In fact, saddles, stirrups and horseshoes are all very simple things. The reason why Hu Hai wanted to find a skilled craftsman to make them was because he was worried that the ghostly drawings he drew were incomprehensible to ordinary people, and the things he made would be specious.
"Don't ask me what this thing is used for. You will know after it is made. It's just whether you can make it." Hu Hai asked.
"Although I don't know who drew this picture, it's extremely crude, but I think I can still make it according to the picture. But it's best to have someone who drew the picture to give guidance, so that I can completely create your majesty.
What you want." Lihe rolled up the white cloth and said affirmatively.
When Hu Hai heard Lihe say that the painting was extremely crude, even though he was as thick-skinned as a city wall, he couldn't help but blush a little, and said in embarrassment: "I will tell you what this thing is going to look like, so you don't have to worry."
Zhang Han and others who originally saw this picture were still despising who had drawn such a poor sketch. But now after hearing Hu Hai's words, they immediately realized that this picture was originally drawn by His Majesty the Emperor.
Suddenly everyone couldn't help but sneered, despising Your Majesty, what a sin!
"Ah? This picture turned out to be painted by your majesty. Such a miraculous work, your majesty is really a great talent." Li He was obviously deliberately trying to hurt Hu Hai. At this moment, he opened his eyes wide and looked innocent as if he suddenly realized something.
When Hu Hai heard his words, "Your Majesty is truly a great talent," his head suddenly filled with black lines, "Have you ever done this to harm me, the emperor?" Looking at Li He with an innocent expression on his face, Hu Hai felt itchy with hatred. I can't.
Arguing with a dead old man.
"Your Majesty, I have already brought your Majesty's royal horse."
At this time, Long Huang came in to report, which made Hu Hai feel relieved. He had never found that Long Huang looked so pleasing to the eye, so he smiled at Long Huang very brightly. But Long Huang was confused by Hu Hai's smile and felt worried.
"Longhuang, take a few people with you to use ink to rub the horse's hoofprints. I'll be useful." Hu Hai said with a smile.
"Here!"
After a while, Long Huang brought a piece of white cloth with the horse's hoof prints stamped on it and handed it to Hu Hai.
"Li Lao, come and take a look at these hoof prints, and you will know what I want you to create." Hu Hai pointed at the hoof prints and said to Li He.
Hu Hai shouted "Clutch" from Li Lao with great joy. He quickly came over and looked at the black hoof prints on the white cloth. Then he looked at the sketch drawn by Hu Hai on the white cloth in his hand. He suddenly turned around and bowed to Hu Hai.
,
"Your Majesty is really a great talent! I know what this thing is used for."
What a great talent. You said you were addicted, right? Hu Hai said with a dark face, "Oh? Li Lao, do you know what this thing is used for?"
"Your Majesty must want to create an iron shoe that can be worn on the horse's hooves, so that the horse can wear shoes like us humans, so the horse can run on any road without worrying about breaking its legs." Lihe didn't notice Hu Hai's black hair at all.
Face, said proudly.
Zhang Han and Ying Yi, who were standing next to them, heard about the painting of Shuhe, and their eyes suddenly lit up. Unlike these craftsmen, the first thing they thought of was the military role of such a thing.
Before horseshoes appeared, the cavalry of any country would be worried that the horses would step on stones or other hard objects while running and crack the hoofs, causing the horses' legs to break. This also greatly reduced the frequency of use of the cavalry, causing the cavalry to be in trouble after its establishment.
Initially it can only be used as an auxiliary unit.
If it is true as Lihe said that what your Majesty wants to build is to put shoes on horse hooves, then the cavalry of Great Qin will not have to worry about any road conditions and terrain in the future, and can fight wherever they like, wherever suitable for cavalry operations, without worrying about
A war horse's hoof is cracked and its leg is broken.
In this way, cavalry will definitely become the main combat unit in the future, instead of having to cooperate with infantry as it does now. And Da Qin has a large number of excellent war horses, and the Qin people themselves are good at riding and shooting.
Thinking of this, Zhang Han and Ying Yi couldn't help but look at each other. Seeing the excitement and fire in each other's eyes, they immediately knew that the other party must have thought of the function of this thing, and they couldn't help but quickly raised their ears to listen to what Hu Hai and Lihe were talking about.
"But your majesty, if I'm honest, if such a sharp nail is driven into this horse's hoof, will it be completely destroyed?" Lihe wondered when he saw the nails.
"You don't have to worry about this old man. As long as the nails are not too long, they will not hurt the horse's hoof." Hu Hai was confident. The old man really knew what this thing was used for.
The horse's hoof is made of two layers. The layer that is in contact with the ground is a layer of hard cutin about two to three centimeters thick, and the upper layer is ** cutin. When nailing the horseshoe to the horse's hoof, as long as the nail does not pass through
Long, it will not hurt the horse's hoof at all, and the horse will not feel pain.
Hu Hai is still very clear about this, because in his previous life, his family came from a rural area, and cow paws also had to be nailed with iron paws, and cow hooves and horse hooves were basically the same.
Of course, Hu Hai couldn't tell them these things, otherwise it would be troublesome to explain them.
"Your Majesty, if your Majesty says so, then the villain won't worry anymore. Huh?" Li He took the picture drawn by Hu Hai and looked at it for a while, then looked at the horses being led by the Imperial Guards outside the door and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this is
Could it be that objects are also used to match horses?"
Hu Hai smiled and nodded and said: "Li Lao is really amazing, I thought of it so quickly." Then Hu Hai changed the subject, "Win one, everyone present today is ordered to be registered by Long Wei. What happened today must not be leaked. Anyone who violates it will be killed."
No mercy!"
"Here!" Ying Yi responded with a shiver in his heart.
"Li Lao, these two things will be used exclusively for our Great Qin Cavalry. Those things can be regarded as two things. I call them saddles and stirrups respectively. The saddle allows our Great Qin Cavalry to better serve in the cavalry.
Fight on horseback without having to worry about being thrown off the horse at any time;
As for the stirrups, our soldiers of the Qin Dynasty can better fight with the horses without having to worry about their feet hanging in the air and having nowhere to use their strength. As for the iron ring, I call it a horseshoe or a horseshoe. I guess the function of this thing does not need to be explained by me.
, Li Lao and all of you dear friends also understand."
Hu Hai told Wan Yingyi to explain the functions of these three things in one breath.
Zhang Han and Ying Yi could no longer maintain their composure at this moment. They knew better than anyone else that if the three things Hu Hai mentioned were forged and equipped with the cavalry of Great Qin, then their significance to Great Qin would be no less than that of Hu Hai being awakened by the First Emperor.
At this moment, the two of them no longer dared to look down upon the poor sketch drawn by Hu Hai. Their eyes were staring at the sketch still in Clutch's hand, their eyes were shining with green light, and they almost wanted to swallow the drawing directly.
After hearing Hu Hai's explanation, Lihe looked at the bare horse's back, then looked at the drawing in his hand, bowed deeply to Hu Hai and said: "Your Majesty's fantastic ideas are like those of a god. Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhang Han, Ying Yi and others shouted at the same time as Hu Hai bowed to the ground.
"Everyone, I love you, please be safe. If that's the case, then let's start casting."
"The villain obeys the order!"
