Hearing this, Li Chen could feel their hearts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Su Xiaoxiao's proposal is actually not new, and Datang also has a women's polo team. He knew this, as evidenced by some records and the frescoes in the tombs.

But. Chao was a little hesitant, she also wanted to play polo, be active, and stay in shape. Datang women advocate plump beauty, but plump is not equal to obesity...,

'Yes, yes. Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were shining and staring at Li Chen. Li Chen thought for a while, nodded and agreed, Su Xiao jumped a little, and didn't watch the ball game, and directly discussed which hall should be used as his training ground.

In the whole Daming Palace, there are several such courts. In the history books, you can see which palace emperor played in which palace.

For example, the Zhonghe Hall where Li Chen now lives is just one outside. Not far from the Zhonghe Palace, there is another dragon head hall, and there is another one here. Each one is guaranteed to be absolutely smooth. Don't say that the emperor may come here to play on a whim one day, and even if the local court is not well prepared, it will attract attention.

Even, don't talk about Daming Palace. It is recorded that during the Xianzong period, he once called Zhao Zongru, who served as the prime minister, and asked him about the grass growing on the polo field when he was the envoy of the Jingnan Festival.

It's no wonder that polo fields are so valued. The emperor likes it. Among the more than a dozen emperors of the Tang Dynasty, more than half of the emperors like polo and play well. Don't talk about others, Li Chen is also one of the best. Of course, it was the original Li Chen. Crossing Li Chen was not the slightest impression.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought that he would simply have fun. If you want to raise Taoguang, you can raise it to the end, let your Feizi also form a polo team, and you can play with them when you are idle.

Well, that's it. I have never played polo at all, although I know it in my original body, and my body memory is still there. But after all, I haven't touched it for many years, so being unfamiliar is a must. It just so happens that playing with his concubines can learn polo skills by the way, and by the way, he can use this to cover up his rustiness and slowly recover his body's memory.

It doesn't matter if the equipment is a short Dian horse. Short but flexible. The high-headed horses from the Western Regions on the field are high in price and relatively wild. Horses are shorter and safer, have long stamina, and can play for a longer time.

Like now, both sides are suspended. Polo is sometimes annoying to this, with frequent pauses and frequent horse changes. Raising a polo team is not simple, and you need several horses. This kind of Western Regions good horse, tall and strong, can carry weights, and has a good speed, the problem is poor endurance. Therefore, in a race, it is necessary to change horses frequently, otherwise the horses will be tired and sick if they are not tired to death.

But changing horses frequently is definitely a big burden for a polo team. It's not just about raising horses, horses also need to work with their riders, so they need to be trained for a long time. Therefore, a rider needs several horses to cooperate. And a lot of horses.

Even so, it won't be long before a horse is replaced. Those who don't know how to take care of their horses, as short as one or two years, and a little longer as three or four years, the stable is unusable and must be retired.

In this way, those who are short and small, through the tea and horse trade, and the southwest ethnic minorities in exchange for horses, it is very good. High stamina, less horse changes, and less food, you can be casual. And this kind of horse should be more suitable for women to ride.

'Ah, dismounted, dismounted. At this time, there was a shock cry from the field, and there were all kinds of exclamations, screams, and excited cries in the audience, because a black team player in the game accidentally fell off the horse.

The bystanders hurriedly called a stop, and this kind of game was not won by the referee. Polo is so intense, after all, it was originally used as a training cavalry, light cavalry for the purpose, vigorously promoted, and what referees were set up.

The players split on either side and soon someone helped the injured man down and the game resumed. But at this time, the black team was missing one person. Is the game suspended? Do I need to add someone? After the black team members have negotiated, the game continues.

Well, the black team can't add people because of a foul, a player is sent off, or because of an injury. But that's the case with polo matches, where there is no rule that both teams must have the same number of people. There is an upper limit to the number of people, but there is no lower limit, and you can break through alone if you have the ability.

After all, polo is a very cooperative activity, and if you have a lot of people but don't use them to get in the way of each other, it's better to have fewer people. Besides, once again, this is used to train light cavalry, and no one cares about your lack of people on the battlefield, and it is unfair to fight.

As soon as the drums sounded, the game continued. Although the black team had one less person, the offensive did not slow down, and even became more aggressive. They worked very well with each other, and soon scored another goal, and the score, black:green, 12:8.

'Polo is dangerous, so let's play it differently.' The injured player just now, and then reminded people that polo is very dangerous to move, and Xiao Hongxin said with palpitations, "Let's play step by step." ’

Foot-hitting? Li Chen slightly recalled what Buda was. It turned out to be something similar to hockey. Polo stopped riding, instead used walking, the same as sticks.

After all, horses are very expensive things, and the danger is high, so they are changed to fight on foot, and they are safe to be horses? In Li Chen's memory, he carefully recalled that he had seen step beating at the beginning. The people who play are all palace maids, and occasionally I have seen men come to fight, but there are quite few, and they all regard the step beating as a woman playing.

It seems that every year during the Winter Food Festival, the Shaofu Supervisor will organize an entertainment activity called "Sacrifice Ball". Among them are all kinds of ball games, kicking, hitting and kicking.

Prejudice, Li Chen thought so, and interjected, "Step by step, step by step is less dangerous." ''Don't, just polo.'' Su Xiaoxiao began to hang the oil bottle, "If people don't play any moves, they want polo." ’

'Why don't you bow to the donkey?' Yang Er interjected, making an intermediate argument. Donkey bow, that is, do not ride a horse and ride a donkey. Although the donkey is slow, it has a gentle temperament and more stamina, and the weight bearing is not as good as that of horses, but it is resistant to rough feeding, which is very suitable for women to play.

'Just donkey.' Otherwise, I'll find some Dian horses. The head was short, and it was about the same as a donkey. Li Chen spoke, he must oppose playing polo, you need to know that people have messy hooves, and horses have wrong hands. If something happens, it's time for him to be sad. No, it's wrong, it's the people who have the wrong hands, and the horses that have the hooves. 'Okay, just Dian Ma. Su Xiaoxiao is happy, and Dian Ma is also good.

When you're happy, you can continue watching the game. The game continued, the green team counterattacked by two points, and the black team seemed to lose its sharpness after the next point, or the green team adapted to the black team's style of play. The two sides were at a stalemate, and Li Chen's thoughts drifted into the distance.

Li Chen couldn't help but think that maybe he should also promote martial arts competition in the army? Hold a contest for the whole army, or let them have a grudge and a grudge to settle it.

These days, he's seen a lot of corners. I'm tired of watching it, change the taste, and add the proposal, so the polo will be held.

Polo was initially strongly promoted for military purposes. This method is similar to his. However, after all, polo is not a popular sport, horses are expensive, difficult to raise, and consumed, so they are not affordable for ordinary people at all. It's the same with the army, there aren't so many horses for everyone to ride.

So he promoted the promotion of football instead. This way everyone can play. The effect is also the same. It's just that in the era of cold weapons, even if more attention is paid to teamwork, martial arts are still indispensable. Even in the modern army, you have to know some fighting skills.

Football doesn't have a way to train martial arts. Or do you need a corner. Yes, that's how it should be. This is more conducive to the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness. On the one hand, football is used to train tactics and teamwork, and on the other hand, combat competition is used to improve the combat power of soldiers.

Oh, that's not right. I'm afraid this will only cause some soldiers with martial arts to be strong. This is nothing, there is a big more stimulus, promotions and rewards, which can stimulate people with a heart and constantly exercise martial arts, but it has no effect on ordinary sergeants. It doesn't happen for the purpose of edutainment.

Like football, it is simple to play, and as a game, many people will participate in it, which has the effect of independent training. Competition, can't reach....after all, there are only a few champions and promotions to make a fortune.

By the way, Li Chen high-fived, American football, rugby. This kind of sport is savage, although very brutal, very brutal. But it seems to be more suitable for the army in the era of cold weapons. More teamwork than football, it is common to see the duo forming a group and grabbing the ball on the rugby field.

More savage than football, you can wear armor and rush the field. There are also back-to-back raids, raiding enemy flanks and rear. It is perfectly suitable for the army in the era of cold weapons.

Li Chen became excited, he should have prepared for American football a long time ago, but it was not too late. It can be changed completely. 'Sit down, you're in my way.' Li Chen stood up excitedly, and found that he had blocked the sight of several women behind him, so he hurriedly sat down and put his mind back to the playing field.

However, after a while, my mind drifted away again, but this time it was related to polo. Li Chen, who complained about his nature, felt that this polo field was too troublesome and unprofitable.

How can there be a stage on one side for the audience to enjoy? It should be like a stadium, with platforms on all sides, so that you can collect tickets and sell them for money.

Polo should also be promoted, although the need is enormous, but it is related to the training of light cavalry, and it cannot be relaxed. He should be made into a crowd in which the whole people can fully participate.

Yes, first of all, get the major polo fields, don't watch them with some dignitaries like today. Should be on the takeaway tickets. After deducting expenses, the income is given to the participating teams as a subsidy.

There are even more industries, such as horse newspapers... When the whole people participate, the attention increases, and they can sell newspapers with similar forecasts. In addition, there are many, for example, gambling plates, when you become the emperor, you open your own bank, meow, you didn't dare before, now you see who dares to find trouble after you open your own bank.

Far from it, he is not trying to make money for himself, and this money can also be used to supplement the polo team. In this way, Datang polo will be more prosperous, hehe, these are all soldiers.

Besides... Li Chen set his sights on the court... (To be continued.) )
