Chapter 48: Such a small device, but its function is amazing
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Come here, prepare three boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and valuable antiques for me. I am going to Tiandao Tower!"
You must bring enough money to see your husband.
Because Ying Zheng often went to Tiandao Tower, the emperor's personal treasury was already very empty.
"No!" A eunuch took the order and left.
Soon three boxes of treasures and antiques were ready. Ying Zheng said: "Wuchenghou, come with me to Tiandao Tower!"
"No!" Wang Jian cupped his fists and saluted.
A small spark of hope lit up in his heart.
Maybe sir really has a way.
…
Tiandao Tower.
Chen Qilin was leaning on the sofa, drinking coffee and watching Teacher Hado's new show with great interest. He felt very comfortable.
The big black dog, as strong as a bodybuilder, squatted next to its owner. A pair of dark dog eyes stared at the new dog in the owner's hand without blinking, and he was drooling.
boom!
When Chen Qilin saw Xiao Hei's behavior, he put down his coffee and hit it on the head:
"Get out of here, it's not suitable for young dogs!"
The big black dog had no choice but to look at its owner with a resentful look, and squatted to the side with aggrieved steps.
The little eyes of the big black dog seemed to say:
"Master, I am an adult dog and I am a veteran driver!"
At this moment, Wang Ying was doing housework in the backyard.
Chen Qilin finished reading today's new episode, stood up, put it away, and stretched.
【Ding! Ying Zheng and Wang Jian came to Tiandao Tower! 】
When Chen Qilin heard what the system said, a smile appeared on his lips and he said to himself: "The God of Wealth is here again!"
Soon, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian came to the living room.
Chen Qilin greeted with a smile: "Welcome, Your Majesty, Marquis Wu Cheng, please take a seat!"
At the same time, information about the two people appeared in front of his eyes.
Ying Zheng sat on the leather sofa, which was still as comfortable as ever.
Seeing Wang Jian still standing there, he said: "Wuchenghou, sit down!"
"Your Majesty, that old minister is not lucky enough to sit on this sofa!" Wang Jian still resisted.
Ying Zheng said with a straight face: "I tell you to sit down, so you sit down! Your presence there makes people uncomfortable and an eyesore!"
"Hey, old minister, sit down!"
Wang Jian said, and sat down with his big buttocks. The sofa was soft and bouncy, and the tight wrapping felt so good. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, raise the corners of his mouth, and raise his beard.
Chen Qilin said: "Yinger, please have two cups of coffee!"
"Yes, sir!" A beautiful girl's voice came from the backyard.
Wang Ying, who was quick with her hands and feet, quickly brought the coffee.
After Wang Jian took the coffee, he took a sip and said to his granddaughter:
"Ying'er, you must serve your husband well, listen to your words, and meet all your requirements!
You can't talk back, let alone disobey Mr.
Sir, let you go west, never east!
Sir, let you lie down, you must not stand up..."
Wang Ying blushed and nodded.
Grandpa hinted in this way and that, which made her feel embarrassed.
Ying Zheng couldn't bear to see the old fox like Wang Jian desperately trying to bring his granddaughter and husband together.
Old man, do you still have me in your eyes?
Are you too shameless?
I met him first, and I fell in love with him first for my princess!
Ahem!
However, before Ying Zheng could speak, Chen Qilin coughed twice and interrupted Wang Jian, knowingly asking: "I wonder what the purpose of your Majesty and Marquis Wu Cheng coming to my Tiandao Building today is?"
The man is capable and handsome, but he is troubled!
The tree wants to be quiet, but these evil winds keep blowing!
After Wang Ying bowed to His Majesty, her grandfather and her husband, she quickly fled the living room and returned to the backyard to water the flowers and plants.
Wang Jian said nothing, and His Majesty pretended not to notice, and continued to smile.
Wang Jian's old saying "As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed" to the fullest!
Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Jian and said, "Yes, let's talk about business, let's talk about business!"
"Your Majesty, please tell me!" Chen Qilin smiled.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and said, "Wu Chenghou, you are very eloquent and can speak well. Please tell me the difficulties you encountered in detail!"
Let this old fritter waste his time!
"No!" Wang Jian obeyed, and then told Chen Qilin in detail about the difficulties that might be encountered in destroying the Xiongnu in the north, that is, the lack of horses.
After Wang Jian finished speaking, Ying Zheng said:
"Sir, do you have any idea?"
Chen Qilin immediately thought of two things in his mind:
Stirrups and horseshoes (horseshoes).
The Qin Dynasty already had simple saddles, but no stirrups and horseshoes.
If the Qin cavalry were equipped with these two items, their combat effectiveness would be doubled.
Although these two great inventions, the stirrup and the horse's iron shoe, were small, they profoundly changed ancient warfare.
Without stirrups, the heavy cavalry sweeping across the battlefield would become a display; without horseshoes, Genghis Khan's whip could not swing across the Ural Mountains!
It's so small, but its performance is incredible.
Before the invention of the stirrup, the cavalry mainly relied on archery to kill the enemy, and relied on their legs to clamp the horse's belly to maintain balance.
It would be impossible for a heavy cavalry to charge without stirrups. The strong reaction force caused by hitting the target would instantly knock the cavalry off their horses and cause them to be trampled to death by the war horses!
After the invention of the stirrup, the upper body of the cavalry was fully liberated, and the reaction force caused by the charge could be offset by the stirrup, and the stirrup was closely integrated with the horse, becoming one.
Only in this way can an overwhelming heavy cavalry charge be achieved and sweep everything away.
It is no lie to say that stirrups made the heavy cavalry glorious!
…
The horseshoe that people often refer to refers to the stratum corneum on the sole of the horse's foot, which is similar to the nails on the hands of people. There are no nerves on it, and the horse will not feel pain when the horseshoe is nailed on the horse's hoof.
Before the invention of horseshoes, horseshoes were the key factor limiting the combat radius of cavalry.
If a horse gallops for a long time and a long distance, the horseshoe will easily crack or even fall off, and a horse will basically be useless.
After the invention of horseshoes, cavalrymen no longer have to worry about their beloved horses becoming lame due to the fall of their hooves.
The cavalry can charge boldly and confidently.
It was also the invention of horseshoes that enabled the Mongolian cavalry to cross the Helan Mountains, reach the Danube River, sweep across Europe and Asia, and create the glorious miracle of the Whip of God!
Although Chen Qilin knew that horseshoes and stirrups could allow the Qin cavalry to increase their combat effectiveness and combat radius without changing the number of people and horses, he did not know the specific design drawings of stirrups and horseshoes.
"System, how to solve the difficulties encountered by Ying Zheng in destroying the Huns?" Chen Qilin asked.
He wanted to see if the system's answer was the same as his.
[Ding! The system mall has updated new products. The host can spend 10 days of Dao points to purchase stirrups, horseshoes and Takahashi saddle design materials. With these three items, the combat power of the Qin cavalry can be doubled, and the quality can be improved to make up for the problem of insufficient quantity! ]
After hearing what the system said, Chen Qilin secretly called up the system mall panel, and found that the above three items were refreshed.
"Sir..." Ying Zheng saw that the gentleman was in a daze, so he urged.
Chen Qilin came back to his senses and said confidently: "Your Majesty, there is a way..."
Ying Zheng's face was full of smiles. It's good to have a way to solve it!
Then he smiled and said: "Come on, move all the gold, silver, jewelry and antiques in!"
