Chapter 17 Chinese Kung Fu (Part 2)
Even the martial arts innovated in modern times have actually lost a lot when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. Just like there was no such thing as China after Yashan, the invasion of the Manchus also caused a heavy blow to Han culture. Since the Han culture has been hit, then the martial arts will definitely be hit even harder.
Why do you say that, those who learn martial arts are generally full of energy and naturally resist in the face of foreign invasions. I am afraid that the dead souls who died under the foreign butcher's knife at that time would not be less than ever. You should know that in the war between the Manchus and the Central Plains, the population of the Central Plains plummeted, and even in Sichuan, there were no people thousands of miles away, and there were piles of white bones everywhere. So after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, a large-scale population migration was carried out.
Although the Manchus said in history that Zhang Xianzhong burned, killed and looted Sichuan, and did everything he could do, turning a fertile land in Sichuan into a slaughterhouse on earth, in fact, individuals can see that history clearly.
I also know who the real craftsman is.
This is a cultural catastrophe, so it is definitely a catastrophe for the inheritance of Chinese martial arts.
By the late Qing Dynasty, the great powers invaded our great lands and mountains, and various local armed forces continued to rise up to resist, and the Yihequan and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were finally brutally suppressed under the joint strangulation of reactionary forces between China and foreign countries.
This is also a catastrophe of martial arts. Those who learn martial arts may have died at that time.
After several catastrophes, the inheritance of Chinese martial arts is actually difficult. No wonder that in the era where Liu Shan was originally in, martial arts had declined more and more. It was not because Chinese martial arts were not good, but because many of the things passed down from the lineage were lost.
This kind of loss is obvious. Take Shaolin as an example. According to historical records, there have been several wars in Shaolin, and even the entire temple in Shaolin was burned once or twice. This kind of burning is not just a building, there are a large number of Buddhist scriptures, and many Buddhist martial arts. Naturally, the monks responsible for protecting Shaolin died in this process.
As the authentic martial arts in the world and the mainstay of Chinese martial arts, Shaolin, and so on, let alone the others.
At this time, Liu Shan was very moved for a moment. It was not until Zhang Biao patted his shoulder that he woke up.
"What are you thinking?" Liu Shan was stunned, but Zhang Biao still saw it.
But Liu Shan couldn't explain to Zhang Biao what he was thinking. Could he tell Zhang Biao that I was thinking about modern Chinese history!
Liu Shan and Zhang Biao left back. Liu Shan had something to do, especially thinking about his experiences in the early Tang Dynasty and the difficulties of Chinese history. Liu Shan had an indescribable feeling, which was like a big rock pressing on his chest, and his chest was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.
If Chinese culture and martial arts can be passed down in the same line, history will be rewritten.
But Liu Shan knew that history is something that has happened and will not be rewritten. The loss of Chinese martial arts is an unchangeable fact.
However, Liu Shan thought of his situation and thought that he was in the early Tang Dynasty at this time. Perhaps, some things may not necessarily be changed, Liu Shan said to him in his heart.
At that moment, Zhang Biao had no idea why Liu Shan next to him looked serious, his hands were tightly clasped, and even his joints were white. In Liu Shan's eyes, Zhang Biao saw something he had never seen before. Zhang Biao didn't know what that thing was, but at this moment Liu Shan and Zhang Biao felt a little strange.
However, Zhang Biao was relieved immediately. When he left the village, Liu Shan was still a young boy. He had never seen Liu Shan in these years. He just returned to the village and thought that the people of the Liu family were dead. Later, at an unexpected opportunity, he learned that Liu Shan was still alive and joined the Wagang Army.
In fact, it hasn't been seen by the two brothers for several years, and they have changed a lot. It is normal for Liu Shan to have some changes.
When the two of them came back to the tent, one of them was already waiting for them in a military uniform, or to be precise, waiting for Liu Shan.
Since Liu Shan had surrendered, he naturally had to change his military uniform. You must know that Liu Shan was the army of the Sui Dynasty at this time. To be precise, it was the army of King Zheng, Wang Shichong, and not the army of Wagang before, so his clothes and weapons had to be replaced again.
However, when Zhang Biao saw the clothes, his face had changed. Zhang Biao's face turned pale and he stared at the military uniform.
"Did you get it wrong?" Zhang Biao's words were cold. Just looking at Zhang Biao's face, Liu Shan already knew that he might not be a good job when he came here. Maybe he was a tragic groom in the army or something. If it were worse, he might still be a fire-headed army who took the blame.
However, under the eaves, the man had to bow his head. Since he surrendered, he would look like he surrendered. Liu Shan pulled Zhang Biao and took the military uniform. The soldier who sent the military uniform saw Zhang Biao with a blue face and ran away after Liu Shan took the clothes.
"No, I'll go find the general. No matter what, you were a leader before, how could you do this to you?" Zhang Biao said as he was about to go to the general's camp, but was grabbed by Liu Shan.
"Is this the military uniform of the Fire Head Army?"
"no."
"Is it the military uniform of a groom servant?"
"No, where have you seen a fire-hunting groom man in such a military uniform? This is the military uniform of the Pioneer Battalion."
"Then why are you excited? Isn't it just Pioneer Camp? I thought I was going to be the fire husband when I saw your expression!"
"Brother, if you went to the Pioneer Camp in the past, I wouldn't have anything to say. But now, it's not possible. You know, your former leader Li Mi took the people from Wagang to the Tang Dynasty. Now, no one is fighting against the Tang Dynasty in the west. It's a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty's army fights us." Zhang Biao said anxiously to Liu Shan, and while he was talking, he wanted to go to the general and ask the general to change his place for Liu Shan, but he was grabbed by Liu Shan again.
Liu Shan also understood what kind of place he was going to. Because the Tang army had already destroyed the Western Qin tyrant Xue Ju in Longyou, the Liang Emperor Li Gui in Hexi, and the Dingyang King Liu Wuzhou in Hedong. Originally, Li Mi's Western Wei regime was the most powerful. However, at this time, Li Mi had already defected to the Tang Dynasty and there was nothing more Western Wei. At this time, it was Zheng King of Luoyang, Wang Shichong, who was fighting against the Tang army.
The position he was at this time was exactly the front line of the Zheng King's power and the closest place to the Tang Dynasty. At this time, he was brought to the Pioneer Camp again, so he was naturally the front line of the front line. No wonder Zhang Biao saw that dress with a blue face.
