Secret: Who took good care of more than 500 wounded soldiers in He Long?

Xu Benshan (1860— 1932), whose real name is Wei Qiao and whose real name is Gan Yi, is from Qixian County, Kaifeng City. He was brilliant since he was a child and studied Confucian classics in the county town since he was a child. He knows all the four books and five classics. A little longer, studying medicine and boxing in my hometown. When I was a teenager, I worshipped Wudang Mountain with my father. He was attracted by the spectacular scenery and splendid architecture of Wudang Mountain, and what he yearned for was Wudang's exquisite boxing. At that time, he began to think about leaving this world and becoming a monk.

At the age of 20, Xu Benshan traveled alone. After becoming a monk in Wudang Mountain, he studied under Wang Fufu, the authentic director of Longmen in Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain. Later, as the fifteenth generation disciple of the authentic Wudang Longmen Sect, he was sent to Yuan Zongtan of Baiyun Temple in Beijing to study. After returning to Wudang Mountain, I experienced hardships, revitalized Wudang Taoism, became a great master, got to know He Long, and helped the Red Army become a much-told story.

Xu Benshan, who is famous for his superb martial arts, recited scriptures with his teacher in Wudang Mountain. He has a photographic memory and a strong memory. He is regarded as a wizard by his classmates. He is honest, honest, well-read, modest and eager to learn, and is deeply loved by all teachers. After Xu Benshan became a monk, he devoted himself to practice and helped the poor, and he was quite true to Taoism. After a long investigation, teachers began to teach their Wudang skills in secret. Knowing that real people especially like Xu, he accepted him as a closed disciple and taught Wudang internal skills and wudang boxing machinery. Wu-tang clan is very strict in teaching skills, and no one knows that he has been stunted for several years. Knowing that real people are very strict with Xu Benshan in order to train him, Xu Benshan "is not allowed to have banquets and not to be near women" all his life. And warned his disciples: "Those who practice martial arts are also good at martial arts; Martial arts practitioners also suffer. " Xu Benshan has been a teacher for more than ten years and has developed a perfect martial arts. He smells chickens dancing all year round, practices monasticism, burns incense at night and walks on mountain roads at night.

Under the guidance of the master, Xu Benshan practiced the skills of single pile and nine-palace pile in Taoist temple, and practiced climbing over the cliff and inner alchemy. Xu Benshan tied his arm into dozens of iron rings, and when he swung his arm, he hit the target, and the iron ring became a necessity. At the beginning of 1909, tens of thousands of pilgrims came to Wudang Mountain. One day, in Jichuan, Zhou Jun, more than 200 pilgrims made trouble in the "Ten Abbots" in the backyard of Zixiao Palace. At that time, in order to expand the Taoist temple, Xu Benshan prepared a lot of wood in the "Ten Abbots". Xu wants to make peace, and the riot leader thinks that more than 60 people under his command are proficient in fists and feet, arrogant and rude. First, the Taoist priest came forward to resolve it, and then the prison came to persuade it. I don't know that unhealthy trends are still going on, but evil spirits are rising. Xu Benshan looked at it and went to negotiate in person. The troublemakers are unwilling to make peace and want to meet each other by force. Xu Benshan persuaded them again and again, but they still importuned. Xu Benshan said, "Good!" Jump out of the circle and shout: "Who dares to come up!" Then he jumped a 5-meter-long beam in the palace, as light as playing poker. The troublemakers had never seen such martial arts before, so they scattered the birds and animals.

Since then, Wudang Taoist priests and the surrounding people have known that Xu Benshan is skilled in martial arts, and therefore he has won the reputation of "Xu Wuxia" and "Xu Daxia". He was in charge of Wudang and admired the primitive ancient Shinto of Wudang Mountain. Due to years of disrepair, pilgrims often stumble into the mountains and die or become disabled. In the 15th year of Guangxu reign (1889), Xu Benshan was appointed to supervise the construction of Wudang Shinto. As a supervisor, Xu Benshan took the lead, mingled with migrant workers, worked hard and was deeply loved. Yin Xiongbin, Xiangyang Fu Road, appreciates it very much. After the completion of the new road, Xu Benshan was appointed as the general manager of Wudang Mountain by Xiangyang Daoyin.

As a Taoist general, Xu Benshan is more studious and ambitious. He asked all Taoist priests in the mountain to be diligent and thrifty when repairing Wudang Taoist Temple, strictly abide by Taoist rules and regulations, and act according to the rules and regulations of the list. At the same time, he is thirsty for talents and appoints people on their merits. I set an example by myself, with clear rewards and punishments, which gave Wudang Mountain a new look. He led many Taoist priests to cultivate land for self-support, and raised funds from all directions to repair the palace temple and the stone road in the mountains, which made Wudang Taoism show a revitalized atmosphere.

While building a palace, Xu Benshan also organized charity, opened warehouses to relieve hunger in famine years, offered new year's goods at the end of the year, applied drugs to help people, and abandoned coffins and bodies, which was praised by the world. Support the Revolution and Help He Long 193 1 In the spring of, He Long led the Red Army to leave Honghu Soviet Area, strategically shift to northwest Hubei and enter Wudang Mountain via Yunyang. Xu Benshan led more than 50 people to meet the Red Army at the east gate of Zixiao Palace, vacated the "West Palace" as the Red Army Hospital, and made proper arrangements for He Long's accommodation. There were many wounded in the Red Army at that time. Xu Benshan sent Taoist priests to help treat the wounded and meet all the materials needed by the wounded. When Commander He Long learned that Xu Benshan was generous and had martial arts skills, he felt that he was reunited after such a long separation, so he became friends.

One day, the Red Army headquarters got information that the 5th1division of * * * was going to transport Minlang's elegy arms to Yunyang from the old mouth of Hanjiang River. He Long immediately sent two teams straight to Laohekou, intending to snatch arms. Knowing this news, Xu Benshan volunteered and went down the mountain with several disciples with high martial arts overnight to meet the Red Army detachment. Knowing that the ship had set sail, they decided to play it by ear and catch up with the ship. In the case of heavily guarded arms escort, Xu Benshan promised to cross the river at a high price, but the enemy officers on board were insatiable and made the ship dock. Enemy soldiers are greedy for money and have no patience. Before Xu Benshan could stand firm on the boat, they immediately gathered around to grab the purse and search him, only to be knocked down by the Taoist priest. Hidden on the shore, the Red Army detachment immediately boarded the ship to capture enemy soldiers, intercepted Minlang's elegy arms, and replenished the Red Army's ammunition.

He was deeply moved by the selfless help of Taoist priests such as Xu Benshan, and wanted to worship Xu Benshan as a teacher and practice martial arts into boxing. Xu Benshan told He Long: "wudang boxing is very particular about internal skills, which can be practiced in a short time. Mainly used for self-defense and longevity, the teacher biography is very strict. The general insisted on learning, so I had to make a fool of myself. " He Long wanted to pay homage to his master, but Xu Benshan refused. When leaving, He Long presented Taoist Temple with 220 taels of gold as the capital for repairing Wudang Palace Temple, and wrote a Tibetan couplet for him in the name of Xu Benshan, saying, "The breath of great men is exhausted in the east, and the woodcutter sings in the west to Yun Teng."

In July of that year, the Red Army left Wudang Mountain, but left more than 500 wounded and sick people on the mountain. General Xu Benshan led Taoist priests up the mountain to collect herbs and decoct them, treated them carefully, healed the wounded and patients, and escorted them to find the Red Army and return to the army. The red army donated money from * * * 5 1 division battalion commander Ma Laoqi. Ma sent troops with guns to threaten Xu Benshan to hand over gold. Xu Yizheng said sternly: "If there is gold, just don't give it!" When the bandits tried to kill them, Xu Benshan, who was over 70 years old, flew up, kicked down the stone fence, then picked up a sentry weighing several hundred pounds and threw it forward at a distance. The crowd turned pale and fled in a hurry. Ma Laoqi refused to give up. A few days later, he arranged for eight soldiers to ambush Xu Benshan in Song Wanting outside Zixiao Palace. Xu Benshan was shot in the back and fell in a pool of blood.
