Li Jinglin, who had been in the military circles and was known as the three best with Sun Lutang Li Shuwen, how high was the martial arts

Among the martial artists of the Republic of China, Li Jinglin's name is very large, and his identity is also the most complicated, he is both a warlord and a martial artist. He not only received the yellow coat that symbolized the highest honor from the Qing government, but also single-handedly blackmailed the Leaders of the Qing Gang, Jin Rong and Du Yuesheng, so what about his martial arts? What was his end?

Li Jinglin was born in 1885 in Zaoqiang County, Hebei Province. His father was a martial arts master, and he had been learning Yan Qingmen, Erlang Quan, and so on under the guidance of his father as early as an early age. Because his father was very strict with him in terms of martial arts practice, during that time, he laid a very solid foundation in martial arts.

However, the person who helped Li Jinglin the most was not his father, but the only person who was the wudang sword descendant Song.

During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing government's control over the three eastern provinces was relatively weak, the banditry there was very serious. However, the banditry is still only an internal contradiction, and what is more serious is that the Russian government covets the three eastern provinces, which are rich in products, and constantly seeks to invade and occupy the three eastern provinces. In order to change the dangerous situation, the Qing government sent the minister of Chincha to train a new army in the three eastern provinces.

The only song who was skilled in swordsmanship was that he was hired as the head of the martial arts of the "Sheng Zi Camp" during that period. Later, due to the effectiveness of the training, he was promoted to pipe belt.

When Song was the only pipe belt, 13-year-old Li Jinglin, under his father's arrangement, came to the Fengtian "Yuzi Army" Army Youth School and began to learn military talents. In the process of learning, Li Jinglin has the characteristics of enlightenment, which is the only thing that Song has under his eyes. Coupled with his solid foundation in martial arts, Song was the only one who included him in his apprenticeship and secretly taught the Wudang Sword Technique.

In 1900, the Eight-Power Alliance attacked the city of Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi, who fled west, signed the Treaty of Xinugu with the Western powers in order to continue to control the rule. Under his influence, the "Yuzi Army" was dismissed on the spot, and Li Jinglin had to bid farewell to Song and return to his hometown.

However, Li Jinglin, who was obsessed with martial arts, was unwilling to stop practicing martial arts, and he heard that Yang Luchan's third son, Yang Jianhou, had received apprentices in Yongning County, so he went to worship under him and learn Yang's Taijiquan.

In 1903, at the age of 18, Li Jinglin was admitted to the Baoding Beiyang Army Accelerated Military Training School, where he received modern military training. After graduating, he was appointed as an officer of the Janissaries by the Qing government with excellent results, and began his military career from then on.

Li Jinglin excelled in the Qing army. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, in order to strangle the flame of the revolution in the cradle, the Qing government urgently transferred troops to engage in a fierce battle with the revolutionary army. Among them, li Jinglin's Janissaries were naturally indispensable.

Although the Qing government was already weakening, Li Jinglin was different from those Qing troops who had no fighting spirit. Especially in the Battle of Guishan in Hanyang, he took the lead as a captain, led the team to break through the revolutionary army's defense line first, and won the victory through a desperate fight, thus reversing the low morale of the Qing army and reversing the situation for a time.

After Li Jinglin made a great contribution, the imperial court was very happy and specially rewarded a yellow coat that symbolized the highest honor.

If the Qing government is still prosperous, Li Jinglin became famous in the first world war, and he will certainly be reused by the Qing government, and it is not impossible to soar from then on. Unfortunately, at this time, the Qing government was decadent and backward, and had long lost the people's hearts, so with the victory of the revolutionary army, the Qing government eventually went to extinction.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, Li Jinglin first sought a company commander position in the Heilongjiang patrol battalion. There, Li Jinglin met a nobleman, Xu Lanzhou.

Xu Lanzhou is a warlord of Heilongjiang and a fellow countryman of Li Jinglin, and the most rare thing is that he and Li Jinglin are both martial arts lovers. Therefore, Li Jinglin soon became Xu Lanzhou's confidant, and under Xu Lanzhou's illumination, he was promoted to chief of staff of the First Division of the Army.

Xu Lanzhou lost the Patriotic War and had no choice but to defect to the Warlord Zhang Zuolin. As a confidant, Li Jinglin naturally advanced and retreated with Xu Lanzhou, and also became a member of Zhang Zuolin's command.

At this time, Zhang Zuolin had already controlled the military and political power of the three eastern provinces, and was having ambitions to expand into Guannei, so he recruited soldiers everywhere. Xu Lanzhou led his troops to surrender, which made him overjoyed, and naturally he was extremely kind to Xu Lanzhou, and on the spot he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Aid Shaanxi Feng army. Li Jinglin was also appointed as a senator to aid the Shaanxi Fengjun Command.

However, Li Jinglin felt that Zhang Zuolin was a big old man who could neither write nor fight, so he was not willing to be sent by him. Soon after, he transferred to the Anhui Department as a regimental commander. Later, because Xu Shuzheng was at odds with him, he switched to his direct lineage and defeated Xu Shuzheng in the Zhiwan War by relying on his superior military talents.

Going around and around, Li Jinglin, who was not ambitious, finally ate the grass and returned to Zhang Zuolin.

Zhang Zuolin knew that he was a talent, so he did not care about his previous suspicions, and still allowed him to take a heavy position, making him the commander of the Seventh Mixed Brigade.

In order to be able to mix up a sample, Li Jinglin is also very hard.

At that time, the Feng army was not only poorly disciplined, but also had weak combat effectiveness, and Zhang Zuolin had been trying to train the army into a modern army, but due to the lack of talent, it was delayed in achieving it.

Li Jinglin thought this was an opportunity, so he ruled the army with force. Not only did he organize martial arts squads in the brigades, regiments, and battalion headquarters under his jurisdiction, but he also personally taught martial arts every day to help soldiers achieve victory through martial arts in actual combat.

After continuous training, Li Jinglin's team soon became a crack general in the Feng army, and won many victories in battle. Zhang Zuolin was even more appreciative of Li Jinglin's talents, and he was constantly promoted, and by the time of the Zhifeng War, Li Jinglin had already been promoted to the post of military commander.

After the end of the First Zhifeng War, Li Jinglin garrisoned the town of Beizhen in Liaoning. Coincidentally, Song was the only one who was living in seclusion here. So Li Jinglin continued to learn the Wudang Sword from Song Alone. At this time, the only Song was already in the wind and candle. He not only taught the essence of the swordplay he had learned all his life, but also gave Li Jinglin the martial arts secrets he had written, such as the Wudang Sword Spectrum and the Sword-shaped Bagua Palm Score.

After Song's only guidance, Li Jinglin's sword technique grew a lot. There were very few sword techniques comparable to his sword skills in the martial arts, so he had been known as a "sword immortal" ever since.

At the same time that Li Jinglin's martial arts increased greatly, his life also embarked on the peak road after the victory of the second Zhifeng War. Because of his great merits in the unified army, he was made a directly subordinate official. For a time, he was highly powerful and had a very prominent position.

But for the achievements, Li Jinglin has never been grateful to Zhang Zuolin. After all, whether it was composition or martial arts, he was several times stronger than Zhang Zuolin. Therefore, he was not willing to live under the people, and secretly formed an anti-Feng alliance with Guo Songling and Feng Yuxiang. Unfortunately, the people's hearts were not united, not only did they fail to serve the attempt, but in the end, even the existing positions were also stripped away.

After Li Jinglin went to the field, he devoted himself to the development of martial arts. He first set up a museum in Shanghai to teach apprentices. Later, he strongly advocated the practice of martial arts for the whole people, and used his military status to help Zhang Zhijiang establish the Central Guoshu Museum.

After the establishment of the Central National Art Museum, in order to tap more high-end martial arts talents, Zhang Zhijiang is ready to hold a martial arts national examination for the whole country. However, it was difficult for qiao women to cook without rice, and the National Government originally did not approve of the establishment of the National Art Museum, so it was even more impossible to allocate funds for activities. In desperation, Zhang Zhijiang and others could only think of their own ways.

Although Zhang Jinglin has served as a warlord and the commander of a province, he does not have any savings. So in a hurry, he found the leaders of the Green Gang, Jin Rong and Du Yuesheng, and half jokingly and half seriously proposed that they each contribute 50,000 yuan to support the martial arts national examination, and when they finished, they gently placed the pistol on the table. I also added that you are big hooligans, and I will be a big bandit this time. Frightened, Jin Rong and Du Yuesheng had no choice but to say that everything was good to discuss.

Later, Du Yuesheng found Zhang Jingjiang, chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Government. Finally, Zhang Jingjiang said that the Zhejiang Provincial Government would study it. Coupled with Li Jinglin's underworld friend Cao Youshan interceding, Jin Jinrong and Du Yuesheng finally paid 20,000 yuan each to solve this "extortion incident" with dignity.

After the end of the martial arts national examination, Li Jinglin, with his superb swordsmanship, together with Sun Lutang and Li Shuwen, became the "three masters" of the martial arts world ("Martial Saint" Sun Lutang, "Sharp Gun" Li Shuwen, and "Sword Immortal" Li Jinglin). It can be said that his martial arts are very powerful.

Suddenly, martial arts enthusiasts who wanted to learn the art of Li Jinglin were endless.

Li Jinglin broke the rule that Wudang swordplay leaflets did not pass on doubles, and founded the Shandong Guoshu Museum in Jinan, and served as the curator, mainly teaching Wudang swordsmanship. He did not have excessive requirements for his apprentices, as long as he had the ambition to learn martial arts and had good moral character, he could become his student and get his true transmission.

In 1931, at the age of 47, Li Jinglin suddenly died of dysentery. Because of the suddenness of the incident, many people have speculated about the cause of his death. But suffering from the lack of evidence, so until now, Li Jinglin's death is still a mystery. After all, the Tangtang Sword Immortal was actually killed by a dysentery, which was somewhat unreasonable.
