Chapter 596: Competitive as a soldier
If the first year of Zhengde is a year of surprise and infinity, then the theme of the second year of Zhengde is toss. [No pop-up novel network]
The two monarchs and ministers tossed from the capital to Liaodong, and then tossed to the East China Sea; From the court to the people, and then to the foreign vassal states, the toss is earth-shaking, and the toss is very happy.
Just when the people of the capital thought that they were accustomed to the rhythm of the emperor, on the last day of the second year of Zhengde, the emperor gave everyone another surprise, the football competition held on that day to celebrate the New Year, and the Spring Festival gala to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve and the military and civilians to enjoy together, really made many people's jaws drop.
Both are new terms, but they do not cause any difficulty in understanding.
Baseball is a ball played with a stick, then, football is a ball kicked with the feet, this thing is not new, it is just a different name, it is difficult for the old and young masters in the capital.
As for the party, it was not difficult, it was just to have a meeting in the evening. In the Zhengde Dynasty, it is not uncommon for the Son of Heaven to have fun with the people, and in various competitive sports, the emperor can be seen, and I heard that in that football game, the emperor will also play in person.
As soon as the news was released, most of the people in the capital were jubilant, but the court was full of mourning, the system of the Ming Dynasty was completely lost, and the New Year could not be stopped.
It is not only these that make them depressed, but the other side of the football game has also aroused many people's doubts, it is actually the nobles led by the British Duke and the Baoguo Prince, what does this mean?
Is it confrontation? Or is it an alliance? Or something else?
If the confrontation is of course very good, how much help you have, the more helpers, the better, as for suppressing the nobles, the scholars have long been unable to take care of it, and it is not too late to talk about that kind of thing after defeating the emperor.
But if the two sides reached some kind of tacit understanding, it would be really bad, just the two monarchs and ministers, the scholars were already weak to parry, plus the nobles...... You must know that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the latent power of these guys is still very strong, just thinking about this possible surname already makes people tremble.
What to do?
As a result, this problem caused by the same person has brought trouble to more and more people.
…… The initiator has never paid attention to these external affairs, Zhengde tightened the leggings under his feet, turned his head and shouted: "Little ones, are you ready?" ”
"Ready." The ten men behind him shouted in unison.
"Well, it's a very good mental outlook, let's go, we must kick them down." As the captain and main striker of the Royal Football Team, Zhengde raised his arms and shouted, and was the first to step into the newly built football field.
"Oh!" Although they had only practiced for more than ten days, these ten people were selected from tens of thousands of guards, and their morale was also very high, and following the emperor made them even more confident.
"Although there is the emperor on the other side, we can't lose, it's not just a matter of a few acres of land," Xu Guangzuo pointed to the other side and said viciously: "Who are they?" It's after the military household! What about us? We are all the descendants of the founding fathers, and their ancestors are all soldiers of our ancestors, you say, if we lose today, can we be worthy of our ancestors? ”
"Can't!" Dingguo Gong is the knighthood of Xu Da's son, Xu Guangzuo is also quite prestigious among the younger generation of nobles, his words really aroused the morale of the nobles, and everyone agreed with a bang.
"Remember, this is football, not Keju, the rules are all memorized for me, don't show off those fancy skills, if you want to win, you have to score, you know?"
"Got it!"
"Very good, come with me, you must not lose!" Xun Guifang's captain, the descendant of the famous general Xu Da, Xu Guangzuo, who has a dual identity, said that he absolutely could not bear to fail.
...... "Come out, come out, it's the guards in red, and the one who starts is the emperor!" ”
"Long live the emperor!"
"The emperor is mighty!"
Xu Guangzuo soon discovered that the road to victory was tortuous and difficult, and it had nothing to do with where the arena was, as long as it was in the land of Daming, no matter where it was Zhengde's home field, especially in the capital.
The overwhelming cheers not only boosted the morale of the guards, but also, seeing Zhengde smiling and waving his hand, the morale of Xungui's side also plummeted.
"Shout, shout to me, how can such a little sound be enough?"
In fact, it is not that no one cheers for them, Zhang Lun is trying to urge the entourage of each family, there are many people in the families of the nobles, and today is a big matter, and the proportion of them present is also very high, but compared to the people of the entire capital, it can only be dwarfed.
Rao was driven by Zhang Lun's fate, and everyone also tried their best to shout, but their shouts were still drowned in the voices of the people.
"It doesn't matter, how did those military families have the opportunity to play Keju in the past? Their skills are definitely not good, as long as you are careful of the emperor, go to the two of them, keep an eye on the emperor, pay attention to your feet, don't hurt him. "Xu Guangzuo is not chaotic in the face of danger, and his command is also quite general-like.
"Yes." Everyone also understood what he meant, whether it was billiards or baseball, or skateboarding and roller skating, Zhengde's skills were enough to amaze people, and like the famous craftsman Xie Hong, he seemed to be omnipotent in the field he specialized in.
If it weren't for the fact that the Guards had never been exposed to football before, even if Bao Guogong insisted on it, they still didn't dare to fight anyway, and they would definitely lose the game.
The captains on both sides have made testimonials, "Huh! "With a whistle, the game began.
Perfect ball control, beautiful passing, accurate shooting, under the leadership of Xu Guangzuo, the children of the nobles who kicked off first took the lead at the beginning.
Keju sports in China has a long history, since the Spring and Autumn Period, has been popular, in the Song Dynasty reached its peak, the famous Gao Yu is relying on the ability to Keju to enter the house.
However, this kind of sport is considered a high-end sport, before Zhengde, only the children of large families may be involved, compared to the scholarly family that regards it as not doing business, there are many children of the noble who are proficient in this way, can not be an official, nor can they be in charge of the army, what else can they do except have fun?
So, these guys are pretty good at their skills, and the ball at their feet makes them feel like a fish in water.
Although after getting their hands on it, Xu Guangzuo and others studied it for a long time, but they didn't understand what this ball was made of, it would be so bullet-like, and it was stronger than the skin. But they still liked this kind of ball right away, the touch is really good, and the rules of football are so interesting, it's much more fun than Keju.
At this point, the nobles and Jeongdeok resonate, so the game entered a white heat at the beginning.
"It doesn't matter, it's just one ball, cheer up, follow the plan in advance, and launch the attack steadily." Zhengde patted the goalkeeper on the shoulder, comforting his teammates and cheering them up.
...... "Dongyang, what do you mean by such an arrangement?" Do you really think that winning the emperor will allow him to take back his life? Although the replacement of the fields of the Huangzhuang is profitable, it is inevitable that the emperor will not hold a grudge, in case he completely expels the scholars, and when the time comes, it will be ......"
Although he was persuaded by Zhu Hui during the discussion, Lao Zhang Mao still didn't feel at ease, especially when he saw that his children had the upper hand, he was even more worried, the emperor's mind was the most terrible, if this incident buried a thorn in the emperor's heart, it would be the price that no matter how much land could be exchanged.
"Mao Gong, today is not the kind of surname who cares about everything, a few days ago, you should have heard about that in the palace, if it is replaced by Taizu Taizong, do you think things will end so easily? You must know that the one in Liaodong now has both soldiers and money and food, and the right to promote personnel is also in his hands, and what son of heaven will not be suspicious? ”
This is not unreasonable, but maybe the emperor is scheming, or has a long-term vision and can distinguish priorities? After all, it was those people who were the most problematic for him. Zhang Mao looked in the direction of Wenyuan Pavilion and groaned slightly.
"Don't forget, the emperor has issued an order to summon the kings of the world's vassal kingdoms to Beijing, as far as the younger brother knows, King Zhou and King Zheng have already been ordered to leave, with these two leaders, I am afraid that most of the other kings will also be ordered...... Mao Gong, think about it, this is an unprecedented event since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and today's courage is not ordinary? ”
"That's not a bad thing." Zhang Mao nodded slowly.
Since the year of Yongle, due to the experience of the Battle of Jingyan, the Ming Dynasty has paid more and more attention to the management of the vassal king.
In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the king of Xiangling asked the Son of Heaven to lead his son-in-law into battle to conquer the invading Tartars, but the result was rejected, which is well known. What Zhang Mao didn't know was that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Manchu Tartars were attacking Beijing, the Tang King proposed King Qin, and he was deposed as a concubine.
You can't go out of the city if you have nothing to do, and you don't even want to think about it when you come to Beijing, whether it's the emperor or the scholars, you don't want to see these people dangling in front of you.
The emperor is afraid that the vassal king will threaten his throne, and the scholars are afraid that the struggle will expand, and there is no vassal king, and they are still fighting fiercely.
If even the orthodox years are counted, Zhang Mao has gone through six dynasties, how can he not know the doorway here, listening to Zhu Hui's words, he was silent, and he couldn't find a rebuttal for a while, not to mention anything else, in terms of courage alone, the current emperor has indeed surpassed the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.
"Mao Gong, you are worried, do you think that Dingguo Gong will win?" Zhu Hui smiled leisurely and asked Zhang Mao.
"Oh? Now the emperor has fallen behind by two goals, and besides, except for the emperor himself, everyone else's ball control skills are quite rusty, so ...... Is there still a chance to win? Zhang Mao's brows twitched, and he stared intently for a moment before asking.
"Actually, last summer, when the emperor began to form that baseball team, the younger brother already had a glimpse of the mystery." Zhu Hui sighed: "There are not many people involved in the two sides of baseball, there are only eighteen people in total, but between advancing and retreating, they can be consistent with each other, but they don't need orders, at that time, the younger brother was thinking, this sport is somewhat similar to military affairs, and the result is ......."
He didn't say it all, the allusion of Zhengde using baseball to train soldiers is known today, before the expansion, the weapons in the hands of the guards have always been iron rods, and it was not until after the expansion that there was a change, and there was no need to bother on it.
"It's the same in football today, individual skills are important, but in the end, it's the coordination and tactics that determine the winner." Seeing that Zhang Mao was still puzzled, Zhu Hui pointed to the field and explained: "Although the Guards are in decline at the moment, it should be caused by the lack of adaptation to the new opponent, and after they get used to it, the situation will soon be reversed, Mao Gong, and look at this goal!" ”
Zhang Mao hurriedly looked up to see that this was the time for the Guards to counterattack with the ball, and unlike the style of Xungui's side, which tried his best to show his personal skills, the Guards' attack relied on fast passing. The sons of the nobles had no relevant tactical training, and the defense was all rushed up, so they were quickly broken through the defense line by the Guards.
The reason why the ball was cut off before was because the guards didn't expect that there were actually two people who were specifically targeting Zhengde, which was the case, and after discovering this, Zhengde immediately adjusted his tactics, from his personal showmanship mode to an overall attack, and this time, the nobles couldn't resist.
Looking at the scrambled appearance of his companions, the two people who were staring at Zhengde were also a little dumbfounded, but one was careless, and the target of staring was gone, Zhengde's sports cells were unparalleled in the world, and a dodge had thrown the two followers out of the distance, and after receiving the pass from his teammates, he didn't stop to shoot with a volley.
The goalkeeper couldn't respond, the ball went into the net, and the thunder was slow inside and outside the field.
"Sure enough, ......" This series of movements was like flowing water, Zhang Mao was also dizzy, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he bowed his head slightly: "In this way, it seems that it is a fairly strong posture." ”
"Mao is tolerant, the previous defense was caused by mistakes, the guards have come to their senses now, Dingguo Gong and they will definitely not have another chance, you see......"
Xu Guangzuo thought about the same as Zhang Mao, feeling that even if his defense was not effective, the offense was still advantageous. However, when he rushed to the opponent's half with the ball, he soon found that something was wrong, obviously the opponent had the same number of people as his side, but no matter where he went, or who he passed the ball to, he always faced more than two people.
Before he could think about it, the attack and defense had already reversed, and the Guards' mercury-like attack began again.
"With tacit understanding and cooperation, even if the technology is a little behind, the emperor still has the upper hand in the battle, and after a while, I'm afraid that Dingguo Gong and they won't even be able to touch the ball." For most of his life, Zhu Hui was not as incompetent as the civil officials said, at least the vision he showed was sharp enough.
"Dongyang's vision is really extraordinary, and his insight is also high, Dingguo Gong and they tried their best, but in the end they still lost to the emperor, presumably Long Yan will also be happy." Zhang Mao completely let go of his heart, and even had some joy.
"The emperor may not be happy, but this opportunity is very good."
Zhu Hui shook his head and smiled: "Baseball has made the Guards, and football may not be able to achieve people like us who have been protected by our ancestors, so that Sun and my family's unsuccessful grandchildren are all stubborn surnames, and they don't like to study, so they have to be lustful, if they can use football to make them pay attention, and then as the emperor's sparring partner, they will join the ......Guards in the future."
He let out a long laugh and said: "Hehe, Jin Shang and Xie Hong are both enterprising people, our children have been learning military strategy since they were young, if they join the army, what is the difficulty of fighting for a future with their own skills in the future?" What is that little bit of land compared to all of this? ”
"I don't want Dongyang's thoughts to be so far-reaching, okay, so good, just follow Dongyang's charter." Zhang Mao stroked his palms and smiled, admiring again and again.
