Japanese kendo flourished and developed during the Warring States Period and finally reached its peak during the Edo period. It no longer formed swordsmanship like the Warring States Period by relying on qualifications, but instead formed a kendo inheritance with the rules of completing the teacher education.

Beichen Yishu and Mirror Heart Zhizhihu, Shinto Wumingliu have become the three major schools of kendo and are also the authentic inheritance of Japanese kendo.

Chiba Shigetaro is the head of the contemporary head of the Beichen Yidao Liu Xuanwu Pavilion. His father and uncle are both Japanese swordsmans in the late Edo period and early Meiji period.

The three sects of Kendo were in the early days, and each had its own advantages. However, with the joint efforts of the two generations of parents of Chiba Shigetaro's uncle Sakusatsu Shigetaro and Chiba Shigetaro's father Dingyoshi Masato, the Beichen Yidao Sword and the Kendo Sword and improvement were continuously improved, and the Xuanwu Pavilion also overwhelmed the other two factions and became the authentic sect in the Meiji era and the number one star in the world.

After inheriting the family business, Chiba Shigetaro quickly made Beichen Yidao a royal martial arts master after inheriting the family business. Shigetaro also became Emperor Meiji's kendo teacher, and the kendo master of many princes. He was named "the first imperial kendo teacher" by the emperor two years ago, becoming the "Sword Saint" and a mythical figure in martial arts among the Japanese folk.

Chiba Shigetaro was ordered to go to the Qing Dynasty to challenge the Qing Dynasty's martial arts masters. It was called "the first step for the Great Japanese martial arts movement to occupy Asia" in Japanese newspapers. When the diplomatic envoy called with Western countries, he even said that it was "the Great Japanese Empire Sword Saint traveled westward to preach."

Therefore, Chiba Shigetaro has become the most eye-catching character in the Japanese government, opposition and the city. He is now full of halo. As long as he defeats the Chinese martial arts master, Chiba Shigetaro who returns to Japan will definitely become a true Japanese mythical figure and will enter the Yasukuni Shrine Ise Shrine to enjoy the Japanese worship.

Ichio Itagaki is the number one master of Bushido, but Bushido actually does not have a complete martial arts inheritance. His ability is mainly based on the training of Yokotsu's brother and the integration with practicing other martial arts, and he has become a generation of strong men with hard skills and great power.

Funagae Yoshijin's status is different from Chiba Shigetaro, because Funagae Yoshijin is a nobleman of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Thirty-two years ago, Japan annexed the Ryukyu Kingdom and changed it to Okinawa Prefecture. It seems that the people of the Ryukyu Islands became Japanese citizens, but in fact, they have been subjected to exclusion and humiliation in Japan and have no sense of belonging or social status.

A few years ago, Fukiyo Yoshijin's Tangshou Kung Fu shocked Tokyo, but he was constrained to teach martial arts at Okinawa Middle School.

When he was following his master to Edo, Shinge Yoshijin's disciples had a conflict with Japanese samurai when they visited the former Ryukyu King Shangtai who was imprisoned in Tokyo. Shinge Yoshijin immediately challenged the Japanese samurai, and defeated ten samurai with sharp blades with bare hands, which shocked the Japanese martial arts world for the first time.

Due to the different identities and races, the process of promoting Tang Shu was very difficult, and it was very difficult to protect the rights and interests of the Okinawa people from being occupied. This time, the Japanese emperor issued an edict to ask him to accompany the sword saint and Ichio Itagaki to go to the Qing Dynasty to compete. Chuanyu was in a very complicated mood. After all, the Qing Dynasty was the old master of Ryukyu, and Ryukyu people were closer to China in culture. Especially Tang Shu had learned Chinese martial arts, but in order to make the poor Okinawa be valued and treated well by Tokyo, Chuanyu also bet on everything for this battle, including his wealth and life.

Foreign ministers, Shigetaro Chiba, Ichio Itagaki, Yoshijin Funa and other samurai stood there, and several whips outside the main hall gate sounded, and a red-topped eunuch waved the whisk and sang loudly, saying, "The emperor is here! All officials are worshiping you! Ah~ah~"

Today is a grand dynasty meeting. Nearly a hundred Manchu and Han officials all knelt on the ground, shouting long live the mountain, and the foreign envoys in the east wall also bowed and said in foreign language or Chinese, "Sir XXX, XXX, the envoy of a certain empire, met His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"

A moment later, the voice of a child with a small volume came from the steps: "All my dear friends!"

The eunuch continued again: "All officials stand up!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Thank you His Majesty the Emperor of Qing."

After thanking him, all the officials stood up and the envoys stood up. Gao Tai looked up and saw a little boy in a dragon robe sitting on the golden dragon throne. He looked only four or five years old, so he must be Puyi.

On the left side of the stairs under the dragon chaise was placed, with the Regent Zaifeng wearing a robe sitting on it.

Puyi was too young and was Zaifeng's son. Now it was just a decoration. Zaifeng was actually in charge of the Qing court. He looked at His Highness's Chinese and foreign ministers and felt proud and proud in his heart. He felt that he had returned to Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong's all countries to come to court. He couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Today, the emperor gave a banquet. First, to thank all the envoys for pursuing loans for our country, and second, to welcome Japanese martial arts masters. When the martial arts people in Japan, China and Japan compete in the future, we should stop. We must not hurt the harmony!"

Xu Shichang stepped forward and said, "Prince, the two Japanese martial arts masters are guests from afar, so we should treat them with courtesy."

The Japanese minister was about to whisper to translate for Shigetaro Chiba, but the old sword saint frowned and said in half-baked Chinese: "My Majesty the Emperor of the Great Japanese Empire sent us to let the people of the world see that the kendo of Japan is the world's strongest martial arts. The prince of the Qing Dynasty, please treat it seriously!"

"Uh!" Zaifeng was stunned when he heard this. Anger surged in his heart, but he did not dare to get angry, so he had to snort coldly.

Seeing that the ministers of all countries were all laughing at jokes, Xu Shichang sighed in his heart and stepped forward and said, "Please sit down, the banquet is about to begin."

Although Xu Shichang changed the subject, the atmosphere in the hall was still a bit awkward, especially the princes and ministers of the Qing Dynasty. They all felt that it was embarrassing to have the Regent been robbed by Japanese samurai.

After eating something casually, Chiba Shigetaro stood up again, looked at Zaifeng sitting on the steps, and asked, "Your Highness Regent, who are you from the Qing Dynasty who will deal with us? When will the life and death case be signed?"

Zaifeng's face darkened, and he looked at Xu Shichang. Xu Shichang was about to get up, but he saw Gao Tai laughing and said, "Little Japan is a barbarian in foreign countries! If you don't understand ethics, you will challenge me to the Qing martial arts world, why are you still so aggressive?"

When the Japanese Minister, Chiba Shigetaro and other Japanese frowned when they heard this, they looked at Gao Tai. Those who knew him hurriedly introduced to Shigetaro and others to the leader of the martial arts world of the Qing Dynasty.

Knowing Gao Tai's origin, Chiba Shigetaro's brows stretched, stood up solemnly, and bowed slightly, "So you are the number one martial arts in the Qing Dynasty, the King of Gun God Sankashi, I'm not respectful!"

Gao Tai knew that in order to enhance the status of the Chinese martial arts world last month, he gave himself the title of "Gun God". Sun Lutang's "first-hand in the world" and Li Shuwen's "Sharp Gun Fist" were also widely known. Huo Yuanjia was originally called "yellow-faced tiger" because of his iron sand palm practice in his early years, and was called "yellow-faced tiger". Now he has also changed to "king-faced tiger". The titles of the rest are even more strange.

Gao Tai bowed and said, "You are a guest from afar. How can you talk about it better than you? I will accept it."

Chiba Shigetaro grinned and said, "Happy! We think we can compete in three games. Our master and disciple and Funago Yoshijin will fight. How dare you ask who will the leader of the king to fight?"
