Liu Mang was going to find Man Gui, because the spark of inspiration came out again!

On two occasions before, a spark of inspiration sparked a little spark, but it couldn't burst out.

Maybe it's because I practiced getting on the horse today and fell countless times, and my inspiration was finally shattered! Burst!

ran out in a hurry, almost colliding with Liu Bowen.

"Lao Liu, hurry up and go, go with me to find Man Gui!"

The attacker finally chased after him and forcibly put on Liu Mang's clothes.

"I have a great invention!"

"What?"

"Stirrups!"

Although the stirrup is a small object, it has played an immeasurable role in the history of human horseback riding!

Stirrups are not only convenient for the rider to get on and off the horse, but more importantly, because the feet have a place to pedal, the rider's body is more stable and easier to exert force.

A warrior who uses stirrups has a burst of power that is more than twice as strong as a warrior who does not use stirrups!

The great role of stirrups, as well as related technical issues, Liu Mang didn't have the heart to think about it, and he couldn't think about it so deeply.

He only knew that with stirrups, it would be much easier to get on and off the horse.

The most important thing is that over the years, Liu Mang has always felt very ashamed of his identity as a traverser.

As a time-traveler in the twentieth century, no matter how ignorant and incompetent you are, you should always invent something new.

Liu Mang has also tried before, but has never succeeded.

The stirrup, which is both simple and useful, was finally invented by Liu Mang after "thousands of falls" after practicing getting on and off the horse! Oh, to be exact, he "remembered" it.

Although Liu Bowen is smart, he is not good at riding horses, and he can't understand what the "stirrups" mentioned by the young master Liu Mang have any effect.

The two found Man Gui, and after hearing this, Man Gui was also at a loss.

Man Gui is too good at riding horses, and for him, the "stirrup" thing is really a bit redundant.

However, seeing that Liu Mang was so excited that it was no longer presentable, it was inconvenient for the two to sweep Liu Mang's excitement, so they could only follow him and run to Qi Wuhuaiwen's blacksmith shop.

Liu Mangbi explained for a long time, and Qi Wuhuaiwen finally figured out the structure and purpose of the stirrup.

Stirrups may seem simple, but casting requires molds and is time-consuming. However, Qi Wuhuaiwen did not use the casting method, but made a sum of iron bars.

Although there are some differences in structure, it is sufficient for the need.

Liu Mang pulled Liu Bowen and Man Gui again, found a war horse, and hung the stirrup on the saddle.

Liu Mang personally demonstrated, although the posture of "moving the saddle and recognizing the stirrup" was very funny, but it was indeed much more convenient to get on the horse.

Man Gui was still puzzled.

In his opinion, with more of this thing, it would be troublesome to get on the horse.

couldn't help Liu Mang's eyebrows fluttering and persuaded him, Man Gui still got on the horse and tried.

"Huh?"

After riding a horse and running around, Man Gui finally showed surprise on his face.

"This thing isn't bad!"

Although I am not very used to it, the support of my feet is indeed conducive to the strength of my hands and waist and abdomen.

Liu Bowen tried it on the horse and affirmed the role of stirrups.

Man Gui is a master of horsemanship, Liu Bowen is top and smart, and he has been recognized by the two of them, Liu Mang is so beautiful that Zhang Luo is ready to let Qi Wuhuaiwen immediately organize people, make stirrups in large quantities, and equip the whole army.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bowen suddenly wrinkled his brows and stopped Liu Mang.

"No! Never, young master! Without explaining to Liu Mang, Liu Bowen immediately untied the stirrup.

"Young master, although this thing is good, it is not available for the time being!"

Liu Mang was puzzled, and his excitement was gone.

Liu Bowen explained that stirrups are indeed a good thing, and equipped with cavalry, it should be able to greatly improve combat power.

However, the number of cavalry in the upper valley was too small, and the main force was still infantry. Even with stirrups equipped, the team's combat power gain is still extremely limited.

The stirrup is a clever idea, but the structure is too simple, and if equipped, it can be easily used by other teams.

For example, the current mortal enemy Gongsun Zan is mainly cavalry, and if the White Horse Yicong of Youbeiping is equipped with stirrups, the increase in combat power will far exceed that of the Shanggu Army.

"Oh? Right! ”

Liu Mang suddenly realized!

Liu Bowen's opinion is that this thing should be secretly developed and improved, and after it is perfected, it will be temporarily sealed. When our army has a sufficient number of cavalry, it will be unified and assembled, and at that time, the combat strength of the whole army will be greatly improved, and it will gallop across the killing field.

Liu Mang praised.

Man Gui and Qi Wuhuaiwen were instructed to secretly improve and develop them, and keep them as military secrets.

Although the first "invention" could not be put into use immediately, Liu Mang was still very happy.

……

There is more than one happy thing, the "military secret" must be kept, but the summoning can be carried out normally.

At present, one special talent has been summoned for those who have not yet been recruited. Qing Dynasty, good at business.

One additional Normal Summon and One Intelligence-Only Summon Remaining.

The high pet is enough to compete with the world's first-class generals.

The appearance of Gao Pet made Liu Mang even more determined to use ordinary opportunities to summon another martial talent.

Talent Calling Success!

Type: Force

Name: Unknown

Gender: Male

Era: Northern Song Dynasty

Specialty: Brave, fearless

Thank you for using ......

Song dynasty! Could it really be Yue Fei?

However, Liu Mang's excitement only lasted less than a second.

He soon realized that he was so excited that he was ignorant, Yue Fei was from the Southern Song Dynasty! Moreover, the words "brave" and "fearless" cannot describe Yue Fei.

Don't guess.

Liu Mang's heart has long been cocooned by the system.

There is also an exclusive Intelligence-only summoning opportunity, and there is still a slot left in the summoning queue. However, Liu Mang did not use this opportunity.

The appearance of Qi Wuhuaiwen made him realize the importance of special talents, and he was eager to try it and convert exclusive summons into special summons.

When the special summon "Traffic Jam" is over, try to switch it.

……

Although the "military secret" of stirrups and the summoning of talents are both very important, they are trivial matters compared to the issue of transferring them to the merged states.

The move to the annexed states is a strategic issue that must be approached with caution.

Liu Mang, Liu Bowen and others have secretly discussed many times.

Today, Wu Yong sent someone to deliver a secret letter.

The state capital, on its part, has already reacted to Zhuolu's large-scale conscription.

According to a source in the state capital, Liu Yu, the state pastor, was extremely dissatisfied with the matter, but he had not yet made a statement.

The reaction of the state capital was exactly what was expected.

Liu Mang immediately summoned the relevant personnel to discuss secretly. In order to better implement the established strategy of strategic transfer, this time, in addition to Liu Bowen's eldest grandson Wuji and Fan Zhongyan, Su Dingfang and Fu Youde also attended the meeting.

Cheng Yanjin's loyalty was no problem, and he didn't ask him to participate, mainly because he was worried that his mouth wouldn't be able to hold the door. Moreover, on such strategic issues, Lao Cheng will not express constructive opinions.

After a brief briefing on the current situation, it was decided to accelerate the strategic transfer plan in accordance with the established policy.

The eldest Sun Wuji returned to Jixian County, cooperated with Wu Yong, and through the relationship of the state capital, gave Liu Yu, the governor of the state, to transfer Liu Mang from the rich Shanggu County to the poor Dai County. At the same time, the state capital collected information about the various princes on both sides of the Yellow River.

Ling Fu Youde, with a small team of soldiers and horses, escorted the merchants, explored the name of the new trade route, entered Dai County, explored the area of Macheng, Sanggan and Dai County, and explored the way to enter Dai County in the future.

At the same time, Fan Zhongyan was ordered to continue to expand his propaganda in Zhuolu, creating an atmosphere in which Liu Junwei would vigorously develop Zhuolu, so as to increase bargaining chips with Liu Yu in the future.

A new journey is about to begin......
