Qing In the 30th year of Guangxu, on the 23rd day of the first lunar month, the Empress Dowager who "rules the power from behind the curtain" Cixi was sitting in front of the Longshu case to review the memorial. The eunuch on duty walked into the hall and raised his hands high, reporting loudly:
"Report to the Empress Dowager, there is a foreigner who claims to be an Olympic envoy, who traveled from the ocean to our Qing Dynasty Kyoto from the United States. This is a letter he submitted. Please read the document. "
Cixi took the document to her hand and opened it. She saw that the following lines of Chinese characters were written crookedly:
Dear Emperor of the Qing Dynasty:
This is scheduled to be held in St. Louis City, USA on July 1, 1904, the third Olympic Games will be held in St. Louis City, USA. At that time, your country is welcome to send athletes to participate.
The 3rd Olympic Games
The chairman of the organizing committee, Jipierce,
Cixi, saw that he was puzzled and ordered the eunuch to bring Xia Zhenxuan, the Minister of Rites, to the palace.
"You are very knowledgeable, you know astronomy and on and geography on the bottom. Can you tell what this letter means?"
Xia Zhen approached and read the document carefully. He felt a sense of silence in his heart: What kind of fun is the "Olympic Games"? He lives so big, but he has never heard of it before. If the empress dowager said she didn’t know? That would make the empress dowager angry, and the black hat on her head would be lost. Thinking of this, he calmed down and said seriously:
"As far as my subordinates know, the Olympics are the name of a foreign king. Because the sports meeting was originally initiated by this king, it was named after him."
Xia Jun said this and secretly looked at the Empress Dowager's face. Seeing that Cixi was tapping Long Shu's desk with her long nails, she quietly let out a long breath.
"What should I do when I do the sports meet?"
Xia Zhen saw that Cixi believed her words, and she was secretly happy. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and replied slowly:
"Fortune means moving; moving means living; sports meet is a competition for showing the human body. "
" According to my good friend, should my Qing Dynasty send personnel to attend this grand event?"
" According to my stupid opinions, there are many people in the Qing Dynasty who are engaged in martial arts, drama, juggling, tricks, etc., and there are also many people with unique skills. In view of this, He should have selected strong people to participate in order to promote the national qualities of China and boost the might of the Qing Dynasty."
When Cixi heard this, she suddenly burst into laughter, then raised her right hand and slapped the Longshu desk with a "splash". Xia Zhen thought the secret of heaven was exposed, and his legs became weak. He knelt on the ground with a thud. He was about to apologize, but Cixi said loudly:
"Good idea! You have to handle this matter in full."
Xia Zhen lay on the ground and kowtowed three times, shouting "Thank you for the kindness of the Empress Dowager."
Waiting Xia Zhen to retreat from the palace, Cixi said to herself: "This Xia Lu is really smart. I'm just about to issue an imperial order. He had already thanked him for his gratitude, it was rare, it was really rare! "
Xia Zhen came out of the palace and met the eunuch on duty at the door. He had an idea and pulled the eunuch aside and asked softly:
"Have you ever seen that Olympic envoy?"
"I saw it."
"Have he ever said to you?"
"I asked him What happened to the Olympic Games? He laughed for a while, and then said proudly that the Olympic Games is a donkey riding competition. I thought to myself, if you don’t ride a horse, do you have to ride a donkey? Maybe foreigners don’t have to distinguish donkeys and horses, and riding donkeys means riding a horse. But it’s hard to say that foreigners are all playing new things. "
" Will 'riding donkeys' be the homonym of 'sports'?" Xia Zhen proposed a new hypothesis.
"Absolutely, yes! That's what it means." The eunuch's face suddenly woke up, "That foreigner's Chinese is very bad. It seems that he doesn't know how to express it at all, and he doesn't understand most of what we say."
"What else did he say?"
"I asked him how to compete in the 'Donkey Riding' Competition. He didn't understand. I gestured to him for a long time. He nodded as if he understood, and then started performing.First, he kept waving his fists and jumping around on the ground,
, then gestured a ball, then gestured a box, and kicked hard; then gestured a ball, raised his hands and threw it upwards; then his body quickly turned around in place, raised his hands, looked up at the sky in the distance, as if something was flying towards the distance; then he tightly held his spear, ran forward a few steps, and tried to reach the feet With one twee, another twee on his butt, as if a big catfish was on it; then like this, like this..."
eunuch made a series of "then" messes Xia Jun's mind.
Xia Jun cursed "stupid" in his heart, turned around and left.
eunuch caught up from behind and asked in a low voice:
"Do you want to see that foreigner? "
" doesn't have to. "
In fact, Lord Xia really wanted to meet the Olympic envoy in order to touch it quietly, but he felt that he could not see: First, the Minister of Rites of the Qing Dynasty asked for advice from the Gentile envoy, and laughed at the world, and was dissatisfied with personality; second, he had already made a clear explanation to the Empress Dowager about the term "Olympic Games". If you make a new statement, you may commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Xia Zhen returned to the Shangshu's Mansion and complained in his heart. Unexpectedly, he made a few nonsense in his storm, The errands of the selection of participants fell on my head so unknown. He said he was sending someone to participate in the competition, but who knows what foreigners can compare with? He will smash the pot in the future, but how can he explain it to the empress dowager?
At night, a table of rich delicacies of mountains and sea were placed in front of him, but Xia Feng was not interested. He just ate a bite of steamed bun with vegetarian dishes, drank half of the lotus seed soup, and went back to the bedroom alone to rest without saying a word.
Mrs. Zhang was worried and said to Lord Shangshu's concubine:
"Yujiao, the master is in a bad mood. I want to encounter any troubles in the court. Go and comfort me. "
Yujiao swung Jinlian out of the bedroom door. She met a maid who had just given the master a fragrant tea, and her hand held the porcelain plate out of it, so she grabbed it and asked, "What are you doing? "
" Master, he sat on the chair of the Grand Master, and Master, he sat on the chair of the Grand Master..."
"What's wrong with Master? "
" The master is holding his eyes straight. "
Yu Jiao was so angry when she heard the maid say something badly, she waved her hand and slapped her in the face. The maid slapped her body and rubbed it. The porcelain plate in her hand fell to the ground, and it shattered with a thud.
"Random! What is the one who holds straight eyes and squinted eyes? It is called meditation and confusion. If you don’t remember that you have just entered the Shangshu Mansion, it would be strange if you don’t appreciate you if you don’t like me! "
Until the maid picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and left with tears in her eyes, Yujiao changed her smile and gently lifted the curtain into the bedroom.
"Master," Yujiao gently beat the back of Lord Shangshu, while saying in a coquettish voice, "Look at your frown and worried look, it makes people feel very heartbroken. Be careful to be worried. "
Xia Feng took a sip of tea and sighed again.
" As the saying goes, Prime Minister can hold a boat in his stomach , why did you distract you so much? "
Lord Shangshu felt very tired and didn't want to speak, but Yujiao was so entangled that he had to briefly explain the matter in the court.
Yujiao heard this and raised her eyebrows:
"What's the difficulty? Since the empress dowager asked the master to handle the matter with full authority, choose two smarter among the civil and military ministers as the foreman, and then choose some lower-ranking rough bodies to participate in the competition, wouldn't it be enough. The future is ready. Master, you have made a great contribution. If the game is not good, you can withdraw from the sixth and two fiveth. "
Xia Zhen pondered for a moment and said to himself: "Well, now, I have to do this. "
Early the next morning, Xia Zhen drafted a "memorial to participate in the Olympic Games". After the empress dowager's ruling,
immediately announced:
expedition general Zixu was the leader of the participating team;
right-hand picking up nothing, and was the military advisor of the participating team:
Ministry of Rites selected two foreign language officials as translators to accompany the team; plucking 10,000 taels of gold was the cost of participation.
should be arranged very carefully, and all civil and military officials praised them.
Seeing that the departure is approaching, General Zixu will bring athletes selected from all over the country to the military field in front of of the Forbidden City, and invite Lord Xia Jun to visit in person.
Xia Jun walked up to the reviewing stand and sat down on the ebony chair. Looking around, she saw more than 40 heroes neatly arranged in the left and right divisions: a purple flag fluttered in the wind, embroidered with a line of vigorous words "The Qing Dynasty's Olympic Games Competition Team" embroidered.
There are also small triangles with red, orange, yellow and green under the banner. Under the red flag, there are majestic martial artists in opera costumes; under the orange flag, there are majestic martial artists in tight-mouthed practice clothes; under the yellow flag, there are juggling elites in close-fitting short clothes, exquisite and unique; under the green flag, there are magic artists in long gowns and unfathomable clothes. But everyone is trembling and radiant, and the scene is spectacular and beautiful.
In a moment, the performance of skills began, and all kinds of heroes appeared one after another.
The disciples of the Liyuan Garden were striking the crowd first. Amid the gongs and drums, a handsome martial artist with thick-soled boots and a backrest flag walked onto the stage with the drum beats. He walked to the center, waved his arms and twisted his head, and made a majestic appearance. Then he flew up his legs and played a string of whirlpools around the venue, and then performed stage skills such as "money piercing the eyes" and "flying the fork".
The artist has a lot of fun, and after walking on the stage, he said a few clichés such as "Everyone can change his tricks, each has its own mystery", he performed a great change in living people and fishing on dry land.
The juggling elite was very skilled. Five men flipped into the field in a string. One performed the top skills, the other performed the pedal skills, the two performed the shaking gourd. The remaining man carried a bamboo pole more than two meters long into the field and stood on the ground without anyone helping or anything fixed. He crawled up like a monkey. At the head of the pole, the dragonflies are standing upside down, and the rooster is looking at the sight, and it takes a lot of time to toss and make a bag of cigarettes, and the long pole stands firmly on the ground like a root.
How could the heroes of the martial arts world be willing to show their weakness? They took turns to show their skills in showing their talents. A southern martial artist performed the Tai Chi pusher , which is soft on the outside and hard on the inside. A disciple of Songshan beat long fist , drunk fist , and Xingyi fist . Three Cangzhou heroes performed a knife with bare hands. The last one to play were two qigong masters, one fat and one thin. The fat Qigong master performed the performance of a hammer piercing the top, a golden spear piercing the throat, pulling eight horses horizontally, and pulling nine cows vertically. The thin Qigong master performed a walk on the grass and a spider silk hanging on people.
Looking at the whole audience, everyone shows their abilities and looks very beautiful. Lord Shangshu saw it and was happy in his heart. He wrote a poem immediately:
Heroes from all over the world came to show their supernatural powers in the capital.
China's essence is unprecedented and has become famous in the Olympics like 文机 .
On March 12, 1904, the Qing Dynasty went to the Olympic Games to participate in the Olympic Games, departed from Tianjin on the British Ocean Cargo ship Will, and arrived in the United States on June 17 of the same year.
As the saying goes, "Everything is difficult." The Qing Jianer came to St. Louis City and encountered unexpected difficulties before he participated in the competition.
, who was originally full of confidence, got the list of Olympic competitions translated into Chinese and saw that the pumpkin face suddenly turned into a winter melon face, and she was sweating all the time. What do you think? It turns out that among these many competitions, except for the archery, the rest are unheard of. Although there are many experts in the archery event in China, no one was selected because it was unexpected. Isn’t it embarrassing to be able to compete for the championship and win the championship in the competition?
news spread, and the participating teams were like balls being discouraged, all of whom were frowning and frowning. Only the military advisor is thoughtful, unfathomable, and calm.
When the leaders gathered to discuss the matter, the military advisor said:
"Mr. Zixu, don't have to worry. General, you are a person who can ride and shoot well. Fortunately, there is an archery event in the Olympics. Isn't it just a good thing to show off? Picking the crown is like exploring objects in a bag, isn't it fun! I wonder what the master is thinking?"
"Just talk, laugh, "Zixu smiled awkwardly, "It's inconvenient to bring the bow and arrow that is not brought by a hand."
Zixu was not willing to bow to the competition as an athlete for face. The military advisor knew that it was inconvenient and did not persuade him. He leaned on the foreign sofa, narrowed his eyes, and sucked cigarettes alone.
Military advisor kept his hands full, cleared his throat and said slowly:
"Since that's the case, it seems that we have to move back to China. "
Zixu heard this and raised his heart and hurriedly said:
"Walking in the ocean, I have not made any achievements, and I have returned empty-handed. I am afraid that it is difficult to see the Chinese people, so it is not easy to explain to the Empress Dowager. "
" Then, will we participate in the competition? "Wu You Military Advisor answered questions and seemed to be talking to himself.
" We know nothing about various events and participate rashly. Wouldn't we be blind riding a blind horse? "Zixu said with a bitter face.
cannot walk, and cannot compete, how can this be done? Wu You Military Advisor said with some understanding:
"In fact, it is difficult to say it is difficult, and it is not difficult to say it is not difficult. "
Zixu heard nothing but said hurriedly: "I am a martial artist, brave but not resourceful, and I would like to listen to the military advisor's opinions. "
" How dare you! How dare you! Thanks to the mercy of the commander, the subordinate officials expressed their humble opinions briefly. "
" Military advisor tells you quickly. "
" The leader of the commander led the team to participate in the competition this time is an unprecedented move by China. It can be recorded in history just by the first entry into the Olympic stadium by the Chinese people. What's the trouble? Furthermore, if you succeed in the competition, you will be extremely successful and you will be disappointed in the field, and you will be guilty of being unsuccessful. In view of this, we should adapt to the situation, do our best, and let go of our hands and feet. "
So, this, this, the military advisor was dancing with his eyebrows, spitting spits, and his eyes were slim, and his face turned into a pumpkin face again.
In a few days, the Olympic battle curtain was opened. The Qing Dynasty team divided into six groups and rushed to the court with great confidence.
basketball game , the Qing Dynasty team played against the Belgian team for the first time. Belgian team is a powerful team in the international basketball world now, and it is the first time that the Chinese have a relationship with basketball.
practiced before the game, and the Belgian team ran the basketball and jumped the ball, and practiced with a clear and accurate look. The Qing Dynasty team inexplicably put the basketball off the court, ten The man came to the court with bare hands and stretched his arms and kicked his legs and acted randomly.
The stubborn Belgian coach Ligaldo had no idea about the Qing team. He saw that the team performed well before the game, and was full of suspicion, fearing that the small river would capsize. At the beginning of the game, he was all the main players appeared.
The Qing team took the lead by five juggling experts in their home short clothes.
The mid-line scramble for the ball ignited the war.
Although the juggling experts were smart, able to run and jump, with quick eyes and hands, everyone had a perfect juggling skill, but they had no life with basketball, no defense, and lack of offense. The technique, the pass cannot pass, the lead cannot lead, and the shot cannot be shot, so I had to blindly run around the field with the flying basketballs, like catching the wind and shadows. The Belgian team was like fish in water, and the offense was frequently achieved. At the end of the first half, the Qing team did not score a single point, and the Belgian team won a net of 46 points.
Intermediate break, the Belgian team coach glanced at the Qing team with contemptuous eyes, leaving five substitutes to deal with the second half, and then brought all the main players to a nearby wine bar to regain their energy.
relocated again, the Qing team changed to a brand new lineup, and replaced the juggling masters with five masters wearing mahogany jackets.
played basketball in mahogany jackets The ball is rare in the world. As soon as the Qing team came on the court, a booed in the audience immediately. Several Belgian players looked at each other and thought to themselves: In the first half, several Chinese with quick legs and feet were so vulnerable, and they sent several Magua gentlemen to the court. Wouldn't it be a fool? However, after the battle was opened again, a dramatic change occurred on the court.
The Qing team received the lesson in the first half, changed their tactics, and changed from ball-chasing defense to regional joint defense. Once the Belgian team got the ball, several Magua immediately ran back to their own basket and lined up to block the opponent's way. The Belgian team originally focused on the inside offense, but their defense was terrified. The inside attacked, and they were in a flash.Looking at those jackets again, the ball disappeared immediately as soon as it arrived. In the blink of an eye, the ball appeared strangely on the hands of the forward players. While there was no one defending, they raised their hands and shot, and they all entered the basket hollow and shot without any effort.
Why do you think? Just because these magic artists can not only transform something into nothing and create something out of nothing, but also practice the skill of using a hundred steps through the magic performance.
Basketball sometimes doesn't happen in the game, but now the two referees were busy. As soon as the ball disappeared, they ran around the sidelines, looking around, like headless flies.
To put it short, the Qing team won the chaos and ordered the Belgian team to surrender their heads to the death with 86 to 54. The five Belgian players were all stunned, and the Qing team was naturally full of joy.
Belgian team coach Ligardo returned to the stadium, the final gong had just passed. Facing the crazy audience, he thought he was cheering for the brilliant victory of the Belgian team, so he waved to the stands with a smile, while walking over to shake hands with the referee and scorers one by one, very unsatisfied.
and other eyes fell on the scoreboard, but they were stunned.
"Bang" With a crisp sound of gunfire, players from all over the country rushed out of the starting line of the 800-meter track like arrows. The meteors rushed to the moon, and the only Qing players stood in the starting line.
This Qing contestant in costume is nothing else, but the handsome martial artist who has made the limelight in the Beijing military performance field. "Du! Why don't you run?" Commander Zixu, who was in the formation to supervise the battle, was furious.
" Gongs and drums have not been beaten, and the apprentice cannot do anything." The handsome martial artist replied with a serene sentence of the authentic Peking Opera . It turned out that he started to start by following the opera-singing method. The drummer on the sidelines forgot to beat the drums and drums, so he didn't start.
understands that after coming over, he starts and chases. At this time, the foreign players had already run around the stadium a hundred meters away. Clang, the handsome martial artist started chasing after the drum beat.
"Cha, knock quickly!" Commander Zixu hurriedly ordered. The guys beat the drums faster and faster, and the handsome martial artists are getting faster and faster.
bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, the sound of gongs and drums fell to the ground like rainstorm, and the handsome martial artist ran like a wild horse that broke away from the zombie. Wow, swow, one foreign player after another in a blink of an eye, and the foreign player who ran to the front had thrown off more than fifty meters to the last corner.
In the midst of the boiling crowd, the handsome martial artist was like a colorful whirlwind passing by the finish line.
In the midst of ecstasy, the drummer made a mistake in his busy schedule. The guy in his hand not only did not stop, but instead knocked it back more happily and fiercely, which made the handsome martial artist run more than 200 meters in a hurry. Foreign experts who witnessed this game were shocked and regretted the Chinese player, saying that if this Oriental Scud had not been delayed in the start, it would have raised the world record by more than half a minute.
On the football field, the Qing team fought against the Brazilian team.
Brazil is known as the kingdom of football. All the generals on the court are skillful in passing, cutting, controlling and leading with ease, and are superb. They cooperate with each other and are seamlessly matched. Attack, there are fast in the slowness, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes pushing in the middle, sometimes crossing in the bottom of the side, sometimes short passes infiltrating, sometimes long passes in the attack, and sometimes long passes in the attack. The tactics use changes in many ways, which is dazzling. If you don’t defend, the Brazilians don’t need to defend at all, because the Qing team will not play this round and bare football at all. Since the kickoff, although the Brazilian team has taken advantage of the field, shuttled and flew back and forth like a no-man, and fully demonstrated the art of football in Latin America, but they frequently shot but failed to hit a single shot. The reason is not elsewhere, it is that the Qing team goalkeepers have extraordinary skills.
The Qing team goalkeeper Shi Daming was born with a short figure and had a tight beard. Although this person knows nothing about gatekeeper skills, he has practiced a unique qigong since he was a child. He stood in front of the goal with his legs spread apart. Whenever the Brazilian shot, he would be lucky and stretched out his palm to emit an invisible external energy. Under the influence of this external energy, the Brazilian kicked the ball either missed or shot high.
The Brazilian team members were inexplicably as if they were falling into a mist. The Qing team members couldn't help but laugh, and were happy that they had the best moves of the goalkeepers.
Unexpectedly, joy is so sad. As the first half approaches, Brazilian players fired long-range shots in the army. Shi Daming caught him off guard and just transported his dantian energy to the armpit area, and the ball was already erected into the net.
reopened after halftime. The Brazilian thought he had found the key to open the Qing team's goal, and frequently fired guns from a long range, and launched sneak attacks. However, the football, which was as quick as a meteor, flew to the goal, was like an arrow hitting an arrow. It suddenly slowed down, rolled down, and stopped about two meters in front of the goal. It turned out that in order to prevent the Brazilian from repeating the same trick, the Qing team goalkeeper Shi Daming used his external energy to build an invisible barrier in front of the goal, blocking the goal, like an iron gate closed.
Brazilian team failed to defeat again and was seriously injured. Shi Daming took advantage of the opportunity to send goal and to start counterattack. He put the ball in the penalty area, straightened it, took more than ten steps, took a deep breath, pressed his hands down in front of him, and ran over and raised his legs and kicked.
The momentum is as strong as the ball is as strong as a tremendous force. The football is like a shell out of the borehole, flat and fast. It knocked down the opponent's forward and forward, and then led the defender to a stagger, the direction has not changed and the speed has not been sincere, so he directly hit the Brazilian goal. Brazilian goalkeeper hugged the ball tightly in his arms. But because the ball is coming too strong, people hold the ball, and the ball takes the person to fly to the bottom of the net together.
Look at the goalkeeper again, his head stood out from the broken goal net, like a wire mesh catch a fish, the net rope tightly around his neck, no matter how hard he struggled and teared it, it was useless. It was not until the referee broke the net rope with a fruit knife and the Brazilian goalkeeper who was screaming was pulled out of the net.
Wooah, the Qing team goalkeeper is so successful! How dare the Brazilian act rashly after being hit by this? After serving in the middle circle, he kept his feet in the midfield and shot the control ball. After more than ten minutes, time flowed in vain and neither side made any achievements. The
game is coming to an end, and the score of one to one is about to be maintained until the end of the game. The military advisor had no sudden idea and transferred the general off the court to summon a substitute player who was in a divine position and was close to the front to give him the opportunity. This artist, known as the cat's tail, is best at playing with the jar. He has the ultimate skill in controlling the jar in every part of his body.
After the cat tail went on the field to replace his companion, he took advantage of the Brazilian's lack of care to grab the ball, and picked the ball up with his feet and ran towards the opponent's goal. The football stuck to his head like a pig's skin bladder. When the Brazilian generals came to their senses, the cat's tail had already run to the Brazilian team's goal. A Brazilian goalkeeper jumped towards the football on the cat's tail. The cat's tail calmly stopped and flashed, and gently waved its head. The football slid from the top of its head to its chest, and then rolled along its body to its toes. The ball rose from the bottom of its foot and the football flew into the opponent's empty gate.
The Qing team ended the battle two-to-one.
The Brazilian coach was furious and ran into the field, waving his fists and furiously at his subordinates. Brazilian players have troubles and can't help but shed tears on the stadium.
boxing match. The Qing Dynasty contestants sent three generals, including: Shaolin disciple "A gust of wind", Qigong master "Black-faced Arhat", and the capture master "One-armed Monster" in the boxing ring No. 3, and a gust of wind fought against the famous American general Bill.
After the two sides fought, a gust of wind took defense as the offense. With the superb skills of the plum blossom stake, it moved, sometimes left and right, sometimes front and sometimes back, jumped around Bill like a shadow, making Bill jump as if he had entered the illusion of illusion.
Bill, who has excellent punching skills, suffered from not being able to catch the target, and his quick and fierce fist fell into nothing, like a dog rushing to a fly. After the third round, Bill, who was already tired and dizzy, saw the opportunity to hit a beautiful straight punch , and the opponent fell to the ground. Everyone looked closely and found that it was not a gust of wind that was knocked down, but the referee on the field. The referee covered his chest and got up from the ring, furious and immediately announced that Bill violated the law and was sentenced to lose.
In the ring No. 5, the black-faced Arhat faces British heavyweight champion Di Yat. After the black-faced Arhat came on the stage, he was full of energy and stood in Taichung with a horse and a squat.Diya tried his best to do it, straight punch, hook punch , swing punch , and jab punch fell on the black-faced Arhat like raindrops. Under the heavy punch, the black-faced Arhat remained as a towering iron. It was not until the British giant was exhausted and panting that the black-faced Arhat punched hard. When the fist reached its peak, the energy came to an end, Diat flew into the air, flew over the rope and fell down the stage, and fainted on the spot.
In the boxing ring No. 6, the one-armed monster with only one arm faces Spanish player Krgigerson. As soon as the two sides met, Kqigsen took the initiative and shot a fierce combination of punches from both sides. The one-armed monster flashed into the back, and Zhong waved his one-arm left and right. Krgigerson's arms, which were blocked, immediately fell off white, like two ropes, swinging around on both sides of his body. At this time, the one-armed monster waved its fist and hit the opponent's chest, ribs, head and other effective parts like a sandbag, and hit the rice as much as you want. Seeing that the strength of the two sides was very different, the referee Yibu stopped the game for humanitarian reasons. The master's one-armed monster wins.
high jump competition and pole vault competition are held in the same game. One high and one low two pairs of jumps are far away, set on the east and west sides of the Gitivira Stadium. On the high jump field on both sides of
, Italian player Rodin, British player Brucht and Qing player Peking Opera Wushenying fought psychological warfare against the rising crossbars one after another.
Lao Dan, the champion of the last Olympic high jump, had his arms folded on his chest, and he was calm and composed. He was preparing to make a record.
Brucht chewed betel nut with a high expression. He just set a world record not long ago and relied on his strength to avoid jumping to show his gentlemanly demeanor.
Peking Opera martial artist Shao Zhanying didn't know what tricks he had. He lay on the ground with his legs crossed, trembling his toes, his head rested and his eyes were slit, and he hummed the Peking Opera leisurely:
"I'm watching the mountain view on the city tower, and I hear the chaos outside the city."
This martial artist, Rong Chuan Laosheng, had just sang the excerpt of " Empty City Plan " halfway, and a sensational cheer suddenly broke out in the stands on the east side. It turned out that in the pole vault field, Russian player Ovgnisky was preparing to hit the world record. The good show of the
high jump competition has not yet begun, and the pole vault competition has reached a wonderful moment.
horizontal bar is parked at a height of 3.50 meters.
Ovgnisky only had one chance to try and skip. He turned two pictures on the field, held a long pole in his hand to the starting position, raised his head and closed his eyes and stood silently for a while, and then used his right hand to draw a ten-study on his chest, then raised his hand to the referee and signaled to start a try jump. A powerful and powerful run-up, the pole was successfully flew away! Ovgnisky got up from the mat and ran and danced proudly. His coach ran on the ground with his head raised and tears flowed. The judge ran over and said in an extremely excited voice:
"Congratulations on conquering this height that human beings have never crossed and won the Olympic pole vault championship!"
"Slowly: "The Qing Dynasty translator suddenly emerged from the push and protested, "Mr. Referee, you probably forgot, my Qing Dynasty player has not started to try to jump!"
The referee was dumbfounded, and it took a while before he realized his negligence. The crossbar removed by
is placed again and placed at a height of five millimeters higher than the height that Ovgnisky just crossed. Since the Qing Dynasty players have been avoiding jumps, he must jump higher than Ovgnisky.
The Qing Dynasty miscellaneous actor, known as the king of climbing poles, carried a bamboo pole more than two meters long onto the field, stood near the crossbar, and crawled to the top of the pole. When he looked back, he saw that the crossbar was more than two meters away from his feet. He gestured in the air and shouted "Rise the pole."
The crossbar rose again and again, and reached the top of the frame, but he couldn't raise it any more. The referee made a helpless gesture.
The pole climber saw this, shook his head, and made a helpless gesture like the referee. He waved to the crazy audience in the stands calmly, jumped, and floated past about half a meter above the crossbar.
6 meters O5. All witnesses were shocked.
With the end of the pole vault competition, the competition on the high jump field has also reached a white-hot level. At this time, the contestants were Rodin, Brucht and Shao Zhanying.
Luo Dan ended his jump and crossed three heights: 1.76 meters, 1.78 meters, and 1.80 meters, and finally defeated in front of the cross bar of 1.82 meters.
Brucht and Shao Zhanying competed. The cross bar soared upwards and finally rose to a mouth of 1.9 meters. This height is only two centimeters away from the world record held by Brucht. The Qing players still had no intention of trying to jump, so Brucht walked onto the field arrogantly.
This British sport with the highest bidding call was the most competitive British sport, and he missed the best jump height because he was blindly competing for strength and avoided being missed. He forced himself into the situation of fighting against . As a result, he went out in a panic and lost his standards. He failed three attempts. Not only did he miss the medal, but he also lost the qualification to obtain the lowest ranking.
Brucht withdrew from the field dejectedly.
Shao Zhanying got up from the ground, yawned, and stretched out his waist. He glanced at the crossbar that was 1.9 meters tall, and a look of disdain appeared on his face.
Shao Zhanying asked for a lift. After some adjustment, the cross bar stopped at 2.40 meters. This height is 48 centimeters higher than the world record held by Brucht.
What a bad guy, Wang Shao Zhanying! He moved for a while, took off his coat, retreated thirty meters away, stomped his feet, spitted into his palms, and ran forward a few steps. A string of beautiful kids flipped over the bar after falling to the ground, jumped upwards, and flew over the crossbar with somersaults.
The audience was in an uproar.
The referee suddenly became suspicious when he looked at the high-bottomed boots under Shao Zhanying's feet.
"Your. Take off your shoes." The referee is Japanese.
Shao Zhanying took off his high-soled boots and handed them over
The referee held the boots in his hand, pressed them on the sole of the boots, and knocked them again. He looked over and over again for a while, pointed at the sole of the boots and asked.
"There are springs here?"
"There are no springs, they are all hair-tight paper." Zhan Ying was anxious and said Japanese-style Chinese .
"Take it back and study it."
The six-way surprise soldiers of the Qing Dynasty participated in the competition team were just starting out and achieved brilliant achievements, which shocked the world sports world and also aroused the jealousy of the world's sports powers.
The Italian team leader and the Russian team leader took the lead in the attack and went to the office hall of the Arbitration Committee . The Italian team leader proposed that all high jumpers in various countries use one-foot jumping, but the Qing Dynasty players use two-foot jumping, which should be considered unqualified; the Russian team leader proposed that the Qing Dynasty's pole vaulting sports are called poles, but they are actually climbing poles, which is contrary to the convention.
The Arbitration Committee immediately held a joint meeting after receiving the complaint. After a fierce discussion, the meeting decided: In order to protect athletes from equal competition in high jump and pole vault events, the achievements made by athletes in the above two events in the Qing Dynasty were invalid: to prevent similar situations from happening again, new regulations on high jump and pole vault were immediately added. A single-leg jump is required for high jumps, and a pole vault must be used for high jumps during running.
Italians and Russians just left, and the team leaders and coaches from Belgium, Brazil, the United States, Spain and the United Kingdom came to discuss the achievements of the Qing Dynasty team in basketball, football, boxing and other competitions.
The Arbitration Committee enforced the law impartially. After reviewing the relevant regulations, it believed that the Qing players did not violate the rules in the above events, and the cancellation of their results and competition qualifications was unfair, and it was not in line with the Olympic spirit. Therefore, the opinions of Belgium and other countries were rejected.
Why would the world's sports powers be willing to stop. After some discussion, they decided to take joint action, claiming that if the Qing Dynasty's participating teams were not cancelled, they would withdraw from the competition together.
lawsuit was filed to the Olympic Games Organizing Committee. The officials of the organizing committee looked at the overall situation and saw that if no measures were taken against the Qing Dynasty, the sports event that had been prepared for so much effort would end unhappily.Under pressure, he had to bear the pain of giving up. In the name of the general use of witchcraft to cheat by athletes in the Qing Dynasty, he declared that all the achievements of all the players in the Qing Dynasty were invalid and the next stage of the competition was cancelled.
Sports powers achieved their goal and ran around to tell each other, full of joy. As the news spread, overseas Chinese living in St. Louis flocked to the streets and held a massive demonstration.
The next day, in order to further express their comfort and sympathy for the athletes of the motherland, overseas Chinese from all walks of life invited masters from all walks of life in the Qing Dynasty to perform public performances. Chinese juggling, drama qigong, and martial arts were unparalleled in the world. After the performance began, it immediately caused an unprecedented sensation, and thousands of people in the city of St. Louis were empty.
Wherever the Qing Dynasty performers went, the audience was crowded. In contrast, the Olympic stadium was deserted and cold.
Chinese Kung Fu became popular all over the world at this time.
contest team returned to Beijing. Zixu reported to Cixi about the participation in the competition in front of civil and military officials. When it comes to the Qing Dynasty contestants winning the flag and winning the best, Cixi smiled and danced with her eyebrows.
This moody empress dowager picked up the imperial pen and was about to personally draw up a reward for each meritorious person, two palace maids, ten hectares of land, and some gold and silver. Unexpectedly, when he heard it, it turned out that it was a bamboo basket that was so empty. Suddenly, smoke came from seven orifices and threw the pen on the ground.
Zixu saw this and stopped tactfully, and retreated silently to the side.
Hanlin Academy Grand Secretary Du Jinzhang stepped forward to report:
"The Chinese people first went to the Olympics, but I wonder if they should be recorded in history?"
Cixi glared and shouted, "Don't mention this matter again in the future!"
Therefore, the Qing Dynasty's participation in the Western Expedition has not been included in the official history so far) and has only been circulated among the people.
Official history: In 1928, China sent observer Song Ruhai to Amsterdam, which was the first time that the Chinese entered the Olympics; Liu Changchun, as the first athlete to participate in the Olympics, participated in the sprinting competition of the 10th Olympics in 1932. In fact, these are all funerals compared to the trip to Saint Louis of the Qing Dynasty during the Guangxu period.
