Six of the top ten marshals know martial arts, who is better in martial arts?
Let's not talk about anything else, in fact, Ye Shuai is very good at sword and sword kung fu, he once slashed Japan's martial arts master, and he is famous in Yunnan Martial Arts Hall!
However, few people know this.
Marshals who are good at martial arts
First of all, let's take a look at these six marshals who know martial arts, namely Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, He Long and Chen Yi, Liu Bocheng and Ye Jianying.
It may seem a little strange here, although Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, and He Long are all notoriously fierce generals, and it seems reasonable that they can do martial arts.
But the three marshals, such as Liu Bocheng, Chen Yi and Ye Jianying, seem to be more inclined to the temperament of Confucian generals and strategists, and they all look gentle and elegant on weekdays, have a smile on everyone, and sometimes chant poems and write articles.
But I never thought that these three marshals were all both civil and military, and they had unique skills, what was going on?
Take Marshal Chen Yi, the most famous literary and talented Marshal among these three Confucian generals, Chen Yi is humorous, quite talented, but amiable, and the sentence "I went to Huangquan to recruit the old department, and I raised the banner of 100,000 to kill Yama", which shows the pride of many revolutionaries.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Chen Yi should be from an iron-clad liberal arts background, and he doesn't use knives and guns.
But in fact, Chen Yi is not the kind of weak scholar that everyone imagines, he has always advocated the development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor, and he has loved to strengthen his body since he was a child.
Even until he retired when he was old, Marshal Chen Yi always insisted on using traditional martial arts such as Tai Chi to maintain his health.
Of course, it is precisely because Chen Yi only uses martial arts as a tool to strengthen his body, so his martial arts must not be compared with those martial arts masters, but compared to ordinary people, he is still slightly better.
There is also Marshal Liu Bocheng who we are familiar with, compared to Chen Yi's Taijiquan, it is much more real.
Don't look at Marshal Liu Bocheng's low-key weekdays, and he doesn't have the temperament of a military general, but in fact, as early as when Liu Bocheng was six years old, he worshipped Shi Dakai's generals as martial arts masters, and followed his master to learn the Taiping saber technique since he was a child.
Later, on the battlefield, Liu Bocheng also used the big knife to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy, and he was always able to win in hand-to-hand combat with the professional broadsword technique and deep martial arts foundation.
However, due to Liu Bocheng's low-key nature, he never liked to show off his martial arts, and when he became a senior leader later, he didn't have to go to the front line to fight, so naturally he didn't need any martial arts.
It is precisely because of Liu Bocheng's low profile that outsiders have created the illusion that he does not know martial arts, and people have paid more attention to his extraordinary military talent.
After all, Liu Bocheng is known as the military god of the People's Liberation Army, using soldiers like a god, and his brain is quite smart. And in addition to being smart, Liu Bocheng also has one thing that ordinary people can't reach, that is, perseverance.
However, in the process of surgery, in order to avoid the damage to the brain caused by anesthetic, Liu Bocheng insisted on being completely awake without anesthetic, and suffered more than 70 knives.
But after thinking about it, if ordinary people don't take so many knives with anesthetics, it is estimated that half of their lives will be scared away, but Liu Bocheng is so light and light, it is enough to see that he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the strong body he has forged, as well as the will beyond ordinary people, can still come in handy at a critical juncture.
As for Ye Jianying, don't look at him as a "Confucian general", even Chairman Mao compares him to the image of a strategist like Zhuge Liang, but in fact, compared with the first two generals, Ye Jianying can be regarded as a truly orthodox martial arts master.
Because he was born in a family of martial arts, and his ancestors have practiced martial arts for generations, so under the influence of the family mission, Ye Jianying was sent to the Yunnan Martial Arts Hall, which was quite famous at that time, from a very young age.
It is said that education should start from the baby, Ye Jianying, under the dual influence of school and ancestors, not only laid a deep foundation in martial arts, but also studied sword kung fu quite deeply.
At that time, there was a Japanese martial arts instructor who looked down on them as Chinese students.
Master of Japanese martial arts
Because as we all know, Japan admires the spirit of bushido, and is quite obsessed with cold weapons such as swords.
This Japanese martial arts instructor is said to be a fairly famous sword master in Japan, and his stunt of shaking the knife is said to be invincible all over the world, and no one can break it at all.
Because of this, this Japanese martial arts instructor is quite arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, and has repeatedly preached in class that there is no Chinese in the martial arts hall who will be his opponent.
And this sentence also deeply stung Ye Jianying's national pride, so he made up his mind to defeat this Japanese instructor and make him realize that our Chinese martial arts will not be worse than their only Japan.
So, Ye Jianying began to hone his swordsmanship frantically day and night, and a Korean classmate in the same dormitory was also very unaccustomed to the style of the Japanese instructor, after hearing about Ye Jianying's plan, this Korean classmate immediately excitedly offered to be Ye Jianying's sparring partner.
After a few months of hard work, Ye Jianying's swordsmanship finally made a qualitative leap, not only that, but Ye Jianying also successfully found a way to crack the Japanese instructor's "shaking knife" stunt through careful observation of the Japanese instructor.
So Ye Jianying quickly found a Japanese instructor to duel, and for a while, all the teachers and students in the school were boiling, and they came to watch and speculate whether Ye Jianying won or lost.
This Japanese instructor has always been arrogant and arrogant, so naturally he will not take Ye Jianying's challenge seriously, and he even ridiculed Ye Jianying for being overpowered.
However, as the duel began, the Japanese instructor gradually began to sweat, because he soon found that every trick he had made was successfully resolved by Ye Jianying!
Not only that, Ye Jianying also quickly turned defense into offense, and used the "vibrating knife" stunt that only a Japanese instructor is good at, and used his own way to govern others!
Seeing Ye Jianying pressing forward step by step, the Japanese instructor was in a big mess, and if he was not careful, he was taken advantage of by Ye Jianying, and without any obstacles, he slashed at the neck of the Japanese instructor, only five centimeters, which frightened the Japanese instructor into a cold sweat.
With the thunderous applause in the crowd, the proud Japanese instructor in the past suddenly languished like a defeated rooster, and had to admit that his skills were inferior to others and he was willing to gamble and lose.
It is said that in order to show his convincingness, the Japanese instructor also specially gave Ye Shuai a knife.
Ye Shuai, who returned from school, also served as Sun Yat-sen's guard.
You must know that it is very dangerous to be a bodyguard for a high-risk person of Sun Yat-sen's level, and the requirements for the guards' martial arts and physical fitness are quite high, but Ye Jianying can easily do it, which shows the depth of Ye Jianying's kung fu.
It's just that Ye Jianying, who participated in the revolution, mainly served as a staff officer and political worker, so it also gave people the illusion that Ye Shuai was a general, but in fact, Ye Shuai was also a hidden martial arts master!
It is worth mentioning that Zhu De, known as the "father of the Red Army", is also like Ye Jianying, who went to Yunnan to practice martial arts in the early years, and also worked as a physical education teacher.
The foundation of the family, coupled with Mr. Zhu's own body, is also strong, so when he was young, Mr. Zhu did a dozen things.
Mr. Zhu also paid special attention to the physical fitness of the revolution, and when leading the soldiers, he often creatively combined physical training with military training, so the physical fitness of the soldiers who came out of his hands was all good, and only then could they survive the particularly arduous crossing of snowy mountains and meadows.
For example, when the Red Army was first established, Mr. Zhu was 42 years old, but his skills were still stronger than many young soldiers, and he easily won the pole vault more than three meters high that many young soldiers could not jump.
Because of this, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the position of director of the National Sports Commission naturally fell on Mr. Zhu.
It is said that even when Mr. Zhu went to climb the mountain when he was seventy years old, he was effortlessly as light as a swallow and did not use crutches, but his young daughter and the guards were so tired and out of breath that they could not keep up with his pace at all.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhu criticized his daughter quite dissatisfied:
"I can't walk at such a young age, how can I serve the people when I'm my age? To serve the people, you must not only have a red heart, but also a strong body! ”
With such a strong physical fitness, it is no wonder that Mr. Zhu lived to be 90 years old in that era of difficult conditions!
Fierce generals
Unlike Mr. Zhu, who pays attention to martial arts training but has a gentle and honest personality on weekdays, Marshal He Long is a well-known fierce general among the top ten marshals, and the deeds of the revolution with two kitchen knives have long been familiar.
This is because Mr. He is also from a martial arts family, and his ancestors even had martial arts people, so Marshal He Long was born with a military general gene, and when he was young, he not only easily beat a group of people by himself, but even smashed a big pumpkin directly with one punch.
And He Long is also very interested in martial arts, in addition to practicing weekdays, he often runs long distances hungry on a hungry stomach, just to ask martial arts masters for advice.
Therefore, among the young people who can practice martial arts in He Long's hometown, He Long can be regarded as a leader, and whether it is fist and foot kung fu, long spear and short knife, swordsmanship and stick skills, he is quite proficient, and he can be called an all-round player without dead ends.
It is also because of his strong martial arts that in the early years, when He Long's father and uncle went out to sell salt, they would always take He Long as a bodyguard.
It is this kind of experience that planted a sense of justice in He Long's heart to punish evil and promote good, as long as the road is uneven on weekdays, he will definitely draw a knife to help, even if the bully is a high-ranking official, he is not afraid at all, he is directly tough, resolutely stand on the side of justice, and vent his anger to the suffering people.
Even if the other party has a gun in hand, He Long is not afraid at all, he picks up two kitchen knives, and he can still fight back and forth for others, and in the end he not only won, but also grabbed all the other party's foreign guns.
So soon, He Long became a hero in the minds of young people with a sense of justice in Hongjiaguan, who were willing to gather around him and listen to his command, and this laid the foundation for He Long to participate in the revolutionary war later.
After the Nanchang Uprising, He Long strictly required his soldiers to practice martial arts, and often taught the soldiers to practice martial arts in person.
And He Long's martial arts thinking is not rigid, he has long realized that in the war of using guns and hot weapons, it is completely not enough to only use cold weapons, so he quickly figured out a set, combining shooting and punching routines, which can greatly improve the ability to kill the enemy.
Because of this, the troops led by He Long are quite strong in combat.
And He Long relied on an extremely sensitive and good skill, even though he was experienced in a hundred battles in the rain of bullets and bullets, and often took the lead in charging into battle, he was not injured by bullets or shells once, which can be regarded as surprisingly lucky.
In addition to He Long, Marshal Peng Dehuai, who "dares to cross the sword immediately, only I am General Peng", is also quite strong in combat.
It is said that his grandfather, in his early years, participated in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement led by Hong Xiuquan and practiced martial arts skills, and later not only handed over this skill to Peng Dehuai, but also passed on the big knife he used to Peng Dehuai.
After the revolution, the reason why Mr. Peng was able to rise to the regiment commander in a short period of time with a mediocre soldier was naturally inseparable from his strong combat effectiveness.
It is said that even if he became the commander of the Red Army, he still often went to the front line to fight alone, charging into battle, so frightened that the organization was frightened, and even criticized him, and said to Mr. Peng that you are now a combatant, and the whole army needs you as the backbone to command, if you have three longs and two shorts on the front line, won't the whole army be completely chaotic?
However, it was Mr. Peng's courage in the face of the enemy, which made him not hesitate to accept the disparity in strength to resist US aggression and aid Korea, which was not favored by everyone at that time, and finally succeeded in playing the national and military prestige of New China.
