This kind of praise is not necessary, is it something to be proud of when you think of a saddle? Ning Qingxi was speechless.

However, she has been praised since she was a child, her family belongs to that kind of encouraging education, Ning Qingxi has developed a confident character since she was a child, of course, self-confidence is not pride, nor is it ignorant self-righteousness.

Ning Changrong asked excitedly, "Girl, can you get the saddle out?" I just learned to ride a horse so hard, if a soldier learns to ride a horse, but also on the horse to fight with the enemy flexibly, it must be more difficult, now our Central Plains cavalry is almost no one stronger than whom, but if the people of the North Dome enter the customs, we are not as good as each other in the cavalry. ”

"No matter how we practice, there must be a difference between us and the people who grew up on horseback, so we can start with equipment to minimize the gap between the two sides."

Ning Qingxi bowed his head, and then looked up the appearance of the saddle in the encyclopedia in his head.

"Found it, Dad, you take me to see the appearance of the North Dome Horse first."

Ning Changrong pulled people out with him.

The height of the ancient horses in this time and space is somewhat different from their modern times, and Ning Qingxi needs to confirm it again, and then he can draw a more suitable saddle horse pedal.

"That's it." Ning Qingxi took a notebook, glanced at the horse a few times, and scribbled on the notebook, then put away the notebook and said to Ning Changrong.

Wang Hanting, who was training in the barracks, came over curiously.

"What are you doing, Xixi, have you come up with anything good?"

Ning Qingxi smiled and nodded after saying hello to the other party.

Now it was Wang Hanting's turn to be surprised, he just asked casually, did he really come up with something good?

"Is this in?"

Ning Changrong explained, "Aren't you going to train a cavalryman?" I thought that it would not be easy to sit on this horse and not slippery, so as soon as I told my daughter, she came up with a solution. ”

Ning Changrong motioned for Ning Qingxi to continue.

Ning Qingxi showed Wang Hanting the simple shape of the saddle stirrup that he had scribbled on paper.

While the other party was watching, she introduced it, and even Ning Changrong turned his head over.

"Put this thing on the back of the horse, when the person sits on the horse, there will be a fulcrum will not be in a hurry, you can reduce the force on the waist, let the legs help assist, if you fight on the horse, there is the help of the horse saddle can also better assist the soldiers, it is not easy to fall off the horse, and at the same time, it can better free your hands."

Wang Hanting's eyes became brighter and brighter, his breathing was a little short, and he pulled the drawing in his hand tightly, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.

No, not as if, this is a priceless treasure for a general.

The Han people's cavalry has always been a weakness for the Beiqiong people, so the Beiqiong people can come and go like the wind and loot at will without taking them seriously, and when they heard the news and rushed away, the other party had already grabbed it and ran.

"Sissy, can this thing really be made? Does it really work as well as you say? Chang Yuan assigned the task of forming a cavalry to Wang Hanting, and Wang Hanting's pressure increased greatly, and he was thinking about how to form a cavalry as quickly as possible.

For this reason, he also found many stables to come to the barracks to teach the soldiers to be familiar with the habits of horses, eat and live with horses, and cultivate tacit understanding.

Everything else is fine, but the step of the horse is difficult, and the soldier may break his legs during practice.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, the effect I said is absolutely true, you can know if there is an effect if you think about it yourself."

According to the other party's description, Wang Hanting briefly thought about what the saddle looked like after the horse was put on in his mind, he often rode a horse when he was marching and fighting, but he didn't say how powerful his riding skills were.

If he really had a saddle, maybe he would really be able to fight the people of the North Dome on a horse without falling behind.

"Good! When will this saddle be made? ”

Ning Qingxi estimated the time in his heart and replied: "It won't be long, if you are in a hurry, it will be done in one day." "The artisan workshop has a lot of people, so it's easy to build a few sets.

"Great! Xixi, you must send it to Uncle Wang first after you get it out, you have done Uncle Wang a great favor! He turned his head and pulled Ning Changrong again, and said impatiently: "Let's go, let's hurry up and report the good news to the general." ”

Ning Changrong helplessly stopped him: "Brother Wang, we haven't done anything yet, it's not appropriate to report to the general when we come out, anyway, we can't wait long, wait for the real thing to come out tomorrow, we will report to the general after we have tested it ourselves, how about it?" ”

After thinking about it, Wang Hanting gave up the hand that was holding Ning Changrong's arm, he patted his head and said, "It's still the Changrong brothers who have thought it through, okay, then let's wait to report to the general tomorrow." ”

"There's one more thing," Ning Qingxi added, "I heard my father say that the damage rate of horses on the battlefield is very large, and it's all because of the horse's hooves, right?" ”

Both men nodded at the same time.

"Isn't there any protection under the horses' hooves?"

Ning Qingxi was looking up information about the saddle in the encyclopedia when he accidentally saw another thing.

Wang Hanting scratched his head and wondered a little, "Do you need any protective measures for the horseshoe?" ”

"We must wear shoes, otherwise our feet will be worn by stones, and the other horse also needs to wear shoes, otherwise the stones will wear out its hooves, and it will no longer be able to fight."

"Horses? What shoes do horses wear? How do horses wear shoes? Can it still run with shoes on? Wang Hanting looked puzzled.

Ning Qingxi quickly scribbled on her notebook and used the charcoal pen to paint.

She pointed to the shape she had drawn, "This thing is called a horseshoe, and when you nail it to a horse's shoe, it won't directly touch the stone when you run away, and it won't be broken into the horse's hoof, which is equivalent to a horse's shoes." ”

Wang Hanting had never heard that horses still had to wear shoes, but Ning Qingxi's whimsical ideas were known to everyone inside, and he didn't dare to easily refute the other party's ideas.

"Okay, in that case, then Xixi, you can let the craftsmen build it together, let's try it tomorrow, and we'll know if it's okay."

Ning Qingxi and Ning Changrong left the barracks, Ning Changrong solved a big problem, he has been thinking about this matter for the past few days, and he has not dealt with political affairs, this time the rest of the matter will be handed over to Ning Qingxi, he went to the Yamen office, and Ning Qingxi went to the craftsman workshop.

Drawings like this she took out were usually made in a secret workshop in Taoyuan Village on the mountain.

asked her to be sent to the foot of the mountain, and Ning Qingxi was taken to the secret workshop by the nearest way.

"Miss Ning is here, did she come up with something to build?" Lu Xuan said happily.

Ning Qingxi usually doesn't come here to wander around when she has nothing to do, mainly because she is too far away and she is lazy.

Either Lu Cui asked her to verify whether the thing was successfully built, or she had something that needed to be made in the craftsman's workshop.
