office.

Yu Chunqiu looked at Chen Zhen and said in surprise: "What did you say? Master Chen is almost out of reach? Why is it so sudden?"

Chen Zhen said: "Sir, Master Chen's injury was healed, and he pretended. His injuries did not improve at all, but were deteriorating. Now he can't hold on anymore, so Master Chen asked his disciples to come to Jingwumen to report the news. Master Chen wants to see you for the last time."

Yu Chunqiu said, "Let's go to Tai Chi Hall."

Master Chen’s Tai Chi Pavilion is not far from the county government, and it only takes more than ten minutes.

Yu Chunqiu and Chen Zhen ran there.

Yu Chunqiu rushed into the Tai Chi Hall and asked first: "Where is Master Chen?"

Master Chen’s eldest disciple said, “Mr. Yu, Master is in the bedroom in the backyard. I’ll take you there now.”

Walk into the bedroom.

Yu Chunqiu smelled a smell of Chinese medicine and blood. Master Chen just took a mouthful of blood.

When he saw Yu Chunqiu, Master Chen wanted to sit up.

Yu Chunqiu hurriedly supported Master Chen, asked him to lie down, and said, "Master Chen, you are injured, lie down and talk."

Master Chen said: "My injuries cannot be healed. I have been in a coma two days ago, but now my mind is extremely clear. I know this is a sign of a return."

Yu Chunqiu held Master Chen's wrist to take his pulse.

Master Chen has indeed entered a state of returning to the light. With Yu Chunqiu's medical skills, he is helpless. Unfortunately, Yu Chunqiu's public opinion is only useful to him and cannot help others.

Master Chen said to the eldest disciple: "You go out first. I want to talk to Mr. Yu alone."

Yu Chunqiu said to Chen Zhen behind him: "Chen Zhen, you go out too."

Master Chen’s eldest disciple and Chen Zhen walked out and closed the door.

Yu Chunqiu said: "Master Chen, if you have any last wishes, you will say that Yu can do it, and you will definitely not refuse."

Master Chen said, "Mr. Yu, take away the seventh brick on the ground."

Yu Chunqiu took off the floor tiles and saw a box buried underneath. Master Chen took the box and opened the lid. There was a book inside.

Master Chen said: "This boxing book was handed down by my master and is a secret of Chen-style Tai Chi. The secret master of inner practice in the book has never been practiced for a lifetime. It is said that Yang Luchan became a master of boxing and founding Yang Family Tai Chi was to practice the secret method of inner education."

"Mr. Yu, you are a good official. You came to Shanghai to help the people do a lot of things. I know. I have practiced Tai Chi all my life and have not become a master of boxing. However, I have a good vision. Mr. Yu, you are very skilled in martial arts, and only practiced external kung fu."

"Today, I will give this boxing tutorial to Mr. Yu. I hope Mr. Yu can go further in his boxing cultivation and become a master of boxing as soon as possible."

The eyes of the masses are sharp.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what Yu Chunqiu has done. Although Yu Chunqiu is doing things under the guise of the magistrate Gu.

There are many types of boxing techniques in Yu Chunqiu's eyes, and fighting is no secret in Yu Chunqiu's eyes.

However, Master Chen is right.

Yu Chunqiu did just practice foreign kung fu, and even hard qigong could only be considered foreign kung fu.

Yu Chunqiu has some understanding of internal martial arts, but Yu Chunqiu has learned the true essence.

Because the essence of internal martial arts is not fighting moves, but internal practice secret techniques.

The method of internal practice is not only breathing, but also spiritual tempering. Advanced internal martial arts involve spiritual training.

Yu Chunqiu stared at the boxing book, his eyes were a little hot, and he couldn't tell the truth, that was a lie.

Yu Chunqiu said: "Master Chen, boxing tutorials are the inheritance of your family, they are so precious. It is not suitable to give them to me."

Master Chen said, "It's not for free to Mr. Yu. This boxing gym is my lifelong hard work. After I die, I hope Mr. Yu can take care of the disciples in the martial arts gym. The eldest disciple of the boxing gym is actually my son. Unfortunately, he is not a martial arts master, and he will never become a master of boxing in this life."

Master Chen was worried about going to the martial arts hall, but more so he was worried about his son.

Master Chen's son is in his thirties and his martial arts skills are indeed a bit mediocre. He has no talent for martial arts practice and cannot be forced.

Yu Chunqiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Chen, as long as Yu is still in Shanghai, your son will have a full meal."

Master Chen's turbid eyes suddenly became bright: "With Mr. Yu's promise, I feel at ease."

Master Chen's mental thoughts gradually faded, he slowly closed his eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he was asleep.

Yu Chunqiu walked out of the bedroom.

Master Chen’s eldest disciple stood at the door.

Yu Chunqiu said, "What's your name?"

"Chen Hong."

Yu Chunqiu said, "Chen Hong, your master... no, your father is gone. You have heard all the conversation I had with your father just now?"

Chen Hong said with tears in his eyes, "My father had too high expectations for me, but I was not good at it and I always couldn't practice boxing well."

I hope my son will become a dragon and his father's business.

Which father doesn’t want his son to inherit his abilities? This is true for studying and practicing martial arts.

But things don't go as expected.

Chen Hong has no talent for boxing. He is in his thirties and has only 30% of his father's boxing skills.

Yu Chunqiu patted Chen Hong on the shoulder and said, "Please take care of your father's funeral. If you have any difficulties, come to Jingwumen or come to the county government to find me."

...

Less than a month after Master Chen passed away, the Tai Chi Hall was disbanded.

Without the master of the cafeteria, the boxing gym will naturally close. Chen Hong, the senior brother, could not support the boxing gym at all.

In order to give Chen Hong a bite of food, Yu Chunqiu arranged for him to teach Tai Chi at Jingwumen.

There is no distinction between boxing sects in Jingwu Sect. In the future, more boxing categories will be absorbed.

Jingwumen is not a martial arts school, but more like a martial arts school.

Huojiaquan and Tai Chi are just teaching subjects in the school.

...

The low-rent housing project has ended, providing accommodation for more than 1,500 households, improving the living conditions of nearly 7,000 people.

Yu Chunqiu set up a newspaper called "Fuxing News".

The first issue of the newspaper "Fuxing News" published a big news: Yu Chunqiu's two pharmaceutical factories will pay a 20,000-ocean commercial tax to the county government.

In front of the people, Yu Chunqiu sent 20,000 oceans to the county government office and handed them to the county magistrate Gu.

There are many smart people.

The bosses behind several large business banks immediately guessed Yu Chunqiu’s intention, which was to force them to pay commercial taxes.

Yu Chunqiu has to pay taxes when doing business. What reason do they have not paid taxes? If they do not pay taxes, the yamen may have to take tough measures.

It’s hateful, Yu Chunqiu is really hateful.

Is it not good to make money when doing business and keep it for yourself to enjoy it? Why do you have to pay taxes to the yamen? Many people call Yu Chunqiu a fool.

Yu Chunqiu paid taxes at a high price this time, which caused trouble, and that was the court's target.

Lord Gu found Yu Chunqiu and said, "The prefect sent someone to come. He asked the county government to pay the commercial tax. What should I do?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "Original Master, you and I know what kind of life the people live. That little commercial tax is not enough, so where can I hand over the money to the top."

If you can’t get the commercial tax, you won’t talk about it, but if you get the tax, it’s from the Qing Dynasty.

Paying taxes is a natural thing.

But Yu Chunqiu knew very well what "my Qing Dynasty" was. No matter how much tax was paid, the court would only enjoy it on its own and would not spend it on the people at all.

Don’t spend money on the people? This statement is actually inaccurate. The court is very enthusiastic about spending money to suppress the people and prevent them from rebelling.

Using taxes to suppress the people and cause harm to the people is also spending money on the people.

Yu Chunqiu resolutely refused to hand over commercial taxes to the court.

Not to mention that the magistrate sent people, it would be useless even if the governor sent people.

Yu Chunqiu wanted to use commercial taxes to feed the people and benefit the people. As for the imperial court to send troops to suppress him?

Yu Chunqiu is not afraid.

It’s not that Yu Chunqiu is arrogant and inflated, but that “My Qing Dynasty” will withdraw from the historical stage in two years.

Lord Gu said, "If you don't pay the money, how can you explain to the prefect?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "We just need to eat and drink from the magistrate. We don't give a penny to the commercial tax. If he dares to make trouble, he will drive him away."

...

During lunch.

Seeing that Chen Zhen was worried, Yu Chunqiu asked, "Chen Zhen, what's wrong with you? Is there a girl I like?"

Chen Zhen shook his head and said, "No. Today I went to the Japanese Concession. When I passed by the Hongkou Dojo, I saw a few Eastern people bullying us Chinese."

Yu Chunqiu frowned.

Mother Chen Liu said, "What are you doing when you have nothing to do? Are you not studying or practicing martial arts?"

Chen Zhen did not answer his mother's words, but looked at Yu Chunqiu.

Yu Chunqiu said: "What do you think?"

Chen Zhen said: "Sir, I want to study in Japan. I want to go to Japan to see why the Japanese are so arrogant? Is Japan's national strength really so strong? Since martial arts cannot save the country, where is the road to save the country?"

Yu Chunqiu smiled and said, "Chen Zhen, I am very happy that you can think like this. If you have ambitions, then I will give you a chance. Four months later, Tokyo University in Japan will be admitted. If you can get admitted to the University of Tokyo, I will support you to continue your studies. During the study abroad period, I will pay all your expenses."

...

Yu Chunqiu paid for Chen Zhen to invite the best teacher in Shanghai.

When the teacher learned that Chen Zhen was going to take the exam at Tokyo University in Japan four months, he shook his head.

Think this is impossible.

Four months is too short. If it is left in two years, it is still possible.

Human potential can be explored.

If you want to accomplish great things, you must first set your goals.

After you have a goal, you will be able to calm down and focus.

The end of Chen Zhen’s study is amazing. Sometimes he forgets to eat and does not feel the loss of time.

Yu Chunqiu clearly remembered that he learned a text "Eating Ink" when he was a child, which tells the story of Chen Yi being too focused on studying in childhood. In the past, Yu Chunqiu felt that the description in the book was a bit exaggerated.

However, Chen Zhen’s concentration in reading made Yu Chunqiu know that when a person has reached a certain level of concentration, he can really reach the state of "selflessness".

Chen Zhen only studied for more than three months before taking a boat to Japan.

Chen Zhen did not disappoint, and got excellent results and was admitted to the University of Tokyo, Japan.

...

Before we knew it, four years passed.

Chen Zhen has been specializing in mathematics and physics in the past four years.

With Yu Chunqiu's support, Chen Zhen did not worry about money during his studies. Sometimes, he would help other Chinese students.

Apart from studying, Chen Zhen’s martial arts and boxing skills have not been lost.

At this moment, Chen Zhen's boxing cultivation has reached the level of Huo Yuanjia four years ago. Chen Zhen not only studied traditional martial arts, but also studied Western fighting and fighting.

In the classroom, a Japanese professor was explaining the structure of an internal combustion engine.

Chen Zhen concentrates on taking notes.

Yamada Koko secretly greeted Chen Zhen, and cast a glimpse of her eyes, but Chen Zhen turned a blind eye.

It was at this moment.

A group of people from the Black Dragon Club rushed into the classroom.

"Chinese pig, get out!"

"Japanese schools are not for pigs!"

Chen Zhen took the initiative and defeated the people from the Black Dragon Club. If it weren't for Japan, Chen Zhen would have definitely crippled them.

The head coach of the Black Dragon Association, Fumifu Funjo, came to apologize to the school, marveling at Chen Zhen's boxing skills.

Fumio Fumio stared at Chen Zhen: "Chinese, you are good at it, who did you learn boxing skills?"

Chen Zhen said: "Jingwu Sect, Chen Zhen."

Fumio Fumio asked, "So what is Mr. Huo Yuanjia?"

Chen Zhen said: "It's the master."

Fumio Fumio said, "Chen Zhen, I want to tell you a sad news. I just received a telegram from Shanghai. Your master Huo Yuanjia competed with the Hongkou Dojo Ryuichi Akutagawa and died on the ring."

Chen Zhen's face changed and he said, "Impossible. My master is very skilled in martial arts, how could he be beaten to death? And..."

Also, Mr. Yu is the backer behind Jingwu Sect! In any case, Jingwu Sect has no reason to lose.

But Chen Zhen didn't say this.

...

Chen Zhen left the University of Tokyo and bought a boat ticket.

He is going back to Shanghai.

Just ready to board the ship.

"Chen Zhen."

The voice of Yamada Hikoko came from behind.

Chen Zhen asked, "Photo, why are you here?"

Yamada Minko asked, "Chen Zhen, are you really going to go back to China? You are about to graduate from college. Isn't it a pity that you left school now?"

Chen Zhen said: "I have learned the knowledge I should learn. I don't care about a graduation certificate. Photon, I have to board the ship."

Yamada Hikoko shouted at Chen Zhen’s back: “Chen Zhen, can’t you stay for me?”

Chen Zhen paused and then quickly got on the boat.

Chen Zhen promised Yu Chunqiu that after returning to China after his studies, he would use his knowledge to drive away the invaders and build the motherland. He could not stay in Japan for a woman.

...

Back to Shanghai.

Chen Zhen did not go to Jingwu Gate, but went to the county government first. But now it is not the county government, but the municipal government.

"My Qing Dynasty" has been destroyed for more than two years.

Shanghai County has become a city.

The magistrate Gu became mayor, and Yu Chunqiu became Lord Gu's secretary.

Yu Chunqiu sat in the office to review documents. It was supposed to be Mr. Gu’s job, but Yu Chunqiu worked on him. What about Mr. Gu? He accompanied some celebrities and politicians to have tea and chat every day.

A beautiful woman came to the office door and knocked gently: "Mr. Yu, there is a young man who wants to see you."

Yu Chunqiu raised his head and asked, "Who is it? Are there any appointments?"

The beautiful woman said, "His name is Chen Zhen. There is no appointment."

Yu Chunqiu said: "Chen Zhen? Please come in quickly."

...

Yu Chunqiu poured a cup of tea for Chen Zhen and said, "Chen Zhen, is it because of Master Huo this time you came back?"

Chen Zhen nodded and said, "Yes. When I learned that my master had passed away, I immediately bought a boat ticket and rushed back. Sir, tell me, how could my master be beaten to death by Japan?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "Master Huo has been weak since childhood and has asthma. However, when Master Huo was young, he was successful in practicing martial arts, strengthening his qi and blood, and temporarily suppressing his condition. However, when he got older, his asthma relapsed. In the second year when you went to study in Japan, Master Huo often took medicine and taught boxing to ask your senior brother Huo Tingen to do it for him. However, the Jingwu School neglected, and the medicinal materials that Master Huo had taken were tampered with and had nothing in a short time, but it was very fatal after a long time. Chronic poisons harmed people without blood, which made people unable to guard against it."

Chen Zhen clenched his fists with anger in his eyes: "Who killed the master?"

Yu Chunqiu looked at Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen came to his senses and said coldly: "It's Japanese!"

Yu Chunqiu stood at the window, looking at the direction of the Japanese concession and said, "Chen Zhen, since you are back, I will take time to accompany your mother and sister. I will investigate your master's affairs slowly. Alas, if you do not check, the results will be the same. The Japanese will not admit it."

"The Beiyang government is not good, and Nanjing is also weak and incompetent, and dare not offend the Japanese. Although I, Yu, sit in the city government building, my power is too small and I cannot remove those concessions."
