Chapter 21 (1/2)
Zheng Hong didn't say more about the boxing competition, but talked about the next qualifying match with Wei Ran.
”For the seat of adjudicator, you must first obtain the qualification before you have the opportunity to participate. The next qualifying match will be held in Luzon, Nanyang, your hometown. ”
Wei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that his fabricated hometown was in Luzon. It was said that since the Ming Navy drove away the Frankies entrenched in Nanyang two hundred years ago (at the end of the 16th century), the Nanyang islands have become the colonies of the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the natives there have been naturalized into the people of the Ming Dynasty. They basically speak Mandarin, wear Han clothes, perform Han rites, and work in the manor of the planter of the Ming Dynasty. Those who have been innocent for more than three generations can even participate in the imperial examination as officials.
However, a small number of tribes living in the jungle have maintained opposition with the support of the West.
Zheng Hong launched his own sailors many years ago to suppress the riots led by these tribes. With the strength of the Zheng family alone, they almost slaughtered the rioting natives.
Zheng Hong saw that Wei was too silent and said, ”why, I'm going back to my hometown. I'm afraid of being close to my hometown?”
Wei Ran suddenly said, ”Wei is not from Luzon.”
”Ha ha, I already know. You have a Huguang accent in your voice. If you are from Luzon, almost all of them are Minnan or vernacular. Only a generation of immigrants will have the tone of mainland provinces. ”
Wei Ran smiled and said, ”since you know I'm lying, why do you cooperate with me?”
”Few people who dare to go to sea are innocent. Everything goes to the bottom. My Zheng family is not the imperial court. What's more, we Zheng family were born as pirates. Besides, I can't find a better fighter than you, can I? ”
”Since the captain has no doubt about his employment, Wei should do his best.”
Zheng Hong waved his hand, ”the power you want to look for beyond the limits of mortals is available in Daming. As far as I know, the Yu family still has inheritance, that is, the Yu family of Yu Long Qi Hu. ”
Wei Ran's eyes lit up, ”the family history of General Yu Dayou?”
”Yes, General Yu Dayou, alone in the past, fought all over the Shaolin Temple, which is known as the best martial arts in the world. The invincible hand has a family heritage.”
Wei Ran's heart is surging. As a martial artist, he has heard many legends of famous generals even in later generations, and Yu Dayou is one of them. I'm very excited to see the Yu family's Kung Fu with my own eyes.
”Then, after the qualifying match, please take me to visit Yu's house.”
”Naturally, I've heard from some channels. It seems that many of the boxing wish competition are monsters that are difficult to guess from the perspective of mortals. At that time, the competition may be very cruel. It can help you improve your strength and increase my chances of winning.”
Wei Ran thought, ”do you have any information about the boxer opposite in this qualifying match?”
”I'm a Muay Thai fighter. I'll have someone sort out the information for you later. I'm sure you can handle it.”
Wei Ran repaired in Jinshan City for three days, and a merchant ship of the Zheng family came to pick them up to Luzon. After boarding the ship, Zheng Hong introduced four people to him as his assistants to participate in the boxing wish competition in the future.
