Flying Horse Battalion.

Since Li Yi returned from Bingzhou, he moved the Flying Cavalry Battalion and the Trap Camp to the vicinity of Wushuang City, after all, the Huns had completely surrendered at this time, and it didn't make much sense to leave them around Meiji. In addition, when Lu Zhi decided to resign, Li Yi also moved the Hun Battalion and renamed it the Wushuang Battalion as his personal guard.

At this time, he was riding on a horse and casually wielding the Heavenly Dragon City Breaking Halberd, which sounded for a long time, and Tong Feicai on the side asked with a smile, "Lord, how do you feel?" ”

"Not bad! Many of the actions could be done more easily. Li Yi turned over and dismounted, nodded, and then asked, "What about the effect of the soldiers?" ”

"More than 100 soldiers have been selected for testing, and according to the orders of the lord, these people have never been able to master their riding skills, and as for the effect...... With Takahashi Saddle, soldiers who are proficient in riding can make more complex movements, and even soldiers with poor riding skills can quickly improve their riding skills. Tong Fei looked at Li Yi with bright eyes and said.

After a pause, Tong Fei said again, "As for the horseshoe, although it is impossible to measure anything in a short period of time, according to those old people who raise horses, this thing can well reduce the loss of horseshoe." ”

Tong Fei's tone was full of admiration and admiration, because he really didn't understand how he, the lord, could come up with such a miraculous thing.

"Hehe, it's good to be effective~" Li Yi chuckled, and he gladly accepted Tong Fei's gaze. After all, these two are indeed the big killers that bring change to the cavalry! A real killer!

The cavalry three-piece suit, bilateral stirrups, Takahashi saddle and horseshoe, this is the standard configuration of the future cavalry, and it can be said that all of them are indispensable! But if there is one that has the least effect, it is undoubtedly the bilateral stirrups!

Bilateral stirrups allow cavalry to have a point of strength, which in turn saves stamina during marching. At the same time, it can also allow beginners to quickly improve their riding skills. But in fact, when fighting, bilateral stirrups basically don't have much effect! Because it is impossible for anyone who is proficient in riding to rely on stirrups to maintain the balance of his body while fighting.

Because the only result of that is to separate the foot from the stirrup...... So whether it is Li Yi or others, they will only maintain their balance by clamping Ma Fu when fighting. At the same time, it's easier to exert force!

So when he was a child, Li Yi did not hesitate to take out the bilateral stirrups in exchange for fame and the attention of the imperial court, and kept the more important Takahashi saddle and horseshoe.

What is Takahashi saddle used for? Simply put, fasten the cavalry on horseback! Before the Takahashi saddle, the cavalry could easily slide back and forth due to the force exerted during battle, which was a very dangerous thing in battle! And the role of the Takahashi saddle is to fix the cavalry at a point on the horseback, and even add a backrest to the cavalry! That is, a fulcrum! This can be said to be undoubtedly the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

As for the horseshoe, it did not have much effect on the cavalry, but it was undoubtedly the most important piece of equipment for the horses under the crotch of the cavalry. Because it prevents the horse's hooves from wearing! It may not sound like much, but anyone who owns a horse knows that once a horse's hooves are worn to a certain limit, it is impossible to walk, let alone ride, at all. And what is the use of a horse that cannot walk?

Especially in this era, most of the roads are full of gravel and other debris, even if it is only those inferior horses used to pull goods, the loss of horses' hooves is very large. And once there is a horseshoe, it is equivalent to putting shoes on the horse, and if you want to wear out the horse's hooves, you have to grind off this piece of iron first. In this way, the service life of the horse is naturally increased by I don't know how much.

"Give the order to all the horses of the Flying Cavalry Battalion to be equipped with Takahashi saddles and horseshoes! Also, these two things must be kept strictly confidential! Especially the horseshoe! Li Yi looked at Tong Fei and said in a deep voice.

"No!" Tong Fei replied respectfully when he heard this. In fact, even if Li Yi doesn't say it, Tong Fei will do it, after all, who wants to share this kind of good thing with others?

Speaking of which, there is another reason why Li Yi dedicated the bilateral stirrups to the imperial court, that is, the difficulty of imitation. There is no doubt that bilateral stirrups belong to the things that will be seen at a glance, after all, unilateral stirrups already exist in this era, so what about hanging one more? But neither Takahashi saddle nor horseshoes can guess the effect at a glance.

In particular, horseshoes are nailed to the horse's hooves, and it is basically impossible to see them. However, even so, Li Yi still only planned to equip the Takahashi saddle and horseshoe with the flying cavalry battalion, at least at the moment, with Li Yi's forces, he could not afford to raise more cavalry.

Back in Wushuang City, Li Yi accompanied Cai Yan and the two daughters, who were getting closer and closer to production, and continued to be busy. The proximity of the troubled times, or the troubled times that have already begun, make Li Yi full of a sense of crisis. Because in the troubled times, his reputation and his record will bring him many advantages, but also many disadvantages.

So he didn't dare to stop at all, but had to keep getting stronger! So how do you get stronger? Change! Develop!

"Fengxiao, pass the order, from now on, all the places where the number of garrisons is more than 1,000 people, all set aside a piece of land for the soldiers to carry out the tuntian!" Li Yi looked at Guo Jia and said in a deep voice.

Since Guo Jia became Li Yi's subordinate, Li Yi directly handed over the shadow to him. Because he found that Guo Jia was obviously more interested in collecting and analyzing intelligence than dealing with tedious things such as paperwork. However, because of this, Guo Jia also had to be responsible for helping Li Yi pass the order.

"Tuntian?" Guo Jia looked at Li Yi suspiciously and asked.

"Not bad! Although the soldiers stationed in the city are responsible for the defense of the city, most of the time, they can be said to have nothing to do. In this case, it is better to let them carry out tuntian, do not ask too much, and self-sufficiency can save a lot of grain and grass consumption! Li Yi said in a deep voice.

"In addition, in addition to tuntian, a large amount of wasteland must be opened up for farming! At the same time, build a large number of underground granaries in Wushuang City in case of emergency! Li Yi looked at Guo Jia and kept saying.

"My subordinates understood." Guo Jia replied respectfully when he heard this.

"Also, we must increase the intensity of mineral mining in the territory! And those two salt lakes, too, should be mined more! In the future, these things will be very scarce......" Li Yi said in a deep voice.

"But I'm afraid there will be a shortage of manpower, although the lord has changed the tax law to encourage childbirth, but it will take time to ......," Guo Jia said with some embarrassment.

"Then send an order out and recruit the world's outcasts! Tell them that if they are willing to move to Bingzhou to open up wasteland, as long as they can plant, they can take as many acres of land as they want! At the same time, I will also waive their taxes for three years! Li Yi said in a deep voice.
