One Piece of Song Dynasty

Of course, in addition to chess and mahjong, Li Xin will also promote more entertainment activities in the future, such as football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, running, etc. Li Xin gets very angry when he thinks of the national football team in his previous life. He couldn't play football well, and in the end he had to become a naturalized foreigner to play football. Li Xin felt it was embarrassing. Now we have come to the Song Dynasty. Football has developed well in the Song Dynasty. Of course, the rules are not the same as those of later generations, and the name is not football. It’s called Cuju. Li Xin wants modern football to develop from the Song Dynasty. In this way, at least China will be a football powerhouse in a few hundred years. Maybe the first World Cup can be held in China. net

The same applies to the Olympics. The right to speak in all aspects can no longer fall into the hands of the barbarians in the West.

Two days later, Li Xin got the new chess and chessboard made by Old Man Feng as promised. The production was quite exquisite. Li Xin took the chess and chessboard and went to the military camp.

Li Xin found Liu Fa: "Liu Shuai, I came to play with you today."

Liu Fa asked: "Oh, what does the master want to play with a certain family?"

Li Xin said: "Didn't Liu Shuai see what a certain person was holding in both hands?"

Liu Fa asked: "What does the Lord have in his hand?"

Li Xin replied: "When someone shows it, Liu Shuai should be able to guess it by looking at it."

Li Xin put the chessboard in place and arranged the chess pieces of both sides.

Li Xin asked: "What did Liu Shuai see?"

Liu Fa said: "A certain family looks very similar to Xiangxi. 35xs"

Li Xin replied: "Yes, this is an improvement based on Xiang Opera. Someone calls it chess. Don't Liu Shuai think our daily life is a bit boring? In addition to eating, sleeping, work training, and learning literacy, There’s nothing left to do.”

Liu Fa nodded and said: "Indeed, apart from these few things, there is nothing to do at ordinary times."

Li Xin said: "That's why I decided to give you some entertainment activities so that you can relax when you are free. Go is too abstruse for me to understand, so I chose the elephant game, and I made some changes to the rules of the object game. After the change, I found it quite interesting, so I came to Liu Shuai to play a few games today."

Liu Fa replied: "Okay, but my lord needs to tell a certain family about the new rules of chess first."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Of course."

Li Xin then explained the rules of chess to Liu Fa in detail.

After Li Xin finished speaking, he said: "Does Liu Shuai understand everything?"

Liu Fa said thoughtfully: "Yes, I understand everything."

Li Xin said: "Okay, let's play a few games first. Liu Shuai shouldn't give up to someone just because he is the lord. That is not good."

Liu Fa nodded and said: "Well, okay, please, my lord."

Li Xin played against Liu Fa for five games. In the first two games, Li Xin won two games because Liu Fa had just understood the rules but could not yet fully comprehend them. In the last three games, after Liu Fa became familiar with the rules, Li Xin never won again.

After the game, Li Xin asked: "Liu Shuai, what do you think of this chess game?"

Liu Fa thoughtfully said: "Yes, the rules of chess seem simple, but it is almost like fighting a war. The various chess pieces are like the various types of soldiers on the battlefield. They need to work together to win. Although chess is not as good as Go, Profound, but also well versed in the ways of war."

Li Xin said: "It seems that Liu Shuai admires chess very much. How about promoting chess among soldiers?"

Liu Fa asked: "My lord wants to promote chess among soldiers, I'm afraid it's not just to increase the entertainment activities for soldiers."

Li Xin replied: "Yes, I do have other intentions. I wonder how confident Liu Shuai is of commanding tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people?"

Liu Fa thought for a while and said: "There are many factors that affect the outcome of the battle, so it is difficult to say whether it is victory or defeat. The right time, place, and people must be taken into consideration."

Li Xin nodded and said: "That's true. What if the enemy and we are evenly matched, or how can we win when we are at a disadvantage?"

Liu Fa replied: "Then it depends on the commander-in-chief's strategy."

Li Xin said: "The commander-in-chief's strategy is only one aspect. I think no matter how good the commander-in-chief's strategy is, if there are no good soldiers to execute it, the result will not be very good. In the past, we thought that soldiers only need to obey the commander-in-chief's orders, but the commander-in-chief's strategy will not be very good." How to execute orders? Is it rigid execution or flexible execution? I believe that a good soldier should not only complete the commander's orders, but also be able to think of how to complete the commander's orders at the minimum cost."

Liu Fa thoughtfully said: "So my lord should not only make the soldiers literate, but also let them understand the way of fighting through chess."

Li Xin said: "Yes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a commander is not a good soldier. Soldiers should also understand the way of war and are not just puppets under the commander who only know how to follow orders rigidly. Of course, this does not mean that soldiers should not obey the commander's orders. , obeying orders is still the bounden duty of soldiers, the key is how to execute orders better."

Liu Fa replied: "This question has never been thought of by a certain family before."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Liu Shuai, can you take care of all the war scenes involving tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people?"

Liu Fa said: "No, the scene was too big. Although there were flags to command, it was impossible to take care of every part of the battlefield."

Li Xin continued: "Yes, even if we stand at a high place, we can only see a few thousand people at most. Since the commander-in-chief cannot take care of all the places on the battlefield, the competition at this time is between the lower-level soldiers and the lower-level soldiers on both sides. Officers, if our soldiers and lower-level officers are both literate, understand the ways of fighting, and proactively think about how to win the battle, I think we will win even if our army is at a disadvantage." Li Xin is just shy of Liu Fa said that he had seen such an army before. In his previous life, the Volunteer Army brought the Japanese Empire to the negotiation table at the th Parallel at an extreme disadvantage. The equipment was inferior to the American Emperor, the logistics were inferior to the American Emperor, and they had no advantages in the sea and air. That war was a battle for the rise of the Chinese nation. The Volunteer Army brought the subjective initiative of the soldiers to the extreme.

Liu Fa replied: "Since the lord said so, then a certain family will obey the lord's arrangement."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, in a few days I will ask the carpenter to deliver dozens of chess sets. We will build several chess and card rooms in the barracks specifically to provide soldiers with chess entertainment. We will put up notices outside the chess and card rooms." , Liu Shuai can play chess with his generals in the past few days in order to teach them how to play chess and let them promote chess among the soldiers."

Liu Fa cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord, a certain family has an order."

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "I have one more thing to tell Liu Shuai. The five hundred military households that are coming recently have been asked to change their route to Jilong City. I don't know which battalion of soldiers Liu Shuai sent to command." Who?"

Liu Fa replied: "The battalion of soldiers sent by a certain family is led by Zhai Liang, the son of Zhai Jin."

Li Xin said thoughtfully: "Okay, then let him command the five hundred military households that are coming soon."

Liu Fa nodded and said: "Yes, lord, a certain family understands."
