Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 150
"The Great King! The Great King!"

When Qingji rode his red-maned horse back all the way back, all the Wu people present cheered and jumped for joy.

Even Meng Ying, Shen Zhuliang, Zixi and other princes and nobles of Chu State, as well as other soldiers, were all amazed at Qingji's superb force!

It should be noted that taming a wild horse does not depend solely on personal courage, and it is impossible without some skills.

"In the future, you will be named Huolongju."

Qingji patted the red-maned horse's neck, and the latter snorted in response, obviously very satisfied that Qingji had given him a name.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, when cavalry combat was not yet popular, the effect of a bloody horse seemed to be minimal.

However, as a traverser, Qingji, how could he not know the strength of the cavalry?
Not to mention the barbarian tribes that were still in a nomadic state, in the Huaxia kingdoms, chariot warfare was prevalent, and cavalry hadn't even appeared yet, or they were only acting as scouts.

At this time, there were a small number of cavalry in the armies of various countries, mixed with chariot infantry, which was only an insignificant auxiliary force.

In the Warring States Period, with the expansion of the war scale, the diversification of tactics and the need for war with the nomads in the north, the cavalry officially entered the war stage as an independent arm!
Meng Ying stepped forward with a smile and said, "I have long heard that King Wu's bravery is unsurpassed in the world. Seeing him today, his reputation is well-deserved!"

"Such a feat of taming a horse, who in the world can compare with King Wu?"

"The country is too famous."

Qingji smiled slightly and said, "This is such a trivial skill, it's not worth mentioning."

"King Wu, please take your seat."

"Please!"

Qing Ji and Meng Ying returned to Sifang Terrace and took their seats.

At this time, under Meng Ying's greeting, a group of white-faced and beardless servants all bowed their bodies, lowered their eyebrows and brought out one dish after another of delicacies, and placed them on the cases of various officials and officials.

As for Qing Ji, Xiong Zhen, and Meng Ying, the three high-ranking people, to be on the safe side, their meals were taken over by the trusted palace lady before, and then tasted with chopsticks, and only after they were confirmed to be non-toxic, they were served.

There is no way, as people who are responsible for the rise and fall of a country's honor and disgrace, their personal safety is of paramount importance.

And since the incident of Zhuan Zhuan assassinating Wang Liao, the princes of the world have also paid more attention to taking protective measures, so as not to be assassinated and killed by assassins in a careless move.

Qingji picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton from the food tripod, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Before thinking about it, Meng Ying clapped his hands again, and two graceful women suppressed their shyness and sat beside Qingji, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Guo Tai, what is this?"

Qingji was quite puzzled.

Meng Ying smiled lightly and said, "It's the nature of a man to eat sex. King Wu is a hero of the world. The Ai family admires him very much. Now he is a distinguished guest of our state of Chu. How can he be treated slowly?"

Meng Ying's reason was simply impeccable.

She forced Qingji to have two beautiful beauties, but Qingji didn't accept it, it seemed unreasonable.

test me?
Qingji's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately, Qingji bowed to Mengying and said, "Thank you Guotai for your kindness. Food is sex, sex is also! A man is not immune to vulgarity."

"Jianguotai gave me two beautiful concubines to accompany me to drink. I am very grateful."

"However, the widow thinks that being alone is worse than being happy with others!"

"If the second and third sons have beautiful concubines to accompany them, then the widow should follow her. How can I add beauty to the widow?"

Hearing this, Meng Ying was very surprised.

She didn't expect that a womanizer like Qingji could say such high-sounding words!
Alone Better Together?

Also.

As the King of Wu and the ruler of a country, Qing Ji should not flirt with two beautiful concubines in public even if he likes beauty.

Of course the bystanders wouldn't say much, but at least they were criticizing Qingji's behavior in their hearts.

"Wu Wang is really a gentleman."

Meng Ying praised, and immediately waved his hand, ordering the two Huaxin young women to step back.

……

In his spare time, when others were hunting, the bored Qing Ji was busy tinkering with some necessary horse gear.

Stirrups and horseshoes are very simple things, but they are extremely useful for horses.

Stirrups allow the rider to control the horse better, so that he can release his hands and fight on horseback.

Horseshoes can protect the horse's hoof and prolong its life.

These two harnesses can play an epoch-making role in the development of cavalry, but Qingji doesn't intend to invent them now!

Why?

Because there are few horses in China, the country of Wu, which lives in a corner in the southeast, has even fewer horses, or even no horses. In terms of horse breeding, it is far inferior to the northern vassal states and the northern nomadic min tribes.

This led to the fact that once Qingji invented the stirrup and the horseshoe, the northern vassal states rich in horses such as Qin, Jin, Yan, and Qi would benefit in the end.

The southern vassal states such as Wu, Chu, and Yue will be limited to the Jiangnan area in the future, and it will be difficult to make progress in the north and struggle for hegemony in the north!

Qing Ji would not do such stupid things as making wedding dresses for others.

What's more, once stirrups and horseshoes flow into Mobei, if the Hu people are equipped with such horses in large numbers, their combat effectiveness will definitely be improved to a higher level.

At that time, it will be a catastrophe for the countries in the Central Plains that are still prevalent in vehicle warfare and have a flat surface.

Qingji doesn't want to be a sinner through the ages in Chinese history!
Therefore, Qingji was just equipping his fire dragon horse with leather, reins, bridle and saddle.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the saddle was still in its infancy, and horse herders often just put a cloth bag filled with cotton wool on the horse's back and covered it tightly to reduce the pain of the horse's bumps when galloping.

Qingji improved the saddle on the basis of the original.

He first cut and shaped it with wood, then wrapped it with cotton, and then wrapped it with leather, and then fixed it with special bronze nails. A comfortable saddle that tends to be complete is like this.

"King Wu."

Just when Qingji was about to get on the horse and test the actual effect of the saddle, a sweet shout suddenly sounded not far away.

Qingji turned his head to look, and saw that it was Chu State Tai Mengying, surrounded by a group of eunuchs, walking towards him with lotus steps.

"Guotai."

"What is Wu Wang Shicai doing?"

"The widow is making a saddle."

"saddle?"

Meng Ying was very puzzled.

Qingji smiled slightly, patted the saddle on the back of the fire dragon colt, and said, "This is a saddle. When riding a horse, if you wear this saddle, it will reduce the pain of bumps and make it more comfortable."

"It's a novelty. King Wu, can you let Aijia have a try?"

"Guo Tai, please."

Qing Ji didn't mind letting Meng Ying try riding.

Meng Ying was originally the princess of Qin. Qin was in Xichui and lived with Rong and Di. The ancestors of the Ying clan were even raised horses for the son of Zhou for generations, so they often dealt with horses.

Qing Ji was not surprised that Meng Ying knew how to ride a horse.

　Encountered something, I haven't updated for a day, please forgive me.
