Chapter 15 Daqin Football

Football is a sport that has swept the world in later generations, and it is also recognized as an ancient sport that originated in China. Football has always been known as Keju in ancient China.

In 315 B.C., the reign of King Xuan of Qi was in the state of Qi, the capital city of Linzi, and Keju had become a very mature form of entertainment, especially in the folk of Qi was very popular, and then spread to the other six countries.

Originally, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, under the strong centralized power, the people were working for the infrastructure, and Keju was silent for a while.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang regarded Keju as a way to "govern the country and practice martial arts", which was not only widely practiced in the army, but also widely popular among the court nobles.

According to the Book of Han, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty often held "Chicken Ju Meeting" in the palace with cockfighting and juju competitions as the content, and the home of his favorite minister Dong Xian also specially raised "Juke" (similar to today's football stars) who could play football.

To the Tang Dynasty, it is suitable for both men and women, young and old, and there is even a special women's juju team. Then came polo.

By the Song Dynasty, Keju had gained great development in the Song Dynasty. The most famous is the Taiwei Gao Yu in the time of Song Huizong, just because he kicked the ball well, he was promoted to the commander of the palace, until the Tai Lieutenant.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there are still records about football. By the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang began to ban football in the army.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were very few records of football activities in historical books. The ancient Keju activities in our country have experienced thousands of years since the Warring States period, and in the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, they used to shine like comets; Later, when it was thrown into the water of Qing Dynasty society, only a little bubble was left, and it finally fell darkly.

Until later generations, football has always been an eternal pain in the hearts of all Chinese people.

……

There was originally a large wilderness after the barracks were built, but now this wilderness has been divided by various fences and transformed into more than 20 different sites, large and small.

Win Yi led Hu Hai and the others to a huge field fenced with a length of more than 500 paces each. The site was empty, except for two huge inverted triangular door frames on each side, covered with a layer of fishing nets.

Around the two door frames is a rectangular field with a length of 200 paces (about 120 meters) and a width of 150 paces (about 90 meters) outlined in black ink, and various lines are drawn in the field.

If someone in later generations sees it and can recognize it immediately, this is a standard simple football field.

Hu Hai took a ball handed over by Yingyi and before he could speak, Wang Qian and the others said in unison: "Juju? ”

"Oh? Keju? You know this? Hu Hai said in surprise.

"Back to Your Majesty, Keju was originally prevalent in the Qi Kingdom, and then the other six countries were all rumored, and the people of my Great Qin will do the same." Wang Qian bowed and said.

It turns out that football has been circulating in China so early. Hu Hai was surprised. He always thought that it was only in the Tang and Song dynasties that the term Keju began.

"Then you Aiqing will?" Hu Hai hurriedly asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, although the ministers and others have never bowed before, they have also seen the people bow." Wang Gandao.

"That's good, from now on, this keju will be changed to football. Win one will let you write down those juju, oh no, it's the rules of football to show them, and by the way, explain it to you Aiqing. Hu Hai made the final decision and pirated football.

Hu Hai was a football fanatic before he came, but as the birthplace of football, Huaxia, in later generations, football could not even rush out of Asia, let alone go to the world.

Chinese football, these four words, in the future generations are the eternal pain in the hearts of countless Chinese people!

Since such a huge population base can't make up a world-class team, then brother is two thousand years in advance, this is always okay, right?

If after 2,000 years, Chinese football is still not good, then it can only be said in four words.

Time is also fate!

Now Hu Hai asked Yingyi to explain the rules to these generals is exactly the set of rules on the green field that is completely copied from later generations, which can be said to be a good one.

After a while, more than 600 generals nodded their heads to indicate that they had figured it out.

"Really got it? Can you remember clearly? If you foul it, you have to be punished! Hu Hai asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have indeed remembered!" Wang Qian looked back at the left and right, and then bowed and said.

"Well, I will pick out ten of you, and add me, that is, eleven, and I will be the captain of this team; Wang Aiqing, you also pick ten people, you are the captain, come and compare with me! ”

Hu Hai said that he was about to take off his cloak and prepare to pick someone to play.

Hearing Hu Hai's words and seeing Hu Hai's movements, the more than 600 generals were suddenly a little dumbfounded. Wei Mi and Zhang Han, who had not spoken on the side, glanced at each other helplessly, and then Wei Mi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”

"Think twice? Wei Lao Aiqing, do I need to think twice about playing a ball? Hu Hai just wanted to get off the field and play happily at the moment, and he was a little puzzled when he heard Wei Yi's words.

Wei Yu couldn't help but froze when he heard Hu Hai's words, it was not that he had nothing to say, but he choked on Hu Hai's words.

"Your Majesty, this is a ...... Soccer balls will inevitably collide when kicking and running. If His Majesty is gone, then does Your Majesty think these generals will dare to play football boldly? How can Your Majesty know if they really know how to play football? Therefore, the old minister thought that His Majesty, as the person who made this rule, should still watch from the sidelines to be the overseer. Wei Yi said softly.

"This ......" Hu Hai hesitated, he really wanted to put on a show, although in later generations even in amateur football matches between some friends, he was mostly used as a bench player, but he believed that in Daqin, even the third-rate technology could make these generals look up to the mountains.

"Your Majesty, let the last general and others form a team to have a competition on their own, and dedicate it to Your Majesty to watch." Wang Qian stepped forward just right.

"Well, okay. Have a good look. The other team was chosen, and Du Teng was chosen as the captain. I'm saying it again, I don't want to see you fight among yourself anymore. Hu Hai reluctantly agreed, suppressing his idea of wanting to end up.

After all, what Wei Yu said is also right, if he is on the field, it is estimated that the ball will always be at his feet, and it is estimated that no one on the entire court will stop him from shooting.

If that's the case, it's better to watch the battle.

Wang Qian is the general of the forbidden army, and Du Teng is the general of the newly rising new army of prisoners.

Dun Miao told Hu Hai that this Du Teng was not only very prestigious among the prisoners, but also very talented in fighting, so Hu Hai also paid attention to him. And just now in the tent, it was he who was the first to kneel down and show his loyalty.

Now Hu Hai has appointed him as the captain, just to see if he really understands what he means when he is in time, and to investigate it again.
