Chapter 209 [Daming FA Cup!] 】

It is impossible to aid Japan. Many of the civil servants who made suggestions were forced to resign, and a new batch of court officials were replaced.

Wenchen, who resigned, was resentful in his heart, and many wrote articles satirizing the society after returning home to highlight his high demeanor. However, the imperial court implemented the plan of worship, and the articles they wrote were almost unnoticed.

Previously, Ao Bai revised the newspaper and published a Beijing Daily that included entertainment, military, politics, and secret news. Now, according to the layout designed by Aobai, the Ministry of Officials has launched a new entertainment magazine "Starting Point Chinese" with high-quality paper.

In addition to gossip news, the magazine also serialized. The first is Tang Gongwei, the author of "Quick Knife Hong Jitong", the latest novel "Douluo Continent", which is also the inspiration that Ao Bai gave him. As soon as the new issue of the magazine came out, it sold out immediately, and it was also full of mythology, "Douluo Continent" is more exciting than "Journey to the West".

Many literati stopped chanting poetry and began to turn to the realm. What kind of pair, then there is no money to make, and you can earn manuscript fees according to sales if you are too happy to write

In addition, the Ministry secretly hired a painter to create the first ** magazine "Playboy" in history and sell it.

The poker game invented by Aobai, Monopoly chess and cards, has also spread to all over the country. There is no threat of war, and the people have enough food and clothing, and people have leisure and elegant entertainment activities, and a wave of entertainment has been formed in the country.

Ao Bai also put forward the slogan of six-year compulsory education in a timely manner, which was strongly supported by the people. As long as you spend a little money, you can let your child go to a public school, learn the basics, and choose their own subjects in the future.

This is a cross-generational feat. Nine adults in the country expressed their support, and the one percent of those who opposed it were literati who had studied the Baguwen for an unknown number of years. Their opposition is to no avail, most of these people are powerless, relying on their wives to support them at home, and they are stupid to read the Four Books and Five Classics. They are psychologically fragile, and it is impossible for them to revolt.

With regard to the bureaucratic landlord class, Ao Bai took measures to appease him. has already become an official, and he has no ability to do it first, and he is slowly looking for an opportunity to clean them up and break them one by one. Corrupt officials have no feelings for each other, and as long as they are not rectified on their heads, they will not strongly resist.

The literati of Donglin wrote all the complaining articles, and the writing was sad and angry all day long, like a dead father, and soon there was no room for survival by the impact of entertainment.

As soon as this move came out, the treasury made a large amount of silver, the treasury was empty before, according to the development of this trend, according to the responsible ministers, within five years, the Ming Dynasty will have to build a new warehouse, and the gold and silver will be piled up.

However, Ao Bai is not satisfied, he needs to make Daming's entertainment more more. Ancient emperors used Confucianism to maintain their rule, and Ao Bai was ready to use entertainment to maintain it. As the saying goes, "playthings lose their minds". If everyone can eat and drink well, and have fun, who will be full enough to rebel? Isn't it beautiful to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and everyone is happy to fight the landlord at home? Why shed blood?

On this day, Ao Bai and "Chongzhen" entered the Jinyi Guard military camp in the capital together, on the flat lawn, someone moved two large iron shelves over, behind the shelves, there are nets made of ropes, like two iron gates.

The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard didn't know what they were doing, they had heard that the emperor and the prince were going to inspect and play a game with them.

After the thousand-strong Jinyi guard team gathered, many people noticed that Ao Bai was holding something in his hand, which was a black and white ball.

Ao Bai smiled happily, held the ball and said: "I came today to play a game with the emperor with everyone, you should have heard of Keju, right?" ”

Someone immediately responded that they had heard of it. Keju is the predecessor of football, and the ancient Keju goal was very small and the ball was also small. The requirements are very technical. Don't look at the level of Chinese football in the 21st World is very bad, and even Asia can't rush out, but this is the birthplace of football.

About 4,000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor tribe in the Central Plains and the Chiyou tribe in the south fought a fierce war in Zhuolu. This battle was fought, the sky was angry, and finally the Yellow Emperor tribe won the victory and captured Chiyou. In order to vent his remaining hatred, the Yellow Emperor dug out Chi You's stomach, stuffed it with things, and made it into a ball for the soldiers to play a friendly match called "Stomach, how are you~~".

This is a translation of the silk book unearthed from the tomb of the Yellow Emperor next to the tomb of Cao Cao in Henan, this ball is a little scary, but it proves that in that era, games such as Chinese football have sprouted.

The rise and fall of the Keju movement is also inseparable from the policies and advocacy of the rulers.

Most of the emperors of the Tang and Song dynasties attached great importance to the sport of Keju and regarded it as a means of military training, and they all came to watch the games in person. The upper part is good, the lower part will be very good, along with the trend, widely carried out, this is an important factor in the prosperity of the Keju movement in the Tang and Song dynasties. At the peak of the Song Dynasty, Gao Yu, known as the "golden right foot", appeared as the king of the ball. It's a pity that Gao Yusheng was born at the wrong time, otherwise with his level, he could lead the national football team to the World Cup.

The Yuan Dynasty was founded by the Mongols who lived on horseback, and due to various reasons such as survival habits and ethnic barriers, they did not adapt to the type of games and sports of the Han people, let alone advocate it. Keju had to be transferred from the government to the people, and gradually became a purely entertaining cultural activity for the people.

After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he strictly forbade soldiers to bow and ordered that "those who bow unload", so there are almost not many people playing Keju.

Now Ao Bai actually took a juju to kick here, isn't this to disobey Taizu's last orders? However, the brocade guards also felt that it was normal. The ban on the sea and intermarriage were all overthrown. Will Taifu still take Taizu in his eyes for this trivial matter?

Ao Bai still put Taizu in his eyes, and he smiled: "Don't look at me with such eyes, as if I have done something rebellious." This one is made of cowhide, with some padding in it, which is completely different from Kemari, and I call it a football."

The brocade guards laughed, all of them knew their appearances, didn't they just change their names?

Ao Bai stood in the middle of the field and said loudly: "This is for exercising physical strength. If you run around the playground, you will find it boring, but with this it is different. After that, we have to divide the field, and there are eleven players on each side, one of whom is the goalkeeper, standing in front of those two. In addition to the goalkeeper can wear gloves to catch the ball with his hands, any other player is not allowed to touch the ball with any part of the arm, only with the foot, otherwise it is a foul This game is through the cooperation between the players, kick the ball into the opponent's goal and defend the opponent's attack at the same time, but also can only use the foot, can not kick people, can only kick the ball, defend their own goal......"

The basic rules of football are simple, and the soldiers of the brocade guard quickly understand. It was to play football with his feet, and Ao Bai personally went on the field and selected a group of brocade guards to form a team. Then a group of people formed another team and started kicking.

Naturally, it was very funny at the beginning, these people had never played football, their skills were rough at their feet, and when they defended, they were even more rough and constantly ...... Just after half of the court with the ball, a group of people surrounded and kicked the man, who didn't know how to pass the ball, but just desperately guarded. But his ball protector like Henry can't prevent a group of people from besieging him.

When these people are excited, they often only kick people and don't kick football, and kicking and kicking becomes a martial arts. In order for this group of people not to turn the competition into a martial arts conference. Ao Bai also called "Chongzhen" up, and the group of people quickly kicked in style. No matter how savage he is, he doesn't dare to hurt the emperor.

Jin Yiwei is full of martial arts and has excellent physical fitness. The running speed is almost 90+ in Pro Evolution Soccer.

One afternoon, a lot of people got the hang of the rules of football. They all fell in love with the sport, and the charm of the "world's number one sport" is not trivial. After a few days, the venue was not enough. A group of people can kick a ball until their legs cramp, but if they are allowed to practice, no one will practice until they cramp.

Every day, when the sun goes down, a group of people reluctantly leave the training ground.

Li Yan also came to join in the fun, he was strong in martial arts and had unlimited physical strength. In one day, he became the brightest star in the capital.

For all this, Ao Bai was very satisfied with the ministers and did not object, after all, running around is indeed very exercised. If Wenchen doesn't object, then no one will object.

Half a month later, the development of football expanded. "Chongzhen" took out 500 taels of silver as a bonus and organized a "Daming FA Cup".

The top three can get a lot of money, and two awards will be awarded, the "Golden Boot" for the most goals, and the "Best Player Award" for the best player. The best players will be judged by defense, assists, goals, midfielders can easily win, and players are encouraged to help their teammates score.

According to the rules of the game, the duration of a game is half an hour, divided into two halves, and the halftime is ten minutes. Each team can have 16 players, 11 starters, 5 substitutes, and each team can have five substitutions in the game.

Soon, several officials of the Ministry of Rites were in charge of registration, and the soldiers, who were gearing up, formed a team with their friends to sign up for the competition according to their own connections.

The team name is from the captain, and it is also varied. "Win and not lose the team", "Jinyi invincible team", "Baolong family" and so on......

The registration was completed in one day, and there were 50 teams participating, and there was nothing to do in normal times, and almost all of the Jinyi guards who had stayed in the capital for a long time participated.

However, the playground in the capital is very large, and there are more lawns, and under the arrangement of Aobai, six courts were quickly drawn in Beijing, and the middle line, sideline, and restricted area were also made...... Chongzhen "personally drew lots and grouped them, and it was as formal as the World Cup."

The first football cup of the Ming Dynasty has begun.
