chapter six hundred and twenty nine.
This time, Wang Hou really invested a lot in order to win over the hearts of the people! The total output of molasses wine in the island city in the past few months is worth one hundred million jin. As prizes, wine rolls, armor, silver, lunch boxes for participants, venue fees, etc. If Cao Cao came, he might not be able to pay the money to hold an entertainment competition.
But! When did Wang Tiangao do a loss-making business?
Nomadic peoples are really in line with each other. Wrestling is not only the unique skill of later Mongolians, but is also popular among the pan-nomadic peoples such as Xianbei and Xiongnu. However, it is not called wrestling now, but it is called jiao.
Now the corners are around the left and right. No matter Hu Han, I don’t know how many people are sweating, but they are roaring with hoarse voices and shouting loudly.
Many people were even so excited that their eyes were red.
In the middle of the circle, two burly and tall men were shoulder to shoulder, arms, and with Manniu, hesitating and trying hard to push each other against each other. I guess if a young lady from later generations came to pass by, they would definitely scream here. The knotted muscles on the man's body were highlighted one by one, and the beads of sweat slid down along their bronze muscles, covering their exposed bodies and thick thighs with a layer of wet color.
However, these days, women usually work at home! For men’s muscle mass, the attraction is obviously not that great for the onlookers. What really excites them is the gambling volumes with numbers written on them.
How can such a grand event be missing? Qingzhou Yule Industry's number one leader and the tallest high-speed rail?
Just like later generations selling welfare lottery, several large tables were placed there, and a thick plate of movable type printed gambling scrolls were stacked there. There was a joke in later generations that the Inner Mongolia college entrance examination did not take cultural courses, but the test was to shoot archery, horses and roast all sheep through the desert. That was a joke, but it became real here. What made Dabo Gao dizzy was that he received more sheep than copper coins! The flock of sheep made him unable to help thinking whether he would invest money into General Wang’s “high-speed rail” project, and quickly repair the railway, so as to transport the sheep to the mainland faster, so as to save hunger and lose weight.
Looking at the flocks of sheep bleating there, the high-speed rail was not thinking about it at all, and what he did was close to five businesses!
Suddenly, a roar sounded in the circle with the corners, and the muscle mass on his body seemed to double in an instant. It was still Wang Hou's old acquaintance, with a Taoist bun on his head. The Wuhuan Taoist Priest Li Dao, who converted to my eternal fire in the Granary War, roared and performed an angry Vajra pose. He really hugged his opponent's arms like he was pulling the mountain, and he actually fooled him and threw the opponent out.
The ground seemed to tremble a few times in the sound of the gurgling sound, but the gamblers ignored whether the contestants who were thrown out had broken bones. How bad the fall was. They just threw the lottery ticket to the ground with red eyes, screaming and scolding.
Needless to say, no one was optimistic about this old man before, and now they are being cheated.
…………
The competition lasted for more than five days. For the entire grassland, a fish feast was really coming. Everyone was particularly happy. The 4,000-person horse racing competition! The galloping horses rushed across the field, and the knights lit their bows and shot on the targets hanging on the road. There were also wrestlers with strong bodies and heavy weights shook their arms and swung each other.
The sound of hissing and roaring with all his might is really a big open view for some herders who lack fish music in life.
The most important thing is the closing ceremony five days later. This time, the entire venue was opened, and more than 100,000 spectators were completely placed in front of the podium. Amid the cheers of the big guys, the three-tier men who won the championship came onto the podium one after another, took off the gold, silver and bronze armor that had been hot and draped on them. Then the ape roared excitedly at the crowded audience below.
"The first equestrian name at the First Xianbei Sports Conference! Qu Tuhaha!"
"The first Xianbei Sports Conference is the first to ride and shoot! Dugu Fuluoya!"
"The first wrestling star at the first Xianbei Sports Conference! Bu Liuguhe Laga!"
"The first Xianbei Movement Conference is the first to win! Helanxin!"
With the loud shouts of the conference host, the four wearing golden armor and gold helmets, who looked like holy gold beetles, walked to the highest level of the rostrum with a thunderous sound. Then, with a thunderous sound, they knelt on the ground neatly on one knee. Of course, they were not proposing to a princess, but the fat general Wang Hou, whose belly was gradually thrusting out. In their eyes, they were not Wang Hou, the fat general, but the free wine rolls with golden light in his hand.
He also knew that this skill was not nonsense and was full of smiles. Wang Hou handed out four free vouchers directly.
"Congratulations to the four heroes for being outstanding, overwhelming the heroes, standing out, and giving them fine wine to heroes. I hope the heroes will continue to work hard next year and win the championship!"
What the hell is Zhegui? This allusion will only appear during the Jin Dynasty when I don’t know if it can come out. But no matter what the hell is it, just drink it! The four Xianbei warriors also held the wine rolls in their hands and bowed their heads and thanked them.
"Thank you, General!"
Not only them, but also the silver armor and bronze armor players, and the top 400 top 100 players below, the prizes and prizes were also distributed together. More than 400 best players in each division were all attracted by Wang Hou!
However, looking at the cheering crowd, some disharmonious voices still came from the low voices.
"Why are the tribes who win the championships all entering the city to join the joint venture?"
"Shadow! There is definitely a shady scene here!"
Indeed, the four champions, Bu Liugu, Dugu, Qu Tu and Helan, are all surnames who entered the city. There are only two of them, Luo Kuo and Shi Lidai, and they are just bronze armors for riding, shooting and wrestling.
There are also those Xianbei people who entered the city who "above the 100th century" who only accounted for one-quarter of the forty-eight Xianbei tribes, but received nearly three-quarters of the quota.
In fact, there is really no dark side in this! After all, this is a game in which Wang Hou has established his authority in the Xianbei people, and he doesn't want people to catch his braids, but the problem is that the rules he sets have loopholes, that is, there is no restriction on equipment.
It is said that people are poor, civil and military! This is a vivid reflection of this game. Whether you can win or not is reflected in the difference between having money and not having money.
Let’s talk about long-distance riding competitions! The riders of the thirty-six external departments rode Mongolian horses, and the twelve internal departments rode Dayuan horses from the Western Regions, and their endurance was higher.
Let’s talk about riding and shooting, the thirty-six outer parts use a simple grassland bow, and the twelve inner parts use a metal pulley bow produced in Liaodong. To be honest, the bow strength is about the same, and the grassland bow of the thirty-six outer parts is one-third lighter. However, the pulley shock absorption effect is much stronger than that of ordinary bows, and there is also an arrow platform. As for the remaining wrestling, it has been cultivated for a long time. The players of the twelve inner parts eat chicken legs, eggs, and boiled chicken breasts. The muscle mass they train naturally widens the gap compared to the thirty-six outer parts of normal dairy products.
But everyone couldn't see these, and many doubts were buried in the crowd.
