Chapter 217 Military Competition

Outside Yidu City, a special competition is underway. The organizer of the event is Eastern Mongolia, but not only the soldiers from Eastern Mongolia, but also the invited soldiers of the Khanate.

Wang Wentong, the chief secretary of the Western Army, was the planner of this event!

Although the relationship between the Khanate and Eastern Mongolia is not so close. In fact, it is still the relationship between the defenders of the traditional order and the challengers of the new order. But in the end, it is not a breakup, and a friendly match is the best regulator when there are foreign enemies.

Moreover, the content of the event is quite rich! Not only are there traditional archery, horse riding, wrestling, etc., but also the Cuju competition that emerged in Eastern Mongolia last year.

In fact, in the Central Plains, the history of playing Cuju has been around for a long time. However, in Eastern Mongolia, Ulutus introduced later competition rules and regulations, making Cuju's rules more perfect and interesting.

Moreover, in combination with the environment of this era, the Cuju competition is divided into two types: the Ma Chuju competition and the Ordinary Cuju competition. In today's competition, these two Cuju competitions are included in the competition.

At the moment in a temporary stand, Ulan Reba looked at the Western Army's Cuju team and couldn't help but shout. And on the side of the Khan Court, whether it was the Han Shihou or the Mongolian general Bolu, were silent.

Observing their faces, Ulaanbari couldn't help but feel even better. He said to Wang Wentong beside him: "Brother Wang! No wonder the king asked you to serve as the clerk of the Western Army. It turned out that he was not useless as a scholar! Alas! They were all bullying me! The ancients bullied me!"

As a scholar, Ulaanbari's words are not very nice. But Wang Wentong knew Ulaanbari's carefreeness and said whatever he thought of. He didn't care: "The king of the country is very talented and wise, and I am lucky to be appreciated in my whole life!"

In fact, according to Wang Wentong's original idea, he planned to follow the Mongolian mission back to Beijing and work hard to deal with the Beijing exam. Unfortunately, the newly established Western Army clerk had a vacant vacancy and had to be sent to take charge. In addition, he had enough weight to go to the Central Plains and understood the situation in the Central Plains. Therefore, after combining Wang Wentong's excellent performance on his mission, Ulutus finally asked Wang Wentong to follow the Western Army to fight.

Wang Wentong was not very repulsive to be able to return to the Han area. Although the great governor of Ulaanbari was a little arrogant, it was not difficult to get along with. During these days he had been with the army, his sense of belonging to the Western Army became increasingly heavy.

At this moment, when the Western Army was able to suppress the Khan Court on the field, I was very happy from the heart. But as the organizer, I had to worry about the feelings that were still considered friendly troops. So I said to the Khan Court to fight against the thieves: "General Zhang, your troops should rarely come into contact with Cuju, right? If you contact them frequently, our soldiers from East Mongolia would definitely not win so easily."

"Haha, due to the military discipline, Cuju's devastating behavior is naturally unwilling to do things like Cuju." Zhang Rou replied with a smile, but the words were not very nice. In fact, the reason why Cuju was not popularized in the army of Han Shihou was because they did not have many regular soldiers on weekdays.

When there was no war, almost all farmers were busy in the fields. It was even more uncomfortable to expect them to give up the crops in the fields and kick the tiring and time-consuming Cuju than killing them. This is also a matter of people's livelihood.

When material life is basically guaranteed and full and well-dressed, the people will naturally pursue spiritual enjoyment. In the army, Eastern Mongolia is full of full-time soldiers. Their daily tasks are only training. In addition to training, Cuju also has certain benefits for teamwork and strengthening the body, so Ulutus took the initiative to promote it in the army.

Cuju events are held regularly. So in the army, even new recruits who have just joined the army will be good at playing Cuju as long as they stay for three months.

When Wang Wentong touched Zhang Rou's thought of being sour in the grapes, he touched his not-so-basked beard and said, "The Western Army was established for too short, and the soldiers were still playful. Before this, most of the soldiers were still civilians. Elite and diligent veterans like the Khan Court, it would not be embarrassing to lose to the Western Army."

"Hmph! We lost Cuju. But when shooting archery and riding horses, we may not lose to such a civilian." Wu Xian replied angrily as Wang Wentong's sarcastic words.

Wang Wentong nodded with a smile, which was considered to be acknowledging Wu Xian's answer. But this behavior was more like perfunctory.

Bolu was also in the stands, and had no intention of participating in the fight between his military generals and Eastern Mongolian officials. He just observed the postures shown by the Eastern Mongolian soldiers on the field, on the stands, and even further away on the mail towers.

It has to be said that it is really easy to distinguish between soldiers from soldiers from soldiers from Khan.

First of all, in terms of height, the soldiers in Eastern Mongolia are above seven feet, at most no more than nine feet. Therefore, they do not look particularly uneven. On the side of the Khan Court, because the soldiers and horses are private soldiers of various marquises, the conditions for screening soldiers are different. Some are seven or eight feet, and some are five or six feet, so there are even layers that vary greatly in height.

In addition, in terms of body shape, all the soldiers in Eastern Mongolia looked relatively strong without exception. After personally experiencing the meals of the soldiers in Eastern Mongolia, he also understood the reason why these soldiers were strong. After all, there was meat every day, and it was difficult to not be strong. On the side of the Khan Court, most of the soldiers were relatively thin, and they were also fed with corn and flour cakes. If they were eaten before the war, they could only be served before the war, and they could only see minced meat that was so small that they could not be even tiny. After cooking in a large pot, let alone minced meat, even the taste of meat was mixed in unknown wild vegetables. If they didn't smell it carefully, they could not smell it.

Finally, in terms of momentum, the Eastern Mongolian soldiers give people the feeling of being unyielding. Whether facing the robe, the soldiers of the Khan Court, or even their commanders, they respect and fear them. It is as if each of them confidently believes that they are the best soldier. On the other hand, ordinary soldiers in the Khan Court look numb and are also wary of the robe. When facing the robe with a commander with a higher grade than their own, they are even more panicked, timid, and dodged.

If you continue to observe, Bolu doesn't want to admit that these timid soldiers are the soldiers of the Khan Court.

Just at this moment, the whistle of the meal sounded. No matter what the soldiers on the court were doing, they immediately ran towards the place where they were eating like crazy. However, the side of the temple immediately gathered into small teams, and then gathered into a large team. Then they took neat steps and rushed to the place where they were eating.
