——
Pyongyang people like to play chess, throw pots, and bow down.
Wenhua opened up three fields, one indoors, mainly for the eunuchs, wealthy families, and scholars, and organized them to play chess. Pitchers and kemari are outdoors. The pitching field is smaller, and women can also participate. The venue of Keju is very large, and the primary and secondary school fields in the city are specially borrowed, and the people watching are crowded.
When they arrived, they were just in time for one side to kick a good goal, setting off a thunderous cheer in the field.
Wen Huaguo's eyes were sharp, and he saw Deng She and his party from a distance, and hurriedly came down from the front stand to greet him. Deng She watched with his eyes and saw that many of the provincial civil and military officials came, some sat in the stands, some did not take off their reckless temperament, and they did not wear official clothes, mixed in the crowd, shouting.
Around the school grounds, many tents have been erected, and the left and right sides are decorated with brocade, famous paintings, and colorful trees. Deng She walked past the front and saw that the women sitting inside were all women from rich official families, or wearing veils to cover their faces, and the bold ones only covered their faces with fans. When they saw Dunshe, some of them knew who he was, and bowed their heads shyly; I don't know who he is, so I look down and peek.
Wenhuaguo's family also came to see, and Deng She handed over Princess Goryeo and Luo Guannu to them, and went to the stands with Hong Jixun.
There are two teams in the field, and the dividends are black and red. Wen Huaguo introduced to Deng She that the red ones were all folk teenagers, and the black ones were composed of soldiers. His arrangement obviously has political implications, and it is also in response to Deng She's call, on the one hand, the military and the people are happy, and at the same time, it is conducive to national unity and integration.
"There are three races, two in the morning and one in the afternoon. After the end, there were selected cavalrymen from the army to perform horse shackles and horsemanship for the people. On the pitching pot, there are performances of archery and willow shooting. In addition to this game of Go, pot throwing, and juju, there are also dramas, small songs, storytelling and other activities, but they are not in this district, they are all in the east of the city. ”
Deng She was very satisfied, looked around, didn't see Yao Haogu, and asked, "What about Mr. Yao?" ”
"There was a post for him yesterday, Mr. Yao is good at playing chess, and he went to Yiguan."
"What's scheduled for tomorrow?"
"Yiguan was changed to cockfighting, Keju was changed to horse hammer, and pitching pots was changed to wrestling."
Horses have to have horses, which is considered high-level entertainment, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and those who have the ability to participate are well-dressed children. Goryeo customs, every Dragon Boat Festival will hold a large-scale horse competition, the king of Goryeo personally attended, the military attache young and well-dressed children can participate, outstanding skills, military attache position, called "Dragon Boat Festival election officer".
There is a reason for this.
The sport of horsemanship, riding on a horse, is very dangerous, you can't help but need to have courage, but also have to have superb riding skills, can win from it, all of them are the choice of the moment. Earlier, the reason why Deng She made it a fixed entertainment item in the army was that it could be entertaining and educational, which would help cultivate the atmosphere of being fierce and striving to be the first in the army and not showing weakness.
However, Deng She is not a Goryeo in the end, although he has seen the benefits of defeating, he is not very clear about the old system of Goryeo's "Dragon Boat Festival Election Officials", and when he heard Hong Jixun say it next to him, his heart moved.
Since we want to vigorously promote the fun of the military and the people, Hanli's family, then why not push the boat down the river and borrow this old Goryeo system? He thought for a moment and said, "It's good to shoot." Tomorrow, I will call Tong Shengyang and Lu Qianxi, and they will also come to take a look, and they can pick a few winning ones to be selected into the army and give them military positions below 100 households. The most outstanding one, give it to me, and choose it into my guard. ”
Wenhua has nothing to do.
Deng She touched the bypass, nodded in the field, and said: "In this Keju team, there are strong and skilled people on the wrestling field tomorrow, if they want, they can also be pulled into the infantry battalion and the archer battalion, and give the military rank of the tenth commander." ......, I will leave it to you to be responsible, and anyone who is willing to join the army will be given saffron, ride a high-headed horse, and pull it out to parade the streets, so that the people will know. It should be done with great fanfare. ”
Keju originated from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty people regarded it as the way of "governing the country and practicing martial arts", and it was widely carried out in the army. It can be seen that from the very beginning, Keju has had an inseparable relationship with the army, and it is not surprising that the outstanding ones are selected to serve in the army.
Wen Huaguo agreed. A few people got down to business and started watching the game.
But see: one of the red team on the field, hooked the ball and kicked the ball, made an upside-down golden hook, and the ball saw the merry eye that ran into the door. The black team's head jumped up to meet it, and the head hammer was pushed out, like a meteor, and a teammate had already caught it, and the knee touched, and the ball fell to the ground, dripping and turning twice.
The teammate looked over the lookout and saw Dunsher watching. At the moment, he doesn't go out of the ball first, he shows off his spirit, the ball does not leave his feet, and his feet do not leave the ball. Suddenly, a ball rolled round, went up to the shoulder, shrunk slightly, slipped back back, legs deep, and then gently picked it up, juggling the ball dozens of times, without landing at all. In this way, he was so interested that he played a good "white fight".
Deng She couldn't help but applaud: "Good! ”
The team member was encouraged, elated, and more and more out of the whole body ability, to a "wind pendulum lotus", playing with two hands of "Jade Buddha top beads", "shoulders back the moon" in front, "abduction meteor" followed. At the end of the day, he pulled out his feet and flew out, like shooting a long rainbow, like a comet through the sky, just over the door and crashing into the eye of the merry.
"Wow!"
The gongs and drums on the sidelines are noisy, and the prostitutes are singing and dancing.
If it is said that Ma Yu is the entertainment of well-dressed children, then most of the people who kick and bow are most of the evil teenagers on the street. Whether it is from the army or from the people, one by one is competitive, more fierce than bravery, you come and go, tricks are frequent, and wonderful. The audience watched with relish.
Although the soldier's physical strength has the absolute upper hand, according to the regulations, when playing football, the body cannot leave the fixed position, and the main fight is skill. After all, they are in the army, and they have not practiced for a long time, so they are inevitably unfamiliar. The excellence of one or two does not mean the excellence of all the players, and in the first game in the morning, the red team won a few points.
Wen Huaguo felt that he had lost face, and he was very angry, if it weren't for Deng She's presence, he was afraid that he would not have flipped the table early.
He blackened his face and said continuously: "Dog's day, dog's day, it's too uncompetitive." Lost the face of our army, lost the face of our province! Rolling his eyes, he quietly glanced at Deng She, and said viciously, "......, it's not enough, it's even more embarrassing for the lord!" You have to fight, you have to fight! ”
He snorted angrily, and he was about to step down. Deng She stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and said with a smile: "If you lose, you will lose, why bother to be angry?" I think this first loss was good. ”
The red team is all the children of the people, and when they win, they are naturally happy, which means that the army and the people are happy. However, the black team can't lose all the time, and the army can't lose face. Deng She said: "Won't there be another one later?" Including the afternoon one, Iron Order, must win! Not only to win, but also to win by a big score. ”
Wen Huaguo went down to arrange, re-select people, and organize the team.
The second game, the "leaping bow" of the competition. There is no goal, and the players of both sides get off the field, chase each other, compete for the ball, and the one with the most kicks wins. The black team has the upper hand in physical strength and is extremely fast, which makes up for the lack of skill. They were ashamed and brave, shouting and screaming, and the momentum was overwhelming, and as soon as this majesty was taken out, they really regained face and won by a big score.
Wen Huaguo's face showed a little smile.
Halfway through the game, Hong Jixun had something to do and said goodbye first.
Wait until the end of the game, almost noon. Deng She saw that it was not early, and in the cheers of the people, he got up and said a few words, praising both the black team and the red team, being impartial and approachable. Leaving Wenhua Kingdom, surrounded by Bi Qianniu and others, he took Princess Goryeo and Luo Guannu back and left the small school.
In the morning, Luo Guannu was frightened. She was young, her mood changed quickly, and she was infected by the celebratory atmosphere, like a happy little sparrow. She sat in the sedan chair, twisting restlessly, her little hands secretly lifted the sedan curtain, revealing a gap, and whispered to Deng She: "Daddy, daddy,......"
Deng She approached the horse and asked, "What?" ”
"Are you coming back in the afternoon?"
She blinked wide, her face full of delicious sweets, and she couldn't get enough of it.
Deng She smiled and said, "If you still want to come and see, I'll ask Bi Qianniu to accompany you, okay?" ”
"What about you?"
"Who do you see that?"
Deng She pointed ahead, Luo Guannu quickly slipped left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, he poked out his little head and looked forward. Not far away, on the side of the street, stood several knights. The first person, brocade robe and soft armor, belt short sword, horse and long bow, about twenty years old, with a dignified expression.
The bustling crowd and bustle surged past him, and he didn't say a word. This quiet movement brought out his serious silence more and more, who is Zhao Guo?
Luo Guannu sighed in disappointment, knowing that Deng She must have something to do in the afternoon, and he couldn't get out. She said: "Daddy has something, and the slave is so boring, so I don't come to see it." ”
"After a while, when you're not too busy, I'll accompany you back to the Twin Cities, okay? ......, do you miss your father? ”
Luo Lilang came to Pyongyang once a while ago and returned within a few days. The new official position given to him by Deng She, like Li Dunru, is also a member of the left and right divisions. However, Li Dunru has no real power, he is genuine, and he is now Wu Henian's first deputy, and his position is very important.
"Daddy treats slaves so well, but slaves never think about their father,......, but they miss their sisters at home."
Her answer was well-behaved and interesting, Deng She smiled and said, "Don't call me Daddy in the future, you have a different identity now, you need to call me Grandpa." ”
Luo Guannu was originally his maidservant, but was later accepted as a concubine, which is the so-called concubine by the servant. It stands to reason that the two are only different in name, but there is no difference in essence, and their status is very low, so it is okay to continue to use the title of "daddy". It's just that Deng She is now in charge of a province, which is not very dignified and makes people laugh.
Luo Guannu was reluctant and said, "No, just call Daddy." ”
"Be obedient."
"Okay, I won't call you Daddy, but I'm not called Daddy, Daddy, you're not old. It's called Daddy. ”
Dunshe laughed. After a few steps, he joined Zhao Guohui, Zhao Guo jumped off the horse and saluted respectfully. Deng She waved his hand and said, "Get up." Ah Guo, the bigger you are as an official, the more etiquette you have? Do you know what the army and the province secretly call you? ”
"I don't know."
"They all call you General Dorite. You and I have known each other since childhood, although we are not brothers, we are closer than brothers. When I was a centurion, you saved me twice on the battlefield, and I saved you twice. The two of us can be described as a life-changing friendship, why are you so restrained in front of me? Look at Uncle Wen and Uncle Chen, who is like you? ”
"The Lord's Office,...... It is very true. However, there is no distinction between the superior and the inferior. ”
Deng She lost his temper, he was unhappy on the surface, but he liked it in his heart. He shook his head and said, "I can't help you." ......, get on the horse, and talk as you go. ”
Zhao Guo was not in a hurry to get on the horse, so he sent his entourage first, far behind Bi Qianniu and other guards. Then he took the reins, asked Dunsher to go first, and retreated half of the horse's head. Every move is not polite. He's a man who grew up in a den of horse thieves, and he really doesn't know where he learned this.
"Explain your affairs, how are you doing?"
"The address has been chosen. For the time being, it is tentatively located next to the large campus field outside the city. In my opinion, there are three benefits. First, it is far away from the urban area and has a good environment. Second, the proximity to the barracks has a good atmosphere. Third, there are mountains and rivers nearby, which is conducive to subject training. Learn, apply what you have learned. Whether it is feasible or not is still up to the Lord to decide. ”
"Next to the big campus? Well, very good. However, you should be careful not to get too close to the campus. There are soldiers and soldiers practicing every day on the school grounds, and the noise is too loud and too close will affect the students' learning. ”
"Yes."
"What happened to the selection of instructors and the setting of courses?"
"In accordance with the orders of the Lord, the instructors are half selected from the original officer training corps, and half are selected from the veteran and experienced junior officers in the army. The course arrangement, also based on the instructions of the master, is tentatively divided into four subjects. Tactical strikes, mounted archery, combat examples, and small-scale formation exercises. ”
"Combat examples?"
"Yes. Through the explanation of famous battle examples, students can learn some simple military techniques, such as the importance of formation and military discipline. ”
Deng She bowed his head slightly and asked, "How long will it take to complete the four sciences?" ”
"Judging by the number of textbooks compiled so far, at least one year."
"A year? ......, a year is too long. The students are the ten masters, and those who graduate from the excellent are promoted to two levels, and at most there are only 100 households, so they don't need to learn so many things. Emphasis should be placed on technical attacks, mounted archery, and small-scale formation exercises, and it is necessary to be pragmatic and attach importance to actual combat. Subtract some of the useless content in the war case, and don't need to be too profound. ”
Deng Shequan calculated that it was now January, and there were still seven or eight months until autumn, and he said: "The study time of the first period may as well be set at eight months. Look at the results, if it doesn't work, you can change it again. ”
Zhao Guo agreed, and then asked a question and asked, "I don't know how many students are suitable for admission in the first phase?" ”
"Not too many, eight hundred. For the whole army selection, you can choose more from the five offices under my account. ”
Zhao Guo was very serious and asked, "Choose more, how much?" ”
There were more than 100,000 military horses in Haidong, and the five yas accounted for nearly half.
Deng She thought for a while and said, "In addition to the five ya, give twenty percent of the quota." Under the tent, five ya, eighty percent of the quota is given. "The eight achievements are six hundred and forty people, and the five armies are scattered, that is, more than one hundred and ten commanders are selected out of every ten thousand people. This figure is within an acceptable range, and at the very least, if there is a sudden war, it will not affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
"Okay, yes, someone in the Privy Council proposed, ask the lord, do you want to properly recruit some children of the people to come in?"
"You can recruit in the future, but you can't recruit in the first few issues."
"Minister, minister thinks ,......"
"I know that you are making this suggestion for the sake of the province to better win the hearts of the people, and even to promote the advocacy of my Hanli family. In the long run, it will be more conducive to absorbing non-governmental talent and enriching the combat strength of our army. However, when doing things, we must distinguish between the important and the important. At present, the top priority of our army is not to open up the source, but to consolidate. Consolidate and improve on the basis of improvement. After strengthening the army, you can think about other things. ”
Zhao Guo lowered his head and thought for a moment, and agreed with Deng She's opinion.
"Okay, in the Privy Council, there are still people who ask questions, thinking that the elimination rate set by the Lord is too high. Per cent. Eight hundred ten-commanders, after eight months, only seven hundred and sixty remained, and the loss was too great. Those who can enroll, obviously, must be the elite ,...... in our army"
"Keep improving. Without sharpening, how can the sword be sharp? Every time there is a war, those who fight on the front line are all ten commanders and hundreds of households, if they are not brave enough and not fierce enough, where will the victory come from? The drill must be fierce, with real knives and real guns! A 5 percent elimination rate is not at all. ”
Deng She pondered for a moment and said, "But what you said also makes sense. After all, they are all the elite of our army, so let's go back and make a charter, and all those who die due to lack of training will be regarded as killed in battle, and they will be treated as killed. ”
"The name of the school has not yet been chosen. Once construction starts, the construction of the school building will be completed within 10 months. This name has to be mentioned by the lord's father-in-law. ”
"Lecture on martial arts."
The two talked and discussed the details, and suddenly listened to three cannons in the distance.
——
1. Keju.
According to legend, when the Yellow Emperor was in power, he used Keju to train soldiers.
"Keju in ancient China was confrontational, competitive, entertaining and fitness. From the perspective of the history of Keju's development, during the Han and Tang dynasties, Keju was widely popularized and developed due to its competitiveness, fitness and entertainment.
"In the Song Dynasty, both in terms of technology and popularity, Keju reached its peak. The understanding of Kemari's fitness performance has deepened. After the Yuan Dynasty, the entertainment of Keju became more and more prominent, the other three characteristics gradually weakened, and the Keju movement gradually declined and even died out. ”
2. The body cannot leave the fixed position.
Keju of the Han Dynasty allowed for intense physical confrontation and even pushing. After the Tang Dynasty, skill prevailed, and there were many kinds of them. White fighting, mainly to kick out tricks, can not only entertain yourself, but also play in different classes. In addition, there is "juju", which is the game juggling.
In the case of a team with a goal, the goal is set in the middle, and the players are not allowed to leave in a fixed position.
