Of course, Emperor Jianming is not called Jianming, but the honorific name Jianming.

Today's emperor is called Jianming, which means to create, wise.

Since ancient times, the emperor's name cannot be called directly, so what to do, give the emperor a "number", the emperor's name usually has a honorific name, a year name, a temple number, and a nickname.

1. Temple number: After the death of the emperor, the special name given when the emperor was enshrined in the Taimiao room, such as: Taizu, Gaozu, Shizu, Holy Ancestor, Taizong, Gaozong, Xianzong, Suzong, etc.

2. Honorific title: When the emperor was alive, the ministers began to have ministers to ask for it, basically putting good words on the emperor, and constantly lengthening.

3. Era name: When the emperor was in power, starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the founding era name was Jianyuan. An emperor has as little as one era name and as many as a dozen, and he has to change the era name when encountering major events. After the emperor's death, later generations evaluated the merits and demerits of his life.

4. Nickname: After the emperor's death, later generations evaluated his merits and demerits during his lifetime.

That is to say, the honorific title and the year name were called when the emperor was alive, and when he died, he had to be called the temple number or the name of the emperor.

Now the emperor's honorific name is Jianming, and the year name is [Chengping], which is already [Chengping 25 years]

Emperor Jianming told Li Ming that he was going to come to the hunting ground today, but the subordinates who went to his mansion only conveyed that the person should go, and told him the location, saying that he wanted to go by himself.

Li Ming couldn't figure out what the situation was, so he had to take four followers to find this place all the way, but what he saw along the way made him feel Ling Ran in his heart.

It's just that along the way, you can see the army assembled and trained everywhere, and each of them is dressed in a strong and strong body, and it is obvious that they are elite soldiers.

In this emperor's hunting ground, there are so many elite soldiers!

It seems that His Majesty is really ready for everything. ’

A thought flashed in Li Ming's heart, and then he finally came to a gate, and seeing that someone seemed to be waiting, he couldn't help but clench his fists: "Dare to ask this sergeant, but you entered the hunting ground from here?" ”

"Yes, I am the centurion of the First Army, and I was ordered by the emperor to lead the way for the newly entered training officers, dare to ask but I am here to lead the army?"

The officer nodded respectfully, then asked, clenching his fists.

"Exactly, then I'll bother you to lead the way."

Li Ming raised his eyebrows and took out the waist card given to him by the emperor, the man looked at it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction, immediately turned around and got on the horse, and gave the other five horses to Li Ming and the five others.

The emperor said that there would be five people coming, so he specially asked him to prepare five horses to come, which is why he felt that it would be him as soon as he saw Li Ming and the five people standing there.

"What a good horse."

Li Ming looked at the five horses in front of him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Distinguishing the quality of a horse can be divided into ten steps, all of which were gathered by the ancients of the earth:

Look at a piece of skin from afar, and look at the limbs and hooves up close.

Look at the chest width in the front and the buttocks in the back.

When the waist is pinched, the nose is pinched and squeezed.

Shaking in front of his eyes, he opened his mouth to look carefully.

Hurry up and take a walk, it's better to ride.

The so-called looking at a piece of skin from a distance: it is to look at the whole picture of the horse, including coat color, nutrition, body size, body structure, body symmetry and so on.

The so-called close look at the limbs and hooves: the four legs are an important organ of the horse's movement, as the saying goes: "a good horse is out of the legs, a good person is out of the mouth", the limbs have a great relationship with the hooves and the horse's ability, so we must look closely and carefully. It is necessary to see whether the limb posture is correct, the thickness of the tube bone and bone rod, the number and strength of the tendons, the tube and the system should be carefully looked at and touched, and the size of the hoof, the quality of the hoof, the length of the hoof hair, etc. should be carefully observed.

The so-called front look at the width of the chest: the front looks at the width of the chest (not too wide, not too narrow, it is better to accommodate one hoof) and the fullness of the muscles.

The so-called back look at the buttocks: the back to see whether the jiri and buttocks are strong and fleshy, and the shape is neat.

The so-called waist pinch: check whether the resistance of the back and waist is strong, and at the same time take a look at the armor (also called the front mountain) and the jiri (also called the back mountain), compare the height of the front and back, as the saying goes, "the front mountain is high and you don't need to pick"; Whether the back and waist are wide and straight, and whether the combination with the jiri is natural or not, etc.

The so-called nose squeezing and squeezing: check the nose for symptoms, such as horse melioidosis, and at the same time look at the height of the nose bridge and the size of the nostrils.

The so-called three shaking in front of the eye: make the horse's head face the sun, and shake it three times with your hand in front of the horse's eyes to check the quality of the horse's vision and observe the shape of the eyeball.

The so-called opening to look carefully: mainly according to the teeth to confirm the age of the horse, and check the quality and shape of the teeth, the bite of the upper and lower jaws such as whether it is "heaven and earth" and "earth and earth", etc., if the horse has a passport and brand, can help determine the exact age.

The so-called rush to go: it is to see the appearance, to see if the hoof prints fall on a straight line when moving in a straight line, and to see if the horse's legs are lame.

The so-called best ride: it is to check whether the horse has any shortcomings when carrying weight and moving quickly. Especially for horses to be ridden, it is necessary to ride them to see if they are light and flexible. Of course, it's best to be able to observe and ride for many days on end.

Li Ming's cultivation is already very deep now, and he is naturally deaf and clear-sighted, and he noticed the six horses behind the sergeant as early as a long time ago.

From a distance, the six horses are all tall and strong, well-proportioned, and the hind hooves can always step on the landing point of the front hooves between walking from time to time, and now when I get closer, the horse's wide nostrils prove that the lung capacity is strong, the eyes are clear and bright, which proves that the eyesight is good, the waist and back are wide and flat, and the body structure is natural.

And the limbs are thick, the muscles and bones are strong, and there are no symptoms, although he has not ridden yet, he can basically be sure that it is a good horse, so Li Yang couldn't help but praise.

"This is a military horse, and everyone in the army can ride it, so it's not surprising."

Hearing Li Ming's praise, it could be seen that Li Ming was a person who knew horses and understood horses, and the sergeant couldn't help but smile and respond, his attitude was obviously much kinder.

"Everyone in the army can ride, does everyone have such a good horse?"

Li Ming was a little moved when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask.

"The infantry on the defensive line is five people and one horse, and the cavalry usually rides one person, and one person rides three horses during training, and you must learn to control the three horses to gallop together, and you must also learn to change and protect the horses in battle, and everyone has this kind of good horse to ride."

The sergeant responded with a smile, Li Ming moved his eyebrows, a flash of surprise flashed in his expression, and he was secretly surprised by the wealth accumulated by the Great Qian Empire over the years.

It seems that for the next war, the emperor has really made completely adequate preparations.

I just don't know how to explore the situation on the Xiongnu side. ’

A thought flashed in Li Ming's heart, and then he noticed that the horses in front of him only had reins and no stirrups like the horses he rode on weekdays, and he couldn't help but show a touch of essence in his eyes, while he and Wang Guangyun, Liu Wu, Liu Zhuang, and Zhao Xiu around him got on the horse one after another, and looked at the sergeant and asked again: "Dare to ask this benevolent brother, all the horses in the world are tied to such reins, and there is nothing else?" ”

"No, the Huns are good at riding, and there are no reins on the horses, and the reins are tied to the horses, which is a method that His Majesty has come up with today, which can allow us to better control the horses."

The officer who led the way responded with a smile, then raised his eyebrows, a little proud: "It is this rope that allows us to have so many soldiers to control the three horses so quickly." ”

"I see, thank you for the sergeant."

Li Ming nodded, with a smile on his face, and politely hugged his fist at the sergeant.

"These are things that everyone in the army knows, I don't say that I think the head of the palace will soon find out, it can't be called a puzzle, the head of the palace is rich and rich, and this little thing is not enough to worry about."

The officer who led the way shook his head in some surprise, Li Ming glanced at him with a light smile when he heard this: "This is a bad word, there must be my teacher in the threesome, there are many things that people need to learn in this life, no matter how erudite they are, it is impossible to know everything in the world, so no matter how much knowledge you have, you must have an open-minded learning mentality." ”

"The matter of this military horse may be simple, but the sergeant solved my confusion in a few words, isn't this just saving me time, and time is life, and the sergeant deserves to be grateful."

"Besides, even if I win the first place in this palace exam, I am far from the crown of literature, there are so many polymaths in the world, I am only the head of the palace, how dare I be crowned."

Li Ming did not arrogantly pose because the other party was just a sergeant, but was very humble.

In any era, fame is equally important, in modern times fame can bring great changes to people, ordinary people can make a fortune, businessmen can stabilize their business, politicians can enter a higher class, and in ancient times fame was more important.

Famous talents are more likely to succeed, and the same is true at this time, the general trend of the future has been faintly opened, and Li Ming wants to shape his image from now on to pave the way for future fame.

For example, the reputation of this corporal will spread.

The sergeant obviously didn't expect that when he was the head of the palace, the mortal figure of Wenqu Xingjun would be so polite to an ordinary centurion like himself, but this also made him hug his fists with a lot more emphasis on his expression: "In Xia Wei Wu, the words of the head of the hall have been taught." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, these are all the reasons it should be, and the sergeant is tired to lead the way."

Li Ming smiled faintly on his face, then arched his hand and spoke.

The sergeant nodded heavily when he heard this, and then led Li Ming and the five people to the place arranged by His Majesty with a rein.

"Rack~"

Li Ming also mobilized his horses and followed with the four followers around him, but he couldn't help squinting his eyes on the road, pondering in his heart.

In his heart, he was weighing whether he would be a little wrong if he made the stirrup and the saddle and showed them to the Great Qian Emperor now.

Nowadays, the soldiers only have reins, but no saddles and stirrups, and if they have saddles and stirrups, then the combat effectiveness of the overall cavalry can undoubtedly rise in a straight line.

The appearance of the saddle and stirrup played a huge role in the history of the eastern part of the earth.

The saddle allowed the cavalry to fight on horseback without causing unnecessary damage due to direct contact with the horse's body, but it was also difficult to stabilize their position on the horse and fight.

The stirrup was born to solve this dilemma.

Stable body shape for easy combat

Although the stirrup is small, its role cannot be ignored. People rode on horseback, because horses often take on a bumpy state when running, let alone galloping during battle. As a result, the soldiers had to clamp the horse's belly firmly with their legs to prevent themselves from getting out of the horse, and even had to grasp the horse's body with their hands to prevent them from falling off the horse's back.

In this way, although the whole person can get on the horse, how can he fight?

Soldiers are naturally not the same as us ordinary people, they have better physical fitness, a stronger sense of balance on horses, and it is naturally okay to fight on horseback. Even so, they dedicate a large part of their energy to maintaining their condition on the horse, and this consumption is undoubtedly enormous.

The stirrups are located on both sides of the horse's belly, so that the soldier can step on them when he rides on the horse, so that the soldier's feet are no longer dangling, the center of gravity is naturally much more stable, and the energy consumed is much less. With the energy to balance their bodies, the soldiers are naturally more able to devote themselves to the war.

Reduce soldier requirements and training costs

Cavalry, as the main force of ancient warfare, was very expensive to train when there were no stirrups. Just to stabilize your body on a horse requires a long training time. There are even soldiers who may not be able to adapt to fighting immediately because of their poor physical fitness. After stabilizing the body, you can further learn how to fight on horseback, because of the impact of the battle between the two sides, it is easy to cause the originally stable body shape to be bumpy, and more serious ones fall off the horse during the battle. Therefore, the physical fitness requirements of cavalry are relatively high for immediate combat.

At the same time, it is also a long-term process to select a group of cavalry with good physical fitness to train and send them to the battlefield.

And the advent of stirrups clearly lowered these requirements.

The stirrup itself requires the ability to maintain balance on the horse with its own force on the horse, and the stirrup directly solves this problem. Then the requirements for cavalry are also synchronized, and the soldiers can generally fight. The absence of this requirement naturally reduces the cost of training cavalry. At the same time, when fighting immediately, they will not fall off the horse due to unstable shape, which reduces unnecessary casualties.

In addition, the stirrups also prevent the soldiers from deforming their bodies due to clamping the horse's legs, which is also a great benefit for maintaining the health of the cavalry.

The appearance of stirrups, both in terms of the number of cavalry and the strategy of cavalry, played a promoting role, further promoting the development of cavalry.

'Now that Daqian does not have saddle stirrups, there are such a number of cavalry, and if you add saddle stirrups, it will inevitably go to a higher level, and if I win the war, I will be more valuable as the head of the palace who supports the war. ’

'This world is a world of immortals, not an ordinary ancient world, although the saddle stirrup is a great achievement, it is nothing in front of the immortals, and it should be fine if you take it out. ’

Li Ming thought silently in his heart, and as the figure of the emperor appeared in front of him, his expression was respectful, and he had gradually strengthened his thoughts.
