"Commander, I'm afraid I have to test a few horses before I can install it on your jade lion!" Although Li Xiuning was a little anxious to install this kind of iron harness on his jade lion, Lu Chen knew that this was just the result of using Fang Qi The big green horse was just a test. Even if the craftsmen are good at craftsmanship, it is the first time to install horseshoes. We still need to test a few more horses to gain experience. Now we will install horseshoes on the jade lion, just in case. If you hurt the Jade Lion, you will have a greater responsibility.
What Lu Chen said was not unreasonable, so Li Xiuning did not force it, but asked the craftsmen to conduct operational experiments as soon as possible. The experimental subjects were naturally the horses of other generals. The second one was Meng Ji, and Meng Ji's mount was a dark horse. , it seemed that he was well fed at first glance, and his fur was like black satin, shining in the sun.
After installing the horseshoes, Meng Ji couldn't wait to pick up his horse and start the wild racing mode. At this time, Fang Qi had already returned on the big green horse. After dismounting, he quickly ran to Lu Chen.
"Commander, this thing is really a divine thing!" As soon as Fang Qi came to Lu Chen, he turned on the flattering mode of flattery. At the same time, he looked at other colleagues with a sullen look on his face, with an expression that clearly said, "Look, Strategist." No matter how much you value me, you can’t.”
"Okay! Tell me how you feel?" Lu Chen looked at Fang Qi's sultry look and asked with a smile. Li Xiuning was also standing beside Lu Chen, but his face was somewhat unhappy, but his expression was not looking at Fang Qi. Qi Qi was angry and seemed to be feeling more unsatisfied, waiting for Fang Qi's report.
"Come back, Commander!" After hearing Lu Chen's words and seeing Li Xiuning's somewhat displeased face, Fang Qi hurriedly raised his hands and said seriously, "This iron harness is really a divine thing. The general is definitely not talking nonsense. Riding on On horseback, stepping on the stirrups does feel like walking on flat ground, and the force is more fully exerted. After the horseshoes are installed on the big green horse, it can run freely. The sharp gravels that used to need to be carefully avoided can now be found after the horseshoes are installed. You can ignore it!"
"Yes!" After hearing Fang Qi's report, Li Xiuning nodded. It was indeed similar to what he had visually inspected. This only increased Li Xiuning's eagerness to install horseshoes on his jade lion.
"He Panren!" Li Xiuning signaled to Fang Qi to retreat. Fang Qi turned around and went to a group of generals to start advocating how good the iron harness was. Li Xiuning directly summoned He Panren.
"The general is here!" Following Li Xiuning's call, He Panren, who had been standing behind Li Xiuning, turned around.
"This thing must not be spread out. These craftsmen involved in the production must be strictly controlled!" Li Xiuning warned He Panren with a serious face.
"General, take the order!" He Panren took the order and turned around to arrange the manpower.
"Commander, don't be so nervous, right? Isn't this just a harness?" Lu Chen was a little confused by Li Xiuning's arrangement. What impact could an iron harness have? Sooner or later, the whole world would have to use this thing. Although horseshoes appeared in the Central Plains, It was the Southern Song Dynasty. I just advanced this thing by a few hundred years, so I wouldn't make such a fuss.
"Strategist, you don't know the impact of this thing on the war!" Li Xiuning looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile. It seemed that even the strategist himself couldn't understand it sometimes. Li Xiuning smiled a little proudly.
Although Li Xiuning only mentioned this sentence, Lu Chen instantly understood why Li Xiuning attached so much importance to iron harness. This epoch-making thing has a huge impact on the strategic significance of this cold weapon era, because after the emergence of this thing, the cavalry no longer has to be alone. Two cavalry or one person and three cavalry, except for long-distance raids with horses, and the requirements for road conditions will be greatly reduced. This is equivalent to the original cavalry regiment, which can directly recruit two or three cavalry. The cavalry regiment.
Because Lu Chen was still immersed in the thinking of later generations before, when he shifted to this era, he immediately understood the key.
"I understand!" Before Li Xiuning could speak again, Lu Chen said directly, "But shouldn't this matter be reported to the court?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiuning with some confusion. It was obvious that this girl did not want to tell this matter. Li Yuan.
"Report to the imperial court? Huh!" Li Xiuning snorted coldly after hearing Lu Chen's words. "If you report to the imperial court, wouldn't the family members know about it? Then I'm afraid..." Li Xiuning stopped talking.
And Lu Chen naturally understood the meaning of Li Xiuning's words. As long as the aristocratic families know these things, they will be available all over the world. It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, as long as they don't harm their interests. This is the view of the family members.
"But, Marshal, Liu Laosan just told me that there is not enough iron material in the army. What's more, I think that using ropes to tie stirrups is not an option. We still need to match them!" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiuning and directly changed the subject. Transferred to iron material.
"I will handle the matter of iron materials, but what does the military advisor mean by the supporting equipment?" Li Xiuning didn't know what Lu Chen was going to do, but an iron harness was already an eye-opener for Li Xiuning. He didn't expect Lu Chen to do it. Chen continued to make new gadgets, and he really found a treasure. Li Xiuning looked at Lu Chen's handsome face and felt secretly proud.
"Oh! I've also designed a strap that matches the stirrups!" Lu Chen said with a smile, "It's actually a very simple thing, but it requires experimentation!"
"In this military camp, as long as there are military advisors who need it, you can allocate it yourself!" Li Xiuning directly delegated power to Lu Chen in one sentence, which means that in my military camp, you can do whatever you want.
"It doesn't take too many people, just one Liu Laosan. If the test is successful, we can promote it, just like this iron harness!" Lu Chen said with a smile. Regarding Li Xiuning's trust, Lu Chen Still quite touching.
"Liu Laosan!" Lu Chen greeted Liu Laosan who was learning to nail horseshoes with the craftsman.
"Hey! Sir!" Hearing Lu Chen's call, Liu Laosan ran over in a hurry.
"Take me to your blacksmith's furnace and help me build something!" Lu Chen said, looking at Liu Laosan.
"Ouch! You don't want to tread on lowly soil. My blacksmith's shack is dirty and messy. Don't dirty your clothes. What do you want to do? Just tell the younger one!" When Liu Laosan heard this, Lu Chen Going to the blacksmith's furnace, he quickly said in panic.
"What noble and humble thing, I won't watch you fight, do you know what to do?" Lu Chen glanced at Liu Laosan directly, saying that people are old and smart, and Liu Laosan is also an old fool.
