Chapter 17 Plum Blossom Pile

Tianjin Wei, the main hall of the Iron Tiger Gang.

In the lobby, Cheng Tiehu had a happy chat with Tang Weibing, leader of Haisha Gang, and Li Shilong, leader of Qinghe Gang.

Li Shilong was full of joy, and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, if we set up the ring this time, Guo Lingfeng would definitely not dare to fight. But he never expected that you invited Master He and his two disciples! Ha ha!"

Tang Weibing also said with a smile: "At first I thought that the Haihe gang could fight, and Zhou Bin and Zhang Hongchuan were even more powerful in martial arts. None of the red sticks in my gang could be their opponents. I didn't expect that Master He turned out to be the successor of Master Zou Hongyi. Plum Blossom Pile Kung Fu is unrivaled in the world. With Master He and his two outstanding disciples, it seems that this time the Haihe Gang is settled! Brother Cheng, you really have it!"

Cheng Tiehu smiled, and said lightly: "You two, you have already seen Master He's kung fu. We are sure of winning this time. In my opinion, how about we raise the price even higher? "

Li Shilong looked distressed, and said, "Brother Cheng, what we originally discussed was to take half of the Haihe Gang's land, how much more do you want to increase the price?"

Cheng Tiehu smiled without saying a word, and Tang Weibing interjected, "Brother Cheng, do you want to... take down all the territory of the Haihe Gang?"

Cheng Tiehu smiled slightly, and said: "You two don't know something! I just received the news today. Just yesterday, Huo Yuanjia competed with the Japanese in Shanghai and was beaten to death in the ring!"

"what?"

Tang Weibing had seen Huo Yuanjia's power with his own eyes, and asked in disbelief: "What's the name of the Japanese? How could he be so powerful? Can he kill Huo Yuanjia?"

Cheng Tiehu laughed loudly and said: "Brother Tang, you don't know! That Japanese warrior is named Akutagawa Ryuichi, a master of the Japanese Black Dragon Association, and he opened a Hongkou dojo in Shanghai. He is quite famous in Japan, and his martial arts is very strong. ! What's so strange that Huo Yuanjia died under his hands?"

I have to say that most of the Chinese people in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China only knew how to behave in a nest, and they were timid when facing foreigners, and Cheng Tiehu was also such a person.

It is conceivable that Huo Yuanjia dared to stand up to the Russian Hercules at that time, how precious it was?

In 1901, a tall and strong Russian came to Tianjin to perform in theaters. He advertised in newspapers, claiming to be the "World's No. [-] Hercules", and he was invincible all over China.Huo Yuanjia saw the advertisement, and heard that the Russians were talking nonsense on the spot, insulting the Chinese as "sick men of East Asia". He was furious, and immediately invited Nong Jinsun, the owner of the Huaiqing Guild Hall, and Liu Zhensheng, his apprentice, to the theater.

The Russian Hercules boasted on stage that he was the "No. [-] Hercules in the World", and anyone who was not convinced by the "Sick Man of East Asia" could compete on stage.Huo Yuanjia couldn't sit still in the audience. Regardless of everyone's dissuasion, he jumped onto the stage with a stride, and said straight to the point: "I am the 'sick man of East Asia' Huo Yuanjia, and I would like to compete with you on this stage!"

At that time, the translator told the Russian about Huo Yuanjia's life history, and the Russian didn't dare to neglect Huo Yuanjia after hearing about Huo Yuanjia's reputation, so he quickly let Huo Yuanjia into the background.Huo Yuanjia accused the Russians on the spot: "Why do you insult China?" He also put forward three conditions: one is to republish the advertisement, and the statement that the Russians are "the number one in the world" must be removed; the other is that the Russians should publicly admit to insulting China. If you make a mistake, apologize and thank you in public; otherwise, it is the third condition: I, Huo, want to fight him, and order him to make a decisive decision immediately.

The fierce Russian Hercules dared not appear in the competition, so he had to agree to the first two conditions, willing to publish in the newspaper to correct and publicly admit the mistake of contempt for the Chinese, and thus left Tianjin in despair.

This was the real situation back then, not the stage where Fearless fought against the Russian Hercules in the film and television works.The fight back then was unsuccessful, and Huo Yuanjia did take the stage to challenge, but the Russian Hercules was discouraged.

How many people present didn't know about this matter?Moreover, Huo Yuanjia played a lot in the ring in Tianjin Wei back then, and he was invincible all over Tianjin. Tang Weibing and Li Shilong did not expect such a powerful Huo Yuanjia to die in the hands of Akutagawa Ryuichi, and he was killed on the spot in the ring. It's really hard to imagine how high this oriental martial arts is.

"In the past, the Haihe gang was arrogant and domineering in our Tianjin Wei, but it was because of Huo Yuanjia's momentum!" Cheng Tiehu said with a dark smile, "Now that Huo Yuanjia is dead, I think who else will support them?"

This is purely irrational, Huo Yuanjia has never helped the Haihe Gang in the ring before.However, although the three big bosses here all knew it well, they all pretended to be confused at this time.

"Guild Master!" A young man ran into the lobby, and after entering, he cupped his fists at Tiehu and said, "Guo Lingfeng has brought a group of Haihe Gang to the ring, and they said they are here to fight!"

"Hehe! This kid is really young and vigorous!" Cheng Tiehu laughed loudly, "Since he is so eager to seek death, how can we not give him a ride? Let's go! We will go there with Master He and the others!"

……

Guo Lingfeng was taken aback when he saw the ring.

I groove!Is this a plum blossom pile?

Plum Blossom Pile, also known as Plum Blossom Boxing, or Plum Blossom Boxing for short, is a kind of boxing practiced on a pile, and it is also often used as a basic skill exercise.Plum blossom piles originated in the late Ming Dynasty, and were first spread among the people in the form of family traditions, and then spread to the outside world during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In modern times, there are many descendants of Han Qichang in Luan County, Hebei.

Plum Blossom Pile, named for standing on the pile to practice.It is different from other types of boxing, and its difficulty is far beyond that of various ground boxing types.When practicing, it is required to have a stable posture and establish a strict dynamic stereotype.

The diameter of ordinary plum blossom piles is more than five inches. The lower half is buried in the ground, and the upper half is about three inches above the ground.

Of course, as the skill of the practitioner becomes deeper and deeper, the height of the stake can be gradually increased.The plum blossom pile in front of Guo Lingfeng has dozens of wooden piles that are more than six feet above the ground. It is obvious that the person who set up the plum blossom pile is quite confident in his own skills.

"This is a bit troublesome!" Guo Lingfeng has come into contact with this kind of kung fu in the world of "Shaolin Temple", and plum blossom pile kung fu is also one of the 72 special skills of Shaolin Temple.But at that time, since he had already practiced the one-finger Zen skill, he didn't put much effort into this unique skill. According to the words of his master Tan Zong, it was "not worth mentioning".

Guo Lingfeng turned his head to look at the two big red sticks with double bonuses under him, only to see that the "downhill tiger" Zhou Bin looked a little pale, while the "iron kite" Zhang Hongchuan looked normal.

Zhang Hongchuan's lightness kung fu is his special skill, even if he is not good at plum blossom pile kung fu, his kung fu will not drop too much after he gets on the pile.

Guo Lingfeng clenched his fists, and saw Cheng Tiehu, Tang Weibing and Li Shilong leading a large group of people coming over. Cheng Tiehu was followed by three unfamiliar faces, and the kung fu was not easy just from the figure and pace.

"This time, it seems that Cheng Tiehu came prepared!"
