"King Shenwu! King Shenwu! ”

When Qingji rode the red-maned horse all the way back, all the Wu people present cheered and jumped.

Even the princes and nobles of Chu such as Meng Huan, Shen Zhuliang, and Zixi, or the rest of the soldiers, were all amazed by Qingji's superb force!

It is important to know that taming a wild horse does not depend on individual courage alone, and some skills will not work.

"In the future, you will be called the Fire Dragon Horse."

Qingji patted the red-maned horse's neck, and the latter snorted in response, apparently satisfied that Qingji had given him a name.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, when cavalry combat was not yet popular, the role of a sweaty horse seemed to be minimal.

But, as a traverser, how can he not know the strength of the cavalry?

Not to mention the barbarian Fanbang, which was still in a nomadic state, the Chinese countries were all chariot warfare, and the cavalry had not even appeared, or only played the role of reconnaissance.

At this time, the armies of the nations had a small number of cavalry, mixed with chariot infantry, and were only an insignificant auxiliary force.

In the Warring States Period, with the expansion of the scale of warfare, the diversification of tactics and the needs of war with the nomads in the north, cavalry officially entered the war stage as an independent army!

Meng Huan stepped forward with a smile and said, "I have long heard that King Wu's bravery is the best in the world. When I see it today, it should be worthy of the name! ”

"With such a feat of taming horses, who in the world can compare with King Wu?"

"The country is too famous."

Qing Ji smiled slightly and said: "This carving insect skill is also not enough to worry about." ”

"King Wu, please take a seat."

"Please!"

Qingji and Meng Huan returned to the square stage and sat down separately.

At this time, under Meng Huan's greeting, a team of white-faced and beardless chamberlains bowed their bodies, and served one delicious meal after another with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and placed them on the desks of various ministers and doctors.

As for Qingji, Xiong Zhen, and Meng Huan, for the sake of insurance, their meals were all taken by the trustworthy Gong E, and then tasted with chopsticks, and after confirming that they were non-toxic, they were served.

No way, as people who are involved in the rise and fall of a country's glory and disgrace, their personal safety is of paramount importance.

Since the assassination of the princes, the princes of the world have also paid more attention to protective measures, so as not to be accidentally assassinated by the assassins.

Qingji picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of mutton from the food ding, and put it in his mouth to chew it carefully.

Before I could reminisce, I saw Meng Huan clapping her hands again, and the two graceful women endured their shyness and sat beside Qingji on the left and right.

"Kokuta, what is this?"

Qingji was quite puzzled.

Meng Huan smiled lightly and said: "Eating is the sex of a husband." King Wu is the hero of the world, and the mourning family is very admired, and now he is a distinguished guest of my Chu country, how can he be slow? ”

Meng Huan's reason is simply impeccable.

She forced Qingji to give two beautiful women with good looks, but Qingji didn't accept it, and it seemed unreasonable.

Test me?

Qingji's heart moved.

Immediately, Qingji waved towards Meng Huan and said, "Thank you for your kindness." Food, sex too! The big husband is not exempt from vulgarity. ”

"Today, the country is too beautiful to give the widow a drink, and the widow is grateful."

"However, the widow thinks that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all!"

"If the second and third sons all have beautiful concubines to accompany them to serve in wine, then the widow should follow them. If you are not beautiful, why not? ”

Hearing this, Meng Huan's heart was surprised.

She didn't expect that such a womanizer as Qingji would be able to say such high-sounding words!

It's better to be alone than to be happy?

Also.

Qingji, as the king of Wu and the king of a country, even if he likes beauty, he should not flirt with two beautiful concubines in public.

Of course, the bystanders will not say much, but in their hearts they are at least criticizing Qingji's behavior.

"King Wu is really a gentleman."

Meng Huan praised it, and immediately waved her hand and ordered the two young women of Huaxin to retreat.

……

In his spare time, when others were hunting, the bored Qingji took care of himself and tinkered with some necessary horse harnesses.

Stirrups and horseshoes are very simple things, but they are very useful for horses.

The stirrups allow the rider to control the horse so well that he can free his hands to fight on horseback.

Horseshoes can protect the horse's hooves and prolong their life.

These two harnesses can play an epoch-making role in the development of cavalry, but Qingji does not plan to invent them now!

Why?

Because of the lack of horses in Huaxia, the state of Wu, which lives in the southeast corner, is even less horse, or even does not produce horses, and is far inferior to the vassal states in the north and the nomadic mins in the north in terms of horse breeding.

As a result, once Qingji invented stirrups and horseshoes, the last to benefit would be the northern vassal states rich in horses, such as Qin, Jin, Yan, and Qi.

The southern vassal states such as Wu, Chu, and Yue will inevitably be confined to the south of the Yangtze River in the future, and it will be difficult for them to advance to the north and compete for hegemony in the north!

This kind of stupid thing of making wedding dresses for others is not to be done.

What's more, once the stirrups and horseshoes flow into Mobei, if the Hu people are equipped with a large number of such harnesses, their combat effectiveness will definitely be higher.

At that time, it will be a catastrophe for the Central Plains countries, which are still prevalent in car warfare and have a flat river.

Qingji doesn't want to be a sinner in Chinese history!

Therefore, Qingji is only equipping his mount, the Fire Dragon Pony, with a bow leather, a bridle, a halter, and a saddle.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the saddle was still just a prototype, and the wrangler often just put a layer of cloth bag filled with cotton wool on the horse's back and cover it tightly to alleviate the pain of the horse's bumps when galloping.

Qingji is to improve the saddle on the basis of the original.

He first cut it into wood, then wrapped it in cotton, then wrapped it in leather, and then fastened it with special bronze nails, and a saddle that tended to be completely comfortable, and thus appeared.

"King Wu."

Just as Qingji was about to turn over and get on the horse and test the actual effect of the saddle, a sweet shout suddenly sounded not far away.

Qingji turned his head to look, and saw that it was Meng Huan, the Tai of Chu State, surrounded by a group of people from Gong'e Temple, walking towards him with lotus steps.

"Kunita."

"What is Wu Wangshi doing?"

"The widow is making a saddle."

"Saddle?"

Meng Huan was very puzzled.

Qingji smiled slightly, patted the saddle on the back of the fire dragon horse, and said, "This is the saddle." When riding a horse, if you wear this saddle, you can reduce the pain of bumps and make it more comfortable. ”

"It's a novelty. King Wu, can you let the mourning family give it a try? ”

"Kokuta, please."

Qingji didn't mind letting Meng Huan test ride.

Meng Huan was originally the princess of Qin, Qin was in the west, mixed with Rong Di, and the ancestors of the Ying clan were born to raise horses for Zhou Tianzi for generations, so they often dealt with horses.

For Meng Huan to ride a horse, Qingji is not surprising at all.
