I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

No matter how hard the Qing court in the north was, the smoother it was in the south.

Wu Changqing even has time for leisure and entertainment. Many important projects have already entered the right track. Next, he just needs to be patient and wait for them to develop and grow.

He only needs to grasp the general direction, and he will not take care of other small problems encountered in the development, and rely on the wisdom of his subordinates to solve them by himself.

He knows that human intelligence cannot be underestimated. Many inventions and creations are just unexpected, not impossible. Under Wu Changqing's prompt, many things have been invented.

For example, the crawler technology and gear technology that match the machine, etc., these are all ideas that others have come up with, and Wu Changqing has never pointed them out.

Seeing that other people are so reliable, Wu Changqing can relax properly.

There is not much entertainment in this era, and listening to opera is a more popular one, but Wu Changqing doesn't like it.

This is purely personal taste. No matter whether those Peking operas are national quintessence or not, he can't listen to them, and he will feel embarrassed to listen to them.

Relatively speaking, he prefers movies, chess or ball games.

Movies don’t need to be counted on for the time being. With the current level of technology, it’s still difficult to get them out. It’s too wasteful to spend technology points on this kind of entertainment. It’s better to wait for it to appear naturally.

With the rapid development of the overall level of science and technology, its movies will definitely appear earlier than the original time and space.

Playing chess is also relatively boring. The level of the female family members in the family is too poor. When playing with other ministers, those people dare not beat him.

There is no movie, no chess, then only watching penalty games.

At present, only Cuju is more popular in ball games.

Cuju was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and reached its peak in the Song Dynasty.

There were many emperors in the Song Dynasty who loved to watch Cuju, so that people who were good at Cuju could become high officials, such as golf.

For another example, when some emperors fled, they even lost their troops, and in the end they wanted to keep the royal Cuju team by their side.

Although these records are somewhat exaggerated, it is an indisputable fact that Cuju was once popular.

But after the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the ban on Cuju in the army, and no one knows the reason. Maybe just like Wu Changqing didn't like Peking Opera, Zhu Yuanzhang might not like Cuju by nature.

However, Cuju was banned in the military, and Cuju was retained among the people.

At this time, there are two kinds of Cuju, one is to fight against the goal, the other is to play the ball, and this is the favorite of women.

Some female Cuju masters are said to be able to bounce the ball for a day without the ball hitting the ground. If this technology is put aside in the 21st century, it can be selected for the men's national football team.

And men Cuju, mostly like a bit of a confrontational shot.

However, in Cuju, the goal is very small and very high off the ground. It is very difficult to hit the goal, which is several times larger than that of football in later generations.

This also leads to the lack of viewing of Cuju. If there is no goal in a game, it is naturally meaningless to watch.

Only by scoring goals can we mobilize the passion of pseudo-fans.

Among the ten fans, it is good that two or three can understand the tactical cooperation.

Therefore, Wu Changqing decided to revise the current Cuju rules according to the football of later generations to make it easier to score goals and enhance the viewing experience.

Wu Changqing asked people to create a few more suitable balls for confrontation, named them footballs, and brought them to the barracks.

In the barracks, most of the soldiers are doing some relatively relaxed training. After all, they are resting, and they are not as fortunate as they were training before.

Some soldiers close to home can even go back on vacation.

"Are there any literate people who think they are smarter, stand up."

Wu Changqing came to a main group, called those people together and shouted.

No one knew what Wu Changqing was going to do, but some brave soldiers had already stood up.

Wu Changqing counted, there are more than 20, enough to be divided into two teams.

"Does anyone know how to play Cuju?"

Wu Changqing continued to ask, and some of them raised their hands.

Although Wu Changqing still abides by the Ming Dynasty on the surface, he has long since abolished the rule that Cuju is not allowed in the army. Sometimes appropriate leisure sports can play a relaxing role, which is beneficial to the mental health of soldiers.

Moreover, Cuju can also exercise coordination ability.

"I have revised the rules of Cuju, so you can remember them first. Later, the game will be divided into two teams. The winning team will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and the scorer will be rewarded with 22 taels of silver for each goal scored."

Wu Changqing asked people to distribute the booklet with the football rules written on it, and then returned to the high platform to wait for the start of the game.

When the soldiers were familiar with the rules, someone had already painted the field with lime and installed the goal.

"One hundred taels for a win, twenty taels for a goal, did you hear me, you bastard. You didn't listen to me when I told you to read and write seriously when you went to night school. When I get back to my hometown, I'll tell your father, see if he doesn't. beat you to death."

A middle-aged man slapped a 16- or 17-year-old boy on the head. The two of them were fellow villagers in the same village.

Because he was relatively old, the parents of the teenager asked him to take care of him.

The big man was also very careful, and repeatedly told the young man to read more while he was in night school, so that he could become an artilleryman or an officer in the future. It's a pity that this young man is playful, and he didn't learn many words.

And now, because illiterate misses

It's a pity to have a chance to earn a silver reward.

Earning silver on the battlefield requires hard work, how can it be fun to play football now.

"I didn't know the general would like to watch Cuju, but if I knew I would go to practice every day."

The young man groaned.

There are many soldiers who have the same idea as him, and they didn't even think that if they were killed, they could still earn rewards for playing football. If I knew earlier, I should have stood up boldly.

And now, they can only watch those people make money.

Those soldiers who have been selected, their hearts are racing with excitement.

In order to perform better, they seriously looked at the rules made by Wu Changqing.

Most of the rules are relatively easy to understand, and some soldiers who have played Cuju can understand it at a glance. Of course, there are two or three of them that are more difficult to understand, such as offside and penalty kicks.

The commander didn't give them much time. After half an hour, they were sent on the field and started the confrontation.

At the beginning, due to the unfamiliarity with the rules, both sides fouled frequently, and the referee's whistle sounded one after another.

"Trash, do you want to embarrass yourself in front of the general?"

Its head, Liu Shiyuan, scolded him vigorously. He couldn't even do this trivial thing well. How could he say that he was an elite.

Seeing that the regiment commander was angry, and thinking that Wu Changqing was watching in person, the soldiers became more serious.

However, except for a few geniuses, others were not able to immediately grasp the rules and corresponding skills even if they were serious. There is a big difference between the skills required for Cuju and football.

However, there were also a few who played well and even scored goals. On the whole, however, they performed poorly.

"Let them practice again, and I will come over to watch when I have time. I can also use this as entertainment at ordinary times, so that the soldiers can relax."

Wu Changqing looked dull and left first.

If they want to see a wonderful game, it will take some time for them to become proficient in the rules, skills and tactics.

And this will be an inevitable event, what is good at the top, and what will be worse at the bottom.

When other people know that Wu Changqing likes to watch football, the sport must be able to develop rapidly.
