Chapter 55 The cavalry has three treasures
In Xuzhou, the business of exchanging horses for horses is progressing very smoothly. During the entire negotiation process, Li Chen could be said to have grasped Gongsun Zan's thoughts tightly.
In the end, after the transaction, a white horse was exchanged for eight healthy horses of the same foot strength. Originally, Gongsun Zan planned to exchange 2,000 healthy horses for 2,000 white horses, but in the end he paid nearly twice the amount of healthy horses.
Gongsun Zan needed these white horses, and Li Chen also said that he would form a white horse Yicong. This is something that Gongsun Zan could not accept. He fought a lifelong battle to make the reputation of Baima Yicong resound throughout the world. Now, when you mention Baima Yicong, you can think of him Gongsun Zan. If Li Chen also formed a white horse Yicong, then I would be confused when I mentioned this white horse Yicong in the future.
Of course, the reason why the transaction was so smooth was that Li Chen's 2,000 white horses were simply perfect. No matter what, a normal white horse would still have some withered and yellow and dull mixed hairs. However, Li Chen's white horses were different, and it can be said that even a single hair could not be found.
Of course, in Gongsun Zan's opinion, this is not a loss. After all, these handsome "white horses" can be used as stallions. At that time, the horse will give birth to a pony, and the pony will give birth to a pony when it grows up, so that it will be endless.
Of course, Li Chen guessed that when Gongsun Zan saw two white horses giving birth to a group of small dark horses, he would definitely feel what a collapsed world view was.
After Li Chen and Gongsun Zan reached a consensus on the transaction, the transaction was handed over to the Chen Chamber of Commerce. Li Chen spent his days thinking about something that could subvert the entire history of the Han cavalry once it came out.
That's right, what Li Chen wants to take out are stirrups, saddles and horseshoes.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no saddles, stirrups and horseshoes. Even after Sima Yi fled to Wei and established the Jin Dynasty, it was not until the Western Jin Dynasty that the princes and nobles gradually had single stirrups. The single kicks and double stirrups in the Western Jin Dynasty were different. The double stirrups were used to borrow force and maintain peace, while the single stirrups were used only to assist the princes and nobles to get on the horse.
This single stirrup is the same as a single ponytail, and it has no practical use. It is aimed at psychological pleasure. The double stirrup and a double ponytail are the same principle. It emphasizes practicality and can maintain balance and borrow strength when displaying some high-skill riding skills.
It is precisely because there is no saddle, stirrup, and horseshoe. Therefore, the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to a high-tech army. Especially when charging on the battlefield, they needed to maintain balance on the horse's back while fighting against the enemy. This often required the cavalry to be skilled after several years or even more than ten years of training.
To put it bluntly, saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes have no technical content and no technical barriers to manufacture. It can even be said that once Li Chen's cavalry is equipped with these things, once they are seized by the enemy, they can be mass-produced in less than a few days.
However, it is impossible not to equip your cavalry with these things just because you are afraid of others to imitate them.
Xuzhou is not rich in cavalry, and there are not many soldiers in the entire Xuzhou army who are proficient in cavalry. It can be imagined that once Li Chen's cavalry is equipped with the Three Treasures of Cavalry, even soldiers who are not very proficient in cavalry can fight the elite cavalry.
The most important thing is that cavalry battles in the past were very labor-consuming. Soldiers needed to clamp the abdomen with their legs to ensure that their balance was not to fall off the horse. While holding weapons, they also had to fight with their weapons. Such cavalry battles were a battle that consumed very high-frequency energy.
However, with the three treasures of cavalry, the saddle can keep balance on the horse's back, the stirrup can leverage force, and the horse's sole can reduce the wear and tear of the horse's hooves. In this way, Li Chen's disadvantage in the source of cavalry can be said to have completely recovered from the horse's horse's time.
As the saying goes, cavalry has three treasures, stable body, strong strength, and long-lasting.
Li Chen drew saddles, stirrups and horseshoes based on his memories of his previous life. This kind of simple painting is not difficult for Li Chen, because he was very talented in painting since he was a child.
At that time, Li Chen was still young, his family was poor, and he had no money to buy paintbrushes. However, he was poor and had ambitions. He had brushes to draw, and even if he didn't have brushes, he had to draw. Li Chen overcame difficulties and obstacles and did not draw paper. Then he used *** to draw on the bed sheet every night, such as elephants, lions, tigers, and he could draw whatever he wanted.
Just because he likes painting since he was a child, Li Chen has been beaten a lot.
Xuzhou, Yunlong Palace.
"Yuanlong, look at these three objects?" Li Chen, who had great painting talent, handed Chen Deng the three cavalry treasures he drew overnight.
Chen Deng took the drawing paper from Li Chen's hand, looked at the three cavalry treasures drawn on the drawing paper, and fell into deep thought.
Chen Deng is very unfamiliar with saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes. This is a product of cross-ages for the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"This..." Not long after, Chen Deng's breathing became rapid. He seemed to have thought about where he was used. His face was full of shock, and he could be said to be amazing for such a design.
"Lord, is this used on cavalry?" Chen Deng is worthy of being a Qilinzi from Xuzhou. He almost didn't take long to guess what was used on the drawing paper.
Li Chen nodded in praise and said, "Yes, this thing is equipped on horses. It can keep the cavalry balanced, and it can also better borrow power."
"Lord, the design of this thing is simply ingenious. Look, if the saddle is placed on the horse's back, it will make people not need to clamp the horse's belly with their legs. Then the legs of a person are hung on the stirrup, and they can use the stirrup to leverage the force. In this way, the person will be no longer there, and the rootless duckweed. In this way, the cavalry's chopping will inevitably be more powerful and powerful." Chen Deng pointed to the saddle and stirrup as if he had discovered a new continent.
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful."
"With this thing, it will inevitably overturn the entire history of the cavalry. And in this way, our cavalry will greatly narrow the gap with the northern cavalry." Chen Deng couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's just lord, where is this thing used?" Chen Deng said, pointing to the horseshoe on the drawing paper.
Li Chen looked at the horseshoe he drew, and then explained to Chen Deng: "This object is called a horseshoe, also called a horseshoe. If a horse runs for a long time, it will take a long time to cultivate when the horseshoe wears to a certain level. And the horses nailed on the horseshoe don't need to care about the wear of the horseshoe."
"Miao, wonderful, even the lord can think of such details."
"It's really a great talent in this world." Chen Deng couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Chen smiled slightly and did not claim his own credit, but said very modestly: "Yuanlong, go and order the craftsmen of the government office to build this item as soon as possible. As soon as Gongsun Zan's horse arrives, they will equip our cavalry with them."
