The Imperial Shooting Conference was postponed, and the evening of the day dropped suddenly, and it snowed heavily at night, and it continued to snow the next day.

A few days later, he simply changed to the Chengbei Stadium and invited envoys from Liao, Xixia, and Goryeo to watch the Keju game.

By the way, Bibi rode and shot.

There was a warm sun in the sky, and the snow was swept away.

The members of the royal family sat in the audience with the best view, followed by ministers and envoys of various countries, and civil and military officials. Many people in Tokyo were allowed to buy tickets to watch the game.

There are four major football clubs in Tokyo today.

The old Qiyun Society and Yuanshe are still strong.

Li Bangyan likes to juju, but because of his identity, it is inconvenient to swagger, so he asked his nephew to come forward to form the Chuanyun Society, and when he heard the name, he rushed to overturn the Qiyun Society.

Gao Yu's eldest son and second son partnered to form a championship club, and the name was given to win the championship - the word "championship" originated from the Tang Dynasty dragon boat race to win the lottery bid.

In addition to the big four, there are also six small, a total of ten teams.

Emperor Zhu personally stepped forward to guide, let ten teams participate in the league, and also formulated a set of points rules.

Gambling was also formalized, with three football lottery licenses issued by the imperial court, which were obtained by merchants through competitive bidding. In the future, only these three companies are allowed to gamble, and they must be taxed by the imperial court.

This thing is really unforbidden, as long as you are still playing ball games, there are people who secretly gamble on balls. It is better to be guided by the imperial court, and by the way, you can collect a few taxes, and it is better to investigate and deal with problems when you encounter them.

In order to prevent monopoly, each of the three companies that have obtained a football lottery license must have more than five shareholders with different surnames.

A license can only last for eight years, after which it needs to be re-tendered.

The envoys arrived at the stadium and sat down to watch the game, and they were no strangers to it.

The Song Dynasty entertained foreign envoys, and there were often juju performances.

The Northern Song Dynasty was rich and specialized in raising teams and opera artists in the Jiaofang Division, and these two groups were nicknamed the "Left and Right Army". The Southern Song Dynasty had insufficient financial resources, and the performance team that entertained the envoys had to be temporarily convened from the people.

After the stadium was closed, the game did not start immediately.

Some of the athletes who don't have an event today are playing on the field to entertain the spectators. They play goalless kicking, all kinds of high-altitude throws and catches, and sometimes even perform solo performances for two or three minutes.

Whenever there was a wonderful action, the audience cheered enthusiastically.

"Dangdang!"

At the end of the warm-up, the bell rang three times, and the two teams of Qiyun Club and Chuanyun Club entered.

Li Bangyan summoned his nephew Li Du: "Have you told them?" ”

Li Du replied: "I have already made it clear." All goals are rewarded with 10 strokes, and the scorer is awarded an additional 10 strokes. ”

Li Bangyan said: "Today's ball game, you can't lose. The royal family and nobles are all there, and the envoys of various countries are also there, and if they lose, they will lose face! ”

Li Du made a small report and said: "I actually want to give the other side 500 guan, so that they can relax their feet at a critical time." But those bastards on the other side also want to win, and they don't take their uncle seriously at all. A group of former dynasty lords run a ball club is now the new Ming Dynasty, I don't know what they are angry? ”

"There are people behind them, so don't talk about them." Li Bangyan admonished.

The field has kicked off, and under the influence of the two traversers, the Keju rules of the Ming New Dynasty have changed a lot.

The first is the goal, there is only one goal in the Song Dynasty, and it is set up in the midfield. Now it has been changed to a goal at each end of the court, and the hole has become much larger.

The goal of ten meters high has become five meters high.

The second is the number of players on the field, from seven players per team to nine players per team.

Less than two minutes into the game, one player jumped up and scrambled, flew the ball with his head, and the other player stopped the ball steadily.

"Boom!"

"Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng!"

The crowd shouted loudly, and many spectators stood up excitedly, and it was obvious that it was a star who received the ball.

Zhu Ming hadn't come to watch the game for half a year, so he couldn't figure out what the situation was, so he asked casually: "Who is Ah Sheng?" ”

I don't know how many wives and concubines I have, only Zheng Yuanyi said: "I have accompanied my mother to watch a few shows, and they were all brought by Li Zhizhao." There was a game that was also shouted like this, and then asked, and there was a man named Li Asheng who played extremely well. ”

This Li Asheng is the ball head (captain), and the left and right pole nets (left and right defenders) on the opposite side are surrounded together, and even the scattered (free man) also rushes through the bag.

Li Asheng hurriedly passed the ball out.

Zheng Zheng (forward) received the ball and passed it to the deputy (shadow forward), the deputy shook the person, and passed the ball to Li Asheng who ran past.

The new rules create a penalty area, and only the attacker's ball head and the defender's left and right nets can enter the box. Moreover, there can be no physical contact in the penalty area, and you can only interfere in other ways, otherwise how can you score a goal with only a basket in mid-air?

At the same time, after the head of the ball dribbles into the penalty area, the ball can no longer land. Once the ball hits the ground, the attacking team loses possession.

The whole set of rules is a hodgepodge.

Zhu Ming didn't like the Song Dynasty way of juju very much, and the ball could not land during the whole process, so he formulated the rule that players on both sides could not touch physically. The skill is very high, but the confrontation is too weak.

And the football players in Tokyo also don't like Zhu Ming's rules very much, thinking that Prince Zhu's way of playing football is too barbaric.

The two sides are compromised and fused, that is, they become the current four dislikes.

On the contrary, in the army, it has completely become modern football, and the fight is called fierce.

I saw Li Asheng using various parts of his body to constantly move and adjust the ball. The two defenders on the opposite side are like big enemies, they not only have to interfere with the goal, but also have to prevent physical contact, if Li Asheng hits them with the ball, it is a foul by the defender.

"Brush!"

A ball flies out and goes into the hole.

The audience cheered.

The goal used to be ten meters high, but now it has become five meters, which is too easy for Keju masters.

Zhu Ming felt very boring, and the confrontation in the penalty area was too poor.

Zhu Ming called Bai Sheng over: "Tell the ten teams of the four major societies and the six small societies that I don't care how they usually play." But as long as you play here, you must follow the rules of Keju in the army. In addition, before New Year's Day, the goal here was changed to the kind of big goal close to the ground in the army! ”

"Yes!" Bai Sheng didn't care about this, he didn't like Keju.

In the midst of Zhu Ming's boredom, a football match was finally played, followed by another polo match.

The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin liked this thing very much, and they saw it very brightly, and decided to play polo after returning home.

After the polo match, it really gets to the point.

Many arrow targets were erected in the field, and Zhu Guoxiang sent people to send messages to the envoys of various countries, asking them if they would send representatives to the field for horse shooting.

The first to play was the representative of Western Xia.

This is a young man named Shigenobu Xiangli, who went to the sidelines and chose a good horse and shot with his bow and arrows.

The rule is to gallop out from the sidelines, and when you reach the first target, you must gallop at a certain speed. A total of 10 targets were set up every 20 meters, and the horses could not be stopped in the middle of the process.

Xiang Li Chongxin's first arrow hit the ten rings, and the second arrow hit the eight rings, and it seems that the Western Xia envoys have already prepared. They had been planning to participate in the spring shooting tournament for a long time, but now it was brought forward to winter.

It's a pity that the third arrow messed up, and the horse rushed faster and faster, and he couldn't spare his hand to slow down the horse, so he didn't have time to pull the string and shoot off the target.

Ten arrows were shot, a total of fifty-seven rings.

Xiang Li Chongxin returned to the audience in frustration, he was careless for a while, did not think carefully about the rules, and was in a hurry when he was about to shoot.

"Saba, you go." Wanyan Zongfu said.

There are a lot of people in Liao and Jin who are called Saba, but this one is Sushi Lie Saba.

This man was not yet thirty years old, and when he was a teenager, he fought with Aguda. Due to the intermarriage with the Wanyan family for five consecutive generations, the relationship between the two tribes is very close, and the entire Sushi Lie Department is a supporter of the ancestral lineage.

Fu Shi Lie Saba rode the war horse he brought, his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse slowly accelerated.

Don't rush too fast, lest you have enough time to react.

Don't run too slowly, otherwise you will be laughed at even if you shoot.

There are two ten rings, one nine rings, and one eight rings.

Moreover, this guy learned the lesson of the Western Xia envoy, leaned forward on the horse's back, hooked the reins with his left hand holding the bow, and paid attention to controlling the horse's speed while shooting arrows.

In total, eighty-four rings!

After shooting, Su Shilie Saba ran back and forth, holding a birch bow in his hand to show off his might, and even ran to the Western Xia envoys to wander around.

The Western Xia envoy's face was pale, obviously disgusted.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin was smiling, and he was very satisfied with the performance of Su Shi Lie Saba.

"Knock knock!"

The drums sounded, and the Ming archers appeared.

The generals from the south fought in Hebei last year, and most of them went back to serve in the garrison.

Yang Zaixing was the only one who was left behind to systematically study military theories, and while studying, he assisted in compiling military textbooks (in fact, he started to do it).

As soon as he was free, he came to the Tiansi Prison Ranch to practice, and his riding and archery skills became more and more exquisite.

Three rings in a row, some target officials immediately raised their cards, and the envoy of the Jin Kingdom was surprised.

It is not difficult to even hit the ten rings, and it is not difficult to ride and shoot on a galloping horse, but it is a bit difficult to ride and shoot continuously between runs.

There are a total of eighty-nine rings, which is five rings more than the eight rings of the stone liesa.

"Good!"

The audience applauded again and again, and every time Yang Zaixing shot an arrow, the audience erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

For them, today's ticket price is really worth it, not only can they watch two ball games, but they can also see the Ming archers overwhelm the envoys.

Zhu Guoxiang smiled and said: "Hundreds of civil and military officials and their children, as well as those who are interested in riding and shooting, can play. ”

The emperor spoke, and many Han family sons who could ride and shoot ran to the sidelines to line up to choose horses, and even Li Bangyan came on the field to join in the fun.

Zhu Ming got up and left the table, walked over and said to Wanyan Zongfu, "How about practicing together?" ”

Wanyan Zongfu arched his hand and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"The prince shoots it personally!"

"The prince shoots it personally!"

"Knock knock knock!"

Seeing the prince himself appear, the war drums were beating extremely vigorously, and the drummer was eager to break the drum skin.

After finishing Yan Zongfu's thoughts, he was not on the test riding and shooting.

Daming is very strong today, even Prince Zhu has to show his hand, I'm afraid it will be difficult to negotiate peace!

(Updated on the night of the first half of the new year, the time is quite weird.) Squint and smile. ）
