All along.
There had been a long debate about whether traditional martial arts were that powerful.
There were many swindlers who used the name of traditional martial arts masters to swindle people on the Internet. After being beaten up by others, so-called masters like Xingyi, Taiji, and Bagua lost all their face and became the laughing stock of netizens.
There were even fans of mixed martial arts who openly expressed that the so-called traditional martial arts were just a trick to deceive people and had no meaning to exist at all.
And now.
Ye Tian's words made everyone realize what the real martial arts circle of the Republic of China was like.
"After learning martial arts, you can sell your goods to the imperial family.”
Teacher He slowly summarized Ye Tian's words.
"That's the logic."
Ye Tian nodded calmly." The purpose of martial arts is not just to strengthen the body, but to make a name for themselves. But with the appearance of guns, everyone realized that no matter how good their martial arts were, they couldn't be faster than bullets. Naturally, there weren't many people who practiced martial arts.”
"Then you said that real martial arts do exist?”
Teacher He asked hurriedly.
This question had always troubled many people.
"Of course,"
Ye Tian nodded. In the past, the purpose of martial arts was to strengthen oneself and defeat the opponent. Those things now were just for show. There were no mental cultivation techniques, only specious moves.”
Hearing this, Mr. He fell into deep thought.
Seeing his reaction, Ye Tian smiled and waved his hand.""I've talked to Cai Yuanpei about this before. Once martial arts changes from killing techniques to strengthening the body, it will lose its original meaning and will eventually decline.”
？？？？？
？？？？？
Teacher He was stunned when he heard the name Cai Yuanpei.
He looked up at Ye Tian." Old Master, you know Mr. Cai Yuanpei?"”
Ye Tian laughed,"Isn't it normal for me to know him?"”
“…………”
Teacher He was instantly speechless.
Cai Yuanpei was quite famous. After all, he was once the education chief of the Beiyang government and the principal of Yanjing University. He proposed the famous school motto of " freedom of thought and tolerance."
But he hadn't expected Ye Tian to be so familiar with him.
Seeing Teacher He's expression, Ye Tian smiled mischievously and said,""When I met him, he went to Europe because of the Rowan case.”
"The Rowan case?"
Teacher He looked at Ye Tian in confusion.
Naturally, he did not know about this.
Ye Tian smiled and explained to Teacher He.
The so-called Luo Wengan case was a trick that Cao Kun had created to overthrow the cabinet at that time. The judicial authorities repeatedly ruled that Luo Wengan was innocent, and Cao Kun instructed his subordinates to protest again and again. The judicial officials were unwilling to give a verdict, so Cao Kun simply dismissed all the investigators and replaced them with a new batch. In the end, Luo Wengan was still acquitted.
Speaking of which, there was no shortage of officials who adhered to principles during the Republic of China, such as the two groups of inspectors who were under great pressure to maintain judicial fairness.
Unfortunately, it was useless. In the end, Cao Kun still forced the chief prosecutor to sue Luo Wengan.
Cai Yuanpei left at that time. He was completely disappointed in Beiyang and went to Europe to investigate.
In the end, something happened when he left!
One had to know.
In that era, education was a poor government office. Not only was it short of money, but it couldn't even pay salaries. It was the same for Yanjing University, which relied on Cai Yuanpei to survive.
Moreover, with him around, he could shelter the entire school from the wind and rain in the turbulent times.
At the very least, no matter what kind of warlord they were, they had to give people like Cai Yuanpei some face.
However, after he left, life at Yan Jing University became difficult. The whole school hoped that Principal Cai would come back soon.
From 2024 to 2026, Yanjing University sent Cai Yuanpei five or six telegrams, begging him to return home.
Unfortunately, Cai Yuanpei never returned.
"Um, then why didn't Mr. Cai Yuanpei go back?”
Teacher He asked curiously after hearing Ye Tian's explanation.
Not only him, but even the audience in the live broadcast room was very curious.
Many people had heard of Cai Yuanpei's name. They knew that he was an elder of the Alliance and a well-known teacher in the Republic of China.
No one understood why he didn't choose to return to China.
"It's very simple. It's because he's afraid of death.”
Ye Tian blinked, smiling.""He was afraid that he would be killed by Wu Peifu. You probably don't know that Wu Peifu once publicly stated in the newspaper: " There's radical thinking in the country, starting with me…In the north, there's Cai Yuanpei…The young people of China have been poisoned by it. If we don't curb it, the government won't be able to settle down.”
"What do you mean?“
Teacher He was confused.
Ye Tian could only say," In the eyes of Wu Peifu and the other warlords, Cai Yuanpei was the one who instigated the students to cause trouble, so Cai Yuanpei was the main culprit. Moreover, Cai Yuanpei was on the side of the Northern Expedition Army, so he had long been disliked by the warlords.”
"Oh, oh, oh, I see."
Teacher He finally understood.
The audience in the live broadcast room finally understood.
Cai Yuanpei was running for his life!
In fact, Ye Tian still had something to say. At that time, the students and teachers of Yanjing University had been urging Cai Yuanpei to return to the country so that he could stand in front of them.
It had to be known that the teachers had a hard time because the government did not pay them. The authorities had also arrested and killed scholars and celebrities on a large scale, and they were often shot on charges of being revolutionary. Many professors had run south, and the school was left empty.
In that case, the only way for Yanjing University was to invite the respected Principal Cai Yuanpei to come back and take charge of the situation.
However, Lao Cai was not a fool. He would not come back to take the blame!
Of course.
Ye Tian didn't need to say such harsh words at this time. He didn't want his old friend's reputation to be tarnished.
