Chapter 90 The Real Wu Song in History
How did this ability help him escape?
Once, when Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting against Chen Youliang, he led his troops through a valley. This valley was the kind of "coffin" terrain - the entrance was large, but it became narrower as you went in, and there were steep cliffs on both sides.
The fatal thing is that when the team was marching to the bottom of the valley, they were attacked by Chen Youliang's troops who were ambushing in the valley. Huge boulders rolled down the mountain. As a result, many soldiers of Zhu Yuanzhang's troops were smashed into meat patties. It was so miserable that in the valley,
Suddenly there were screams, neighing of horses, and calls for help, and the valley instantly turned into a hell on earth. The soldiers were completely frightened, and they ran around desperately at the bottom of the valley. Those with a little clearer heads still knew where to go.
They rushed towards the entrance of the valley, intending to escape quickly, but many soldiers seemed to have completely lost consciousness and ran around like headless flies. No matter how loudly the generals yelled and ordered, it had no effect.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very panicked at first, but because he had been on the battlefield for a long time and had developed extraordinary psychological quality, he could quickly regain his composure. When he looked up, he found a huge boulder above his head, which was falling from the sky.
, but the moment he saw the huge stone, he suddenly felt that all the sounds around him disappeared, and the stone suddenly became like a slowly falling snowflake, falling so slowly. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately turned over and dismounted.
, rushed forward a few steps, and dodged away feeling very relaxed.
But when he stopped to look, the stone had fallen, but the soldiers around him did not move away, and they were either killed or injured. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the middle, which also meant that he had the possibility of escaping.
He was the youngest, and those soldiers had a greater chance of escaping. For some reason, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who rushed out first, but those on the side did not have time to run away. This shows Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction.
The speed is many times faster than them.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the situation was extremely dangerous, so he did not dare to hesitate or be careless at all. He concentrated and stared closely at the boulders rolling down. In the eyes of others, those boulders that were too fast to avoid were very dangerous to him.
For example, it was as slow as a wild boar walking slowly. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang could easily dodge these terrifying and destructive boulders one by one. Zhu Yuanzhang did not feel at all how fast the boulders were.
He didn't feel how fast he was. He was just concentrating like the time he caught the Daji bird when he was a child, as if he was in another space. In that space, objects that were originally moving very fast moved around him.
Inexplicably, it became very slow.
This attack caused heavy casualties to Zhu Yuanzhang's troops, especially those who happened to be in the middle of the valley when they were attacked. Almost all of them were killed or seriously injured. Only the troops at both ends of the valley were able to evacuate quickly from the valley.
Therefore, the casualties were relatively small. When he was attacked, Zhu Yuanzhang happened to be in the middle of the valley. Almost everyone around him was injured and killed, but he was the only one who escaped unscathed.
Since this battle, people have spread the legend that Zhu Yuanzhang is protected by the immortal Daluo, and he is invulnerable to fire and water. Some people even secretly say that this Zhu Yuanzhang is not simple, but has "the destiny of an emperor". This is also a blessing in disguise, Zhu Yuanzhang
Although he lost a lot of troops, his prestige in the team has been greatly improved, which is of great significance to a person who leads troops in war.
As Emperor Jianwen listened, he became more and more awe-struck for the old monk. He suddenly felt that this old monk was one of those so-called "extraordinary men" who had extraordinary wisdom and insight, and was even more powerful than ordinary people.
With unparalleled strategies and ways of thinking, he actually understood his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang better than himself, and through various events like this, he analyzed Zhu Yuanzhang's magical abilities.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Zhu Yuanzhang is an unpredictable monarch, but in his eyes, he is more like a loving grandfather. Although he has very strict requirements for this grandson, there is always a deep sense of harshness in his eyes.
Especially when the grandson and his grandson get along in private, Zhu Yuanzhang even more shows his love and affection for his grandson.
In order for his descendants to successfully inherit the country, Zhu Yuanzhang began to massacre the ministers who were in conflict with him. He killed the elders who started the business with him one by one, but only Fa Xiaotanghe was left, and he
Tang He thought highly of her, and Tang He finally died a good death.
At that time, people rumored privately that there was another reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill Tang He, and at that time, there was also such a story among the people:
It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, he often led the children in the village to play games. One day, they played the game of "being an emperor" on a mound. It was a group of children who took turns pretending to be the emperor and accepted the children who picked him up and knelt down to worship him. Zhu Yuanzhang
While sitting on the mound, other children knelt down to worship him and shouted "Long live". Zhu Yuanzhang acted smoothly on the mound without any abnormality. But when it was other children's turn to play emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang only had to kneel down to him.
, the child would fall down from the mound. When it was Tang He's turn, he was also thrown down like this, so Tang He shouted angrily: "What kind of bird emperor are you Zhu Chongba? When I grow up, you will be the best."
I can't overthrow you." After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he loudly responded to Tang He: "How dare you be so bold, let me push and pull you down and chop him." Immediately, two children pulled Tang He to the sorghum field and picked the sorghum.
The next sorghum leaf pretended to be a ghost-headed knife and chopped down on Tang He's neck. Unexpectedly, this thin leaf actually made a cut on Tang He's neck.
Therefore, people say that Tang He was beheaded once by Zhu Yuanzhang when he was a child, so after becoming a minister, Tang He escaped.
Emperor Jianwen still remembered that he once used this story to ask his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang for confirmation. The people around him were so frightened that their faces turned pale, fearing that Zhu Yuanzhang would be furious at such nonsense. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to these words of his grandson Tongyanwuji.
In the end, not only did I laugh out loud, I even burst into tears.
Therefore, Emperor Jianwen's memory of his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang had no cruelty or ruthlessness. In his eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a kind grandfather.
But why did the old monk tell himself these things about his grandfather?
"I didn't expect that the master knew Taizu's deeds so well. As an unworthy descendant of Taizu, I feel ashamed. I will keep what the master said in mind. I also hope that Taizu's spirit in heaven can protect me..."
Just as he said this, Emperor Jianwen suddenly saw the old monk using the chopsticks in his hand to gently pinch a flying fly in the air. The light in the room was so dim, and the fly flew so fast.
Thinking that this old monk can clamp it easily, does it mean that he, like his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, also has the ability to "see the fast before the slow"?
The old monk saw Emperor Jianwen's mouth slightly open and looked at his every move in surprise. He couldn't help but smile dumbly, nodded slightly, and said: "Your Majesty is right, I also have the ability of Taizu. I
When I was studying art, my master felt my bones and pulse, and he knew that I had such ability. However, my ability was buried deep in my nature and it was difficult to express it. This was different from Grandpa Taizu. He was born naturally.
I can mobilize this ability, but I can't. The master said that I must practice hard on my own before I can bring this ability into play. So he taught me how to meditate, adjust my breath, and enter concentration. But this is just the basics. If I want to truly master it,
This ability must go through a life-and-death scare before this talent can be stimulated.
After practicing meditation and pranayama for a long time, one day, the master suddenly called me in front of me and asked me to go to a cave in the back mountain to get a sword he had hidden there. Of course, I accepted the order happily, but I didn't expect that.
Yes, the master was lying to me. In fact, there was no sword at all in that cave. Instead, there was a tiger living there. When I came to the cave, I was about to go in to find the sword. Unexpectedly, a tiger suddenly appeared in front of me.
In front of my eyes, and looking at me eagerly, I was scared to death, and the blood all over my body seemed to be flowing backwards. I felt that I would soon be torn to pieces by this hungry-looking tiger and turned into a pile of bones.
, thinking about that miserable situation, I was so frightened that I vomited. The tiger roared, and it suddenly pounced on me. It’s strange to say that the moment the tiger jumped up, I suddenly felt that all the sounds around me were loud.
The tiger disappeared, and the tiger's movements suddenly became very slow. I watched it leap into the air and slowly pounce towards me. I felt that I just didn't dodge very fast, but unexpectedly it got out of the way, and then
I always felt that there was something wrong with this tiger. It was always moving slowly, but I effortlessly dodged its attacks time and time again.
I don’t know how long it took, but the tiger walked away helplessly. Maybe it didn’t understand why it couldn’t catch the prey right next to its mouth. When the tiger disappeared, I calmed down and realized that
My clothes were soaked with sweat, and I just felt a little weak at the time. I didn't feel too tired. But when I returned to the temple, I fell asleep for three days and three nights. When I woke up three days later, I felt like I was sleeping.
Every piece of flesh and every joint in my body aches."
After hearing this, Emperor Jianwen couldn't help but smile in surprise and said: "I didn't expect that the master was also a strange person. He could escape from the tiger's mouth. This ability is comparable to that of Wu Song in the Song Dynasty."
The old monk also waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is laughing, but what your Majesty mentioned about Wu Song's ability to escape from a tiger's mouth and his tiger-killing deeds were probably made up by storytellers. According to historical records, Wu Song was nothing more than
He was a martial artist. At that time, the Hangzhou magistrate saw Wu Song's martial arts skills and outstanding talents, so he made an exception and promoted him to the head of the capital. Therefore, Wu Song definitely did not become the head of the capital because of hunting tigers. Someone has verified it,
There really were tigers in the Central Plains during the Song Dynasty. But killing a tiger with bare hands is sheer nonsense - Your Majesty, you know that the tiger's skull is so hard that it can even use an iron plate more than an inch thick.
The head was knocked out of a crater. The iron plate on the gate of our temple was often hit by tigers with their heads at night, so I knew very well how hard the tiger's skull was. How could Wu Song possibly kill the tiger by just hitting the tiger's head with his fist?
What about beating to death?
Later, the high-ranking magistrate of Hangzhou was dismissed from office because he offended the powerful and was framed by traitors. Wu Song was also implicated and lost his job.
The person who took over as the magistrate of Hangzhou was Cai Ke, the son of Grand Master Cai Jing. As soon as he took office, this kid started to act recklessly. He bullied men and dominated women in the village of fish and meat, and committed all kinds of evil, which made the local people complain. Wu Song hated him so much that he decided to risk his life.
Assassinate Cai Ke. One day, he concealed a sharp knife and hid near the door of Cai Ke's house, waiting for an opportunity. When Cai Ke appeared, Wu Song rushed forward with lightning speed and stabbed Cai Ke several times, killing the boy on the spot.
Wu Song also failed to escape and was captured, and was later brutally tortured and died in prison. This is the real Wu Song in history. Just talking about his ability to escape in dangerous situations, not only compared with Taizu, but also compared with Lao Na.
