Among the more than 100 pieces, among them, the music of Yangzhou Mu Li Yang attracted Li Luo's special attention.

"Minister Yangzhou Mu Li Yang, congratulations to our Emperor Wencheng Wuyun Daren Holy Emperor His Majesty: ...... Recently, it was investigated that some people in the official office used finch cards to entertain themselves, which is a bad habit in the north. The minister has ordered a ban on signs and confiscation of licenses... Lest there be signs elsewhere, I ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to ban ......"

This is a congratulatory recital. After reading this recital, Li Luo smiled bitterly and handed it to Cui Xiuning, "I'm reaping the consequences." ”

Cui Xiuning said after reading it: "It's still a sign, it's still too late to strictly prohibit it now." Mahjong is indeed addictive and very harmful to the atmosphere of officialdom. Officials who play mahjong are defined as the crime of dereliction of duty. Folks, it's a crime of gambling. ”

Mahjong was "invented" by Li Luo and given to the queen of Goryeo, and the queen of Goryeo gave it to Kublai Khan, which swept the court and became popular in most of the capital, and then spread all over the world. Yuan court officialdom indulged in mahjong a few years ago, and playing cards became a trend.

As early as when Li Luo was in Fujian Pingzhang, Fujian officialdom was already popular to play mahjong. And the northern atmosphere is even more serious, and it has developed to the point of "playing mahjong every day", that is, in the temple, the sound of rubbing mahjong also overshadows the sound of chanting.

It can be said that the most important thing for the yamen at all levels from the central to the local level of the Yuan court is to "play mahjong".

Mahjong not only made the officialdom of the Yuan Court more corrupt, but also greatly reduced the administrative efficiency of the officials at all levels of the Yuan Court, and even affected the generals in the army.

Intelligence shows that more and more generals of the Yuan Army play mahjong all day long in the barracks and have no time to take care of military affairs.

But now, this trend has affected the nascent Datang.

This is something that Li Luo will never allow.

Fortunately, it is only a symptom at the moment, and it can be completely stopped.

Cui Xiuning said: "On the one hand, we must stop this trend, on the other hand, we must also promote several national sports activities, and everyone must have entertainment." ”

Li Luo felt that it was very reasonable, and after the two discussed, they came up with several kinds of "national operas".

Soon, a stern-tone decree was issued:

"I heard mahjong tiles, it is a play of ghosts and gods, the most evil heart is corrupt, demagoguery, and people are lazy. As a result, the Mongol Won was politically defeated, and Goryeo was defeated because of it......"

"The Tang Dynasty rules the world with the Tao, the officials rule the people with clarity, and govern the government with diligence, which is the virtue and the way of the official. And the people govern their work with diligence and simplicity, which is also virtuous, and the way of the people is also ...... Mahjong is a great victim, and it is a martyr for the disaster, and it is forbidden as a whole. ”

"After the holy decree arrives, if the officials dare to make a show, they will be punished for dereliction of duty and immorality, not only will the officials be deprived, but whether the identity of the Tang people can be guaranteed or not, it should be between the two."

"Those who dare to play among the people will be punished for gambling and immorality, and will be punished with five years of hard labor, and whether the identity of the Tang people can be guaranteed is also between the two."

The severity of the decree is almost to the point of harshness.

If an official dares to play mahjong, all the officials will be taken away, and they may be deprived of their status as Tang Min, demoted to the second and third class or slaves.

If the people dare to play mahjong, they will not only be forced to work hard for five years, but they may also be deprived of the identity of the Tang people and demoted!

But the problem is that no matter how severe the punishment is, if you don't offend, there will be nothing at all.

The emperor's "Ban on Sparrow Order" was very famous in later generations, because while strictly banning mahjong, he also issued a "Guangda Body Dao Order" to promote four kinds of national operas.

One is the polo game. On the one hand, the emperor banned mahjong, and on the other hand, encouraged the yamen, the army, and the people to promote the polo game, and asked the Ministry of Rites to resume the formulation of polo rules for customization.

The second is the play of Keju. The emperor asked the Ministry of Rites to resume the play of Keju and improve the rules.

The third is to reform Xiangqi (ancient chess), promote the imperial Tang chess (Xiangqi) and Go, and popularize double chess.

But in fact, Tang Qi (Xiangqi) is better popularized than Go, because the game of Go takes too long and is complicated, which is not conducive to popular entertainment.

Li Luo's promotion of polo, juju and Tang chess (chess) is, of course, to increase the entertainment of the people and guide the correct direction of entertainment.

These games not only have a high degree of confrontation, but also a two-way confrontation, which is most conducive to cultivating the spirit of competitive confrontation.

Polo and kemari, in particular, are good for the national spirit.

And mahjong, poker such a multi-party confrontation *** but do more harm than good. This kind of multi-faceted confrontation game is generally gambling, relying on luck and calculation.

The players figure out each other, intrigue and fight each other. This kind of game is very interesting, highly addictive, and easy to cultivate people's bad roots.

Li Luo's instructions to the Ministry of Rites stipulate and improve the rules of polo, from one person to one team to a team of up to fifteen people. The venue is also divided into multiple levels.

However, Li Luo specifically stipulates that a team of five and a team of seven are the standards of large-scale events, which are subdivided into forwards, centers, guards and other posts.

The standard course is based on the size of 20 acres. Let the villages around the country build golf courses on wasteland. On the outskirts of each county, stadiums were also built on wasteland.

In the military, the school field is used as the stadium.

Kemari's sphere has also been improved. Li Luo ordered the Ministry of Engineering to improve the soccer ball with sea fish fat to increase strength and elasticity. In addition, the patents of the Ministry of Industry will be opened to private trading companies to manufacture.

Standard matches are played by teams of nine. Folk small competitions are held with five or seven people as a team. Goalkeepers have been added and the duties of goalkeepers have been standardized.

From the city to the countryside, from the army to the school, there must be a keju.

Keju and polo are both listed as large-scale national operas in the Tang Dynasty and are called "Chinese Double Ball". Every year in spring and autumn and on the day of celebrations, the royal family holds a double-ball tournament.

All states, counties, and villages hold events according to the annual festival.

The two-ball tournament is divided into four tiers. The events held by the royal family and the imperial court are the first class, the second class held by the state pastoral yamen, the third class held by the county and county, and the D class held by the villages.

The teams are also divided into four tiers, township, county, county, and state.

The teams in the army are also divided into four classes according to their establishment.

The same goes for double chess, which is divided into four tournaments from the central to the local to the countryside.

The "double ball" and "double chess" that Li Luo and Cui Xiuning came up with are actually to ask the people to cultivate both physical strength and intelligence, and strengthen the national spirit and physique through national physical confrontation and intellectual confrontation game competitions. Let the East Asian sick man and the like forever have nothing to do with China.

Therefore, those who play chess well and play well also have rewards and honorary titles.

Those who won the top three in the national competition are called the Tang team and the Tang hand. Awarded the Jade Tai Chi Dao card, the gold Tai Chi Tao card, and the silver Tai Chi Tao card. Holding this card, see the official does not worship, you can enter the office.

Li Luo specifically said in his edict to the people:

"The body is the essence of human beings, and the existence of the spirit. The body is not healthy, but the spirit is not spiritual, and the sickness is easy to die...... The Tang Dynasty rules the world with the Tao, the people take the Tao as their people, the husband is healthy and strong, and the person who refines the brain is also called the way of sports. ”

"I teach all the people with virtue with the way of heaven and strengthen the physique of all people with the way of the body, so that I can be wise and wise for a long time, which is the way of the monarch's father...... From today onwards, the Department of Sports and Morality (Sports Bureau) will be set up under the Ministry of Rites to promote and supervise the way of sports in the world..."

The concept of physical integrity was introduced, and a special management yamen was set up.

Since ancient times, the emperor has paid so much attention to the health of the people, and there is no one more than Li Luo. So much so that "Guangda Body Dao Order" was highly evaluated in later generations.

…………

At the end of July, an alarming piece of news came from the Special Inspectorate.

It's really amazing. Even Li Luo was a little surprised.

Zhao Song once again united with Dali and Xiao Liang's remnants. But their stage this time is in Tianzhu.

In April, while Li Luo was still in Japan, Xiao Yan finally united with Xiao Yi, the regent of Dali, and launched an attack on the Delhi Sultanate in the west after only ten months of occupying Ahong.

Xiao Yan's brothers and sisters led the Liang army, the Dali army and the Delhi Sultanate to fight fiercely in the south of the Himalayas. The Sultan Balban personally led an army of more than 100,000 in a fierce battle, and the two armies fought for half a month, regardless of victory or defeat.

But at a critical juncture, the Hai Song general Hattori Maruza led a fleet to land in the Bay of Bengal, and the Song army went straight down the Ganges River into the Tianzhu Great Plain and attacked Delhi, the capital of the Sultanate.

The Sultan King Balban, who was confronting the Xiao family brothers and sisters on the front line, was shocked when he heard the news. Balban was already very old, and he died in this year (1287), so he soon died of illness in the army.

The capital of the Sudanese army was attacked by the Song army, and the Sultan of the front line died violently, and the army was immediately disheartened. The brothers and sisters of the Xiao family took advantage of the situation to attack, and the army of more than 100,000 sultans was defeated.

The Liang army and the Dali army pursued the victory, crossed the Ganges River, and the road was like a bamboo, and many small states surrendered one after another.

At the beginning of May, the Song army, the Liang army, and the Dali army jointly attacked the city of Delhi, and captured the largest and most prosperous city in Tianzhu in a fierce battle for nine days.

When the coalition entered the city, they were angry with the city's resistance and began to slaughter the city. You must know that the Dali Army was originally from the Yuan Army, and the slaughter of the city had no psychological burden at all. And the Japanese army in the Song army also took massacres as a common thing in Nanyang.

The Special Investigation Bureau did not say how many people died in the city of Delhi, but only said that "the coalition forces did not count the killings, and the Ganges River floated tens of thousands of corpses, and the water was red." ”

The city of Derry, with a population of more than 100,000, was brutally slaughtered by coalition forces.

After the coalition army entered the city, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, they searched and killed the royal family and nobles of the Delhi Sultanate. The Delhi Sultanate (First Dynasty), which occupied the rich plains north of Tianzhu, was destroyed by the attack of the Triple Alliance.

On the eighth day of the fifth month, Xiao Ji, the regent of Dali, personally burned down the largest and most famous Kutpuding Temple near Delhi in the name of confusing the public with evil words after a certain temple was hidden and dirty.

After that, the coalition forces exterminated the forces of a certain temple.

The cunning Xiao Yi first pretended to take refuge in Brahmin, and then with the help of the public opinion support of the Brahmin forces, he killed a certain sect.

In the middle of October, the entire Delhi Sultanate suffered a catastrophe. The coalition forces and the Brahmin forces frantically suppressed and killed so-and-so, and forcibly uprooted the so-and-so forces from Beitianzhu.

However, before the Brahmanical (Hindu) forces of one country could rejoice, the coalition army raised a butcher's knife against the Brahmins under the pretext that they had been deceived and fooled by the Brahmins and killed so-and-so by mistake.

The entire Ganges and Indus valleys were bloody, and hundreds of thousands of coalition troops were killed.

By June, the temples of the Brahmins had been burned down and the monks had been slaughtered.

In the past two months, at least hundreds of thousands of followers and Brahmin monks have been killed. Hundreds of temples of both religions were burned down.

The sinister Xiao Ji also forced the most famous leader of the so-and-so sect and the leader of the Brahmanical religion to fight hand-to-hand duels in public, fight each other, and lose face.

Xiao Ji also publicly beheaded a large number of "prophets" and "divine envoys", and used torture to intimidate them into begging for mercy and disgrace them in front of the public.

The coalition forces from Huaxia obviously knew very well that they would not be able to truly occupy Tianzhu without getting rid of the powerful so-and-so and the Brahmins.

The intelligence also said that Tianzhu's resistance was still ongoing. Whether the Triple Alliance can stand firm in Tianzhu is still unknown.

However, the states of the southern plateau began to form a Brahmin coalition, while the southern provinces of Yuantingshan (formerly the Chagatai Khanate) in the north and the Amu Darya province (formerly the Ilkhanate) in the west were also ready to move.

The provincial Pingzhang has been reported to the Yuan Court, and it is estimated that the Yuan Court will make a move soon.

"The coalition forces of the states in the southern plateau of Tianzhu should have no way to take the alliance of the three kingdoms." After reading the information, Li Luo said to Cui Xiuning, "But once the Yuan Court sends troops, it will be different. ”

Cui Xiuning frowned and looked at the map, "Now that the Yuan Court has unified the Great Mongolia, if the troops are sent from northern India, the Xiao Yan brothers and sisters and Hattori Maruzo will not be able to resist at all, and they will definitely be defeated." ”

"If the Yuan army occupies Tianzhu, it will be able to enter Dali through Ahong and open up another route to attack the Tang Dynasty."

Li Luo nodded, "The Yuan army will definitely send troops." Kublai Khan could not have given up this opportunity. With Tianzhu letting the Three Kingdoms Coalition Army occupy it, it can't let the Yuan Army occupy it. ”

Cui Xiuning is a little bit of the Bay of Bengal in later generations, "ready to land here at any time, enter the Ganges, and help the Three Kingdoms resist the southward movement of the Yuan army." ”

"You're not doing it well, there's another way that's even better." Li Luo pointed to the south of India, "Landing from here, occupying the south of Tianzhu, destroying the states of South Tianzhu, and then dividing Tianzhu with the Three Kingdoms." ”

"Our army is on the edge of the Indian plateau, and if the Yuan army goes south, it will definitely fight with the Three Kingdoms that occupy North Tianzhu. And I, Datang, sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, swooping down at any time to give the Yuan army a fatal blow. ”

Cui Xiuning smiled: "Okay, this is indeed the best way. However, the Yuan court will not send troops this year, so it will have to wait until next year. Our goal this year is Guanzhong, and we will not send troops. ”

"If the Yuan court does not send troops for a day, those states in the south of Tianzhu will be helpless against the Three Kingdoms Alliance. But the Triple Alliance was so cruel to the Brahmins that it was difficult to expand the land. Next, the two sides will fight for a long time. ”

Li Luo said: "Let them fight to death." Try to destroy the Brahmins of Tianzhu. Xiao Yan's brothers and sisters rewarded the soldiers with the land of the so-and-so sect and the Brahmins, as well as the Tianzhu people who took refuge in them, which was a way. ”

The two discussed for a long time, and finally changed the topic to Guanzhong.

"The autumn wind blows Weishui, and the fallen leaves are full of Chang'an." Li Luo said, "Jia Dao's poem is really too strong. We plan to send troops in August and occupy Guanzhong in October, so I'm really looking forward to it. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "The geographical information of the Special Investigation Bureau on Guanzhong has been collected and sorted out. I took a look, and you are right, the current environment in Guanzhong is very different from that of later generations, and it is still very good. ”

"I analysed it and felt that the core issue was the water source. If one or two more water systems from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were introduced into Guanzhong, it would be completely different. ”

Li Luo agreed.

The source of China's water system is mainly in the west. However, Guanzhong has insufficient water sources, mainly because of the water volume of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which divides too little water in Guanzhong, resulting in too much water in the southwest and frequent floods, and too little water in the northwest and frequent droughts.

If we make up for the shortage with surplus in the distribution of water systems, it will be a great strategic victory unseen in a thousand years.

"It's time for the chess pieces in Guanzhong to move." Li Luo said.

Cui Xiuning said: "I will immediately give an order to the Special Investigation Bureau to activate the Tiger in Hanzhong!" ”

ps: Crab crab support, good night! These days, I get up at five o'clock every day to code words.
