Western sword masters are no worse than The Great Eastern Heroes, and in addition to weapons, they also play engineering and diplomacy
The great hero for the country and the people is a fairy tale in the martial arts world, and there have been powerful ranger forces and ranger leaders in Chinese history, but most of these characters are villains in today's Chinese, such as Liu Bang, Zhang Er, Yingbu, Peng Yue at the time of the Qin and Han Dynasties, such as Dong Zhuo (Dong Zhuo has the name of Jianxia) and Yuan Shao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the modern history of the West, a powerful group was also born, that is, the master of swordsmanship, who can be completely different from the style of painting in film and television dramas.
For example, Lü Bu at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was regarded as a swordsman by Wang Yun, and the Jingchu swordsmen privately recruited by Li Ling were also masters of playing with bows and crossbows.
Western sword masters are also all-rounders, and the content of Professor Fiore, the Italian master of calligraphy in the early 15th century, is diverse, including freehand wrestling, dagger (not only has the technique of stabbing people with the dagger, but also the technique of fighting with the dagger with the bare hand, the dagger against the dagger against the long sword), the one-handed sword, the two-handed sword, the stick technique, the immediate spear, the immediate sword technique, the immediate barehand grappling, etc., especially worth mentioning is that his sword technique and wrestling and grappling techniques are well combined, and the disciples are difficult to entangle without weapons. Fiore's disciples were either nobles leading troops to battle or sword-headed mercenary leaders, who had to deal not only with battlefields but also with street raids and mixed duels of various weapons subjects (mixed duels can have a variety of unblasnched weapons competitions), which needed a variety of needs, and Fiore could make them pay for it.
Fiore's disciple mercenary captain Guendoza lived in France and Venice successively (there were mansions in Venice), leaving behind famous battle stories that fully reflected the tactical characteristics of Fiore's faction. Gondoza began a duel with Boucicault because of the insults to Italy by the famous French knight Boucicaut. Boucicourt was a famous loser at the Battle of Agincourt and the most famous knight in France at the time, defeating 30 knights in a row at the Saint-Angelvelle Tournament. After the duel began, the impulsive Boucicault did not take the mounted gun and the long axe to directly PK with Gondoza, only to be hit in the helmet by a blow from Gondoza, almost fainting. The angry Boucicot wanted to return to the field with a hungry axe, which was persuaded by the surrounding lords. In addition to a variety of weapons, Fiore also engaged in diplomacy, he had been hired by the local lords of Ferrara, Mondeena, Parma and other places, and he had been the master of swordsmanship of these lords, and he could use his relationship with many mercenary disciples to conduct diplomacy, and he was known as a diplomat.
Equally versatile is the Italian fencing master Agrippa, who also works part-time as a mathematician and architectural engineer. He was the first to invent concepts such as beats commonly used in fencing technology today, in addition to introducing concepts such as geometry, physics, and human body mechanics into fencing technology, drawing a geometric sword spectrum that makes the mathematical slag head bigger. As a master swordsman at the time, Agrippa was also proficient in freehand combat techniques such as wrestling. The old man has strong killing skills, but he really doesn't rely on this to make a lot of money. The old man has done renovations with Michelangelo, will restore the ancient buildings of the Roman Empire, the customer is either the pope or the duke, the marquis; will also build a military fortress, and the fortress built by the Knights Hospitaller will pit the Ottoman army "don't want it". Agrippa could also make no less money from drawings than Michelangelo, and he could draw accurate nautical and astrological charts, which at the time were worth thousands of gold coins and could buy a palace in Venice. If Agrippa had been used, he would have been able to handle most of the courses of the Renaissance military polytechnic schools, sword schools, and navigation schools alone.
During the Renaissance, Western sword masters either had mercenary leaders as disciples or themselves participated in the war as mercenaries. The famous Spanish swordsman Pietro Monti (who was often mistaken for an Italian swordsman because he was mixed in Italy) participated in the war between Venice and France, and was eventually killed on the battlefield. These sword masters had a lot of craftsmanship, had a lot of contact with the celebrities of the time, and were more fortunate that westerners had discovered and reproduced their skills, and in this regard they were luckier than their eastern counterparts.
