"The competition period is scheduled for half a month. You can choose an existing team, or you can choose outstanding players from several teams to form a new team! I have already sent people to investigate secretly. , the team formed by the Crown Prince of Japan, the players cooperate very well with each other, they have defeated several Tang A teams in private! Don’t underestimate them!"
In the Manlu Hall, Li Er stood up, looked at Li Zexuan below with his hands behind his hands, and explained.
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go all out to win this game!"
To be honest, Li Zexuan didn't take the Japanese team seriously. They cooperated tacitly? How tacitly can a team that has only been exposed to football for a few months cooperate well? Although he didn't play football in his previous life, he still watched football games. He would practice some tactics on a team with a good foundation, but he didn't believe that the Japanese could win!
In the past, Li Zexuan was unwilling to do these things because he did not want to break the rules. As the chairman of the Datang Football Association, what would it be like if he personally formed a team? After all, how can anyone be both a referee and a player?
Besides, if he applies the methods used by modern football clubs to train teams, who will still be his opponent? Doing this will make the game lose its suspense and look very boring!
But it is different now. Now it is the Japanese who come to the door to "seek abuse". Moreover, if the bet loses in this game, then Yanhuang Academy will have to accept international students sent by the Japanese. This is not okay! So at this time Li Zexuan must choose to "come out"!
"Oh, King Jiang Xia is also very interested in this matter. You can go find him later. Maybe he can help you in some ways!"
At this time, Li Er suddenly remembered something and said with a smile.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Li Zexuan nodded, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, bowed to Li Er and said:
"Your Majesty, the Japanese people are the most tolerant. Under their humble faces, they often hide their ambitions. I sincerely ask your majesty not to be fooled by their appearance when you get along with the Japanese people in the future, because once they learn your way of governing the country and the Tang Dynasty, After advanced production technology, not only will they not be grateful, but they will bite us back! If they are not from my race, their hearts will be different, and wolf cubs will never be raised properly!"
These words were rude and even vaguely meant to blame Li Er. The reason why he took the risk to say these words was mainly to remind Li Er not to give the Japanese people a chance because of their soft-heartedness. This time "China" He can help, but not necessarily next time. After all, he is not omnipotent!
And what he said is not alarmist. In terms of tolerance, the Japanese nation is probably the most forbearing nation in the world. Before the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese nation was weak, so they tolerated it in front of China's younger brother, but after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, they The phenomenon of loyal dogs biting their owners appeared, and the Japanese began to frequently invade China's coastal areas!
Later, the Japanese country became Japan and gradually expanded, starting the Second World War, and even captured most of China's territory for a time, but Japan was eventually defeated!
Many people would say that Japan is a very obedient and loyal dog as long as it is scared. Look at how obedient he is to the United States. But will a loyal dog bite its owner?
After the end of World War II, the United States began to support Japan's economic construction. Japan was low-key and tolerant, and its economy developed rapidly, quickly surpassing the United Kingdom, France and other established powers. In the 1980s, Japan's forbearance finally bore fruit, and its national GDP finally exceeded half of that of the United States.
As a result, the Japanese government and people's self-confidence began to expand extremely, threatening that they could buy the entire United States. When the United States saw that the fox that had been hiding for many years finally showed its tail, it started to play seriously. Not long after, the United States held a "Plaza Meeting" and announced economic sanctions against Japan to teach Japan how to behave. Then the largest economic bubble in Japan's history began, and a huge economic empire quickly collapsed.
Then Japan immediately expressed its loyalty to the United States, hoping to be forgiven by the United States. It can be seen from these many incidents that the Japanese nation is a nation that knows how to tolerate, is smart, and can keep its head down, but is also conceited. They can also be called immature wolf cubs.
Li Zexuan felt that he had resurrected his life, and that he still had a certain say in the Tang Dynasty in this life, so he could not let the Japanese country have any loopholes to take advantage of. If there was a chance, he even wanted the Japanese country to never be able to stand up again, and to be completely subjugated. Extermination!
You can say he is an angry young man, but no one can stop him from being such an angry young man!
After hearing Li Zexuan's merciless words, Li Er's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not get angry on the spot, because he had been trained by Wei Zheng for a long time. To be honest, what Wei Zexuan usually said to him was better than what Li Zexuan just said. Those words were a hundred times worse to hear. Over the years, Li Er had long been trained to have a "strong" heart!
"You seem to hate Japanese people very much?"
After a long moment of silence, just when Li Zexuan thought Li Er was going to get angry, Li Er spat out these words in a neutral tone.
Li Zexuan thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't hate the Japanese, I hate all the foreigners who covet our Chinese land!"
Li Er nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes! I understand what you mean! Don't worry, I will pay attention to the Japanese country in the future! I will never let them threaten the country of my descendants!"
Li Zexuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty is wise! That minister is resigning!"
Li Er smiled slightly and said: "Go ahead! When the vanadium ore from Bashu comes back, you have to hurry up and help the Xuanjia Army forge equipment! The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is not far away!"
Li Zexuan was shocked, and he raised his hands extremely seriously and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will handle this matter as soon as possible!"
............................
After coming out of the palace, Li Zexuan immediately rode back to Yunshan. After making the final arrangements for heading to Shuzhong, he sent someone to inform the bosses of the twenty Tang A-level teams that they would hold a meeting in the office building of the workshop tomorrow.
It is now the beginning of May. The qualifying league held by the Datang Football Association has long been completed. Twenty top teams have also been officially promoted to Tang A teams. Now the first A-level league is held in Lantian County, with the best results. The three worse A-level teams will be relegated to the B-level teams at that time, so all the teams have been very serious about the recent games, and the fans will naturally enjoy watching them!
Early on the next morning, the Shu aid brigade organized by Li Zexuan set off together with the team sent by the imperial court towards the territory.
This time, the imperial court allocated 20,000 yuan to build roads in Bashu. Don’t be too little. This is the limit that Lao Li can give. For this reason, Xiao Yu often went to Li Er to complain about his poverty, saying that everything in the treasury can be done If you see a mouse, where can you find any copper coins to squander?
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Baidiezi flower seeds distributed in Lantian County have not only been made into nutrient bowls, but also all have sprouted. People are now busy transplanting cotton into the mountains. And in terms of drought resistance alone, cotton's drought resistance is much higher than that of rice and wheat, which makes Li Zexuan very happy!
Because there is destined to be less rain this year!
After seeing off the Shu aid team, Li Zexuan went directly to the workshop. Yesterday, he sent someone to notify all the Tang A team bosses!
For the match against the Japanese, he plans to use existing players to form a new team. This is somewhat similar to the modern national team. When there are no important events, the players serve in their respective clubs. Once there is a national-level team, During the competition, the national players have to go back, receive training, and participate in the competition!
In the future, as football becomes more and more popular, other countries will surely gradually start football competitions, and then there will inevitably be "wars" between countries!
Therefore, Li Zexuan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to form the national team of Datang Football!
As soon as he walked into the office building in the front yard of the workshop, Li Zexuan heard a burst of noise. What he saw was a group of gorgeously dressed men, ranging in age, including several familiar people.
When everyone saw Li Zexuan coming in, they quickly bowed and saluted: "I have met the Marquis~!"
Li Zexuan smiled kindly and said: "You don't have to be polite. I have called you here today. I still have something to trouble you! About the football team!"
"Haha! Xiaoxuan, regarding the football team, how can I be left out?"
Before anyone could answer, Li Daozong's hearty laughter came from outside the hall.
Li Zexuan turned around quickly and saw Li Daozong walking over at a fast pace. He stepped forward to greet him and cupped his hands and said, "I have met the prince!"
"Haha! No need to be polite!"
Li Daozong waved his hand, and then said: "The prince of Japan overestimated his capabilities and declared war on our Tang Dynasty in football. I heard about this matter yesterday. You summoned everyone here today for this reason, right?"
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Nothing can be hidden from the prince. Today, my nephew called everyone here for this matter! Prince, let's go in and talk about it!"
Li Daozong nodded in agreement.
So, Li Zexuan led everyone to a large conference room on the first floor. After everyone was seated, Li Zexuan said in a deep voice: "Everyone here, their teams have been promoted to our Datang team." First-class team, I would like to congratulate you! However, there is a very urgent matter right now, and I still need your help, so I hope you will not refuse!"
Zheng Qianjun, who was sitting at the bottom, said quickly: "Master Hou, why are you so polite? If you have any use for us, just say so!"
"Yes, yes! Lord Marquis, if you have any orders, just tell me~!"
Everyone followed suit.
Not to mention that Li Zexuan was the first Ten Thousand Household Marquis in the Tang Dynasty and had a respected status. Li Zexuan's current position as "Chairman of the Tang Dynasty Football Federation" made them unable to help but give him face!
Li Zexuan nodded and said slowly: "Just the day before yesterday, the crown prince of the Japanese country asked your majesty to compete with our strongest team in the Tang Dynasty. Your majesty agreed. The time is set for this game in half a month. The victory or defeat is related to the face of the Tang Dynasty, so I have called you here today to inform you in advance, because I plan to form a National Team of the Tang Dynasty!
This team is not just to deal with Japanese people, it will always exist in the future. The players in it are all graded players selected from various teams. On weekdays, they will help you play games in your team, but If there is a match between Datang and other countries, these players must come to report, participate in the training organized by us, and win glory for Datang!
Therefore, in the next few days, I will select outstanding players from your team. Any players who are selected will not be blocked by you in any form, and you must provide support in all aspects, because they are selected, not only It is their personal honor and the joint honor of your team! Do you have any objections? "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Obviously everyone understood that if a player of their team was selected, it would definitely affect the team's performance in the league. However, this matter was proposed by Li Zexuan, and they just wanted to refuse. I don’t have the guts either!
"Ahem! I have something to say!"
At this moment, Li Daozong, who was sitting on the left side of Li Zexuan, suddenly stood up. He looked at the team bosses sitting below and said with a serious face:
"My words may not be pleasant to the ears, but you must listen to them even if they are not unpleasant to the ears! Marquis Yong'an established the national team for the sake of the imperial court and to safeguard the glory of football in the Tang Dynasty. Football originated from the Tang Dynasty. If we, the Tang Dynasty, cannot play football in a small country like Japan, how can we have the dignity to form a team to play football?
Without the environment that Yong'an Hou worked so hard to create, how could you have a Datang Class A team that is envied by everyone today? I know that most of the people here are businessmen. Normally, if you value profits, I will not say anything. After all, it is natural for businessmen to value profits. But in this kind of confrontation between countries, if you still only think about your own If you don't want to benefit from it, then the Marquis of Yong'an will spare you, and I will never spare you! "
The purpose of Li Daozong's visit today was mainly to support Li Zexuan. He had been silent before, but now at this critical moment, he must come out to support Li Zexuan and give these team owners a deterrent!
"We will definitely follow the teachings of the prince and the instructions of Marquis Yong'an~!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and they quickly stood up and cupped their hands.
Li Daozong nodded with satisfaction and sat back again.
Li Zexuan glanced at Li Daozong gratefully and was about to speak when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door, but it was Pang Feiji who left in a hurry. Later, when he saw that there were many people in the room, he whispered a few words in Li Zexuan's ear, After Li Zexuan heard this, his expression changed slightly. He turned around and said to everyone:
"The situation has changed. The football match with the Japanese will be canceled in half a month, but I will still form the Datang national team. I will stop here today. You can do your best. I have important matters, so I will take the first step. Got it!"
After that, regardless of everyone's shocked expressions, Li Zexuan confessed to Li Daozong and left in a hurry!
"Hey! Xiaoxuan, what happened? Why was this wonderful game canceled?"
Li Daozong came to his senses, chased out quickly, and asked.
Li Zexuan crouched down and waited for Li Daozong to come to his side. He whispered: "Your Majesty, the queen of Japan has passed away, so this game will definitely be incomparable! Now the crown prince of Japan is in Yunshan, saying he wants to bid farewell to me. I’ll go take a look!”
Li Daozong was stunned for a moment, then he was shocked and said: "Oh! So that's it! Then go ahead! I will go back first!"
