Reborn as King of South America

Chapter 550: Victory Parade - Huang Feihong
On April 1890, 4, in Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, it was just daybreak when the roads leading to the city were crowded with people.

Today is the day of the Paraguayan War Victory Parade. In order to grab a good spot to watch the ceremony, many people got up early and set out for the city before dawn.

Huang Feihong, Liang Kuan, Lam Sai Wing, Chen Dianbiao (Ghost Leg Seven), and Deng Fang and his apprentice were also in the crowd, pushing each other and moving towards the city gate.

"Master, if we had known that there would be so many people watching the ceremony, we should have come a day earlier and booked an inn in the city to avoid being crowded here."

Liang Kuan, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, followed Huang Feihong and others and complained.

"It's no use even if you come one day in advance. There are too many people who are invited or who come to attend the victory parade on their own initiative. All the inns in Chang'an City were booked out 10 days in advance."

A fat man explained: "Master, you are on the invitation list, and the government has arranged a room for you. Why don't you check in early?"

"I was invited to attend the ceremony as a representative of the martial arts community. There are many senior martial artists, but housing in the city is limited, so I gave the spot to an old senior. We are starting from Songjiang Prefecture, which is not too far from Chang'an City. It won't be a big deal if we stay in an inn outside the city for one night."

Huang Feihong didn't care. He followed the crowd and walked forward slowly. He smiled and said, "It's still early. After entering the city, we will go to meet up with Master Li, Master Sun, Master Han and others, and then go to the gate of the imperial palace to watch the ceremony."

"Han Muxia is also in Chang'an? Is he also on the list of those invited to attend the ceremony?"

Liang Kuan said in surprise.

"Yes, in March of the previous year, Mr. Han was invited by Director Wu to attend the 3th Jingwu Qiangxue Society in Taiwan. He demonstrated Xingyiquan in public and received unanimous praise. After the meeting, he was hired on the spot as a martial arts instructor of the Jingwu Qiangxue Society to spread traditional martial arts. Last September, Mr. Han, as a representative of Xingyiquan, had friendly exchanges with foreign martial arts circles and defeated British strongman James Long, German strongman Lamp, and French strongman Karenbauer in succession. He set a record of three consecutive victories, which greatly boosted the national spirit."

"How come I haven't heard of this? If I had known, I would have participated. When I was in the Far East, I couldn't stand the condescending attitude of the foreigners. When I came to the Han Kingdom, I must teach the foreigners a lesson if I have the chance, so that they can see what real Chinese martial arts are!"

"A Kuan, you have just arrived in Han Kingdom, there are many things you don't know."

The obese Lin Shirong glanced at his junior brother and said with a smile: "Junior brother, if you want to challenge foreign strongmen, first of all, you have to strengthen your basic skills. When your skills can reach my level, you will be qualified. Secondly, you have to pass the assessment of the Jingwu Qiangxue Society. Only by passing the assessment can you get the opportunity to fight with foreign strongmen."

"Master, you are the specially invited martial artist of the Jingwu Qiangxue Society, and also the chief instructor of the Songjiang Prefecture militia. I also want to join the Jingwu Qiangxue Society, please grant me your permission!"

"Nonsense, you are already of family-age, but you are still so impatient and impatient. I will send you to the Jingwu Qiangxue Academy. You are young and hot-tempered, and you will not know how to control the severity of your actions. If you hurt others or yourself, it will be too late to regret. Ah Kuan, stay in Baozhilin first and learn some knowledge about medicinal materials and treatment from the brothers to temper your temper. When your temper becomes more stable, I will let you go."

"Master, I also know Brother Han. He is only a few years older than me. He can make a name for himself in his early twenties. So can I. Don't worry. After learning from you for so many years, I have become much more stable and will not cause you any trouble."

Liang Kuan was unwilling to give in and continued to plead.

"Ah Kuan, Mr. Han has been practicing martial arts since he was young. Although his family was poor, he was self-reliant and became famous in the countryside at the age of 15. Although you and Mr. Han are not much different in age, you still have a lot to learn.

Also, you know Mr. Han and have a good relationship with him, but you cannot address him by his first name in front of outsiders. This is basic etiquette, remember that."

Huang Feihong lectured with a stern face.

"I understand, Master." Seeing that Liang Kuan was intimidated by his majesty and agreed verbally but was still unwilling in his heart, Huang Feihong turned his head and glanced at several disciples. After entering the city gate and the crowd dispersed, several people sat down in front of a steamed bun stall. He said: "Ah Rong, Ah Biao, Ah Kuan, Ah Fang, you have followed me for many years, all the way from Foshan in the Far East, San Francisco in the United States, to the Han Kingdom in South America, you have gained a lot of knowledge. Tell me, what are your plans for the future?"

"Wherever the master goes, we go."

Several people looked at each other and said in unison.

"You guys." Huang Feihong smiled and said with satisfaction, "You've all reached the age of starting a family and building a career. It's been a bumpy road, and it's time to think about your future life. Don't worry, just say what you think. Master has experienced a lot over the years, and his ideas have become more open. He is no longer the old stubborn man he used to be. Don't worry about what you say affecting Master."

"Master, I want to stay by your side and run Bao Zhi Lin well. The government strongly advocates the development of the medical industry, and many people seek medical treatment every day. Seeing those people recover after treatment makes me happy. My idea is to inherit Master's legacy and carry forward Bao Zhi Lin."

Deng Fang said seriously.

"Master, I want to study with you for another two years, then sign up for the Jingwu Qiangxue Society's assessment and become a martial arts master who spreads Chinese martial arts."

"Master, my father sent me a letter from Nanhai County, saying that he has arranged a marriage for me in my hometown. I plan to go back to my hometown to get married at the end of the year, and then bring all my family members to settle in South American Han Country. I will stay by your side and serve you in the future."

"Master, I want to join the army. I want to gain a good career while I'm still young."

Several disciples successively expressed their true thoughts.

"Ah Fang is calm and mature. I feel relieved to leave Bao Zhi Lin in your hands."

Huang Feihong said with satisfaction.

"Ah Kuan, if you want to go to the Jingwu Qiangxue Academy, I have no objection, but your temper must be tempered for a period of time. How about this, after the military parade is over, you come back to Songjiang Prefecture with me, and I will introduce you to Brigade Commander Wang who is in charge of the training of the Songjiang Prefecture militia and garrison. First, you will train in the Songjiang Prefecture Garrison Brigade for two years. After your temper is tempered and stabilized in the barracks, I will let you go to the Jingwu Qiangxue Academy."

"Thank you, Master." Liang Kuan said happily.

"It's a good idea to join the army. Ah Biao is only 22 years old this year, so it's not too late to join the army. However, the recruitment standards of the Han Field Army are strict, and officers are required to have a military academy degree. If you want to develop in the army for a long time, you can only start as an ordinary soldier, and then make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and be promoted out of turn. Ah Biao, have you thought about it?"

"Master, I have thought it through. Starting from an ordinary soldier, I can achieve something with the skills I have learned from following you for these years."

"Okay, A Biao, the master believes in you."

Huang Feihong finished speaking and then looked at his eldest disciple Lin Shirong: "Ah Rong, you are the eldest brother and the oldest. It is a good thing for you to get married. The situation in South American Han is stable and the development momentum is booming. After returning to the Far East Continent to get married, hurry up and bring all your family members over. If you encounter any trouble, go to Director Wu of the Han Kingdom or Master Chen Lanbin of the Qing Court. The master has some friendship with them and will help you."

"Hey, thank you for your concern, Master."

"Let's stop talking so much. The buns are here. Let's eat together."
