Chapter 84: Keju Training
Wu Xian explained on the side: "This juju drama has the meaning of attacking and defending in battle formations. ”
In this regard, Zhao Wuxian is a little proud, in this era of very scarce folk entertainment projects, he has long foreseen the craze caused by Keju in Chengxiang.
In fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the prototype of Keju has appeared, and legend has it that this was invented by the Yellow Emperor. After defeating Chi You in the battle of the deer, the Yellow Emperor killed Chi You, made his stomach into a sphere called "Ju", and ordered the soldiers to shoot him with arrows and kick him, and the most successful ones were rewarded. Although I don't know whether the ancient legend is true or not, since then, there has been a tradition in various countries to "order the play of Keju to train samurai".
Probably because the country of the Shaohao clan where Chi You is located is in Shandong, and at present, Keju is mainly popular in Qilu, and no shirt has also been played in Xinjiang Shifang.
However, this kind of juju is still a one-person entertainment, and the performers dance with the rhythm of the music by kicking the "bow" with their feet, chest, back, and other parts. The skillful ones could also play drums and music at the same time, and whenever they attracted crowds of onlookers, the witty merchants of Qi used this method to attract crowds before selling their goods.
After coming to Chengyi, when Zhao Wuxian was assigned to the soldiers for the first time, he proposed to Wang Sunqi to train the villagers with a bow.
For if you come up, let these vulgar country people listen to the golden drums, distinguish the flags, practice battle formations, practice archery, and at the same time call them to dig ditches, etc. It's okay in the short term, but in the long run, although the villagers don't dare to object, they will definitely lack interest and efficiency. Rather than this, it is better to do what he likes and tempt him with the play of juju.
The shirtless remodeled "Keju" is different from the Qidi Keju, and is more modeled after the football and rugby of later generations.
The "foot box" kicked by everyone in the field is made by craftsmen, with leather as the element, and there are swollen pig urine bubbles inside, and then it is really made of hair, rice bran, etc., although it is not as good as the football of later generations, but the elasticity and quality are not bad.
Of course, the hardware facilities in the field are too simple compared to the big football fields of later generations: on both sides of the field, two bamboo trees are planted, several feet high, and the fishing net is the door on the top, and there is no line on the lawn, but the soil is the boundary. Based on the rules of football in the future, two teams are played, with eleven players each, and the one who kicks the ball into the goal wins.
At the same time, the physical collision of rugby was also retained, and the foul requirements were not so strict, so the confrontation of this game was very intense, and even wrestling skills were allowed when it came into physical contact.
Through Keju, one can exercise the physique of the soldiers; secondly, through fierce physical confrontation, the courage and unyielding spirit of the soldiers can be stimulated; Three, two sides of the battle, but also to cultivate the team spirit of the soldiers; Fourth, because there are referees and rules, soldiers can develop the habit of obeying orders. In the end, "the order will move forward bravely, and the order will be prohibited".
At that time, even if these new pawns are pulled directly onto the battlefield, in the face of the roaring chariots, they will probably be able to "hold the spear in the palm of your hand without shaking, and have saliva in your mouth to swallow".
Therefore, compared with the crowd drinking and gambling money in the Japanese army, Keju can be said to have a hundred benefits and no harm, and at the same time it also has the effect of boosting morale. The townsfolk joked that as long as they could play Keju a few more times a month, they would not feel tired of working and practicing the ranks.
Of course, the premise of loving to play and watch is to be able to eat and be hungry, who has the strength to run around and shout on the field? At present, Zhao Wuxian, with the support of the Dou, Jia, and Sang clans, has done his best, but he can only make the people have enough food and clothing, and ensure that the savages will not be starved from cold, although the two hundred soldiers have taken care of them, but they only eat an extra bowl of brown rice for each meal.
If you want to make "food", this "important matter of the people" to a higher level, you have to wait for the wheat harvest next month. However, seeing that the beans are ripening these days, there is a delicious snack that can be made and tasted first.
At this moment, the surrounding people let out another violent shout, and at the same time there was a pity and lamentation. Zhao Wuxian came back to his senses, and looked at the field, only to see a tall warrior in a soap-colored suit standing in front of his door, steadily catching a shot that was almost shot.
That man was Mucha.
Zhao Wuxian's four cronies, as can be seen from their performance on the Keju field, each has a different style.
Mucha, like his own guard, is only one guard on the field, and he is rarely seen in the attack, but he is as defensive as a rock and immobile as a mountain.
Yu Xi commanded the light knights, was agile and flexible, and even used the cavalry thinking of Keju, often leading the light and fluttering, and his speed was like the wind.
Tian Ben is not only strong in skills, but also has a lot of fancy moves, and he is also fierce on the field. He dared to work hard, his head was broken and he didn't retreat, and no one dared to launch a madness, which can be described as aggression like fire.
And the well from the wild man, like his name, is drawn one stroke at a time, and it looks unpassionate, and it can't surprise people. But he is good at mobilizing the original lowly pawns, pinching them into a whole, and winning with overall cooperation, and his Xu Rulin is most in line with Zhao Wuxian's original intention of promoting Keju.
Their style was also brought into the two middle schools under their jurisdiction, so Wuxian privately nicknamed them the Four Simas of the Wind Forest Volcano.
Wang Sun Qi also commented privately, he said: "Muxia, the material of the palace armor; Yu Xi, the material of the selection; Tian Ben, the material of the trap; Well, the material of the military Sima. "Each of the four has its own strengths.
In addition, Yang Tongue Rong was rated by him as the material of the township and the garrison.
And when asked about himself, Wang Sunqi smiled and didn't answer.
At that time, Wuxian jokingly asked: "Wang Sun's material, is it a brigade handsome?" Is the teacher handsome? Is the military commander? ”
Wang Sun Qi only bowed slightly: "I am only willing to follow Fei Chang and Xi Zhong, and the duty of the emperor to send a car is enough." ”
The father is the distant ancestor of the Zhao family, the royal Rong of Shang Tang, and Xi Zhong is the ancestor of the Xue State, which is the Che Zheng of the Xia Hou clan.
Obeying the rules and focusing on one's own duties, this is the temperament of Wang Sunji, but Wuxian feels that in that case, it is really overkill.
Having said that, the new commander he planned to appoint would be selected from among these four two horses.
But Mu Xia and Yu Xi each have full-time jobs, so only Tian Ben and Jing are left, but Tian Ben is a wicked young man with an unchanging temperament, and his personality is like a wild horse, so I am afraid it will be difficult to entrust important tasks.
For the well, Zhao Wuxian was a little hesitant, he felt that the well was of course loyal to him, but he also couldn't figure out his character: Jing worked under Wuxian, which can be described as hard-working and cautious, but there was always something not right, as if he was separated from Zhao Wuxian.
"Boom!"
At this time, the "referee" on the sidelines sounded the gong and announced the end of this keju.
Zhao Wuxian found that he was thinking about things again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, with the authority in his hand, the responsibility would be unconsciously pressed on his shoulders, even if it was just a township, it was not easy.
Anyway, the status of these four people is only that of the countrymen, and they have not yet been rewarded for their meritorious service and are named scholars, and if they want to be clumsy and become the commander, I am afraid that the lower palace will not agree. Let Yang Tongue Rong be in charge of it alone, and Wang Sun will assist, there should be no problem in the short term, so let's do it for the time being.
"Why is it over so quickly?"
"Let's play again!"
The people around were a little dumbfounded, and it seemed that they hadn't seen enough.
Zhao Guangde also breathed a sigh of relief, he was sweating profusely, his eyes and heart followed the foot, once there was a change on the field, he clenched his fists tightly to cheer for the guards. When he was in Wendi, he also lived a life of flying eagles and dogs, and Liubo throwing pots, but he didn't expect that there was such a unique game in the world, although he watched with the lowly people, but he could have such fun, it was amazing.
Puzzled, Zhao Wuxian replied to him with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the story of Lu Zhuang Gongru Qiguan Society?" ”
Zhao Guangde nodded, the Spring and Autumn Societies are festivals for the Chinese people to hold sacrifices, and the Spring Society of Qi is the most summer. At that time, there will be games such as flute, drumming, beating, playing the piano, cockfighting, dogs, and six games, which are very lively. Because of this, young men and women in the neighborhood flocked to the club, and after nightfall, they ran together in the wilderness outside the society, full of spring.
As the monarch of the Lu State, Lu Zhuang Gong was particularly interested in this foreign country society, and Cao Di, who was "full of energy" in the Battle of the Long Spoon, repeatedly admonished, but he did not listen, and even crossed the border to the Qi State to watch.
Zhao Wuxian explained: "The truth in this is that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone. ”
The little fat man recalled this sentence repeatedly, thoughtfully.
Wuxian pointed to the crowd and said proudly: "Today, I have made people bow here, and when the people heard the sound of the bow, they were happy and told each other: How many diseases are there in the gentleman's house?" How can you bow too? There is nothing else, and there is joy with the people. ”
"Don't hide it from my cousin, my ambition is to let the entire Chengyi, the entire Zhao family, and even the entire Jin Kingdom be able to enjoy with me!"
