What is the relationship between the hegemony in Shanghai and Quzhou?

Speaking of Ma Yongzhen, a famous martial arts teacher who had a great influence in Shanghai in the late Qing Dynasty, some people said that he was from Linqing, some people said that he was from Chencun, Qiu County, and some people said that he was from Shanghai. These statements are all good and well-founded. But I want to say that Ma Yongzhen is from Quzhou. Because Ma Yongzhen's ancestral grave is in Quzhou? What the hell is going on here? Please follow me to find out today.

Last winter, the Quzhou county government conducted a survey on 100 villages of Ming immigrants. I happened to participate in this work, and Beisitou Village in Yizhuang Township was investigated.

The archway is the symbol of Beisitou Village. This ancient archway in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty has stood in the village for more than 600 years.

Beisitou is located in the southeast corner of Quzhou County, 40 kilometers away from the county seat, at the junction of Guantao, Guangping and Quzhou counties. With a land area of 8,300 mu and a population of 5,500, it is one of the best villages in Quzhou County. The Ma family in the village migrated here from Ouze Village, Zhangzi County, Tunliu County, Lu 'an District, Shanxi Province during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. Great grandfather's name is Ma Minzhong. Ma's family lives in Sitou Village, where they farm and thrive. To Liumatang, moved to Chencun, Qiu County, Linqing District, Shandong Province. Since then, horses have been scattered in several villages in Qiu County and Daming. Formed a densely populated Markov family. It is a descendant of Chencunma. There are inscriptions and scroll records above.

Having said that, everyone will understand why Shandong people say Linqing people and Qiu county people say Qiu county people. As for Shanghainese, it is not surprising that Ma Yongzhen is from Shanghai. At that time, Ma Yongzhen competed for hegemony in Shanghai for several years.

Ma Yongzhen (1840 ~ 1879), a martial artist since childhood, was bold and chivalrous, with high martial arts and boundless strength. He is proficient in boxing, especially in checking fists and bouncing legs.

In the first year of Guangxu, Ma Yongzhen went to Shanghai as a busker and apprentice, which made him quite famous. At that time, there was a western strongman, known as "invincible", who was bullying in Shanghai. In order to strengthen the ambition of the Chinese nation and destroy the prestige of foreigners, he boldly competed with foreigners. First, you can break two slates by hand; Broken after leg force 12 stake; In the final boxing match, Ma Yongzhen first used the methods of flashing, spreading, soaring and moving to deal with Yang Lishi, and then took a picture in front of Yang Lishi's face with his hands and turned to leave. Yang Lishi thought it was a good idea and came. Ma Yongzhen immediately took a step just visible, Yuanyang kicked the foreigner fiercely, kicked Yang Lishi back several steps, fell to the ground, and stood up again ten minutes later. Alex staggered off the court and died the next day. This incident caused a sensation in Shanghai and shocked China and foreign countries.

In March of the fifth year of Guangxu, when drinking tea in Nanjing Road Teahouse, the horse dealer Gu gathered thugs, first sprinkled lime powder on the noodles, and then cut them with a knife. That night, he was seriously injured and died. Ma Yongzhen's sister, Ma Suzhen, is more skilled than her brother, Shang Gao. She not only has a solid foundation in kung fu, but also enters the realm of boxing, being courteous and courteous. Knowing that my brother wanted to wander the world, he tried to dissuade him. After hearing that his brother was killed, he angrily took the dagger from home and went to Shanghai alone, but he was retaliated by his brother.

Later, Biography of Ma Yongzhen was published in Shanghai, and the whole world rushed to buy it and circulated it to each other, praising "Ma Yongzhen is the elite of China" and "the hero of the Chinese nation". Now, there are many movies and TV plays about Ma Yongzhen, the most famous of which is Ma Yongzhen's Alone on the Beach.
