Chapter Ninety-Five: The Rugby Match
In the cold winter and snow, in the gymnasium, Zhao Dezhao and Sun Yue were enthusiastically discussing matters related to the first Rugby League of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Your Highness, what does the official family mean, but the front division of the palace and the guard division are grouped to fight?"
"No, no, no, Brother Sun's news still doesn't seem to be very well-informed, the reorganization of the forbidden army has come to an end, my father intends to set up four more guards under the three ya, this big competition, but also intends to test the water in advance, so this big competition will be divided into four groups, how to plan as a whole, but I'm worried, Brother Sun, you don't help me, I really don't know how to get it, it's a lot of work."
"Oh? In this way, the official family attaches great importance to this big competition? ”
"Quite seriously."
Sun Yue smiled and didn't speak, but she couldn't help but be happy in her heart.
It has been nearly two years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the past two years, Zhao Kuangyin's mind to change the army can be said to be known to passers-by, and it can even be said that in the past two years, he has been busy with this matter in addition to conscripting Li Yun and Li Chongjin.
Speaking of the four guards, Sun Yue has to admire Zhao Kuangyin's brain hole, after Murong Yanzhao left, the inspection of the front division of the palace was personally carried out by himself, to put it bluntly, this position was abolished, and Gao Huaide's deputy inspection was exempted after the release of military power with a glass of wine, but he did not find someone to fill this position, so there was no chief in the entire front division of the palace.
There is no chief in the front of the palace, and the guard department checks Shi Shouxin, who should be the first person in the forbidden army, hehe, of course not, at present, the guard division is in full swing, and he is actually quite embarrassed, besides, the reason why Zhao Kuangyin took away Murong Yanzhao and Han Lingkun is that he is afraid that the two of them will have too much power, if Shi Shouxin is put on top, won't it be a change of soup and not a change of medicine? So, Zhao Kuangyin set up four guards below, namely: the Iron Cavalry Army under the front division of the palace, the Crane Control Army, the Long Jie Army and the Hujie Army under the Guard Division, and four more commanders under the four guards.
And Shi Shouxin, in fact, is now a special product of the reform period of the Guards Division, it seems that it is okay to say that he is the first soldier in the world, but to say that he is a mascot, it seems that there is nothing wrong.
And what Sun Yue has to do now is to make him not even be this mascot.
Since Zhao Kuangyin attaches great importance to this rugby game, Zhao Dezhao naturally attaches more importance to this rugby game, this is the first thing he has done after he went out of the cabinet this year, and he is determined to hold this game beautifully, this thing doesn't know the contradiction between Sun Yue and Shi Shouxin, and is discussing the arrangement of the competition system with Sun Yue with great interest.
Since people sincerely invited, Sun Yue naturally pushed the boat to do it.
Originally, rugby is not very suitable for winter play, because the grass is gone in winter, it will hurt when you fall to the ground, and it is easy to get sick after running and sweating, but this ball game is still a training in the final analysis, the biggest enemy of the Northern Song Dynasty is always the Khitan in the north, and the Khitan generally enters the Khitan in winter, so Zhao Kuangyin deliberately arranged this game in winter, anyway, if you want Sun Yue to come to see it, it is a word, loss.
There are many such tricks Zhao Kuangyin, such as when he is paid, he will let the soldiers in the east of the city go to the west of the city to get grain, and the soldiers in the west of the city go to the east of the city to get grain, and he is not allowed to hire people and hire cars. If you can't carry it, you can throw it down, it's not that you won't send it, it's that you don't have the ability to withdraw the money yourself.
So in short, these GIs in the early Song Dynasty were about to make Zhao Kuangyin play badly, and when they learned that they were going to play rugby without protective gear on a cold day, they all calmly said that we are used to it.
Sun Yue's competition system is like this, the four guards have a total of 16 compartments, 160 armies, 1,600 battalions, with the battalion as a unit first in each army to compare, and finally select 160 teams, according to the four armies divided into 40 groups for confrontation, each group is promoted to a team, which army is promoted to the battalion more, which army is considered to win the championship, and then 40 groups are eliminated again, and the last is the champion, and the whole battalion is promoted and raised, which is also simple and rude.
With such a large amount of work, it is estimated that this rugby competition will have to be celebrated in the New Year, that is, Zhao Dezhao has the leisure time to do this thing, if it weren't for Sun Yue's concern about Yin Shi's trustworthiness, he would have to find a way to push it.
And Zhao Dezhao felt that the reason why Sun Yue was able to agree was because of his own co-optation, the last time he played ice hockey, he didn't have the same knowledge as Lu Mengzheng, it was really prescient, and it could be regarded as a mistake between the two of them, and the most important thing was Sun Yue's brain, which was really imaginative, and he wanted to pry open his brain to see if the child's brain was in the brain.
What kind of team uniforms, cheerleaders, they are all performance projects that he has never heard of, and even what kind of advertising does this product propose to attract investment? Sponsor? Dude, let's train the army, can you be serious?
Sun Yue said: "If Your Highness disagrees, you might as well ask the official's opinion on this matter, such a large-scale training will cost more than 10,000 yuan, if you count the competitions of all armies, this is a super competition of 1,600 teams, and the soldiers of each battalion have finally fought their way out of the encirclement, you can't just reward the champion, where does such a large reward come from?" Of course, I know that the officials can afford to spend this money, but this year's big competition will be done, will it be done next year? If it is done every year, there is a mountain of gold in the treasury that can't afford it, Your Highness, you can't do anything to run this game, if you can come up with a way to make this competition go on every year, and really play the role of military training, then it is called ability, and it will make the officials look at you differently, what does Your Highness think? ”
Zhao Dezhao thought for a while, it seems that what Sun Yue said is indeed very reasonable, although the Great Song Dynasty is rich, but Zhao Kuangyin is very poor, on the day of the Chenqiao Mutiny, why didn't the soldiers enter the city to loot? That's because Zhao Kuangyin emptied the country's treasury, which filled the stomachs of those soldiers.
It's been two years, and it's hard to save some money, release the military power with a glass of wine, and 'buy' all the military power back, he is benevolent, but the secret vault is very empty, otherwise he would have been cut like that? There are a total of about 100 female eunuchs in the entire palace, compared with the hundreds of thousands of palace maids in Li Longji's period, there is not even a fraction of the family, and the unified external caliber is that the official family is thrifty, but do you think he really doesn't want to spend money? He really didn't have it, otherwise Zhao Guangmei wouldn't be like that if he wanted to spend two dollars, he would have to give him ideas.
Zhao Dezhao, who has no money, doesn't care, but the three words of ability firmly attract him, who doesn't want to pass the throne to his son, who wants his younger brother to be in charge, to put it bluntly, isn't he afraid that he will not be able to pick up the big beam at a young age, if he can prove to his father and the world that he has the ability, he is willing to do anything.
"Okay, in that case, I'll leave all these things to you, and I will rely on you for this event, and I can rest assured that you can do things."
