Chapter 129: Stirrups

PS: Oh, just now Xiaochuan watched the 15th episode of "Painting the Bad People of the Rivers and Lakes", and after watching it, I finally understood why I could watch it after I was 18 years old.

Du Chen saw that everyone was either thoughtful or full of doubts, Du Chen began to be triumphant, and Du Chen said: "Stirrups, as the name suggests, it is a pair of pedals hung on both sides of the saddle, for horse riders to use to step on the horses when they get on the horse and when riding. It is not only used for soldiers to get on horses, but also to support the rider's feet when riding, so as to maximize the advantages of riding horses, and at the same time effectively protect the safety of riders. ”

After Du Chen finished explaining, everyone suddenly realized. Especially several military generals, their eyes are shining. As a military general, everyone naturally knows the role of stirrups. It is indeed very disadvantageous to fight immediately, not only can you not give full play to your strength, but you also have to distract yourself and clamp the horse's belly so that you will not fall off the horse. But if the stirrups are really made, what I was worried about before will not be a problem, and with the support points of my legs, I can go all out against the enemy.

Seeing that everyone already understood, Du Chenyou found the four treasures of the study, and then drew a sketch with his own impression. However, Du Chen's painting skills are indeed a little unsatisfactory, but in general, people can still see what Du Chen is painting.

Looking at the "masterpiece" that Du Chen handed to him, Cao Cao's heart was very difficult to calm down. The thing in front of me seems very simple, but its effect is absolutely immeasurable. With stirrups, soldiers were free to gallop on horseback, their hands free, and with the power of horses, soldiers could make all kinds of movements on horseback.

Cao Cao smiled: "Hahahaha, Silang, like King Wen is too duke." Gaozu has to stay here! Cao Cao hurriedly got up, and then said to Du Chen with the sketch given by Du Chen in his hand: "The stirrup is a sacred object, and Cao Cao can't wait to see how powerful it is." Silang, let's go to the workshop together, I can't wait. Saying that, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and grabbed Du Chen, but Du Chen was caught by Cao Cao without paying attention.

Du Chen's thin figure. How can he resist Cao Cao's power, so under Cao Cao's strong pull, Du Chen was dragged out of the door by Cao Cao very much.

Seeing this scene, Guo Jiaxunyu and others smiled. After laughing, everyone didn't dare to take it, and they all went towards the workshop one after another.

Du Chen's thing is really charming, especially for military generals, it is very attractive. Therefore, the generals present were even more anxious, and walked out of the Taiwei Mansion one after another.

Looks like it's overcrowded just now. Now that the Taiwei Mansion is full of people, Jia Xu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. At the same time, there was also a trace of curiosity and shock between his eyebrows, and he wanted to know very much why Du Chen had such a wonderful idea.

When a group of important officials of the court came to the workshop, they startled the overseers. Although Xuchang is the current national capital, who has ever seen so many important ministers appear in the workshop. Especially the two people at the front, the person who was arrested here knew at a glance that he was the captain of the dynasty. And the person who grabbed the captain was the prime minister of the dynasty. All of a sudden, the entire workshop was in a state of great panic.

Cao Cao dragged Du Chen to find the overseer of the workshop. Then he handed the sketch in his hand to the overseer and said: "Quickly build this thing, this prime minister will see the real thing today, otherwise, this prime minister will cut you." ”

Cao Cao's words were vicious, which made the overseer's legs instantly weak, but fortunately he held on. I didn't sit on the ground. Stretching out his still trembling hand, the overseer took the sketch in Cao Cao's hand with great difficulty, and then began to look at what the sketch was, which would make the prime minister flow out of his demeanor.

However, after watching it for a long time, a big cold sweat couldn't help but flow down the overseer's head. Because it's a sketch. And I've never seen it myself, which makes me how to build. And I don't know much about what is painted on it, and I don't even have a size, so it's up to me how to build it. Whether it's bigger or smaller. And I don't know if it's going to work.

Seeing that the overseer pestle was still there, Cao Cao's face suddenly fell into a haze. Then, Cao Cao said in a cold voice: "What are you doing there, don't hurry up and build this thing, if there is any deviation from the drawing, be careful of your head." ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, the overseer suddenly wanted to cry without tears, and at this time he had the heart to drill into the fire pit, because this situation was too difficult. Cao Cao put a lot of pressure on him, and once the prime minister would never tell a lie, he wanted to kill himself, it was definitely easier than pinching the ants to death. But this thing in front of him is really a headache for him, and he really doesn't know how to start.

Du Chen stood aside and looked at it for a while, and saw that there was a trace of confusion and horror hidden on the overseer's face, and instantly understood why the overseer was like this. Then, Du Chen said, "Don't you understand this sketch?" ”

At this point, the overseer was so moved that tears almost burst out, and the overseer looked at Du Chen with tears in his eyes, and then nodded fiercely. At this time, he seemed to regard Du Chen as a god, and when he was most scared and helpless, Du Chen was like a beacon, illuminating the road he was moving forward very brightly. At the same time, the more he resented the person who drew the drawing, if it weren't for this broken sketch, he wouldn't have become like this.

Du Chen looked at the overseer who was almost crying, and showed a kind smile. Then, Du Chen said: "But you have to remember that the thing in your hand is absolutely confidential, if you spread the forging method of this thing, then your family will not be able to keep it." ”

Although Du Chen's tone was calm, the overseer felt the biting winter he had stepped into, and he couldn't help but shiver fiercely. And this huge change almost made the overseer cry. Although Du Chen looks very kind, he is not ambiguous at all when he speaks, and he is going to kill his whole family when he comes up.

The overseer nodded vigorously, and then listened to Du Chen say: "You don't need to worry too much about anything, as long as you work hard and don't betray the prime minister's heart, then the dust will protect you for glory and wealth." ”

The overseer of this matter was already numb, after all, he had just experienced too many ups and downs, and this matter was not attractive to him at all. Compared with glory and wealth, the lives of oneself and the family are the most important. And at this moment, he also learned his fate, I am afraid that he will be tied to the Cao clan's chariot for the rest of his life. But this is not necessarily a bad thing, the Cao family is in power, Cao Cao's words are more weighty than the saint, as long as the Cao family does not fall, then his life can be held with a fist.

Thinking of this, the overseer finally regained his confidence, and then leaned down and knelt down in front of Cao Cao and said, "Ma Jun pays a visit to the lord." ”

"Get up and speak." Cao Cao nodded. Then after the overseer Ma Jun got up, Du Chen began to introduce the stirrup and horseshoe to Ma Jun in detail.

Since Ma Jun was the overseer of the workshop, he was naturally very new in making iron, so he soon learned the essence of horseshoe and stirrup in Ma Jun's explanation, and then he personally created four pairs of horseshoe and a pair of stirrups.

When several things were handed over to Cao Cao's hands, Cao Cao's hands couldn't help but tremble. With these few things in front of you, then you will definitely be fighting for the world again. The appearance of stirrups and horseshoes would definitely disrupt the balance of war, and their appearance made the role of cavalry on the battlefield even more important. And most importantly, the world is so big that no one else will forge this thing except for myself, so that I can take advantage of being invincible.

Cao Cao turned over a few things and looked at them for a long time, and Du Chen, who was on the side, finally spoke: "Meng De, don't look at it anymore, let's try the power of this thing." And this thing has just been made, and it's still a problem that it can be used when it comes, so I'll do my best to debug it. ”

Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this, and he was so happy just now that he completely put this matter in the back of his mind. Cao Cao then hurriedly ordered a good horse to be brought in, and then began to equip the horse with a horsehoe and stirrups.

It was very easy to put on the horseshoe, but it was a little difficult to put on the stirrup. Because Du Chen ignored a very important thing, that is, there was no place to tie the saddle on the saddle. But also, people had never thought of it before, so how could they reserve a place for stirrups in the saddle.

So for this reason, Cao Cao took everyone to transform the saddle. After a few twists and turns, the saddle was finally fine. (To be continued......)
