Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 70 Don't hesitate to reward (please collect, please recommend)

Yingzheng immediately asked Yingbo about this, but Yingbo led a horse and said, "Your Majesty, please get on the horse and have a try."

Ying Zheng also laughed, although he was middle-aged and no longer young, but Ying Zheng's ambition was not old yet.

When even taking the reins from Yingbo, he saw a ring-shaped object next to the horse's belly. Under Yingbo's guidance, Yingzheng knew it was a stirrup.

Putting his feet into the stirrups, Ying Zheng rode the horse for a lap, and got off the horse. Ying Zheng was also a little bit unsatisfied. Just now on the horse, he felt what it means to gallop.The stirrups under his feet provided him with enough support, and he could flexibly control the horse with only his legs.

There is also a saddle, no matter how bumpy the horse is, the rider can still be firmly on the horse.

Ying Zheng also finally understood why those riders could use their bows and arrows on their horses before. To be honest, the role of this whole set of harnesses is really hard to describe in words.

It is simply a miracle!
In Ying Zheng's mind, perhaps only words like "miracle" are enough to describe the shock in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please look at the horseshoe."

According to Zhang Han's words, Ying Zheng bent down and saw a ring-shaped iron inlaid on the horse's hoof. Ying Zheng suddenly realized that this should be the reason why he heard the thunderous hooves earlier. For the person who invented this thing, Ying Zheng couldn't help but marvel at this man's whimsy.

In the army, it's not that no one has done this before. It's just that instead of using iron, cloth is used to protect the horse's hooves. The consequence is that the consumption of cloth has skyrocketed.

No treasury can withstand such a waste, so it can only be given up in the end.

Iron is used instead of cloth. Iron is more wear-resistant than cloth, but it can play the same role in protecting the fragile horseshoes of the horses, so that the horses do not have to be infected due to the wear and tear of the horseshoes, and eventually lead to non-combat attrition.

Although iron has not been popularized on a large scale at this time, the Shaofu can still afford to undertake the manufacture of some horseshoes.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, what was shown to His Majesty just now is the most basic tactical strategy of the new army, loitering and charging."

"Wandering shooting can greatly consume the enemy's army before the two armies engage in battle. If the enemy pursues, and our soldiers all have horses, they can retreat immediately, and when the enemy retreats, we can immediately pursue and pursue, so repeated many times , even the strongest enemy army will be exhausted, "

Ying Bu talked eloquently, took the bow and arrow in his hand from the side, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the latest bow and arrow developed by the Shaofu according to the combat requirements of the cavalry. Our soldiers can use this kind of arrow."

"This kind of arrow is heavy and narrow, and can be used for long-range shooting. Even if the enemy is wearing heavy armor, it can still cause damage." Ying Bu carefully held an arrow in front of Ying Zheng.

"There is also this kind of arrowhead, with a large and broad head, which can be used for short-range shooting, especially for shooting horses."

Ying Zheng took the two bows and arrows from Ying Bu and looked at them carefully.Ying Zheng didn't have the slightest doubt about Yingbo's stated purpose.

"Next, Yingbo is going to rely on these for tactical training such as horseback shooting..."

Listening to Yingbo's explanation, Ying Zheng really felt that this inspection was really worthwhile. What Yingbo showed him was completely beyond his imagination.

In the future, with this army as the skeleton, it is completely possible to expand. At that time, it will not be 300 people, but 3 people are possible.

With such a well-trained elite and strong army, the complete elimination of the northern barbarians will no longer be an idea on paper, but a reality that can be realized on the ground.

Ying Zheng has completely believed in the ambition that Yingbo made in front of him that day.Ying Zheng is very satisfied with Yingbo's performance.

He also secretly sighed in his heart that this kid Fusu has a good eye for people, and he found such a good general for Daqin.

I don't know what Fusu will gain from visiting the folks this time?
Zhang Han asked from the side: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the equipment and tactics used by the new army?"

"Okay, very good!" Ying Zheng let out bursts of hearty laughter.

"The new army has shown such a strong combat power in less than a month, which is beyond my imagination. These harnesses have helped our soldiers in Daqin a lot, and those tactics are both offensive and defensive, which are quite practical."

Ying Bu added on the side: "According to this tactic, the average barbarian can't effectively attack our army at all."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and said, "Qing Zhen is my Great Qin General!"

"I will reward you generously, Ai Qing, what do you want? I will reward you heavily."

Yingbu immediately knelt down on one knee, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, these tactics were not thought up by me alone, they were researched by Mr. Fusu and me in Shangjun's old residence for several days. I dare not Take the credit alone."

Zhang Han added without hesitation: "Those harnesses were all prepared by Fusu for the new army before he left Xianyang, and the bows and arrows were developed by Ling Fen, a giant of the Mohist school, inspired by some concepts explained by Fusu. .”

"What, Fusu?" Ying Zheng's face was full of shock.

"It's just that I didn't expect Mr. Fusu..." Zhang Han's words were choked up, and he didn't continue.

"I didn't expect that Fusu would still be of such great help to me after leaving Xianyang..." Ying Zheng was also a little emotional.

In his heart, he regretted letting Fusu leave Xianyang even more.

"Your Majesty, although Mr. Fusu contradicted you, he has always done his best to you, His Majesty, and has never had any selfishness towards the country and society of Great Qin. Please, Your Majesty, don't blame Mr. Fusu."

Yingbo and Zhang Han kowtowed heavily on the ground.

Regarding the statements of Yingbo and Zhang Han, Yingzheng didn't feel any pain in his heart.

Zhang Han's ability to join Fusu was entirely facilitated by Yingzheng. If Fusu was demoted to leave Xianyang because of Fusu, Zhang Han would immediately draw a line with Fusu, and even make trouble. Yingzheng would not like such a person.

And Yingbo was recommended by Fusu, and Fusu took good care of Yingbu on weekdays.If this is the case, even if Yingbo doesn't stand up to defend Fusu, can such a person entrust his troops and horses to him with confidence?

It should be known that the first requirement for a general in charge of the army is to be one-hearted with the king and to be the king's confidant. Only in this way can the king trust the army to the general.Secondly, what is considered is the ability of the leading generals.

Based on the performance of Zhang Han and Ying Bo today, Ying Zheng felt that these two people could be entrusted with important tasks.
