The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 292 Zhaoling Six Horses
The black and white teams know each other too well, and their strengths are evenly matched. After nine and 10 minutes of playing, they are still three-to-three.

Neither side scored a goal in stoppage time, and both sides scored a goal in overtime to tie the game four to four.

Then came the exciting penalty shootout.

After being infected by the warm atmosphere for so long, Li Shimin and others were inevitably brought in.Knowing the rules of the penalty shootout, I couldn't help becoming nervous.

This time the winner was finally decided. In the penalty shootout, the white team scored three out of five goals, while the black team only scored two. In the end, the two sides ended the game with a score of [-]-[-].

"Wow..." There was warm applause at the scene.

Even the audience of the black team who lost did not blame the players, but shouted in unison: "Black team, black team, black team!!!"

The players were also moved, standing in a row and bowing to the audience.

Chen Jingke took the opportunity to come to Li Shimin's side and said, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this game?"

Li Shimin praised: "That's right, it's much more interesting than I imagined."

At this time, Wei Zheng suddenly said: "Football has forwards, defenders, and goalkeepers. Everyone performs their duties and cooperates with each other. There is a sense of military formation in it."

"Furthermore, it takes two hours for a ball game to end, and it can also greatly exercise the physical strength of the soldiers. It can be described as entertaining and educational... I think this sport is good, and it can be promoted in the entire army."

Everyone looked at him in surprise. They didn't expect that instead of objecting, he would be the first to support it. It's really not in line with his nature.

With a calm face, Wei Zheng said, "Everyone, don't think that I am an old-fashioned old man. If it is really a policy that benefits the country and the people, I will not object."

After speaking, he glanced at Li Shimin intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Shimin knew in his heart that this was for himself.But the enfeoffment plan involved a lot of things, and he would not trust the other party just because he made a statement.

So I pretended I didn't understand anything, and said with a smile: "It's really good, and then we can let all armies participate in the competition."

Unexpectedly, Chen Jingke raised an objection, saying: "What is good at the top must be good at the bottom. If football is too important, I am afraid that the armies will rely on football to be superior and neglect the battle."

"So it's better for the army to be more pure. You can let them play football but not take it too seriously, especially games."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Haha... yes, you have considered things more and more comprehensively. It is true that this matter has to be guarded against, but it cannot be corrected too much."

That's what he said, but he didn't mention the army football game anymore.

However, Chen Jingke suggested: "Football games are actually more suitable to be held among the people. It has been 21 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Although it cannot be said that the people have enough food and clothing, they have already recovered some vitality."

"Eating and clothing requires some spiritual enjoyment. Playing football is a good sport. Especially in school, it is more suitable for sports."

"It can not only prevent those students from becoming powerless people, but also allow them to vent their excess energy, and also enhance their sense of group."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's a good idea to promote football games in the school. Fang Qing, please write this down and tell Kong Jijiu later."

Fang Xuanling said, "Here."

Chen Jingke was also very happy to see the prospect of promoting football, and secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that there would not be so many football memes in the future.

While talking here, the players on the field had already packed up, waiting for the emperor's review.

Li Shimin praised everyone's performance in the past, praised the white team for playing well, but don't be proud, and strive to play better results.

He also praised the black team for their perseverance, but they were unlucky and lost a goal, so don't be discouraged, and strive to win next time.

Everyone was naturally very happy to be praised by the emperor, but Li Shimin found that the Bai team looked at him expectantly, as if they were waiting for him to announce something important.

This made him a little puzzled. Could it be that he wanted some kind of reward for a ball game?
Chen Jingke knew what was going on, and said at the right time: "Your Majesty, after all, they are the first two football teams in the Tang Dynasty. It doesn't sound good to always be called the black team and the white team. How about you give them a name?"

Li Shimin immediately knew what was going on, shook his head and said with a smile: "You... okay, then give them names."

The white team was very happy, and the originally disappointed black team immediately became excited when they heard that they also had a share.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "It is said that King Mu of Zhou has eight steeds, which are auspicious things in the world. Among them, the white horse is Bai Yi, and the black horse is Robber Li."

"Your team uniforms are black and white, so let's call them Bandaoli and Baiyi respectively."

Before the players had time to be happy, Chen Jingke said first: "No, Bajun is the mount of King Mu of Zhou. How can His Majesty Baiqi Sinai's eagle dog be named after them?"

"As far as I know, His Majesty once had six horses, and they followed you in the southern and northern wars to quell all kinds of anti-kings, and finally ruled the world."

"I think it's more appropriate to name them after your six steeds, and the soldiers will like them more... Do you think so?"

This last sentence is for the players.

Everyone naturally knew how to answer at this time, and shouted at the top of their voices: "Yes, I hope to be a saint and eagle dog forever."

Li Shimin was still a little hesitant when he thought it was a good name and was rejected, but he was excited when he heard the second half of the sentence.

He had many mounts, but the six that impressed him the most were the ones that accompanied him to destroy an anti-king.

Not long ago he made a decision to ask Yan Lide and Yan Liben to make relief sculptures of the six steeds and put them in the Zhaoling Mausoleum under construction.

It is not only a commemoration of Liu Jun, but also a way to show his achievements.

It's just that this decision is only known to him, and he has not had time to tell others.Now hearing Chen Jingke mention it suddenly, he immediately felt a confidant.

The key is to compare Liu Jun with Ba Jun, that is, to compare him with the ancient emperor Zhou Muwang. This flattery really hits his sweet spot.

"Haha...Jing Ke can't talk nonsense, how dare I compare with King Zhou Mu."

Chen Jingke said seriously: "The deeds of King Zhou Mu are mostly just legends, and the authenticity is doubtful."

"Besides, the land of the Zhou Dynasty was only Kyushu, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty was several times this, and it will be ten times and a hundred times this in the future... One day your achievements will surpass all kings."

"In the future, everyone will only praise the six steeds of Zhenguan, not the unwarranted eight steeds."

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and will be the first emperor in the future."

Li Shimin's face was red with excitement, and his eyes almost narrowed into a line. He waved his hands again and again and said, "Haha... I'm too famous, I'm too famous, how dare I compare with the sages."

At this time, Jing Hengyan and Sheng Liwei took the lead and said: "Please give me the name of the Six Steeds, Your Majesty."

All the soldiers also asked in unison.

Li Shimin pretended to be helpless and said: "Hey, you are... well, if that's the case, then I'll have the audacity to name you Six Horses."

"Among my six mounts, White-hoofed Crow is a black horse, and Qingzhao is a pale horse. You can call them by these two names."

All the soldiers said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the name."

After the name was confirmed, in Li Shimin's eyes, the two teams and even the Baiqi Division became more friendly, and he couldn't help but praise a few more words.

The soldiers also expressed their loyalty to the king's affairs, forging ahead for the king and so on.

For a while, it was really a beautiful picture of the harmony between the monarch and his ministers.

Only Wei Zheng, watching from the sidelines, his eyelids twitched, what eight horses and six horses, what is comparable to the emperor of Zhou, what is the first emperor from ancient times... You are all flatterers.

Normally, he would have come out to spray, but the entire court situation was shrouded in mist, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Moreover, he knew Fang Xuanling and others well, and knew that these people were not the kind of flatterers.Then they suddenly praised the emperor like this, probably related to that meeting.

No, you have to figure out what happened that day as soon as possible.

……

After giving the name, Li Shimin walked around the camp again, seeing that it was getting late, he took his eldest grandson Wugou and others back to the palace, Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaidao and others also dispersed.

After Chen Jingke sent everyone away, he turned around and said to the smiling crowd, "How do you feel?"

Jing Hengyan suddenly bowed deeply to him and said, "Thank you, Master, for your teaching."

The others also said in unison: "Thank you, Master, for teaching."

Chen Jingke said with relief: "My hard work is not in vain, I only hope that you can serve the court in the future, and don't lose my face."

All the generals said: "You must not disappoint the real person."

Chen Jingke nodded and said: "Okay, I won't say anything unnecessary, you go celebrate, I should go too."

Jing Hengyan asked to stay: "Really, why don't you stay and celebrate with everyone?"

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Chen Jingke did not insist, and said: "Okay, then I will not leave today, everyone will kill pigs and sheep to celebrate."

"Okay, enough wine and meat today, everyone is happy." Sheng Liwei raised his arms and cheered.

"Oh!!!" All the soldiers cheered.

Alcohol is naturally undrinkable, and if you dare to drink in the military camp, you are making yourself uncomfortable.But the meat is indeed enough, and everyone can't eat it.

Chen Jingke didn't go back at night, so he stayed in the camp.

This was his first time staying in a military camp, but he didn't feel anything special.

He doesn't have the habit of recognizing his bed, and he can sleep anywhere when he's sleepy.The conditions in the military camp were indeed not as good as those at home, but in his capacity he could naturally enjoy special treatment, and the conditions were not bad.

All in all just fine.

Lying on the bed, Chen Jingke let out a long sigh of relief. After half a year of training, Baiqisi finally had the look he wanted.

Although it is still far from the appearance in his mind, it has already reached the limit that can be achieved at the moment.

As for the original estrangement caused by the difference in status, it disappeared silently not long after the team was established.

What Baiqisi lacks the most now is actual combat. If he can pass this test, he will be considered truly formed.

However, the probability of them going to the battlefield in a short period of time is not high, mainly because their number is too small, and it is difficult to change anything on the battlefield.

Unless Li Shimin's royal conquest, they will go to the battlefield as personal soldiers.Or expand, expand a hundred rides into a thousand rides.

Judging from the fact that hundreds of people in Datang dared to charge tens of thousands of enemies, Qianqi was enough to be alone.

In the short term, there is no possibility of Li Shimin's personal conquest, so expansion is the best way. It seems that it is necessary to put the expansion plan on the agenda.

It just happened to be able to take advantage of the opportunity of expansion to bring in a few talents selected by myself.

Just thinking about it all the time, he didn't know when he fell asleep.

In the morning, he was woken up by the sound of the soldiers going out to exercise. During the half-dream, he subconsciously said: "Yi Nu, Yu Zhu, get up."

It was only after he finished speaking that he came to his senses. This is a military camp, so there is no maid to serve him.Couldn't help sighing, got up and put on his clothes.

Hearing the commotion inside, someone outside the door said: "Really, are you awake? I'll bring you water."

Chen Jingke said casually: "Come in, just let the water go."

When I got dressed and was about to wash my face, I realized that it was Yi Liang who brought the water, so I asked, "So it was you, you played well yesterday."

Yi Liang said: "Hey, just because I performed well yesterday, the big guy gave me this opportunity to perform."

Chen Jingke couldn't help laughing, and said: "You are honest, but it's useless to behave in front of me. I don't care if you can get promoted."

Yi Liang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he is useful or not, it's always right to show more performance."

Chen Jingke finished washing while the two were talking and laughing, and went to the school field outside together to see everyone running.

Chen Jingke also jogged for two laps at the end, and then began to practice Tai Chi.

The soldiers of the Baiqi Division collectively practiced "military boxing". The so-called military boxing is the basic boxing method circulated in the army. The moves are relatively simple, mainly based on opening and closing.

He stayed here until almost noon before leaving. First, he went to Longshouyuan Royal Hunting Ground and communicated with Sun Simiao through the guards.

Six batches of vaccinia experiments have been carried out, and now the seventh batch is being done—Sun Simiao himself is the subject of the second batch of experiments.

As for why so many experiments are done, it is naturally for stability.It's smallpox, after all, and you can't be too careful.

There must be enough experimental samples to summarize the different reactions of different people after vaccination to ensure nothing goes wrong.

The results were gratifying. The six batches of subjects all returned to normal and possessed immunity to smallpox.

As for the day to end the experiment, Sun Simiao chose the end of June and the beginning of July, that is, after the seventh batch of experimental subjects had fully recovered.

That is, there are still half a month to 20 days, which is not too long.

After reporting Sun Simiao's safety, Chen Jingke returned to Zixiao Temple with his guards.

As soon as he returned to his own yard, he saw Yi Nu and Yuzhu standing on the corridor of the pond, and said happily: "My lord, look what this is."

Chen Jingke walked to them, looked into the water curiously, and suddenly found a group of small red dots floating on the water.

He was pleasantly surprised: "The koi has produced seeds? When did you find out?"

Yuzhu said happily: "We found it yesterday, and we counted more than 200 of them."

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, you two have contributed to raising fish, tell me what reward you want."

A blush suddenly appeared on Yi Nu's face, and he said, "The koi came later than us and gave birth to seeds, and they want a baby too."
