Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Wako and I'm Answered
This little episode passed, and besides, he continued to practice horseback riding, but he still jogged slowly and circled around the school yard.
"Very well, my lord, it's a bit of a look." Ji Chang rode a horse and followed step by step, and kept encouraging.
"You can hurry up." Besides, he raised his whip and said.
Then he gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse rushed out with a whoosh, like a rocket, and as he grabbed the horse's mane nervously and galloped, the horse seemed to be angry, and suddenly let out a neighing and suddenly stood up and threw him away.
Besides, this time he didn't have his ass on the ground, but he still stood firmly on the ground.
"The beast didn't understand me, so I told it to speed up slowly, but it rushed out like a monkey." Besides, he was angry and ruined.
"My lord, it's not to blame. The force with which you clamp the horse's belly may be too heavy, and if you want to accelerate slowly, do not clamp the horse's belly, but by putting the reins hard. Let's put it this way, my lord, mature riders usually don't clamp the belly of the horse, that will hurt the horse. Ji Chang said.
"Ah, is that so?" Besides, I don't understand.
"My lord, riding boots have barbs, and a horse's belly is the softest, and the most unbearable thing is to be pierced. Generally this is only done when it is most critical, that is, when it is time to run for your life, and the horse will understand that it is to run for your life at all costs. ”
Besides, scratching your head, aren't all novels written about the acceleration of the horse's belly? It seems that the novelist is really unreliable for his grandmother.
He looked at the riding boots on his feet, and sure enough, there was a layer of barbs.
He borrowed his riding suit and riding boots from the guards, and he didn't do it himself. It turned out that he didn't expect to ride a horse, but Zhang Whale reminded him, plus yesterday Wudinghou analyzed that he might have to go to Fujian to station, that place is a land of tigers and wolves, it is necessary to learn to ride a horse, at least you can add a means of escape.
"My lord, are you riding a horse for the first time?" One of the guards asked.
"It's not the first time, it's the second time, but it feels like the first time, I didn't get thrown off the last time I rode a horse." Besides, I wondered.
"My lord, the last time you rode it must have been a tame military horse, because it is used to being ridden and is relatively docile, and generally does not tear people off. This horse has never been ridden before, and it is very strong, and to be honest, you are practicing both horsemanship and horse training now. However, the real mount must be tamed by itself, in order to achieve the integration of man and horse. Ji Chang said.
Besides, nodding, I didn't expect the horseback rider to say so much.
"My lord, you are amazing, really, the average horse trainer may not be as good as you when they start to train horses, it is too normal to fall into a lot of meat." A guard.
"You mean that as long as you don't get killed, you're a good man?" Besides, he laughed.
"Pretty much." Ji Changdao.
The crowd burst into laughter.
Besides, continuing to practice, this time he still jogged slowly, and then, as Ji Chang taught, loosened the horse's reins little by little, and sure enough, the horse began to accelerate slowly until he no longer loosened the reins.
There is a door, and I am secretly happy in my heart, it seems that the horse can still communicate with people, as long as the right way is found.
At noon, they sent people to a nearby deli to buy hot steamed buns, sauced beef, wine, and hot tea.
Besides, after eating four steamed buns and drinking a large cup of hot tea, they were satisfied, while the guards swallowed steamed buns, sauced beef and old wine together.
"Did you ever live in a barracks?" Besides, he asked.
Ji Chang said with a smile: "My lord, we are all from the army, and some brothers are selected from the people, and they will also be sent to the military camp for half a year or a year. If you ask us if we are worse than soldiers, we can't fight, we can't endure hardships? My answer is that we are at least a few points better than the best in the army. ”
Besides, he nodded: "That's good, there may really be a tough battle in the future, don't just care about escorting me and escaping." ”
"My lord, are you going to war? Where to go, out of the plug to answer me? ”
"It's good to go out of the jam and fight, I haven't enjoyed the desert scenery for a long time."
"Yes, since the Jiajing period, the emperor has strictly restrained the border army, and he is not allowed to provoke the border without permission, and he has not fought a big battle for decades."
When the guards heard that there was a tough fight, they all gathered around to inquire.
"It's possible to get out of the jam, but it's more capable of going to the coast to fight pirates." Besides, he groaned.
Of course, he didn't dare to say the specific task, not to mention that this specific task was still Wu Dinghou's analysis, and it was difficult to say whether it was such a thing.
"This ......"
When the guards heard that they were going to fight pirates, their interest was low.
"What's wrong? Are pirates and pirates harder to fight than the Mongol tribes? Besides, he asked.
"No, my lord, these are two different things...... one of the guards said again.
"What's the matter, let's hear it." Besides, he asked.
"My lord, fight with the Mongols or any tribe outside the Saiwai, simply, anyway, the people outside the Saiwai are easy to identify, they will fight when they see it, they will kill when they see it, the strong men will be beheaded, the old and weak will also be killed, the women will belong to the brothers, and the children can be sold for money if they are caught. Needless to say, the cattle and sheep naturally rushed back if they couldn't eat. Ji Chang said.
"This ...... That's too barbaric, isn't it? Besides, he smacked his tongue.
Is no one abiding by the Geneva Treaty?
He thought about it for a while, and he smiled bitterly, even if it was a year away, how could there be a Geneva treaty in those years, and even if there were, no one would abide by it.
Ji Chang smiled bitterly: "My lord, every time those barbarians break through the border fortress and enter the interior, what they do is burn, kill and loot, just like wild beasts." So every time we go out to fight, it is revenge. ”
"Well, what's the difference between a pirate or a pirate? Isn't it also true? He continued to ask.
"My lord, this matter is too complicated, every time the official army fights with the Japanese invaders, they are very cowardly, and there are many specific reasons." A guard.
"What a complicated method? Isn't it just that there are some families along the coast who collude with pirates and pirates? Besides, he said.
"This is just one of them, in some places along the coast, not to mention the big families colluding with pirates, that is, ordinary fishermen help pirates, and even many fishermen are also pirates. Ji Changdao.
"Isn't it a bit like the salt gang in Yangzhou?" Besides, he asked.
"The Salt Gang?"
The guards didn't react, the brain circuits of the adults were too big, why did they jump to the Salt Gang all of a sudden?
"I mean, is it that the local fishermen are all involved in armed smuggling, and when the imperial court sends officers and soldiers to surround and suppress them, they will fight against each other and become a member of the pirates."
"yes, that's what it means." Ji Changdao.
"My lord, this is the most troublesome thing. If you go to kill the Japanese and kill them, some people will go to the court and say that the officers and soldiers will kill the good and take the merits and kill the good people. Although the officers and men felt wronged, they could not tell clearly, and many of the people who were killed were indeed not Japanese people, but people from big coastal families or local fishermen. After the court verified, the soldiers were guilty instead of merit. ”
"It turned out that Hu Zongxian, the governor who exterminated the Japanese invaders, was killed alive in prison by their people in the court because he offended several major coastal forces." A guard gritted his teeth.
Besides, pondering, Hu Zongxian is not a famous general, and it is ugly to lead his troops to suppress the Japanese invaders, but after all, he has a meritorious service in exterminating the Japanese invaders, and finally the civil official gave him a charge of Yan Song's henchmen and sent him to prison, Emperor Jiajing has always wanted to release him, but he failed to do so, and finally died tragically in prison.
"My lord, you're not talking about playing, we're Jinyiwei, whether it's in the desert or along the coast, we don't have these tasks, unless it's to catch the officials who committed the crime." Ji Chang wondered.
"I'm just talking about fun, don't take it personally." Besides.
In addition, he continued to practice riding until the evening, and basically learned how to control the speed of the horse, but he could only run a single line, and many riding skills had not yet been introduced.
"My lord, you are very remarkable, this is a horse from scratch, generally speaking, it takes ten days and eight days for a horse trainer to tame a horse." Ji Changdao.
"Let's see if I can tame this horse in ten or eight days."
Besides, he looked at the white horse next to him leisurely and smug with his hooves raised, and his face was proud, and he looked down on him at all. He could only stare dryly, and he didn't have a temper at all.
This is a royal horse, you can't use Wu Zetian's three-plate axe, whip, awl, and knife, it's too inhumane.
Wu Zetian has a knack for taming horses, first use a whip to whip, and then use an awl to tie if he is not satisfied, and if he is not satisfied, he will directly kill and eat meat.
In the past two days, Murong Yanran and Zhou Dingcheng have been running about the recruitment of personnel, urging them to send personnel over from all over the country, and they told them last night that they would increase the number of primary candidates, preferably to 50,000, and then finally select 5,000 people among these 50,000 people.
The two of them were in a daze when they heard this, and they didn't know what kind of legion they wanted to build, and the probability of choosing one out of ten was too preferred.
The two of them were a little difficult, so they had to say to each other, don't look at some people saying that it is okay to send 50,000 people, but it is just to say, it is not easy to really do it, especially when the deadline is so urgent.
In the end, it was decided to adopt a compromise approach, first asking 10,000 people to be sent from all over the city, and then posting recruitment posts in various parts of the capital, and recruiting 40,000 people locally and in the vicinity.
Besides, I wrote the recruitment post last night, and today I asked someone to copy a few copies, and then post them in the streets and alleys of the city, as well as in the nearby counties and towns. Fifty guards took the order, and for a time the streets and alleys were full of excitement.
The recruitment date was set five days later, and this deadline was set to take into account the fact that the people sent from all over the country happened to arrive in Beijing, so that everyone would be mixed together and would not attract attention.
After returning the two horses to the stable, the groom came up to check on the horses, and there was a look of displeasure on his face, as if he had ruined the two horses.
These grooms came with the horses, and only they knew how to feed the horses, and they offered them as if they were ancestors.
Seeing the whip in his hand, a groom was furious: "This horse can't be whipped with a whip." After saying that, hurry up and check the condition of the horse.
Besides, he didn't beat the horse with a whip, but he always had a horse whip when riding a horse, right? This is the minimum equipment.
