Smuggling Daming

Zhou Zhong got up very early every day during this period. First, he entered the palace to greet Queen Mother Zhang, and by the way, played with the children living in the palace. Speaking of which, Queen Mother Zhang loved Xia Xia very much, so Since the reunion, they were allowed to temporarily live in the palace for a period of time, after all, Queen Mother Zhang was usually too lonely.

After leaving Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhou Zhong would come to the Leopard Room where Zhengde lived, and then accompany Zhengde or chat, or create some new things for Zhengde to play, such as badminton and bowling, which are not considered by Zhou Zhong at all. What, and Zhengde also likes these sports games the most, so he enjoys playing them every day.

Speaking of Zhou Zhong's offering of badminton to Zhengde, if it was put in normal times, it would definitely arouse the disgust of the ministers in the court, and they might even attack them together. Spend more time with Zhengde and reduce the contact time between His Majesty and Jiang Bin. Therefore, Li Dongyang and others turned a blind eye to Zhou Zhong's actions in the palace. Even when they learned that Jiang Bin hadn't seen His Majesty for a month, All of them are only concerned with being happy, and as for Zhengde having fun every day and ignoring the government, they have long been used to it. Anyway, it is nothing new that the emperor of Ming Dynasty does not go to court.

Zhou Zhong brought a big thing when he entered the palace today. When he went to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Zhang, the things he brought were sent to the Leopard Room where Zhengde lived. When Zhou Zhong left Queen Mother Zhang and came to the Leopard Room, he saw Zhengde circled around the things he sent, apparently wanting to play but didn't know how to play.

"Second brother, you are here. The person who sent it only knew it was called billiards, but he didn't know how to play it. After studying for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what these small balls are for. Come and teach me quickly. Teach me!" Zhengde said excitedly when he saw Zhou Zhong coming in.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhong walked forward with a smile, picked up the triangular basket and collected the scattered billiards on the table. There are sixteen balls on the table, one of which is a white ball, which is called a punching ball, and people participating in billiards can hit the punching ball with a club to hit other balls. There are three types of balls that are hit, One is a color ball, the other is a monochrome ball, plus the only black ball number [-]..."

Zhou Zhong briefly explained the rules of billiards. Of course, there is only one kind of billiards that Zhou Zhong can play.That is the most popular Chinese eight-ball game in later generations of China, which requires two people to fight against each other.Just suitable for Zhou Zhong and Zhengde to play.Zhengde is also very smart. After listening to the rules of billiards, he immediately picked up the cue and urged to start. Zhou Zhong first showed Zhengde how to kick off and hit the ball, and then Zhengde couldn't wait to start the first game. Bureau.

With a crisp impact, Zhengde took the lead to kick off the ball, and it turned out that he was playing billiards for the first time.Can't control the angle at all, so that the rushing ball only hits the ball in the corner.Masanori couldn't help being a little annoyed that he couldn't score a goal at all.But Zhou Zhong just laughed and seized the opportunity to score several goals in a row. However, Zhou Zhong's billiard level is also very average. After scoring a few goals, he conceded again.

Although Zhou Zhong's technology is only average in later generations, European billiards have just been invented in this era, and the rules are very simple, which cannot be compared with later generations, so Zhou Zhong can be said to be the number one billiards of this era. A master, because he is the only one who can play this kind of billiards.

However, I have to say that Zhengde's athletic cells are very developed. After losing several rounds to Zhou Zhong, Zhengde finally mastered the skills of billiards. It actually ended in one shot, and Zhou Zhong didn't even touch the club.

Although billiards look simple, they are actually very fascinating. Zhou Zhong remembered that when he was a child, game consoles were not very popular at that time, and the streets and alleys were full of people playing billiards, and a large number of players surrounded each table. People, a few cents per game, can cover half a day for a few yuan, and some people even gamble with billiards. Zhou Zhong also learned billiards at that time, but he rarely played billiards when he grew up.

After Zhengde mastered the skill of hitting the ball, he immediately became addicted to it, and his billiard skills became better and better. Except for Zhou Zhong winning a few sets at the beginning, he almost lost more than he won in the end, and even at the end, They almost didn't win a game, and the two were not a heavyweight player at all.

"Haha, although this billiards was invented by you, my second brother, it's a pity that your skills are really not good!" After winning Zhou Zhong's game with two strokes again, Zhengde laughed complacently.

"Brother Huang is quick and agile, much better than younger brother!" Zhou Zhong also said with a helpless wry smile. He had to admit that his talent in billiards really couldn't be compared with Zhengde.

Seeing Zhou Zhong admitting defeat, Zhengde laughed loudly again, but then he was not interested in playing any more. After all, the level difference between the two is too great, but this does not mean that Zhengde is tired of billiards, on the contrary, Zhengde is still very interested in billiards. He has already made up his mind to let people make more billiards, and then let everyone around him start playing. At that time, there will definitely be some masters. With these masters playing with him, it will definitely be better than now. more interesting.

It was already noon at this time, and Zhengde asked people to prepare meals, Zhou Zhong, as usual, had lunch with Zhengde, and the two chatted while eating, sometimes talking about state affairs, but more often they were chatting Some anecdotes, this is Zhou Zhong's forte. After all, in the era of the knowledge explosion in the previous life, no matter whether it was intentional or not, Zhou Zhong was exposed to a wide range of knowledge. At least in the entire Ming Dynasty, there is no one who can compare with him.

The content of the chat between Zhou Zhong and Zhengde today revolves around billiards. After all, Zhengde is very interested in this sport, and Zhou Zhong has been sending him a lot of ball games during this time, so Zhengde really wants to know, Zhou In the end, how many similar sports have not been handed over.

Regarding Zhengde's question, Zhou Zhong was very complacent. After all, he has also seen the Olympic Games in later generations. He is not proficient in all kinds of sports, but he still knows the general process, even if he doesn't know the specific rules. , but the big deal is to add some of my own understanding to formulate some rules. Anyway, no one dares to say that his rules are wrong.

"Second brother, I heard that after you took over the military academy, you have added many new sports. Among them, a sport called football is very popular among the students. It even caused a wave when it spread to the capital. Yesterday I just heard about this incident from Dayong, and I haven’t come here to see football with my own eyes!" Zhengde said suddenly.

Hearing Zhengde mentioned the football he made in the military academy, Zhou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "Brother Huang, I have made a lot of playthings during this time, such as the badminton, bowling ball and In addition, several kinds of relatively strong confrontational sports are also promoted in the military academy, hoping to increase the competitive awareness and perseverance of the military academy students. Football is one of them, but in comparison, football is the most failure of Chendi A piece of work!"

"Oh? Why?" Zhengde was also very curious when he heard Zhou Zhong's words. The things Zhou Zhong sent up during this period were very interesting. It won't be so boring.

"This..." Zhou Zhong didn't seem to know how to answer Zhengde's words at this time, he hesitated before saying, "Brother Huang, let me tell you the rules of football first, the reason why football is called football, As the name suggests, it is a ball kicked with the feet, which is the same as Cuju in the Tang and Song Dynasties..."

Zhou Zhong briefly explained the rules of football. Cuju can be said to be the predecessor of football, but Cuju was popular in Tang and Song Dynasties, but in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of sport has declined. At least Zhou Zhong has been in Daming for so long. I have never seen anyone else play cuju.However, the football rules of later generations are much more complicated than the rules of Cuju. Fortunately, Zhengde is smart enough to understand the football rules explained by Zhou Zhong, and he also finds it very interesting.

But after Zhou Zhong finished talking about the rules of football, he said awkwardly: "Brother Huang, the rules of football are like this, but although I want the football team in the military academy to play football according to the rules, it's a pity that those gangs All the killers felt that there were too many rules in football and it was not enjoyable to play, so they changed the rules of football without authorization!"

Zhou Zhong couldn't help gnashing his teeth when he said it to the end. He was also a fake fan in later generations, so he also wanted to bring out football in Daming. It just so happened that the military academy lacked some confrontational games, so Zhou Zhong was here. Several football teams were organized in the military academy, and they wanted to slowly promote football through the military academy, but it was a pity that they fell short

"Changed? How did you change it?" Zhengde asked curiously.

"This..., if the emperor is interested, you can go to the military academy for a while. I remember that there will be a football match in the infantry department this afternoon, but it can't be called football anymore." Zhou Zhong mentioned football. The name smiled wryly again.

Seeing Zhou Zhong's expression, this made Zhengde very curious. He hurriedly had lunch, and then rode to the military academy. When they arrived at the game field, Zhengde finally understood why Zhou Zhong said that football can't be called It's for football.

As for the rules of football, Zhengde had already learned very clearly from Zhou Zhong just now, but when he saw the game going on on the field, he was stunned for a while, because he couldn't believe it. Tell him football again? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
