From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 144 Cavalry Three-piece Suit

Neither the situation around Changshan nor the reactions of the people in the world were as expected by Zhao Tai and Xi Zhicai.

The news of the reform changed the world situation in an instant, and rebellions in various places were quickly quelled. Even the rebels in Bingzhou and Liangzhou were reduced to defensive capabilities.

For a while, it seemed that the world had become peaceful, and the national power of the Han Dynasty grew against the trend, and the overall national power increased significantly.

The life of the people has also become better. For them, it can be said that there is no war.

Good news kept coming to Luoyang, which made Liu Hong and the civil and military officials extremely happy. Liu Hong, who was reluctant to go to court, also started to be a little more diligent for the first time. He began to like going to court. After all, hearing the good news Also pleasant to the ear.

Zhao Tai didn't know how happy Liu Hong was with the imperial court. For him, no matter how the outside world changed, it would not conflict with his goals.

After the council, Xi Zhicai began to recruit soldiers in Changshan County, and the people who were already in high spirits were also unambiguous, and they were very active about enlisting in the army.

Even the reform speeches that have been spread to all corners have not affected them in the slightest. The bad luck of the aristocratic family has nothing to do with them.

If they don't applaud, it would be to give face to the family. After all, the life in the Changshan family is worse than that of ordinary people, and their own influence and appeal are suppressed.

The aristocratic family is no longer the old aristocratic family, at least in Changshan County.

And long before the news spread, the channels for secretly selling iron farm tools to the family had been closed by Zhao Tai, and it was no problem to buy them normally.

Well, ten times higher prices are normal, if not normal.

Logically speaking, when news of the reform came out, the biggest reaction would be among the aristocratic families in Changshan County. However, the reality was that everything was calm, at least on the surface.

Because the knives in the hands of soldiers from all over the place are too sharp, the eyes of those who stare at them every day are full of killing intent, even if they want to do something, they have to be brave.

What they do in the dark is their business, and they dare not contradict Zhao Tai on the surface, but both they and Zhao Tai know that this false calm will not last long.

But in this treacherous situation, where Changshan was surrounded by enemies, Zhao Tai ran to the Puwu County Iron Works, and he didn't even go to the racecourse.

There is only one purpose in coming here. He wants to change some equipment for the war horse. If he has the war horse, he will definitely form a corresponding number of cavalry. If he wants to build a cavalry, he can't afford the three-piece cavalry suit.

Horseshoes, saddles, double-sided stirrups, everything is arranged.

The first pair of horseshoes were forged in the farm tools foundry of the ironworks, but it still took some time for the saddle.

"My lord, can this horseshoe really be nailed to the horse's shoe without any problem?"

Zheng Chen looked at the horseshoe that was made according to Zhao Tai's request. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing of putting shoes on a horse.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Zhao Tai's words, after all, even more miraculous things like muskets had been made, so it was nothing to put shoes on a horse.

The reason for asking is because he has the least respect for breakthrough cognition and his own curiosity.

"Let's find out if you don't see it. Let someone bring an old horse over. Forget it, bring a few more horses so that people can learn more."

Is it difficult to nail a horseshoe?In fact, it is quite simple, but there are also some things that are very particular. The knives for repairing horseshoes need to be specially made.

Of course, the most important point is not to be kicked or kicked to death by the horse when repairing the horseshoe.

This is the reason why Zhao Tai came here in person. Zhao Tai is really good at nailing horseshoes. He mastered this not too difficult skill when he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

However, I still felt guilty the first time. It was quite a different experience to see horses, this animal, look so heroic when others ride them or when you ride them yourself.

But if you are close to a horse and are not familiar with it, only those who are close to it will understand that emotion.

Zhao Tai said to learn more and see more, which made Zheng Chen stunned for a moment before he realized it.

"My lord, do you mean that someone knows this craft? Or does your lord want to do it yourself?"

"Then why don't you come?"

Zhao Tai knew what Zheng Chen wanted to say, and also knew what concerns he had, but if he didn't do it, who would?
He can just move his mouth and let his subordinates figure out a way by themselves, but he can directly teach them why to bother.

"Stop talking nonsense, let you do it and do it."

As the leader of the power, many times this kind of existence would not do the kind of work that is regarded as lowly, but this matter does not apply to Zhao Tai.

Is this the first time for horseshoeing?That would be a big mistake.

Why did the ancients use rotary tillers in the first place?Why did the ancients use chainsaws?Can the ancients understand the use of walkie-talkies?
Those are all taught by Zhao Tai himself. Of course, these are also related to the simplicity and ease of learning. Anyone can learn it, as long as they are willing.

So it's not too strange for Zhao Tai to personally teach some things here. Zheng Chen, You Kan and the others have long accepted it.

To put it bluntly, nailing horseshoes is the same as cutting toenails and wearing shoes. The appearance of horseshoes is to provide protection for horseshoes and make horses move more calmly and comfortably.

Before the advent of horseshoes, the service life of war horses was very short. The main reason was that the horses' hoofs were severely worn and the horses were eliminated.

The horse's shoe was worn out, pus-filled, and even cracked, and it was difficult to use it as a bad horse for carrying things, not to mention running hundreds of thousands of miles on the battlefield.

When Zhao Tai put a horseshoe on the horse, but the horse did not show any overreaction, apart from the people present watching attentively, Zheng Chen, You Kan and the others understood how much benefit this move could bring.

At this time, Zhao Tai took out the three-piece cavalry suit, and they knew the purpose without even guessing.

So Zheng Chen looked at the craftsmen and grooms gathered here, his eyes became darker.

How can such a good thing be spread out, but when he remembered seeing the soldiers on duty nearby when he came here, he felt a little more relaxed.

It's right to think about it, he can know the importance of things, how could Zhao Tai, who has known it for a long time, not prepare.

Control is inevitable, but it is not necessary to keep it under control. These things are no more than guns and ammunition. As long as they are captured, technology leakage is a sure thing.

Looking at the old horse that seemed to have been renewed, its vitality was not diminished after being led around it, and its iron hoof stepped on the gravel without shrinking its feet, Zhao Tai clapped his hands and smiled.

This is what a horse should look like. The primitive way of using horses before was a great waste.

"Remember to ask craftsmen to build these things in batches and use them for all war horses. As for the saddles and stirrups, I won't look at them. The installation of those things is easier than horseshoes."

"Not only war horses, bad horses can also use horseshoes, but war horses should be given priority."

Why not use it if it is useful, improving the service life of all horses, and its transportation capacity are the reasons why Zhao Tai took these things out now.

As for hiding to prevent leakage?Zheng Chen really guessed wrong, he didn't think about hiding the horseshoe, what he had to watch out for was the leakage of the saddle and stirrup.

Zhao Tai didn't even want to hide for a moment, and in the end he held the idea of ​​being able to hide for a while to give himself an advantage.

"My lord, no, if this horseshoe is used even for bad horses, it will be leaked out and made cheaper for outsiders. This subordinate suggests that it should only be used for war horses. Let's talk about bad horses later."

Zheng Chen also knew that it was impossible to hide such simple but practical things for a lifetime, and sooner or later others would copy them, but at that time, he would talk about it. Now he can't wait to smother the technology to death, it is best to smother it for ten or eight years.

"If you want to maintain the superiority of the cavalry's combat power, and even the main combat power is mainly cavalry, you don't need to say that I understand this advice, but you have to be clear that although the cavalry is strong in combat power, it is the most powerful cavalry. An army is not cavalry."

"It's just a horseshoe, and if it leaks out, the loss is far less than imagined."

Zheng Chen thought that this is really the case, Zhao Tai's strongest is explosives, and the army in Montenegro has begun to be equipped with needle-fired guns in batches.

Not to mention the leak of the horseshoe, even if the three-piece cavalry suit is obtained by others, it is hard to say whether the same cavalry will win or lose, but what if the cavalry can only be used as the second echelon of combat power?
The so-called equal combat power has never been equal in Zhao Tai.

Zheng Chen has no objection. After all, what Zhao Tai likes is the mobility of the cavalry. They can cooperate with hot weapons to complete some tactics on the battlefield. , What enemy has a chance of winning against his army?Looking around, there is no one.

"The subordinates understand that these equipment will be built in the fastest time."

Zhao Tai nodded, but what he is thinking about now is not about the cavalry equipment, but who will lead and train his cavalry.

When it comes to this, Zhao Yun is definitely the first choice, but when things have developed to this point, it is hard to say whether Zhao Yun is willing to help him.

"My lord, General Han and Cheng Tian are already on their way back to Zhending, we should go back."

After hearing You Kan's words, Zhao Tai didn't have any special emotions, but felt that even if the internal affairs were left to his subordinates, he would not be able to relax.

What's more, Han Yu made such a great contribution, Zhao Tai had to go to meet this great meritorious official due to emotion and reason.

"Then go back and meet our mighty General Han."

It is not wrong to say that Han Yu is powerful in the world. Others may not know who is the most powerful under Zhao Tai's command now, but they have to know that Han Yu, who is in trouble in Youzhou, is as famous as Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo.

And just when Han Yu returned to Changshan and rushed to the Zhending government office, Xi Zhicai recruited troops with Zhou Ping's assistance, and Zhao Tai solved the problem of cavalry equipment and returned to Zhending.

The pattern of the world is beginning to change, because rebellions in various places have been suppressed, and the meritorious people can't be counted with two hands.

And behind these meritorious people there are aristocratic families, and they want to use this wave of meritorious deeds to exert their strength to protect their own interests.

The most typical is Liu Bei, whose spring seems to have come, but it seems that winter has come.

Whether it is sadness or joy, only he knows the taste.
