Incentives

Bang bang bang...

In the simple polo field, horses galloped criss-crossed, the clubs were swung like sabers, and the small polo balls were slapped and flew around.

The young men outside the court were excited and shouted loudly, while the polo players inside the court fought hard like soldiers on an expedition.

Jia Rong galloped on his horse, flying the club in his hand up and down, and flew the polo racket that kept flying towards the predetermined airspace.

If you are a discerning audience, you will definitely be able to see that Ningfu's polo team always maintains a dynamic balance with him as the core.

And Jia Rong is the absolute center of the polo team, constantly using the polo flying in the air to direct the surrounding teammates to advance or retreat, cover or charge.

Although there were often situations where her teammates were ineffective and failed to pick up the team, she managed to keep the entire polo team in order and capable of both offense and defense.

If there are generals with military experience here, it is easy to see that the Ningfu polo team is well organized and has a well-organized formation of a small group of elite cavalry.

From time to time, the galloping horses collided with each other, making a shrill scream, and the rider on the horse was directly knocked off the horse.

If you are not responsive enough and cannot roll and crawl out of the range of the horse's hooves immediately, you will easily be injured or even die.

Polo was the favorite game of the military nobles during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

For no other reason than because it is real and intense, it largely imitates the state of cavalry fighting. If you play it regularly, you can not only improve your riding skills, but you can also absorb part of the experience of fighting against a small group of elite cavalry.

It was only after the Song Dynasty that polo was replaced by Cuju, which has a variety of tricks!

In the subsequent Yuan and Ming dynasties, the tradition of playing polo was not restored.

After a hundred years of peace during the Qian Dynasty, Wu Xun was gradually suppressed by the civil servant group. Influenced by the customs since the Song Dynasty, naturally there was no such activity as polo.

Judging from the performance of the distinguished children who appeared in the world of Red Mansion, none of them are good at playing polo.

Gossip aside, under the organization of Jia Rong, the Ningfu team collided fiercely with their opponents and quickly took advantage.

After a few rounds, three polo balls were scored directly.

The young men who had placed bets had ugly faces, cursed and were extremely depressed, and watched helplessly as the Ningfu polo team won easily.

"Haha, did you see that?"

Jia Qiang was not a good person. While collecting the cash register proudly, she sarcastically said: "The Ningfu polo team is the best!"

"You have all seen Brother Rong's performance. If you are not convinced, let's make an appointment to continue the competition!

His words almost made the young master opposite him angry to death.

"Okay, your Ningfu polo team is really good, but I'm just not convinced!"

"That's right, when I gather more riding experts, I will definitely regain my position, and I will make you convinced that you have lost!"

"What's there to be proud of? It's none of your business that Brother Rong is great!"

"Isn't it just playing polo? You can only take advantage of us when we are not familiar with it!"

"That is, when our polo team becomes stronger and your Ningfu polo team looks good!"

"..."

"Yo yo yo, looking at you like this, you're still not convinced, are you?"

Jia Qiang shook the banknote in her hand and said proudly: "Don't just talk, show your true skills!"

"When the time comes, let's have a big polo championship match and make all the noise and noise happen. Whoever comes first will win fame and fortune!"

"I'm just going to tell you that the Ningfu polo team is definitely the strongest!"

Jia Qiang's arrogant remarks naturally attracted a burst of ridicule and laughter from the young masters.

But the information revealed in his words is for some thoughtful young masters to keep it in mind and plan to discuss it with their families when they return.

The Daqian Polo Championship, as the name sounds, it sounds high-end and classy!

If it is as Jia Qiang said that he can gain both fame and fortune, then of course it would be great.

Jia Rong and the riders assigned by the government had already exited the simple polo field.

While drinking water and resting in the rest area, watching Jia Qiang boasting about Dharma conch, I couldn't help but smile.

That’s right, he made the polo ball!

I didn’t think too much about it at the time, mainly because I wanted to decline the invitations from other distinguished disciples.

Although he was already a noble at this time, he was still the head of the Rong family, but at the age of less than fourteen years old, it was difficult to convince people.

A group of distinguished disciples who have good relationships, or want to build relationships, have been receiving invitations from them from time to time in recent times.

The key thing is that the places where these guys invite people are either brothels or Chuguan, or high-end stalls, and there is no serious place.

How could Jia Rong agree?

However, not being gregarious is not a good choice. You will always have to contact and communicate with these noble disciples in the future.

When it didn’t work, I simply came up with a way to communicate: play polo!

Anyway, I believe that all the noble disciples know that I have been practicing martial arts recently, so it is understandable that I suddenly make such a suggestion.

Since Jia Rong proposed to play polo for exchanges, he naturally had to understand and practice Yifan in advance, otherwise the group of Zixun noble disciples would think that Jia Rong looked down on them.

At this time, the Ning Mansion may have limited foundation in other aspects, but its foundation in martial arts is really not bad.

Casually, I selected about twenty young men from the families in the mansion who were around twenty years old, had some riding skills, and some had received a certain degree of military training.

As for Jia Rong herself, she naturally has to set an adequate example.

Polo is indeed quite risky to play.

But once you get used to it, or like it, it's quite exciting.

In terms of intensity alone, only the later ice hockey or rugby can be compared to it, but football is far from enough.

With Jia Rong's level of martial arts and her own strength, she quickly got the hang of it with just a few practices, and was able to hit a polo shot very sharply and accurately.

The mansion recruited young men with a certain level of riding skills, and under his guidance, they quickly got started.

He may be very good at his level, but against opponents who are more advanced outside, with Jia Rong in the middle to direct and support him, he will definitely be able to crush him.

In fact, this is exactly the case!

The noble disciples in the capital are also quite unfamiliar with the activity of polo.

When they hastily organized a so-called polo team to communicate and compete with the Ningfu polo team, they were naturally beaten to pieces and ran away with their heads in their hands.

The excitement of galloping horses at close range, the flexibility in maneuvering, and the most direct and fierce collisions easily infected the participating noble disciples, creating a strong sense of participation.

The effect of cruelty to vegetables is also quite obvious.

The Ningfu Polo Team originally performed very poorly, but after winning a few games, their confidence and training results showed that they naturally became better and better.

The Ningfu polo team also quickly became famous among the elite circles in the capital.

Not only the noble disciples who have friendship with the Ning Mansion, but also those who are beyond reach are also interested.

Then, there was the scene that happened before!

In the beginning, the invitation to play polo was just a normal exchange and discussion.

But as time went by, and as the noble men and noble men were very unconvinced by each other's competition, there was a betting jam, and it got bigger and bigger.

Playing polo is similar to playing football. As long as you feel the fun, it's easy to get addicted.

For the distinguished princes in the capital, all they want is face.

Even the family elders behind them are very supportive of their participation in playing mahjong. It's better than just running to the brothel and Chuguan for nothing, right?

Although it was only slowly spreading in the circle of Mr. Xungui, the news about the Ning Mansion polo team and the polo match soon spread in the circle of Mr. Xungui.

Even the current emperor has heard some relevant information.

After listening to it, I feel not very happy now!

The polo incident was naturally very trivial, but the hidden meaning behind it is quite disturbing today.

Anyone who knows something about history will know that playing mahjong has a very positive side in training cavalry and cavalry generals.

Not to mention anything else, anyone who can gallop around on the polo field can also get along well among the cavalry, and even become the best among them.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was the standard battlefield king!

He doesn't have a good impression of the Xungui Group nowadays. What he wants to see most is naturally for the Xungui Group to quickly degenerate and collapse.

Instead of slowly recovering the gradually rusty military skills by playing polo like now.

At this time, Jia Rong, who was in charge of this matter, naturally came into today's sight.

Although I'm unhappy, I won't bother Ning Mansion and Jia Rong because of such a thing.

Jia Rong's behavior is not out of the ordinary. At most, his preferences are a bit special.

But you can’t just target him specifically because of such a special preference?

Not to mention that the Xungui Group would not agree, and the Emperor would not let him succeed.

However, Jia Rong, who is recorded in today's notebooks, will definitely have endless shoes to fill once he enters the officialdom.
