General Xu Shiyou's great achievements are worthy of being the founding general, and his martial arts are also widely praised, which is the golden sign of Shaolin martial arts.
There is also an old Red Army kung fu in our army at least not weaker than Xu Shiyou, this old Red Army is still a woman, and her martial arts kung fu is on par with Xu Shiyou's Shaolin kung fu.
General Xu Shiyou went to Shaolin Temple at the age of eight to become a monk, and he was a small warrior monk in Shaolin Temple for eight years.
The martial arts after going down the mountain are, of course, not in the same dimension as martial artists like Master Ma.
And the female Red Army He Ziyou we are talking about did not become a Taoist aunt on Wudang Mountain, and her Wudang inheritance came from a wonderful opportunity.
This chance gave her a real kung fu, and she left a lot more kung fu legends than General Xu Shiyou, and it is rumored that the two have fought once.
He Ziyou is a native of Langzhong in Sichuan, and she was born in a poor peasant family who often can't open the pot.
According to her family's economic situation, it is rare for her to even have the opportunity to go to the county seat, let alone travel thousands of miles to Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province to practice martial arts.
However, Wudang, as a Taoist holy mountain, has more than one in the country. Wudang means that Xuanwu can afford it, and many mountains that meet this condition are called Wudang Mountain by cultivators.
Cangxi County, which is less than 28 kilometers away from Langzhong, is the famous Xiwudang Mountain.
Cangxi County is full of Taoist temples and has always been a famous Taoist hometown.
Xiwudang is the holy place of preaching by Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, and Taoist martial arts has a profound foundation in Xiwudang.
Because it is in the Cangxi area, He Ziyou's hometown also has a boxing gym that teaches Taoist martial arts.
But the boxing gym doesn't seem to have anything to do with He Ziyou, don't say that she is a girl, even if she is a boy, according to the old saying that she is poor and does not practice martial arts, her family can't afford to pay for the gym.
If you practice martial arts and polish your body every day, injuries are as frequent as eating, and where can poor families afford medical expenses
。 Moreover, the physical consumption of martial arts is large, and it is necessary to eat more and eat well and nutrition to keep up, which is another obstacle for the poor to practice martial arts.
So if He Ziyou didn't have a strange fate, how could he become a kung fu master. And her strange fate is precisely because her family is too poor.
If it weren't for the fact that the family was too poor, who would be willing to send a little girl to the gym to work as a handyman.
He Ziyou went to the boxing gym to work as a handyman to subsidize the family at a young age, and was fortunate to meet a boxer who was not harsh.
When she finishes her work with her hands and feet, she can play with her daughter, who is the same age as the boxer, without restraint.
The boxer is a spoiled female maniac, and he usually observes that He Ziyou is very good to his daughter, and he is also suitable for practicing martial arts, so he no longer lets her do chores, and accepts her as an apprentice for free to teach her martial arts.
He Ziyou is too young to understand the role of martial arts in troubled times, but she likes to practice martial arts by nature, and the boxer is a top master of Taihe martial arts.
In 1933, when He Ziyou was twenty years old, the Red Fourth Front Army marched to northern Sichuan.
He Ziyou, who was born in a poor family, was naturally close to the Red Army.
And He Ziyou's father was killed for participating in the revolution, which aroused her anger of revenge and made her join the ranks of the Red Army without hesitation.
He Ziyou became a soldier in the Women's Regiment of the Red Fourth Front Army, which was earlier and more formal than the Hainan Red Women's Army.
Once He Ziyou followed a team of women's groups to carry out a mission, and suddenly a group of bandits surrounded them on the way.
The bandits dared to surround the Red Army, just to see that these Red Army soldiers were all women, and the weapons were only pikes.
If you don't pinch this kind of soft persimmon, what kind of bandit are you doing.
The bandits were waiting for the female Red Army to hand over the money and choose a few more ladies to suppress the village, when they saw He Ziyou walking out of the team calmly.
When the ordinary bandits saw He Ziyou walking towards them alone, they only felt that this female Red Army was bold.
But the bandit leader is also a person who practices martial arts, and at a glance he can see that He Ziyou is light but very solid, obviously a practitioner, and his eyes can't help but be a little more awe-inspiring.
Connoisseurs will look at the doorway, and He Ziyou can also see that the bandit leader has kung fu.
She hugged her fist to the bandit leader and said that it was better to use her kung fu to end today's matter if she was a person who practiced martial arts, and she lost the Red Army and handed over her weapons and property, and if she won, she passed unconditionally.
The bandit leader was a little hesitant, he felt that He Ziyou's kung fu was good, and he was not sure whether he could win.
But the other party was a woman, and she didn't dare to fight his boss and couldn't erase her face, so in the end she had to agree to He Ziyou.
As soon as the two fought, the bandit leader struck first, and his body jumped up and swung his fist straight at He Ziyou's door.
He Ziyou flashed dexterously, dodged the powerful fist, and hit the bandit leader with a punch that made the bandit leader avoid.
Before the bandit leader could stand firm, He Ziyou struck with another punch.
This trick is the true inheritance she has learned, and the grasp of timing and the Tao of fist power are perfectly coordinated, and the bandit leader is immediately knocked to the ground.
The female Red Army cheered, and the bandit leader stood up with shame on his face, hugged his fists and thanked He Ziyou for keeping his hand, and then took the bandits away in embarrassment.
When the Red Fourth Front Army moved towards Songpan, the women's regiment was attacked by a group of mountain bandits.
This time, He Ziyou caught up with the king of the mountain alone, and with his kung fu, he knocked over and captured the five big and three thick mountain kings, and made new contributions to the smooth passage of the women's group.
In his free time, He Ziyou became a martial arts instructor in the women's group.
Under her tutelage, the women's regiment has been strengthened in combat.
General Xu Shiyou was already a commander of the Red Fourth Front Army in 1935, and according to legend, he went to He Ziyou to learn because he heard the deeds of He Ziyou knocking over a horse with one punch when he was in Yan'an.
The main force of the Red Fourth Front Army left Yan'an for the Western Expedition, but was repeatedly intercepted by the Ma Jiajun, and finally the team was broken up, and many female Red Army soldiers were captured by the Ma Jiajun.
He Ziyou also encountered this kind of danger, when a lone army of the women's regiment was surrounded by the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun, and the Ma Jiajun thought that these female Red Army had become their bag.
But He Ziyou was secretly waiting for the opportunity, she quietly approached a cavalryman of the Ma Jiajun, and struck a blow with all her strength at the war horse, knocking the war horse to the ground and screaming.
The other horses were frightened and raised their hooves in a frenzy, and the cavalry suddenly fell into chaos.
The female Red Army took the opportunity to snatch the enemy's weapons, and after a bloody battle, they broke through the enemy's encirclement.
After returning to Yan'an, General Xu Shiyou was interested when he heard about this incident, and found He Ziyou to have a friendly discussion.
The two of them seemed to have passed two moves, and they would stop with a smile, and they would not tell the people watching the battle what the outcome would be.
Many years later, General Xu Shiyou said that he would serve Premier Zhou on the amount of alcohol, and He Ziyou on fists.
With Xu Shiyou's comment, He Ziyou's title of He Tiequan is worthy of its name.
In addition to kung fu, He Ziyou's double guns are also a hundred shots. However, since He Ziyou's husband, Zhou Zikun, deputy chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, died in the Southern Anhui Incident, she has been engaged in logistics work until her retirement in 1969.
