Chapter 36 Gao Li and Modern Football

Open the search bar and enter Guozu and Gao Lian.

The search results that Ming Xunze originally thought of would still be some posts discussing whether modern football was invented by Gao Lian.But I didn't expect that the results of this search were basically news that I had never seen before.

"The World Cup group stage is halfway through, whether the national football team can change their fate against the sky and successfully qualify." '

After a small loss to Russia and a draw with Uruguay, the national football team has little hope of qualifying. '

'The former World Cup runner-up is now getting worse and worse, who should be responsible for the national football team. '

'The whole group stage was sleepwalking. If Gao Qiu saw the performance of the national football team, he would be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin again. '

Eh? !

Why did the World Cup start all of a sudden?And the schedule is already over halfway? !
Jiao Xunze originally thought that there was something wrong with the search results, so he got a bunch of old news for him.But looking at the release time of the news, which was basically within the past few days, I immediately understood that the early start of the World Cup may have something to do with the historical changes caused by Gao Lian.

He didn't bother to check how the national football team reached the World Cup this time. He asked Xunze to save the last time as a bookmark and click to open Gao Qiu's encyclopedia page to view Gao Qiu's encyclopedia introduction.

Gao Lian, the maker of modern football rules and the inventor of the wooden bicycle.

Sure enough, this time Gao Li's encyclopedia has two more titles than when I asked Xun Ze to read it last time.

One is the inventor of the wooden bicycle. Needless to say, Xunze taught Gao Qi how to make a wooden bicycle. Gao Qi will definitely make a wooden bicycle and dedicate it to Song Huizong.

Although at the beginning, wooden bicycles were only popular in the elite circle because of the complicated manufacturing method and low practicality.However, the emergence of wooden bicycles added another means of transportation to ancient China. After hundreds of years of optimization and improvement, wooden bicycles gradually became popular, and until now, there are a large number of wooden bicycles among the people.

After all, bicycles have an incomparable advantage: they are not only cheaper than oxen and horses, but they also don’t need to eat grass to refuel.

Although the wooden bicycle does not have a handbrake, in fact, this thing can't run fast. Even if it falls, it will cause minor injuries at most. It is very suitable for riding in the city.

After casually looking at the introduction of wooden bicycles, Xun Ze went to read the introduction article on the relationship between Gao Qi and the development of modern football.

The origin and development of modern football.

Author: Dong Yunli

As we all know, modern football, as a sport popular all over the world, originated in China, and most of the rules were formulated as early as ancient China.But what is little known is that the reason why modern football appeared was not just to entertain people at the beginning, but also as a training method to improve the military's combat capabilities.

In 1113 AD, during the Song Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, Gao Qiu, who had previously served in the frontier army, was transferred back to the capital by Song Huizong because of his meritorious service in writing medical books, and was in charge of more than 20 forbidden troops.

The reason why Song Huizong appointed Gao Qiu as the commander of the forbidden army is very simple. It is because with the development of the Song Dynasty's conscription policy for the purpose of maintaining stability, the combat capabilities of the Song Dynasty's inland troops have become lower and lower, including those responsible for defending the capital. Forbidden army.

The huge number of forbidden troops not only have not been on the battlefield, but also rarely trained, which has brought a huge burden to the court and also increased social instability.

Therefore, Song Huizong hoped that the Forbidden Army would have certain combat capabilities.

As one of the few capable ministers at that time who could do practical things, Gao Qiu naturally accepted the job without hesitation.

But after Gao Lian took charge of the Forbidden Army, he realized that this was not an easy matter.Because the entire Forbidden Army not only has low willingness to fight, but is also unwilling to undergo rigorous training, rashly training the Forbidden Army according to the standards of the frontier army can easily lead to mutiny in the army.

Therefore, after reading the military books of previous dynasties, Gao Li discovered an excellent method of training troops, which is to improve the Cuju movement that appeared in the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, which was popular in the army to train the forbidden army.

After half a month of preparation, Gao Qiu changed Cuju to football, and stipulated that kicking could only be done with feet, not with hands, and fighting or kicking each other was not allowed. The area of ​​the field should be uniform, and the goal should be composed of two bamboo poles spaced apart. The distance is certain, and the stadium used for competition must add a net for the goal and a series of regulations.

Although these regulations seem to be mediocre now.But you must know that before the rules of Chinese football were introduced to the UK, the British even allowed them to touch the ball with their hands. It was not until 1848 that the British formally established a football league after learning the modern Chinese football rules.Those clubs and players who did not agree with the rules of Chinese football founded the Rugby Union in 1871. (The author really can't imagine that rugby and football used to be the same sport.)
In addition to setting up rules, Gao Lian also created a football club system.He divided the 20 banned troops into [-] major divisions, and each division selected players who played football well, formed football clubs, and then competed with each other.It was also the predecessor of the modern football league.

Using a movement to improve the combat capabilities of the Imperial Army was something that no official in the imperial court could have imagined before.And many people raised objections, believing that Gao Qiu's move might lead to the corruption of the Forbidden Army.

However, with the support of Song Huizong, Gao Li successfully formed the Great Song Forbidden Army Football League.Moreover, in order to save money, Gao Lian also allowed the citizens of the capital at that time to go to the football field of the military camp to watch football matches.

Compared with previous cuju, modern football is more entertaining and suspenseful.Therefore, with the efforts of Gao Lian, football quickly became popular in the capital, and a group of football players who were familiar to most citizens at that time were born.

For example, Lin Chong, the captain of the Liangshan football team in the Song Dynasty, Li Kui, the striker of the Shuibo football team, and Shi Jin, the defender of the Shaohuashan football team.In order to promote football, Gao Li deliberately compiled the information of these [-] famous football players into a book, named it [-] Football Generals, and sold them to the public at a low price.Because, in human history, the concept of football stars was born for the first time.

Gao Lian's football reform was not only popular among the people, but also made many high-ranking officials and nobles often go to the stadium to watch football. Through serving these people, Gao Lian also obtained a large sum of money to make up for the losses of the Imperial Army , which made Song Huizong very happy.

How much football improved the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army at that time, it is impossible to verify in modern times.But there is no doubt that modern football was born in China.

Today, although in the wave of commercial reforms, our country's national football team has changed from a strong team that can reach the World Cup finals to a bottom team that has been eliminated in the group stage, Gao Qiu's contribution to modern football is worthy of our Remember.

Finally, I wish the national football team a smooth appearance in this World Cup. (Although there is little hope.)
Note: The idea of ​​Leopard Head Lin Chong, captain of the Song Dynasty football team, came from a book review by reader Midnight Xuanyuan Qin.The daily task of copying book reviews is completed √.
