"Every horse has its own personality and it's your job to figure it out. "Zhang Liuyi's teachings still ring in my ears, from riding to riding, to performing daily tasks to take care of horses, and spending time with him outside of horse training will make your time in the saddle more productive. Bring the pride of a knight to the battlefield and play with your horse, this is the best horse training mode. Or put the pride of a knight into the joyous horse and show him how to use it. By spending relaxing time together, you can make him more comfortable and build mutual trust by showing him that your relationship is not just coming from taming. Most horse training is a mental exercise. "Learning to train a horse takes years of experience and learning. It's important to understand that every horse learns differently, so approach with an open mind. Zhang Liuyi explained that it is precisely because of Zhang Liuyi's concept of horse training that is different from others. At the same time, it also created Zhang Bingzhong's different attitude and method of dealing with the world from others, and the different directions he paid in order to effectively train a horse.

"You have to be able to solve problems and take the time to figure out what works for your horse, because you train one horse may not be the way and pattern you train another, and the same should be true for people and things. Zhang Liuyi taught Bingzhong, horse taming and the way to deal with the world.

When you have a horse, it is necessary to train its body and make it soft. We can start with a slow walk within the grounds in order to calm and relax the horse. The small hoop and inward bend will make it compliant, and when the horse's body starts to soften and lower its nose, you need to pat it on the neck immediately. It is important to do this, and at the moment when the horse shows obedience, you should reward it with your voice or by straightening its body and riding in large circles. But when it resists or the body becomes stiff, you need to return to the circle and let it soften and relax again. Shift, Shift, Shift! Once you're able to slow forward well and relax the neck and mouth, it's time to take your training to the next level, which is migration. The horse's warm-up was sufficient, so the next task was to see how rounded its body could be. During the transition, the rider needs to keep the horse moving around his inner leg to keep his body soft, and the horse will occasionally be lazy, and if it becomes lazy or sluggish, you can kick it with your legs. If the horse's body begins to soften in both fast and slow steps, it can be rewarded with a loosening of the reins. When entering a brisk step, if the horse's body becomes stiff or resists a little, the following exercises should be tried: After a few brisk steps, use a slow step to make the horse's body soft and restrained again. And keep the horse's body soft, and after a few slow steps, ask it to move again to a fast step. If the horse's body becomes stiff again during the brisk walk, these exercises can be repeated until the horse's body remains supple during the transition and during the brisk walk. In the process of moving from slow to fast, the horse's movements may become sluggish, so you need to pay attention to adjustment, or ensure its forward state through some auxiliary movements, because the greater the loss of forward momentum, the worse the performance will be. If the horse resists or even protests with the movements, it can slow down the pace and use the slow step to make its body soften again, because it is difficult for the horse to hunch over and jump when the horse's body is bent inward.

If the horse's hind legs start to really step deep, you can pay attention to the distance between its hind hooves and the front hoof prints, there will be some differences in the pace of horses at different heights, but in general, if the hind hooves can step two or three feet in front of the front hoof prints, this indicates that its hindquarters are sufficient. Whenever this is the time, we can relax the reins as a reward as we go from small circles to large circles, allowing it to relax and stretch its body. In addition, after stretching, we can do large laps in the field. If it behaves hard when using one of the reins, and there are some situations where it is easily frightened, you can use the inner reins to bend its body to alleviate the situation, but be careful not to jerk the reins and help calmly, otherwise it will ignore your commands. To do this, you need to use your inside leg while gently adjusting the contact with the mouth with your fingers, and then use your legs to keep the horse's neck straight. For horses, this will also allow them to keep their body soft when walking on the long side. When the horse's state can be maintained for a period of time, it can be pushed forward to transform into a fast step, and the horse's state is well adjusted, then it will behave relaxed, rhythmic and balanced in the fast step. Remember to reward it when it does a good job. Once the horse has obediently completed this change in pace, it can move further to running, and the horse, which is already familiar with and obedient to the auxiliary commands, will respond with a soft and bent body when it starts running. Again, it is necessary to remind you that when it indicates its obedience, remember to pat it on the neck and slow down to turn it to a brisk step as a reward, keep moving forward, and then go into running again. When changing steps, be careful to keep the horse's gait active at all times and not let it slow down. During the transition from brisk to running, the horse's pace change will inevitably lead to the wrong lead because it is unfamiliar, so don't rush to correct its movements, and don't stop practicing just because it didn't use the correct lead step. First of all, we need to maintain the forward momentum of the running during its transition from fast walking to running, so that it can maintain the pace and rhythm of running. Next, let it continue the practice and let it go around in smaller circles, without punishing the horse or stopping suddenly, if the horse feels uncomfortable with his pace, it can correct the mistake on its own. In the whole set of running training, try to make as many transitions between brisk walking and running as possible, this conversion can improve the understanding of the movements between the horse and the person, and deepen the horse's memory of the auxiliary movements, and remember to keep yourself and the horse active during the brisk walking and running. In this type of training, the inner reins can be used more often to allow the horse to find a better way to balance his body during the migration, without hindering his forequarters. In running. If the horse uses the wrong lead step, you can maintain the pace and rhythm of the run, and after several quick transitions to runs, the horse will correct the mistake and use the correct lead step when the horse finds its balance.

The relaxation session is one of the most important parts of the day, and when the exercise is over, we can stretch the reins and stretch the horse's back and neck with slow, brisk and running steps. At this time, it is important to keep the horse's inside bent and allow its body to be properly extended on both sides, even when letting the horse relax. Soft training will improve the horse's physical condition and help him to keep stretching and moving forward at all times, so that the horse does not think about anything else and focuses on his balance and rhythm. When a horse has not been systematically trained for a long time, this kind of stretching and soft training is more needed to relieve its stiff muscles, restore the elasticity of the tendons, and make the body energetic.

In the village, Zhang Bingzhong is pulling horses and taming birds when he is free on weekdays, and if there is any emergency, he will directly discuss with Du Heng, the owner of the village, and never make a tone in the meeting hall; Gradually, Xiao Liuzi discovered a special situation, perhaps there were more and more disasters, and they were getting bigger and bigger. The number of displaced people in the big village has gradually increased, and there were only about 100 people when Xiao Liuzi left, but now the population is roughly three or four hundred, and it is possible to see that this momentum will continue for a long time. Looking at the change in this situation, Xiao Liuzi said to Dazhai: When I first entered the village, I learned about the customs along the way very carefully, this year is a year of great disaster, not only locust plague, but also drought is also very serious. In the future, there will definitely be more and more homeless people, and there is no problem at all with tens of millions of people hoarding in our village, but there must be a lot of things when there are more people. As far as food is concerned, it will be very difficult, so from now on it is necessary to arrange for people to be divided into groups according to the method of managing the peasant households in the village, and we can raise the old and weak women and children, and the young and strong must come out to participate in the activities of labor and defense of the village...... Xiao Liuzi told the master of Dazhai about the scenes he had seen recently and the things he was worried about. I only heard Du Heng smile and said: When you left, you once instructed me to open up the wasteland and plant fertile land, we have opened up a large piece of land in this valley, I will take you to see it tomorrow. The so-called Eight King Kongs in our village are actually the masters of farming in the village, and it is not good to fight, it depends on you, but the farming work is a good hand, except for the flower tongue and the poisonous wolf. In addition, the grouping detachment you mentioned, we will do what you say from the beginning. Those who can sentry can sentry, those who can collect firewood can collect firewood, those who can work work, those who can strike iron strike iron, and so on. After seeing the land that has been opened, I will show you their workshop.

In the early morning of the next day, Du Heng, the owner of the big village, called Zhang Bingzhong early in the morning to go to the valley to check the village affairs. The group came to the depths of the valley, there were cliffs and steep walls on both sides, and there happened to be a flat land in the shape of a big gourd, which had been opened up by Du Heng and them for nearly dozens of acres of land. Along the beneath the cliff, rows of various workshops were built. Now only carpenters and ironsmiths are open. Seeing this, Bingzhong thought that this is really a blessed little cave! With a "snap", he slapped himself, Xu was too heavy and woke himself up. When I saw the mosquito in my hand, I suddenly thought of the recent locust plague. Yo! I forgot about it. Du Heng hurriedly asked, What's the matter? Xiao Liuzi hurriedly said: Locusts. Locusts, Du Heng asked. Xiao Liuzi hurriedly explained: When I was about to enter the cottage, I met a group of displaced people and asked them why they were fleeing? They said that there was a locust plague in the village, but at first I didn't care, and out of curiosity, I went to the village to see what the locust plague was. You don't know, you really don't know, you go scared. Everywhere the locusts passed, not a single leaf remained, and some even gnawed away the roots.

Du Heng replied, "That's not it, if our fertile land is discovered by them, it will become a disaster for no reason." I look at the field and there will be a good harvest this fall. If there is a plague of locusts, it will be a grain of nothing. Nadu nodded and said no more.

Xiao Liuzi is not amazing, and he swears endlessly. After telling these words, the little six sons were still the same, and they walked around in their spare time. In early summer, the weather is hotter than before, and there are more homeless people on the road. But those who really couldn't walk, and the victims who dragged their children and daughters were still taken in by the eighteen villages. However, the victims who were taken in have developed a bad habit. As soon as he entered the stockade, he threw aside the tubers that he had usually dug out of the ground, and over time they formed a small slope, and no one took care of them. Not long after, the houses were still budding, which surprised Xiao Liuzi. So, Xiao Liuzi found the victims who had discarded the tubers and asked them what it was, but no one knew. It's just that a few teenagers said to Liuzi that we don't know what this thing is, but we know that if we bite two bites, our stomachs will be full, and the taste is slightly sweet, just like some mountain spirits. But the gnawed place will flow out of the white pulp, if not cleaned, after a period of time will be black, look disgusting, so bite the skin of the tuber will only eat one or two bites when we are really hungry, if there is a lot of food will not eat it again. Oh! I see. Only then did Xiao Liuzi understand why someone would leave him aside. With such an answer, Xiao Liuzi became more and more curious, and when he got closer, he didn't know what it was.

Feng Ying screamed happily on his shoulder, and from time to time he was still standing on his brain. This naughty little guy is not at all restless. Xiao Liuzi pulled twice on his head, and the more he wanted to get rid of it, the more he knew that it would be more troublesome. Xiao Liuzi was a little annoyed, and when he turned around, he saw him sitting on the ground with a "poof", looking at this little guy in a daze. Looking at it, he had a flash of inspiration, patted his head and said: Look at the stupid guy!

It turned out that Xiao Liuzi looked at Feng Ying and remembered that Mr. He had a book of "The Museum of the Four Seas". There is this thing recorded in the book, and there is a more detailed record of this thing. This thing is called a sweet potato. Aliases are called goose, sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, jade pillow potato and so on. Sweet potato perennial herbaceous vine with milk. The tubers are white, red or yellow. The stems have adventitious roots and creep on the ground. The leaf width is ovate or ovate-hearted, and the leaf shape and color vary depending on the cultivar. Sweet potato originates from the hot land of the extreme South Pole, is a high-yield and adaptable food crop, in addition to being used as a staple food, it is also a good material for food and winemaking, and its roots, stems and leaves can be used as excellent food and feed. The skin is pale yellow, rich in belly and hunger, easy to peel off, the meat is white, and the taste is sweet and juicy. At the same time, sweet potatoes are also a drought-tolerant crop, but too much water and too little water are not conducive to increasing yield. Sweet potatoes are afraid of flooding, especially after tubing, which has a great impact on yield. Especially now, when there are too many people and locusts love to eat plants on the ground, if you plant sweet potatoes all over the place, you can not only ensure the supply of food, but also prevent locusts from biting, because its stems are in the ground. The only good thing is that if it is eaten by locusts, it will still be able to sprout, take root, and pick potatoes the next year. So Bingzhong called a few entourage soldiers, but did not explain the reason to them. They were ordered to move all the sweet potato blocks to the wooden house where they lived, and bury the small ones on the spot, and divide the large ones into pieces, and make nests and plant them on the hillside. On weekdays, he doesn't water and fertilize, but just splashes his daily bath water inadvertently and kills two birds with one stone down the hillside. Such casual cultivation would have turned into a rare treasure trove of grain a few years later.

In the past, Zhang Bingzhong was originally born to fight bandits, but now when he wants to become this mountain bandit in order to protect himself, there is a lot of helplessness in the world. For the sake of his own livelihood and the survival of the village, under the respect of everyone, he was half-relied on and half-done, and pulled up the banner of "Eight Kings".

There is a saying for the so-called eight kings. The explanation of "eight" is as follows: "Don't also, like the shape of the opposite of each other." It shows that when the "eight" first appeared, it was related to the direction. Now the so-called "eight characters" are also called "" (year pillar, month pillar, day pillar, time pillar), each column has two words, the upper is the heavenly stem (A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, 癸), and the lower is the earth branch (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai), exactly eight characters, so it is called "eight characters". The character "eight" is also derived from the Book of Changes, which is related to gossip. "" believes that gossip was born in Tai Chi, and Bagua hangs under Tai Chi, and uses it as a tool to publish rules. Gossip has been passed down for so long that people have forgotten its origins and even associated it with the concept of orientation. Therefore, the image of the eight trigrams is said to be the image of the eight directions: east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, north, and northeast, and these eight directions are called the "eight poles" and "eight dimensions". It derives many words with eight, such as eight pillars, eight desolations, eight sounds, eight arrays, eight spirits, and so on.

Therefore, the eight of these eight kings have a relationship with the great direction. Bingzhong's nickname was "Eight Kings", in fact, the full name was also called the Eight Kings of Xiying in the later Shangluo League. "West" refers to his hometown in the west, "battalion" refers to a unit of the rebel army, "eight" refers to the four directions of southeast, southwest, northwest, and southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, and the great king refers to him being the largest among all kings. Therefore, the "Eight Kings" also refers to the largest king among the kings of the eight directions, which is also the same as what people thought at that time, and it is also very reasonable.
