Luoyang West Gate, Luoyang Dazheng Imperial Court because of the need to guard against the Tang army in Tongguan, so the West Gate stationed the most soldiers, but for a long time, the Tang army stationed in Tongguan did not move at all, which caused most of the soldiers to have nothing to do, and because it was close to the war, so they were not allowed to leave the military camp half a step, so in addition to Shan Xiongxin and Wang Renze, the army was rigorous, and arranged for their subordinates to practice strictly, whether it was dog days and scorching heat, let the subordinate soldiers hold knives and guns, and practice the martial arts training ground, while the soldiers of other military camps, in addition to drinking and sleeping, is gamblingAs a result, there are many casinos here at the West Gate of Luoyang, and all kinds of gambling and gambling equipment are popular in the barracks at the West Gate of Luoyang, and the soldiers stationed in Luoyang are either playing dice, or pushing pai gow, and Wang Shichong and others also think that the soldiers are dying on the battlefield, as long as there are no major problems, they will turn a blind eye. The money from the www.biquge.info eldest grandson Wuxian came to the Luoyang military camp, and some sergeants who were familiar with the eldest grandson Wuxian greeted the eldest grandson Wuxian warmly:

"Yo! Isn't this the eldest grandson! Yo! There you are. ”

"Ahh Ma Lao Wu! How's it going!? Are your legs okay!? "This Ma Lao Wu is also one of the fox friends of the eldest grandson Wuxian, who used to be a strong samurai, but later because he injured his leg during the war, he was assigned to the cooking camp as a cook.

"What else can I do, it's all the same, nothing has changed, Lord Eldest Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time, and today you have also come to this gold treasure land to dig gold and silver." (In the eyes of gamblers, casinos are places where gold and silver are mined, but they don't notice the dangers of gambling in the slightest.)

"That's right! It just so happens that I have a little money recently and my hands are itchy, so isn't this just ...... Hahaha! ”

"Ahh Hahaha! Understood, then please come with me! Ma Lao Wu brought the eldest grandson Wuxian to the largest casino in the Luoyang West Military Camp, and in the entire casino, the gamblers' scolding, as well as the collision of pai gow and dice, and the joy and angry scolding of gamblers winning and losing filled the entire camp tent:

"Big, big!"

"Tiny Tiny!"

"Hahahaha! It's a heavenly card, and labor and management win. ”

"Hahahaha! Take the money, take the money! ”

"Damn, it's really bad luck, the one who steps on the horse, give it to the ......" At this time, Ma Lao Wu pulled the eldest grandson Wuxian down in front of a gambling table in the middle:

"Ugh! Brothers, give way, let go! "This table is pushing pai gow, a dealer is collecting money there, as soon as he saw the eldest grandson Wuxian, he immediately greeted him warmly, but his face was a little strange:

"Yo! It's the eldest grandson! There you are. "This dealer's name is Ouyang Changle, who used to be the personal soldier of the eldest grandson Wuxian, and he was also the gambler of the eldest grandson Wuxian. However, there is one point, that is, when the eldest grandson Wuxian was in power, he owed Ouyang Changle a lot of gambling debts.

"Oh! It's Changle! The official owed you a lot of gambling debts, if the official is not mistaken, I seem to owe you 1,000 copper coins and 25 taels of silver, right? ”

"Where, where! Lord Eldest Sun, this is all from the past, and I have long forgotten it. "In fact, as an ordinary soldier, he has not been out of the barracks for a long time, Ouyang Changle's news is not so well-informed, even if the eldest grandson Wuxian is demoted several levels, in the eyes of a small soldier like Ouyang Changle, he will always be a high-ranking figure, of course, if Ouyang Changle knew that the eldest grandson Wuxian was treated as a dog by Wang Shichong's father and son, I am afraid he would not have such an attitude. Just as Ouyang Changle was thinking in his heart, a small bag was thrown onto the table:

"Hmmm! Lord Eldest Sun, what ...... are you" Eldest Sun Wuxian smiled slightly:

"Open it and take a look!" Ouyang Changle opened the small cloth bag and took a look:

"Ahh Lord Eldest Sun, this is ......"

"I've been owing gambling debts for a few days, no, a total of thirty taels with interest, do you want to order a little!" Ma Lao Wu was a little speechless with excitement.

"Lord Eldest Sun, Lord Eldest Sun, I ...... it"

"Alright, alright, come on! Everyone is here today to be happy, come on, come on! Everyone! ”

"Good! Let's all play! I'm on the side of Lord Changsun. ”

"I'm betting on the dealer's side."

"Ahh It is the Twin Heavens Supreme. The eldest grandson won. ”

"Hahaha! I also won. ”

"Oh! Tiger head against copper hammer, equal, dealer wins. Driven by the eldest grandson Wuxian, there was an active atmosphere in the entire camp. The eldest grandson Wuxian is like this, winning some from time to time, and the eldest grandson Wuxian will win the money to invite the sergeants who come to gamble to drink, and from time to time the won money loses again, and also loses more, for a while, the eldest grandson Wuxian has another nickname of the God of Wealth. The eldest grandson Wuxian felt that the time was ripe, so he began to only lose but not win, of course, if he didn't have the silver, he signed an IOU, and the result was naturally more and more. When he came to the barracks again the next morning, on this day, the eldest grandson Wuxian came to the Luoyang barracks again, and a large group of people were already waiting in front of the barracks.

"Lord Eldest Sun, you're early!"

"Ahh Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting here so early. ”

"Yes! Lord Eldest Sun, everyone is waiting for you...... Hey, hey, hey! "The eldest grandson Wuxian deliberately didn't know what the reason was:

"Oh! That's just right! Come on, come on! Today happens to be an auspicious day, and I just happened to meet a fortune teller today, saying that today's official is prosperous and lucky, and he will definitely be lucky. Come, everyone, and have a big battle with this officer today. As he spoke, he ignored everyone's eyes and walked directly to the tent, and when the people present saw the eldest grandson Wuxian, they didn't say anything, and followed the eldest grandson Wuxian into the tent.

"Hahaha! Eldest grandson, I'm sorry, you won again, and I lost again. ”

"Hey! It doesn't matter, take it, take it! ”

"Ugh! Your Excellency, ......" The eldest grandson Wuxian was holding a pot of wine and pouring it into his mouth, when he suddenly heard a strange tone in the voice of the other party.

"Hmmm! What's going on? The other family looked at the eldest grandson Wuxian strangely:

"Lord Eldest Sun, you ......"

"Hmmm! What's wrong with me, what the hell are you going to say? The eldest grandson Wuxian said while drinking:

"Hmmm! Lord Eldest Sun, you don't have any money for me......" The more the person at home spoke, the quieter his voice became, and the eldest grandson Wuxian looked at the emptiness in front of him, and rummaged through his pockets again, but did not find a penny:

"Hmmm! This, hehehe! Good! I didn't have enough money on my official today, but tomorrow, how about tomorrow and tomorrow? The eldest grandson Wuxian stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly, I found a large group of people around me, and they all had the same thing on their hands - IOUs.

"Lord Eldest Sun, you already owe me fifty-seven taels and eight dollars. Today, I hope you must give an explanation. ”

"Yes! Eldest grandson, you owe me a lot. Today I hope you will also give me an explanation. ”

"Yes! Eldest grandson, you owe me a lot. Today, I hope you will also give me an explanation......" Looking at the surging crowd, the eldest grandson Wuxian remembered the scene when Wei Lao Wu was collecting debts. The eldest grandson Wuxian wiped the cold sweat on his head and said:

"Huh! Brothers, I'm sorry that I don't have much money with me today. Tomorrow, I will definitely give you a ...... tomorrow" Eldest Sun Wuxian said while secretly observing who were their subordinates: 'Qin Shubao's pro-soldier battalion, Cheng Yanjin's guard battalion, Niu Jinda's forward battalion, hmm! It's all here. The eldest grandson Wuxian responded in vain, and at the same time longed for the outside to squeeze out. But those who were around didn't let it go:

"Lord Eldest Sun, don't be in such a hurry! Today's business is not over yet! "The eldest grandson Wuxian's opponent said to the eldest grandson Wuji:

"Lord Changsun, it's not a brother, it's hard for us to be Lord Changsun, it's just that on the one hand, you already owe us a few thousand taels, and on the other hand, we poor soldiers don't have anything else to earn, except for this military salary, there is only this gambling, so I hope Lord Changsun will take these IOUs." As he spoke, a hill of IOUs appeared in front of the eldest grandson Wuxian. The eldest grandson Wuxian looked at those IOUs, his eyes shining.

Attached: Historical trivia: the origin, current situation and future of Pai Gow

Pai Gow has a long history, broad and profound, it began in the Qin Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty to spread to the present, spread at home and abroad, and is deeply loved by the majority of folk scholars.

According to legend, in order to resist foreign invasion, Qin Shi Huang spent decades and mobilized countless laborers to build the Great Wall from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiamen Pass in the west. There were many earth-shattering stories during this period. Pai Gow is one of them. There are 32 cards in Pai Gow, 21 styles, and a total of 227 points. It is made of bamboo, bone, ebony, also known as cow brand, domino, bamboo card, etc. In the construction of the Great Wall, there are 21 dignitaries and skilled craftsmen (including the emperor and the prime minister) to participate in the design and manufacture of Pai Gow, and Meng Jiangnu's husband Wan Xiliang is also one of the creators, sharing 227 days, divided into four directions. At that time, the ideological motive of the creator was to provide entertainment and rest for the laborers who built the Great Wall, because the working conditions of the laborers who built the Great Wall at that time were particularly difficult, the working hours and labor intensity were particularly high, and the escapes and exhaustion occurred from time to time, which seriously affected the progress of the project. The prime minister ordered the overseers to create a form of entertainment to win the hearts of the workers, so that they could not work and be at ease. The loser is willing to pay a heavier price than others, so Pai Gow is born. This way of playing is called push pai gow, and the player is called pressing pai gow, and the play is two pai gow, collectively referred to as playing pai gow. At that time, there were no dice, called throwing leopards, using sorghum stalks to split two halves about ten centimeters long, taking four on the plane with coals to drive into 1.2.3.4 black dots, after throwing out to see the number of black dots, from one to ten.

During the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao liked to play Pai Gow and disliked the rigid number of leopard points, so he tried to create a flexible and diverse leopard.

In the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong Li Shimin sat firmly in the country. Immersed in women and pai gow all day long, pushing pai gow as the main content of the pastime, the palace and the people are very popular. At the beginning of the last century, the Japanese invaders established a "puppet Manchurian government" in Manchuria, and the prefect of the invasion of China knew China's Pai Gow culture, so he invited the puppet emperor and his younger brother and other ministers to accompany the Japanese to play Pai Gow, once, the Chinese emperor got his hand is three Ding, six sets of thought to be the winner, the emperor is big, rule the world, the Japanese side got the hand is the tiger head, Hua Jiu insisted on being the winner, there was a dispute in the order of the size of the cards, the Japanese side said that I am the winner of the devil to beat the emperor, the Chinese side has no way, I had to swallow my anger and give in. Later, in order to please the Japanese, the sycophants played four cards of pai gow called the big pai gow with ingenuity, and changed the order of the size recognized in the history of pai gow, the devil is in charge of the emperor, and the emperor is in charge of the nine kings of the sky (Wang Ye), and then the size is ranked according to the number of points recognized in history, so far the four pai gow is also known as the big pai gow, which is spread throughout the country in the Northeast.

Second, the status quo of Pai Gow

Because of playing pai gow to win or lose fast, unearned, so the history of the players racked their brains, do everything possible to deceive people, deceive me, there is a common saying that ten bets nine deceive, some make a fuss on the dice, there are mercury dice, magnet dice and other various dead dice, in recent years, players have created a variety of positioning dice, induction dice, remote control dice. Some make a fuss on the cards, make secret marks on the cards, look at the cards, steal beams and change columns, etc. In recent years, there have been people who have invented Pai Gow cards that can be seen through, monitoring Pai Gow tiles, single control and two-person control, etc., which are diverse and dazzling. At the same time, all over the country, large and small underground gambling schools have sprung up one after another, and advertisements for gambling schools have been posted on the streets, stations, newspapers, magazines, and public toilets, and gambling technology has been popularized within a certain range. As a result, many people look at the cards and sigh, and only know how to "actually fight".

3. The future of Pai Gow

With the development of science and technology, some players absorb the essence of various pai gow technology, effectively combine the dice and cards organically through high-tech means, and invent and manufacture the pai gow machine, which automatically shuffles the cards like the mahjong machine, and throws the dice electrically, trying to change the existing cheating methods and technologies. Because it is computer-controlled, the accuracy and efficiency are much higher than the existing manual technology and equipment, and this pai gow opportunity brings good news to players, whether it is entertainment or actual combat, it is of epoch-making significance.

In addition, mahjong is also a game that evolved from pai gow.
