Chapter 338: Rejoicing with the People
Zhang Yi and Jin Yixiao are both masters in this area, and when they heard this, they nodded and said, "Will there be some?"
Yang Zheng waved his hand and laughed: "That's the best, since the soldiers can play, how about you accompany General Ben to have a good time?"
Zhang Yi glanced at Yang Zheng, hugged his fists and said, "The general has an order, how dare I disobey!"
Yang Zheng waved his hand and said: "General Zhang doesn't have to be so dignified, since he has to play naturally, he has to have fun, if he is just afraid of my identity, it will be boring?"
Zhang Yi was a little unsure whether what Yang Zheng said was true or false, but seeing his harmless smile on his face, he put his mind at ease and said in his heart: "Isn't it really approachable?"
Jin Yixiao was more delicate than Zhang Yi's thoughts, seeing that Yang Zheng seemed to be speaking lightly, but in an unquestionable tone, he was secretly worried in his heart. 79 free to read
Yang Zheng smiled again and said, "What does General Jin think?"
Jin Yixiao hesitated for a moment, then clenched his fists and said, "Listen to the general's arrangement?"
Yang Zheng slapped his palms and said, "Since the two generals have no opinion, this matter is so decided!" After speaking, he glanced at the field and said: "In this way, there are almost seven or eight people in this Keju competition, and the soldiers who participated in the battle on both sides just now don't have to return to the team, so let's come together, right?"
Zhang Yi and Jin smiled at each other, and a bad premonition inexplicably rose in their hearts.
Yang Zheng thought for a while and said: "Ah, I almost forgot about it, since I want to play happily, how can I lose some color heads, so that I can have a good time, right?"
Zhang Yi and Jin Yiyi felt more and more that this was a little tired, even Gao Hang glanced at Yang Zheng in surprise, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "I don't know what the hell is this Lord Yang?"
"Have fun with the people, do ghosts believe?" Xiao Yue squinted her eyes and scolded in her heart as she looked at the busy Yang Zheng.
Everyone on the field heard that Yang Zheng was a general, everyone was silent, and looked at Yang Zheng, the stadium that was lively just now became extremely quiet at the moment, but our foreign adults smiled and continued with a smile on their faces: " I didn't bring any greeting gifts today, but just now I gambled with He Qianhu and won a lot of silver, even if the lottery of today's game, as long as the people who participated in the game later, everyone has a share of these silver, if you win the game later, I don't see the polo today?"
Zhang Yi and Jin Yi glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "Sure enough, it's the idea to play this polo?"
"What if we lose?" Xu Feng couldn't help but shout.
At this shout, everyone else looked over.
"Lose, lose is good to say, as a Ming soldier, don't think about training diligently, and gather people in the barracks to play polo, according to my Ming military discipline, hehe, I don't need to say more than compared, everyone knows what punishment to receive, right?"
"According to my Ming military discipline, those who gather to play in the army will have thirty big boards of military sticks!"
"Huh?" exclaimed from the crowd.
Jin smiled and said secretly: "It's really ruthless enough, and you moved out of the military discipline without moving?"
According to military discipline, they gather to play ball like this today, it is indeed a violation of military discipline, and everyone should play 30 military sticks, but they are stragglers, and they are too lazy to go to the battlefield on weekdays, so they come and go to this ancient city, and they are also arrogant, and they have long forgotten these military disciplines.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yang Zheng's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and seeing that everyone's faces were cloudy, he smiled and said, "What, are you afraid?"
Zhang Yi glanced at Yang Zheng, he already knew that he was sincere to find fault today, and it was impossible not to agree, so he hugged his fist and said: "The general has an order, how dare I disobey, I just hope that the general will be good at talking?"
Yang Zheng smiled and said: "General Zhang, please rest assured, I, Yang Zheng, am known as Honest Xiao Langjun, but I am not called in vain, since I say so, I will do this, if you win this game, it is your ability, I should not have seen today's events, but if you lose, don't cheat, lose with dignity?"
Zhang Yi said: "Okay, I promise you, if you lose, the thirty military sticks don't need to be done by the general, and I will do my soldiers myself?"
Yang Zheng said with a smile: "This is like a thousand households in the Ming Dynasty, thirty military sticks are only thirty strokes, gritting their teeth and passing, and no one can die?"
When everyone saw that Zhang Yi agreed, they didn't say much, and although there were more than thirty military sticks, it was not unbearable to be young, so they chattered a little, until no one quit.
Yang Zheng nodded and said, "Since you soldiers have no opinions, let's start?"
Keju is also known as "Juju", "Keju", "Keqiu", "Juyuan", "Building Ball", "Kicking Circle", first appeared in the Qi State of the Warring States, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, Keju activities were silent for a while, to the Han Gaozu Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty, Keju as the way of "governing the country and practicing martial arts", not only widely carried out in the army, but also popular among the court nobles.
It is said that after Liu Bang became the emperor, he took his father Liu Taigong to the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City for the elderly, and his food and clothing were extremely luxurious, and he watched Kabuki music all day long. But he was not satisfied, and he was depressed all day long. It turned out that Mrs. Liu had lived in the lower strata of the city since he was a child, close to ordinary pawns, slaughtering dogs and cattle, and his after-work entertainment activities were inseparable from cockfighting and juju. So, Liu Bang made a holy decree, in the east of Chang'an City, a hundred miles away, modeled on the scale of the original Peixian Fengyi, built a new city, and moved all the residents of the original Fengyi to the new city, and Liu Taigong and Liu Wen also moved there. He began to "fight cocks and bow for pleasure", which was satisfied, and since then the keju activity has spread throughout the Han Dynasty and has continued since then.
At this time, a soldier sent a leather ball, Yang Zheng thought it was a kind of badminton similar to polo, to be taken from the soldier's hand, before it was sent, it was actually a ball and the football of the 21st century, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then I was relieved, after bowing to the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty had two major improvements in the ball-making process: one is to change the spherical shell synthesized with two pieces of skin to a spherical shell sewn into a circle with eight pieces of pointed skin. The shape of the ball is more rounded. The second is to change the spherical shell to stuff the hair into an animal urine bubble, "shh The raw material is "cooked nitrate yellow leather, and the real material is lightly cut". The process is "densely sewn and sewn, without revealing the corners of the line". The weight of the ball should be "twelve taels". The size of the football should be "very round". The result is similar to the football of later generations, and it is not surprising that there is such a ball after almost three or four hundred years.
Put Keju in his hand and tossed it a few times, feeling light, less weight than the football in later generations, but it did not affect the kicking, slightly bumped, and glanced at the crowd: "Who will come first?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, even Zhang Yi and Jin Yixi were also stunned, obviously not understanding what Yang Zheng meant by this, for a while, you look at me, I look at you.
"General, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Yi glanced at Yang Zheng and asked through gritted teeth.
Yang Zheng put the juju in his hand at his feet, playing wantonly, he played football in later generations, for this most man's sport, almost reached the point of obsession, for this practice I don't know how many years, dreaming of one day to enter the national team, in order to win glory for the country, but as he gets older, this dream is not only more and more distant, but a little unrealistic, but football he has never given up practice, today's level, can not say how outstanding, but also has a considerable level, it is with this self-confidence, he is able to put forward such a request。
How can Yang Zheng naturally understand their thoughts, since the Tang Dynasty's sphere is lighter, it can kick high. The goal is set on two bamboo poles three feet high, which is called "netting for the door to measure the ball". In terms of kicking methods, the Han Dynasty was a direct confrontation with the detachment game, "secluded and convenient, covering like a soldier". The physical contact between the players on both sides is like fighting. The Tang Dynasty detachment game was no longer a direct confrontation, but a goal in the middle, with both sides on one side, and "the one with the most wins" with a shot. Later, there was women's football. Women's football kicks without a goal, with Keju kicking high and kicking tricks as a thing, called "white play", but no matter how it changes, there is always no escape from a few, or dozens of playing, and today he just asked who came first, then it means that today's Keju game is a comparison with the generals, rather than the original expectation of dividing into two teams, to score a number of goals to win!
"It's very simple, today's game is for you to compete with General Ben one by one!" Yang Zheng looked at everyone with a sneer.
"What is competing with everyone one by one, this is too unbelievable, right?" Gao Hang opened his mouth and looked at Yang Zheng with a surprised face, even Xiao Yue also frowned slightly, although she didn't know how to play polo, but she knew a lot about this juju, not to mention those white actions, what crutches, kicks, kicks, twists, etc., she didn't see less than the official game, that one was not divided into two teams in a courtyard, just like a war, the one who kicked and bowed into the opponent's goal won more, and I really haven't seen it one-on-one!"
Jin Yi smiled and said: "General, you see that there are a lot of people here, if they come one by one, are you afraid?"
Yang Zheng knew his thoughts, and he didn't answer, his eyes swept ahead, I don't know if it was because these soldiers had been playing here for a long time, there were also two juju merry eyes here, and when the wind blew, the copper bells of the merry eyes occasionally made a jingling sound, which was extremely pleasant.
Yang Zheng carried the juju and passed in front of all the soldiers, and when everyone's eyes were completely attracted, he kicked the juju under his feet and rushed towards the merry eye.
