In our traditional Chinese culture, the most famous is Chinese Kung Fu, which has already had considerable influence in the world, and foreigners' first impression of China is also Kung Fu. And in the history books we have read since we were young, there must be stories of great heroes who have a good martial art, go down the mountain to rob the rich and help the poor, and uphold justice.
Therefore, we often think that martial artists must have a good skill, kill countless enemies on the battlefield, and make battle achievements that will remain in the annals of history forever, but in fact, martial artists rarely go to the battlefield, why is this? During the Ming Dynasty, a martial artist gave the answer.
The Ming Dynasty, as an era of frequent turmoil in Chinese history, there were many heroes and good men, and the martial arts system was not perfected until the Ming and Qing dynasties, so the martial artists of the Ming and Qing dynasties were the most comprehensive warriors, they had a mature training system and many kinds of martial arts secrets. This is very heartwarming, so the martial arts fever was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, including a very famous martial artist named Shi Jingyan. The Ming Dynasty martial artist Shi Jingyan was the founder of Shijia Gun, and he used his strength to prove what a true martial artist is.
Shi Jingyan, as a person who grew up from snacks, has a very bold temperament, is very moralistic to his friends and brothers, and he has also developed the will to persevere to the end. After Shi Jingyan reached his youth, he began to learn martial arts and wanted to make a career through martial arts, so he went south and north, made a lot of heroes and good men, and also competed with many famous teachers, and finally got the recognition of everyone and became a martial artist.
After Shi Jingyan became famous, he began to open a martial arts hall, married his wife and had children, and began his own happy life, but there were unexpected storms in the sky, and there was frequent turmoil during the Ming Dynasty, and Shi Jingyan's patriotism made him want to fight for the country, so Shi Jingyan joined the army. Shi Jingyan's first battle was to face the ethnic minority Miao, although he faced such a strong enemy, he was not soft and could not be sharp on the battlefield.
Later, Shi Jingyan followed the Ming Dynasty army on the Eastern Expedition to the West, although Shi Jingyan's record was very good, but Shi Jingyan's personality as a good man in the green forest was doomed to be unsuitable for mixed ranks in the army, so Shi Jingyan was not promoted for several years. When Shi Jingyan was old, he wanted to return home and start his life again, away from right and wrong in the military. As a result, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, the war broke out again, this time it was the invasion of the Manchu Qing and the rebel army, and the Ming Dynasty was in a period of critical survival. At that time, the local officer wanted To make Shi Jingyan come back, so he asked Shi Jingyan's friends to persuade Shi Jingyan to join the army, and Shi Jingyan's blood was rekindled, although he was still on the battlefield in old age.
However, this time, the enemy faced was not the original Miao, but the cunning and treacherous rebel Zhang Xianzhong. When Zhang Xianzhong was attacking Susong in Anhui, he heard that someone had come to attack him, so he let the army ambush him, but Shi Jingyan's army commander rushed forward. In the end, it was attacked, Shi Jingyan in the chaotic battle left and right killed but had no effect, in the face of the crowded enemy army, Shi Jingyan was finally exhausted by the peasant army, was shot by bows and arrows, such a hero is really a pity.
