Chapter 246: The Blossoming of the Keju Industry in Lingnan (3/5)

The former soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army lived a precarious life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info entered the army, I thought I was going to be cannon fodder. Who knew that he suddenly became the pillar of the family. Now all over Jiaozhou, the families of the soldiers have immigrated.

In terms of security needs, the current Southern Expeditionary Army is the actual ruler of Jiaozhou, no matter how much sand Emperor Ling and other wealthy families mix into it, Zhao Yun gives an order, and whoever resists will be turned into powder. Security was guaranteed, albeit as a team.

The people of Jiaozhou are both respectful and afraid of the soldiers, the days of being oppressed by the local tyrants and inferior gentry are gone, and today's happy life is fought by the Southern Expeditionary Army. Of course, people have money, and they are worried that one day they will be stabbed.

Regardless of Zhao Yun's orders, the tradition in China is that merchants are the ATMs of the powerful. If the wealthy family is easy to say, whoever dares to come and plunder their own goods will not hesitate to go back. But it is the common people who have money, and it is inevitable that they will be frightened.

As a result, soldiers have become a special group of people in Jiaozhou, and apart from their own families and the surrounding robes, there is no one to communicate with. People are not war machines, they are flesh and blood people, and they also need to socialize.

The circle is narrow, every day is a comrade-in-arms who looks up and doesn't look down, as the saying goes, tongues and teeth have to fight, not to mention a strong man from Tiannan and Haibei? Over time, fights are inevitable.

In other words, the soldiers have now made the leap from physiological needs to hazy respect needs.

Now that my buddy is rich, I can't eat enough food from my family's land for a few years. You have my family and you, who is afraid of whom?

In the other barracks, there is a sense of murder. Zhao Yun's army is full of friendship and harmony.

But a person has gone from nothing to today, achieving a three-and-a-half-step leap, and anyone will swell.

In Zhao Yun's previous life, the people of the Northeast were whole: "What do you see?" "What are you doing?" "The labor and management of the grass and mud horses will kill you!"

Such words can be seen everywhere in the barracks. The law does not hold the people accountable, so many people often fight back and forth, and some of them become closer and closer the more they fight, while others will naturally become estranged, and the cohesion of the army will decline, which will also affect the combat capability.

"Zilong, to be honest, can we release the sergeant's energy?" Xun Yu was worried: "In the long run, what has become of our Jiaozhou Army?" Before he could go into battle, he started fighting. ”

"Absolutely!" Tian Feng's eyes widened: "Lord, let the sergeants have something to do, in that case, they will not have the time and energy to fight at all." Alas, I've always been thinking about confinement and stuff, why didn't I think of this? ”

Seeing his excited appearance, Zhao Yun was a little amused. The confinement is still provided by him, after all, the soldiers make mistakes, and it is not interesting to beat the military stick, and it is much better to change to a more humane confinement.

"Oh?" To tell the truth, he is a halfway monk in the army, and he is no better than the two: "Yuan Hao, Fifth Brother, you all come to sum up and find a beneficial activity to enhance the feelings of the soldiers and keep them from fighting." ”

"How's Kemari?" Tian Feng was older, and he immediately thought of a solution.

Xun Yuruo glanced at it meaningfully, thinking that the other party was a nerd, reading from the book, but he didn't expect that there would be a time to be flexible. In that case, in the future, there may be interests involved with myself on my brother-in-law's side, so I have to be careful.

Keju, also known as "Juju", "Keqiu", "Juyuan", "Zhuqiu", "Kicking Round", etc., "Keju" has the meaning of kicking, kicking, kicking, "Ju" was the earliest ball with leather and rice bran.

As early as the Warring States Period, the Chinese folk popular entertaining game of Keju, and since the Han Dynasty, it has become a method of military training.

The "bow" used in Keju can be traced back to the stone ball. Zhao Zilong, who majored in archaeology in his previous life, knew that a lot of Dingcun cultural sites were found about 100,000 years ago, and a large number of Xujiayao cultural sites 40,000 years ago appeared.

The stone ball was the earliest hunting tool, and in the later period of primitive society, there were stone balls kicked with feet and hollow pottery balls.

It is said that Keju began with the Yellow Emperor and began to be used for military training. Ju is made of leather in a round shape and filled with hair. The Warring States Silk Book has a record that after the Yellow Emperor killed Chiyou, "filling his stomach with a bow, making people cling, and rewarding those who are more".

The term Keju was first used in the Historical Records? Bian Que Cang Gong Lie Biography", the book records: In the Western Han Dynasty, as the "Anling Hanli Gongcheng" Xiang Zhi, because of the obsession with "Keju", although he was seriously ill, he still did not follow the doctor's instructions to continue to go out to Keju, and died as a result.

Subsequently, the word Keju appeared several times in the Book of Han. However, the Warring States before the Han Dynasty called ancient football "Tsuju".

The life of the people of Linzi, the capital of Qi State, said: "There are 70,000 households in Linzi...... He is very rich and real, and his people are all flutes, drums, beating, playing harps, cockfights, dogs, six bo, and bows. ”

In Linzi, which has become wealthy, the citizens have many cultural and sports activities, including blowing, beating, plucked musical instruments, cockfighting, dog racing, chess and kicking. During the Warring States Period, Linzi, the capital of Qi State, Keju has developed into a popular form of entertainment among the people.

When it came to Dahan, Keju developed rapidly.

After all, this industry has a long heritage, and it has been inherited in the entertainment kemari. There is a description of "galloping through the village, stepping on the bow in the poor alley", "taking the bow and horse as the business, and the family taking the bow as the learning".

Since it was entertainment, there was a performative keju. This is a performance of ball control skills with feet, knees, shoulders, and head to the accompaniment of drum music.

The Keju performances that Zhao Yun learned about include single juju, single juju, and double drumming while juju; There are technical movements such as kicking, knee topping, flying with both legs, stopping bowing with one foot, and jumping up and hooking.

Some people even call it "Keju Dance", which is an important program in the hundred operas.

At the same time, there was a competitive kemari, which was often held between the families. The Zhao family has a shallow foundation and does not have it yet.

This kind of Keju is generally equipped with a bow field, the bow field is rectangular, generally east-west, with a large hall that sits in the south and faces the north for viewing, and there is a wall around it, which is called "Ju Castle".

"The round bow square wall is like yin and yang. Fa Yue Chong right, two six equal. Build a long and flat, and its examples are common: no intimacy, no selfishness; Be calm and don't complain. Ju Zheng is still the same, and it is up to him to take the plane! ”

Of course, Kemari has already begun to be used for military training.

"Bow, the strength of the troops. Therefore, when practicing samurai, knowing and talented, they all practice because of playfulness."

In addition to symbolizing "military strength" and training samurai, Kemari was also used to enrich the life of the army and keep the warriors physically and emotionally good. "If the army has nothing to do, we will make a bow" is a reflection of the latter.

The predecessor Ban Gu included ancient football in the category of military skills, and said: "The winner of attack and defense is also." ”

As for the name Keju, Zhao Yun thinks it's pretty good, and there is no need to change it to football.

Of course, as a time-traveler, he added some rules he had learned in his previous life or something.

As for the sponsors, the families who are now in Jiaozhou, whether they are from Zhending, Jingzhou, or Yangzhou, each of them has made a lot of money. can use this to consolidate the relationship with the Southern Expeditionary Army, I believe that no one refuses.

None of the three of them are procrastinating personalities, and they do it when they think of it. In less than ten days, the entire Jiaozhou people were discussing Keju.

Specific to the troops, with the captain as the unit, each captain must organize a juju team to participate in the selection competition of the general, and finally go to Zhao Yun to decide the winner.

When the time comes, the students of Hongdu Gate School will open their brains, after all, they will also participate.

At this point, the soldier's fight incident can be regarded as a complete end. Although it could not eradicate the fights in the barracks, it also instilled collective honor. It is believed that after this, the cohesion of the Southern Expeditionary Army will reach a new level. (To be continued.) )
