Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

…………

That afternoon, Li Yang called He Zhang over.

Unexpectedly, this Fusu didn't know where he heard that Li Yang invited He Zhang, so he also ran to the prime minister's mansion.

In his words, it is estimated that Taifu is going to invent something again!

Ever since they invented papermaking together under Li Yang's guidance, the two of them treated Li Yang like an idol.

And what makes the two even more happy recently is that their deeds of making paper in the past have been compiled into the first-grade Chinese textbook.

This made the two of them very happy. It is said that Fusu was worried that Xiao He and the others would misrepresent the deeds of papermaking, so he summoned Xiao He and told him personally about his amazing deeds of papermaking.

For He Zhang, such a good thing is like smoke rising from the ancestral grave, and his name will be spread all over the world in the future.

Moreover, not only will it be spread all over the world, but it will also be praised by the world, which is even more glorious than being written in history books.

So, this time, I heard that Li Yang had something to do with him, so I hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately.

"Teacher, are you going to invent again?"

Seeing Li Yang, Fusu asked with glowing eyes.

Li Yang rolled his eyes: "Your Highness, why did you come here too, didn't you tell you to study mathematics hard?"

Yes, the reason why Fusu has stopped recently is to study mathematics in the mansion.

As a future monarch, only those Confucian poems and scriptures are feasible. This mathematics must be mastered.

Fusu said: "Taifu don't worry, I will not delay the math homework, I have finished all the test papers you gave."

Li Yang nodded, seeing that the two of them were so interested in inventing things, so he said, "He Zhang, I called you here this time, because there is indeed a new invention, and I want you to do it."

"Really?"

He Zhang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "I wonder what the prime minister wants to invent this time?"

Fusu also listened excitedly.

"Saddles and stirrups!"

Li Yang stretched out two fingers and said.

"A saddle? A stirrup?"

The two frowned and asked curiously, "What is this for?"

Li Yang didn't say much, and directly took the drawings of the saddle and stirrup that had been drawn in advance from the desk, and handed them over to the two of them.Then, he began to explain the use of these two objects to them: "This is a cavalry artifact..."

After Li Yang explained the functions and functions of the saddle and stirrup one by one, both He Zhang and Fu Su blushed with excitement.

Because these two things are actually very simple, and after adding Li Yang's explanation, the two can easily see how important they will be to the cavalry.

Today's cavalry, because they ride on the back of a naked horse, only rely on the reins and their legs to clamp the horse's belly to keep them stable on the horse's back, so they are not only unreliable, but also prone to fatigue, and it is not conducive to using them while running. Bows and arrows, and in close combat, they will fall from their horses at any time.It is precisely because of this that the current cavalry is only used for reconnaissance, outflanking, sneak attack and pursuit, etc., and cannot be used as the main force in combat, let alone undertake the entire campaign independently.

After listening to Li Yang's description of the functions of the saddle and stirrup, it was obvious that these two things would completely change the situation.

With the saddle and stirrups, the cavalry can be effectively stabilized, so that the rider can gallop for hundreds of miles without getting tired, and can shoot arrows while running, so that shooting and chasing cavalry is omnipotent.

Thinking of this, the two of them were stunned.

"An artifact! This... This is another artifact!"

He Zhang yelled excitedly, looked at Li Yang with eyes full of admiration, and said enthusiastically: "Your talent is really shocking, and I am shocked by your extraordinary wisdom. , I can’t live in fear all day long!”

Fu Su nodded quickly: "I am the same!"

Li Yang was speechless to these two sycophants.

However, as a time traveler, Li Yang also understood why He Zhang and the others called these two objects artifacts, because they really deserved the title.

Although they are extremely simple, anyone can make them just by looking at them, but the function of saddles and stirrups is a qualitative leap for cavalry, and it can directly elevate the status of cavalry to the main force on the battlefield.

Historically, Huo Qubing, the Hussar General of the Han Dynasty, rode tens of thousands of horses out of Longxi and Northland for more than [-] li, attacked the Xiongnu, crossed Tuyan, and attacked Qilian Mountains. , until the Xiongnu were beaten to the north of Mount Kent in today's Mongolia, and this victory is due to this thing.

Just imagine, a battle often involves hundreds of miles, or even one or two thousand miles. If there is no saddle and stirrups, the fatigue and physical strength caused by long-term riding will be a fatal problem. It is simply impossible to win large-scale decisive battles such as Hexi and Mobei.Therefore, such a battle is almost inconceivable without saddles and stirrups.

Saddles and stirrups, in the war between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, can be said to have made great contributions!

Now that the Hun Maodun has taken over, it is time for the saddle and stirrup to be released.

Thinking of this, Li Yang said to He Zhang: "These two things should not be difficult for you to become a mansion. But there is one thing that must be remembered. Saddles and stirrups must be kept secret and must not be leaked. First, make a large number of them. , stored in the treasury, so that if there is a war in the future, the cavalry can be quickly equipped."

"Here, don't worry, my lord, this artifact is absolutely strictly confidential." He Zhang nodded and accepted the order.

"Teacher, do you want to fight the Huns?

At this time, Fu Su asked curiously, because he had already heard about what happened in the court today.

Li Yang nodded: "Yes, I will try my best to advise His Majesty that if the Huns are not destroyed, there will be endless troubles."

Fu Su hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say much.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Go and find all the sculptors in Xianyang City. It will be very useful to introduce the truth!" Li Yang confessed.

"Here!"

He Zhang took the order.

Not long after the two left, Uncle Wu walked in: "My lord, the person pretending to be your benefactor has come, I have ordered someone to tie him up, and he is now in the courtyard!"

"Oh? You really dare to come!"

Hearing this, Li Yang couldn't help being taken aback, then immediately got up and walked out: "We need to see the truth, who the hell is this bastard who dares to be so mad!"

Chapter 144

Not long after, Li Yang came to the front yard.

At this moment, a little old man was being caught by the guards of Habayashi of Xiangfu, and he was tied up with a few hemp ropes.

The old man was about sixty years old, dressed in extravagantly gorgeous clothes, but his appearance was a bit wretched, with a white beard, his beard was trembling with anger, and he was cursing at the top of his voice.

"You are so bold, do you know who I am? I... I am your lord's benefactor! Without me, your lord would not be able to be the Prime Minister of China!"

"Damn it! You guys are so bold, you dare to tie up your lord's benefactor!"

"If you have the ability, try to tie another one. Believe it or not, I will ask your lord to come and cut you!"
