“
Chinese kung fu is simply vulnerable, and no one in China dares to fight with me.
”
In 1945, in front of Chiang Kai-shek's mansion,
U.S. five-star Admiral Marshall's bodyguard Tom
Speaking very arrogantly in the ring.
The crowd was furious, but they did not dare to come forward to compete with him.
Because before that, Tom had defeated several masters in a row, one of whom was the company commander of Feng Yuxiang's special agent company.
Just then, someone shouted,
"The 'Hero of the Yangtze River' is coming!"
People began to cheer, and their mouths kept shouting "Yangtze River Hero".
Only one
An old man with gray hair and a long beard
He went to the ring to compete with Tom.
Tom was very dismissive and threw a punch at the old man. The old man's eyes were fast, and he dodged his attack.
The audience cheered, and an angry Tom attacked the man again.
After a few rounds, the old man was gone
Knock Tom to the ground
。
So, who is this old man? Why does he have such a great kung fu?
True heroes since ancient times
This one
The old man's name was Lü Zijian
He was born in 1893 in Yichang, Hubei Province, to a martial arts family whose parents were well-known warriors in the jianghu.
Growing up in such a family environment, Lü Zijian also slowly showed interest in martial arts. However, due to his frail health at birth, his mother did not allow him to learn martial arts.
When Lü Zijian was three years old, when he saw his father practicing his sword in the courtyard, he picked up the branch that had fallen to the side and began to compare it according to his father's appearance.
It just so happened that Lü Zijian's mother came out to see this scene, and her heart was greatly shocked, she and her husband had not taught her son sword technique, he just followed other people's moves, how could he practice so well?
Afterwards, his mother told Lü Zijian's father about this matter, and his father felt that since he had such a good talent in martial arts, it was better to send him to study under a famous master.
But her mother did not agree, she felt that Lü Zijian's body was weak, and those martial arts masters would definitely not accept him as a sick seedling, but it was better to teach him some kung fu first, and then let him study under the famous masters when he had a certain martial arts foundation.
When my father heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then said, "This is also a good idea, so let you teach it first." ”
In this way, Lü Zijian began to learn martial arts under the guidance of his mother. Originally, her mother thought that Lü Zijian just wanted to learn martial arts on a whim, but in the process of teaching afterwards,
His mother found that he had an amazing talent for martial arts, and he could basically learn kung fu moves that only needed to be demonstrated by others a few times.
When Lü Zijian was 12 years old, his mother felt that she had nothing to give him, so she sent him to him
Wudang master Li Guocao studied martial arts there.
The first time Li Guocao saw Lü Zijian, he thought he was a martial arts wizard, so he accepted him.
But at first, Li Guocao did not teach him kung fu, but put him in charge of cleaning. He asked Lü Zijian to walk 1 kilometer every day with two buckets of water in both hands, and in the process, he was not allowed to change hands, let alone spill the water inside, from the mountainside to the main hall on the mountain.
Lü Zijian insisted on this for a month, and then Li Guocao put two small bowls filled with water in the bamboo bucket carrying water, and let Lü Zijian continue to carry water according to the previous requirements.
A year later,
The total weight of the water carried by Lü Zijian reached 100 catties,
even though
Walking on steep mountain trails is also like walking on the ground.
The reason why Li Guocao did this was to exercise the strength of Lü Zijian's arms and lay the foundation for him to learn Wudang boxing later.
After that, Li Guocao began to teach him Wudang NeijiaQuan and Bagua Fist, as well as the Neigong Xin Method.
After Li Guocao finished teaching,
convenient
Let Lü Zijian go down the mountain for training.
After bidding farewell to Li Guocao, Lü Zijian returned home to show his parents the results of his studies. But his mother felt that his internal skills were inferior, so she let him
Go to Mount Emei and worship Li Changye as a teacher.
After resting at home for a few days, Lü Zijian embarked on the road to Mount Emei.
After a long journey, Lü Zijian finally came to Mount Emei and found Li Changye in the Jiulao Cave.
As soon as he saw Li Changye, Lü Zijian knelt down and begged him to accept himself as an apprentice, and Li Changye smiled and said, "Are you sure you want to worship me as a teacher?" ”
"Yes!" After speaking, Lü Zijian bowed his head to him.
"Since you want to worship me as your teacher, then I will accept you." However, I want to tell you that if you want to practice kung fu, you can't just have talent, you have to be able to bear hardships, can you think about it, the next life? Li Changye said with his beard covered.
"Master is on top, please accept the disciple's worship." Lü Zijian clasped his fists in both hands and said to Li Changye.
Hearing his words, Li Changye laughed loudly, and while laughing, he said: "The future life is terrible, and the future life is terrible!" ”
In this way, Lü Zijian officially entered Li Changye's door and began to learn internal gong mind methods, flying techniques, leaping and longitudinal techniques and other kung fu.
After 8 years of training, Lü Zijian had trained a good martial art.
The "Great Hero of the Yangtze River" punched the Japanese national hand
In 1916, Lü Zijian came down from Mount Emei after completing his studies.
Before descending the mountain, Li Changye said to Lü Zijian, "Do you know what is the meaning of our martial arts study?" ”
"Punish the good and eliminate the evil, uphold justice, and safeguard the dignity of the country." Lu Zijian replied.
"Well, that's good." Li Changye touched his beard, got up and walked outside the house, and said:
We who practice martial arts must always keep the dignity of the country in our hearts.
Learning martial arts is not only for the sake of strengthening the body, but also for the sake of strengthening the country. Now that you're going down the mountain to practice, I hope you'll remember that. ”
Lü Zijian "pounced" and knelt down, and then gave Li Changye three more prostrations, his eyes filled with tears, and said, "Master, the disciple will definitely remember Master's teachings." ”
Li Changye turned around, said only "Go", and walked straight back to the house.
Lü Zijian picked up his luggage and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.
However, at this time
The country is in turmoil, and the Western powers wantonly plunder China's land.
The people live in dire straits.
Some foreign trade organizations have also poured into China in large quantities.
Forcibly occupy China's transportation industry.
Chairman of Minsheng Steamship
Lu Zuofu did not want to see China's transportation industry controlled by the Western powers.
So they discussed with other patriotic businessmen how to regain the right to transport the Yangtze River.
However, Lu Zuofu's actions caused dissatisfaction among the Japanese consuls, who told the Japanese about it
Hideo Mitsui, Honbushikai-kai
I hope he can teach Lu Zuofu a lesson.
However, Lu Zuofu was not afraid after learning this news, because he had already invited Lü Zijian to protect himself.
When the Japanese consul heard that Lu Zuofu had invited Lü Zijian, he immediately told Hideo Mitsui.
After listening to It, Mitsui Hideo said very dismissively: "Just a little person with no name, there is nothing to be afraid of, Chinese are 'sick men of East Asia', and Chinese kung fu is even more vulnerable." Let me show them the power of Japanese judo. ”
A few days later, Mitsui Sent someone to send a challenge to Lü Zijian, agreeing that the two would compete in the Yichang Military Field, and whoever lost would give up the right to transport the yangtze River.
Lü Zijian directly threw the challenge book on the ground and said to the Japanese samurai who had come to lay down the battle book: "
Since you are bent on being beaten, I will fulfill you. ”
The Japanese samurai trembled with rage, and when he returned, he told Hideo Mitsui about it.
After listening to his words, Mitsui Hideo was so angry that he directly smashed everything on the table, punched him on the table, and said viciously, "Lü Zijian, I want you to die!" ”
On the day of the match, the two came to the ring.
When Mitsui Hideo saw Lü Zijian, he sneered and said, "Lü Zijian, if you concede defeat now, I can spare your life." ”
Lü Zijian did not pay attention to him,
An arrow rushed up and hit Hideo Mitsui in the face,
He said, "This is a meet and greet gift for you." ”
Mitsui Hideo's eyes were red with anger, and He was full of strength to slash at Lü Zijian. Lü Zijian took a step back and punched him in the nose, instantly bleeding profusely.
The onlookers in the audience, seeing this scene, laughed loudly.
At this time, Mitsui Hideo was completely enraged, and even picked up the knife on the side and slashed directly at Lü Zijian.
The crowd in the audience exclaimed, and quickly shouted: "Lu Daxia, quickly avoid it!" ”
But Lü Zijian not only did not dodge, but instead went straight up, using a move of Taijiquan to knock off the knife in the opponent's hand. Immediately after, he made another Bagua fist and hit Hideo Mitsui directly.
The two sides fought fiercely for dozens of rounds,
Hideo Mitsui's physical strength gradually weakened and fell into the downwind.
On the other hand, Lü Zijian was still full of energy and did not see any tiredness.
Suddenly, Lü Zijian looked at the gap and threw several punches at Hideo Mitsui, forcing him back to the edge of the ring. Then he used another tai chi move to pull him back to the center of the ring, then turned around and kicked him in the stomach. Before Hideo Mitsui could react, he was knocked to the ground.
ultimately
Lü Zijian won this contest with his own strength.
The crowd in the audience kept clapping their hands and cheering, shouting loudly Lu Zijian's name.
Since then, Lü Zijian has a new title
"Heroes of the Yangtze River"
Many people who love martial arts have worshiped under his door.
After the end of the competition, Lu Zuofu personally came to the door to express his gratitude to Lü Zijian and sent him a box of gold bars.
But Lü Zijian politely refused, saying, "This box of gold bars, you will help me distribute to those poor people." Besides, you don't have to thank me.
Those of us who practice martial arts originally want to put the dignity of the country in our hearts.
Lu Zijian's words made Lu Zuofu feel very guilty, and he stood up and hugged his fist at him and said, "Lü Daxia, I thank you for those people!" ”
Defeat the American bodyguard with one slap
Lü Zijian had always remembered what Master Li Changye had said to himself, and those who practiced martial arts should always keep the dignity of the country in their hearts.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lü Zijian served as one
The position of Instructor of the State Arts
He gave all his life's work to these warriors.
When some people saw him like this, they advised him not to give all his skills to others, saying that the disciples of the church starved the master to death, so as to leave a trick for themselves.
But Lü Zijian said very seriously, "Since you want to teach, then teach well.
I taught them more skills, they can kill one more enemy on the battlefield, and they can have one more way to live when they are chased by the enemy.
When the man heard this, he touched his nose with some embarrassment and slipped away.
Later, under the leadership of Feng Yuxiang, Lü Zijian became the director of anti-Japanese fundraising, leading his disciples to perform fundraising throughout the country.
A large amount of money was provided to the anti-Japanese army.
In 1945, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the entry of the Two Parties into a period of negotiations, the United States sent Marshall to assist the Two Parties in negotiations.
Marshall fought in two world wars and was a very influential political-military diplomat, earning the rank of five-star general. He also served as a military attaché in China and has a deep understanding of Chinese culture.
When he learned that Sun Yat-sen had two bodyguards to help him escape assassination from the outside world, he also found a tall, muscular bodyguard named Tom.
This Tom, like his boss Marshall, didn't believe Chinese, and after learning about Chinese martial arts, he said very dismissively: "
Chinese no, not even more so in Chinese martial arts.
When he followed Marshall to China, every place he went, he would set up a ring to challenge the local martial arts masters, and each time he won.
This also made Tom begin to feel a little proud, thinking that he was invincible in the world.
But soon, he tasted the pain.
When Marshall came to Chongqing, Tom set up a ring here as usual, and said that if anyone could win the battle, he would give him 3,000 yuan.
Such behavior is undoubtedly challenging the bottom line of the Chinese people.
So a coach from the Central Guard Corps and a platoon leader of Feng Yuxiang's secret service company took to the stage to challenge Tom.
However, both were knocked down by Tom.
Tom, who won two games in a row, stood in the ring very proudly, even
Very arrogant
He said, "No one in China can beat me, and Chinese kung fu just can't," and he burst out laughing.
The crowd looked at the arrogant and arrogant Tom in the ring and immediately became angry.
Just then, suddenly someone shouted,"
It's Lu Daxia, and it's the "Yangtze River Hero" coming!
Everyone looked down at the sound, only to see that Lu Zijian, dressed in a martial arts suit, had already stepped into the ring.
At this time, Lü Zijian was already 52 years old, and he was not afraid at all in the face of Tom, who was covered in tendon flesh.
Tom looked at the elderly Chinese man in front of him, his eyes were full of mockery and disdain, and said, "This master, have you taken the wrong path?" ”
"I didn't, I'm here to challenge you." After speaking, Lu Zijian pulled on his clothes and posed.
"Yankee, don't underestimate people, this is the 'Yangtze River Hero', one of China's 'Three Great Swordsmen' Lü Zijian." He comes, and you wait to die. The crowd shouted and applauded.
Tom, who heard the applause, said viciously: "It is death, but not me, it is him." ”
After saying that, he clenched his fists and swung at Lü Zijian, who was forced to retreat by the fierce fist wind.
"Good punches!" And then he retreated,
Turned three times in a row against the ring.
Tom, on the other hand, was a slap in the face, but
But it was a fist punch.
Annoyed and angry, Tom changed direction and raised his foot to kick at Lu Zijian.
Lü Zijian dodged along the trend, and then held his leg with a Tai Chi Bagua palm and knocked him to the ground.
Then he made a few more internal punches, beating Tom to a swollen nose.
Tom rolled around in the ring, dodging Lu Zijian's attack, then stood up and punched him, kicking the dust in the ring.
The audience was stunned.
But Lü Zijian did not fight back, but kept dodging, and he planned to use this to lure Tom to consume energy.
And so back and forth several rendezvouses,
Tom began to gasp for breath as he grew tired.
Lü Zijian looked at the timing and made a few gossip punches at Tom's key point. This kind of boxing is exquisite
Take soft grams hard
On the surface, there are no scars, but the internal organs and acupuncture meridians have been damaged.
At first, Tom took a few punches, feeling painless or itchy, but feeling powerless. But soon, he felt that something was wrong with his body, and his face turned miserable.
Taking advantage of this time, Lu Zijian slapped Tom's body with a slap. Tom suddenly fell to the ground, and the referee on the side blew the whistle and waved the flag in his hand to announce the end of the game.
The crowd in the audience instantly boiled over, him
They clapped their hands and cheered, and Chinese Kung Fu defeated the United States.
Soon, Tom was carried out of the ring and sent back to the apartment.
However, at this time, Tom spat out white foam
, only the outgoing air, not the incoming gas.
After a while, there was no breathing.
As for Lü Zijian, he brushed his clothes and hid his merits and names deeply.
