Chapter 18: Takahashi Saddle
Send money? Looking at the soldiers of the princes of the entire Han Dynasty, there is no money, only the private soldiers of the generals, that is, the subordinates, will pay and take the money.
Especially the Yellow Turban Army adapted by Guan Hai's subordinates, except for robbing the big households at the beginning and getting money, but later, the big households were looted, and the poor people were destitute, so they could only join the Yellow Turban Army. ”
Eating enough is a problem, and where have you seen money? Lu Bu can pay subsidies here, that's just great.
"There are so many people, they have to eat every day when they open their mouths, and the team doesn't have that much money, each person will be given 20 copper coins, and in the future, if there are outstanding performances, active training, and meritorious service in wars, we will also reward money."
"Thank you, General, thank you, General."
The shouting shook the sky, Hua Xiong was completely dead when he saw it, Lu Bu was a good means, and the soldiers returned to their hearts.
Chen Heng next to him was distressed, and issued 120,000 copper coins at one time, although there are still several million copper coins, but now there are a total of 110,000 people eating, and they also have to help the surrounding refugees, and the money is spent the same way.
Lu Bu followed up and announced: "From tomorrow onwards, all soldiers, the two-meal system, will be changed to a three-meal system, and one more meal will be added in the evening, okay." ”
"Okay, okay."
Chen Heng slapped his thigh, damn Mom, I'm dying, everyone has two meals a day, and they have to make three meals a day, what is this going on?
"The battalions have started a new training model, and it is strictly forbidden to slack off. Practice until Ben is satisfied, and then we move on. ”
"Yes."
The soldiers were happy to pay and eat three meals, but they couldn't be happy anymore when they experienced Lu Bu's new training mode.
"No."
The generals agreed and went down to train, and Lu Bu and the Zhou Iron Cavalry went out of the camp to patrol.
Chen Heng stopped Lu Bu and didn't let him go: "Lord, lord, change three meals a day, and the army of more than 60,000 people will have at least 30,000 catties of extra food, which is a huge expense." ”
"Come with me, I will have time to inform you in the morning."
Lu Bu took Chen Heng to the small camp where the army was hoarding grain and grass, where it was guarded by a fence and heavily guarded.
The tent was a neat bag of grain, and one bag was a hundred catties.
When you open it, there is a yellow side inside.
"My lord, what kind of face is this?"
"It's called stick noodles, it's delicate and delicious, it's the best way to satisfy hunger, and it's made into porridge for breakfast or dinner."
"How many?"
"A bunch is 20,000 catties, a total of 300,000 catties, enough to support a period of time, have the big caravans from all over the country arrived?"
These stick noodles were all exchanged by Lu Bu from the system, and Chen Heng didn't ask much, knowing that his own lord was the chosen one.
Chen Heng shook his head: "When I got to a few big caravans, the small caravans didn't dare to come." However, hundreds of boxes of wine have been sold, and it is indeed very profitable. ”
Lu Bu nodded: "Anyone who wants wine, in the future, must pay at least a month in advance, or exchange important materials for it, remember, we have this wine, and no one else has it." ”
"Okay, I get my lord. In this case, I am also relieved, and fully support the main father-in-law to change from two meals to three meals. ”
Lu Bu got on the red rabbit horse, took Cao Xing and Cheng Lian, and led five hundred light cavalry out of the camp and came to a wide cavalry training ground.
Zhang Tiezhu, the craftsman steward, had already arrived and led ten craftsmen to wait here.
The 500 cavalry commanded by Cao Xing was the most elite light cavalry in the iron cavalry of Bingzhou, belonging to the scouts of the former army, using short weapons, scimitars, bows and arrows, and the battle was mainly based on bows and arrows.
A few days ago, the soldiers had already changed into bilateral stirrups, and the accuracy of archery was greatly improved.
Lu Bu, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing and others came to the craftsman's side.
Zhang Tiezhu was a little nervous, although Lu Bu looked amiable, but the pressure was very great.
"The villain meets Wen Hou."
"No need to be polite, change the saddle for Captain Cao first."
"Yes."
Cao Xing looked at it, what is the design of the lord, the two sides of this saddle are raised high, the person sits in the middle, plus the bilateral stirrups on both sides, there is no challenge to ride this horse.
Soon changed the saddle, Cao Xingfei got on the horse, rode back and forth for two laps, the front bow, the left bow, the right bow, and the back bow became very simple, for no other reason, the Takahashi saddle has support, and you don't have to worry about falling when you twist your waist.
Cao Xuan came back from a lap and was very happy.
"My lord, this saddle is very good at archery, and its accuracy is even better than that of double stirrups."
"You are good at archery, don't count, call twenty soldiers with the worst arrows."
Cao Xuan whistled and called twenty cavalrymen, and Zhang Tiezhu immediately arranged for craftsmen to put on the Takahashi saddle.
When the cavalry got on the horse, it felt a little awkward at first, but soon discovered the advantages of this saddle, and the control of the horse became simpler, and the hands were freed, especially the return arrow was more powerful.
Cheng Lian was a little puzzled: "Are we going to build a light cavalry based on bows and arrows?" ”
"That's right, if our light cavalry has two horses, or even three horses, it can raid three hundred miles in one day and one night, so the speed of the march is quite fast, and it is very beneficial to raid the enemy."
There are not many Gaoqiao saddles built, just like that, there are more than two of them, and Lu Bu asked Zhang Tiezhu and other craftsmen to try it out and improve the areas that need to be improved on the spot.
On the whole, Lu Bu was still very satisfied, and he was overjoyed: "Zhang Tiezhu, all craftsmen who participate in the production of bilateral stirrups and Takahashi saddles will be rewarded with 30 Wen, and each person will have a bowl of chicken noodle soup." ”
"Thank you, General, for the reward." Zhang Tiezhu was full of emotion, obviously he could let them work for nothing, but Lu Bu returned the money.
"Go down and continue to rush to work, and make 500 sets of Takahashi saddles as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Zhang Tiezhu returned to the camp to continue to work, Lu Bu led five hundred light cavalry to the northeast slowly, not far in front of Jinan County, here is the south of Jishui, fertile farmland, many land.
But at the same time, because of the activities of the Yellow Turban Army, a large amount of farmland has become wasteland, and the prosperous village has become empty.
In the middle of the line, the horn sounded on the periphery, and this was a situation.
Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked, and saw a group of men and horses coming from the northeast, the number was not much, about more than 2,000 people, there were dozens of cavalry in the front, and there were foot soldiers behind, and there was a big Chen character on the banner.
Lu Bu immediately greeted him, and from a distance, he saw that the person who was the head was actually a scribe, a lupine scarf.
The scribe put his hand on the pergola and watched, and saw a group of cavalry on the opposite side neatly and neatly, the first person was in good spirits, wearing armor, sitting down on a red rabbit horse, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, who else could it be, and shouted loudly first: "Dare to ask, but Lu Fengxian." ”
