"The influence of this guy is really great, and judging by the appearance, these young scholars were also moved by his private report."

Although Wu Sangui has full confidence in himself, he can't help but be taken aback when he sees the people who have entered the ball market.

There are thousands of people gathered here, not to mention thousands, although compared to this venue, the number of people is not much, but Wu Sangui clearly saw that from the streets and alleys of Jinling City, people continue to gather here, like water from the stream into the Yangtze River, so that the originally somewhat empty ball market gradually plumped. Even those merchants and merchants who were doing small business also gathered on the flat ground outside the ball market with their burdens, and the sound of cheering and laughing was endless.

"It's the boss's funeral, the little general, the south is prosperous, it's like our pimple, and you can't see a single figure after walking through thousands of mountains and rivers."

The companion was also infected by the lively atmosphere around him, and said loudly in his ear.

"Shh Wu Sangui glared at him, thanks to Yu Guozhen's "People's Livelihood Express", he is now also a celebrity in Nanjing, if he hears the word "little general" to others, he will be recognized immediately.

According to the "Minsheng Express", at 3 o'clock in the afternoon Western time, there was a ball game in this ball market, and it was almost at this time. Soon Wu Sangui heard a cheer, and then saw two teams of men walking out of the court, they were both dressed in big shorts and short backs, and they were equipped with protective gear at the knees, elbows, and ankles. The two sides were dressed in red on one side and indigo on the other, and as soon as they entered, three men in short black clothes came up, two of them holding a flag in their hands.

At this time, Wu Sangui noticed that the traces of lime were painted in the center of the venue, the center was a circle, and the door frames with fishing nets at both ends were two boxes each, and the periphery of the venue was also separated by white lines.

"It's really different from ordinary football......"

Everyone was talking, and Wu Sangui heard the two scholars next to him talking.

"The eleventh brother also likes to play sumo wrestling, and today he can make a good evaluation, how is this new football game and our usual kicking!" The way that is a little older.

"Brother A deals with those drawings of the Ministry of Engineering every day, and he also likes to watch football?"

"I have to pass the time, the old courtyard opposite the Gongyuan is not a place I can go to often, and the salary is too low."

Hearing their conversation, it turned out that he was still a petty official of the Ministry of Works, Wu Sangui remained silent, but moved to the side.

"If you are too low, you can seek a foreign appointment, here in Nanjing, and it is the cold yamen of the Ministry of Industry, what else do you want?"

"How can it be so easy to ...... outside"

"You have been a Jinshi for four years, as long as you have a heart, I am afraid that there will be no foreign ......"

"It turned out to be a jinshi, but he was in the Nanjing Ministry of Industry." Wu Sangui was a little surprised.

As they spoke, a shrill whistle blew, and the two men began to talk about the game on the court. Seeing that the two sides were fighting for the ball, you broke through and I blocked, and the fight was very fierce, and from time to time someone fell to the ground, and the one known as the eleventh brother said: "Hey, this is much more bloody than the ball we watched...... It seems to be in line with the art of war! ”

"Oh?"

"The one who can catch the ball with his hands at the goal is the old camp and the roller is heavy, and if it is broken by the enemy, it will lose for a while. The one who guarded it before was the guard, and he had to pay full attention to it and not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. The forward dispatch and command is the commander's personal guard, which must be passed and ordered, and if necessary, must be pressed to attack. The first is of course the striker, attacking the city and pulling out the ......"

Hearing the sound of this book talking on paper, Wu Sangui was somewhat disdainful, except for the art of this ball game, which is indeed secretly in line with the art of war, the rest is nonsense. Yue Wumu had already said that the water impermanence was impermanent and the soldiers were impermanent, and everyone was fixed in their own area to operate like this, where was the clever art of war!

Just thinking about it, I saw one of the people in the blue team in the field, hooking the ball and starting to run forward, he was extremely flexible, his body swayed left and right, and the connection deceived the three people in red, and then obliquely inserted into the large frame range in front of the opponent's goal, Wu Sangui remembered that in the "People's Livelihood Express" called this range "big forbidden area" and then the opponent's guard of the gate had to highlight the interception, but was shaken down by the person with another feint, and then kicked the ball into the goal with a light kick.

The ball was rolling in the net, and there were people around who didn't know how to play at all, and at this time they also knew that they had won a beautiful game, and immediately cheered and cheered.

The scorer was none other than Luo Jiuhe. He picked his chest with his thumb, smiled smugly at his opponent, and then picked up the ball and put it back on the court.

"After a goal is scored, the losing side restarts the ball in midfield."

Wu Sangui thought about this rule in his heart, and sneered in his heart, not letting the winner chase after the victory, but restarting the ball by the loser, which was inconsistent with the time of the battle.

The two sides fought again, but this time after the red-clothed side fell twice, he suddenly made a big kick, and the ball flew directly in front of the opponent's goal. The ball originally seemed meaningless, but at this moment, a tall figure suddenly ran, he was near the backfield, and then suddenly accelerated, directly from the defender's position, rushed to the striker's position.

Seeing this scene, Wu Sangui couldn't help but hold his breath!

The shouts around them rang out, cheering, exclaiming, and shouting purely for venting, mixed together, almost lifting the sky. The tall figure rushed directly in front of the old camp of the opponent's Chinese army, and then jumped high, hit a fierce head hammer, and with a bang, the ball was pierced into the net!

The original cheers instantly rose again, this curtain made Wu Sangui can't help but feel his blood boiling, and the sound of the two conversations was also jumping and shouting like a crowd of small people at this time, where is there still a little bit of Sven!

"Good, good, good kick!"

"Dog thief, I lost Lao Tzu!"

Hearing all kinds of voices, and even the scolding of gamblers, in addition, copper coins were also thrown into the field like rain, Wu Sangui felt a little incredible, this kind of new football, before and after Jinling City, only appeared for more than ten days, how did it cause such a momentum!

However, this new style of football does have its merits, at least bring it back to the Guanning army, so that those men in the army who have excess energy will not always know about gambling.

As soon as he thought of this, Wu Sangui felt that the kid surnamed Yu was not completely innocent...... But he insulted his father, and if he had the opportunity, he would have to hold him in his hands and toss him to death before he let out a bad breath.

"Brother Mingjia, you look like this, but you insult the dignity of the imperial court!" After exhaling for a while, Wang Haoran looked at the square on his brother's head and looked crooked, pointed at him and laughed.

"Don't talk about me, you are the county lord and guest of honor when you look in the mirror before saying that you are not only the face of the scholar, but also the royal face!"

Seeing that Wang Haoran's resentment that had been on his brow for a long time had faded by half at this time, Wang Chuanyu was very happy. This game, not in vain, at least cheered up his brother again.

"Haha, when I go back to Chengdu Mansion, I will also form a team like this in the morning...... However, with my family wealth, I may not be able to afford it, and even if I can afford it, there is no team in Chengdu Mansion that can play against me......"

"With the talent of the eleventh brother, if you concentrate on making money, are you afraid that you can't afford to support a team? If no one fights against you, you can raise two of them, and let them fight on their own! ”

The ball game ended in a commotion, Yu Guozhen wanted to open the Nanjing atmosphere first, as long as the sky is beautiful, there is a game every day, but the manpower is limited, so the game is only half a game, and the time is only half an hour. As soon as this side is over, the audience is still unsatisfied, and someone wants to go on the field in person, gather the number of people, make a ball, and kick it randomly.

Wu Sangui came out of the audience, and he was surprised to find that the number of people who came to watch the game was nearly 10,000.

"It's a good idea to fight this game, use this ball game to gather popularity, and then come to advocate the Qin Huai Ba you ...... he commented."

Wu Sangui was a little worried at this time, Yu Guozhen's momentum was already not small, and the two sides commented on the bet, he was really likely to lose.

Back at his residence, Liu Jiren had been waiting for him for a long time, and the news he brought was also not good: "Uncle Shi, I asked a few printing bureaus, and they all said that in less than 20 days, if you want to print so many private newspapers like Yu Xiaopu, the only way is to print copper movable type!" ”

"It's just spending more money, so the two of you are still afraid?" Wu Sanlin is still full of confidence on the outside.

But five days later, when he saw the private message, he was furious.

"This is what we printed at the cost of thousands of taels of silver? We spent a lot of money to print this kind of ...... Litter? ”

The paper in his hand cannot be regarded as garbage in any way, although it is not as famous as rice paper, but it is also the better paper that can be bought on the market today.

However, the blurred handwriting on it is not at all the same grade as the "Minsheng Express", which exudes handwriting with the smell of oil, but this is a ball of stinky ink!

It is no wonder that the copper movable type found in such a short period of time has naturally been used for a long time, so the printed handwriting is blurred, and the ink used is ordinary ink, not to mention the bad smell, and it is easy to appear dirty paper and sticky paper. Compared with the beautifully printed "People's Livelihood Express", the gap between the two is very obvious.

"Uncle Shi, I also asked, and they said...... If you want to be clearer, you can only be stereotyped, but the stereotype time is not enough ......."

Liu Jiren said dejectedly, although he also hoped that the hatred between Yu Guozhen and Wu Sangui would grow deeper and deeper, but he was also extremely unhappy when he lost to Yu Guozhen in this matter.

Wu Sangui cursed in a low voice, these printing bureaus are all time-honored brands, but they are not as good as Yu Guozhen as a layman!

"These ...... Can't send it out? Liu Jiren asked again.

"Naturally, if we don't, how can the people in Nanjing know what we're doing?" Wu Sangui thought for a while: "Send back to the hair, the iron must be hard in the end, now the name in Jinling City, have you contacted it?" ”

"This ......"

Speaking of this question, Liu Jiren only smiled bitterly.

Yu Guozhen made a huge noise, and the name of Jinling City hoped to be nominated by Yu Guozhen as a candidate to participate in the evaluation of Jinling Bayan, so although Liu Jiren spilled a lot of silver, it was rare to be really willing to fight for Wu Sangui's fame.

"That being the case...... Then I'll have to find another way. Wu Sangui sneered: "Jinling alone can't compare to Yangjiao, Suzhou and Hangzhou combined!" ”

"I'm afraid that the water is not as thirsty as it is near."

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to hold it before that." Wu Sangui smiled indifferently, but Liu Jiren's heart burst out with laughter.
