Chapter 165 Eastern and Western Swordsmanship Part 1
At this time, Zhang Liushao, as he said to the public: "I only hope that my compatriots can understand my sincerity and forgive me for being stupid and incompetent. Although I have made many big mistakes and deserved the strongest criticism, I have indeed fought for the interests of our country, even though it is useless!"
Zhang Liushao, who was forced to step down, was naturally eager to find a way to make a comeback and revitalize himself. Driven by this urgent mentality, he chose Italy for his first stop for his inspection in Europe.
After the World War, Italy developed rapidly under the leadership of Mussolini. He looked up to Daming for a long time. I heard that Germany learned this.
Britain, France and other countries are even the world's great powers, so they must learn.
If you can go to the Soviet Union to observe and learn, it will be even more perfect.
Zhang Liushao felt that if he wanted to re-direct the Northeast Army, he had to learn from these European powers.
He had already talked with Wang Hong several times when he was bored on the boat.
After hearing this several times, Wang Hong was not interested in other words, except for knowing that Zhang Liushao had a very good relationship with the Italian prince-consort, but he was not interested in the others.
Zhang Liushao also knew that he was talking about Wang Hong, but he was really playing the piano with Niu, but he couldn't help but feel excited and wanted to find someone to talk about his heart.
The son-in-law of Mussolini in Italy, Earl Azo Ziano, was once an ambassador to China. He was close friends with Zhang Liushao. Mrs. Yu and Ziano's wife Ada Ziano are also close friends.
When Zhang Liushao arrived in Rome, he was warmly welcomed by the Italian authorities.
He was here at Ziano a few years ago and heard that it was the fundamental reason why Italy changed from decline to revitalization after World War I. Mussolini, which Ziano boasted about, suddenly became the idol that Zhang Liushao longed for.
Now that the Italian Foreign Minister has changed, Ziano, hopes to take this opportunity to promote and propaganda to Zhang Liushou, so he has called several times to urge Zhang Liushou to visit Italy as soon as possible.
Ziano arranged a small palace-style western-style building on the outskirts of Rome, the capital of Italy, as the place for Zhang Liushao and his group to stay.
Three days later, Ziano personally accompanied Zhang Liushao to the Italian Prime Minister's residence to visit Mussolini.
However, during several conversations with Mussolini, Zhang Liushao realized that he had found the wrong teacher.
Mussolini's several views made Zhang Liu Shao change from admiration to disgust.
Especially the sentence "It is the suppression of the enemy through armed violence!" made Zhang Liu extremely unhappy, and he reminded him of the Bushido of the Japanese Kanto Army.
In addition, on the one hand, he saw the superficial authority of ideology, and on the other hand, he also realized that it was essentially synonymous with cruelty, barbarism and violence, and he developed resistance and disgust from the bottom of his heart.
When he saw through this, Mussolini invited Zhang Liushao to talk, and he refused on the grounds that he was sick.
None of these has anything to do with Wang Hong, he has fallen into communication with Western swordsmanship.
Zhang Liushao stayed in Italy for a total of three months. Since they were all official receptions and accompanied by senior officials, Wang Hong was not involved in anything.
Wang Hong found an opportunity to talk to Ziano, wanting to have some communication with Italian swordsman.
After Ziano learned about Wang Hong's identity, he believed that this was a high-level exchange between Eastern and Western cultures in swordsmanship, and immediately transferred the news to the Italian cultural department. So Wang Hong welcomed a group of ancient swordsmanship researchers and ancient swordsmanship practitioners to visit.
So, when Zhang Liushou became more and more dissatisfied, Wang Hong discovered something more and more interesting.
Italian swordsmanship is also a long history, with many ancient schools and different styles. It is not as soft as pasta, nor is it like the romance of Italian adults.
Like the Italian sword-stopping technique, although it can only be used for duels under the constraints of recognized rules, the sword moves are practical and fierce, and the sword style has developed to the extreme that can be used.
Compared with Chinese swordsmanship, the famous Fiore School of swordsmanship has many similar theories. This school also has feminine force-release techniques, avoiding the opponent's sword blade and attacking the empty gate, which looks a bit fancy. Its force-release slide sword side-strike, lowered its side-strike, and used the use of sword grid and hilt in the middle line, which lacks many fancy movements in Chinese swordsmanship, which are simple and terrifying, and also has exquisite pace and distance control techniques. In essence, it is very similar to Wang Hong's swordsmanship.
This surprised Wang Hong.
When he was in the Central National Wushu Museum, he really had the Great Chinese idea of "not as good as all the barbarians in terms of martial arts skills". After reaching the level of Mingjin, he even had the idea of "Central Plains martial arts, profound and meticulous".
But when you look at going abroad, foreign things also come out of the battlefield, each with its own essence, each with its own tricks, and each has its own application.
On the contrary, there are too many Chinese martial arts, and there are even fewer sects that have not stopped fighting. Most people only say that their ancestors are powerful.
The general context of European swordsmanship has never been broken, and the martial arts are not very detailed, but they are practical enough, and there are enough physical evidence for future generations to ponder.
Wang Hong also discovered a very interesting thing, that is, there are many scholars in Italy who only study swordsmanship but do not participate in practice. They may not be good at using swordsmanship, but they can clearly explain the history of the development of swordsmanship and its evolution, and are completely scholars who are academic.
This is incredible in China. If you don’t practice it, how can you understand it?
The fact is that these people who do not practice have no more subjective research when doing academic research, and they use reasonable and well-founded research methods. This is very helpful to Wang Hong, allowing him to understand swordsmanship from a perspective that is separated from his own perspective and to grasp the essence of swordsmanship more macroscopically.
At the beginning, the Italian side came to meet Wang Hong, and all such scholars were like this.
The academic gains are from both sides, and these researchers have also begun to understand the style and characteristics of Chinese swordsmanship, and have referenced each other with European swordsmanship research.
It was not until the Italian government found several swordsman masters who could represent the face of a country that they were ready to communicate at the technical level.
Each chapter says: After entering the Qing Dynasty, the boxing skills between boxers were mainly divided into two categories: one was a hand-to-hand type, and the same as pushing. Like Tai Chi's pushing hands, the hand-to-handed hands, the hand-to-handed hands, the hand-to-handed hands, the main focus is not to hurt the qi and win or lose. The other is a hand-to-handed type, which is slightly further away than the pushing type, and uses kicking, hitting and throwing to get four skills. The pushing and shoving skills are indeed a good way to pursue the "good skills" of the body, but they can only be concentrated among the martial artists. If they are enlarged, they will become what Tai Chi is now, and can play.
It cannot be used. However, the martial arts that are not good at hand can only be communicated among boxers. Everyone competes with martial arts skills. The evaluation is: "Your move is good, I am not as good as you", rather than modern competitions that can be considered to win even if you defeat people. Because of the pursuit of simple wins and losses, swords, swords, guns and sticks can achieve the result of "I stand, you fall, you will never have a chance to win me" and kill the killing of one blow. In the Song Dynasty, there was a very vivid word for modern competitive competition: "play".
