After the wrestling hall was closed, Master Yu not only had no money left in his hands, he even incurred several debts because of his apprentice's injury. In addition, his widowed sister-in-law was newly deceased, his nephew Yu Hong was studying in college, and his two sons were in high school.
Middle school, so his financial situation fell into a predicament similar to that after the disbandment of the "Guiyou Escort Bureau".
For this reason, Yu Hong once proposed to sell the dozen acres of land on the outskirts of Beijing for emergency purposes, but Master Yu refused because this was the property his brother had sacrificed his life for. But at the same time, he had no other solution, so
As a last resort, he had no choice but to sell his property to tide over the difficulties.
Master Yu’s residence is a small single-family house on Jingshan East Street. Due to its good location, the price is not bad, but it costs a lot to deal with various matters, so in order to make ends meet, he and his nephew
He had to find an excuse as soon as possible for his studies.
In this special historical period at that time, the employment model of warriors in society has undergone major changes. Although the escort industry has completely collapsed and disappeared, there are only a few masters qualified to open martial arts and wrestling venues. The places where warriors go seems to have changed.
It’s a narrow road, but the Republic of China was still a troubled time. In addition to the merchants and wealthy merchants who still needed bodyguards to protect their homes to protect their personal property, the princes and nobles of the Qing Dynasty also needed to hire bodyguards as long as their mansions still existed and they were still wealthy families.
Great facade.
Moreover, although those bureaucrats and warlords in important positions were strongly protected by the state machinery when they were in power, they had to be treated differently after they lost power and fell out of office. In addition, in the Jianghu gangs, there are all kinds of old men, big leaders, and helmsmen.
Leaders, commanders, and group leaders often have grudges of one kind or another with both internal and external parties. In the process of killing, these people will also be killed by others, so
There must always be a few personal bodyguards to cheer up and ensure that they are not plotted. Therefore, in this huge market with huge demand, birds of a feather flock together, people fall into groups, and all kinds of bodyguards and protected objects are combined one after another.
As a result, the bodyguard industry has experienced unprecedented prosperity. In other words, the most pragmatic way out for Mr. Yu at this time is to act as a bodyguard for high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
To be honest, given Mr. Yu's personal conditions and background, this is the most suitable job. Because the original main responsibility of the Shanpu camp, in addition to the task of suppressing the foreign vassals with wrestling skills, was to serve as the security and guard of the palace. The Puhu itself
At once
He is the earliest and most professional bodyguard in our country. In addition, Yuye defended Dashilan and opened a wrestling hall to compete with the heroes, which also made him famous in the capital. So if he is willing, it is not difficult to find someone willing to come forward.
High-priced employer.
What's difficult is that the master Yu Ye, who has a mediocre background and family background, doesn't want to serve him, because as long as he thinks of having to pay a few buckets of rice every day to greet the master's family, he feels uncomfortable and feels that he is losing his ancestors.
So when he rejected some industrial and commercial people, Jianghu people
After hiring people and some small bureaucrats, for a while no one dared to come to ask for help. In this way, Mr. Yu searched here and there for a year without finding a suitable place. As a result, the money from selling the house was also used up.
After running out of money, he was faced with the difficult question of whether to lower his body and submit.
Fortunately, sometimes God always arranges everything secretly. Just when Mr. Yu was in a dilemma, an "employment" opportunity that was extremely suitable for him actually appeared in front of him.
It turned out that in November 1924, Emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty had been expelled from the Forbidden City. Then in February 1925, Puyi moved to the Jinmen Concession and became an apartment. At this time, the old military guards of the Qing Dynasty
Having been completely disarmed and incorporated, Puyi's security was temporarily handed over to the Japanese army. So in order to re-establish his own security force as soon as possible, Puyi's Minister of Internal Affairs Shaoying soon began to send people to find martial arts masters near Beijing and Tianjin.
In this process, those military officers and imperial guards who had served the Qing Dynasty in the past naturally became the most trustworthy first choice. Besides, Shaoying himself was also a man with a yellow banner, so Yu Ye was even more valued and became a
The most important recruitment target. In order to attract this leader who is good at fighting, Shaoying did not hesitate. Not only did he personally go to the door to lobby, but he even offered the highest price of three hundred oceans of monthly salary for Master Yu.
This is indeed a good thing for Mr. Yu, because this job not only pays well, it is enough to support his nephew's studies and life. Moreover, the Qing royal family itself is the old master that his ancestors worked for, and there is no status or dignity.
Obstacle. So naturally, he agreed without much thought. Then he left his nephew alone in the capital to study at university, while he took his two sons and his two apprentices Tu Likun and Lei Sheng to go with him.
Zhang Yuan took office in Jinmen.
After arriving in Jinmen, the old people whom Puyi stayed with were naturally different from others, and Shaoying took care of them. Therefore, it was not hard for Yu Ye to be on duty every day, and the residences of his son and apprentices were also well arranged nearby.
It is very convenient for him to continue teaching his son and apprentices to continue learning wrestling.
In addition, there is another thing that makes Master Yu happy, that is, Luo Heling is working as the general consultant of the Chinese Martial Arts Association in Tianjin. So soon, Master Yu prepared all the gifts and came to visit. Luo Heling was also very happy to see Master Yu, and was very happy.
He received him warmly. However, he was very surprised when he heard that the wrestling hall was closed during the dinner, and he also hated the dirty behavior of Yin Xuan and Tong Shanhe. But the matter had come to this, and it would not help in the end. He could only persuade
Master Yu just wants to be more liberal.
As for Yu Ye's appointment in Zhang Yuan, Luo Heling did not show the disgust that Yu Ye was worried about, but once again showed a more open-minded attitude. Luo Heling said that since Xuantong had abdicated and moved out of the palace, then
As a member of the Republic of China, he naturally has the right to hire bodyguards to protect his own safety. He also advised Yu Ye not to mind too much, saying that the banner citizen system has long since ended and it only needs to be regarded as a normal employment relationship. In just a few words, he
This made Master Yu let go of the biggest burden in his heart.
After that, Master Yu often visited Luo Heling, and Luo Heling often invited him to meet him. The two of them chatted about current affairs and competed in martial arts, and they became more and more attached to each other.
Friendship. Therefore, it can be said that Master Yu's life in Jinmen was really a rare and happy time in his life.
It's just that perfect things in this world don't exist after all. Even if Mr. Yu has money to spend, things to do, martial arts seniors to learn from and seek advice from, and loving relatives to accompany him, over time, the consequences of this job will
Some of the side effects began to show up one by one, and each one made Yu Ye more upset and miserable.
For example, in Zhangyuan, Mr. Yu often sees many foreigners coming in and out for various reasons or with various purposes. Regardless of their status, these foreigners have one thing in common, that is, they are arrogant and very arrogant.
They look down upon Chinese people.
Because of his grandfather's affairs, Master Yu disliked foreign devils the most. What's more, many of these foreigners were not actually guests who came to visit Puyi, but bodyguards hired by Puyi's ministers and guests. This also made him
He was even more angry and could not bear this kind of contempt.
In this era, due to the wealthy families' worship of foreigners and the official favor of foreigners, a strange phenomenon has arisen in the bodyguard industry. That is, many people are willing to hire Japanese ronin at high prices and live in exile in Belarus to serve as bodyguards. For example, Puyi's biological father, the then regent Zaifeng,
So he hired a Japanese ronin, Takeo Mochihara, to act as his bodyguard.
In fact, this kid's kung fu is not very high, but due to the fearlessness of the ignorant and the boldness of thieves, as a Japanese samurai wearing a Japanese sword, no one dared to mess with him all over the capital. I don't know how many times I have fought against him.
Whether they gave in intentionally or because they were timid, he was the winner anyway. From then on, this kid regarded himself as a martial arts master and paid less attention to others. Gradually, even the Japanese military was fooled.
I had so much respect for him that he actually became a character.
To say that Mochihara Takeo is actually just a muddle-headed guy who became famous by bluffing people through some unforeseen circumstances. But just because he doesn’t know the heights of the world and has never met a real master, he has become the most arrogant among all foreign bodyguards.
One. Every time this kid comes to Zhang Yuan with Zaifeng, or runs errands and delivers letters for Zaifeng, he actually thinks of himself as half the master. Not only does he enter and exit Zhang Yuan wantonly, he refuses to accept any inspection, and he even treats the guards in Zhang Yuan.
Showing power, provoking and insulting wantonly.
For example, this boy often liked to boast in front of Zhang Yuan's guards about how powerful the Japanese samurai were, and ridiculed Chinese Kung Fu as useless. Once, he even said in front of many guards that Japanese judo was the best in the world.
Shan Puying's wrestling skills were only second to Shan Puying's wrestling skills. As a result, just this sentence completely angered Master Yu.
In Master Yu’s mind, what is Japan? The few small islands in the distant East China Sea are simply a small foreign country that is not even as good as North Korea. I think back then, even the banquet specifications were only ranked fourth. Those
When the envoys saw a table full of Manchurian pastries, they almost choked themselves to death, which seemed like a big deal. So even now, how could he let this frog in the well stand in front of him?
Insolent and rude?
So he said coldly to Takeo Mochihara, "Don't just talk but don't practice. If you have the guts, you should sweat it and see who is better in judo or your wrestling skills."
To be honest, everyone in Zhang Yuan's guards was dissatisfied after being bullied by Takeo Mochihara for a long time, and they all wanted to beat this kid to vent their anger. But firstly, everyone was worried about Zaifeng's face, and secondly, they heard that Takeo Mochihara was from
Having never met an opponent before, one could not help but be hesitant about Japanese martial arts, so no one dared to take the initiative to challenge him. But this time, everyone saw that Mr. Yu was angry and wanted to take action, so they shouldn't go all out to provoke him.
He was applauded. As a result, Ji Yuanwufu was immediately restrained and unable to get off the stage.
However, although Takeo Mochihara is barbaric, ignorant, and arrogant, he is not stupid. He saw that Yu Ye was covered in lumps and flesh, especially his two arms, which were like two iron rods. Looking at that sharp force,
With that power and calmness in his actions, he knew that Mr. Yu was not a friendly person. He couldn't help but show a timid look in his eyes, regretting the boast he had just made. So he made excuses to decline, saying that he would definitely succeed if he took action.
If you hurt someone, you're afraid of breaking Master Yu. Hua and Japan are friendly, right? The regent is the emperor's biological father, how can he really hurt the harmony between the two families?
When Master Yu heard this, he laughed angrily, and immediately took out a large envelope, not much, fifty yuan. This was the money Master Yu planned to send to the bank account to leave for his nephew to marry his wife today. At the same time,
Yuye also stretched out a finger and said to Takeo Mochihara, "You kid, don't brag. Just come up and pull it. If you can pull it, even if I lose, the fifty yuan will still be yours."
.But if you lose, you must abide by the rules here again."
Huh? This is too impossible!
Takeo Mochihara hasn't spoken yet, but the guards watching around him are a little anxious. These few really know that Yu Ye is capable, and they believe that if they really fight Yu Ye, they will definitely win, but the problem is that this is not a finger-wrangling competition.
ah.
What's wrong with Mr. Yu? Could it be that he fainted from anger? According to the conditions offered, don't let Mochihara take the money away if you can't teach him a lesson!
It was precisely because of this concern that several people tried to persuade Mr. Xie Yu to stop being angry and just let it go.
To say that these people are mistaken is a bit unfounded. Who is Mr. Yu? He can tell at a glance that the Japanese are too dignified and not flexible enough. If he goes by his impression of foreigners, he is really moved.
When he got his hands on it, he broke off the arm of the original martial artist with a cut of his hand, and with a slap of his feet, he was able to make this kid fall to the ground (in jargon, he fainted). In other words, for the sake of the emperor and his father, he
I'm sorry that I had to lie on the tatami for three months, so I just wanted to use this method to make a prescription (in jargon, try to trip it) and teach this kid a lesson.
Fortunately, Takeo Mochihara had already seen the advantage, and when these people persuaded him to give up, he stopped doing it. Instead, he jumped to his feet and shouted, "Keep your word," and immediately competed.
This is not surprising at all. Japanese people's greed is rooted in their bones. Takeo Mochihara's eyes gleamed as soon as he saw the ocean. Moreover, the conditions proposed by Yuye seemed to him as if he was deliberately giving him money. With that,
How can he think about it, if he really takes a finger and asks someone to pull it, will it still be impossible to pull it? This is not telling a story, it is serious!
So naturally, this boy had no worries at all, and he was not willing to let go of this opportunity to make money, so he was overjoyed and stepped forward step by step.
On the other side, seeing Mochihara approaching, Master Yu still looked nonchalant. He just stood there leisurely, leaning forward slightly, stretching his right hand forward, and waiting there with his middle finger pointed in the sky. He was not nervous at all.
.
But to be honest, people at that time didn’t understand. Now, Takeo Chihara would be so angry just for Yu Ye’s gesture. Because that’s called “fuckyou”!
It was said that it was too late and that it was too soon. I just said that the warrior Chihara walked up to Yu Ye, raised both hands together, grabbed Yu Ye's finger and pulled it away.
And at this moment, I heard Master Yu exhale and say "Hey", and suddenly shook his hand forward, and saw Takeo Mochihara fly away with a "Ah"!
In fact, 80% of this little devil was thrown out by himself. It turns out that Yu Ye’s move is exactly one of the "Eighteen Falls on the Clothes". There is a saying in the song that "the shoulder is like a wheel,
Hands as fast as the wind" means the combined force of concealment and suddenness.
If we analyze it scientifically, it is that when Chi Yuan grasped Yu Ye's finger, at that moment before he grasped it, Yu Ye suddenly exerted force. The harder Chi Yuan gripped Yu Ye's finger, the harder it would be.
The harder he fell. If he wanted to deal with this move, unless Mochihara's explosive speed could be faster than Yuye, it was simply impossible with this kid's few tricks. Besides, Japanese judo is not good at speed.
As for whether Yu Ye's fingers can bear it? Needless to say, this question goes without saying. You must know that Yu Ye's hands can separate the muscles and bones. If he really moved two fingers, he would not want Chi Yuan's wrist.
In short, Master Yu threw his opponent off his horse with just one move. After this fall, not only did he stay up for a long time, but the guards also screamed in shock, but Master Yu put away all the money, leaving only
Saying "I leave it all to you", he dusted his hands and walked away.
But what people didn't expect was that Takeo Mochihara came to Yuye's house the next day.
When Master Yu saw it, he immediately glared. "What's going on? Haven't you beaten enough?"
Mochihara trembled with fright, and quickly bowed, saying no, and then said, "I have two things to ask for your help. The first one is that you threw my people out yesterday. The prince knew about it and ordered me to come."
I apologize to you and please punish me as you please. Secondly, I want to officially become your disciple..."
Mr. Yu hurriedly waved his hands and said no, "The first thing is that a martial arts contest is a martial arts contest, and that's all. It's all about deciding the winner. That's the end of it. You kid, don't look down on anyone in the future. The second thing is, my wrestling
