Chapter 10: The Lion's Mane (1)
The Dong family is the strong man of Lintao, although it is not as strong as those family lords, but it also has more than 1,000 private soldiers and domestic slaves.
Most of these private soldiers have lived in the Dong family for several generations, and they are even more loyal to the Dong family.
The private soldiers of the entire Lao Dong family are generally divided into two parts. Some of them were dispatched by Dong Zhuo, and many of them were people whom Dong Zhuo had met when he was in the northwest, and no one could control them except Dong Zhuo.
The other part is composed of Dongfu's private soldiers and Bai Haoqiang. Among them, the Qiang people were the dowry brought from the tribe by Mrs. Dong when she married Dong Zhuo. This part of the private soldiers is naturally controlled by Mrs. Dong, and Dong Zhuo is helpless.
Later, Mrs. Dong divided her private soldiers into three parts and gave them to the three sisters of Dong Yu.
Dong Zhao has a gentle temperament and doesn't like to fight and kill, so after marrying Niu Fu, she gave her private soldiers to Dong Yuan. This also caused Dong Yuan to become the most powerful person in the Dong Mansion except for Dong Zhuo and his wife.
Of course, this does not count the old lady.
In fact, even Dong Li, who is with the old lady every day, can't figure out what power the old lady has in her hands. However, he could guess that the old lady's power would not be less than that of Mrs. Dong, or even stronger.
Dong Yuan has grown up since she was a child, relying on the love of Dong Zhuo and his wife and the old lady, and no one dared to stare at her.
Even after getting married, although Li Ru was the most powerful strategist under Dong Zhuo, he didn't dare to show his teeth and claws with her.
This naturally developed Dong Yuan's brutal personality.
As for Dong Li, although he is very ugly, Dong Yuan knows that this younger brother actually has a gentleness that is difficult for women to resist.
It's been ten years, and Dong Yuan has never seen Dong Yan grit his teeth because of something. Unexpectedly, when he was angry, Dong Yuan, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, actually felt a palpitation for no reason. This feeling only occurred when facing his father Dong Zhuo.
Subconsciously, Dong Yuan immediately called the general.
took out a piece of tiger head talisman made of black jade from his bosom, "Immediately gather people and horses, and sweep the altar of Lintao Taiping Road." The two leaders must not be let go, and if anyone dares to stop them, they will all be killed. Do you understand? ”
"Whoa!"
The family will leave immediately, and Dong Yuan looked at Dong Li again and found that he had changed into the stunned appearance he had earlier.
Why should I listen to him? Why should I be afraid of him?
Dong Yuan suddenly felt extremely annoyed, and immediately stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Dong Li's ear and scolded: "Dead ugly, you dare to bare your teeth with me." ”
Dong Yan screamed and stretched out his hand to block it.
To say, he didn't exert much strength. But he didn't think about it, he could dance a hundred and fifty pounds of sledgehammer and pull away the strength of the three-stone hard bow, even if it was a gentle push, how could Dong Yuan withstand it? What's more, Dong Yuan is also joking.
"Ah......h
Dong Yuan almost fell off the horse, but fortunately, Dong Yu's eyes were quick and he helped Dong Yuan.
"Ugly, what are you crazy about?"
Dong Yan blushed, scratched his head and said, "I didn't mean it, I was just thinking about things just now, but I didn't expect it...... Ah, I remember. ”
In fact, since Dong Li had his first war horse, he felt as if something was missing. This feeling, every time he was riding a horse, he felt more and more profound, and Dong Yuan's pinch reminded him of it.
Stirrup......
The legendary stirrups. Didn't those novels say that stirrups didn't appear in the Three Kingdoms period? By the way, there is also a horseshoe, which does not seem to have appeared. Dong Yan was not very impressed with the stirrup, and the appearance of the horseshoe was not very clear. After all, in previous lives, horseback riding was already a very rare thing, let alone in the mountains.
"Lu Yi, do we have a craftsman in our family?"
"Artisan?"
"Well, it's a blacksmith."
Dong Yuan had already gotten on the horse at this time, and when he heard Dong Li's question, he said, "Of course there is." Otherwise, how can we cast those armors? How do you think your sledgehammers were made? It's not like grandma ordered craftsmen to build it. ”
Dong Li nodded, "Fourth sister, after you choose the horses and go home, can you find two craftsmen?" ”
"What's so hard about this, what are you going to build?"
Dong Li's mood was very happy, "Well...... The mountain people have their own tricks. ”
"Mountain man, you big-headed ghost!"
However, Dong Yu stared at Dong Yan with a very strange gaze, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Dong Yan didn't notice Dong Yu's gaze, and sat on the horse and went out of the city with a smile. To be honest, among all the Three Kingdoms novels he has read, stirrups and horseshoes seem to be only minor changes. What crossbow arrows, what siege vehicles, every time I think of those things that the people who cross through the city know such things, Dong Li will feel extremely envious.
It's a pity that he doesn't understand what kind of crossbow arrows and how to fry steel.
But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, even small changes such as stirrups and horseshoes will make him happy.
It was a small step for him personally, but perhaps a giant step in history.
It's a pity that when he was in middle school, the teacher didn't say anything about how to dip the fire. After graduating from junior high school, I became a forest ranger, and I didn't even know which way the door of the university was open. Sometimes I really admire it when I think about it, people in high school and college are really awesome, not people who are engaged in science and engineering know how to dip in fire, if he also went to college back then, haha......
******
Since the Dong family is a strong man in Lintao, they naturally occupy a large piece of land.
Located at the junction of Lintao and Qiang people's residential areas, there is a vast pasture, which belongs to the property of the Dong family.
Originally, the old Dong family's ranch was not that big, but Bai Haoqiang migrated and gave their best land to Dong Zhuo before leaving. This also makes the Dong family's ranch span the two major lands of Lintao and Qiang people's residential areas, ranking first in the local pasture.
As soon as he entered the ranch, Dong Yan could see herds of horses roaming around the pasture.
Of course, there are herders on the side, and tall sheepdogs follow the horses.
Dong Li likes dogs, and when he was a forest ranger in his last life, he once had one, but he was later killed by poachers.
After coming to this era, Dong Li did not change his preferences.
It's just that the old lady doesn't like dogs, and she likes to be clean. So much so that he who lives with the old lady has no way to raise a dog. But even so, when he had the opportunity to come to the ranch, he would still tease the sheepdogs.
Speaking of which, Dong Li's ability to train dogs is well-known in the ranch.
"Fourth sister, did you ask anyone to do what I told you last time?" Dong Li reined in and asked.
Dong Yuan was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”
"I forgot!" Dong Yan slapped his forehead and said distressedly: "Didn't I tell you, our ranch is too big, it's better to get some fences and fences, and set up some watchtowers." It is located in a mixed area of Qiang and Han, and the relationship is already very complicated. My father's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and it is inevitable that there will be some petty peeps at us, and we can be considered prepared. ”
"I, I forgot!"
Dong Yuzong immediately stepped forward and said, "Ah Chou, are you going to build a city here?" ”
Dong Yan shook his head and replied, "Of course not...... If you build a city, it will be troublesome, and it will cause misunderstanding among the Qiang people, and there will be many things. What I mean is to set up a village here, firstly, to be able to face the corner of Lintao, and secondly, to protect our family's industry. ”
