As we all know, nowadays ordinary people have two purposes for learning martial arts, one is to strengthen their bodies, the other is to use for self-defense, then there were many people in the Republic of China period to learn martial arts, most of them wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy on the battlefield when the country was recruiting troops, there was a warlord in the Republic of China, named Li Jinglin, because he learned martial arts with his father since childhood, during which he was also adopted as a disciple by Song, secretly taught Wudang sword techniques, after learning some success, he joined the army, step by step promoted to the commander of the first side of the Fengjun Army, although later the troops were annexed, However, with his top sword skills, he still has a reputation to this day.
Since he was a child Li Jinglin was built by his father to a very good martial arts foundation, after getting older, his father sent him to Song's only martial arts, Song only saw him clever, the foundation is thick, he did not retain, taught him his own lifelong martial arts, after learning the art, Li Jinglin returned home and did not forget to practice swordplay, with the passage of time, his swordplay attainments are getting higher and higher.
After the completion of martial arts, Li Jinglin came to Baoding, Hebei Province, participated in the Beiyang Army Accelerated Martial Arts Academy, which also became the predecessor of the Baoding Military Academy, after graduation, because of the appearance of excellence, Li Jinglin became an officer of the Qing government, when the Wuchang Uprising broke out, Li Jinglin accompanied the army to the south to participate in the exhibition, during which he served as the captain of the death squad, took the lead, conquered the position and made great contributions, and was rewarded by the Qing government with a yellow coat.
In the 1830s, Feng Yuxiang attacked Tianjin, the situation was very severe, Li Jinglin was not evacuated with his troops, he was forced to avoid the concession and chose to close the door, at this time Li Jinglin had become Feng Yuxiang's caged bird, although Feng Yuxiang's troops could not invade the concession, but this place should not stay for a long time, Li Jinglin knew in his heart.
After studying a careful plan, early one morning, Li Jinglin's nephew pre-arranged a car to drive at a speed of 69 miles along the side of the mansion on Siping Road, when the gate of the mansion was open, Li Jinglin flew into the car with several arrows, and since then escaped from Feng Yuxiang's encirclement, which was later rumored to be a good story.
After that, Li Jinglin had no intention of warlord scuffle, he went to Shanghai, when the Shanghai gang found him, wanted to take the opportunity to win over, Li Jinglin himself also wanted to publicize martial arts in Shanghai, open the door to teach apprentices, so he took advantage of the situation to let the gang help publicize, and as a result, the people who heard the news almost squeezed Li Jinglin's residence, which was enough to see Li Jinglin's prestige in the martial arts world.
This matter also reached chiang kai-shek's ears, he thought that Li Jinglin was a talent, wanted to include him in his troops, but for this invitation Li Jinglin still declined, he has long been disgusted with the struggle of the warlords, now only want to pass on the martial arts well, in a preparation for martial arts activities, because of insufficient funds, he had to find a gangster to help, when Li Jinglin went to the gang leader's home, said a sentence: "If your gun can't win my sword within 15 steps, you must give me financial sponsorship". At that time, the gang leader did not believe in evil, and as a result, he was impressed by Li Jinglin's martial arts and courage, and agreed to give the sponsorship fee. From here, it can be seen that the Sword Immortals of the Republic of China generation are actually worthy of the name, and they are really worthy of being a generation of martial arts masters!
