In order to wait for the thieves to surrender, Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo's officers and troops have been stationed outside Suide City for several days, and the Jingbian Fort Army under Liu Renyu's department has been practicing non-stop every day for the past few days.

Every day at dawn, the soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army all got up and began to run cross-country with weights, push-ups, pull-ups, and military physical boxing.

After lunch and a rest for 1 hour, in the afternoon the military skills of the year begin, archery of archery, sword and shield soldiers and pikemen are divided into two groups, with wooden knives wrapped in thick cloth and wooden robbers to fight each other.

And this fight is not just the kind of comparison, comparison, and pretense, but the kind of stick to meat, the knife is deadly, and it is extremely serious.

For this kind of military skill training, the Jingbian Fort troops would practice for an afternoon before they were recruited.

After watching the drills of the Jingbianbao Army for a few days, the soldiers brought by Liu Wuguo really admired their friendly troops like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control.

The soldiers under Liu Wuguo's command all agreed that if their own generals dared to train them like this, they would definitely mutiniate without hesitation.

And Liu Wuguo himself was also amazed by the training intensity of the Jingbianbao Army, and he asked Liu Renyu many times how he could train his soldiers to such a state, and he also hoped that his soldiers could reach this level.

When Liu Renyu heard this question, he first smiled mysteriously, and then replied: "No other ear! Good family sons, divide the fields, have enough food and sufficient wages, reward and punish clearly, tie them up with kindness and righteousness, love soldiers like children, and treat them as family members. ”

When Liu Wuguo heard such complicated conditions for raising troops, he immediately stuck out his tongue and sneered: "It seems that we can't learn your method of training soldiers." ”

When Liu Renyu heard this, he smiled and said nothing, his method, that is, Qi Jiguang, who called for wind and rain in the Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli periods, has done it partially, and the current general, except for him Liu Renyu, almost no one else can do this.

Therefore, Liu Wuguo could only take the soldiers to visit the harsh training of the Jingbianbao Army every day, but he did not dare to let his own soldiers train like this.

Then, as their group of officers and soldiers were stationed outside Suide City for longer and longer, some people in the city who were more courageous came out to watch the training of the Jingbianbao Army, and by the way, there were some hawkers who carried goods to the left and left of the barracks to see if these soldiers wanted to buy their own goods.

Later, they found that the Jingbianbao army was very kind, talked elegantly, treated people and things very politely, gave money for purchases, and absolutely did not rob goods, so they went directly to the walls of the barracks to watch the soldiers perform and sell their own goods.

The other people in the city were happy to see the excitement of those who were at the head, the hawkers were selling things, and the officials and soldiers had not behaved out of the ordinary, so the people in Suide City went out of the city from time to time and ran to the vicinity of the barracks to watch the unique military training of the Jingbianbao army.

At this time, because Liu Renyu did not allow the people to enter the barracks, the people set up several platforms outside the wall, holding melon seeds, fruits, and drinking candied fruits, eating and drinking, while watching the excitement.

Where there are Chinese, there are food stalls, and the vendors in the city see the business opportunities, and all of them are moved, and a food street is opened outside the barracks, and even the soldiers of the Jingbianbao Army have waved silver money to buy special food.

Some avant-garde little ladies even threw silk scarves and silver coins at the handsome soldiers in the barracks, making the soldiers look like warlocks in the rivers and lakes.

Seeing this situation, Liu Renjie finally couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to Liu Renyu to complain: "My lord, you see, the people are here every day to watch the excitement, and the soldiers have been greatly affected. ”

When Liu Renjie said this, he was a little closer to the wall, and immediately attracted the attention of many young ladies on the stage.

A little lady screamed and shouted, "Look, that's Liu Langjun." ”

Many of the little ladies on the stage squeezed to where Liu Renjie was when they heard the sound, and then when they saw Liu Renjie, they threw silk scarves, silver coins and other objects at Liu Renjie at a price.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Renjie's face was covered with silk scarves, and the silver money smashed on his armor, which was also a dingdong sound.

Liu Renyu looked at Liu Renjie with the appearance of a great immortal, and couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Renjie saw that his general was laughing at himself, and his face immediately turned red, and then he tore off the silk scarf on his body and face, and shouted angrily to those beautiful girls: "The military camp is heavy, don't mess around." ”

The little lady on the stage saw that Liu Renjie was angry, not only was she not afraid, but she also grinned and said, "Liu Langjun is so handsome even when he is angry." ”

So, more silk scarves and silver coins were thrown down.

Liu Renjie was angry, he didn't have the courage to ask Liu Renyu to talk in a different place, so he could only shout at Ma Wenshan: "Old Ma, help us." ”

When Ma Wenshan heard this, he said to a few sword and shield soldiers under him: "Go and help Second Master Liu." ”

Several sword and shield soldiers listened to the orders of their generals, and immediately took the big shield in their hands, ran to Liu Renjie's side, and protected Liu Renjie.

The little lady on the stage couldn't see Liu Renjie anymore, she scolded loudly and angrily.

Liu Renyu looked at the situation in front of him, and suddenly said to Liu Renjie very seriously: "It seems that I have to think of a way." ”

"My lord, the people are just a little enthusiastic, and the sin is not to death."

"What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't say I wanted to kill people, I meant that since the people love to watch the excitement, it is better to set aside a field outside the barracks, install two goals, and let's play football for them. ”

"Huh!?" Liu Renjie couldn't keep up with the thinking of his own general for a while.

"Look, you are handsome, the little ladies like you, so they will throw you money, I think this is a way to make money, so it is better to form a team of handsome people in our barracks, you are the captain, I am a hateful person to form a team, play football with you, and then we will collect tickets." Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"That's a good idea, sir. Anyway, playing football is also considered physical training, I think it's okay. ”

"If you think it's okay, then let's do it."

The two Liu generals had decided on the plan, so they asked people to level out a field outside the barracks, set up two goals, and then use lime to draw the penalty area line, the middle line, and the side line, and then he sent a painter to draw the appearance of Liu Renjie and several other recognized handsome guys, and posted them in Suide City.

Under the pictorial, it is also written in large letters, popular sports in Taixi, more Keju than Keju, the war in the Taiping period, only 100 Wen, as long as 100 Wen, you may have the opportunity to get several Lang Jun's autographs, and there are gifts to give each other.

To say that in ancient times, there were relatively few items of entertainment activities, and most of them were enjoyed by scholars, landlords, and wealthy businessmen who had money and leisure, and the spiritual civilization construction of the small people in Shengdou was basically a blank, so I heard that there was a lively scene in the Jingbian Fort Army, and most of the small citizens of Suide were dispatched.

On the day of the football match, in addition to the officials of the various yamen, a total of nearly 10,000 spectators flocked to the makeshift football field, which was full of seats and people, and the hawkers who had taxed Liu Renyu took the opportunity to peddle all kinds of snacks in the audience.

After the audience was seated, the official army as the organizer sent Liu Wuguo to introduce the two teams for the emcee.

I saw Liu Wuguo, who was the master of ceremonies, dressed in military uniform, standing near the middle circle, and shouted loudly: "Thank you to all the fathers and villagers of Suide, brothers and sisters for coming to watch our Taixi-style juju competition. Everyone applauded. ”

The applause was thunderous, and the cheers were endless.

Dressed in a very festive red team uniform, and the team uniform was printed with the words "Zhou Ji Rice Shop" in black, the jade-faced Langjun team trotted to the court.

Seeing so many Lang Jun concentrated on the court, the little ladies in the stands were boiling again, and their screams came and went. After they finished screaming, in order to reflect their love for these Langjun, these beautiful girls kept throwing silk scarves, silver taels, money and other items.

Seeing this, Liu Wuguo hurriedly dissuaded: "Please control your emotions, don't throw things, littering things is fine, and the game is over, Lang Jun will naturally come to thank you, and it's not too late to ask everyone to reward again." ”

The little ladies in the stands listened to these words, and only then did they stop their irrational actions and watch the game with peace of mind.

Liu Wuguo saw that the audience's mood was stable, so he introduced loudly: "The next one to play is the ghost worry team." ”

After the master of ceremonies made an introduction, the ghost team dressed in black tights and a whiteboard on the team uniform entered the venue under the leadership of Liu Renyu.

At this meeting, there was only sparse applause from the audience.

After Liu Wuguo finished his introduction, the referee blew a whistle, and the ball game officially began.

When the two teams fought, the audience realized that Tessie's football was very different from Daming's Keju, this football seemed to be only kicked with his feet, and there was a gatekeeper at the gate, he could catch the ball with his hands.

And this football is kicked, the passing and cutting are coordinated, and it is very orderly, and the audience is quite enjoyable to watch, but some little ladies are very depressed when they see that the jade-faced Langjun team is always in a backward state.

So whenever Liu Renyu and others took the ball, there were boos on the court, and when the players of the Yumian Langjun team got the ball, there were endless cheers.

At the end of this game, Sun Wuxian, who was on the same team as Liu Renyu, asked his general: "My lord, will we win this game, or will the Yumian Langjun team win." ”

"How's the handicap out there?"

"There are more people who buy us to win."

"yes, let's just lose the game."

"Okay."

So at the last moment, the ghost saw that the team was lax in defense, and was scored three goals in a row by the jade-faced Langjun team, and the total score was 4-5.

So the audience was happy.

After the game, the members of the jade-faced Langjun team went to the designated area to thank the court, and the rich ladies who came to watch the game, all kinds of prostitutes, and folk jasper, all screamed excitedly, and constantly threw the silver money at the Lang Jun.

Among them, a few lucky little ladies were also invited to sit with the Lang Jun, and then the painter painted, the picture was painted, and finally the painting was signed by the Lang Jun and given to those beautiful girls.

Those beautiful girls got the autographed paintings of Lang Jun, and they were all rewarded casually, and then they happily returned to Suide City.

After the ball game, Liu Renyu immediately found Liu Wuguo and asked, "Brother, after this ball game, how much money did we make in total?" ”

Liu Wuguo stretched out three fingers with a smile and said word by word: "Three thousand taels." ”

"That's a lot!?" Liu Renyu said in disbelief.

"That's it, the income from tickets, the income from advertising, the business tax collected, and the gambling. The ball swallowed a lot, a total of three thousand taels. ”

"That's a good feeling, that's a good feeling, I'm still worried about food, now I can buy more food. Oh, by the way, brother, the money we got this time, we still have the old rules, fifty or fifty divided into ........ ”

Before Liu Renyu's words fell, Liu Wuguo cut off his words and said seriously: "Hey, brother Xian, don't say this again, the idea of the ball game is what you think, and the person who plays the ball game is from your side, we don't have much to do. ”

"Okay, just do it according to your wishes, brother, but my brother is the master of ceremonies, and when the court was built, my brother also supervised it on the spot, so 500 taels of remuneration, brother, please accept it, if my brother doesn't want it, then don't blame me for turning my face."

When Liu Wuguo heard this, he knew that he couldn't shirk this, so he replied with a smile: "Since this is the case, then my brother is not hypocritical, it's up to you." ”

"Okay," Liu Renyu agreed, and suddenly heard a voice from behind him, "My lord." ”

Liu Ren heard this voice and knew that Liu Renjie was back, so he turned around and said, "You are in the limelight today, Liu Langjun." ”

As soon as his voice fell, he turned his head and looked, and was suddenly startled.

I saw that Liu Renjie's arms were stuffed with silk scarves, and there were a lot of red lip prints on his face, in addition, he also carried a large cloth bag.

When Liu Renyu saw Liu Renjie like this, he laughed and teased: "Liu Langjun, today's game flowers, are you still comfortable?" ”

When Liu Renjie heard these questions, he pouted a little unhappily and said: "My lord, you let the lowly position go to kill the enemy, the lowly position doesn't say a word, and is willing to go, just to please the woman, I can't do it." ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it, if I have a look like you, I want to do it myself, you know, you do this to raise money, buy food, in order to solve the problem of recruiting people to eat, Wang Zuo sent someone back to report the news, Wang Zishun, Ji San'er, Zhang Shusheng, these three thieves have a total of 8,000 people, so many people, where does the food come from, and we have to rely on our own earnings, so what you do is very meaningful." Liu Renyu flickered.

When Liu Renjie heard these words, he replied lightly: "Oh, I know it." ”

"It's good to know, by the way, how much silver did those female benefactors reward you?"

"It's not a lot, it's 500 taels." Although Liu Renjie's tone was indifferent, the look on his face was a little proud.

"Five, five hundred taels!?"

When Liu Renyu heard this terrifying number, his mouth was crooked in surprise, he was surprised for a while, and then he asked again: "You have a reward of five hundred taels, what about the others?" ”

"Other people's money, plus mine, is a total of three thousand taels." Liu Renjie replied.

When Liu Renyu heard this number, his mouth couldn't close for a long time.

"Damn, I don't think ancient women were so open and so rich, hey, they look good, they can make money in ancient and modern times." The ugly man Liu Renyu thought depressedly.
