The hype for baseball began before the Billiards Masters ended. Therefore, for the people of the capital, especially those who are so lively, they have long been looking forward to baseball.

In fact, as far as Xie Hong knows, even without these hypes and billiards, as long as there is the image spokesperson of Zhengde, the implementation of baseball can be guaranteed.

The mystery and majesty of the royal family brings endless charm, especially when used in shopping malls.

In later generations, many brands like to name their products with royal and supreme, as if as long as they add these two words, they can improve the grade, and before this trick is overused, it is indeed possible to achieve the corresponding effect.

In the Ming Dynasty, the name of the royal family, except for Zhengde, no one can emulate, and the royal is not as simple as a false name, but a genuine royal thing, from which it can be inferred how popular the second royal sport will be.

Today, the intelligence system, codenamed Midnight, is working smoothly, and all kinds of information are coming together like a tidal wave, from rumors in the market to whispers from adults at home.

And Chunli, the person in charge, did not live up to Xie Hong's trust and expectations, she put out the greatest enthusiasm to work, classified these intelligences, summarized them together, and even attached a part of her own analysis, so that Xie Hong, who finally got the information, saved a lot of effort, and made decisions more effortlessly.

Therefore, this time the hype is also more targeted at the surname than before, and the truth of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent to win all battles is suitable no matter what kind of battlefield it is used on. In this way, although this time there is no publicity effect of Wang Yue's invasion of the palace, the final result is not inferior to the billiards time.

As a result, with the premiere of the Royal Park, baseball soon became popular in the capital, and the attention it attracted soon surpassed billiards, or rather, people's attention on billiards was shifted to baseball.

Compared with billiards, the popularity of baseball is stronger, only a bat and a ball can be used, if there are conditions, buy a glove, with some protective gear is enough, the requirements for hardware are much lower than billiards.

Although there was no rumor at the beginning, with the precedent of billiards, most people had the idea that playing baseball could also become a way to advancement.

After all, in the billiards competition, there is already such a lucky person, the final winner, not only won the reward and fame, but also got the origin given by the emperor, Jinyi Wei Qianhu! And before that, that person was just a flat-headed commoner, although he couldn't compare to the title of the gold list of readers, but this could be regarded as a carp jumping over the dragon gate!

Besides, how can playing billiards be the same as the difficulty of reading Bible history? In addition, there are spectators watching the billiards competition throughout the whole process, the process is completely transparent and fair, and when the rewards are cashed out afterwards, they are completely unadulterated, and there are even unexpected surprises, how can people not yearn for it?

Like it and don't like it, countless people flock to the Royal Park for advice, in order to master the relevant skills as soon as possible, and then show their skills in the foreseeable future and gain the favor of the emperor.

In addition, the baseball equipment sold by Jumbo Zhai has also become the target of people's frenzied purchases.

Different from billiards equipment, the baseball equipment sold by Zhenbao Zhai this time is relatively cheaper, which is in line with the purchasing power of most people in Beijing. In addition, with the experience of billiards, few people will be greedy to copy the things of Zhenbao Zhai, which is called piracy and infringement! It's not fun to be approached by the Rights Protection Division.

In such a warm trend, Zhenbao Zhai, or the emperor, did not disappoint everyone, and soon, the long-awaited baseball tournament was released.

This baseball tournament named by the emperor, sponsored by Jumbo Zhai, and hosted by Houdefang, is called the Baseball Major League, and the final interpretation right is held by Jumbo Zhai.

Different from the single-round robin elimination of the billiards masters, the baseball competition adopts a league system, according to the explanation given by Jumbo Zhai, the entire league includes forty-eight teams, each season is as long as half a year, each team needs to go through dozens of games, and then according to the cumulative score, decide whether to participate in the playoffs.

These new words are very confusing, but it doesn't matter, Houde Fang has set up a special baseball service station, in addition to the relevant personnel to give relevant explanations, but also the function of guiding the formation of the team.

There are many requirements for forming a team, in addition to the net worth of the organizer, the most important thing is the organizational ability, although it has just been formed, and the players involved are all teenagers, but after all, it is a professional league, it can be expected that the standard will be very high, and it is not possible without professional players.

Therefore, the organizers put forward requirements for the financial strength of the participants, in addition to the special personnel to examine the financial strength of the team builders, and also attached a large amount of deposits.

It is a new thing, and there are these related requirements, many people are hesitant, and everything else is easy to say, but when it comes to silver, who can not be cautious?

After getting the news, many people who are hostile to Zhenbao Zhai are very happy, and they all feel that Zhenbao Zhai may be going to make a mistake this time, and it is the team members who play with the emperor who are participating in the competition, and the organizers can't get any benefits, who will be stupid to send money to the door?

But to their disappointment, this wait-and-see did not last long, and the transition from hesitation to popularity was completed in a short period of time.

Jumbo Zhai and the emperor and Hou Defang are one, and they are the initiators, although they immediately formed a team and occupied three places, and a group of merchants led by Lichun Yuan actually followed the trend immediately, and before the people who were waiting to see what was going on, the forty-eight places were already gone more than thirty, and there were only a dozen places left.

Whether something is good or not depends on whether someone grabs it.

Seeing such a situation, no matter how hesitant people can not be calm, the past experience tells them: anyone who follows behind the treasure house, the earlier and tighter the follow, the greater the benefit, if you don't believe it, the original agents of Lichun Yuan and Zhen Bao Zhai are proof.

Those agents were originally just small merchants, whether they were in the capital or in their hometown, they had no status, but now they are all shaking, there is more money, and their status is naturally high. Although there is no power, if anyone wants to use power to bully these people, he has to ask Zhenbao Zhai and Nanzhen Fusixian.

Needless to say, what the original situation of Lichun Temple was, many people know, and it is very appropriate to describe it as a mountain and river. But now? It has regained the position of the first floor of the capital, and the gold content is much higher than the original first floor, not only in the Qinglou industry, but even the gambling industry is monopolized, which is worthy of the name of the number one entertainment venue in Beijing.

Because of this, in the matter of forming a team, no one has doubts about the Lichun Yuan and other merchants, and the businessmen are profit-seeking, and naturally whoever can bring them benefits will follow, and this truth is applicable everywhere.

After figuring out the reason, the remaining dozen or so spots were quickly swept away, or dozens, or hundreds or even more, and forty-eight baseball teams were quickly formed.

It's not that there are no weird places, but no one really notices them, that is, most of the members of the first team formed are from the same place, and they are quite familiar with each other. If you listen carefully to the accents, almost all of these people are from the Xuan Mansion.

In the past, such an abnormal situation would not have been let go by the spies from all walks of life, but now, even if they noticed it, they didn't pay much attention to it.

The capital is the city where the Son of Heaven lives, the center of the world, leading the direction of the Ming Dynasty.

Before the first year of Zhengde, this trend was mainly the academic trend of Confucianism, mixed with the popular trend of a small amount of clothing, food, housing and transportation. But after Zhengde and Xie Hong set off a series of waves, the wind blowing outward from the center of the capital also deflected.

Not only in the vicinity of Gyeonggi, but also in distant places like Namzhili, new things such as Jumbo Jaeong and billiards are also well-known. In particular, the popularity of the billiards masters has attracted many people to work tirelessly and travel long distances to the capital.

Just like the scholars who came to catch the exam, the purpose is actually similar, all to get ahead and get a background. It's just that one is the right path of the imperial examination; One is the road of rigoletto to play and sparring.

These people came to the capital, some caught up with the billiards game, some didn't catch up, didn't achieve their goal, most of them didn't give up, and many stayed in the capital waiting for the opportunity. Because there are a lot of such people, the people of Beijing call them 'Beipiao', which generally refers to young people who are adrift in the capital and waiting for opportunities.

The emergence of the Major League Baseball is like timely rain for Zhongbeipiao, and many people are ecstatic after hearing the news. Before the opportunity came, most of the lives of the North Drifters were extremely difficult, and a few of the better ones were just barely surviving.

As a result, there were long queues at the door of the various teams to be formed, and most of them were outsiders who came to look for opportunities. In the North Drift, many of them are neighbors and friends who come together, and in this case, the Xuanfu people are not very eye-catching.

As everyone knows, Xuanfu has many poor military households and is close to the capital, so of course they will not let go of such a good opportunity, and it is not strange that there are more people coming to Beijing.

As for how these people got the road guide and how they passed the pass, that's fine, who doesn't know the rules in the yamen? As long as you are willing to spend money, who can be stumped by the small road guide? There's always a way.

What's more, the series of actions of Jumbo Zhai are dazzling, even the most shrewd spies can't fully understand it for a while, let alone explore the mysteries.

Especially after the regulations of the competition venue came out, it attracted everyone's attention, except for the Royal Park, the emperor generously took out the West Garden of the Imperial City. The oracle said: The playoffs and other major games will be held in the West Garden, and when the game is announced, the West Garden will be open to the public, and spectators can enter with tickets to watch the game.

As soon as this news was released, it was shocking again. Although it is not an inner city, Xiyuan is also a part of the imperial city, and entering Xiyuan is entering the imperial city, which is simply unimaginable for ordinary people.

You must know that the rules of the capital are very big, even if you wander outside the imperial city and look at it for a long time, you may be arrested as a criminal annihilator, let alone enter the imperial city in person?

Therefore, although the name of the baseball stadium in Xiyuan is very inconspicuous, it cannot lower people's expectations and yearning in the slightest, especially the players of each team, everyone is practicing hard, looking forward to entering the playoffs, entering Xiyuan, showing their skills in front of the emperor, and becoming famous in one fell swoop.

So, in June of the first year of Zhengde, in this hot summer, the baseball league was in full swing when it was just formed...... In this regard, most of the people in the capital reported all kinds of fiery expectations, and a few people were either hateful, disdainful, or wary. But except for a few people, no one found out that all this was done to hide from the world.

Now, under the gaze of everyone, outside of consciousness, more than 3,000 children of Xuanfu military families have gathered in the capital, scattered among more than 30 teams, sweating every day, and gradually becoming stronger.
