Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 128 seems quite interesting!
As for Cuju, it can only be said that men and women in the Song Dynasty all knew about it.

Some of them might even be very good at it.

However, playing Cuju on such a large field was something they had never seen before.

After the explanation beforehand, many people had a general understanding of the rules of the competition.

Some people even said shamelessly: "It's such a big door, can't we just kick it in easily?"

The person explaining the situation could only tell the other party: "If you are interested, you can sign up to participate. If you lead a team to win the finals, you can get a bonus of 500 kan."

Those who came today included both wealthy businessmen and common people.

When the common people heard the five hundred strings of cash, they naturally drooled.

However, five hundred strings of cash is quite tempting for a wealthy businessman's son.

“Where can I sign up?”

"All you need to do is find your teammates and report your names and numbers to the person in charge here. I'm a temporary employee as well, but you should be able to find me if you just ask anyone here."

Then someone else said, "Although this gate is very large, this side is also very large. I'm afraid the battle will be very intense."

The third person, who was probably familiar with the classics, said, "This kind of kicking is somewhat similar to the kicking style during the Han Dynasty, both emphasizing physical confrontation. However, during the Han Dynasty, each side had six Jushi, and there were six people defending in front of each Jushi. It is said that this was used for military training."

"Who came up with this gameplay?"

The person explaining the situation said, "It is said that he is the emperor's second son, His Royal Highness Prince Yu."

The guests were also strange.

The main reason was that he had just arrived in Tokyo City and didn't know much about the situation in the capital.

"so……"

"Does His Royal Highness Prince Yu want to revive the customs of the Han Dynasty?"

Seeing that he was not very familiar with His Royal Highness Prince Yu, the person explaining also said: "It is more than just reviving the legacy of the Han Dynasty. Although His Royal Highness Prince Yu is only six years old this year, he already leads 3,500 soldiers."

The guest was also surprised when he heard it.

Are you sure you just said six?
Instead of sixteen, or twenty-six?

……

Gossip about Zhao Xin is flying everywhere.

However, what Zhao Xin did could not be concealed.

As early as when he asked Zhao Xun to go to Hebei to recruit soldiers, the people and officials of Hebei already knew about it.

This censor even expressed to the emperor that, isn't it a bit too much for the emperor to dote on His Royal Highness the Prince of Yu?

Besides, he is only six years old!

however……

In the end, all the most combative censors had been subdued by Zhao Xin.

The fighting power of the remaining censors can only be described as weak.

Therefore, even if the censors had objections to this, Zhao Zhen would dismiss them with just a few words.

What's wrong with six years old?
Can’t I lead troops at the age of six?

of course!

Zhao Zhen's behavior must have caused some problems among other concubines.

But the problem is...

You can't give birth.

Then there's no way!

Otherwise, if you also give birth to children, then he might consider giving their sons 3,500 soldiers as well.

It mainly depends on whether this concubine is favored.

If the child was born by Madam Zhang, then he would definitely be given to her.

If you were not born by Madam Zhang, then they would probably first see if you were smart or not, whether you were as smart as Xinglai. If not? Then forget it.

From now on, living a quiet life and being a wise king and assisting Zui Xinglai may be the best way out.

……

Mooncake Festival.

Because it’s not Chinese New Year.

So this time, Zhao Xin decided not to go to watch the game.

He should have taken his father to see it together.

But...time is tight!

And since the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is only one day, we can just find a time during the Chinese New Year and play an exhibition match.

At that time, there was more time.

Madam Miao also knew about the Cuju competition.

Then he said, "Don't you need to go and watch this Cuju match?"

Zhao Xin replied, "It doesn't matter whether you watch it or not. The people of Song Dynasty love Cuju. The tickets have been sold out in advance, so there is no need to watch it. Besides, I have arranged professionals to handle all matters, big and small."

But don’t say anything!

Zhao Xin was more or less a little worried that the people of Song Dynasty would not like to watch this stuff.

This mainly depends on whether the game is exciting or not.

This is actually difficult for Zhao Xin to control.

Although he has asked someone to control it.

While Zhao Xin was spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with Miss Miao doing nothing, on the Cuju field.

The audience was also stunned watching the game.

First half!
It was almost just a blind kick.

It seems that apart from the increased physical confrontation and the replacement of the goal with a bigger one, it seems to be no different from the ordinary Cuju.

It seemed that both sides played without any rules.

All kinds of ball grabbing and physical contact can be said to be extremely intense.

and……

The individual skills of the players on the left seemed to be stronger, so they played very smoothly and scored two goals in the first half alone.

But wait till the second half!

The team that was originally losing by two goals seemed to have suddenly changed its playing style.

Moreover, didn’t they play for a long time before and conceded two goals to the opponent?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that their strength must be weaker than that of the opponent!

however……

The second half had only been going on for less than a quarter of an hour when they scored a goal directly with a long pass and a long shot.

Then the second ball!

The third goal!
The team that was originally losing in the second half suddenly overtook the opponent.

even……

Everyone on the field could see that they had played their opponents, who had played very well in the first half, in the palm of their hands.

Their opponents, on the other hand, seemed to have no idea what was going on or what happened in the second half.

Until the third goal!
The team on the left finally woke up after losing three goals in a row.

You have to guard their men one by one.

It is best to keep a close eye on the opponent. Wherever he goes, you should follow him, and then he won't be able to catch the ball.

however……

Useless.

Because in this case, you can't pull other people's clothes or hold them to prevent them from moving. Once the other person finds an opportunity and speeds up, it is possible that the person who is staring at him will be left far behind.

finally……

The team on the left made the best possible corrections, and of course, the team on the right also held back.

Three to two, the game ended.

After watching the game, many people said it was a truly exciting match.

From the initial loss to the obvious change of play later, the left side was not stupid, they called a timeout, gathered together to discuss, and then changed. Unfortunately, in the end, due to time constraints, they were unable to catch up.

The team on the right is simply the villain!

As for the team on the left, it is really a pity.

"Is this the new style of Cuju?"

“It seems quite interesting!”
