Chapter 139: The Chinese are hard bones
In the evening, Wang Yongan followed Chen Qimei to Dayantang Restaurant to drink and listen to the play, several brothers of the Green Gang have expired, Chen Qimei introduced Wang Yongan to everyone one by one, everyone has long heard of Wang Yongan, the fourth son of Yangzhou, but they didn't expect him to be so young, and they can't help but sigh that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info After a while, Nong Jinsun walked in with a capable middle-aged man, and Wang Yongan could see at a glance that this man was Huo Yuanjia.
After some introduction, the wine and meat were served, but the actor was not called to sing and accompany, Nong Jinsun got up and began to introduce his brother Huo Yuanjia to everyone.
It turned out that a month ago, the British Hercules Opiyin came to Shanghai to perform weightlifting, exposing his muscles and bodybuilding at the Apollo Theatre at No. 52 North Sichuan Road in the British Concession. After the performance, he threatened that any Chinese could fight him, and he was extremely contemptuous of the Chinese. Many Chinese in the audience were furious when they saw this, and one of the Shanghai reporters unloaded Opiyin's insulting remarks about China overnight, and the next day it appeared in the newspaper, so the Shanghai people were in an uproar.
Chen Youmei, Nong Jinsun, Chen Tiesheng, Chen Gongzhe and others wanted to hire famous fighters to take the stage and compete to show the soul of China, but after the invitation letter was issued, there were not many responders. In this era, foreigners enjoyed extraterritoriality, which meant that they were not responsible for killing Chinese, and at most they would pay some compensation and leave China, while if Chinese killed foreigners, they would be killed. Therefore, many martial arts masters are unwilling to cause trouble, but make Opiyin more arrogant, and they take pleasure in insulting Chinese every day.
Nong Jinsun had a deep friendship with Huo Yuanjia, the hero of Jinmen, so he immediately sent a telegram to Huo Yuanjia, hoping that Huo Yuanjia would go south to defeat Opiyin. Huo Yuanjia's name has long resounded in North China, he defeated the Russian Hercules in Jinmen when he was young, and his name shocked Jinmen, but this time he heard that the British actually set up a ring in Shanghai to insult the Chinese, so he angrily accepted Nong Jinsun's invitation and took his apprentice Liu Zhensheng south to Shanghai to discuss martial arts competitions.
It's not that the brothers of the Green Gang in Shanghai can't clean up this Opiyin, but Opiyin is appreciated by the consuls of various countries, and secretly has an unclear relationship with the women of the consuls and counselors. But among the Green Gang, there are few who are good at fighting, if the assassination poison comes behind a stick, the scourge will make others restless, but it is the Qing Gang's forte, but this fight can't be done, otherwise the Green Gang will not be beaten by Zhang Tie alone.
Hearing that Huo Daxia was going to face Opiyin, the brothers of the Green Gang naturally wanted to support him, and shouted Huo Daxia, please rest assured, if there is any dispatch in the future, our Green Gang will definitely support it.
Wang Yongan sat on the side and looked at everyone with a smile, he already knew in his heart that this Opiyin was just a bodybuilder, not to mention Huo Yuanjia, even Huo Yuanjia's defeated Russian Hercules could also tear his bones apart, so later Opiyin ran away to Australia. But now that Huo Yuanjia has just come to Shanghai Beach, this Opiyin doesn't know how powerful he is, and he is flirting with a foreign woman in the theater at this time.
"This time, let's defeat the British Hercules with dignity." Chen Qimei slapped the table and said, "Let the foreigners take a look, we Chinese are powerful." ”
Nong Jinsun said: "The purpose of this battle is not to defeat the British Hercules Opiyin, but to grow the face of the Chinese, so we must let everyone in the world know about it." ”
"How do you let the whole world know about this?" Someone asked.
Everyone pondered, Wang Yongan got up with a smile at this time and said: "I have an idea, let the British bow their heads, let the foreigners bow their heads to us Chinese." ”
"Xiao Zhuge is out of the horse, naturally one of the top three, quickly talk about your method." Chen Qimei said with a smile.
Wang Yongan couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Brother Yingshi, don't call me Xiao Zhuge in the future, okay?" ”
"Eh, this is a good name given to you by the Hunan genius Yang Huizi, that Yang Huizi is a Hunan prodigy, even I, a big boss, have to admit that although he is a member of the Qing court, the "Hunan Youth Song" is inspiring and will definitely spread all over the world." Chen Qimei said.
"Yang Huizi's sentence 'If the Chinese country dies, unless the people of Hunan die' is indeed a famous sentence for the ages, but ...... But he was blind. Wang Yongan waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Little brother is very ignorant, if Jingyun is really a little Zhuge , how can he still sit here?" I was already invited by Zaifeng to be a military advisor. Others are just joking, why is Brother Ince so amusing me like this? ”
Chen Qimei said: "Jingyun, you are too modest. Then he asked, "What is the solution?" To be able to make foreigners bow their heads is to give us Chinese a long face. ”
"It's simple, spread the word!" Wang Yongan said confidently, "Advertise in the newspaper to announce to the world that Huo Daxia represents the Asians against the Europeans!" The effect of advertising is more powerful than you think, and the power of newspapers is infinite and continuous. Brothers, if we add something of national sense to the advertisement, it will definitely immediately make a sensation all over the world and even the world. ”
"What kind of national thing?" Huo Yuanjia said with great interest.
The corners of Wang Yongan's mouth hooked up a wicked smile and said: "We announced in the newspaper that China's first samurai Huo Yuanjia and the British first samurai Opiyin will fight a decisive battle in Shanghai on January 5, 1910. ”
Huo Yuanjia hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "China's No. 1 samurai doesn't dare to be, but he doesn't dare to be, Jingyun Gongzi is too praised." ”
Wang Yongan said: "Huo Daxia, don't dare to say anything, the first samurai does not refer to martial arts, but courage and mind, why Huo Daxia You alone came forward to face the provocation of the British?" There are so many martial arts masters in China, so many kung fu masters, and so many descendants, why don't they come forward? First, they are timid and dare not do anything to the British, and secondly, they only care about burying their heads in their own lives, and no one dares to bear the soul of China. Cowardly as a mouse, bullying, and cowering, those warriors are not worthy of being called chivalrous. Have you ever heard a saying, the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people? Huo Daxia's first war with the Russian Hercules and the British Hercules in the Second World War were not out of his own personal grudges, but because he had the country and the image of China in his heart, he offended the British, and he must not let foreigners insult China if he was in any danger! ”
"Well said!" The youth gang brothers applauded and shouted.
Huo Yuanjia was said to be enthusiastic, thinking about everything he had done, he naturally didn't want to see foreigners insulting his compatriots, but in this era, how many people are as "stupid" as him. Wang Yongan's sentence "The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people" completely said what he has done for so many years, isn't he called the hero of Tianjin Gate for the country and the people?
However, Chen Qimei hesitated and worried, he thought about it more carefully, especially now that Nong Jinsun and others live in the public concession, they need to rely on people's breath, if the British are in a hurry and find trouble for everyone, everyone will have nowhere to go. He hurriedly persuaded: "Fourth son, Huo Daxia, brothers, is this move too high-profile when it is published in the newspapers and reports to openly face the British?" And in case Huo Daxia loses Opiyin...... But it's insulting to the country. At that time, Huo Daxia not only failed to be a hero, but was ridiculed, and all parties would also blame Huo Daxia. No matter whether Huo Daxia wins or loses, he will always be the target of everyone's attack in the future, if he wins, Jianghu Xiaoxiao will definitely find you to duel, and he will be proud of defeating you, if he loses, they will come to provoke and insult you for fun, think twice, think again. ”
Huo Yuanjia sneered: "The rivers and lakes are small, and I don't care about it. ”
Huo Yuanjia's eldest apprentice, Liu Zhensheng, smashed his fist on the beam of the house, slammed the ground, shook off the dust, and said viciously: "If anyone wants to challenge my master, first ask if my fist is hard." ”
Wang Yongan admires Liu Zhensheng very much, and the famous TV series "Chen Zhen" in later generations is based on Liu Zhensheng, he laughed and appeased Liu Zhensheng, and said loudly: "I have confidence, that Opiyin is just a showmanship, let him show off his muscles, his ability is just to seduce some consul wives and young ladies and maids in Shanghai, this kind of person doesn't even need Huo Daxia's shot, Huo Daxia's apprentice is enough to beat his father and mother don't know." ”
Everyone laughed, and Huo Yuanjia said: "Fourth son, I have confidence in myself, but I am afraid that Britain and France will be embarrassed and will not be able to compete with each other." ”
Wang Yongan said: "Huo Daxia, please rest assured, Britain and France will definitely not dare to embarrass you, if they embarrass you, we will once again tell the world, just say that the British and French are afraid, and use despicable tricks to hinder the duel." Hmph, I would like the whole world to see, don't look at our Qing government as soft bones, but we Chinese are all hard bones. ”
"Well said!" The crowd shouted.
The next day, Nong Jinsun came forward to contact various newspapers in Shanghai, and published Huo Yuanjia's letter of response in the newspaper, and the title of the newspaper played the title of Chinese martial arts against Western boxing.
Huo Yuanjia became famous, but after learning about Huo Yuanjia's outstretched hand, Opiyin was immediately frightened and fled, as in history, Opiyin ran to Australia. This Australia is also a British territory, but in the past, it was a place where the British distributed prisoners, so the people were bad, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and Opiyin went to Sydney to continue to flex his muscles.
