Three Kingdoms: Faint King, starting from forcing Dong Zhuo to offer his granddaughter

They don't last long, which can be a headache.

The horses produced by the Xiongnu can withstand consumption.

But the big man does not have that condition, and the cost of training a batch of good-blooded war horses is very expensive.

So the cavalry of the big man are all treasures.

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt very curious.

How else can the war horse be maintained?

"Your Majesty, the consumption of cavalry in combat is inevitable."

Yuan Shao said seriously.

Everyone knows that the big man finally got tens of thousands of Xiongnu horses, and the emperor naturally regarded them as very precious.

but,

No matter how precious it is, it cannot be used as a vase.As long as it is on the battlefield, it will definitely be worn out.

"Waste is inevitable, but we can reduce it."

"I'll show you something nice."

Liu Bian made a gesture, and Xiao Lianzi immediately took out a brocade box and walked down.

Hundreds of officials stretched their necks to see,

I see,

Inside the brocade box lay a crescent-shaped piece of iron, and everyone's faces were dumbfounded.

"Isn't this a piece of iron with a special shape? What kind of good thing is it?" Everyone thought to themselves.

Veteran Chen Ji and others held it in their hands and looked through it carefully.

Still don't see what's so special about it.

After passing it around, Liu Bian asked with a smile, "Zhu Qing, can anyone guess what this humble thing is used for?"

Everyone shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.

It was sent back to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo picked it up and looked it over carefully,

He suddenly woke up and said, "The shape of this object is very similar to the horseshoe print. Could it be that His Majesty intends to put it on the horseshoe?"

As a veteran with more than 30 years of combat experience,

Dong Zhuo spent most of his life dealing with war horses.

He has changed no less than ten war horses.

But no matter how good a horse is, its hooves will crack after running for a long time.

Therefore, he guessed that the thing His Majesty took out was used to fix the horse's hoof.

"Grand Master Dong did not disappoint me."

Liu Bian smiled, and continued,

"This thing is called a horseshoe. Nailing it on the horse's shoe can not only greatly reduce the loss of the horse's hoof, but also increase the ability of the horse's hoof to grip the ground, speed up the running speed of the horse, and improve the combat momentum of the cavalry!"

"If the horseshoe is worn out, just replace it with a new one. With it, as long as the horseshoe is not killed, injured or old, there is no need to retire!"

"Its principle is like putting shoes on a war horse."

people,

I'm dumbfounded!

Such a small piece of iron actually has such a big effect?

The civil servants may not be so excited, but all the generals can't sit still.

The fat on Dong Zhuo's excited face kept trembling, and he held the horseshoe in both hands and said loudly, "As far as the cavalry is concerned, this is a god!"

"Your Majesty is so clever that he can invent such a good thing. Blessed are our great war horses!"

"God, god!"

"Put shoes on the war horse? Such a simple truth, we have fought all our lives and never thought of it?"

"On behalf of the world's cavalry, thank you for your majesty's supreme kindness!"

The generals knelt down excitedly.

They now know very well how valuable a small horseshoe is!

Reducing the loss of war horses is just one of them.

What is more important is experience and tacit understanding.

For cavalry, the horse is their closest combat partner.

The longer the time of fighting together, the more tacit the cooperation between man and horse will be.

At the same time, the war horse will also accumulate experience.

Naturally, it is stronger and more effective than the newly trained horses!

In the past, the war horses would have to be replaced every one or two years. No matter how experienced the veterans were, they would not be able to display their greatest combat prowess on new horses.

Therefore, prolonging the service life of war horses can indirectly improve the combat capability of troops, and can also reduce the casualty rate of cavalry!

therefore,

This thing invented by the emperor is definitely a cavalry artifact!

"General Yuan Gonglu, I will entrust you with the task of supervising the manufacture of horseshoes."

"Well done, I will reward you a lot."

There is another sentence at the end, which Yuan Shu himself can comprehend: If you do not do well, you will be punished heavily.

He quickly took the order, "I promise to complete the task!"

【Ding! 】

[The host greatly promotes the horseshoe, and the cavalry combat capability of the big man will be greatly improved. 】

[Reward National Games +5w. 】

Sure enough, taking out these inventions can increase the fortune of the country.

Liu Bian was overjoyed, he had many such things.

Chapter 95 Founding a school and establishing the Imperial College

A horseshoe won 5 national fortunes. At this speed, it is not difficult to save 100.

Liu Bian thought for a while and decided to take out another thing.

"Ministers, I would like to ask you a question, what is the most important factor in making the country strong?"

Hearing this, everyone thought about it.

Making the country strong was the lifelong ambition of many of them.

When the country is in crisis, many people are looking for a way to save the country, so naturally they have thought about this issue.

So Liu Bian soon heard a lot of answers,

"If you want to make the country strong, you must have a strong military force as a guarantee! It can not only deter barbarians from all directions, but also stabilize the country."

Yuan Shao said.

What he said is also true, if a country does not have a strong military force as a guarantee, people outside will bully you, and people inside will not obey you.How can this country be stable, how can it develop and become strong?

But his answer was wrong, because what he said was not the fundamental factor.

How can we have a strong military force?

Shouting slogans, can it appear out of thin air?

"The wealth of the people makes the country strong. If the common people can live a good life, the country will naturally become stronger."

Veteran Ma Riyun said.

Liu Bian still kept smiling and didn't speak.

Obviously, that wasn't the answer he wanted to hear either.

"Cao Mengde, I want to hear your opinion."

After hearing several answers, Liu Bian was not very satisfied, so he asked Cao Cao.

Cao Cao replied,

"Returning to Your Majesty, I think the root cause of wanting to make the country strong is talent!"

"Only with talents can we build a strong military force, govern the country well, and let the people live a good life."

That's right,

That's talent!

Whether it is fighting a war or governing a country, talents are fundamental.

Without the support of good talents, no matter how strong a country is, it will collapse.

"Where do you think talents come from?"

Hearing the answer he wanted, Liu Bian asked with a smile.

At present, the imperial court has two official talent selection methods, namely: investigation and recruitment.

The procuratorial examination is similar to elections, a system in which talents are elected as officials from the bottom up.

There are roughly four criteria for probation:

The first is to be virtuous and innocent, the second is to learn and practice, and to be a doctor of classics; the third is to understand laws and regulations, to be able to resolve doubts, to answer questions according to chapters, and to be a censor in the text; the fourth is to be resolute and simple, not to be confused when encountering things, and to be clear enough Only when the decision is made, he is appointed as the three assistant orders, and all of them have the behavior of filial brother and honest public.

It is said in history that four subjects are selected.

And this method is mostly chosen from Xiaolian, Maocai, and virtuous Fangzheng.
