Chapter 79 Rugby Game
"Why don't we try it? Set up a venue with me. Who would like to bring our soldiers to experience it first?" I asked excitedly.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Qing is willing to give it a try." Zhang Qing immediately stood up and said, clasping his fists at me and said
"Your Majesty, let me go, General Zhang, you are too young, how can you find a wife after you bump into it?" Sun Li stood up and said to Zhang Qing jokingly.
"Brother Sun is such a bad word. I think I look so handsome and the girl who wants to marry me must at least have a team of thousands of people." Zhang Qing said proudly, but he is indeed proud of his capital, so handsome that I want to slap him twice.
Seeing that the two of them were arguing, Dong Ping quickly interrupted and said, "Oh, Brother Sun Li, Brother Zhang Qing, you two are sure who will come first. Your Majesty, please let me come, I..." Dong Ping was interrupted by Xu Ning before he finished speaking, and then there were constant generals in the army. The coach began to compete for this first chance to play rugby. I was so big that I was so big.
"Old Zhou, please make arrangements for this matter. I will go and see how the venue is prepared first." After that, I pulled Wu Song and others and Zhang Qiying out of the central army's tent like a silence, leaving this more difficult problem to Zhou Tong, who was also big-headed, with this big head.
"Old Zhang, it's good that this soldier dares to take responsibility for it, but it's really unbearable to grab anything." I said to Zhang Qiying after the big account.
"Yes, soldiers, who doesn't do this?" Zhang Qiying replied.
"That's right, please arrange someone to prepare the venue quickly." I ordered Zhang Qiying.
"Yes, I'll make arrangements now."
There were many people in the army, and in a short while, the venue was almost arranged. When all the soldiers who did not have training tasks heard that there was a new activity project, they immediately surrounded the entire venue. The venue was just built and not long after, Zhou Tong brought the generals.
"All arranged?" I said to Zhou Tong
"Yes, the emperor, it's arranged that Zhang Qing and Sun Li will fight against Dong Ping and Xu Ning. Each group will have fifteen players on the field, and the number of substitutes will be unlimited." Zhou Tong returned and said
"Old Zhou, you have a good idea, hahaha. Tell them that the players on the field are wearing leather armor and heavy armor, so that the medical soldiers can be prepared at any time outside the field, and all injured soldiers can be treated immediately." I said. This set of equipment will take about 60 kilograms, and the soldiers will run and snatch them hard, in order to train them
"Yes, the emperor, I will make arrangements now."
The world's first rugby game started today in September of the 9th year of the Song Dynasty.
Both sides played fifteen players, and the substitutes off the court, uh... hundreds of them, one side covered the red burqa and the other side covered the green burqa. The referee threw the ball net into the court, and the game officially began.
With the shouts of players from both sides, everyone in the venue was excited. One person in the Red Square rose into the air, jumped up, and held the rugby in his arms before the rugby fell. But who knew that as soon as he landed, he was hit by the Green Square and the ball was off his hand. Both sides fought for each other. The field was in chaos. At this time, the Red Square kicked one by one, kicked a player in the Green Square and took the rugby from his arms. The man saw the wind blowing under his feet, and instantly reached the goal of the Green Square. The ball was thrown in. The Red Square scored first, and a loud cheer resounded throughout the real field.
Then the Green Side serves the ball. After many obstacles, a Green Side player finally arrives at the Red Side goal. He was about to pitch, but a Red Side player instantly killed him. He came up with a sweeping leg. After the Green Side player avoided, he kicked his legs and forced his opponent away. Then he turned around and threw the rugby into the goal.
In just one cup of tea, both sides began to change players constantly, and the players who were replaced were all sweating profusely and panting like bulls. The players who had just changed the field were like wild horses that had been ridden from the reins, running nonstop. Looking at the soldiers who had replaced the field, I was actually quite moved. I thought it was true that even if I had good physical strength, I would suddenly add more than 60 pounds of weight to your body and let you play this kind of high-explosion rugby sport. Needless to say, more than ten minutes, ordinary people can be very powerful in two or three minutes, and these soldiers range from seven or eight minutes to ten minutes. I think these soldiers are already very powerful.
In this way, when we were back and forth, a rugby game that only lasted half an hour ended. The soldiers who played the formalities sat or went to rest as if they were exhausted, while the soldiers who did not played the formalities screamed excitedly. What's more, some soldiers directly found their coach or general and asked to participate in the competition.
At this time, I had already brought Zhou Tong and other generals back to the Central Army tent with me.
"Tell me what you think of this football game." I asked you all the leaders.
"To be honest, the emperor, this competition is indeed more interesting than previous competition events, and it can inspire the passion and passion of the soldiers. I suggest that this sport be promoted throughout the army. The soldiers' continuous high-intensity entertainment training can not only greatly alleviate the inner tension caused by the loneliness of the military camp, but also greatly enhance the soldiers' bodies during game play. Therefore, the old minister's suggestion is that this event should not only be promoted, but also be held frequently in the army." Zhou Tong, the Minister of War, said.
I really didn't expect that Zhou Tong's idea coincided with me, which was almost the same: "Zhou Aiqing said it well. In addition to these, soldiers' cooperation activities in this fierce environment can more effectively enhance their team awareness and team collaboration ability. Look at the field, except for the lack of swords, guns, swords, halberds, hooks and forks, no flesh and blood flying, and broken limbs and bodies. It doesn't look like killing enemies on the battlefield. Just this murderous atmosphere is already a place where people are on the battlefield. So my meaning is consistent with the opinion of Old Aiqing Zhou. This rugby match will not only continue to be held in the future, but also more without affecting normal military training."
"I will obey the order." All the coaches and generals held their fists and took the order. I actually saw the flame of a blazing desire in their eyes.
After giving instructions on everything here, I said to Zhou Tong: "Aiqing Zhou, take me to Hualang's station to take a look."
