Chapter 3 Cheng Yaojin, the father of football
Yang Yi carried the load back to Chongxianfang's own home, pushed open the small door and greeted it inside: "I'm back."
A few coughs came from the inner room, which was considered to be a reply to him.
Twelve years ago, Yang Yi followed the Taoist Yuan Tiangang out of Zhongnan Mountain and came to the Jingzhao Mansion of the Tang Dynasty, also known as Chang'an City. Yuan Tiangang said that Chang'an City is the largest city in the world, and the people living in this city are more than in the sky.
There are more stars.
Yang Yi didn't know how many stars there were in the sky, but he felt that there were definitely not as many people in Chang'an City.
He followed Yuan Tiangang to wander around Chang'an City for two years. In the past two years, he also saw that Yuan Tiangang is not an ordinary Taoist priest or Taoist priest because he knew too many people, and they were all very powerful people.
They all called him Tiangangzi Yuan Tiangang, and these very powerful people respected him very much.
In the past two years, Yang Yi didn't know how to find who he was, so he could only follow Yuan Tiangang around. Maybe someone knew him? As a result, he got nothing in two years.
Originally, he wanted to follow Yuan Tiangang to the south of the Tang Dynasty, but he was left behind and stayed in Chang'an City.
Ten years ago, he followed Yuan Tiangang to the Yulin Guard General, and Duke Lu, Cheng Zhijie's mansion, was spotted by General Cheng at first sight. Because Yang Yi was very tall, he was much taller than ordinary Tang people, and he was also more than most Yulin Guards.
He is brave and tall, and Yang Yi is not only tall but also strong, but also looks quite generous. General Cheng believes that it would be very decent to put Yang Yi in his own general guard.
So, Yang Yi stayed in Chang'an City for no reason and became the escort school of Yulinwei for no reason. Yuan Tiangang went to the south alone, and he said he was going to Shu County.
Cheng Zhijie thought he had picked up a treasure, but he soon regretted it because Yang Yi knew nothing except for being arrogant, and he was also very stupid and could not learn anything. When performing martial arts in the school, Yang Yi even had Yulinwei's
Even the guys can't beat it.
The guy is not as tall as Yang Yi's shoulder pole.
It is rare to be able to read. Cheng Zhijie asked him to copy documents in the government office, but the ugly words were like forcing him to throw them on his face.
But Cheng Zhijie couldn't drive Yang Yi away because he patted Yuan Tiangang's chest.
So Yang Yi was eating and drinking all day long at the Yulin Guard General's Mansion under the name of a decent waste.
But soon Cheng Zhijie knew that Yang Yi was not a waste, but on the contrary, he was a great talent.
In the past, when Zhou and Qianqi were in war, they mainly relied on cavalry, with horses everywhere, and then it became popular to play polo. In the past, the Sui Dynasty also played, and in the Tang Dynasty, they were even more enjoyable.
The generals of the Tang Dynasty not only fought themselves, but also fought with the visiting Tubo and Turkic polo teams.
Polo was the number one sport in the Tang Dynasty.
When playing polo, you need good horses. Dayuan horses and big-food horses are the best. Raising horses is very expensive. Raising a good horse is more expensive than raising two hundred Yulin guards like Yang Yi.
Later, after the war was over, the court could not afford to raise so many horses, so all the good horses were given to Li Jing, Li Ji and Hou Junji, because they wanted to fight against Goryeo, Turks, and Tuyuhun. No one else needed to fight.
Thomas.
With fewer horses, many troops cannot afford to play polo. On the contrary, more and more polo teams are organized by rich businessmen.
Cheng Zhijie was a polo fan. At most, his Yulin Guard had three polo teams, and they were all domineering. But later, the good horses were old or dead, and the court did not add any more to the Yulin Guard.
It's right to think about it. What should I do if a Yulin Guard, who is bounded by Zhuque Street and is responsible for the protection of the inner city of Chang'an County, want so many good horses that can fight in the field? Just have some slow horses and pack horses that can ride, and you can still pull them.
It's enough for food or something, and eating grass.
Dayuan horses and Dashi horses have to feed sperm beans and eggs. Yulinwei like Yang Yi can't eat a few eggs all year round.
But if the horses and pack horses cannot get off the polo field, they cannot do the job.
Cheng Zhijie's polo is no longer possible, polo, polo, you can still play a ball without a horse. Cheng Zhi's solar term is always looking for trouble in the mansion and scolding people all day long.
One day he thought Yang Yi was a fool and wanted to hammer him. Yang Yi said, "General, don't hit me quickly. I'll give you an idea. It should be more fun than polo."
Yang Yi likes to watch polo. Although he doesn't even ride a horse right, he thinks polo is very familiar, but why is it familiar but he can't say it.
Cheng Zhijie didn't hammer him, and Yang Yi said: "No horse is needed, our Yulin Guard can kick it with his feet."
Cheng Zhijie wanted to hammer him again, Yang Yi hugged his head and said, "You can try it first, it's not too late to beat me if it's not fun, anyway, I can't escape."
Cheng Zhijie felt that his shameless appearance was very charming when he was young.
Just try it, this thing is called Cuju.
Yang Yi changed Cuju's romantic eye to goal, and the ball became a little bigger than Cuju and polo. The rattan strips were weaved and covered with buffalo leather slits.
It is still a polo field. Yang Yi divided the 20 people on each side into three rows. He named him the forward, midfielder, and guard, and a goalkeeper standing at the door. Yang Yi originally called this goalkeeper, but Cheng Zhijie said: "Get the hammer."
Only generals can call generals.”
So I had to call the Sect Official, who was the only one among the 20 people who could catch the ball with their hands.
Yang Yi didn't know why he was so familiar with this, and he learned it without a teacher. Thinking about it carefully, he had never even played Cuju before.
Cheng Zhijie called this "Xin Cuju". He was born as a military general. When the world was in chaos, he began to follow Zhang Xutuo and chop people's heads everywhere. Therefore, Cheng Zhijie said that he had studied before, but Yang Yi did not believe it.
Yang Yi said: "General, no matter whether it is new or old, as long as you call Cuju, it has nothing to do with you. Only by giving a brand new name can the people of the Tang Dynasty know that it was General that you invented this new thing."
Cheng Zhijie said: "Which donkey day will you say you are a fool? I will use an axe to chop him."
Yang Yi said that since he was kicking, he would just call it football. Cheng Zhijie originally wanted to say it was 'Cheng Qiu'. After thinking about it, he felt that Cheng's basketball was kicked all day long, so he didn't open his mouth. So, this new
The thing called football.
Yang Yi felt familiar with football, but he couldn't kick it. He couldn't hit it or run away when he hit it. He finally caught it and could kick it, but the ball didn't kick it and flew away from the tree branch.
The man lay on the ground and his waist was dodging.
He is still a fool. The other Yulin Guards played well in two days.
Football does not require horses or clever riding skills. The threshold is much lowered, but because of the stronger sense of participation, it is more attractive than polo.
Jingzhao Prefecture is bounded by Zhuque Street, with Chang'an County to the west and Wannian County to the east. Chang'an County is Yulin Guard, Wannian County is Jinwu Guard, and the General of Jinwu Guard is Yin Kaishan, Duke of Yunguo.
Old Cheng is gone, what can Lao Yin have? So football became popular almost at the same time in the Yulin Guard and Jinwu Guard, and then became popular in the entire Chang'an City.
People in Chang'an love to play. Now there are several football games in the city every day. I heard that a businessman and the inventor of football, Cheng Zhijie, are discussing that football should be formalized in Chang'an City and become a circular game. They call this
League.
Cheng Zhijie thought that Yang Yi was really a damn talent, so in order to reward him, he told him about his wife. The general was a matchmaker, so he was naturally a woman from a wealthy family.
Juxianlou is indeed the largest winery in West Chang'an.
Luo Ji is a Hu girl from Juxianlou, with blond hair, blue eyes, high nose and deep eyes. She said she was a beauty in her hometown, but the Tang people couldn't appreciate her, and they all thought she was a little ugly. Luo Ji said that her hometown was very far away.
The place of Romankoshi Mountain was bought and sold to the Tang Dynasty.
People in Chang'an don't know where Romankoshi Mountain is, but they all call her Roji, who means the dancer from Romankoshi Mountain. Anyway, she doesn't have a name at all.
People in Chang'an think Roji is ugly, but they all admit that her Hu Xuanwu dances well and is the best Hu girl in Xishi.
After dancing Hu Xuanwu in Juxianlou for ten years, Roji became old and became uglier. Juxianlou thought it was inappropriate to keep her and wanted to give her to the bean seller as a foot dealer.
Warm the bed.
Foot merchants are not picky about food, and for the convenience of business, more than a dozen people are used to bringing only one woman in bed warming. They are too busy to be busy all night while warming the bed, and are usually tortured to death soon.
In the proud Tang Dynasty, the Hu people were worthless and not as good as animals.
Cheng Zhijie likes polo, football, and Hu Xuanwu. He is also a general who cares about beauty. He has been watching Roji's Hu Xuan for several years and feels sorry for her, so he said, "I'll find you an honest person, you can marry me."
Let's live a good life."
There is no one more honest person than Yang Yi, so Roji became Yang Yi's wife more than two years ago, and he moved from the Cheng Mansion's woodshed to Chongxianfang. Old Cheng was very righteous and gave him
I bought a small house without a yard here.
Maybe because Yang Yi is from the mountain and is different from Chang'an, he doesn't think Roji is ugly at all. Instead, he thinks she is pretty, so he likes this wife very much and treats her very well.
But Roji has become sick all these years of acting. Not long after marrying Yang Yi, she became more and more serious, and gradually it became difficult for her to get up.
Luo Ji said: "Yilang, the Tang Dynasty is not good, but you are the only one in the Tang Dynasty. Luo Ji cannot serve you well in this life. If there is a next life, I will definitely repay my kindness."
Yang Yi didn't think about the next life because he didn't even know who he was.
Rogi said: "My hometown is in Romankoshi Mountain. If you pass by there in the future, Yilang, remember to bring my ashes back to your hometown, and Rogi will repay you in the next life."
Yang Yi told her not to talk nonsense, and then fed her half a jar of soup and then served her to go to bed again.
The next night, Yang Yi returned to Chongxianfang from the General's Mansion. When he entered the house, Luo Ji did not respond to him with a cough.
