When it comes to the word martial arts, many Chinese people feel surging with blood, which is considered by many people to be one of the national essences, too far away for us to know, but in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were still many masters, and there were also many actual combat records, beating foreign masters in the ring.
But there is a very strange phenomenon, why in the repeated aggressions of foreigners against China, no martial arts master has come forward? Are these people all flower racks?
In fact, it is not right to say so, after all, many warlords hired masters as bodyguards or martial arts instructors, the most famous of which was General Feng Yuxiang. These warlords are not stupid, the most pragmatic in the chaotic world, if some charlatans want to use some flower fists to embroider legs to fool, I am afraid that they will be dragged out and killed immediately.
And at that time, the practice of martial arts still attached great importance to actual combat ability, most of them were masters, and then hard training, some sects had to practice a lifetime of one move, practicing gun skills a day to plunge hundreds of times, and only after a few years began to learn the next skill.
After this hard work, it can naturally beat ordinary people, after all, the muscles are not on a level.

At that time, although there were also swindling bastards, after all, there were also real masters, why did no one stand up and slaughter the invaders?
In fact, the answer can be found from the performance of some masters when the Eight-Power Alliance invaded China.
After the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, many masters chose to flee, such as Li Cunyi, the master of Shape and Yi Fist, who ran to Shanxi with his disciples, and only Cheng Tinghua, the master of bagua, stayed in the capital.
Cheng Tinghua later clashed with the invading Germans and was shot and killed indiscriminately. Cheng Tinghua was a well-known number one person at that time, and many people heard of his reputation and challenged him, and they were all defeated by Cheng.
In the hearts of many people, Cheng Tinghua was also the first master of the capital at that time, and it was rumored in the streets and alleys that his wandering gossip was flowing in the clouds, the knife could not be cut, the water could not be splashed, and finally he was shot and killed by foreign devils, and the loss caused in the hearts of the Chinese people can be imagined.
"Cheng Zhi Bagua, the fame of wulin is very famous, and everyone who speaks gossip palms, almost all know the glasses Cheng Ye."

As the saying goes, no matter how high the martial arts, they are afraid of kitchen knives. That's very true, the kitchen knife is still like this, let alone the bullet.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Du Xinwu, a great hero of the North and South, lived in Beijing and saw the Japanese driving tanks to crush three innocent children, and although he was angry, he did not shoot, because he knew that no matter how strong he was, he could not defeat the tanks. After returning home, he wrote down "The motherland is sinking and weeping bitterly, and compatriots should rise up and save their lives" to inspire the people.
Du Xinwu is a famous master, who once served as a bodyguard for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and absolutely has real materials, but in the face of guns, the only thing he can do is to "cry bitterly", which shows the helplessness in the hearts of those patriotic martial arts masters.

On the Japanese side, they have long been preparing for war, their bayonet fighting method is more particular about actual combat killing, and the Japanese are extremely cruel, in the occupied areas often use local people, prisoners to do live test stabbing, their degree of ferocity can be seen.
The ability of Japanese soldiers to fight bayonets is among the best in the world, why do Japanese people love to fight bayonets with us during World War II? Because the impact of close combat on people is the greatest, Japanese officers have found through operations with China that if it is an artillery attack from a distance, Chinese can hold the position for a long time, but once the short troops are connected, the Chinese will collapse and escape very quickly.
After all, the surrounding is full of wailing, screaming, the eyes are bloody, the average person is unbearable, at this point the Japanese are a bit perverted, early on the living people have done experiments, the ability to resist pressure in the heart is much stronger.
A master who does not want to kill faces a stalking and fierce enemy, and it is really difficult to predict whether he will win or lose.
In the end, street fighting is completely different from group fighting, in fact, Master Jin Yong mentioned such a sentence in the novel.
Xiao Feng is strong enough, right? In Tianlong, he basically never encountered an enemy, but when he helped Yelü Hongji quell the rebellion of the Heavy Yuan, he witnessed the tragic situation on the battlefield and could not help but sigh:
"A person who makes you invincible in the world of martial arts, but among these tens of millions of horses, it is useless, at most it is only to protect your own life."
No matter how strong the martial arts master is, he will not be stronger than Xiao Feng, right? Besides, this is still the era of hot weapons.
"Such a large army is fighting, and the group fighting in the martial arts is not comparable to the Japanese language."
Elder Jin saw it quite thoroughly.
