"Kill one person in ten steps, and leave no line for thousands of miles." The thing whisked away, hiding deep with the name. ”
In martial arts novels and various film and television dramas, we often see various heroes Haojie and Ouchi masters.
They are highly skilled in martial arts, punish evil and promote good, and defend the safety of the imperial city in the imperial palace with one enemy and one hundred in war. However, with the development of various guns and ammunition, fewer and fewer people insist on practicing martial arts, and figures such as Ouchi masters have gradually disappeared from our lives.
The last great master of the Qing Dynasty was Gong Baotian, who was famous at the time, and many film characters were based on Gong Baotian, and General Xu Shiyou also visited him personally. Therefore, many people can't help but wonder how high Gong Baotian's martial arts are?
The division is famous and talented
Gong Baotian was born in Qingshan Village, Mashidian Town, Rushan City, Shandong Province, to farmers. When Miyakata was a child, his parents wanted him to read and write, and sent Miyahota to a private school to study. However, as the pressure of life increased, Gong Baotian had to drop out of school to make a living, so he did not have the opportunity to study.
After dropping out of school, Gong Baotian was introduced to a rice shop as an apprentice, although the income was not high, but it could relieve the pressure of the whole family. Later, Gong Baotian was arranged to send rice to the palace, and after a long time, he met Yin Fu, who changed Gong Baotian's life.
Yin Fu was a proud disciple of Dong Haichuan, the governor of the Great Interior at the time, and his martial arts skills were very skilled. He admired Gong Baotian very much, and under the guidance of Yin Fu, Gong Baotian successfully entered dong Haichuan's name and learned martial arts around him. Due to the poor living conditions when he was young, compared with those rich children, Gong Baotian was not squeamish and lazy at all, but hard-working and had a high level of understanding.
Later, Gong Baotian received the true transmission of Dong Haichuan and became the second generation of the Bagua Secret Sect and the Bagua Fist Spectrum. Gong Baotian was very diligent on weekdays, and his uncles liked to teach Gong Baotian all kinds of unique skills, plus Gong Baotian himself was intelligent and sensitive, and soon he was famous in the capital. Because Gong Baotian was short in stature and plain in appearance, but he was excellent in martial arts, people called him "Palace Monkey".
Gong Baotian was plain-looking and came from a poor background, and in that society at that time, it was difficult to have the opportunity to change his fate. However, when the opportunity came, he firmly seized it and walked out of a completely different life by his own efforts. Bó Lè is important, but we should also constantly improve ourselves so that we can become Maxima.
Ouchi master, the wind and clouds
After Gong Baotian became famous, many people wanted to pull him under their doors. But Gong Baotian was dong Haichuan's proud protégé after all, so he still chose the same path as his master.
During the Guangxu period, Miyōda was summoned to the palace as the head of the guard, responsible for guarding the safety of Miyagi. During his tenure, he devoted himself to the safety of the royal family and was highly valued and appreciated by the authorities.
If the Qing government can assume the heavy responsibility of protecting the country and loving the people, then Gong Baotian will certainly do his best to protect the royal family like his master. However, a series of events that happened later completely changed Gong Baotian's view of the Qing government.
When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Empress Dowager Cixi fled with the Guangxu Emperor, and Gong Baotian was ordered to guard their safety, although he did not approve of the Qing government's actions in his heart, Gong Baotian still tried his best to protect their safety, and because of his outstanding performance in this mission, Gong Baotian was once again added to the rank of knight.
Gong Baotian was given the title of "Yellow Horse Coat" by the Guangxu Emperor, and his position was gradually promoted. However, after this, he proposed to resign and go into hiding. Although it was his original wish to protect the imperial city, Gong Baotian saw too much corruption and incompetence of the Qing government during his tenure as an official, and he was unwilling to do things against his original intentions, so he had to resign from the government and go into hiding.
Although Gong Baotian had not read too many books, he had the courage and righteousness of a martial arts practitioner. He was not accustomed to the Qing government's insistence on peace, weak and incompetent, but powerless, and had to resign and return to his hometown. This seemed to be Gong Baotian's impulsive move, but it was actually the best choice after his deliberation.
Out of the blue, full of righteousness
After Gong Baotian returned to his hometown, he did not give up learning martial arts, but established his own school, recruiting some students who had the intention of learning martial arts and teaching them the essentials of his martial arts. For some students from poor backgrounds, Gong Baotian would often send them some daily necessities and try his best to help them.
Later, Zhang Zuolin invited Gong Baotian to take up a post at his side. However, when he saw Gong Baotian, Zhang Zuolin was very disappointed in his heart. He imagined that Gong Baotian should be a burly person, but he did not expect that the person in front of him was thin and weak, looking weak and could not help the wind, Zhang Zuolin could not help but begin to wonder whether Gong Baotian's martial arts were as superb as the legend.
Gong Baotian saw Zhang Zuolin's thoughts clearly and took the initiative to ask to compete with him. Gong Baotian learned that Zhang Zuolin's marksmanship was accurate, so he offered to let Zhang Zuolin shoot him with a gun.
Zhang Zuolin was very confident in his marksmanship, but he did not expect that after firing two shots in a row, he could no longer see the figure of Gong Baotian, and looked back to find that the other party had stood behind him.
After this incident, Zhang Zuolin admired Gong Baotian and often took him with him. After Zhang Zuolin offended the Japanese, he was deeply troubled many times. Gong Baotian has always been by Zhang Zuolin's side, helping him to overcome dangers many times. However, during Gong Baotian's order to guard Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese, and Gong Baotian was deeply saddened by the news and once again chose to return to his hometown.
After returning to his hometown, Gong Baotian devoted himself to the development of his own education, he recruited a large number of apprentices and taught them martial arts, and Gong Baotian was praised by the people in his hometown.
Later, General Xu Shiyou made a special trip to visit Gong Baotian and express his admiration to him. In the process of talking with Gong Baotian, General Xu Shiyou could not help but feel that Gong Baotian was not only a person with superb martial arts, but also a hero full of patriotic feelings.
It turned out that General Xu Shiyou had learned Shaolin boxing when he was young, and he had heard stories about Gong Baotian when he was young, and he admired Gong Baotian in his heart. After the meeting, Gong Baotian unreservedly demonstrated the Bagua Fist and the Bagua Knife to General Xu Shiyou, and the two of them talked happily at first sight. This is an exchange between different martial arts, and it is also the sympathy and appreciation of two patriots.
brief summary:
Feng Menglong once said: "Boys do not show their ambitions, and they are born with an eight-foot body."
Gong Baotian was the last Great Inner Master of the Qing Dynasty, and his martial arts were exquisite and amazing. He used his superb martial arts to protect the safety of Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor, and then rescued Zhang Zuolin in danger many times, and General Xu Shiyou personally visited him.
But all this is not only because of his martial arts, but more importantly, because of his personal morality and patriotism. Whether Gong Baotian was protecting the Guangxu Emperor or Zhang Zuolin, he put patriotism first and never forgot his original intention.
