1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 34: Military Manual Volume

After getting to know Fang Yan, Ye Jing and the others, Xia Tian had quite a lot of contact with them.

Xia Tian’s existence has broken the discrimination of the children from the compound against the children from the hutong.

Generally speaking, if kids from the big courtyards get along well with kids from the alleys, there will be a circle of people who will ridicule them.

But now they all want to get to know Xia Tian.

But Fangyan’s grandsons always want to drink Xia Tian!
"Goodbye, I have something to do today. I'm going to meet a new master." Xia Tian rejected Ye Jing and the others' invitation to stroll around Houhai.

Zhuoyue was a little interested when he heard it: "Are you learning Kung Fu?"

"Yes." Coach Liu contacted a new master for Xia Tian, ​​and it is said that this master is extraordinary and must be taken seriously.

Zhuoyue was excited: "Can I learn martial arts from you?"

Xia Tian glanced at him. His conditions were not bad, but...

"Learning martial arts is very hard. You won't have time to wander around." Xia Tian actually declined.

Pants: Bullshit! Don’t you visit two places every day?

Xia Tian: I’m a fucking genius. Do you have what it takes to compete with me?

"I'm not afraid!" Zhuo Yue patted his chest.

He was convinced by Xia Tian's victory and thought that Xia Tian's martial arts were extremely powerful and he was very envious of him.

Xia Tian simply said, "To learn martial arts, you must first learn morality. Practicing martial arts is not for fighting."

Fang Yan laughed: "Hey, Brother Tian'er, you are so polite. You must have beaten two or three hundred people in these two cities, right?"

"nonsense!"

Xia Tian: At least four hundred!

Xia Tian said: "Although I often fight, no one has ever been hurt by me."

"Even if I don't practice martial arts, I can still win. I practice martial arts to improve my control."

"But you can't do that. None of you can. You tend to use heavy hands when you're impulsive. If you haven't practiced before, it's ok. At most, you'll just end up with a black eye and a swollen face. But if you've practiced before and don't know the severity of the situation, and you kill someone, then two families will be torn apart!"

"I, I can control myself!" Zhuo Yue was anxious, his expression serious.

"Well, you should not fight with anyone for three months. If you can do it, I will consider teaching you. Otherwise, you can find someone else. I definitely can't teach you."

After Xia Tian left, he still had to go and learn skills from a master.

……

Liu Xinghan, 79 years old this year, is still in good health.
He was born in the last century and can be considered a half-martial arts family.

He was originally from Fengtian, Liao Province, and followed Marshal Zhang to Beijing, but some people were left behind when the young marshal left. He was one of them.

This old gentleman had been involved in the martial arts world in the late Qing Dynasty and northern America. If not one of the few old masters in Yanjing today, he could be considered one of the few remaining veterans in the martial arts world.

It was also a coincidence that on the day of the boxing match in the summer, he was taking a walk in the Temple of Heaven Park in the south of the city and met his grandson riding a bicycle with a large group of people to watch the fun. When asked, he said that they were going to have a "boxing match".

Wow, this is new. How can you still see this in this day and age?!

I took a look from a distance - wow, what a good seedling!
So I asked around and found out about Coach Liu from the Children's Palace.

So, it was not Coach Liu who found Grandpa Liu, but Grandpa Liu who found Coach Liu.

“No, there’s no need to become my disciple. I’m so old now, it’s hard for me to teach you anything. Besides, you’ve already achieved success. All I can do is to guide you…” Grandpa Liu did not approve of becoming a disciple.

Those are all feudal remnants, and we don't want to do that now.

Besides, if you don't become a disciple, you are not a sect, and many people don't mind teaching you. If you become a disciple, then there will be sectarianism. Why bother!

The old man has also let it go. He just thinks that Xia Tian is such a talented person and should not be wasted. He is willing to guide him. As for whether he becomes his disciple or not, it doesn't matter to him.

The old man also knew Xia Tian’s current situation. He had mastered most of the boxing techniques and there was not much specific stuff to teach him.

However, in theory, or at the level of "martial arts", there are more things to teach!
What Grandpa Liu wanted to teach Xia Tian was not a certain type of boxing or a certain set of moves, but a few books.

"Essentials of Boxing Classics and Boxing Techniques" written by Cao Huandou and Zhang Kongzhao during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Liu Xinghan paced and said: "It is said that this "Boxing Classic" was compiled by two Shaolin Zen masters in the Yuan Dynasty who combined 16 famous boxing styles into one, and laid the foundation for Shaolin Temple's Zen and martial arts.

The Shaolin Temple's unique cold weapon skills and the secret Yi Jin Jing can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty at least. Historical records record the story of Thirteen Monks with Sticks saving the Tang King.

The Yi Jin Jing is also mentioned in the Qian Jin Fang by the Medicine King Sun Simiao, so it can be said that it has a long history. "

"Mr. Cao Huandou was not good at literature, but he made great achievements in martial arts. His book records that 'he encountered too many powerful enemies to count, but fortunately he never lost', which shows that there is something real in it. One of the chapters, 'A Brief Introduction to Boxing', is consistent with the chapter 'Essentials of Boxing' in Qi Jiguang's 'New Book of Effectiveness'. Both of them come from the 'Boxing Classics' of the Yuan Dynasty..."

Later, when Xia Tian was studying this martial arts secret book, he discovered that it also contained the "Song of the Drunken Eight Immortals"!

It's similar to the scenes in Big Nose Dragon's "Drunken Fist" where Lu Dongbin lifts the pot with great force while drunk.

There is also a book called "Surplus Farming Skills: Selection of Single Sword Techniques" written by Cheng Zongyou in the Ming Dynasty.

"The weapon is a single sword, which is used with both hands. The skill is mastered by the Japanese slaves, who have forged it to be strong and sharp, and the target, sheath and other things are all in accordance with the law. It is not comparable to other swords. Moreover, it is well sharpened and shines brightly, which makes people feel cold. The way it is used jumps left and right, and is strange and mysterious. No one can predict it. Therefore, the skills are often defeated by the sword."

Cheng Zongyou traveled far and wide when he was young, visiting masters and learning martial arts. He practiced hard in Shaolin Temple for more than ten years. He had high attainments in swords, spears, sticks, and crossbows. He learned sword skills from Liu Yunfeng from Zhejiang, and obtained the pure Japanese sword skills.

The book "Selection of Single Sword Techniques" was a pioneering record of the sword techniques of the time in the form of pictures. The pictures were obviously drawn by a painter, and the figures and movements were vividly portrayed.

Therefore, "Selection of Single Sword Techniques" is an important historical material for studying the sword techniques of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Xinghan gently patted the yellowed "Selection of Single Sword Methods" and said, "However, even the details of drawing the sword and sheathing the sword in his sword manual are imitated from the Japanese style. It lacks its own style. He learned well, but it is not groundbreaking."

Mr. Liu is almost eighty years old, but he is still pursuing innovation.

Yes, he has killed many Japanese soldiers before, so it is normal to seek change and innovation.

The last one is Qi Jiguang’s "Jixiao Xinshu".

"Jixiao Xinshu" is a book on military strategy, and can be regarded as a nanny-level marching notebook!

Of course, what Grandpa Liu asked Xia Tian to watch was definitely not the content about marching, setting up camp, and forming battle formations.

It mainly focuses on training troops and fighting against the enemy.

The Jixiao New Book contains the Quanjing Jieyao mentioned earlier, which talks about unarmed combat training. There is also the Jianjing!
"The Sword Classic" can be found in Qi Jiguang's 14-volume "Jixiao Xinshu". Like "The Boxing Classic Jie Yao", it was not invented by Qi Jiguang, but compiled by him.

"Jian Jing" is a monograph on stick fighting written by Yu Dayou, another famous general who fought against Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty.

Yu Dayou left behind a legendary story of challenging Shaolin with a stick among the people.

As for why the book that teaches stick and long-range weapons is called “Sword Classics”, it may be because he learned swordsmanship from Li Liangqin, the number one swordsman in the Ming Dynasty, since he was a child?

In addition, "Jixiao Xinshu" also records that Qi Jiguang created a set of Xinyou sword techniques based on Japanese sword techniques, as well as the Yuanyang Formation which was specifically used to fight against Japanese pirates.

Volume 86 of Wubeizhi says: "The long sword was used by the Japanese invaders. They first acquired it during the invasion of the southeast during the reign of King Sejong. Qi Shaobao learned how to use it in the battle of Xinyou and then developed it."

It is said that Qi Jiguang seized the "Hidden Stream Catalogue" carried by Japanese pirates during the battle in the 40th year of Jiajing. Based on the seized incomplete copy of the Japanese sword manual, his experience in fighting the Japanese pirates and his own superb martial arts, Qi Jiguang taught himself Japanese sword skills and created the "Xinyou Sword Technique".

The sword seeks to combine the sword techniques of China and Japan into one in order to defeat the enemy.

Xinyou refers to the calendar system, Xinyou year = the 1561th year of Jiajing = AD.

The so-called "Hidden Ryu" should be "Yin Ryu", which is one of the Japanese kendo schools.

Friends who always play Japanese strategy games should know a name "Kamiizumi Nobunaga", who is the most famous swordsman in Japan and founded the Shinkage-ryu.

He once learned Yinliu...

Nobutsuna Kamiizumi: I have found a better way~
According to the "Jixiao Xinshu", this set of swordsmanship should be called "Long Sword Training" or "Two-handed Sword Skills".

In order to win, we must constantly innovate, learn and improve, learn from each other's strengths and overcome our weaknesses in order to reduce bloodshed and sacrifice.

The Xinyou Swordsmanship was studied, researched, improved, and tested in actual combat on the battlefield. It is undoubtedly the best of the best swordsmanship!

……

Liu Xinghan: "You have already laid a good foundation, which is equivalent to those disciples who have practiced martial arts for ten years since childhood and have entered the martial arts world. You can now travel the world.

But how much you can achieve in the end depends on how much you can gain from the boxing techniques and advice of others.”

“From now on, you need to learn more, see more, and refine your own things through countless experiences.

Coach Xiao Liu’s method was very good before, and he invited many famous teachers to guide you.

You are also extremely talented. You can learn things quickly, understand them immediately, and apply them to other situations. So, there is nothing more I can teach you."

What Grandpa Liu means is that now that you can wield swords, guns, sticks and clubs quite well, the next step is for you to learn a hundred different arts!
With the old man's face and knowledge, he is naturally more prestigious than Coach Liu.

Summer is now a mission-oriented place. We go to the Temple of Heaven to learn Chuojiao, to the Temple of Ditan to learn Tai Chi, to Niujie to learn Tongbeiquan, to Beishatan to learn Fanziquan, and to Xiyuan to practice Xingyiquan. Although we say it is learning, it is more about gaining experience and exchanging skills.

In summer, you can learn many moves just by watching them once or practicing them.

If you are interested, study it, or just gain experience.

In summer, he goes around "eating food from a hundred houses and learning skills from a hundred families". He is good-looking, sweet-spoken, and extremely talented. Everyone can't help but give him some pointers, and he is very popular.

The news of "a rare martial arts genius in a century" has spread throughout the capital!
No matter what kind of boxing you use, if you are willing to teach, you can get started in one day and become proficient in a few days.
What kind of strength, what kind of internal training, what kind of standing practice, what kind of external practice, you can do it with your hands~
