Ma Yongzhen, who came to Shanghai with Ma Fu, made a living by selling horses, and also went to Mongolia, Jehol, Chahar and other places many times to sell horses ... Among the Hui people who are active in China, there are many martial arts masters. Ma Yongzhen, a Hui nationality in Linqing County, Shandong Province, was born into a martial arts family. He is good at riding and training horses. 65438+ came to Shanghai with Ma Xingtong's father in the late 1950s. Because he didn't want to be a groom, he made a living by teaching martial arts, and also shut down take-away horses. In the autumn horse race in the 11th year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty, he defeated Steve from England, won two races, and served as an instructor in Ying Zheng, Songjiang Prefecture in Qing Dynasty.

"You have a lot to do with these secrets in Shanghai. Ma Yongzhen, who was all-powerful in those days, also had secrets of martial arts. " Fan Keping said that in fact, a considerable part of his secrets are still kept in Shanghai. "I heard that a reporter from Shanghai came and sent it specially." He said that in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Shanghai's economy was developed, and many bookstores were keen on photocopying and publishing martial arts secrets, such as Chinese and Western bookstores, business libraries and Wulin Publishing House. So many secrets were obtained directly from Shanghai. In fact, the old Shanghai beach is also a place where folk martial artists are concentrated. "And Ma Yongzhen, his secret of martial arts, which I still keep here," Fan Keping said. Ma Yongzhen, a native of Shandong in the late Qing Dynasty, was famous for his bravery in Shanghai, and he was the most famous gangster martial arts expert in the history of old Shanghai. Ma Yongzhen, a TV movie based on real events, also appeared one after another. "Secret records, Ma Yongzhen's kung fu is Taihang boxing, not Shandong people don't preach. Punch hard and soft, fast and slow. In fact, his sister Ma Suzhen is even better at kung fu than his brother. " Fan Keping said. After her success, she often bullied her sister Ma Suzhen. For this reason, Ma Suzhen practiced martial arts harder. Ma Yongzhen wanted to roam the world to broaden his horizons, because he didn't want to farm at home, and his sister Su Zhen didn't want his brother to leave his hometown and tried to dissuade him. Ma Yongzhen didn't think so, so she got up secretly in the middle of the night and ran away from home.
Proud side of personality (Jianghu unofficial history, if there are similarities, it is purely coincidental)
Ma Yongzhen's kung fu can be said to be one of the best in the Jianghu, but this man has a great shortcoming that he is too proud. After Ma Yongzhen left home, he didn't know how to treat people and be polite to others. He set up circles everywhere, posted couplets and boasted about himself. The first part is "punching north and south", and the second part is "kicking all over the country". No one has such a big breath. Although Ma Yongzhen's piling skills are not as stable as his sister Su Zhen's "Tai Shan is the most important", they are 100 times better than modern martial artists. When Ma Yongzhen passed by Zhejiang, an old man from Jiaxing came to visit him. The old man is proficient in the "jade belt skill" in Shaolin's seventy-two stunts and can carry a thousand pounds. Ma Yongzhen is very kind to the old man. After a few drinks, he got up and changed his clothes. He put on a hero coat with goose skin sleeves, green satin boots on his feet and a blue wool hat on his head, and invited the old man to fight outdoors. When the old man came out, Ma Yongzhen found a chain about 30 feet long and weighing 200 kilograms. There is a big iron ring at each end of the chain. Yongzhen put her thumb in the hoop and asked the old man to do the same. They stood face to face, pulling each other. Not to be outdone, the old man listened and pulled each other for about half an hour. Although the old man can carry a thousand pounds, he is old, weak and his legs are a little slack. He was dragged by Ma Yongzhen, and the old man left in shame.
Later, Ma Yongzhen went to Yangzhou for three days, and no martial artist in Yangzhou could beat him. As a result, Ma Yongzhen boasted that "I am invincible in Yangzhou", which angered a hermit named Xanthium who lived in Yangzhou. Xanthium is a strange person with special skills, because Ma Yongzhen is so arrogant. In order to punish him and let him know the truth of keeping a low profile, he first ran to Zhenjiang to wait for him. Ma Yongzhen saw that after three days of boasting, he still had no rival. He is very proud. He came to Zhenjiang. After arriving in Zhenjiang, an old man saw him and asked him, "Are you Ma Yongzhen, the invincible city of Yangzhou?" Ma Yongzhen gave him a contemptuous look and said, "I am. Who are you? " The old man replied: "I am the second son of Cang in Yangzhou." I want to make a gesture with you. Will you? " Ma Yongzhen said, "Of course." Cang Erzi invited Ma Yongzhen to lead the cargo ship in the river. Ma Yongzhen doesn't know what happened. He looked up at the cargo ship, which carried about100000 kilograms of goods. All the cables on the ship are tied, and there is still a distance of about three feet offshore. Ma Yongzhen thought it was nothing, so he bent down and grabbed the cable, dragging it with all his strength, and the boat did not move. Ma Yongzhen felt very ashamed. The second son of Cang conveniently took the cable and pulled it backhand. The ship followed the waves. Ma Yongzhen was frightened to disgrace and ran across the river trembling. Later, when Ma Yongzhen arrived in Shanghai, he forgot all about the past and that there was someone behind the scenes. He still despised everyone.
Was calculated to kill "a hole in the sky"
On March 22nd (1879) in the 5th year of Guangxu reign (April 3rd), the Boxer and horse dealers Gu and others had tea at Dong Tian Teahouse on Nanjing East Road due to a debt dispute. After climbing the stairs, a group of people sat in a row, and Ma Yongzhen sat down. A lime bag flew head-on and fascinated his eyes. He slammed the self-defense iron ruler, missed, and was stabbed in the head with a knife, trying to struggle. He cut his right ankle with a sharp knife, and then his left foot bone. Fell to the ground and someone cut him twice. Pick up the bench and throw it at Gu. He was bleeding profusely and wanted to throw it again. Gu dare not jump out of the window to escape. After the patrol, he sent Gu and Ma to Tijen Hospital. At that time, the police also captured Ma Lian, and Ma Yongzhen died of his injuries that night.
