Chapter 133: Summer Horse Training

Zheng Sheng returned to the racecourse, causing another shock.

Those horses aside, the three bald and humble men with a height of nearly 1.9 meters alone are enough talking points for people to talk about when they are resting after dinner.

Zheng Sheng introduced the three big men to the Wen brothers and sisters, and deliberately said two sentences in an accentuated tone: "Inviting them here is naturally to learn riding." ”

The excited and excited expression on Wen Xiaoting's face that was about to start disappeared, and she said with a gloomy face: "You don't believe that I can teach you well?" ”

Yes, but of course the truth can't be said. However, Zheng Sheng has a valid reason to explain: "No, because I am not alone in learning to ride a horse, there are many people who have to learn together." You can't teach it. So, forget it, right? ”

"A lot of people?" She was a little confused.

"Because everyone in the Tiger Guard Camp must learn to ride horses."

Wen Xiaoting suddenly heard about the Tiger Guard Camp from Liu Wei'er. Looking at it this way, she really can't teach it, but Wen Xiaoting didn't give up easily: "Okay, let the Xianbei people teach the Tiger Guard Camp." I won't teach them, I'll teach you alone! ”

Zheng Sheng shook his head: "I want to learn the best riding skills." ”

Wen Xiaoting glared at Zheng Sheng viciously, "How do you know that my riding skills are not as good as theirs?" ”

Zheng Sheng blinked, "Needless to say, right?" "Plain facts!

Wen Xiaoting turned around and looked at the Xianbei people who began to compare martial arts with him after exchanging names with Wen Wei. Tulan was speeding up his horse, taking his bow sideways, and an arrow hit the arrow stack dozens of paces away!

Riding and shooting is a very difficult thing, Wen Xiaoting can't do it, she knows that she is not as good as her, and after cheering for her brother, she turned around and left.

Soon, she pulled Liu Wei'er over and showed off, saying, "Then I'll teach you to ride with Wu'er." After she finishes her studies, let her compare with you to see how well I teach? ”

"She can't learn to ride a horse!" Zheng Sheng objected, what kind of horse riding do girls learn!

"I can learn, why can't she?" Wen Xiaoting retorted. Liu Wen'er pursed her lips, lowered her head and didn't speak.

Zheng Sheng agreed to this matter with a blank face. He didn't want to have any more pointless arguments with her.

Zheng Sheng has already made a decision. The people of the Tiger Guard Camp must learn how to ride, it doesn't matter if they learn well or not, they just need to be able to ride horses. Of course, those who have that talent are the seeds of the future cavalry.

The specific arrangement is that the Tiger Guard Battalion will send one to the horse farm every month to learn riding. The other will follow Li Anjian to inspect the township, which can be regarded as "actual combat" training. While others continue to train in Qingzhuling.

Just as Zheng Sheng was actively preparing to learn to ride a horse, Sima Yan was buried. In May, Emperor Wu was buried in Junyang Mausoleum.

Then Yang Jun, who covered the sky with one hand, was not satisfied. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant and governor of the capital, and was in full control of the government and military power.

But he knows his own affairs, and there must be too many people at the bottom who disobey him. So Yang Jun thought of a move to consolidate his position.

This method is quite simple, he has been promoted, let's get promoted together! Yang Jun probably thought like this: I have given you benefits, you should obey me, right?

As a result, some people still stood up against him, and even used the fact that he rewarded everyone against him. Yang Jun hated it very much!

Later, Yang Jun was ruthless and demoted those who opposed him from the court.

Zheng Sheng didn't quite understand the big picture of the court.

Now a relative is in power, but this relative is obviously arrogant, inflated, and incompetent. Although he pushed the situation of the Jin Kingdom to a dangerous situation step by step, Zheng Sheng still comforted himself: Yang Jun is not the Eight Kings, and the Eight Kings Rebellion has not yet begun!

He still has a lot of time to spare.

But now, he's worrying about his decision. At this time, Zheng Sheng realized that his previous pattern was too small. At the beginning, he hid in Shunyang Mountain wholeheartedly, wanting to bury his hair and make a fortune.

But Shunyang, between the mountains and forests in the northwest corner of Jingzhou, is really not a place worth standing. This is especially true of Qingzhuling. It's too small there. Moreover, the Zheng family spent a lot of effort and wasted a lot of resources in order to transport various materials to Qingzhuling.

However, Qingzhuling is a "novice village", and the difficulties of the situation are not nothing. So far, it's not bad, is it?

Moreover, the scale of his "career" is still very small, and it is not too late to change it.

Zheng Sheng carefully thought about his future development direction, this "territory" is undoubtedly the top priority, the area is not small, located in the western foot of the Nanyang Plain, three points of mountains and six points of barren forests, and the last point is water and grassland.

Except for the west is the negative Wu Mountain, the other directions are plains, to the east more than 100 miles is Nanyang, to the southeast 100 miles is Xinye, and to the south nearly 200 miles is Xiangyang. Great place indeed.

This will be his horse farm, and with the large fields that will be cultivated in the future, he doesn't know how many people he will be able to recruit in the future. In short, in addition to the Tiger Guard Battalion, the people who settle here will be a very powerful force behind him, and they will also be his source of soldiers.

In addition, Zheng Sheng also plans to move some unimportant workshops out of Qingzhuling and here. For example, paper mills. In this way, a lot of transportation costs will be saved.

Qingzhuling, as his "big rear", should leave the * workshop, iron smelting workshop, and fireworks workshop, these workshops are very important, and it is better to hide them in the mountains of Qingzhuling.

However, the emergence of the new village caught Zheng Sheng a little off guard.

Zheng Sheng was a little helpless, in this matter, the people in Lijia Village were actually a little unreasonable.

At the beginning, the people in the spring breeze also went all out to fight against the thieves! Why did they become thieves?

Zheng Sheng had no choice but to separate them. A new village becomes a new village on the left and a new village on the right.

The first guards trained in riding have finally arrived.

However, Zheng Sheng's first concern was Li Baiguo, who came with him, and he brought an iron pipe.

Li Baiguo regarded the treasure subway tube as if it was handed to Zheng Sheng: "Shizi, I underestimate the difficulty of drilling and chiseling, and such a pipe will at least cost half a month of work by a good craftsman." ”

Hearing such news, Zheng Sheng made up his mind to stop this matter, and the blacksmiths should develop weapons. Iron pipes, he has to exchange them himself.

Although, the quality of the knife is not good. Pure iron, he doesn't plan to exchange it either. Not only is iron wasted, but the quality of the forged knife is not good. Zheng Sheng plans to exchange a batch of "steel that is most suitable for making cold weapons", so that the refined knives will be very good!

He left Li Baiguo in the territory, and then handed him the newly exchanged steel in the gap between riding training.

This time, the steel knife smelted by Li Baiguo was indeed extremely sharp, and it was a better knife than a hundred steel knives. But it was still brittle, and some parts of the blade shattered after a dozen blows. This kind of weapon obviously cannot be used in actual combat.

Li Baiguo shook his head: "No, these irons are indeed very good, but they can't be used as weapons." A craftsman creates a weapon, just as a farmer cultivates a seedling. To know them, to know them very well, to be familiar with them as if they were your own skin. ”

Li Baiguo touched the steel in his hand, "And I don't know about it." ”

Zheng Sheng once again put down the matter of sword refining, and he had to devote himself wholeheartedly to the learning of horsemanship.

The first batch of the Tiger Guard Battalion to come was the first one of the guards. Zheng Quan, Zheng Shang, Li Chongjing, Xiao Suzi, Wang Qian and others also arrived.

The Tiger Guard Camp wants to learn to ride a horse, and of course the people in the academy have to learn more. Even, they should learn better and study for a longer time.

One day in May, the riding instructors began a time that gave them a lot of headaches. Moreover, this time will last for a long time......

After the riding competition, the three of them also recognized Wen Wei, the fierce general of their tribe who had defeated Wen Li. Wen Wei asked to teach them, and Zheng Sheng of course agreed.

The three of Xianbei plus Wenwei, the four of them led the team and taught separately.

Zheng Sheng: They began a "struggle" with horses.

However, the horses brought by the bald department were indeed too tall and too big for Zheng Sheng.

Therefore, they practiced riding for the smaller Nanyang horses. However, those ponies are not suitable, they are too small to withstand the toss of Zheng Sheng and the others.

Zheng Wen sent him a new batch of adult horses.

In the days of riding training, after everyone got acquainted with each other, the bold character of the Xianbei people was revealed. But there is a slight difference. Yangzan is a little arrogant, and his riding skills are also the best. Tulan loves to drink, but has the most hearty personality. Sheburi is a little taciturn, but in terms of riding guidance, he has a unique insight. What are the shortcomings of the people he leads, he can point out with a few words.

Compared with the ease of the three people in the bald department, Wen Wei seemed to be a little difficult, he had only learned riding before, and had never taught anyone. However, this will also be an improvement, Wen Wei while groping by himself, while learning the skills of Xianbei people, I feel that my riding skills have improved a lot.

Compared with Wenwei, Zheng Sheng felt that he had returned to the stupid state when he was studying at school. There is a lot of attention to even a simple posture of getting on and off the horse. Zheng Sheng had a headache. He also understands that, just like Zheng Donggu practiced knives back then, these actions must allow the body to form a mechanical memory.

The guards of the Tiger Guard Battalion were in good and bad condition, and the good ones learned quickly, and when they got on the horse, they began to tremble all over their bodies, and then they were scolded by the irascible Tulan.

The two girls were the most relaxed people in the entire training ground. The horse that Liu Wei'er rode was also the only Nanyang young horse.

Although no one forced them, Wen Xiaoting held her breath, Liu Wei'er was also very serious about learning to ride a horse, but she learned better than some guards.

A month of training is finally over.

Zheng Sheng asked them to choose the best learner in their team. He's going to smoke someone.

The bald trio discussed it alone.

Tulan shook his head and said, "I don't think any of them have learned very well. A month was too short, and they barely learned to climb on horseback. It takes a few months to learn to ride and it will take you to get results! ”

Sheburi chose someone for him: "You can't say these things. Otherwise, it will reach Zheng Shizi's ears and cause his displeasure, won't our business be completely finished? Moreover, they are not the children of our tribe who grew up rolling on horseback, so they can't be too demanding. ”

Tulan grinned, "I'm not stupid. Rest assured! ”

In the end, Zheng Shang, Ye Jun, Wei Shuqiao, and Zhang Hongshu were selected.

In other words, there were only two people left in the first Shi of the guard.
