Now it is the situation of April, as the so-called "there are few idlers in the countryside in April, only to have silkworms and planting fields", the whole of China is busy with spring plowing and summer planting, from the northernmost Yan, Zhao to the southernmost Chu State, everywhere is a busy scene. Countries have also ushered in a rare truce.

South Korea is located in the north, and there are few paddy fields, so there is no bustle of rice planting. At this time, everything recovered, and there were wheat seedling fields everywhere outside Xinzheng City, and they were green and vigorous. The new green full of vitality seems to be able to penetrate into people's hearts and instantly warm the whole body. Industrious farmers have long been working in the fields, pulling weeds and delicately caring for their own children. Land is the least deceiving, and it will give you as much reward as you put in for your hard work.

The city is also becoming more and more lively, and almost every household in Xinzheng has a tradition of raising silkworms. In the first days of April, even the naughtiest children obediently pick the freshest mulberry leaves to feed the silkworm babies. For hard-working adults, the plan of the year lies in the spring, and they must be busy with spring ploughing. For children, how much pocket money they have this year, and whether they have new clothes to change, depends on these silkworm babies.

It was nearly noon when a horse-drawn carriage came slowly from the west. Looking at the city gate that was getting closer and closer, the emperor who was driving slowed down and was ready to queue up to pay the city gate tax to enter the city.

"Master, Xinzheng City has arrived." The young man on the right side of the car said respectfully to the car.

"Oh, really?" A middle-aged man lifted the curtain, looked at the bustling crowd, and said with a smile: "Master Wei accidentally fell asleep." It's finally time for Xinzheng! ”

After all, the young man was young, and while looking around curiously, he said excitedly: "Master, the prosperity of Xinzheng is almost not inferior to that of Linzi!" ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and explained: "Xinzheng is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is prosperous. However, compared with Linzi, there are still shortcomings, if it is not for the five countries, Linzi is far better than Xinzheng. ”

"Really?" The young man had never seen Linzi before the chaos of the Five Kingdoms, and he couldn't help but yearn for it. But after a while, his tone changed, and he asked worriedly, "Why does the master have to go to Qi Lai Han?" Now that Qi has not been restored for a long time, it is the time to employ people, isn't there a better development there? ”

The middle-aged man looked at the first student under his door, and sighed in his heart that now the king of Qi is mediocre, and he favors nine villains, and even Prime Minister Tian Dan is greatly constrained. Although he was appointed as a priest in the palace and had the position of a doctor, the king of Qi just regarded himself as an ornament and was not willing to accept his political proposition at all, so he resigned angrily.

Now the situation in the Central Plains has changed greatly, and Korea, which is the weakest country, has actually mixed up, first defeating Zhao and Wei, and then jointly defeating Qin, and the three kingdoms have recovered thousands of miles. Anyway, he was idle at home and had nothing to do, so he happened to travel around the world with his only disciple to clarify his political ideas, and maybe someone of insight would adopt them. And the first stop was set in South Korea.

These thoughts flashed between the lightning, but the middle-aged man said earnestly: "Although the Qi country is good, there is no way to be a teacher. As the old saying goes, it is better to travel a hundred miles than to read 10,000 books. Since Zhao came to Qi since he was a teacher, he has never traveled around the world except for one trip to Chu. Now taking advantage of the leisure, it is better to take you out to travel the world, increase some knowledge and then make plans. ”

The young man was thoughtful and comforted: "Master, maybe Korea has your way!" Let's hurry into town! ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, but did not respond. Just looked at the bustling crowd, and silently replied in his heart: "The road is hard to find!" I'm afraid it's not that easy. But even if you reach your old age (80 or 90 years old), you have not found your own way, and you will not give up the pursuit of the way. ”

The middle-aged man didn't know that if it weren't for the small wind set off by the butterfly of Prince Ran who stirred up the general trend of the world, it was not until twenty years later that he had the opportunity to start practicing his political ideas. But from the moment he set foot on the land of Xinzheng, his fate was completely rewritten.

The prince didn't know that another capable minister in his life had appeared, and at the moment he was waiting anxiously in a workshop in the northern suburbs of Xinzheng.

After experiencing a few battles, the prince knew why cavalry was so difficult to cultivate. The food needed to raise one cavalryman was enough to feed five foot soldiers, and the biggest cost was horses. In the summer, the horses can eat some fresh grass on their own, and the groom only needs to be fed a few catties of grains. But when it comes to the green and yellow, you need to feed it with all your might. In non-war times, a war horse has to eat ten catties of hay every day, plus more than five catties of miscellaneous grains. If you really have to travel long distances, thousands of miles away, the cost is incalculable.

Moreover, there were no stirrups and saddles at this time. When the cavalry charged, they could only ride naked on horseback or just pad a few rags and furs, and use their legs to clamp the horse's belly to maintain balance. Poor riders even had to hold on tightly to their horse's sideburns or reins, otherwise they would likely fall off their horses. One can imagine how difficult it is to train a cavalry army capable of fighting well under such conditions.

Feeling this, the prince drew the shape of the stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes in his mind, handed them to the craftsmen, and asked them to type them according to the drawings as they were on the map. Of the three things, the horseshoe is the fastest to make, after all, it is the easiest. The saddle was only wrapped in leather and framed in wood, which was quickly completed by the call in of a most skilled carpenter. Right now, the prince is waiting for the craftsman to make the stirrups.

Standing next to the crown prince were the newly recruited generals Meng Fu and Li Mu. Among the two, Meng Fu has a good family background, has experience in horseback riding, and has good riding skills. Although Li Mu has only been in contact with horses for a few days, he is also good at riding horses because of his talent. Early this morning, the two of them were pulled out of the barracks by the crown prince.

After returning to Xinzheng, the crown prince was busy assisting the king of Han in appointing officials who had newly recovered the lost land. After finishing this matter, the prince found that the domestic army was of different ages and its combat effectiveness was worrisome, so he asked Han Wang to set up a new army, called the Yulin Army, which means "for the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest". It is a cavalry battalion, with a number of 3,000, and the virtuous and virtuous children are selected as soldiers, the main will be Meng Fu, and the deputy will be Li Mu.

Meng Fu and Li Mu wanted to shirk at first on the grounds that they had only been in the army for a short time, suddenly occupied a high position, and were afraid that people would not accept them. However, the prince "insisted on going his own way", and refuted it with "ambition is no longer old, and there is no need to avoid relatives if you are virtuous", saying that Meng Fu and Li Mu are both his confidants. There is no one in the world who is born to know, and the prince is convinced that they will become the famous generals of Megatron. Now he is giving the two of them a chance to prove that he is not looking at the wrong person. The reason for recruiting recruits is also based on such considerations, the prince asked the two of them to work hard, and if they have any questions, they can always ask the tyrant kite.

The two of them were very grateful, and they had the urge to die as a confidant. But when the blood passed, and when the three thousand recruits were really trained, it was quite painful. Without him, cavalry training was too difficult. Every day several unlucky ghosts fall off their horses because they are unfamiliar. Just when Meng Fu and Li Mu were thinking hard about a good plan, the prince secretly pulled the two of them to the craftsman's workshop.

After a little more waiting, the stirrups were finally built. Meng Fu and Li Mu snatched the stirrup, cooled the stirrup with cold water, and then put it on the horse's body. From the moment they saw the drawings of the saddle and stirrups, the two intuitively saw the great benefits inside, which was tantamount to a great revolution for the cavalry, but they had to try it themselves.

The two couldn't wait to take out the war horses and go to run two laps outside the workshop. As expected, the great practicality of stirrups and saddles conquered Meng Fu and Li Mu at once. With the addition of horseshoes, the two of them are now convinced that with these three things, they can quickly train the Yulin Army into an elite cavalry.

"The prince is talented, and the ministers are obedient." The two jumped off their horses and shook deeply. In the test ride just now, even Li Mu, a beginner, can sit on some dangerous actions that he usually does not dare to do, not to mention Meng Fu, a master of horse control. For Meng Fu, with a saddle and stirrups, it was like walking on the ground on the horse.

"O you! Don't praise me! Hehe, with these three things, you can't train a strong army, and I will not spare it. The prince joked.

"Whoa!" Meng Fu and Li Mu glanced at each other and said solemnly.

"Director Zhang." The prince turned his head to look at the official in charge of the workshop.

"Wechen is here!"

"In the future, your workshop will specialize in making stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes! All craftsmen are treated twice, but remember to keep it secret, and it is best to move the families of the craftsmen and set aside a special living area to avoid leakage of information. Hurry up and do it, the sooner the better, understand? The prince admonished.

"Whoa!" The head of the workshop immediately retired.

"And the two of you, train outside the city with peace of mind. Although stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes are all small objects that can be learned as soon as they are learned, they can be exposed a little later. I'll be in the barracks in a few days, so don't let me down. ”

Hearing the prince's words, Meng Fu and Li Mu did not dare to slack off, but only said yes. But he was ruthless in his heart, and he would definitely train the big soldiers under his hands when he went back.

(Thanks to the lark's Qingming, Tianque Qingfeng, and 1 game life's reward, South Korea's next development will definitely be difficult, internal and external troubles, and there is no way to unify the world for decades.) Kneeling and begging for clicks, favorites, and subscriptions, it's already Thursday, and the results of the strong push are a bit miserable. ）
