"How's this going?"

"Your Highness first put your foot on the stirrup, and then forced."

On the square on the left side of the back, Zhu Youzhen clumsily learned how to ride a horse, and Lu Wenzhao taught him by hand.

Zhu Youxiao next to him sat on horseback, his eyes full of smiles.

"Your Highness doesn't need to rely on your hands to hold the reins to maintain balance, the reins are used to control horses, and the horse will not be able to stand the reins if you pull the reins hard, and the horse may be shocked if you use it hard."

"How do you pull that?" Zhu Youzhen cautiously got on the horse and honestly accepted Lu Wenzhao's teaching.

As for his question, Lu Wenzhao explained:

"When riding a horse normally, just hold the reins lightly with your hand to make sure the reins don't slip."

If it is an open area, the familiar hands will often find a place within reach of the reins and plug them well, so that people can stretch on the horse's back or something, which is called "believing in the reins of the horse". ”

"There are two ways to ride a horse, one is called sit-up and wave fighting, and the other is called pressing waves."

His Royal Highness only needs to sit down at the trough and then lift his hips by the upward thrust of the crest, so that it is synchronized with the waves on the horse's back, and it will not "spank", so it is called "spanking". ”

"The principle of pressing the waves is similar, but the movement is much smaller, and the legs do not need to exert force to lift the buttocks off the saddle, but use the strength of the hips and waist to "rub" back and forth on the saddle to synchronize with the waves on the horse's back. ”

"It's like Your Highness, you've been pressing this wave, so it's also called pressing the wave."

"Different people are used to different ways, some people like to press waves if they have good waist and abdominal strength and flexibility, and some people like to fight waves if they have good leg strength."

"And how do you ride in the army?" Zhu Youzhen was a little dazed when he heard it, but he still wrote down the trick and asked Lu Wenzhao.

When Lu Wenzhao heard this, he explained:

"The cavalry in the army prefers to fight waves, because there will be some friction in the waves, and the thighs will be uncomfortable after a long time."

During the Three Kingdoms period, when Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, he lamented that "the flesh was reborn", that is, he was accustomed to playing waves and had not ridden a horse for a long time, resulting in long meat. ”

"If you sit up with your hips and thighs for a long time, your thighs are indeed not easy to grow flesh, and the amount of exercise is much smaller."

"If the cavalry is a long-distance attack, it generally uses a pressure wave, and if it is a short-distance attack, it is a wave."

Speaking of this, Lu Wenzhao padded cotton under Zhu Youzhen's buttocks, and tied two pieces of cotton to his inner thighs with something, and then explained:

"Novices riding horses, riding a little longer distance, thighs and buttocks will be ground and bloody."

"If you don't put on cotton, you may not even be able to get off the ground when you get up the next day, and the bruises and blood bubbles on the thighs are green, and the blood blisters are all blisters when you grab the saddle ring with your hands."

"So miserable?" Zhu Youzhen gasped, and then asked carefully:

"How long does it take for this novice to learn to ride a horse?"

"Half an hour fast, a few days slow, you can learn to fight waves, and it is not difficult to learn to press waves after learning to fight waves." Lu Wenzhao responded:

"After hitting the waves, I don't feel like riding dozens or hundreds of miles at all."

"But a lot of horses like to bully people and shake their heads when they first get on them, but when you do a few sit-ups and get in with him, he understands what's going on with you."

"Your Highness, this horse is two foals specially selected by the humble position, and they have a docile temper."

"Your Highness will wait a while and try to ride, and you will soon be able to clearly feel that it is beginning to show favor to Your Highness, and it will naturally be easy to control after that."

"Of course, if His Royal Highness changes horses and rides in the future, if you don't know how to ride, the horse will bully you, and you can't control him alive or dead, he knows that people can't do it, and they won't obey people, which is exactly the same as people."

But if the person and the horse cooperate well during the ride, the horse will also be happy, and the pace will be much brisker when he is happy, and he will chew his mouth title, chewing his mouth full of foam, which is called "receiving the title", just like shaking our legs when we are in a good mood. ”

"Well said!" Zhu Youxiao, who was next to him, heard Lu Wenzhaojiao's words, and interspersed stories from time to time, and couldn't help but shout hello.

After Zhu You listened, he also felt that it was not so scary, so he stretched out his hand and touched the foal's head, and then followed Lu Wenzhao to learn the spoken language of various rides, and gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs:

"Drive!"

With just one sound, the foal began to walk in small steps, and Zhu Youzhen learned little by little according to what Lu Wenzhao taught.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to protect him, but he was afraid that the bone penetrating dragon would scare the foal, so he turned over and dismounted, and came to the other side to lead the horse for Zhu Youzhen.

The Son of Heaven leads the horse, and I am afraid that few people in the entire Ming Dynasty have enjoyed this kind of honor.

However, at the moment, Zhu Youzhen was focused on how to ride a horse, so he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these, but a group of eunuchs not far away smacked their tongues.

But this smacking lasted for a moment and then stopped, and they slowly turned into surprise.

I saw that in their visible speed, Zhu Youzhen mastered the trick of riding a horse and accelerated his speed.

Gradually, Zhu Youxiao and Lu Wenzhao also let go of the reins, and Zhu Youzhen rode the foal and began to gallop according to what Lu Wenzhao had taught.

"I seem to have better control over my body than my predecessor......"

While riding, facing the oncoming wind, Zhu Youzhen was surprised.

In his memory, the control of the body of the predecessor is not good, but it is not bad, it is the ordinary kind.

But when it comes to him, the improvement in memory and strength are counted, and the control of the body has improved a lot.

Thinking like this, he was a little bolder, and actually tried to turn over and dismount directly while riding.

This move frightened Zhu Youxiao a lot, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Just before he could say what he was worried about, Zhu Youzhen dismounted unharmed and ran for a few steps in a row, turned over on the horse again, and turned back and forth from the left and right sides of the foal.

This move made everyone smack their tongues in the audience.

When Zhu Youzhen felt that it was almost over, and when he turned back, what he got was a suspicious expression on the face of the good imperial brother:

"I'm afraid that my brother is not used to riding horses in Changping, and he came back to deliberately provoke me, right?"

This provocation is not to provoke anger, but to deliberately tease Zhu Youxiao.

In this regard, Zhu Youzhen could only smile bitterly: "Where is it." ”

"If my brother doesn't believe it, you can ask Lu Wenzhao, I have been snowing heavily for days in Changping, how can I have the opportunity to ride a horse."

"Huh?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Lu Wenzhao suspiciously, and Lu Wenzhao also said embarrassedly:

"Long live, that's true."

"Maybe it's my talent......" Zhu Youzhen was a little weak-hearted, and the good royal brother listened:

"If you say that you are talented, then come and practice riding and archery!"

As he spoke, as soon as he sent the bow and arrow forward, he asked Zhu Youzhen to try it.
