An Chonggen was born in the famous Shunxing An family in Korea. His 26th generation was An Su, a great scholar in the late Goryeo Dynasty. His grandfather Ahn Inshou was the chief magistrate of Zhenhai County, the Joseon Dynasty, and his father An Tae-hoon was a Jinshi.

According to the feudal system of Korea, his family belonged to a typical two-class aristocratic family. As the legitimate son of the family, in addition to receiving Sinology education from childhood, he also had to take into account the Six Confucian Arts. As for his two younger brothers, Andingen and An Gonggen, they were relatively free in their studies and choices.

An Chonggen's word is "Yingqi", which is named after the 7 moles on his chest and abdomen. Although he entered the Han private school at the age of 6, he did not like to study. When he was a teenager, he especially liked playing guns and dancing knives. As for riding horses and shooting archery, he was proficient in everything.

Therefore, when An Chonggen, following Yang Meng's instructions, transferred from the Beijing National Museum to the Yanjing Branch of the Tongmenghui, his military and intelligence training was very smooth. If his comrades were not dragging him down, he would probably have boarded the train to leave the customs after the intelligence course was completed.

What surprised Yang Meng was that An Chonggen was not only good at the Iron Fist Hualangdao, a traditional iconic boxing school in North Korea, but also achieved great success in practical swordsmanship.

The Korean swordsmanship style, due to Japan's years of invasion and cultural evolution, has become increasingly evident in recent years due to the influence of several major Japanese swordsmanship, and has taken on styles such as Ah Chonggen, a Hanagou swordsmanship that was purely inherited from the battlefield, is obviously a sword technique that is closer to actual combat.

Of course, although the style of Hualangtu swordsmanship is pure and obvious, its shortcomings are also very prominent.

The reason comes from the Korean aristocratic culture and even the origin of Hualang that are contained in the spirit of Hualang.

Hualangtu, also known as Fenglu or Guoxiantu, was originally a system, technique, and even spirit for training young people to conduct professional differentiation in the Silla era of Korea.

The Hualang Dao system originated from the tribal society period, which allowed young people to live a group life together and learn various traditional Korean morals and etiquette norms together. Later, it mixed the ideas of Buddhism and Confucianism introduced by China, combined with martial arts, religious concepts and even the ruling system, and then became a formal educational institution in the country during the period of King Zhenxing of Silla.

The most praised one is the fighting technique of Hualangdao. Although it originated from religious and actual combat on the battlefield, when the rule of Silla era stabilized, it gradually incorporated the etiquette that the ruling class attached more importance to and emphasized, making this most ancient practical fighting technique passed down by North Korea gradually evolved into the most gorgeous and beautiful fitness technique. Because the most eye-catching of its disciples were aristocratic teenagers. Therefore, the apprentices who learned this technique were gradually called "Hua Mei Men" or "Hua Lang Tu" by the people.

From this title, we can see that in the inheritance of Hualang Dao, in order to increase the popularity and level of praise among the people, did not hesitate to work hard on the choice of its believers and the beautification of moves and techniques. However, in this way, although the movements of the boxing look more and more exciting, attracting a large number of folk apprentices and thus maintaining the rule, the practicality and lethality of the boxing species have undergone significant deterioration.

This phenomenon has always occurred in China's national martial arts, especially in the boxing gym of the Nanyang Sea. In order to attract more disciples to increase income, even those masters who set up sects will develop various martial arts with stretching and beautiful postures, which will make their own martial arts popularized faster. However, although this kind of martial arts is full of vitality and has a sharp move, it is actually a simplified version of the martial arts skills. It no longer has the practicality of killing people's lives when taking action.

The most obvious ones are the several Tai Chi branches separated by Yang Luchan’s lineage.

In order to cater to the royal family and Manchu nobles in the capital, he deliberately deleted or simplified the most obscure practice methods, fighting methods and even the most important internal boxing movements, making it very easy for the nobles in the capital to practice Tai Chi. Although it later became the most widely spread at home and abroad, in later generations, due to the rules and various restrictions in inheritance, this first internal boxing type actually lost the essence of actual combat.

Of course, this also has a considerable relationship with the emergence of thermal weapons.

In fact, after the 19th century, the Korean Yi soldiers were slaughtered by the Japanese Kanto Army one after another, they were still scared of the power of muskets. It was because of the lack of materials and manpower that they had to re-study the Hanoro Fist and Sword Art that the Chinese people had gradually forgotten. However, when they studied Hanoro and began to assassinate continuously, they curbed the Japanese army's full invasion under extremely unfavorable circumstances.

Therefore, when the leaders of the Korean Yi soldiers later continued to organize the Korean Yi soldiers in various places, they increasingly paid attention to the promotion of the "Five Secular Precepts" of Hualangdao as their standard of conduct, namely, "serve the king with loyalty, serve the parents with filial piety, make friends with trust, kill with choice (benevolence), and have no retreat in the face of war (courage).

It is ironic that during the Japanese administration of Korea, the "Haorang Spirit" also became an excellent propaganda material for the Japanese army to dominate the Korean people. The Japanese army replaced the Japanese Bushido spirit with the "Haorang Spirit" and declared to North Korea that "the prototype of Japanese samurai is Silla Hana", hoping to use the national confidence of the Korean race to more or less shake the Koreans' hostility towards the Japanese army.

Speaking of the self-confidence of the North Korean nation, even Yang Meng had to be careful.

Although the will and physical strength of the righteous soldiers led by An Chonggen is much higher than those of the brainless handsome men in Korean dramas in later generations, their national cohesion and super-strong sense of honor still make them unable to bear to see the Hualang Dao boxing technique, which was originally regarded as the spiritual pillar, was unintentionally belittled and even dismantled by Yang Meng.

If they were all Yang Meng's personal disciples or even registered disciples, Yang Meng would wake them up with his fists one by one to let them understand the many disadvantages of the Hualang Daoquan species. But after all, they are just a group of passers-by, so Yang Meng was too lazy to remind them that he should face himself and constantly improve from the root...

What's more, among these North Korean volunteer soldiers, the only one who can make Yang Meng value and respect it is An Chonggen, a future martyr.

After all, the success or failure of what An Chonggen wants to do will inevitably involve the game and restraint between China, Japan and North Korea in the future. Therefore, even though Yang Meng did not like these "beautiful men" in his heart, he still tried his best to subtly improve their practical ability and assassination skills.

Fortunately, after Ye Yunbiao and other comrades in the Yanjing branch, after a series of rigorous military training, their military tactical literacy, shooting, lurking and other subjects, were already considered elite-level figures. After Yang Meng's CIA commented, they almost started military training such as guns and shooting for them one-on-one.

At the same time, Yang Meng also summarized eleven pure killing techniques from Hualangdao's boxing and swordsmanship based on the preferences of these "flower beauties".

"Your Hualang Dao, after combining with the concept of Heqi nourishing Chinese concept, has actually had the prototype of practicing Qi and exerting strength. It is just that some movements are too fancy or too large, which has affected the explosive power and lethality to a certain extent..."

Seeing An Chonggen and others thinking it was very true, Yang Meng continued: "My boxing skills are now too variables, and there is no certain foundation of boxing, and it is easy to practice. Therefore, based on the basic strength techniques of the cannon fist, the chop fist and the Beng fist in our Chinese national martial arts, I summarized the changes of the eleven-year-old Hualang strikes. Although the fighting skills seem much simpler, the practicality and efficiency are more obvious. As long as you can persist in long-term exercise, you can gradually penetrate the current bright force into your body and exert the secret force in Chinese martial arts and even higher key techniques..."

With the step-by-step instructions and feeding skills of a master of national art like Yang Meng, North Korean soldiers such as An Chonggen were in pain and happiness.

Although they don’t know how many times they will be knocked down or flew every day, their ability to fight has also improved greatly. In just two months, from the fist path that was awkward at first, they felt the benefits of exhaling and exerting force, and they could even gradually fight with a master of dark strength like Ye Yunpiao in the practice.

Of course, as a senior brother, Yang Meng naturally would not ignore Ye Yunbiao's feelings.

This Li Cunyi's closed disciple had the foundation of martial arts above An Chonggen. Since he came to the capital, Shang Yunxiang has been using Xingyiquan for him, making his boxing skills now only a piece of paper away from the level of dark force. When Yang Meng understood the key points in his playing style one by one, he was considered to have given him his hands and eyes, his practical ability immediately improved by leaps and bounds.

What surprised everyone was particularly that although he was the first master of boxing to advocate the power of national skills, Yang Meng did not oppose the hard work of everyone in his shooting training. He even put forward very novel views such as "follow the gun" and "integration of man and gun" and advocated the integration of fighting and shooting, and thus comprehensively improved the assassination ability and comprehensive literacy of spy warriors.

Because of the agreement reached privately with Regent Zaifeng and Yuan Shikai, the development of the CIA in the north is almost changing with each passing day. Although the armed forces in the capital are still far from southern cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, after Yang Meng returned to the capital, the forces of the CIA in Yanjing, Tianjin, Hebei and even the three eastern provinces have also shown blowout changes under the tilt of the CIA in the South.

This change has made the revolutionary party's scope of activities larger and larger, and at the same time, it has helped An Chonggen to continuously introduce China's Hualang Boxer Corps.

According to Yang Meng's idea, some of these very young Korean Yi soldiers, as long as they have full military training and certain funding, will naturally fight more in-depth with the Japanese army on the North Korean mainland, and will also lead to more cooperation possibilities for China and North Korea in the future.

Therefore, when An Chonggen led twenty Hualang Yi soldiers and set off with Ye Yunbiao and others to go outside the pass, a secret telegram from Huang Xing also passed it to Yang Meng.
