In the cold winter of 1936, Xu Shiyou and ** walked side by side on the playground.
Suddenly, Xu Shiyou put on a posture, as if he wanted to compete with **.
What's going on?How will it respond?To fight or not to fight?Xu Shiyou was from Xinxian County, Henan, was an outstanding general of the Red Fourth Front Army, served as the deputy commander of the Red Ninth Army and the commander of the Red Fourth Army, as one of the main pioneers of the Red Fourth Front Army, known as "Monk Xu", and enjoyed a high reputation in the Red Fourth Front Army.
And ** is from Liling, Hunan, is an outstanding general of the **Red Army, served as the head of the Red Fourth Regiment and the chief of staff of the Red First Division respectively, in the **Red Army Long March, he is the pioneer, and Yang Chengwu is known as "Geng Mengzi".
The two are from different troop sequences, why do they take a walk together?It turned out that after the three main forces of the Red Army successfully joined forces in northern Shaanxi, they entered the Red Army University together to study Xi and became classmates, thus having the opportunity to meet and communicate.
Xu Shiyou is a well-known figure in the Red Army University, and ** has long heard of his name, and he knows that Xu Shiyou once practiced martial arts in Shaolin Temple.
During a walk and exchange, Xu Shiyou learned that ** also had martial arts cultivation.
*'s father is a master of martial arts and is known as the "Double Hook Hero".
Since he was a child, he has accepted the martial arts taught by his father, mainly including the four boxing methods of Nanquan, and has also Xi learned qigong and single knife skills, and even knows how to point acupoints, but he has never used it to hurt people.
* When I was a child, I practiced martial arts very hard, and once I accidentally fell down while practicing Xi handstand, resulting in a neck injury, my father came in time, hung him upside down and massaged him, and escaped.
*'s early experiences are quite similar to Xu Shiyou's, both of them were taught by their masters and practiced exquisite martial arts.
The only difference is that Xu Shiyou's master is a senior monk in the Shaolin Temple, and the master of ** is his father.
After learning about this experience, Xu Shiyou was full of interest and unexpectedly found that there were also martial arts inheritors in the Red Army team, so he wanted to compete with him, and even took off his shirt to show for a competition.
Xu Shiyou's actions attracted a group of onlookers around him, after all, who doesn't like to watch the excitement?Especially the contest between the two fierce generals of the Red Army.
Monk Xu vs. Geng Mengzi, how to distinguish the winner in the end?Regrettably, ** did not respond.
He smiled and said: "South fist and north leg, we may not be able to divide the winner or loser, not to mention that it is not suitable for hurting each other, so you should practice a few moves by yourself."
*Why don't you fight Xu Shiyou?Isn't he Xu Shiyou's opponent?
* With Xu Shiyou: The demeanor of the Red Army generals is not worried about the shame of defeat.
From an early age, his father instilled in him the belief that the purpose of learning Xi martial arts was to strengthen the body and defend oneself, not to provoke fights or bully others.
*'s younger brother was outgoing and active, so his father did not teach him martial arts to avoid getting him into trouble in the future.
Relatively speaking, ** has a steady temperament and doesn't like to be public, so his father taught him martial arts.
In fact, ** never shows off after learning Xi martial arts.
He applied the martial arts he learned to the battlefield, and in the difficult Long March, in the face of frequent battles, many Red Army soldiers unfortunately fell, but ** persevered.
He can engage in hand-to-hand combat with enemies, defeat multiple enemies in succession, and even capture enemy soldiers with his bare hands.
This is precisely the benefit of martial arts.
* Steady temperament, served as commander of the Red Army and chief of staff of the division, has military and political talents, wisdom and courage.
In contrast, as the commander of the Red Fourth Front Army, Xu Shiyou has a fiery personality and is aggressive and easy to fight.
* Not trying to be quick at the moment, he is good at considering problems thoroughly, so he politely rejected Xu Shiyou's invitation.
Xu Shiyou understood and no longer insisted, and he performed a set of Shaolin boxing on the spot, showing amazing strength and domineering, and showing a very different personality from **.
Soon after, ** was transferred to the Red Fourth Front Army and served as Chief of Staff of the Red Fourth Army.
Unfortunately, the commander of the Red Fourth Army at that time was replaced by Chen Zaidao, not Xu Shiyou.
Xu Shiyou and ** failed to join hands again.
In 1979, he served as the secretary general of the Military Commission.
The following year, Xu Shiyou also entered the Military Commission and served as a member of the Standing Committee.
The two became important leaders of the Central Military Commission, often held meetings and exchanges together, and had a rare intersection.
In 1985, Xu Shiyou died at the age of 80.
And ** outlived him until his death in 2000 at the age of 91.
