Chapter 99: Awakening the Blood (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
At the beginning of Jinan, there were countless refugees in the city.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees who had no food and clothing were waiting for relief from the government, and a fire left them with everything, money, and houses.
What to do?
Big infrastructure!
If there is anything that Zhu Guoqiang of the Church in the other world has any truth, it is the construction of large infrastructure. If it doesn't work once, try it again.
Especially in this day and age, big infrastructure – it takes a lot of manpower.
The construction of city walls, the construction of official halls, and the repair of roads inside and outside the city are all large infrastructures, and they don't even need many bricks. In addition, Zhu Guoqiang even planned and built a stadium in the outer city of Jinan, which can be called the first professional juju stadium in the Ming Dynasty.
When it comes to Keju, later generations seem to think that it is a matter of the Song Dynasty, and as for the Ming Dynasty, there seems to be no such thing as Keju.
But in fact, Keju was developed to its peak in the Ming Dynasty, and its popularity was far better than that of the Song Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were not only men's football, but also women's football, and even the women's level of Qinglou was very high.
Even the famous book ". J* Mei" is described in the Ximenqing went out to eat and met the members of the Yuanshe (Keju is round, and the Keju Club is also known as the Yuanshe), so the football players came to meet the big boss, Ximenqing said, "You wait outside, wait for us to have eaten and drink, and play three runs."
After Ximen Qing was full of wine and food, he went to Keju, but at this time, Sister Li Gui, a woman in the Qinglou, was also preparing to participate in Keju, and the members of the Yuanshe patted her ass and said, "Sister Gui's line is one of the best, as strong as the daughter of the director of Ertiao Lane dozens of times." Obviously, to illustrate how popular the Asakiju movement is, this sentence in a certain "plum" is broken down in one sentence. As for the Ming Dynasty women wrapping their small feet, they are also broken, not to mention that the foot bones are wrapped and deformed, even if they pull a famous women's football player to let her wear a pair of high-root shoes, they will definitely not be able to play.
Moreover, the popularity of women's football in the Ming Dynasty was far greater than that of later generations, and it was recorded in Chen Jiru's "Taiping Qinghua" that "with the female flow of Qingfen, the skills of the rivers and seas" are played all over the country. The best women's football player in the Ming Dynasty is called Peng Yunxiu, who is invincible all over the world, and even the men's football team is proud to play with her.
It can be seen that a large number of people in the Ming Dynasty loved to play football, and the number may be beyond imagination, and the degree of popularity is even greater than today. Moreover, the Keju movement of the Ming Dynasty continued the situation of the Song Dynasty, not just fighting alone, but having its own organization. The "Circle Society" in "*× Mei" is one of them, for the Ming Dynasty, there is only a lack of a "national football association", and the football associations (Circle Society) in the following cities may have already organized spontaneously, and there are even businesses that sponsor local football associations to support their activities.
However, in the sport of football, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Manchus believed that Keju could allow the Han people to conspire against the rebellion, so Shunzhi dictated that "it is strictly prohibited", and Qianlong explicitly banned it, and the Qing Dynasty did not allow the Han people to gather more than 30 people. In the end, the Keju movement, which had swept China for more than 2,000 years and was attended by ordinary people in the market, was wiped out by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
As for the history books of another world, why not mention the pandemic of Keju in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it is an indescribable reason.
However, Zhu Guoqiang, who came to this world, saw a palace maid playing football in the palace, and when he learned that Keju was actually a popular sport for the people in the Ming Dynasty, he thought that the uncompetitive national football team in later generations had lost the face of his ancestors, and took advantage of the "big infrastructure" to build the first 5,000-person stadium in the Ming Dynasty out of his own pocket.
When the stadium was being built, Zhu Guoqiang brought the football directly from another world. Then, in the playground of the nursing home in Wangling, a net was erected and a football field was set up for the teenagers to have fun on a daily basis, which could not only consume their remaining energy, but also exercise their ability to cooperate with the group.
Of course, as for the gameplay of Keju, it is also the gameplay of football brought by Zhu Guoqiang from the other side. Because the Keju of the Ming Dynasty itself has a lot to play, the new rules are easy to accept. Later, after the stadium with multi-layer wooden chairs was built, the youth team of the nursing home played many competitions with several "round societies" in Jinan here, and won the championship one after another, so that the new game became popular in Jinan.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, which mainly showed the player's individual skills, the later generations of the game confrontation was more intense, more attention to group cooperation, and it seemed that the scramble was extremely fierce, for people who were accustomed to seeing the individual show of ball skills, the fierce confrontation was more ornamental, and with the smooth passage of the canal, the reputation of "Jinan Ball Wind Fierce" spread to all over the world. This stadium has also welcomed teams from Nanzhili and other places, and cross-district competitions are often held, which naturally has an additional place for entertainment and play for the Jinan market.
Whenever there is a game, the stadium, which can seat 5,000 people, is crowded with people, and even civilians from hundreds of miles away come to watch the game.
Anyway, there are no tickets, the more people, the better, and when the atmosphere is formed, it will naturally be able to make money, in fact, even Zhu Guoqiang, who does not charge tickets as an investor, has not made less money, such as the rent of shops inside and outside the stadium, such as the two teams under his name. Although it is not a lot of money, the most important thing is to cultivate a culture of love for sports.
Ordinary people need to grab their seats early, but the seats of the rich are fixed, and they are not afraid of being grabbed when they are late. As long as it costs a little silver, for Zhu Guoqiang, who likes football himself, watching football is also a rare entertainment, so he often comes to his box to enjoy the game in the stadium, today's game is his "Brave Team" against Yangzhou's "Qingyun Team", when the "Brave Team" scores a goal in the home game, the people watching the ball are naturally excited and loudly applauded, and the deafening applause only makes people can't help but immerse themselves in it, and even Zhu Guoqiang himself walked to the front of the barricade to cheer for his team.
Seeing Shi Ziye cheering for the team loudly, Liu Huaguang quipped.
"The prince is so hard to cheer them on, if they don't win again, as soon as the game is over, they will jump directly into the Daqing River......"
Liu Huaguang's joke made Zhu Guoqiang laugh.
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose, what matters is that you see ......"
Pointing to the people sitting in the audience on the pitch shouting excitedly to cheer for the team, he said in a serious tone.
"You see that the people are so emotional, and this is the result I want."
Liu Huaguang was puzzled.
"Oh? What does this mean? ”
"Weak!"
After spitting out these two words, Zhu Guoqiang smiled.
"Achievement, the last time Jiannu entered the Kou, rampant for thousands of miles, such as entering a no-man's land, everywhere he passed, the people were all waiting to be poked! Why is that? Is it the fear of the power of the slave soldiers? That's why you are waiting to be poked and waiting to be killed? The folk customs are so weak, how can they resist the barbarians? Lamenting its misfortune, but angry at it, so after retiring from Jiannu, I have been thinking about how to change the weak folk customs! ”
In later generations, every time he looked at the records of tens of thousands of people kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy in the history books, Zhu Guoqiang would sigh that the people were so weak, how could he not lose the country, if the people were strong, let alone hundreds of thousands of Manchurians, what if it was millions or tens of millions?
In fact, the weakness of the folk customs, to put it bluntly, is because the civilization has been so long that it has forgotten barbarism. talked about civilization all day long, talked about fraternity, and in the end, I was also confused, thinking that this world is Datong, that is, civilization and fraternity, and that I am close to the Meimei family, but I played myself into the pit.
In the final analysis, civilization and barbarism themselves are like yin and yang, they are mutually existent, they are balanced.
How can we awaken the blood in the hearts of the people? Awaken the savage side of the hearts of the people?
At this point, the great man gave the answer very early on - "civilization its spirit, barbarism its physique", as long as you hold this seemingly somewhat strange educational concept, it is enough, you do not see modern powers, basically follow the "civilization of its spirit, barbarism of its body" of the educational spirit, in the discipline education is exquisite, in sports is barbaric, not only support all kinds of sports competitions, but especially encourage competition, collision games, seemingly inconspicuous sports, in the barbarism of its spirit to play, Far beyond the imagination of outsiders. The more confrontational it is, the more so.
Even in Zhu Guoqiang's view, the decline of Rome was directly related to the closure of the gladiatorial arena, when the blood-boiling gladiatorial competition disappeared, the Romans were immersed in mouth cannons, and the citizens of the empire began a "civilized life" of "not doing anything if they can move their mouths", and the empire naturally declined, because the barbarians did it there, and they did it there!
In the end, the barbarians rose by barbarism, and the barbarians conquered civilization, and then the barbarians were influenced by civilization and began to abandon barbarism and join civilization, and then another barbarian tribe became a new threat by virtue of barbarism, and then achieved barbaric conquest again.
Whether it is China or Europe, in general, it is such a process, in the wrestling between civilization and barbarism, the higher the degree of civilization, the more it suffers, and the off-road barbarism is cheaper and cheaper. Whether it is the Jurchens who have just come out of the forest, or the Mongols, or the current Manchu Qing Dynasty, aren't they all clear proofs?
Sighing at the changes of history in his heart, lamenting that the process of civilization has been interrupted by barbarism again and again, and hundreds of millions of people have become barbarian "great military exploits", Zhu Guoqiang said excitedly.
"If we were not savage enough, the barbarians would kill us with their swords and spears, and they would point to our bones and say:
"Look, it's a slave!" ……”
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Guoqiang's eyes narrowed slightly, pointing to the football being fought for on the field, and even did not hesitate to directly knock down the opposing players to protect the attack of the players.
Therefore, I think that "civilizing the spirit and barbarizing the body" is the inevitability of recovering the people's customs and awakening the blood, and barbarism ...... Look at this game......"
Following the direction of Shi Ziye's finger, looking at the players on the court who were fiercely competing and even constantly colliding with each other, and looking at the audience who were fascinated and shouted excitedly, Liu Huaguang seemed to understand what Shi Ziye meant. Even he noticed that every time he watched the game, he would be excited, and even his blood would boil.
In fact, according to the point of view of later anthropologists, there is "animal nature" in human nature, but it is usually constrained by reason, civilization, and law, but this wildness is easy to awaken, which is why all countries in the world are like facing a great enemy in the process of fierce sports competition, and will dispatch a large number of military and police to maintain order.
Actually, it's the return of the wild. It is the release of the wild.
If a person has been civilized for too long, most people will choose to compromise in the face of violence, they will be afraid, they will be afraid, and this may be the reason why hundreds of millions of people are kneeling on the ground and waiting to be poked. But what if it awakens the savage side of their hearts?
It's like those "football hooligans" who are usually polite, even in suits and leather shoes, and pretend to be decent. They may not be able to resist the killing of the barbarians, but if millions of them rise up to resist, is it possible for the barbarians to maintain their rule?
In order to awaken the blood of the people and provoke their barbarism, Zhu Guoqiang introduced football and fully borrowed from the early football rules, which was an early sport that integrated football, rugby, and wrestling, just like now...... In front of the goal, scrambles, wrestling, and rushing have already begun, and the more intense the scene, the more wrestling...... No, the more intense the confrontation, the more excited the audience is.
It is an exciting moment, but also a moment when the savage breath is awakened and stimulated in their hearts.
Barbarous!
Let the brute force come more violently!
Looking at Liu Huaguang, who was over half a hundred years old, immersed in that "barbaric atmosphere", and looking at this person who had scattered all his wealth to raise troops to defend the city, Zhu Guoqiang shouted in his heart when his face turned red with excitement.
That's when the door to the box opened.
saw Shi Lei walk into the box, so he motioned for him to go to the cubicle in the box. Then, his mood was interrupted by the news brought by Shi Lei.
"What? Jiannu is sending troops? ”
frowned, Zhu Guoqiang was not puzzled, according to historical records, the Songjin War will only start next year, and it is said that there should be no movement in the Qing army this year.
"Is the message accurate?"
"Lord Shizi, after the establishment of the internal guard, the little one ordered a few good men in the mansion to disguise themselves as businessmen and went to several places in Liaodong, including Shengjing, and they all sent back information, saying that the Qing army was deploying troops and sending generals, and it was estimated that there was a big move."
Shi Lei cautiously reported.
"Shizi Ye, now Neiwei Caochuang, there is no eyeliner within Jiannu, so at present, I only know that Jiannu is doing his best to exert the power of the whole country, will it be that he wants to win Ningjin in one fell swoop?"
"This year? Now ......"
Looking up at the sky, Zhu Guoqiang said after a while.
"Four stones, when did it start snowing last year?"
