With the efforts of the Ming Dynasty, the smallpox epidemic was finally brought under control. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kupang City, the city where the epidemic is most severe, has not detected any new cases for a month. In the surrounding cities of Pera, Balatay, Soe and Zainek, there have been no new cases after the infected person died of serious illness or survived recovery.

The more remote cities of Dili and Tutuara counties have long since lifted the epidemic alert.

When the last person infected with smallpox left the First Hospital of the Province of Timor.

The smallpox that ravaged Timor for five months has officially come to an end.

In order to soothe the spiritual wounds of the local people, Daming took the initiative to interview the heads of various churches, and asked them to take the senior clergy to the local area to pray for blessings and solve the people's doubts.

After all, the most important thing about religion is to infect people, so that ordinary people can convert to them.

This kind of great missionary and missionary opportunity is not usually sought-after. Therefore, the heads of various religions actively agreed.

Without the urging of the Ming Dynasty, he rushed to Timor Province as soon as possible.

At the same time, various government agencies and civil society organizations in the Ming Dynasty also sent representatives to the local area to offer condolences and questions. President Yang Chong also personally went to Kupang, Pera and other severely affected areas. Visit the local people and mourn for the deceased.

And the Ming Dynasty is exempt from tax for three years for the whole province of Timor. A special fund will be added to support Timor's economic development.

This series of warmth actions has made the people of Timor Province really feel the care of Daming. The adverse effects of smallpox were also minimized.

But sad facts cannot be hidden!

According to the statistics of the relevant agencies, 5,277 people died of smallpox. Guineans make up 78 per cent of the population.

In the city of Kupang alone, 4,400 people died. That's nine percent of the city's population.

The direct and indirect losses amounted to more than 80 million Chinese dollars.

But the epidemic is over, and in the end, it is a happy thing.

Therefore, Daming wanted to eliminate the negative impact of smallpox through some method. It is a pity that the Spring Festival of 1795 came to an end with a very low sense of festivities. A great opportunity was lost.

So Da Ming was within the traverser and solicited opinions extensively. Brainstorm and see what works best.

Sure enough, three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang.

Someone really came up with a solution!

That's to hold a sports day!

There is a scientific basis for this.

Because it has been proven by scientists that exercise can produce happiness factors.

This can be described as a good medicine for the people of the Ming Dynasty who talk about the change of color of 'flowers'.

And the Games is a grand event for all people to participate in. Not only is the attention quite high, but the enthusiasm of the people to participate is also extremely high.

This has also been proven in practice.

Moreover, when the Ming Dynasty first decided in Australia, it spread many sports that were only available in later generations, and intended to vigorously promote them.

In recent years, the people of Daming have been particularly keen on sports.

The most famous is the football game.

Since the successful conclusion of the first youth football match, Daming has fixed the football game. And renamed the Daming Football League, once every two years.

According to their age, they are divided into two groups: adolescents and adults.

According to gender, it is divided into men's league and women's league.

Nowadays, the Daming Football League has become a grand event in the sports world. The participants are not only Ming people, but also football lovers from all over the world.

In terms of fame and limelight, they are about to catch up with gold.

There are immigrants who are obsessed with football, and they come purely for football.

Although there is more than one kind of football in Daming's ball games. Basketball, volleyball, rugby, and so on.

But they emerged relatively late and are not at all on the same level as football's fame.

Except for the slightly stronger momentum of basketball, other ball games are a bit half-dead. This is also to blame Daming for advocating football too much at the beginning, which makes it difficult to promote other ball games now.

In today's world, countries are concerned with seizing colonies and opening up trade. I am neither enthusiastic nor concerned about sporting events.

Games and the like have not been held in other countries or regions except for ancient Greece, which has disappeared into the long river of history, for hundreds of years.

Therefore, Daming held such an event, which is definitely a new thing.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty paid all attention to industry, so it ignored the sports meeting as a tool to brush up prestige and expand influence.

Now that I think about it, I suddenly realize.

In this way, it can not only dispel the haze of smallpox, but also increase the popularity of the Ming Dynasty. It's really killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone.

So the Ming postponed the time of the Games to August 1795. The participants not only include the Ming people, but also invite sports enthusiasts from all over the world.

The merchant ships that came and went to Daming also helped spread the news of the Ming Games to all over the world.

The location was set in the city of Meikyo.

In August, the city of Meikyo was in the middle of the dry season. There is little precipitation and the temperature is not high. It's perfect for sporting events.

Although it took half a year, it did catch up. But the people of the countries near the South Seas can still come here. Europe, the farthest away, can catch up with it with a little hurry.

Sports include running, throwing, and wrestling.

There are 200-meter dash, 1,000-meter run, 5-meter endurance run, and 20,000-meter trail run.

Throwing includes basketball, football, table tennis, volleyball, rugby, shot put.

Wrestling includes archery, equestrianism, weightlifting, dance, and martial arts.

This kind of dance and martial arts, in the original sporting events, did not exist. But Daming wants to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and in an all-round way. Just include them.

Dances include ballet, folk dance, classical dance, and other dances that can be put on the stage. For example, the stripping dance, the steel pole dance, and the hip dance can only be danced in private.

After all, people in this era are still very conservative!

If there is any time-traveler who is itchy and hot-headed enough to make such a shocking and world-shattering dance.

It's sure to cause an uproar!

People like Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, will certainly stand up against it. Perhaps it will also lead to mass violence and conflict.

Even if the Ming officials don't mind, there are a lot of energetic male compatriots. I even kept my eyes open and waited with anticipation for such a feast of eyes.

But considering the mood of conservative immigrants and avoiding stimulation, Daming had to turn this kind of dance away.

Martial arts, on the other hand, take into account the long history of Chinese martial arts and take care of Chinese immigrants.

Like kung fu on fists and feet, the Chinese have always been the best. That Chinese martial arts, in modern times, are still talked about.

But the country paid attention to it late, and even taekwondo and judo were included in large-scale sports events. Chinese martial arts, on the contrary, were excluded.

So Da Ming must not let such a thing happen!

However, Chinese martial arts are diverse, with many factions and a wide variety of differences. Therefore, Chinese martial arts are divided into two types: weapons and flesh and body.

Like fist and leg methods, they belong to the physical category.

Swordsmanship, knife technique. It belongs to the category of weapons.

All sporting events, no restrictions. Theoretically, anyone can sign up.

For example, people who don't know martial arts can also sign up for martial arts competitions. Even if he stalks on stage, he will not be kicked off the stage by the referee.

Of course, the premise is to run into a pig-like opponent. Or, its own resistance to blows is comparable to that of cockroaches and mantises.

Otherwise, let's be an honest spectator!

So under the promotion of the Daming official, the topic of the Games soon became the talk of the streets and alleys of Daming.

Even Kubang, where the epidemic is the most severe, the local people are also talking about the sports meeting one by one. Everyone's face is filled with a beautiful vision for the Games.

There's a reason for that, though.

Because in the events of the Games, the top three have rich rewards.

If it is the champion, it will be rewarded with a large gold cake weighing half a catty. The runner-up is a pound of silver cake. The third place is a three-pound copper cake.

Each winner, in the National Qualifying Examination, receives an additional 30 points. In the citizenship test, 15 extra points are added.

Especially the second, citizenship! Add 15 points!

You must know that the citizenship of the Ming Dynasty has always been demanding, with many rules and difficult questions. At present, the passing rate of the compulsory civics examination is below 40 percent. Most of the people who passed through were Chinese immigrants.

As you can imagine, the civics test is difficult!

Commercially, the winners are also convenient. Not to mention that the tax rate of opening a commercial bank is halved, even if you buy goods normally, you can also enjoy a 20% discount. At that time, as long as you hold the purchased bills and the prize cakes you get, you can go to the local Daming Bank for reimbursement.

This series of visible and seductive benefits, how can it not be tempting?

The enthusiasm of the people of Daming and people all over the world for the Games continues to rise.
