The Legend of the Twelve Arhats of the Axe Gang (IV): Reclusive fishing village, encountered wokou

Since its establishment in 1905, under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen, the League has organized and launched many armed uprisings such as Mashi, Hekou, Pingliuli, and Huanghuagang, although the uprisings have failed, Sun Yat-sen has not been discouraged, and continued to prepare for the armed uprising on the basis of summarizing the lessons of failure, but at the same time found that there is a fatal weak link: the timely arrival of guns and ammunition. The failure of the second uprising was caused by problems in the middle of the dart board [guns and ammunition].

Hearing that the twelve brothers of Meng Xiaoshan, a famous Master of Henan Luohan Boxing, came to Foshan to open a martial arts hall, the League Knew that Sun Yufeng had participated in the anti-Qing peripheral organization, so it decided to develop Meng Xiaoshan's martial arts hall for the use of the League. Therefore, Chen Jianhong and Huang Baoxiong were instructed by the Alliance to visit the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau under the pseudonyms Chen Jianming and Huang Xinsheng as businessmen.

Chen Jianhong was born in Guangzhou's Fujia family, and his father, Chen Qinghe, was a famous silk king in Guangdong. In 1900, Chen Jianming followed Sun Yat-sen to engage in anti-Qing causes in Xingzhong. In 1905, he served as minister and head of the assassination team in the Executive Department of the League under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen.

Chen Jianhong was an anti-Qing righteous man who could write and fight, and his one-handed two-gun game made Qing court officials feel frightened, and the good calligraphy he wrote was amazing. Unfortunately, on the eve of the armed uprising in Guangzhou, he was ambushed by more than a dozen killers in the Qing court, and his eyes were scattered with lime without defense, Chen Jianhong, with his extraordinary kung fu, relied on his own hearing to kill all the killers, but he was also shot six times, one of which hit the spine and could not be removed and disabled, and had to quit the alliance to live in seclusion in Shanghai, and bid farewell to his career as a horseman.

Huang Baoxiong was once one of Sun Yat-sen's eight bodyguards, not only proficient in boxing: a natural fist kung fu is difficult to meet opponents, and playing with a double gun is known as the first sharp gun. Later, he was favored by Chen Jianhong and transferred to the assassination team. The assassination team consisted of a total of eighteen gunmen, all of whom were double-gun masters, and several senior members of the Qing court and the generals of the new army died in the assassination group of the Alliance, which made the Qing court official hear that the Alliance would assassinate the group and change color. In particular, the four major gunmen of the assassination group; Huang Baoxiong, Ding Shirong, Xie Zhengxin, and Hong Zixing were called the four demons of the Alliance by the Qing court.

Although the Meng Xiaoshan brothers escaped from Foshan, they knew that there was no foothold in Guangdong, and they heard that one of Ren Tianxiang's distant uncles was in Hui'an, Fujian, which was close to the sea, remote and suitable for seclusion, so they decided to go to Hui'an, Fujian.

The twelve brothers of Meng Xiaoshan hid in Tibet all the way to Hui'an, Fujian Province, and after the introduction of Ren Tianxiang's distant uncle, they lived in anonymity in the fishing village of Donglin in Hui'an.

The Legend of the Twelve Arhats of the Axe Gang (IV): Reclusive fishing village, encountered wokou

Donglin Fishing Village is a very remote small village near the sea, and the villagers have lived on fishing for generations. The people of the fishing village are simple, because there are few young people in the village, it is very welcome to see twelve young and strong boys, and they helped the Meng Xiaoshan brothers build two bamboo houses in the fishing village, although the bamboo houses are simple, but they finally have a place to live. Since then, the brothers have lived a quiet life of fishing, repairing boats, repairing nets, raising pigs and raising chickens for self-sufficiency.

The peaceful, idyllic life was soon shattered.

One afternoon, it was early summer, the weather was unusually hot, and a group of bandits suddenly came to the head of the east village of the fishing village. The bandits were shirtless and barefoot, wearing a wide pair of black pants and a long knife in their waists, and when they entered the village, they robbed and killed people, and the village was immediately plunged into chaos.

Meng Xiaoshan's brothers were drying fish in the west of the village, they heard the screams and cries of the villagers, and rushed to the east of the village, only to see a group of strongmen not far away who were robbing wantonly, and when they saw people raising knives, they would split, and they knew that they were not locals by looking at their attire and the sound of "whining and wah-wah-la".

"It's Wokou!" Meng Xiaoshan suddenly exclaimed.

"What? Is it wokou? The brothers exclaimed.

Meng Xiaoshan's roar of "Ah" quickly ran towards Wu Kou, followed by the brothers. A group of bandits who were robbing saw more than a dozen villagers rushing over with their bare hands, and immediately threw away the package they had snatched in their hands, and greeted them with knives in both hands, and the two short men who rushed in front of them raised their knives and slashed at Meng Xiaoshan, Meng Xiaoshan's body turned sideways, his arms were outstretched, two long knives were already in his hands, and the double knives were waved, and the necks of the two short wukou were immediately cut open, and blood gushed out. The rest of the Wokou shouted "Wow Wow" and surrounded them, "Oh, Wow, Wow", with the sound of several blade impacts, the three Wokou were killed by Meng Xiaoshan on the spot. The rest of the Wokou were knocked to the ground under the punches and kicks of the brothers, and several of Ren Tianxiang's brothers snatched the long knife of the Wokou and fell from their hands, and more than a dozen Wokou were killed at once, and only two of the Wokou escaped by chance.

In many coastal areas of Fujian, there are often Wokou bandits, who rob and kill villages along the coast, rape women, and commit all kinds of evil deeds, which seriously disturbs the normal life of the coastal people. However, because donglin fishing village is too remote, there are few wokou, so the villagers' awareness of the prevention of wokou is relatively poor.

After this disaster, the villagers were horrified, and when they saw twelve young people from outside killing twenty-one Of them with their bare hands, they were overjoyed and surrounded meng Xiaoshan's brothers one after another to thank them. That night, the fishing village celebrated through the night.

The next morning, the sun on the seashore had not yet revealed the sea, the fishing village was filled with thick morning fog, and from time to time, in a peaceful and quiet, suddenly a dog bark sounded, and then someone shouted loudly: "Wokou is coming!" Here we go! ”

The villagers heard the barking and shouting of the dogs in confusion and rushed out of the house, and the Meng Xiaoshan brothers rushed out with their double hooks.

Not far to the east of the village, I saw dozens of Wokou with long knives in their hands, shirtless and barefoot, striding towards them, and seven or eight large dogs were running and barking not far from Wokou's side.

Meng Xiaoshan's twelve brothers were all shirtless, barefoot, and shorts, and they held two short-handled double hook halberds in their hands, and quickly caught up with Wu Kou. Nearly a hundred villagers stood not far away and watched quietly.

About twenty steps away from Wu Kou, Meng Xiaoshan raised his double hook in his right hand and shouted, "Brothers, kill me!" Then he jumped forward.

"Kill!" The brothers, armed with two double hooks, shouted in unison and rushed forward.

A tall, black-faced, and stomach-like big man in the crowd held a long knife in both hands, a big stride forward, swinging the knife a diagonal split, Meng Xiaoshan's left hand raised the double hook halberd to block it, with the sound of "thaw", Meng Xiaoshan's left hand double hook halberd pushed forward and flipped forward, the other party's long knife immediately came out of his hand, the black man was obviously caught off guard, hurriedly wanted to flash back, but it was too late, and was stabbed in the chest by Meng Xiaoshan's right hand double hook and killed immediately.

Dozens of people immediately fought together, only to hear the sound of weapons crashing into each other, accompanied by the screams of "Ah, ah, ah".

The double hook is known as the four nemesis of cold weapons, among which it is the first nemesis of swords and swords. The Japanese knife is five feet long, holding the knife in both hands, the knife is fast, the force is fierce, especially the knife method is varied, and in the duel with many weapons, the Japanese sword often occupies a great advantage. Unfortunately, this time the Japanese sword met its nemesis, and it was even more unfortunate that they met the top martial arts masters.

Dozens of Japanese swords could not be used at all under the blow of twenty-four double hook halberds, and the knives and double hook halberds were often locked by the double hooks. Meng Xiaoshan's brothers swung their double hooks, stabbed left and right, as if entering no man's land, and in a few minutes, dozens of Wokou were all killed, and none of them survived, and the villagers who were watching were dumbfounded, and the half-sound could not return to God.

After this battle, the reputation of meng Xiaoshan's brothers was greatly enhanced, and villagers from the eight townships around Donglin Fishing Village also came to ask for a teacher to learn art. In order to be grateful, and in order to help the Meng Xiaoshan brothers open a boxing gym to strengthen the village, the villagers of Donglin Fishing Village worked together to build a large courtyard for the Meng Xiaoshan brothers, but Meng Xiaoshan agreed to it.

The Meng Xiaoshan brothers were grateful for the enthusiasm of the villagers, so they opened a "Donglin Boxing Gym" in Donglin Fishing Village. The villagers are very motivated, and as many as 85 students have signed up to participate in the boxing gym.

The "Donglin Boxing Gym" opened, and the villagers of Donglin Fishing Village looked at the thriving boxing gym and couldn't help but smile.
