Directed by Chen Kexin and starring Jet Li, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro, The Warlords is being shown. In fact, there is a real historical background for the warlord scuffle, that is, the case of Wenxiang Zhang stabbing a horse in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, which is also commonly known as the four unsolved cases of Yang Yuelou, Taiyuan, Yang Naiwu and Pakchoi, and the assassin Wenxiang Zhang is also connected with Deqing.

According to historical records, during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Wenxiang Zhang, a knight-errant from Henan Province, became sworn brothers with Ma Xinyi, Anhui assistant minister, Cao Erhu and Shi Jinbiao, martial artists. Cao Erhu's wife is beautiful, and the boss Ma Xinyi is a white-faced scholar on the surface, but she is a lecherous in essence. He took the opportunity to invite Cao Erhu on a business trip, sent someone to assassinate Cao Erhu in other places and occupied Cao Erhu's wife. Shi Jinbiao and Wenxiang Zhang were furious and wanted to avenge Yidi. Word reached Ma Xinyi that he wanted to find an excuse to kill two people. So Wenxiang Zhang and Shi Jinbiao fled to other places overnight. Wenxiang Zhang fled to the new town in Deqing County, Huzhou Prefecture, and went to Zhong Yan, a Henan friend who made a living in the new town ten years ago, while Shi Jinbiao lived in Shixia Town, Haining County, waiting for an opportunity to avenge Cao Erhu.

Later, introduced by Zhong You, Wenxiang Zhang met Master Yin Chao of Juehai Temple. Master Yin Chao is also from Henan. He became a monk in Shaoshishan Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng County, Henan Province, and learned a good martial arts, especially good at flying knives. Wenxiang Zhang begged Master Yin Chao to accept him as an apprentice. Seeing his chivalry and generosity, the master made an exception and taught him to practice flying knives. He also drove Xianqiao in the local blacksmith's shop to cast a willow flying knife for Wenxiang Zhang. From then on, under the careful guidance of Master Yin Chao, Wenxiang Zhang practiced flying knives in Qibaochi of Juehai Temple every day.

At this time, Ma Xinyi, with poor personality, was promoted to the position of Governor of Liangjiang (the highest military and political chief in Jiangsu and Zhejiang) and lived in Nanjing. Shi Jinbiao told Wenxiang Zhang the news. Since then, Wenxiang Zhang has twice sneaked into the Nanjing Governor's Office to inspect the assassination route. After half a year, Wenxiang Zhang's flying knife technology has reached the point of perfection. In the autumn of the seventh year of Tongzhi, Wenxiang Zhang took a flying knife, bid farewell to his master Yin Chao and went to Nanjing, Jiangsu. One day, Ma Xinyi marched back to the Governor's Office from tinker in a sedan chair. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, Wenxiang Zhang inserted two poisoned sharp The Lancet into Ma Xinyi's chest, and Ma Xinyi was killed the next day. Later, Wenxiang Zhang was executed by the Qing court. This is the general process of "Wenxiang Zhang stabbing horse case", one of the four unsolved cases in the late Qing Dynasty.

Next to the Xianchi of Juehai Temple, there is an old original stone two feet square, which is said to be Wenxiang Zhang's grindstone. During the period of 1950, when Shanghai Pinghua Art Troupe came to Xinshi to rap "Wenxiang Zhang Spitting Horse", Qian Zaigen, the owner of Xinshi Oriental Bookstore, led artists to watch Wenxiang Zhang's grindstone in Juehai Temple.

Beiping Street 10, the head of the household passed down from generation to generation, was the place where Wenxiang Zhang lived when he lived in seclusion and practiced martial arts in Xincheng. The back door of the house is Chonglou Lane, separated from Juehai Temple by a wall, and its location is very remote and quiet (see photo, taken by Hong Xuan). The horse-stabbing case in the film warlords is closely related to political intrigue and emotional hatred, but according to some historical researchers, "the horse-stabbing case is related to the Xiang army, and there are big people behind the horse-stabbing case."

The Spurs case is full of doubts: the governor of Liangjiang should have been heavily guarded, but Wenxiang Zhang assassinated Ma Xinyi with a heavy fist in the heavily guarded Ministry of Supervision; Immediately after Ma Xinyi's assassination, the "Spurs Case" drama was staged, and a general was erected as a monument and so on. All these indicate that the Spurs case is likely to be a planned and organized political murder. From the implementation of the case, to the strong cooperation of public opinion, as well as the careful planning and smart design of the case, it shows that it was planned by experts.
