Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Duan Lun came panting with the saddle he had just made. He first ran from the Ministry of Works to the training ground and found that Li Shimin and others were not there.

"Your Majesty, the saddle has been made according to the drawing. The design of these five parts is really wonderful!"

He came to Li Shimin and others and held the saddle in his arms and marveled at it.

When he made it, he put it on the horse's back to test the size several times. He has not yet tried the specific effect of the saddle.

"Okay, my dear, you install the saddle first, and we will discuss the others after trying it!"

Li Shimin couldn't wait to know the effect of the saddle.

"I obey your order!"

While installing the saddle on the horse, Duan Lun also introduced the name and function of each part to everyone.

"According to Lord Su's drawing, this is the saddle surface, which is made of high-quality cowhide, which is tough and wear-resistant.

This protruding part is called the saddle bridge, which is used to support the saddle surface. The combination of the two can disperse the weight of people and make soldiers and horses more comfortable.

Each component is so exquisitely designed. This belt is called the saddle belt, which is used to fix the saddle and make it more stable.

This pair of iron rings is called stirrups, which is convenient for getting on the horse and giving soldiers a foothold, so that they can kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Finally, this is a saddle bag for storage, which is convenient for water bags."

Duan Lun installed the saddle and finished the explanation.

"Hahaha! It is indeed a treasure for cavalry, very good!"

After listening to Duan Lun's introduction, Li Shimin thought of the scene when he was fighting with people on the battlefield, and it was easy to understand the magic of this saddle.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go back to the training ground to try it out? I, Cheng Yaojin, want to fight Lao Hei for 300 rounds!"

Cheng Yaojin excitedly proposed to Li Shimin.

The meaning is very clear. Cheng Yaojin is equipped with horseshoes and saddles to fight with Yuchi Laohei who is out.

Yuchi Laohei said nothing. He didn't believe that His Majesty would let him suffer such a loss and compete with Cheng Yaojin.

He had saved His Majesty's life several times before!

"Okay, what Zhijie said is exactly what I want! Keming quickly prepares, and the weapons can be replaced by sticks."

Li Shimin waved his hand and led everyone back to the training ground.

After a cup of tea, Du Ruhui personally led a tall brown warhorse.

It was much larger than Cheng Yaojin's reddish-brown warhorse.

Cheng Yaojin didn't care about the height of the horse. He came to the weapon rack to get a wooden stick and threw one to Yuchi Laohei.

Yuchi Laohei had a dark face, glared at Cheng Yaojin, and reluctantly took the stick.

"Hehe, Laohei, quickly mount your horse and fight me, Old Cheng, for three hundred rounds."

Cheng Yaojin was about to climb on his horse like he used to, regardless of whether Yuchi Laohei was willing or not.

Suddenly, he remembered that he should be more polite now that he had stirrups.

"Hehe!"

Cheng Yaojin stepped on the stirrups, held the saddle with one hand, and pushed his foot hard, and easily mounted the horse in one go!

"Laohei, what are you still hesitating about? Come and die!"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Yuchi Laohei, who was still standing there, angrily looking at him and cursing.

Yuchi Laohei turned his head and glanced at Li Shimin, his eyes somewhat resentful.

"Jingde, go quickly, don't take it seriously, this is just to try the effect of the saddle!"

Li Shimin comforted Yuchi Laohei, he didn't know that he had hurt Laohei's heart.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Laohei rode their horses on both sides of the parade ground.

"Hey, hoo!"

"Yuchi Laohei, I, Old Cheng, am here, look at the gun!"

Cheng Yaojin led the vanguard to charge at Yuchi Laohei. Since Laohei on the other side had already mounted his horse, he would not surrender directly.

He also drove his horse towards Cheng Yaojin and swung his stick.

"Hurry!"

"Old Cheng, your grandfather Hei is here too, give me your life! Hurry!"

Both of them came to each other and reached the attack range of the stick.

After a few moves, the two of them tacitly stopped playing those fancy moves and just compared the strength of using the stick on horseback.

As expected, Yuchi Laohei was almost knocked off his horse by Cheng Yaojin, along with the stick.

On flat ground, their kung fu strength was about the same, and now with the advantage of the saddle, Cheng Yaojin would definitely beat Yuchi Laohei.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Hei fled on his horse. Cheng Yaojin chased after him and shouted:

"Yuchi Lao Hei, where are you running!"

Cheng Yaojin did not chase Lao Hei, but drove his horse to Li Shimin and others.

"Hehe, your majesty, if you have a saddle when facing the enemy on horseback, it will be like a god's help!"

After getting off the horse, Cheng Yaojiao pulled the saddle twice and turned to Li Shimin.

After hearing this, Li Shimin laughed heartily.

"Hahaha! That's great!

Lord Duan, take this saddle down quickly. If there is no war, don't show it to others easily. Let the trusted people in the Ministry of Works make it secretly, waiting for the war to come and win by surprise."

Then he thought about it, can the horseshoe be nailed on? The iron sheet is under the horse's hoof.It is not easy to be discovered.

"My dear ministers, if horseshoes are equipped on a large scale in the army now, is there anything wrong?"

Everyone was thinking about what might happen if horseshoes were installed now or not.

"Your Majesty, I think these horseshoes can be equipped on the war horses in the army today."

Fang Xuanling pretended to pause and looked at everyone with a confident expression.

Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling, waiting for his next words.

"Xuanling, tell me the reason." Li Shimin also knew that he had something to say.

Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are three reasons: if there is no war or other military affairs, the war horses do not need to leave the camp, so there is no need to worry about being stolen.

Second, the horseshoe is nailed under the horse's hoof, and it is not easy to be discovered if it is not intentional.

Third, although there is no war, the daily training in the army will also wear out the horse's hoof without horseshoes.

Therefore, I think it is best to install the horseshoe immediately."

After listening, Li Shimin did not express his opinion, but looked at other ministers: "My dear ministers, is what Xuanling said feasible?"

"Your Majesty, what Xuanling said makes sense. Daily training in the army does damage the horse's hoof."

After the Minister of War Du Ruhui expressed his opinion, the others also agreed.

Li Shimin nodded, "Okay, if that's the case, then we will follow your advice and equip the war horses with horseshoes from now on.

Lord Duan, you must do this well and choose someone you trust to keep it secret."

"I obey your order!" Duan Lun respectfully accepted the order and then turned and left with the saddle.

"Lords, it's getting late, let's stop for today!" Li Shimin turned and left the training ground.

"Farewell, Your Majesty!"

After the ministers bowed, they left one after another.

...

In the imperial study.

Only Wang Defa was guarding the door of the study, and the entire Taiji Hall was empty.

Li Shimin looked at Wang Defa outside the imperial study with a deep gaze, and his fingers tapped the armrests of the chair rhythmically.

I don't know how much time has passed, "Tell me!"

Strangely, Wang Defa didn't seem to hear Li Shimin talking, didn't look at Li Shimin, and didn't answer.

Suddenly, the sound of another person talking came from the imperial study, but no one was found.

"Lord Su took His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and sat down at the pavilion, and asked His Royal Highness some irrelevant things."

Li Shimin's face did not change, "What did he ask?"

"Lord Su asked His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin whether he would enroll, whether he could write, and whether he was willing to enroll."

Li Shimin just wanted to hear what Su Chen said, and he didn't care what Li Zhi answered.

Wuying continued: "Then Lord Su said a few more words, as if he was telling His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin something.

But Wuying didn't hear it clearly, only heard a name: Yang Yuhuan."

Li Shimin frowned slightly when he heard it.

"Do you know what weapons the Cheng family kid used to subdue the Qingyun Mountain bandits?"

"Wuying explored the entire manor and the thatched house where Lord Su once lived, but didn't find anything."

If Su Chen heard what Wuying said, he would be a little surprised.

Someone was eavesdropping on him and Li Zhi behind the rockery next to the pavilion?

Li Shimin nodded and did not ask any more questions.

The imperial study was silent.

After a Rakshasa, Li Shimin got up and left the imperial study.

Headed to the palace where the retired emperor Li Yuan was.

Taiji Palace.
