Chapter 9: Trouble Comes to the Door

Su Ming traveled all the way, and there were refugees everywhere on the road, and many people were homeless and wandering away from home, and they didn't know where to go.

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer!

When Su Ming came out of Luo Tuan, it was March 1921. Just last year, the direct warlords and the Feng warlords united to fight the Anhui warlords, which was also the first war in history. Although the war lasted only five days, and the number of casualties did not seem to be large, the people were scattered everywhere the army went.

As a result of the war, the direct and Feng factions seized power in Beijing and forced Duan Qirui to step down. But how can the high-ranking warlord leaders see the tragic situation of the people being displaced, homeless, and even starving to death everywhere under the army, or maybe they don't care at all.

Tianjin City was not greatly affected, Su Ming walked in Tianjin City, and saw ordinary people, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, or foreign foreigners, each with their own lives. As far as the eye can see, the whole city of Tianjin is like a three-dimensional and vivid picture scroll.

In Beijing, I saw the students marching and petitioning, and the crowd was excited, and the cries shook the heavens and the earth. In Luo Tuan, I saw the countryside far away from the hustle and bustle, leisurely and contented, without interference from the outside world. In Tianjin, Su Ming saw the other side of the Republic of China again, open, prosperous, and trend-leading!

Since the establishment of the Republic of China, due to the rule of the Beiyang warlords, Tianjin has become the political center, financial center, diplomatic center, economic center, shipping center and so on of China's special geographical location and some other reasons. Its total economic output has ranked first in Asia for many years. Even if the Nationalist Government later came to power, due to geographical and political reasons, it vigorously developed Shanghai, and Tianjin was not inferior in any way. The saying that "there is Shanghai in the south and Tianjin in the north" has been recognized by the Chinese people during the Republic of China.

came to Tianjin, Su Ming walked on the streets and alleys. There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, hawkers walking the streets, rickshaws running back and forth, and cars can be seen running through the streets. As far as the eye can see, it can be called prosperous!

This kind of impression of the Republic of China fell into his mind, and Su Ming only felt that this era suddenly came alive in his heart. For a moment, Su Ming didn't know where to go. He came to Tianjin with the intention of meeting the boxing masters of Tianjin. Now that I'm in Tianjin, I don't know what to do.

Home visit? It is generally considered to be a kick in the gym. No deal, no deal? Well, as far as Su Ming's kung fu has not yet mastered the dark energy, he has met a real master, and two or three moves are gone. Go to the Chinese Samurai Club in Tianjin? It doesn't seem to be so appropriate.

The Chinese Warriors Association in Tianjin, founded in 1912, was mainly founded by Mr. Li Cunyi of Xingyi Gate and Mr. Zhang Zhankui of Xingyi Bagua Gate. At the beginning of its establishment, it was supported by Mr. Li Ruidong, the founder of Li School Taijiquan, as well as Zhang Jingxing, the ancestor of Su Ming in the Baji Gate, Li Shuwen, and the elder brother Huo Diange.

There are rivers and lakes where there are people, although it is called the Chinese Warriors Association, but most of the teachings are Xingyi disciples, and most of the teachings are Xingyi boxing. For example, Mr. Li Ruidong, the founder of Li Pai Taiji, sold his 200 acres of land at the beginning of the establishment of the Chinese Warriors Association to support the activities of the Chinese Warriors Association. But later, he was also disheartened and stopped asking about the matter. Another example is that many masters of the Baji Gate came to Tianjin to support the Chinese Warriors Association, but later they all left. It's secretive, it's hard to say.

Su Ming, as a disciple of Li Shuwen, would be a little embarrassed to be honest if he went to visit at this time. Seeing that it was already noon, Su Ming found a restaurant and had something to eat. While eating, I heard many people arguing on the street outside, and I was so noisy.

After Su Ming finished eating, he went out to listen, but he also roughly understood what was going on. It turned out that when a porter was carrying something, a rickshaw was passing by and accidentally crashed into each other. It stands to reason that this kind of trivial matter, the two apologized to each other, and it passed. Unexpectedly, for some reason, the porter actually beat up the person who pulled the rickshaw.

At this time, Tianjin City, like later generations, was a circle in every line. Like a porter who helps others carry things, and his own circle. Another example is that those who pull rickshaws also have their own circles. The rickshaw was naturally not convinced, called many people to come, and beat the porter again.

Then the porter called a great crowd to him. Among these porters, a few of them have obviously practiced, and at that moment they beat up a group of people who pulled rickshaws and called their mothers, and they all ran away. Only the one who hit the person at the beginning remained, surrounded by a group of people in the middle and beaten indiscriminately.

Su Ming saw that the people who pulled the rickshaw were beaten by everyone, and if he continued to fight, he was afraid that he would be worried about his life, so he immediately said: "Everyone, if you continue to fight, I am afraid that someone will die." ”

Many porters stopped, and one of them, stout and dark, opened his mouth and shouted, "Where did you come from to meddle with our affairs?" He saw that although Su Ming was not like a local, he was tall and didn't want to cause more trouble.

Su Ming said: "I don't want to mind your affairs, it's just that if you continue to fight, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it." If you get a human life, which of you can afford it? ”

The porter's line is not simple. Especially in the Republic of China, there were many people who practiced boxing, and they all did this business in order to make a living. The most famous is Huo Yuanjia, who also worked as a porter for a period of time when he was in Tianjin. Su Ming saw a few of them make a move just now, obviously they were practicing the family, and they didn't want to cause more trouble.

"It's okay to let him go, as long as he compensates us for today's losses." Another said. The man was taller than the man who had just spoken, and his figure looked shapely. The muscles on both arms give people a very powerful feeling.

Hearing this, looking at the person pulling the rickshaw curled up on the ground, Su Ming suddenly smiled: "It's hard to say who is who in this matter." If you beat people like this, and ask a rickshaw puller to compensate for the losses of so many of you, you are obviously asking for his life. I see that you are also people who practice boxing, I don't know which master of the Chinese Warriors Association you studied with? If this news reaches your master, I don't know what will happen. ”

The two people who spoke just now obviously had the shadow of the shape of the fist inside their fists and feet. Tianjin was influenced by the Chinese samurai, Xingyi boxing spread widely, and it was normal for there to be people who had practiced Xingyi boxing among the porters. However, no matter which sect or faction in the martial arts, it is forbidden to bully the weak. A few people who practice boxing beat a rickshaw, no matter what, they can't say anything. If this thing gets out, Xingyimen will be embarrassed.

"I can't see it, you are also a boxing practitioner, and if you want to stand up for him, you can fight until we talk about it." The man said again.

Su Ming said lightly: "Today I will tell you what you can and can't do, and tomorrow I will go to the Chinese Warriors and ask, who taught you kung fu?" Before the words fell, I saw that the tall man from before arrived in front of Su Ming like a snake, and punched out, faintly making the sound of breaking the air.

"Serpentine? Crashing fist? As soon as Su Ming saw it, he knew that this was the person who had been taught by Xingyi Fist, and the snake shape and the collapse fist had a bit of charm. In particular, the collapse fist, one blow out, like an arrow, like a gun, is not only extremely fast, powerful, but also has the power of piercing. When hitting a person, a force can penetrate the surface of the human body and stab the internal organs and tissues, which is very ruthless.

Su Ming didn't dodge or dodge, he also punched out, only to hear a crisp snap, and he was just catching up with the menacing collapse fist. Punch after fist, under one punch, the man only felt a strong surge, and the fist hurt as if it was about to crack, and even the entire right arm was a little painful. Before he could react, he saw a figure rush into his arms, hit his shoulder on his chest, and the whole person flew out.

When the rest of the people saw this, they all rushed forward.

Su Ming was not afraid, his elbows were used as guns, his fists were used as the tips of the spears, his feet were like mud, and his feet took root. Bajiquan was unleashed, and with his current strength, none of these porters could get close. But with every punch and elbow he throws, one is knocked down. In just a few minutes, more than a dozen porters were knocked to the ground by him.

Su Ming stretched out his hand and pulled the rickshaw driver up, and said, "For those who practice martial arts, the first martial virtue is not to oppress the weak. If you have insulted him today, they will be insulted in the coming day. I will be here today, and if I see this again in the future, I will go to the Chinese Samurai Association and ask, which master taught you Xingyi Fist? ”

With that, he left with the rickshaw driver. After the rickshaw driver left, Su Ming casually found a hotel to stay. In my free time, I practice hard and non-stop.

Early in the morning of the second day, Su Ming had just finished practicing and went out, when he saw the stout footman who had been knocked down by him yesterday guarding the door. Su Ming frowned, walked up to the porter, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The stout footman stretched out his hand and took out a prayer post, and said, "This is my master's prayer note with you, inviting you to meet at the Chinese Samurai Association today." If you don't dare, forget it. ”

Su Ming stretched out his hand to take the post and said, "I have accepted this post, you go to report to your master, before noon, I will naturally go to the Chinese Warriors Association to pay a visit." ”

Seeing this, the stout footman also admired Su Ming's courage, arched his hand, said goodbye, and left.

Su Ming secretly sighed in his heart that he was troublesome, but he couldn't help but accept this post. He is a disciple of Li Shuwen's official admission to the door, if he doesn't dare to accept the post, it will be spread in the future, not only his master Li Shuwen will have no face, but the entire Baji Gate will have no face.

When it was almost noon, Su Ming inquired all the way and arrived at the place where the Chinese Warriors Association was located. At this time, the Chinese Warriors Association, because Li Cunyi was old and had no heart, was in charge of his son Li Xingjie. The period when Li Xingjie was in charge was the heyday of the Chinese Warriors Association. I don't know how many people have learned skills in the Chinese Samurai Society.

When Su Ming arrived at the door, he greeted him with a sticker, and someone said that he was welcome in. Su Ming entered the door and glanced left and right, and saw that there were many martial arts practitioners in the courtyard, and it was slightly estimated that there were at least hundreds of people.

At this time, a middle-aged man came out and said, "This must be Master Su Mingsu, in Xia Xu Yijiang." I taught the boxing practiced by those disciples who didn't make it yesterday. ”

PS: The matter of the Chinese Warriors Association mentioned in this chapter is pure fiction, don't take it seriously!
