"Zhuge Huashengjun, did you hear any strange sounds?"

"No, Sherlock Holmes, speaking of which, although the room here costs 1 pound 12 shillings a night, it is really worth the money!"

[In the 19th century, 1 US dollar was equivalent to 1.6038 grams of pure gold, and 1 pound was equivalent to 7.32238 grams of pure gold, for the convenience of calculation, this book took 5 US dollars = 1 pound, and at this time 1 pound = 20 shillings = 240 pence, so Zhu Fugui did not pit the Maori mission, and did give them a discount of 1/2 of the room price]

"Yes, if Robert knew that we could be invited to Mr. Huang He's hometown to play a football game, he would be crazy with jealousy."

"Well, it's a pity that the stupid Whig robbers actually tried to ban Mr. Yellow Crane's works, and claimed that they violated the interests of the British Empire, which is really unreasonable!"

"Hmph, I'm going to secretly vote for the Tory Outlaws in the next election, and let these damn bandits feed the sharks!"

The chatter and grumbling disappeared at the end of the hallway.

One hundred and sixty years later, a storm caused by the shameless fat men of the Mosaic team coined the term "kneeling basket child".

Of course, the influence of Daming today cannot be compared with any "human lighthouse", but the modern football model that transcends the times, coupled with the hybrid offensive of Benge reasoning/sour love fan, still has a certain appeal.

At least for these spiritually empty rich second generations.

The leader, the little second stunned man in the blue suit, is the brother-in-law of His Majesty Fugui, Julie's cousin Franklin Vanderbilt, who studied at Cambridge.

Of course, he himself did not yet know that he had such a noble status.

He just came to participate in the first world's No. 1 football match with a simple pilgrim mentality.

·

Two days later, in the newly built Fengdu Royal Stadium, the Mighty Bull Demon Cup officially began.

Originally, Zhu Fugui thought that the football stadium that he spent three months to build should be the world's earliest football stadium in the modern sense.

However, after checking the information, it was found that as early as three years ago, the north-east of England had a special football stadium - Sandy Gateball.

Of course, compared to the football stadium that can only accommodate 700 people, the Daming Royal Stadium can accommodate 5,000 people to watch the game at the same time, which can be said to be much more than a deck.

Sure enough, when the silly boys who entered the stadium in fancy and homemade costumes entered the stadium, they were immediately stunned by such a crowded scene.

The Colosseum, which is said to have a capacity of 90,000 people, is hard to identify, but the 5,000-strong stadium is truly imposing.

The citizens of Fengdu, who dragged their families in the stands, took advantage of the rare weekend to watch the quintessence of the Ming Dynasty and enjoy the heroic posture of His Majesty Fugui playing football.

Of course, for those ghosts who participated in the competition, they didn't boo too much, let alone throw Coke cans and the like.

After all, Spanish robbers enjoy bullfighting performances, and no one will spit trash on the bulls, right?

Everyone knows that victory will belong to the heroic and fearless Majesty, and these ghosts are just a backdrop to show His Majesty's heroic appearance.

Well, just like the ferocious cougar in the legend three years ago, wasn't he picked up by His Majesty with three punches and two kicks?

Although the ending is doomed, this will not affect everyone's enthusiasm for watching the game.

As long as the process is exciting, even if it is a fake hand-to-hand combat like WWE, someone will buy it.

There are a total of 8 teams participating in this competition, namely: [Royal Warriors], [Kedao Giant Bears], [United Shipyards Team], [Fengdu Workers], [Guozijian Patriotic Youth Team], [Changzhou Loyalty Team], [Seattle Pink Spring Team], and [England Progressive Youth Team].

Because it was only the first competition, Zhu Fugui didn't bother to engage in any complex systems such as group stages and round-robins, but adopted the simplest single-elimination system.

Before the main meal, it is natural that there will be an exciting warm-up performance.

The Royal Art Troupe presented wonderful and festive songs and dances for the audience.

Of course, the most popular is the well-received special combat team repertoire program "28-person Motorcycle Speed" on last year's Spring Festival Gala.

Compared to the last performance, the boys of the special combat team are more skilled, and the number of people carried and the difficulty of the maneuvers on the motorcycles have reached a higher level.

In fact, motorcycle performances are not only wonderful and exciting, but also have strong practical significance in this era, and even for a long time in the future.

Today's cities, especially those in East Asia that the Ming Dynasty has set its sights on, have extremely narrow streets.

Imagine the old towns of southern cities, or urban villages, where even the Han Riding Tank is so small that you can't drive in!

Not to mention tanks, even cars are not easy to drive into.

The only reliable vehicle is a motorcycle.

The three-wheeled sidecar is a little better, but if you want to shoot and dodge in the alley on a two-wheeled motorcycle, you have to practice three-style juggling?

So, this wave of Daming is 50 years ahead of the world!

Another highlight of the performance was the performance of the theme song of "The Detective" by His Majesty Nirvana and international friend Julie Vanderbilt, saxophone/piano ensemble. (See the dubbing in this paragraph for music, if not, it's clipped)

In fact, Zhu Fugui was a little hesitant at first, King Zhao drummed and King Qin beat the rope It didn't seem to be a face-saving thing.

But thinking about it left and right, didn't the old man who tried to compete with the queen in later generations also play the guitar and sing as a graceful thing?

At such a young age, how can such an enlightened emperor be so famous?

So, in the click-click shutter, the classic scene of Emperor Dewu blowing the sheng and Concubine Fan caressing the qin was forever frozen in the black and white photos and became a masterpiece.

Many of Zhu Fugui's books are naturally quite popular in the Ming Dynasty, and the music scores issued with the magazine are even more popular in the Ming Dynasty.

Countless Guo Degang hummed anime tunes, which was also a scene in the streets and alleys of Fengdu.

Therefore, at the climax of the song, the audience naturally stood up and sang together.

It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhu Fugui thinks this song...... It has a bit of Tianjin flavor.

Fengdu is on the edge of Xinjin, no problem!

As for Franklin and the others, when they saw this situation, they were already so excited that they burst into tears, and let the ghosts cry wolves, what they know is that they know that they are singing, and those who don't know think they are crying!

It's no wonder they're excited.

Those who can come from far and wide to make a pilgrimage are all true love fans.

It's like seeing a fan crying for Kojan, or a fan screaming for Michael Jackson on Moscow's Red Square in 1996.

All in all, that's the charm of a cultural invasion that isn't really incomprehensible to fans.

Finally, when the theme song "We Are the Champions" composed by the famous composer Zhu Fugui sounded, the competition officially began.

·

A soccer match takes two hours before and after, so you can only play four games in a day.

The 8 teams will play the knockout rounds, and a total of 7 games will be played.

Therefore, the competition also needs to be divided into two days.

As the opening game, the [Royal Warriors] naturally have to play.

[Royal Warriors] is, as the name suggests, Zhu Fugui's team.

But not all of its players are from Zhu Fugui's side.

After all, although these guards are all elite soldiers selected by thousands of people, proficient in various killing skills and escort skills, they do not necessarily play football.

The [Royal Warriors] are actually the same as the Bayi team in later generations, and they are composed of the strongest combat forces selected from the whole army and even the whole country.

This is also the reason why, before the marketization of the football and basketball league, Bayi has always been a top team.

Among Zhu Fugui's [Royal Warriors], only 3 people are from his side, including Fan Datou, the royal chef as the goalkeeper, and Xiao Liu, who is the driver.

The other main players and substitutes have a total of 15 people, all of whom are from Jinyiwei and the army.

On the contrary, the navy, due to the comparison of the station, Zhu Fugui asked them to form an independent team and made a [Kedao Giant Bear Team], which can be regarded as a double insurance.
