Chapter 459: Martial Arts Conference

After hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Li Mubai couldn't help frowning. But he didn't know what Zhou Xuan had plans, so he could only ask on his own initiative.

"Master, then what should we do?"

He had heard Zhou Xuan's meaning clearly now, but he was still a little confused. After all, this was a rebellion and not a trivial matter. If it was accidentally leaked and the Qing court found out, it would be a loss of his head. But he did not object, after all, what Zhou Xuan said was indeed very reasonable.

Zhou Xuan had already thought about everything, so there was no need to think about anything. He showed a solemn expression on his face, and then said to Li Mubai loudly.

"We must gather all the strength of all parties to defend our country. The Qing court would only be in aggrieved and had no ability to protect this country at all. That's why I came out and planned to go into battle myself."

In fact, Zhou Xuan's statement has many loopholes, but Li Mubai dared not ask any more questions. After all, the other party is a "immortal" master, so those who are apprentices naturally dare not talk too much.

Li Mubai nodded without hesitation and said to Zhou Xuan with respect.

"The master is not righteous and deserves to be a wise man. Don't worry, I will definitely help you. If you have anything to do, please tell me directly."

He has practiced martial arts for many years, but he actually saw these things. But he did not have the courage of Zhou Xuan and dared to take on the burden of saving the people. This may be the confidence of the "immortals" or the reason why the other party can attain enlightenment.

Zhou Xuan showed a look of relief in his eyes, and then said to Li Mubai with a smile.

"Mu Bai, what you have to do now is to post heroes and call all the prominent people in the world to Wudang Mountain to hold a martial arts conference. At that time, I will take the opportunity to serve as the leader of the martial arts world, integrate everyone's strength and participate in the grand event."

This is the purpose of his trip. He borrowed Li Mubai's reputation to summon martial arts people. Only famous people like Li Mubai can do this, and it will not be very effective if he replaces others.

Li Mubai nodded in agreement and immediately responded to Zhou Xuan.

"Well, a good idea, then I'll do it now."

He also knew that this kind of thing was very troublesome and could not be delayed, so he was ready to do it immediately.

Zhou Xuan was very satisfied with Li Mubai's attitude towards work, and nodded with a smile.

"Well, the faster the better."

Li Mubai nodded and immediately turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Zhou Xuan turned his head to look at Yu Jiaolong who was standing uneasy, and shook his head helplessly. He walked to Yu Jiaolong and said unhappyly.

"Look, everyone said you went out to play first. You didn't listen. Now you heard it and you were afraid. I really don't know what to say to you..."

Yu Jiaolong wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he couldn't help asking.

“…Master, what will happen to my dad?”

She was actually not afraid of anything else, she was just worried about her parents and family.

Zhou Xuan chuckled, and then said to Yu Jiaolong as if he was coaxing a child.

"Of course your father is my own. Don't worry, your master is such a powerful person, and you will be fine. Be obedient and be appointed as a female general in the future."

When Yu Jiaolong heard the "female general", his eyes lit up. He blinked and asked at Zhou Xuan.

"Really?"

Zhou Xuan saw Yu Jiaolong's reaction and nodded with a smile.

"Of course, when did I cheat you."

Yu Jiaolong felt much more at ease and then responded.

"Oh well."

Then he walked out, and Zhou Xuan was the only one left in the study.

Sometimes Zhou Xuan could not help but fantasize. What would happen if the Eight-Nation Alliance took place during the reign of Qin Shihuang in the Qin Dynasty? Although the weapons and equipment were one era behind, the Qin Dynasty army was a well-known existence in history.

The Qin army phalanx refers to the Qin army having a type of infantry phalanx, holding a seven-meter spear, placing it flat, and stabbing the enemy soldiers with its long advantage.

The Qin Dynasty's crossbow had an effective range of 150 meters, which was the most accurate weapon in the world at that time, and even had its own aiming system. When the Qin people fought, they used the Qin crossbow to severely damage the enemy's main force when there was no close contact. This was a concentrated reflection of the centralized control and strong military system of Qin State.

The regular distribution of crossbows, steps, chariots and cavalry in the square formation reminds people of the organizational structure chart of modern enterprises. According to the terrain and terrain, the strength advantages of the enemy and our side, the commander of the square formation sets up formations and deploys troops, and sometimes he is ready to set up the formation, and sometimes he is maneuvering and flexibly adjusts the transformation of the formation, mobilizing internal organizational resources in the most effective way.

In the Qin army's infantry phalanx, the spearmen played the role of resisting the enemy, using their length advantage to kill the enemy, and resisting the war chariots - the main assault forces at that time.

Beryllium hand is behind the spearman. When the spearman's formation is disrupted, it uses its strong stabbing ability to push out the enemy through a smaller assault formation; the halberd hand joins the battle as a unit when the square formation is in a melee to clear the enemy in the formation.

No matter what happens, these soldiers must walk forward with their spears, fall down in the front row, and fill up the back row immediately to keep the square formation unchanged.

It can be imagined that in order to turn thousands of people into a square array with iron walls, soldiers must undergo rigorous training. Judging from the weapons and combat methods, spearmen are the most lethal infantry soldiers. The spearhead is like a forest, the square array is like a mountain, and the huge impact force is unstoppable.

Even when facing modern armies of various countries, they should have the power to fight.

In fact, the muskets of the Ming Dynasty were not weak, and some of the muskets of the late Qing Dynasty were even worse than those of the Ming Dynasty. However, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were too stupid and incompetent. They held the land of China but did not intend to make progress, and did not cherish any opportunities.

The British envoy Magirney sent Qianlong the musket was the most advanced, but it was locked into the warehouse. It was not until the British and French coalition invaded. Britain and France were very surprised. They believed that if Qianlong imitated it, Britain and France would suffer severe damage.

Moreover, the fire guns of the Ming Dynasty were quite good, and there were also Folang machine cannons. This was similar to modern mortars and was very advanced artillery at that time. However, the Qing Dynasty turned a blind eye to these and did not know much about the situation abroad. They were still immersed in the thoughts of invincible people and daydreaming for thousands of years.

At that time, the muskets of the Qing Dynasty were mainly introduced from foreign countries. The bullets were spherical bullets, and the chance of hitting the target within 100 meters was only greater than zero (not that they could not hit, but could not aim). The effective range was only 30 meters, and they could not be fired continuously.

Someone invented a machine gun in the Qing Dynasty, which could fire 28 bullets at a time.

In 1674 AD (the 13th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty), Geng Jingzhong raised an army from Fujian to invade Zhejiang, responding to the rebellion of Wu Sangui.
