My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1051: You can win, lose, and waste! Technology that is beneficial to politics is good technology!
Cao Shen and others who passed the imperial examination were ultimately unable to wait for an audience with Emperor Ying Zheng because the negotiations between the Qin monarch and his ministers were delayed.

From noon to sunset, and then to the rising sun, the group of ministers finally hurriedly left the imperial study, waving their sleeves without taking away a cloud, leaving only long hair all over the ground.

Ying Zheng dismissed the ministers and eunuchs, forced himself to stand up despite his exhaustion, took out a jar of treasured wine from the cabinet beside the imperial study, threw it to Ying Chengjiao, and gently reminded him: "Although this battle is a battle that cannot be lost, it does not mean that we must win."

"Even if the front line of this battle is not favorable, as long as we can avoid a major defeat, after our Great Qin has rested for a few years, we will be able to fight again."

"Don't force yourself, my brother."

"My Great Qin can afford to win, to lose, and to waste time!"

Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao were the only ones left in the imperial study, so Ying Zheng told Ying Chengjiao what was in his heart.

Although this war was aimed at unifying the world, the reason why it broke out recently was entirely because the Dai Kingdom had raised its fist and the Qin Dynasty had to fight back, not because the time was ripe or that Ying Zheng could not wait.

In Ying Zheng's view, it would not matter if the world was unified a few years later, but Ying Chengjiao must not fail!
Ying Chengjiao took the jar of wine casually, but held it in his arms without breaking the seal. He smiled and said, "If the situation on the front line is not favorable, I will put my own safety first."

"Don't worry, brother."

"But now is not the time to relax."

"I have something else to say, and it can only be discussed with you, brother. And it must be decided by you, brother."

Ying Zheng put the wine jar on the ground and said seriously: "Brother, please listen!"

Ying Chengjiao shook his head and said, "It may not be possible to describe it clearly with words alone."

"I need a very safe and spacious place to demonstrate for you, big brother."

"So, elder brother, you will understand!"

Ying Zheng said without hesitation: "Brother, you choose the location, and I choose the people."

Ten hours of intensive thinking made Ying Zheng extremely tired, but he still forced himself to find an open space in the core area of ​​Wangyuan.

Ying Chengjiao immediately ordered the guards to form a large net eight miles away, and the eunuchs, castrators, ministers and Ying Chengjiao's family soldiers formed a loose human wall five miles away, supervising each other while keeping an eye on the guards from a distance.

In the core area of ​​the defense circle, Bafu brought a horse, and Guafu brought a wooden box.

Ying Zheng did not look at the horse. His eyes immediately fell on the wooden box: "What's hidden in the box is the thing that caused my brother to go to war?"

Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly, took the wooden box and said, "Bafu, Guafu, you two will supervise the battle four miles away on the east and west sides."

"Anyone who turns around and looks back without orders will be killed immediately!"

If Ying Zheng does not think that the things in the box can be taken out and shown to others, then Ba Fu and Gua Fu are not allowed to see the objects in the box.

Sending away Bafu and Guafu is both to keep the secret of Bafu and Guafu and to protect them.

Knowing too much is not a good thing!

Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Chengjiao and nodded, "Yes!"

The Eighth and Guafu immediately bowed and said, "Yes!"

When Bafu and Guafu walked away, Ying Zheng agreed with them and said with a smile: "If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his body; if a few things are not discreet, they will become harmful."

"What my brother has suggested is very good!"

"Even when I was developing the golden juice to cure manure and the flying stone cart, I have never seen my brother be so cautious."

"Brother, I think that the prince will give you a huge surprise!"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "It's a huge surprise."

“It could also be a huge shock.”

As he spoke, Ying Chengjiao took out a key from his waist, opened the padlock, and opened the wooden box.

Ying Zheng leaned over to take a look out of curiosity, and saw that the box contained a rather large leather object and several copper and iron objects, which looked plain and unpretentious without any sharp aura.

If Ying Chengjiao had not made such a fuss, Ying Zheng would have thought these items were a pile of trash even if he saw them on the roadside, and would not have thought that they could be treasures!

Ying Zheng asked curiously: "What is this?"

Ying Chengjiao took out a piece of iron from the box and said, "This is called a horseshoe."

Ying Zheng chewed on the three words "horseshoe" and spoke slowly: "Brother, you have heard of horseshoe gold, but never heard of horseshoe."

"Could it be that this thing is not named because it looks like a horse hoof, but because it is used on horse hooves?"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "Brother, you are wise!"

As he spoke, Ying Chengjiao directly lifted up the horse's hind legs.

"Xu?"

Horse:!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

Do you know how much force I put into this kick? !

Dare you hold me back?
I'm gonna kick you!

"Behave yourself, or Ben won't mind changing horses."

Ying Chengjiao glanced at the horse and punched its butt.

"Uh-huh!!!"

The horse staggered and nearly fell to the ground due to the huge force, but the murderous aura emanating from its side frightened it so much that it dared not fall down and raised its hind legs obediently. Ying Zheng looked at the glittering metallic luster on the horse's hooves and was surprised: "This thing is supposed to be clamped on the horse's hooves?!"

"In this case, how can the warhorse run?!"

Ying Chengjiao explained earnestly: "The horseshoe is not hooped on the horse's hoof, but nailed on the horse's hoof claw with an iron nail, not penetrating the hoof flesh. For the horse, it feels like a woman painting gold and silver on her claw (nail)."

"A horseshoe is not a burden or a punishment for a horse, but a pair of shoes."

"People can run better when they wear shoes, so why should horses running be hindered when they wear shoes?"

Ying Zheng's pupils narrowed suddenly, and he immediately pulled up the horse's other hind leg.

Horse: Huh? ! !

Too much! Too much!

How can I stand with both hind legs lifted up? This is too much bullying!

“Don’t move!” Ying Zheng shouted coldly. The horse was so frightened that it dared not neigh anymore. It could only use its two front legs to tremble and maintain its balance pitifully.

Ying Zheng didn't care about the horse's feelings at all. He personally stroked the horseshoe carefully, then pulled the hoof and pressed it to the ground. Looking at the junction of the hoof and the ground, he asked eagerly: "After the horse put on the horseshoe, did it touch the ground with the horseshoe instead of the hoof?!"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and nodded: "Brother, you have a keen eye!"

After receiving the affirmation, Ying Zheng's breathing became more rapid: "If a person runs too much without shoes, his feet will be torn. If a horse runs too much without shoes, not only will his feet be torn, but his claws will also be easily torn."

"Now, when a horse gets a horseshoe, isn't it like when a man gets a shoe? He can run for a long time without his feet getting broken or his claws getting cracked?!"

"If a person's foot is injured, they can rest and recover, but it is impossible for a horse to remain still. Instead, the more pain it suffers, the more it walks, until it walks itself to death."

"If you can relieve the pain of broken feet and cracked claws, then our Qin horses will be able to fight for a long time!"

Cats, dogs, and even cheetahs and elephants can all recover relatively easily through rest, amputation, or installation of prosthetic legs after their feet, legs, broken nails, or split nails.

But the horse can't do that.

Because horses are not hunters, they are born prey, and running is their instinct to avoid danger!
The more dangerous, painful, and uneasy the situation is, the more a horse wants to run to gain a sense of security. The word "rest" does not even exist in a horse's mind, and its status as a prey also means that it is not qualified to rest.

Moreover, the horse's body structure also means that it cannot lie on its side, lie down, or stay still for a long time, otherwise it will die faster!

Therefore, minor injuries such as torn paws and split nails, which can heal on their own by resting for a period of time for humans, are terminal illnesses that are impossible to cure for horses.

If the problem of easily broken horseshoes could be solved, I wonder how many war horses of the Qin Dynasty would survive every year and continue to fight for the Qin Dynasty!

Ying Chengjiao added: “It’s more than that.”

"The horseshoe can also be patterned as needed to cope with different road conditions."

"This time, the weather is freezing cold, and our army will probably have to march across the snow and ice."

"I want to have the craftsmen cast a batch of horseshoes with shallow nails on the bottom, which can be nailed on the horseshoes when crossing ice and snow. This way, the horses will be more stable and less likely to fall."

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly: "Good! Very good!"

"This thing is truly a treasure!"

"I never thought that my brother, besides managing the imperial examinations, could also develop such a treasure!"

Ying Chengjiao shook his head and said, "This thing was not developed by me recently, but was made by me personally several years ago."

"It's just that I hid this item in my house because I was concerned about the situation in the world. Even mother doesn't know about its existence."

Ying Zheng immediately understood what Ying Chengjiao was thinking, and looked at him with satisfaction, saying, "It's hard for my brother to have kept this secret for so many years after creating such a treasure."

"In the past, when heroes were vying for supremacy, this thing should not have appeared in the world."

"However, now that our Great Qin has gained great power, there is no need for you to hide this thing anymore."

"Brother, I think there is no need to call all the ministers to discuss this matter. You can directly hand this item over to the Ministry of Works to make it as much as possible to help your brother go on the expedition to defeat the enemy!"

The technical content of the horseshoe was very low, and all it lacked was a flash of inspiration. Ying Chengjiao had just learned to speak and was able to command the eunuchs to make horseshoes.

But only a fool would take out the horseshoes so early!

Ying Chengjiao's identity determines that the technology he uses needs to serve politics. Only technology that is beneficial to Ying Chengjiao's political demands is good technology!
When the seven major powers were still alive, Daqin's light and heavy industries were not ranked among the best in the world, and war horses were Daqin's most important export commodity.

If the Qin Dynasty took out horseshoes while Han, Wei, Chu, Qi and other countries were still in existence, other countries would definitely imitate them immediately, and their war horse consumption would plummet. Instead, the Qin Dynasty would not benefit from the horseshoes. On the contrary, the decrease in demand for war horses from other countries would lead to a decline in exports and foreign exchange earnings!
Only now, when the Qin Dynasty has gained a huge advantage and cannot make money by selling war horses, will the horseshoes be more beneficial than harmful to the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Chengjiao nodded and said, "For the Qin Dynasty today, horseshoes are indeed a powerful weapon that can be legitimately equipped for the entire army."

"But there are more things hidden in my house than just horseshoes."

"Come on, help me!"

Ying Zheng helped Ying Chengjiao control the horse, and Ying Chengjiao took out an object that looked strange to Ying Zheng from a wooden box and placed it on the horse's back, and then fixed the object firmly to the horse's back with two leather belts.

This time, Ying Zheng was a little confused.

With one hand pulling the reins, and the other reaching for something on the horse's back, Ying Zheng didn't understand and asked, "What is this thing?"

Ying Chengjiao said with a complicated look: "Takahashi Saddle."

"What fell under Takahashi's saddle were the stirrups!"
