In the previous issue, I wrote a story about the first sword saint of Japan Yagyu Toshie . Then a friend asked Yagyu Toshie and Miyamoto Musashi both claimed to be Japan's No. 1 sword saint, who is stronger?

This question is very sharp. I will keep it a secret first and give you some evidence. You can also analyze it yourself.
We all know that Musashi Miyamoto's most of his achievements came from "Five Wheel Book" , which tells the story of his defeating the "New Dangliu" Arima Kibee in his first duel at the age of thirteen, defeating Akiyama, a samurai of Danma, at the age of 16, and going to Kyoto at the age of 21 to fight with swordsmen from various countries. From the age of thirteen to the age of 29, he fought more than 60 duels, without a single defeat.

seems to be a brilliant record, , but pay attention to this, this book is written by him himself !
, such as Ma Xibingwei, Qiushan, and these people, there is no way to check them. It is like the head of Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi Sect, Mr. Ma, told you that he had defeated countless martial arts masters with the five consecutive lightning whips, but when you check these masters, you will find that you can't check at all!
. He is most famous for his battle with Iwarujima and Kojiro Sasaki. The 28-year-old Miyamoto Musashi won the battle. He has become famous all over the world since then, but what is the situation in this battle? Who knows?
reprinted from the Internet
It is said that the two made a fair duel. Miyamoto Musashi first deliberately delayed the time, and then used words to anger Sasaki Kojiro, making Sasaki Kojiro anxious, and then was beaten to death by Miyamoto Musashi on a boat without using his unique trick!
This is too dramatic!
After this battle, Miyamoto Musashi became famous in the battle and became a great swordsman, while Sasaki Kojiro became his stepping stone.
However, after this, Miyamoto Musashi had no outstanding record .
Logically speaking, he was still young at that time and should have struck while the iron was hot to challenge some great swordsmen. For example, the patriarch of the Yagyu family, who was only 41 years old, was not. Compared with the perseverance of Yagyu Sectan who actively challenged Sword Saint and was unyielding to worship the swordsman as his master after being defeated, Miyamoto Musashi seemed a little rich and at ease.
There is a saying in Japan, called: Sanada Yukimura's gun, Miyamoto Musashi's sword , similar to the statement in martial arts novels: Kita Qiaofeng and Nan Murong, comparing Miyamoto Musashi's sword with Sanada Yukimura's gun.

However, this is still the case, although Sanada Yukimura is known as the "No. 1 Japanese soldier", he is not famous for his military value at all, and his height is more in line with the general height in Japan at that time, and it will not exceed 165cm. How can you use a gun for such a height?
We all know that Zhao Yun is a master of gun use. He is eight feet tall, about 23.5cm in the Han Dynasty. Zhao Yun is at least 180cm tall, and how could Sanada, who is less than 165cm tall, be a master of marksmanship?

Another point is that Sanada has basically no experience of fighting with others. As a general and military advisor, he commands the battle more in the rear than in the front, so his gun is simply a decoration !
Then we can imagine Miyamoto Musashi's knife , which is comparable to him.
Yao Shibuwei is different. His grandfather was a new Yin inheritor recognized by Sword Saint Hanizumi Nobuka . He inherited the name of Sword Saint . He is so famous that the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu wants to invite him to his home to show his skills. His father even rescued the eldest son of the Tokukang family with one enemy and seven in the chaos army. As for him, he can use his sword force to force his father to use all his strength at a young age. Although he was injured in his eyes, it was Yagyu Soryu, a generation of swordsman. With his full strength, Yagyu Shibuwei only injured his eyes, which shows his strength.

20 years old, Yagyu Shibingwei left home and wandered around. It was also during this period that he gradually became famous. Although his record was unknown, he was known as Yagyu Santiangou together with his father and grandfather, and his strength had surpassed that of the Sword Saint Grandfather. After returning to his hometown, countless people visited and learned the arts. The people who followed him once reached more than 10,000. Without hard strength, how could he do this?

There is also the most obvious evidence. The two-day first-rate created by Miyamoto Musashi has actually been lost. The 2-day rumor that is circulating now is actually created by later generations based on the military books written by Miyamoto Musashi and a part of the 2-bit rumor. Strictly speaking, it is no longer a school created by Miyamoto Musashi. The Yagyu family still exists today. Existence is justice. It is naturally not necessary to say more about !
reprinted from the Internet
In my opinion, in terms of strength, Yagyu Ten Bingwei is definitely stronger than Miyamoto Musashi. It is not that Miyamoto Musashi is not strong, his strength is not bad, but what he is more powerful is his psychological combat ability, that is, military strategy. From the battle with Kojiro Sasaki, it can be seen that his swordsmanship is far inferior to his military strategy, while his "Five Wheels Book" is more of a pursuit of mood. Yagyu is different. He is a very simple swordsman. He has made a fortune by exploring the world with his sword skills, just like one is Song Jiang and the other is Lin Chong. In terms of martial arts value, Lin Chong is far higher than Song Jiang, but in terms of fame, Song Jiang is far greater than Lin Chong!
To sum up, I think that Yagyu Shiwei is the real Japanese No. 1 Sword Saint. Miyamoto Musashi should be more like Yagyu Soju. He is a military master with great force but better skills in military tactics!
Because of limited information, this is just some of my personal one-sided views, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall. If a real master sees it and has different opinions, you can leave a message to discuss it. If one person plans to be short, the truth will become clearer the more he debates. Thank you for your advice!
