Chapter 192: Three-piece set

Three days passed in a flash, and nearly half of the more than 100 inmates in the prison appealed. Except for six or seven who wanted to fish in troubled waters, but were punished by Yuan Chang heavily, the rest were wronged or framed. With the efforts of Yuan Chang and Guo Jia, they were both acquitted, of course, in the eyes of outsiders, the completion of the case so quickly is all due to Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, Zilong, when you go to Yecheng this time, you must be careful in everything. ”

"The lord rest assured, Yunding will bring Fengxiao back intact. ”

Zhao Yun assured with a firm face.

"With Zilong's protection, I am relieved. ”

Zhao Yun's ability to protect, Yuan Chang had no doubts. In the original history, Liu Bei, Liu Chan, and Zhuge Liang were all protected by Zhao Yun, and the three of them have never been injured.

"Lord, Jiading will bring Wen Ruo back. ”

Yuan Chang listened to Guo Jia's words, but shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "Xun Wenruo's character Fengxiao you know better than me, and I am not reluctant, as long as Fengxiao you and Zilong can return safely, I will be enough!"

Guo Jia and Zhao Yun glanced at Yuan Chang deeply, turned around and got into the carriage, and walked away.

"Lord, if I go far away, will you miss me?"

Dian Wei pinched the orchid finger and asked angrily.

Yuan Chang had a black line on his forehead, and without saying a word, he kicked Dian Wei away, and roared angrily: "You are a big man, what kind of daughter are you doing!"

"Huh!"

Han Sui couldn't stop laughing from the side, but because of Dian Wei's actions, Yuan Chang was much weaker because of the sorrow of parting.

"Let's go, let's go to the provincial village, no one in Dongping County will come to the county yali to report the case for a long time, it seems that we can relax for a while. ”

Yuan Chang's words are right, knowing that Guo Jia is leaving Dongping County, the saddest thing is of course the people in the county, without Guo Jia's help, they don't believe in Yuan Chang's ability to judge cases at all. Therefore, many people do not go to the county office to report the case when they have a case, and they have to wait until Guo Jia comes back to report the case.

The three of them walked slowly all the way to the provincial village, because of the painful lesson of the previous time, Yuan Chang came on horseback this time. The reason why he had to slow down was that Yuan Chang's riding skills were too "amazing", so he had to slow down.

"Hey, this son just said, I won't be able to get you a bad animal!"

Yuan Chang pulled the reins of the horse with a triumphant expression. However, his voice fell, and the black horse under his crotch understood Yuan Chang's words, and the unhappy "Herod" screamed, his hooves raised high, and he almost didn't fall Yuan Chang off.

"Scream again, see if I don't smoke you!"

Yuan Chang was annoyed and angry, and swung his horsewhip and whipped the horse's ass a few times. As a result, the black horse was in pain and kept stepping on the spot, but Yuan Chang didn't stabilize and immediately fell off the horse.

"Hey!"

When Dian Wei and Han Sui saw it, they quickly jumped off the horse, Han Sui went to help Yuan Chang, and Dian Wei used his strength to restrain the dark horse. Under Dian Wei's suppression, the dark horse fell silent after a moment.

"Ouch, my ass!"

Yuan Chang touched his buttocks, baring his teeth and wailing. Dian Wei and Han Sui, who were watching it, wanted to laugh, but they knew that Yuan Chang was in a bad mood at the moment, so they decided not to provoke Yuan Chang.

"My lord, this horse is so irritable, I think it may be injured. ”

Dian Wei used to be a ruthless man in the mountains and forests, and he felt that there was something unusual about this horse, so after suppressing the horse, he checked it. Sure enough, a small branch was pulled out of the horse's hooves, and it was precisely because the branch was stuck in the horse's hooves that the horse was so irritable.

Yuan Chang's culprit turned out to be this small branch, which he took from Dian Wei's hand, smashed it on the ground, and stepped on it a few times in anger.

After stepping back on the horse, Yuan Chang began to think about it.

Before the crossing, Yuan Chang also fantasized about riding on a horse galloping, so he had some understanding of horses. The reason why Yuan Chang fell off the horse so easily was because he lacked two of the three pieces necessary for horses.

The three-piece set for horses includes a Takahashi saddle, stirrups, and a horseshoe.

In the era before Yuan Chang crossed over, the brick family and the beasts had been studying when the three-piece horse set appeared.

First of all, the Takahashi saddle saddle, after research, believes that it should have been invented during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The first point is that the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang have detailed horse harnesses, but there is no high bridge saddle and stirrups, and because of the layout of the terracotta warriors and horses, the number of cavalry is relatively small, and it is arranged in the side corners away from the main formation, which shows that before the Qin Dynasty, the role of cavalry was only reconnaissance, flank outflanking, harassment and blocking, sneak attack and pursuit, and could not become the main force of the battle, let alone independently undertake the entire campaign.

The second point is that Sun Bin in the Warring States Period once commented on the cavalry as follows: "First, it is said that it is to meet the enemy, second, it is said to take advantage of the situation and betray the enemy; third, it is said to chase and scatter and attack the chaos; fourth, it is said to meet the enemy's attack; fifth, it is said to cover its grain and cut off its military route; sixth, it is said to defeat its Guanjin and send its bridges; seventh, it is said to cover up its unpreparedness and attack its unrevitalized brigades; eighth, it is said to attack it slackly and by surprise; nine, it is said to burn its savings and make it useless in the city; and tenth, it is said to plunder its fields and burden its children. These ten are also the benefits of cavalry. ”

From this, it can be inferred that the cavalry at that time was only an auxiliary mission, and could not be used as the main corps to fight. Because there was no Takahashi saddle, the cavalry could easily fall off their horses. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had been able to raid the Xiongnu with cavalry and defeat the Huns who grew up on horseback, so it can be seen that the Gaoqiao saddle should have been invented.

Around 100 A.D., the Huns were defeated by the Eastern Han Dynasty, and most of the Huns began to move west, except for a small number of Huns. Thus, Western historians found in the literature that the Romans fought against the Huns and were amazed by the peculiar saddles of the Huns.

This proves that Takahashi saddles were already common at that time. Although, there are no real artifacts that can prove this.

However, Yuan Chang traveled to this era and saw the existence of Takahashi Saddle with his own eyes, which made people have to believe it.

The other harness stirrup, which is also considered to have appeared at the same time as Takahashi's saddle, is believed to have appeared at the same time as Takahashi's saddle, but most people believe that the stirrup at that time was only a unilateral stirrup to make it easier for cavalry to mount, not for stability. The appearance of bilateral stirrups was by the time of Cao Wei, and many people believed that the reason why [Tiger and Leopard Riding] was so powerful at that time was because of the appearance of bilateral stirrups, which enabled the cavalry's combat power to be brought into full play.

Regardless of the conclusions of the bricks and beasts, at least what Yuan Chang sees now is a unilateral stirrup, which means that the bilateral stirrup has not yet been invented. Yuan Chang wondered, since they already knew how to get a stirrup, why didn't they get a second one? Is it to cut corners?

The last one is the horseshoe, which is also known as a horseshoe. In the era before Yuan Chang traveled, there were many theories, some said that it was in the Zhou Dynasty, some believed that it was in the early Sui Dynasty, and some believed that it was introduced in the Yuan Dynasty. Of course, the most acceptable is the third statement, when the Mongol cavalry fought with the Western cavalry, so they knew the horseshoe as a harness, which is also the reason why the Mongol cavalry was invincible later.

Moreover, in most TV series, horses in the Tang Dynasty did not have horseshoes as a harness. If a few are like this, it can be said that directors and screenwriters have no common sense, but if most of the directors and screenwriters have no common sense, then other people's works will not be made into TV series.

The main reason why the West was able to invent the horseshoe higher was the difference in road surface between the East and the West.

In order to solve this problem, the horseshoe was invented, while the road surface in the east is mostly rammed earth road, which has little impact on the horse's hooves. If the pavement of the East is bluestone pavement, then the invention of the horseshoe must be the priority of the East, and the example of the East being able to make Takahashi saddles and stirrups shows that the creativity of the Easterners is definitely no worse than that of the Westerners.

Of course, no matter how the brick family and the beasts quarrel, Yuan Chang, who is in this era, has the most right to speak. If there was really a horseshoe, then the horse that Yuan Chang rode would not be stuck in the branches, and he would not be thrown off.

One of the reasons why Yuan Chang asked Zhao Yun to find a master of ironsmithing was to let him build bilateral stirrups and horseshoes. Therefore, the other party's ability must be excellent. Therefore, after the arrival of the blacksmith two days ago, Yuan Chang drew a gear and asked the master to build it, if the other party can do it, then the ability is enough. Otherwise, Yuan Chang will have to find the iron master again.

"Lord, the provincial village has arrived!"

Yuan Chang, who was constantly thinking in his mind, suddenly heard Han Sui's call in his ears, and then he knew that he had unknowingly arrived at the provincial village. At the entrance of the village, Zhang Laogen was running towards him excitedly, and when Yuan Chang and the three of them arrived, some villagers went to inform Zhang Laogen, who is now equivalent to the head of the provincial village.
