Many people know that General Xu Shiyou, who was born in Shaolin, is very strong and possesses extraordinary martial arts skills. He also masters a variety of boxing and weapons, but few people know that General Qian Jun is also learning skills in Shaolin.
Because Qian Jun entered Shaolin three years later than Xu Shiyou, and there were many monks in the temple at that time, they were not familiar with each other. It was not until the Long March of the Red Army, when the two met and chatted, that they realized that they were brothers from the Shaolin Division.
1. Young Lin and martial arts
Qian Jun's hometown is Guangshan County, Henan Province . In 1905, he was born in a poor and poor family in the local area. In order to have a meal, he herded cattle for the landlord's house at the age of 6, and was often beaten and scolded for no reason. Until he was 13 years old, he heard from the old man in the village that after he learned his skills at Shaolin Temple, no one dared to bully him.
Not long after, Qian Jun set out from his hometown with dry food, walked for six days and six nights before he arrived at Shaolin Temple, becoming a lay disciple who specialized in martial arts, and thus began his five-year career in Shaolin martial arts.
During those days in Shaolin, Qian Jun was practicing hard except for three meals a day and sleeping at night. At that time, he did not sleep in bed every day, but on five slender wooden stakes. These wooden stakes are embedded in the walls, leaving people with very narrow sleeping places. If they fall down at night, they will be punished.
Later, Qian Jun also learned Shaolin's unique skill " Cinnabar Palm ". As long as he exercised his skills, a bluestone slab that was more than half a foot thick could be shattered by him with one palm. In addition, Qian Jun is also proficient in , , so he is deeply loved by his master.
Although Qian Jun is very skilled, he rarely shows himself in front of outsiders. Except for some close friends and family, there are very few people who know that he has such skills.
The reason why Qian Jun chose to act low-key is because when practicing martial arts in Shaolin, his master always emphasized to him that he should not be competitive, and that he should focus on upholding justice. If he can eliminate violence and maintain good fortune for the people, that is the most proud and proud.
2. After studying in the revolutionary cause, Qian Jun joined the Communist Party of China in 1927. After the failure of the Great Revolution, he joined the Revolutionary Army and has since fought in difficult environments such as the steep mountains and ridges in Hubei, Henan and Anhui. Because of his martial arts, Qian Junxue has been in the battle for many years, and he is more powerful in the battlefield of killing enemies.
At that time, there was an organization called " Red Gun Club " in Guangshan County, Henan Province. The members of the company often do many evil things nearby, and even the local government dared not care about them. In 1932, the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to pull out this "nail". Qian Jun, as the captain of the pistol team, led a group of team members and acted very quickly and directly hit the "Red Gun Club" nest.
In this battle, Qian Jun showed his skills, and many members of the "Red Gun Society" were subdued by him one by one. Moreover, in the process of fighting with Wu Xiaotian, the president of the Red Gun Society, Qian Jun was not timid at all and eventually gained the upper hand. Wu Xiaotian had to escape in panic, while the others obediently surrendered.
After the Red Army began the Long March, Qian Jun became the political commissar of the 33rd Regiment of the Red Fourth Front Army. In a battle, he was pierced through his abdomen by the enemy and bleeding a lot. At that time, the comrades around him thought that he had sacrificed , so they found a coffin without a cover in the local area and put him in it.
The next day, when the leader learned that he had sacrificed and was about to say goodbye to him, he actually found Qian Jun with his eyes open, and everyone was very happy about this.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Qian Jun served as the deputy commander of the First Detachment of the East Column. One day in October 1939, the enemy suddenly attacked Wujing Town where Qian Jun was located and occupied the commanding heights. Qian Jun quickly organized a combat plan. After 17 hours of fierce battle, the Eighth Route Army won a complete victory, not only killing most of the Japanese army, but also seizing many heavy weapons.
3. Improper monks and generals
During the war, Qian Jun was injured no less than 20 times, and 15 of them were bullets directly through his body. Because of the skills and strong physique he had developed in Shaolin Temple in his early years, he pulled him back from the brink of death every time.
During the War of Liberation, Qian Jun led his troops to fight in Qilu Dadishan. In December 1946, Qian Jun was ordered to lead his troops to attack the enemy's guarded Prince Hall stronghold. In January 1947, Qian Jun officially launched an attack on Prince Hall. After a day and night of fighting, the Prince Hall stronghold was taken down. In addition to capturing more than 2,000 enemy troops, it also laid a good foundation for the victory of Lunnan Battle.
After that, Qian Jun took on many tough tasks and participated in important battles such as Jinan Battle , Huaihai Battle , and achieved a series of results while annihilated and captured the enemy in large numbers.
After the founding of New China, Qian Jun served as the commander of the Jiaodong Military Region. At the 1955 grand ceremony, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Five years later, he was transferred to Zhejiang and became the commander of the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region. Since then, he has worked with General Xu Shiyou for a long time as deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region .
Premier Zhou praised Qian Jun and Xu Shiyou as "Shaolin Twin Generals", while Chairman Mao joked that they were not monks and generals.
In his later years, Qian Jun still "fisted his hand", and getting up early to practice martial arts is a must-do every day. Although Qian Jun is very skilled, he never aims his palm at his comrades.
Conclusion
After retiring from the army, Qian Jun sorted out his practice experience into a "secret book" and published it, which enriched the treasure house of traditional Chinese martial arts. In 1990, 85-year-old Qian Jun unfortunately passed away due to heart and kidney disease, ending his legendary life.
