Chapter 454: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

I saw that on the school field of the military academy, a square playing field made of lime was going on, and the personnel of the game were divided into two teams, one of which had a red scarf on their heads, and the other team had a blue scarf to distinguish them, and on the bodies of these competition players, they were all wearing leather armor for infantry, which did not look like a game at all, but more like a war.

The two sides of the game are competing for a football, but what makes Zhengde very puzzled is that the first rule of the game that Zhou Chong explained to him before is that except for the goalkeeper, other players can not touch the football with their hands, but the two teams in front of them have no one to abide by this rule, one by one they all go up to grab the ball like crazy, and they do everything hand in hand, if it weren't for Zhou Chong's deliberate reminder that this is a football game, I'm afraid Zhengde will think it's a wrestling match.

"Second brother, are these people playing football?"

Zhengde asked in disbelief, he just watched a member of the red team being pulled down by a member of the blue team, revealing a big lump inside, and then another member of the blue team snatched the ball with a flying pounce, holding the ball and began to run wildly, several members of the red team wanted to stop him, but they were all savagely knocked away, and the last leap even knocked into the opponent's goal with the ball, causing the surrounding people to whine.

"Although I don't want to admit it, my brother really wants to train these people into a football team, but I didn't expect these people to think that there are too many rules in football, so they changed football to the way they look, but I think it can't be called football anymore, but should be called rugby."

Zhou Zhong said weakly, the football rules he proposed were changed by these people in the military academy.

It became the rugby of later generations.

Even leather armor was worn on his body.

It's almost the same as rugby in later generations.

"Rugby? Why the name? ”

Zhengde couldn't distinguish the focus of the problem at all, but cared about these irrelevant subsections.

"The round football is not easy to grab, and in two days I will have people change the current football into a two-pointed olive-shaped shape, so that they can grab it!"

Zhou Zhong said viciously, although he has always asked the football team in the military academy to play according to the rules he formulated, but unfortunately these boys in the military academy have already skinned, and they promised very well on the surface, but how to rob or how to rob at the bottom.

Because they knew that His Royal Highness King Zhao, who was not much older than them, would not punish them for such a trivial matter.

"Hahaha~, it's a good way to turn a round ball into a two-pointed ball, but I think the following two teams seem to be games, but when grabbing the ball, they also pay attention to courage, cooperation and strategy, which is really a good training method!"

Zhengde doesn't care about football or rugby, in his opinion, as long as he can train a group of brave generals for himself, it is a good ball.

Zhengde casually chatted with Zhou Chong.

Then he put all his heart and soul on rugby below, after all, this kind of sport full of violence and bravery is also his favorite.

Even Zhengde felt that the sports that Zhou Zhong gave him before were not as good as the rugby in front of him.

Looking at Zhengde's happy appearance, Zhou Chong also shook his head helplessly, Zhengde's character has long been fixed, and he can't change it, martial arts and fun have almost become synonymous with Zhengde, which also makes many people able to grasp Zhengde's preferences, so as to climb to the position of power, such as Liu Jin, Qian Ning and Jiang Bin and others, even he, who is a younger brother, in order to keep Zhengde away from Jiang Bin, can only divert Zhengde's attention from play.

Accompanied Zhengde to watch a rugby game in the military academy, and at the end of the game, Zhengde also called the two teams to give the rewards respectively, and then Zhengde also talked to these students very cordially, chatting about rugby, and even learned some skills from these students to grab the ball.

Zhou Zhong sat next to him and watched Zhengde who was discussing rugby with others, and felt a little relieved at first, after all, he finally transferred Zhengde's interest from Jiang Bin, but then he was shocked, because he suddenly thought of another possibility.

Early the next morning, Zhou Chong entered the palace again, but when he found Zhengde, he saw the scene he didn't want to see the most, only to see Zhengde and Jiang Bin, the righteous sons, divided into two teams, competing for a two-pointed rugby ball, and looking at their sweaty appearance, it is estimated that they have been playing for a long time.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Zhou Zhong couldn't wait to give himself two slaps, he wanted to use fun to divert Zhengde's attention, but he didn't expect him to go too far, patronizing Zhengde to find fresh things to play, but forgot that playing these things still needs someone to accompany him, now it's good, with the introduction of rugby, Jiang Bin will definitely seize the opportunity, play rugby today, play billiards tomorrow, and badminton the day after tomorrow, so the relationship between Jiang Bin and Zhengde will only become closer.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong could only sigh helplessly, the so-called "lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot"

, It is estimated that this is the feeling he has now, and all the things have been offered, especially a few of them that he is not very good at, so there is no way to compete with Jiang Bin.

In desperation, Zhou Chong did not disturb Zhengde, and returned to the palace alone at the moment, and then told Jiao Fang about his mistake, hoping that he could give himself an idea, but Jiao Fang smiled after hearing it: "Why is Your Highness confused, why is it wrong for Jiang Bin to approach Your Majesty?" Li Dongyang They don't want to see this situation, but for His Highness, it is beneficial and harmless! ”

"Well, what do you mean......"

Zhou Chong's words hadn't finished asking, but his face suddenly changed greatly, because he had already understood what Jiao Fang meant, but this idea was too amazing, making him a little unbelievable.

"Hehe, Jiang Bin, this martial artist, is bent on encouraging His Majesty to go to Xuanfu, and His Majesty has always wanted to go to the battlefield in person, it just so happens that Xuanfu often fights with the grassland life, if His Majesty encounters the grassland people going south, he will definitely not let go of an opportunity, but the battlefield is changing, no one dares to guarantee His Majesty's safety, in case His Majesty encounters any accidents, then ...... Hey hey ......"

Although Jiao Fang's words are a bit heart-wrenching, they are also true, in case Zhengde really goes to Xuanfu and encounters an accident, then it will be a great joy for Zhou Chong, because the whole world will be his.

"No way!"

In the face of the temptation of the whole world, although Zhou Chong's face showed a little struggle, he finally refused, "The brotherhood between the imperial brother and me is extremely deep, and since I met the imperial brother, the imperial brother has also taken more care and trust in me, so Jiao Ge will definitely not be able to say these words without a king and a father in the future!" ”

Everyone likes power, even if Zhou Chong, who didn't like to be an official before, after serving as the governor for a few years, he also deeply realized the temptation of power, and the most powerful in the world is naturally the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, which also has a great attraction for Zhou Chong, but although Zhengde is absurd, he really treats himself as a brother, and Zhou Chong is not a merciless person, so he will never send Zhengde into danger because of a mere throne!

Seeing that Zhou Chong rejected his proposal, and it definitely didn't look like acting, Jiao Fang couldn't help but be stunned, through getting along in the past few years, he had already made himself Zhou Chong's confidant and strategist, so he said the above rebellious words, and he also felt that Zhou Chong should not refuse, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

"Your Highness......"

Jiao Fang was still a little unwilling, and just wanted to say something more, but unfortunately he was interrupted by Zhou Chong: "Okay, there is no need to mention this matter again, Jiao Ge had better rot all today's words in his stomach, otherwise it will be spread in the future, I'm afraid it will not be good for you!" ”

Seeing that Zhou Zhongxin had made up his mind, Jiao Fang had no choice but to sigh helplessly and said: "Your Highness and Your Majesty have a deep brotherhood, and the old man was a little vain just now!" ”

Zhou Zhong knew that although Jiao Fang's previous words were selfish, in general, he was also thinking about himself, so he didn't pursue this matter too much, but continued the question just now, hoping that Jiao Fang could give a way to suppress Jiang Bin.

Regarding Zhou Chong's question, Jiao Fang thought about it for a while, and finally smiled and said: "Your Highness, it was the old man who was selfish before, so I watched His Highness compete with Jiang Bin with his own shortcomings, but this is not bad for His Highness, at least it can deepen His Majesty's brotherhood for His Highness, and His Highness wants to suppress Jiang Bin, it will be much simpler, not to mention anything else, you have a sharp weapon to suppress Jiang Bin in your hand, it depends on whether Your Highness is willing to use it?" ”

"Oh? What weapon? ”

Zhou Chong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked eagerly.

"His Royal Highness is now supervising the military academy, and if I remember correctly, the first batch of generals in the military academy have been trained, and they should have been arranged into the army a long time ago, but because Jiang Bin interfered in the military academy before, this was delayed, but now that the military academy has restored its original order, then these people will also be arranged into the army. If the first batch of cadets from the military academy can be arranged into the border army as middle and lower-level generals, in this way, hehe......"

When Jiao Fang said at the end, his smile also became very sinister, and Zhou Chong also applauded loudly when he heard this, in addition to the favor of Zhengde, the most important thing that Jiang Bin relied on was the 40,000 border troops who were transferred to the capital, and now if the cadets of the military academy were arranged into the border army, it would be equivalent to fundamentally cutting off Jiang Bin's control over the border army.
