Chapter 67 The three-piece suit is about to be born!

"I was hurt by being beaten by Donghu and Yuezhi, but I forgot about the military power of Qin!" Meng Yi said with a smile on his face.

"Send talismans and send troops!" The First Emperor waved his hand and made the decision.

The laws of the Qin Dynasty strictly stipulate that any military operation involving more than fifty people must have a tiger talisman and the order of the First Emperor before the troops can be mobilized.

Of course, if the Xiongnu goes south, it is not necessary for defensive operations only.

But now, the Huns are heading south in the spring and summer when the cattle and sheep are in estrus, and it is clear that they are in a hurry.

Naturally, what Qin wanted was not just defense, but taking this opportunity to take the initiative to attack, inflict pain on the Xiongnu, and weaken the Xiongnu's strength.

As a result, there is no way to go east, west or south, and the north is desolate. The Xiongnu will be locked in the Yinshan area, and it is only a matter of time before they fall to the Qin Dynasty.

He was given military talismans and began to draft the imperial edict.

It was inevitable that the Xiongnu could not defeat the Qin Dynasty. The old Qin and the Hu people had not lost their traditional skills of fighting on horseback. Qin's cavalry was already one of the best.

It's just that the space for the cavalry to play in the Central Plains Championship is too limited.

The next step is to see how much gains Meng Tian can gain.

Winning is inevitable, winning more or less is a problem. Defeating the Xiongnu is not something to be proud of. In one battle, defeating the Xiongnu to defeat the Qin Dynasty and being used by the Qin Dynasty is the ultimate goal of the First Emperor.

"How is the current construction of Langya Salt Pond going?" the First Emperor asked again.

"A total of hundreds of acres of salt ponds have been opened, and salt is being produced according to Zhao Si's method. The first batch of salt will be produced in about ten days." Meng Yi replied.

The First Emperor nodded, with a smile on his face.

Zhao Si's return did bring a lot of good news, and the salt-drying method was one of the biggest surprises.

The Hu people had little salt, and according to the original plan, after the Huns were locked up, neither the Donghu nor the Yueshi could afford to raise the Xiongnu dogs, but only the Great Qin could.

It's just that although Da Qin's salt production is much more than that of Donghu Yueshi, it actually doesn't have enough for itself. Now that there is a method of drying salt, it can be easily used to raise Xiongnu in captivity to fight for Da Qin's life and death.

The combination of grace and power, annexation and integration, mutual trade, and economic control, Da Qin has already mastered it in the process of rising from a borderland.

You know, Great Qin's ticket to conquer the world was obtained by wiping out countless tribes in Xirong.

Yiqu, who once had a great reputation, now no longer knows what he is like in Xirong.

As long as Meng Tian achieved enough results, Qin could use a hundred ways to use the Xiongnu for its own purposes and seize the opportunity to intervene forcefully in the grassland ecology.

Of course, a large number of civilians were naturally required to collect money and food.

…

And on the other side is Lantian Camp.

In fact, Zhao Si overestimated the production time of the three-piece set.

In other words, it took most of the day... and a three-piece set, including a recliner and a wheelchair, was immediately released.

Horse stirrups and horseshoes are all made of iron.

Well...actually the production capacity of iron in this era is not bad, mainly because the quality really cannot keep up.

There are much more iron ores in the world than copper ores, and iron is not widely used in military weapons and armor equipment. Because it is too brittle, it can only be used to make agricultural tools, so the output has not increased. Except for the private sector, the Qin State has a strong interest in iron.

The demand is still too small.

However, stirrups and horseshoes do not carry the properties of blocking or direct attack. Iron is still metal no matter what.

The saddle is a high-bridge saddle, which is in the shape of a gold ingot with two high ends and a low middle. It is made of wood with leather nailed on top.

"I just tried it. The saddle is designed like this. It's much easier to use than the previous saddles, but I'm still a little uncomfortable with it." Wang Li said excitedly.

"And this stirrup, the same thing! With these two things, I didn't know the meaning of the long-term riding skills."

Zhao Si came over and took over the saddle and stirrups.

It is worth mentioning that this era was not without saddles and stirrups.

It’s just that the saddles of this era had straight ends with leather pads on them, mainly to prevent excessive friction between the rider’s body and the horse’s spine.

The stirrups of this era were single-sided stirrups, which made it easier for riders to mount their horses.

After getting on the horse, your feet cannot fall into the stirrups. The one-sided structure will cause stepping in, which will affect the sense of balance.

In modern times, the stirrups and saddles generally considered to be high-bridge saddles and double-sided stirrups.

This is a normal thing. Before King Wuling of Zhao was riding and shooting in Hufu, it was the traditional service of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States people, and the following was the Air Force.

If you don't have something to support you when riding a horse, it will not only rub your thighs, but also scratch your balls.

Zhao Si re-equipped the saddle, jumped lightly, and got on the horse.

Hmm... This feeling is much more comfortable than riding naked.

Even someone like Zhao Si, who had only played with horses in an equestrian club in his previous life, dared to hold the reins in one hand and stand straight.

"Okay! Where are the horseshoes?" Zhao Si ran around and felt that he had a good experience. He regained the feeling of his previous life, turned over and dismounted and asked.

"It's nailed!" Just as Wang Li opened his mouth to reply, Zhao Si heard the familiar sound of horseshoes tapping the ground.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground is soothing.

"Although these three weapons are simple, they are of great significance. I will send my soldiers to try them out and report back to Your Majesty! If nothing unexpected happens, you will probably be promoted again!" Wang Li patted Zhao Si on the shoulder and selected the soldiers with great interest.

Ready to start testing.

"Call the craftsmen to make hundreds of pairs overnight!" Wang Li gave the order with high spirits.

After all, he comes from a family with military merit, and Wang Li's qualifications are only mediocre compared to the children of the top military nobles. He realized the importance of the three-piece suit immediately after just a few tries.

Horse stirrups, saddles and horseshoes! It will not only improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry by a small amount.

"Good guys, we've started doing data reports." Zhao Si was speechless and did not stop Wang Li.

Whether it's good to just brag about it or not, there needs to be actual data to prove how good it is.

Hundreds of vehicles were tried in batches by the soldiers and a summary was made, which is the most intuitive summary report.

What is reported to the emperor must be explained by actual comparison. It must be clear where it is strong and by how much.

"If the Qin Dynasty had this ingenious tool in the past and unified the world, it would have been a lot less effort." Wang Li said with emotion on his face.

"Nonsense, these things are too simple. You can copy them at a glance. The six countries will only suffer a loss once." Zhao Si objected.

The three-piece horse suit is so simple that there are almost no technical barriers. The production technology of the Six Nations is not as good as that of Daqin, but it is not difficult to imitate the three-piece horse suit.

If the three-piece horse suit appeared during the Warring States Period, I am afraid it would not have accelerated the Qin's unification of the world. On the contrary, as the combat effectiveness of the cavalry increased exponentially, the intensity of the war would probably increase on a large scale.

You must know that the cavalry, which has a three-piece suit of horse and is freed from the shackles of a chariot, is the easiest unit to create miracles.

"No! No!"

Wang Li shook his head.

Cavalry has always been an auxiliary arm during the Warring States Period, and chariots were the mainstream.

Wang Li was keenly aware of the significance of the three-piece suit on horseback, and also realized that the three-piece suit on horseback strengthened the cavalry unit.

With their mobility greatly improved, cavalry can easily create miracles. However... what if Da Qin itself has such a miracle?

That man's accomplishments in the cavalry were something that even his eldest father was amazed at.

(During the Warring States Period, cavalry served as a foil for chariots. On the battlefields of the Central Plains, chariots and infantry were the mainstay, with cavalry as a supplement. When there was no three-piece horse suit, the role of cavalry was very limited. During the Han Dynasty, internal wars turned into external wars.

Chariots were gradually phased out. Cavalry tactics began to flourish. By the late Han Dynasty, when horse stirrups were born, chariots became a part of history. The earliest unearthed bilateral horse stirrups were from the Jin Dynasty. In addition, cavalry was indeed used in foreign wars during the Warring States Period.

This was true for Yan, Zhao, and Qin. But at that time, the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains region was the mainstream war. If the cavalry is good, it is useless. In the Central Plains competition, it should be beaten or beaten.)
