The status of merchants in the Han Dynasty was very low, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set the national policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business", merchants have become street rats, the ruling class shouted and killed, and the common people were also resentful of them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The deliberate vilification of the ruling class has led everyone to regard the businessmen as parasites, as unproductive and cunning. Before the Han Dynasty, large and small merchants were active, the commodity economy was developed, and Zigong, Fan Li, Lü Buwei and other famous merchants were also born. However, for more than 400 years in the Han Dynasty, no businessman appeared in the history books with a positive image, which led to a commercial depression and a withering of people's livelihood.

Zhen Yan can talk eloquently in front of Han Jun because the Zhen family is not a businessman, but a family of cultivators. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping did not have such confidence, and cautiously raised their heads to see that there was no displeasure on Han Jun's face, and Zhang Shiping said tremblingly: "I am very happy to hear that the son is coming to Zhongshan County, and I hereby present a thousand good horses for the deployment and use of the son!" ”

Han Jun squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them silently, thinking about the plans of the two in his heart, it is not difficult to guess Zhen Yan's intention, it is nothing more than to use this to make a name for himself. But Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping have nothing to do to be courteous, but why?

"I heard that when Liu Xuande raised the army in the past, the two of them had funded him a lot of good horses and gold and silver, I don't know what happened?"

As soon as Han Jun said this, the two of them hurriedly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy in their mouths!

Han Jun snorted coldly, without saying a word, the reaction of the two was also in his guess, this matter can be big or small, to put it mildly, Su and Zhang are collaborating with the enemy, after all, Xuande Gong is now begging for food under Gongsun Zhan; To put it mildly, in fact, it is not a big deal, after all, it was a few years ago, at that time, Liu Bei was just a cloth cloth, and the perpetrator was also a crusade against the yellow scarf, so the approach of Su and Zhang is not unforgivable.

Zhen Yan's face also became very ugly, and he glared at Zhang Shiping angrily and said: "Liu Xuande is now under Gongsun Zhan as the Pingyuan Order, and he is Gongsun Zhan's classmate and close friend, what do you want?" ”

Zhang Shiping was as earth-colored, and kowtowed again and again to explain: "We are also forced to be helpless, Liu Xuande is forced to force each other, if you don't obey, you are afraid that your life will be difficult to protect, and in desperation, you will be forced to give it away." ”

Han Jun snorted coldly: "Liu Xuande, a gentleman of the world, how can he act like a robber? ”

Su Shuang was almost about to cry, and replied with trembling hands: "Liu Xuande has a gentle attitude, but he knows the benefits, and says that he wants to please the thief and the people, but he has no way to take advantage of it." I couldn't wait to leave, but the ring-eyed thief and the red-faced man were so powerful, a few ups and downs put down our companions, swords and guns raised at the same time to look at us angrily, I can't wait! ”

Han Jun nodded slightly, it is still possible to say this, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are not good-tempered people, especially Guan Yu is still on the run, how can an outlaw thief let go of the food sent to the door?

Zhang Shiping had the courage to peek at Han Jun, and when he saw Han Jun's face improve, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I was originally going back and forth to the north to sell horses, and I heard that Gongzi went north to fight against thieves, and deliberately scattered all his wealth to buy more than 2,000 good horses. ”

Han Jun laughed and walked down the hall, stretched out his hand to pick up Su and Zhang, and comforted: "The two righteous men should not panic, and they will be loyal to the country, how can I blame you?" ”

It is this era that is prejudiced against businessmen, but it is not him Han Jun, you must know that Han Jun's identity in his previous life is essentially a businessman.

Within the enterprise, the dumping is serious, and Han Jun is able to stand out, not because of his talent, but because of continuous learning. Reading history makes people wise, in his previous life, Han Jun almost turned over the twenty-four histories, in order to absorb the wisdom of the ancients and use it in the modern struggle, which also made him not particularly panicked about traveling back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhen Yan, Su Shuang, and Zhang Shiping all left, Han Jun could no longer suppress the joy in his heart, paced back and forth in the hall with his hands clenched into fists, and suddenly looked back at Zhao Yun and asked, "Zilong, more than 2,000 good horses and you, can you train a hundred battles elite soldiers for me?" ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly replied: "What Yun wants, I don't dare to ask you!" ”

Han Jun stepped forward, slapped Zhao Yun on the shoulder, and sighed: "The army is not strong, the cavalry is rushing to the rear of the enemy, whether you can defeat Gongsun Chan or not depends on you and your cavalry!" ”

Zhao Yun's face tightened, and he hesitated: "The lord is very kind, Zhao Yun is grateful, but Zhao Yun is incompetent, I am afraid that he will not be able to train an invincible cavalry for the lord in a short time." ”

"Why?" Han Jun's face tightened, as if a basin of cold water was splashed on his face, which suddenly poured his good mood into a sudden.

Zhao Yun replied: "The selection of cavalry is very strict, unless it is strong and agile, it is not necessary to gallop on horseback, it is necessary to draw a bow and shoot arrows on a horse, and it is necessary to fight bravely and bravely, and it is necessary to be brave and courageous. More importantly, cavalry combat, the most important thing is to enforce orders and prohibitions, echo and cooperate, and these take time...... Although there are many good shooters in the land of Yan Zhao, few people can draw their bows on horses, and it is easy to slip off their horses when fighting. It is very unlikely that they will defeat the White Horse Righteous Followers. Moreover, I deliberately read it just now, most of the horses sent by Zhang and Su are Hun horses from the north, with short horses, poor explosive power, and slow speed, which can be used for logistics and supply, but I am afraid it is not suitable for battlefield operations. The most important thing is that the land of Jizhou is mountainous, and it is easy to hurt the horse's hooves during a long-distance attack, and it may be difficult to go around the rear of the enemy. ”

If Han Jun was just disappointed just now, he is a little desperate now, although he knew a long time ago that war is not a child's game, not a game, and he is fully mentally prepared, but now it seems that his so-called preparation is just more like a more advanced child's house.

Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Han Jun asked, "Is it really impossible to use cavalry in this battle?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, "If you can't solve the quality of the horses and the damage of the war horses, I think the lord is probably going to be disappointed......"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Han Jun's mind, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't seem to have thought of anything.

"You wait, wait......"

Han Jun closed his eyes slightly, trying to grasp the glimmer of aura just now, but he couldn't grasp it, and muttered to himself: "Since the Xiongnu horse is so unbearable, how can the siege of Baideng appear?" ”

Zhao Yun replied: "The Hun horse is naturally not useless, it is cold and heat-resistant, and it is not picky about food, and it can run for a long time. In addition, most of the Hun cavalry in the siege of Baideng rode mares, which could provide mare's milk diet, which reduced the logistical pressure on the Huns! ”

"Got it!"

Han Jun roared in a daze, and he was almost jumping up with excitement, but Zhao Yun reminded him that he remembered a lot of things.

Today's Xiongnu horse is the Mongolian horse of the future, the Mongolian horse that swept across the Eurasian continent!

After a short period of excitement, Han Jun quickly fell into frustration again, because he remembered that the reason why the Mongol cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent was invincible, firstly, because the Mongols' thirst for wealth prompted them to always maintain a strong desire to fight, secondly, because they borrowed and used new weapons in the Central Plains such as stone carts and rockets, which had a huge psychological deterrent effect on the enemy, and thirdly, the most important thing was their cavalry tactics, strong troop mobility, and long-distance outflanking and detour, and separate attacks as the main characteristics. Although it could not defeat the European heavy armored cavalry on the frontal battlefield, it took advantage of its high mobility to repeatedly attack day and night, and won many battles with few casualties, ensuring the ability of the troops to continue fighting.

The Mongolian cavalry could gallop thousands of miles, so why couldn't the Hun horses run day and night? Han Jun suddenly remembered this question, if the Mongolian cavalry was only invincible in the flat and vast steppe, then maybe there would be no problem. But the terrain of Central Asia is complex, and Han Jun remembers that the Mongols often waged wars in winter when the rivers froze, so how did their horses avoid casualties?

Thinking of this, Han Jun stood up abruptly and rushed out of the county office without saying a word.

Zhao Yun didn't know why, so he could only follow behind, watching Han Jun run to the war horse he said he was riding and squatting down.

"Lord, what are you?"

Han Jun observed carefully for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Zilong, hasn't this horse been nailed to the horseshoe?" ”

"Horseshoe? What's that? ”

Horseshoe, also known as horseshoe, is said to have been the earliest invention of the Romans and played a huge role in delaying the wear and tear of horseshoe. The appearance of the horseshoe not only protects the horse's hooves, but also enables the horse's hooves to grip the ground more firmly.

It seems that there has not been a horseshoe in the Central Plains, no wonder Zhao Yun was worried that the long-distance running war horse would not be able to withstand it, it turned out that he was worried that the skin would wear out, and the war horse would not be able to continue galloping!

Thinking of this, Han Jun's mood suddenly improved a lot, he got up and snapped his fingers happily, and instructed Zhao Yundao: "You go out immediately and gather all the blacksmiths in Lunu City for me, I have something important to do with them!" ”

Although Zhao Yun was confused, he hugged his fists and sang a promise and left.

Han Jun returned to the county office, took a pen and paper, tried to recall the appearance of the horseshoe, and drew it on paper. He had never learned to draw, so he drew four or five sheets in a row, and then he put down the pen satisfied.

With his hands behind his back, he returned to the courtyard contentedly, looked at the war horse in front of him, slapped the back of his head sharply, and hurriedly returned to the county office.

Just now Zhao Yun said that most of the Jizhou soldiers could not control the bow on the horse, for fear of slipping off the horse, that is because although there is a saddle stirrup, but it is only a single stirrup, and there is no Takahashi saddle, so if the knight wants to open the bow immediately, he must rely on the strength of his legs to clamp the war horse to maintain balance, which also leads to the difficulty of riding and shooting, not growing up on horseback or without a lot of training, it is impossible to do it while galloping on the horse, while bending the bow and arrows.

Zhao Yun was very efficient, and it didn't take much effort to return with a dozen blacksmiths.

Zhao Yun didn't know Han Jun's plans, so naturally he didn't explain it, the blacksmith didn't know the misfortune and the evil, and all of them were terrified, as soon as they saw Han Jun, they all fell to their knees.

Han Jun glanced at Zhao Yun inexplicably, and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong with them?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled awkwardly, "The lord didn't say the reason, someone refused to come, so ......"

Han Jun shook his head helplessly, although Zhao Yun didn't explain it, he already understood that the word soldier ruffian was not out of nowhere, in this era, in some cases, being a soldier is really not as elegant as a ruffian hooligan.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to ask you to help me build some objects!" Han Jun instructed his subordinates to lift up the blacksmith door, and then said sincerely: "In addition, we will not let everyone work in vain, each person will be paid fifty yuan for a full day!" ”

As soon as Han Jun said this, the panicked blacksmiths immediately let go of the heart hanging in the air, what they were most worried about was that Han Jun forced them to do something beyond their ability, and when they heard that they were still letting them do their old job, and it was not in vain, they all knelt down again at the moment, and said thank you.

Han Jun took out the sketch he had drawn and asked, "Among you, who has better experience and skills?" ”

The blacksmiths looked at a shirtless stocky man, the man who didn't look very old was not modest, and stood up and said loudly: "Hui Gongzi, the little Han Wu, the four generations of ancestors are all iron-making, dare to ask Gongzi what he commands?" What do you need to build? ”

Han Jun laughed and said, "Han Wu, right? We are still our own family, maybe we were the same family 500 years ago! ”

Han Wulian said that he didn't dare, but he was beautiful in his heart, and he decided that this state shepherd was a good person.

"This is it!"

Han Jun handed the scratch paper in his hand to Han Wudao: "Do you see what the difficulty is?" How long does it take to type? ”

Han Wu took the scratch paper, looked at it carefully for a long time, touched the back of his head and said, "Don't worry, Childe, I see that this object is very simple, and I can make it in the time of a cup of tea!" ”

Han Jun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since this is the case, then please leave it to you, whether our army can defeat Gongsun Chan depends on your skills!" ”

Turning his head and instructing Zhao Yundao: "You immediately bring someone to help get their tools and put them in the backyard, and then order them to go down and cook wine and stew meat, so that you can have the strength to work when you are full!" ”

Everyone else went to get busy, and Han Jun returned to the county office, thinking about the appearance of Takahashi's saddle in his mind, but he couldn't draw anything. In his previous life, he often went to the horse farm to play on holidays, and he was no stranger to Takahashi Saddle, but it was easier said than done, and after trying for a long time, Han Jun still sighed helplessly.

Throwing down the pen and paper, Han Jun paced to the backyard, after all, the horseshoe and stirrup were more important than the Takahashi saddle. As soon as he walked in, he heard Han Wuhu roaring, "It's done!" ”

"Lead the horse!"

Han Junxing rushed to take the horseshoe that had just been baked and was still a little hot, and there was a burst of excitement in his heart, with this, it will no longer be a dream for the cavalry to run thousands of miles, Gongsun Zhan, wait for the surprise I gave you and regret it!

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it took some time to build the first horseshoe, and that was because it was not skilled. After becoming proficient, Han Wu and a blacksmith will soon be able to mass produce them.

Zhao Yun brought Han Jun's mount over, and Han Jun called Han Wu to come and ordered, "Nail a shoe to each hoof of my horse!" ”

Before Han Wu could speak, Zhao Yun next to him was in a hurry, "The lord can't do it, the war horse is precious, don't easily harm his life!" ”

Zhao Yun naturally didn't know that there was a layer of skin on the horse's hooves, and nailing the horseshoe would not harm the horse's health.

Han Jun smiled and shook his head, "Zilong wait and see what happens, my Cloud Chasing Horse was bought from the Western Regions at a high price, how can I be willing to give it my life!" ”

Han Wu naturally didn't think as much as Zhao Yun thought, Han Jun had already given the order, so he naturally had to do it honestly.

Zhao Yun turned around with a painful face, he is a man who loves horses, so he naturally pities horses and cherishes horses, and he doesn't understand why Han Jun, who is very kind to the people of Cangtou, should be so cruel to his beloved horses?

"Zilong don't want to be sad, ride on the cloud-chasing horse to go around, and if you still don't understand my hard work after coming back, I will consider replacing the commander of this cavalry that is destined to be famous all over the world!"

Han Wu, who was quick with his hands and feet, quickly helped Chasing Yunju put on his "shoes", Han Jun handed the reins to Zhao Yun with a smile, and at the same time did not forget to instruct: "Don't be afraid that the road is difficult to walk, you can pick the steep mountain road and see if the Chasing Cloud Horse is intact?" ”

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, seemed to understand something, didn't bother to talk more, took the reins, turned over and got on the horse and left.

At tea time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Zhao Yun came back with a happy face. The person was still right away, and Zhao Yun was already speaking excitedly, "Lord, please forgive Zilong for being ignorant, with this good tool to help, the big break Gongsun Zan is just around the corner!" ”

Han Jun shook his head and smiled: "This is far from enough, Zilong, now you start arranging to nail all the war horses of our army to the horseshoe!" ”

The horseshoe can only ensure that the horse runs long distances without damage, and if you want to defeat the enemy, you also need the help of double-row stirrups.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were already stirrups, but they were only single-row stirrups for auxiliary horses, so only one more stirrup was needed.

returned to the county government because his subordinates reported that the two of them had arrived with the army, and Han Jun had no time and no need to go outside the city to greet him, so he directly arranged for someone to invite him to the county office.

Frustrated with a dusty face, he didn't care about greeting Han Jun, and as soon as they met, he told Han Jun a good news, "Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan, the two generals, have already followed Gongzi's order to sail north along the Fenshui River in the starry night, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach Guangchang County in two days!" ”

"How can it be so fast?" Han Jun was puzzled, the waterway march was naturally much slower than that on land, and Mengjin was farther away from Zhongshan County, how could the marching time be similar to Han Jun and the others?

Frustrated and replied: "The military situation is like fire, day and night!" ”

Han Jun nodded, and also understood, it is common sense to march on land, Xiaoxing sleeps overnight, and it is not impossible to march at night, but it will seriously consume the physical strength and energy of the soldiers, and it will be difficult to enter the battle even if they rush to the battlefield. But this is not the case with water marching, which is just rowing in shifts, although it will also affect the rest of the soldiers, but after all, it will only affect a small part.
