"Oh? Alright, I'll go with you."
Following Jiang Yue, Wang Jian arrived at the backyard of the manor.
In front, there was a stable with a few horses tied to it.
With curiosity and doubt, Wang Jian came to the stable. Jiang Yue pointed at the horses and said,"Master, this is what I want to show you."”
"These horses?"
Wang Jian was stunned. He took a look and then said with a smile," Jiang Yue, the quality of your horses can only be considered ordinary…There's quite a gap compared to the horses used in the army.”
"That's right. Master has been in the military all his life. He must be able to tell at a glance.”
Jiang Yue smiled and said," However, what I want Master to see is not the quality of the horses, but the differences between these horses and ordinary horses.”
"What are the differences?"
Wang Jian was stunned. When he looked over once more, his expression immediately became shocked.
"What is that thing on the horse's back?”
Master, that's called a saddle."
Jiang Yue said,"It's used to stabilize the body."”
"Saddles? Stabilize the body?"
When Wang Jian heard this, he was immediately curious." There's actually such a thing? Can I give it a try?"
"Master, please try!"
"Good!"
Wang Jian immediately moved the horse out and jumped up." Drive, drive, drive, drive! Good stuff, really good stuff!"
Wang Jian dismounted and was extraordinarily excited." This old man is so old, yet I can actually sit so firmly on a warhorse! This saddle was really a good thing! With him, the rider would be able to sit on the horse very stably. When shooting arrows on the horse, they would not have to spend more than half of their energy to be afraid of falling off!”
"That's right!"
Jiang Yue smiled and said," This is the use of a saddle! With a saddle, ordinary soldiers could also ride their horses and fight. The combat strength of the cavalry would definitely rise to a higher level!”
"Not just a step up, this saddle of yours can probably awaken the true function of this cavalry!”
Wang Jian patted the back of his horse excitedly." Good stuff, good stuff!”
Of course, this was a good thing. The invention of the saddle gave the cavalry real lethality.
In the past, only people who were good at riding could ride horses.
After all, just sitting steadily on the horse was already a challenge. Not to mention, not only did he have to sit steadily, but he also had to attack his opponent during the battle.
Even if one's horsemanship was slightly good, when it came to a real battle, they might not be able to sit steadily on the horse's back.
However, the appearance of the saddle freed the warrior's waist strength. The warrior only needed to clamp his legs tightly, and the rest of his strength would be used to fight and shoot.
The combat strength of the cavalry had naturally risen by several levels!
Of course, the saddles had only appeared 100 years later, and they were naturally unique in Great Qin!
"Master, other than the saddle, there is something special on the horse.”
Jiang Yue smiled and said," Master, take a look. What's different?”
"Oh? Other than the saddle, there was another place? Then I'd like to take a closer look…"
When Wang Jian heard this, he looked up and down carefully and did not discover anything different.
Other than the saddle, there was also the reins.
Suddenly!
When Wang Jian lowered his head slightly, he inadvertently saw that the horse's footsteps seemed to be a little abnormal.
"Is…is there something on the horse's hooves?”
Wang Jian lowered his head and asked with his eyes wide open.
"That's right!"
Jiang Yue chuckled." There's a piece of metal on this horse's hoof!”
"Iron sheet?"
Wang Jian was surprised." Iron sheet, what is it used for?”
"This thing is called a horseshoe."
Jiang Yue explained," It allows the horse to grip the ground more firmly. Moreover, with the iron sheet, it can prevent the horse's hooves from wearing out too quickly! With these horseshoes, it would not take a few years for a large number of warhorses to be replaced.”
"Amazing, amazing!"
Wang Jian said in surprise," This is good stuff, a great good stuff! "Great Qin has always lacked warhorses, and the ones that can be used in battles can be counted on one's fingers! And those who could ride horses were even fewer! If Great Qin had these saddles and horseshoes, it would be able to create 100,000 Cavalry! In this way, what is there to fear when facing the Xiongnu?”
"Master is right!"
Jiang Yue smiled and said," If Great Qin also had a cavalry, then the Xiongnu wouldn't be so much of a threat to us! The Xiongnu can ride their horses and invade the Central Plains. We can also ride our cavalry north and make it difficult for them to survive! This was called, if the bandits can go, I can also go!”
"Kou can go, but I can also go? Good, good, good!"
When Wang Jian heard this, he exclaimed three times," What a good way to say that I can go too. If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely love you to the extreme!”
"Hehe, who says so?"
Jiang Yue smiled and said," But speaking of which, I don't have the chance to see the emperor now. "The only people I know right now are you and Old Zhao, who are considered to have some status…Master, if you have the chance, you must introduce me to those officials. I have a lot of good ideas that can save Great Qin.”
"Yes…"
When Wang Jian heard that, he smiled faintly, but he was happy in his heart.
You've already met the Emperor, but you don't know it yet.
How could you not have the chance to meet people of status? The two people you know now can be said to be the most powerful people in Great Qin!
One was the Emperor of Great Qin, Ying Zheng, and the other was Marquis Wucheng of Great Qin, Wang Jian.
How many people in Great Qin had a higher status than these two?
