"The date of the game is set for half a month later. You can choose an existing team, or you can choose several excellent players from several teams to form a new team! I have sent people to secretly inquire about the team formed by the Prince of Nihon. The cooperation between the players is very good. They have secretly defeated several Tang First League teams! Don't underestimate them! "
In the Sweet Dew Palace, Li Er stood up and looked at Li Zexuan with his hands behind his back.
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will do my best to win this game!"
To be honest, Li Zexuan didn't take the Nihon team seriously. Good cooperation? How good could a team that had only been in contact with football for a few months cooperate? Although he didn't play football in his previous life, he had watched a lot of football games. He didn't believe that the Nihon team could win if he just gave them some tactics to practice.
In the past, Li Zexuan didn't want to do these things because he didn't want to break the rules. As the president of the Tang Football Association, how could he set up a team himself? After all, how could he be both a referee and a player?
What's more, if he were to use the training methods of modern football clubs, which team would be his opponent? This would make the game lose its suspense and seem very boring!
But it was different now. The Nihon team took the initiative to "ask for a beating". If they lost this game, Yanhuang College would have to accept students from Nihon. That couldn't be done! Therefore, Li Zexuan had to choose to "come out of retirement" at this time!
"Oh, the King of Jiangxia is also very interested in this matter. You can go and find him later. Maybe he can help you with something!"
At this time, Li Er suddenly thought of something and said with a smile.
"Yes! Your Majesty! "
Li Zexuan nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and bowed to Li Er, saying,
"Your Majesty, the Nihon people are the best at forbearance. Beneath their humble appearance, they often hide wild ambitions. This subject earnestly requests that Your Majesty not be fooled by their appearance when interacting with the Nihon people in the future, because once they learn your way of governing and the advanced production technology of the Tang Empire, not only will they not be grateful, they will even bite us back! Those who are not of our kind will definitely have different intentions. A wolf cub will never mature! "
What he said was not polite at all, and he even faintly blamed Li Er. The reason why he took the risk to say those words was mainly to remind Li Er not to be soft-hearted and give the Nihon people chances in the future. He might be able to help in the "Sino-Japanese football rivalry" this time, but he might not be able to do so next time. After all, he was not omnipotent!
Moreover, what he said was not alarmist talk. In terms of forbearance, the Nihon people were probably the most forbearing people in the world. Before the Ming Dynasty, the Nihon people were weak, and they endured as the underlings of China. However, after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there was a phenomenon of a vicious dog biting its master, and the Nihon people began to frequently invade the coastal areas of China!
Later, the Nihon people became the Nihon people and gradually expanded. They started the Second World War and even conquered more than half of China's territory. However, the Nihon people were defeated in the end!
Many people would say that the Nihon people were a loyal dog that would be obedient as long as they were afraid of being beaten. Look at how obedient they were to the United States. However, would a loyal dog bite its master?
After the Second World War, the United States began to support the Nihon people's economic development. The Nihon people kept a low profile and their economy developed rapidly. Soon, they surpassed the old strong countries such as England and France. In the 1980s, the Nihon people's forbearance finally paid off. The Nihon people's GDP finally exceeded half of the United States' GDP.
As a result, the Nihon people's self-confidence began to soar. They declared that they could buy the entire United States of America. The United States of America saw that the Nihon people who had been hiding for so many years had finally revealed their true colors. Not long after, the United States of America held a "public meeting" and announced economic sanctions against the Nihon people. They wanted to teach the Nihon people how to behave. After that, the Nihon people's biggest economic bubble started, and a huge economic empire collapsed.
After that, the Nihon people immediately expressed their loyalty to the United States of America, hoping that they would forgive them. From these incidents, Feng Yu could tell that the Nihon people knew how to be patient. They were smart and could bow their heads. However, they were also conceited. You could also call them untrained wolf cubs.
Li Zexuan felt that since he was reborn, and he had a certain amount of authority in the Tang Dynasty in this life, he must not let the Nihon people take advantage of him. If he had the chance, he would make sure that the Nihon people would never be able to rise again. He would make sure that the Nihon people were completely wiped out!
You could say that he was a nationalistic youth, but no one could stop him from being a nationalistic youth!
After listening to Li Zexuan's merciless words, Li Er's eyes narrowed. However, he did not fly into a rage on the spot. This was because he had already been trained by Wei Zheng. Normally, the words that Wei Zheng said to him were a hundred times worse than what Li Zexuan had just said. After so many years, Li Er had already been trained to have a "strong" heart!
"You seem to hate the Nihon people very much?"
After a moment of silence, just when Li Zexuan thought that Li Er was going to fly into a rage, Li Er spat out a few words with neither joy nor anger.
Li Zexuan thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't hate the Nihon people. What I hate is all the foreigners who covet our Huaxia!"
Li Er nodded and said in a deep voice, "En! I understand what you mean! Don't worry, I will pay attention to the Nihon people in the future! I will not let them threaten the future of my descendants! "
Li Zexuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty is wise! Then I will take my leave! "
Li Er smiled and said, "Go! When the Sichuan vanadium ore is transported back, you have to hurry up and forge equipment for the Black Armored Army! The war between the Tang Empire and the Turks is not far away! "
Li Zexuan was shocked. He cupped his hands and said seriously, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible!"
… … …
After leaving the palace, Li Zexuan immediately rode back to Yunshan. After making the final arrangements for his trip to Sichuan, he sent someone to inform the bosses of the twenty Tang League First Division teams to have a meeting at the workshop's office building the next day.
It was already the beginning of May, and the Tang Football Association's league tournament had already ended. The twenty top teams had officially been promoted to Tang League First Division teams. The first Division League Tournament was being held in Lantian County, and the three worst Division League teams would be demoted to Division League First Division teams. Therefore, all the teams were very serious in the recent matches, and the fans were naturally very satisfied!
Early the next morning, Li Zexuan's reinforcements set off with the troops sent by the Imperial Court toward the territory.
This time, the imperial court had allocated twenty thousand strings of coins to Sichuan to build roads. This was the limit of what Old Li could give. Because of this, Xiao Yu complained to Li Er that he was poor. He said that there were already rats in the national treasury, so how could he have any money to squander?
In addition, it was worth mentioning that the White Stack Seed distributed in Lantian County had not only been made into nutrient pots, but all of them had also sprouted. The people were now busy transplanting the nutrient pots into the mountains. Moreover, in terms of drought resistance, cotton's drought resistance was much higher than rice and wheat. This made Li Zexuan quite pleased!
Because there was destined to be less rain this year!
After sending off the team, Li Zexuan went directly to the workshop. Yesterday, he had sent someone to inform all the bosses of the Tang League First Division teams to come!
For the game against the Japanese, he planned to use the existing players to form a new team. This was a bit like the modern national team. When there were no important games, the players would serve in their respective clubs. Once there was a national game, the national players would have to return to receive training and participate in the game!
In the future, as football became more and more popular, other countries would gradually start to have football competitions. When that time came, it would be inevitable to have "wars" between countries!
Therefore, Li Zexuan wanted to take this opportunity to form a national football team for Tang League First Division!
As soon as he walked into the office building in the front yard of the workshop, Li Zexuan heard a commotion. He saw a group of well-dressed men of all ages, and there were a few familiar faces among them.
When they saw Li Zexuan come in, they quickly bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Marquis!"
Li Zexuan smiled kindly and said, "You don't have to be so polite. Today, I gathered you here because I have something to trouble you with! It's about the football team! "
"Haha! Xiaoxuan, how can I not be involved in the football team? "
Before anyone could answer, Li Daozong's hearty laughter came from outside the hall.
Li Zexuan quickly turned around and saw Li Daozong walking over. He went forward and saluted, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Haha! You don't have to be so polite! "
Li Daozong waved his hand and said, "The Japanese Crown Prince has overestimated himself and declared war on Tang League in football. I heard about this yesterday. You gathered everyone here today for this matter, right?"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "I can't hide anything from Your Highness. Today, I gathered everyone here for this matter! Your Highness, let's go in first! "
Li Daozong nodded in agreement.
Thus, 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 present, the teams under your command have been promoted to League One teams of Tang Empire. Here, I congratulate all of you! However, there is a very urgent matter that needs your help. I hope you won't refuse! "
Zheng Qianjun, who was sitting below, quickly said, "Marquis, you don't have to be so polite. If you need our help, just say it!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Marquis, if you have any orders, just say it! "
Everyone chimed in one after another.
Not to mention that Li Zexuan was the first Marquis of Tang League, Li Zexuan was now the president of the Tang Football Association, so they had to give him face!
Li Zexuan nodded and said slowly, "Just the day before yesterday, the Japanese Crown Prince asked His Majesty to have a match with the strongest team of Tang League. His Majesty agreed. The time is set for half a month later. The victory or defeat of this match is related to the face of Tang League. So, I gathered you here today to inform you in advance, because I plan to set up a national team of Tang League!
"This team is not only for the sake of dealing with the Nihon people. It will exist forever. The players in the team are all selected from various teams. They will usually help your team play matches, but when the Tang Empire is in a competition with other countries, these players must come to report and participate in the training organized by me. They will also win glory for the Tang Empire!"
Therefore, in the next few days, I will be selecting outstanding players from your teams. You are not allowed to obstruct any of the selected players in any way. Furthermore, you must support them in all aspects. This is because their selection is not only their personal glory, but also the collective glory of your teams! Do you have any objections? "
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Obviously, they all knew that if their team's players were selected, it would inevitably affect the team's performance in the league. But this matter was proposed by Li Zexuan. Even if they wanted to refuse, they didn't have the courage to do so!
"Ahem! I have something to say! "
At this moment, Li Daozong, who was sitting to the left of Li Zexuan, suddenly stood up. He looked at the team owners sitting below him and said with a serious face:
"My words might not be pleasant to hear, but even if they are unpleasant to hear, you must still listen! The Marquis of Yong 'an established the national team for the imperial court, to protect the glory of Tang League. Football rose from Tang League, and if Tang League can't beat a small country like Japan in the future, how will you have the face to establish a team to play football?
Without the Marquis of Yong 'an's painstaking efforts to create this environment, how can you have the Tang League A team that is envied by tens of thousands of people today? I know that most of you here are businessmen. Usually, I won't say anything when you focus on profits. After all, it's natural for businessmen to focus on profits. But in this kind of confrontation between countries, if you still only think about your own profits, then even if the Marquis of Yong 'an spares you, I will definitely not spare you! "
The purpose of Li Daozong's visit today was mainly to support Li Zexuan. He had not said anything before, but at this critical moment, he had to stand up for Li Zexuan and give the team owners a deterrent!
"We will definitely follow Your Highness's instructions and Marquis of Yong 'an's orders!"
Hearing this, everyone's heart trembled. They quickly stood up and cupped their hands.
Li Daozong nodded his head in satisfaction and sat back down.
Li Zexuan looked at Li Daozong gratefully. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door. It was Pang Feiji hurriedly walking in. Later, he saw that there were many people in the room, so he whispered a few words in Li Zexuan's ear. After Li Zexuan heard it, his expression changed slightly. He turned around and said to the crowd:
"The situation has changed. The football match with the Japanese in half a month is canceled, but I will still form the Tang national team. Today, I will stop here. Everyone, please help yourselves. I still have something important to do, so I will leave first!"
After that, ignoring the stunned expressions of the crowd, Li Zexuan excused himself from Li Daozong and left in a hurry!
"Hey, hey, hey! Little Xuan, what exactly happened!? Why is this competition canceled out of the blue? "
Li Daozong came back to his senses and quickly chased after him and asked.
Li Zexuan squatted down and waited for Li Daozong to come to his side. He whispered, "Your Highness, the Queen of Japan has passed away, so this match can't be played! Now the Crown Prince of Japan is in Yunshan. He said that he wanted to say goodbye to me, so I went to see him! "
Li Daozong was stunned and then said in surprise, "Oh! I see! Then you go! I will go back first! "
