The latest from the "internecine combat across time" series...
The Beggar's Union was a powerful wulin organization during both the DGSD and L/ROCH eras. What if we were to pit the two generations of beggars against one another?
Kiu Fung was singularly superior as a fighter to his Beggar's Union Chief successors from the L/ROCH period, but could even he overcome a combined team of North Beggar Hung 7 Gung, Wong Yung, Lo Yau Gerk, and Yeh Lut Chai?
From there on, it's a battle between elders. In DGSD, there seemed to be about a half-dozen elders in the Union who were no weaker than the three junior Great Evils. From the L/ROCH era, there were a few elders who were decent martial artists, but not many of them and perhaps not as powerful individually as their DGSD-era counterparts.
Then, there's the beggar army of 300,000. This force worried the Khitan and the Tanguts (of Hsi Hsia) during the DGSD era, and was also a constant thorn in the side of the Jurchen and Mongols during L/ROCH. There might be little discrepancy here.
