After Barto founded Shaolin Temple, bodhidharma, an Indian monk, came to Shaolin Temple to spread Mahayana Buddhism and was called "the ancestor of Zen" by later generations. According to legend, the earliest martial arts in Shaolin Temple was taught by Dharma. At the end of Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. King Tang and Wang fought a fierce battle in Henan. Because the temple property was occupied by the king's army, Shaolin monks helped Tang Jun capture Aizhou City, which is the origin of the famous "Shaolin Thirteen Stick Monks". Since then, Shaolin Temple has been chartered to guard monks and soldiers, and has gradually become a master of China Wushu in the cold weapon era. But little known is that in modern times, Shaolin Temple used to have a powerful force, not only using traditional broadswords and spears, but also owning modern weapons such as rifles and machine guns. Shaolin Temple Monks and Soldiers Group once left a deep impression on the history of warlord melee in the early years of the Republic of China. In the early years of the Republic of China, warlords scuffled, bandits ran rampant and the people were in dire straits. At this time, Shaolin Temple has declined, and the monks only think about the safety of the temple. The monk Henglin of Shaolin Temple contributed to the safety of the temple. Henglin, a native of Songzhai, Yichuan County, is commonly named Song. In addition to Zen meditation, he also learned boxing, and his martial arts are superb. Due to the local public security disorder, the county government appointed him as the "Chief of the Shaolin Temple Public Security Corps", so he had to "treat the bodhisattva's heart as a diamond", buy guns and train monks and soldiers in case of emergency. In the autumn of the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), Henglin led the militia to fight dozens of battles with bandits in Dengfeng County, Tizigou and Baiyugou, and won every time. Once, gang leaders Zhu Baocheng, Niu Gang, Sun, Duan and other accomplices raided Luzhuang Town, Gongxian County at night. Tomorrow, they were found and fled to the southwest. The vigilante groups in the nine districts of Gongxian County are in hot pursuit. The bandits crossed the Yanshifu store, and the militia in Yanshi County 14 and 15 also joined the pursuit team. Bandits fled to Xiaoziping of Shaolin Temple, and were stopped by Shaolin Temple militia led by Henglin, most of them were wiped out. A large number of guns and ammunition were seized in this battle, all of which were hidden in Shaolin Temple. Henglin is famous for its bravery and fighting skill, and bandits dare not invade the territory, so dozens of villages around the temple can live and work in peace and contentment. Henglin was therefore commended by the county government. In the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923), Henglin became ill from overwork at the age of 59. The following spring, more than 300 people from Dengfeng, Gongxian, Yanshi and Linru counties raised funds to pay their respects to Hengli Monument. After Henglin died, his disciple Miaoxing took over as the general manager of Shaolin Temple Security Corps. Miao Xing, Zi Jin, is from Xiewan Village, Linru County. His family is poor. At the age of eight, he joined the Shaolin Temple Henglin as a teacher. He studied boxing and martial arts since he was a child, and his skills were superb. He was nicknamed "Ocean's Gold". In the eleventh year of the Republic of China (1922), during the first direct war, the commander of the direct warlord Wu Department went to Dengfeng to recruit and serve as an army. Fan Zhongxiu of Zhang Yushan, head of the 4th Henan Temporary Regiment, went to Shaolin Temple to have a rest. When he saw that the Hall of the Great Hero was broken, he was anxious to repair it. Because of military affairs, he temporarily donated 400 yuan to buy materials. The monk in the temple was grateful and contacted Fan You. The following autumn, Wu was appointed as the governor of three provinces in Lu Yu. Zhang Yushan was ordered to enlist the rangers of Hubei First Division in Dengfeng area. Lv Yaotang, the brigade commander of the first brigade where he was located, learned that Miaoxing had outstanding martial arts and guns in the temple, so he tried his best to win Miaoxing and formed the first regiment of the first brigade headed by Miaoxing. In this way, Miao Xing joined the military group in Wu. In February of the 14th year of the Republic of China (1925), the "Battle between Hu and Han" broke out in western Henan. Liu Zhenhua, Shaanxi Province sent Han Yukun to lead an army into Henan to fight for Zhongzhou with Hu Jingyi, the governor of Henan Province. Fan Zhongxiu, the Hu department of Yanshi, sent Li Shenya, the fool department, to defect. When Han Bu Cui Jihua retreated from Mi County, Miao Xing led the troops to help Li Shenya attack Cui Jihua and greatly supported Fan Zhongxiu. Since then, the relationship between Miao Xing and Fan Zhongxiu has become closer. In the 15th year of the Republic of China (1926), in July, the Guangzhou Revolutionary Army began its northern expedition. In September, Feng Yuxiang announced that he had left the Northern Warlords and participated in the national revolution. Wu United Zhang to attack Feng Yuxiang and was defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army. /kloc-in the spring of 0/927, Feng Yuxiang occupied Xi 'an and cooperated with the Northern Expeditionary Army to attack Henan. In February, the first regiment led by Miao Xing was ordered to go to Zhengzhou and then to Wuyang. On March 6th, Miao Xing was killed in the battle with Ren, at the age of 37. In March of the Republic of China 17, Fan Zhongxiu, the founding commander, took advantage of the emptiness behind Feng Yuxiang's national army and captured Gong County and Yanshi County, but was soon recaptured by Feng Department. Fan Zhongxiu withdrew from the south and transferred to Dengfeng County, with its headquarters in Shaolin Temple. Shi Yousan pursued south to Xuanyuanguan, and Shaolin monks helped Fan attack, but were defeated. On March 15, Shi Yousan chased Shaolin Temple and set it on fire. The next day, Su, the brigade commander of the national army (Feng Yuxiang's department) stationed in Dengfeng, ordered the sergeant to bring kerosene to the temple, and set fire to the Heavenly King Hall, Mahayana Hall, Temple of Six Ancestors, Hall of Hades, Dragon King Hall, Bell and Drum Tower, incense kitchen, warehouse, East and West Zen Hall, Imperial Palace and other places to vent their anger. If it is commendable that Henglin was forced by the situation to be the "general manager of the regiment" and protected the safety of the temple and one side, then Miaoxing took refuge in the Beiyang warlord and became the "head of the regiment" to participate in the election, which not only violated the Buddhist temple regulations, but also brought disaster to Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple is famous for its martial arts, which once made it proud and suffered disasters. However, in any case, Shaolin Temple is more impressive in the history of China because of its martial arts. The greatest contribution to China culture is its enduring martial spirit.
