Han Muxia, the Top Ten Masters in the Late Qing Dynasty

Han Muxia, a native of Zhili, Han Muxia, just turned 12 years old and went to Tianjin to sell firewood with his father. I happened to meet Zhou Escort in Zhang Mianwen's nursing home, and took him as a disciple, learning arts for three years. Later, Zhang Zhankui and Li Cunyi learned the Eight Diagrams Palm and Xingyiquan. Han Muxia, 20, was still not complacent, so he went to the south to visit famous teachers. 99 famous teachers, including Li Guangting, Song Yuezhai, Che Zhai Yi and Ying Wentian, returned to Tianjin with the true meaning of martial arts. Han Muxia combined form, meaning and words, and the North and South factions merged into one furnace, achieving mastery through a comprehensive study and forming their own school. In the first year of the Republic of China, Tianjin Chinese Wushu Association was established. In the second year of the Republic of China, he established his own martial arts museum (in a quadrangle in Baoxing Lane, Zhou Wei Road). Free apprenticeships (Yi Shi Daily published a notice of voluntary apprenticeships). At that time, the students who were respected in Nankai school were Yu, Liang, He Shuxin and Yue. The students of Beiyang female teachers are Liu Qingyang, and the students of Zhili female teachers are Qiao Yongju and Qiao Yonghe. Han Muxia Martial Arts Museum has trained many martial arts elites. However, Han Muxia's concern for the country and the people made him not satisfied with running a martial arts school, but to train his troops by force, and pinned his hope of "ruling the country by force" on the army. Han Muxia's ambition was not realized until he was nearly 50 years old. At that time, at the invitation of General Zhang Xueliang, he served as the instructor of the 1,000-person "Wu Tuan" of the No.1 16 Army, and the regimental headquarters was located in Hongyuanli, Xiatou, Nanguan 1. The "Wushu Regiment", namely the Broadsword Team, trained in Yangliuqing for two years.

In the Wushu Troupe, Han Muxia used the routine of Bagua Knife and serial gun, that is, using the action essentials of "winding head and brain" in Bagua Knife to chop sequentially, unevenly, left and right, and evenly; It is simple and easy to learn, and it is of great practical value for training soldiers to change the action of breaking, drilling, cannon and horizontal five thorns of the five-element serial gun into the action of stabbing, pulling, picking, breaking and breaking five thorns of the rifle. While Han Muxia was training the broadsword team in Yangliuqing, an unsolvable problem appeared. Due to the deduction of wages, the broadsword team couldn't get their wages, so Han Muxia had to sell his property to soldiers at the price of 12 copper coins. Han Muxia's home was empty, and the broadsword team stopped its activities. After the Northeast Army changed hands, the trained broadsword team was incorporated into the 29th Army of Song Dynasty. On the eve of the "July 7th Incident", the Japanese ambition to attack North China and invade all of China has long been seen through by Chinese people. Song, the commander of 29 army, decided to use thousands of military commanders trained to organize and train the broadsword teams (also known as death squads) of each division to resist the Japanese army.

It is reported that Zhang Tuanchang of Zhang Zizhong did not leave. Led the broadsword team to fight the enemy 10 times in Xiaowangzhuang, Wanjia Wharf in Machang Jianhe area and Tangguantun in the west. The broadsword team's weapons are not only broadswords, but also commonly known as "the three big pieces of the 29th Army, long and short guns and broadswords, make the devils tremble at the sight of their legs". Han Muxia not only attaches importance to martial arts training, but also attaches importance to patriotism education and martial arts education for soldiers. Therefore, the quality of the broadsword team members is relatively high, and they are brave and good at fighting when fighting. They fought fiercely with the Japanese army in the area around the Jianche River in Machang. Although many people died for their country, the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties and countless dead people. According to the people, the blood shed at that time dyed the water in Machang River red. Bodies killed by the Japanese army dare not be transported during the day. It is only transported by rubber boats and other ships along the Chilong River and Weijin River north every night. This was witnessed by the older generation in the village around the north exit of Dalu Road.

Xifengkou World War I "broadsword team" commanding. In 22 years of the Republic of China, the Japanese army launched a rampant attack. 29 army soldiers stationed in the Great Wall are United as one enemy and bravely resist. When the broadsword team was relieved in xifengkou, it was suddenly attacked by more than 10,000 Japanese troops. The two sides fought fiercely and the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties. Because xifengkou is a strategic place, the Japanese army captured xifengkou with 30,000 troops. Liu Ruming, Zhang Zizhong, Zhao and other departments of our army decided to temporarily form a broadsword team with trainees from various "Wu Tuan", unexpectedly rushed into the Japanese position and hacked all the Japanese troops on the hill with broadswords. The next day, the Japanese army attacked xifengkou and Gubeikou crazily. The broadsword team ambushed in the hidden place of the peaks and hills. As soon as the Japanese arrived, they flocked out and fought bravely, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. Then, the broadsword team attacked the Japanese artillery positions and destroyed many cannons. Most broadsword soldiers died heroically. During World War I in xifengkou, the broadsword team showed great power in the anti-Japanese war, giving a fatal blow to the arrogant Japanese invaders.
