Da Qin: Send your wife at the beginning?Madam is actually a surprised salamander

Li Si in the crowd was greatly shocked when he saw this scene like stars holding the moon.

When will he be able to do the same!

The congratulations lasted for a while and then gradually subsided.

Li Mo raised his head slightly and said calmly: "Since I have been appointed as the national advisor, I will take advantage of today to offer a gift to the state of Qin."

Ying Zheng asked curiously: "What's the etiquette?"

Since it is something Li Mo will bring out in public in this hall, it must not be vulgar.

Li Mo put his hand into his arms under the attention of everyone.

Take out a box from inside.

The box is slightly larger than the palm of your hand and less than two inches thick.

Everyone looked up.

They were just as curious as Ying Zheng about what was inside.

Li Mo held the box with one hand and slowly opened it.

He took out a few weird-looking things from inside and said calmly: "This is it."

Everyone looked at the crescent-shaped iron block in his hand with confusion.

Ying Zheng was also stunned for a moment.

Puzzled: "What is this?"

He thought Li Mo would take out some diluted treasure to shock the audience.

In the end, I got a few iron lumps.

Li Mo said calmly: "This thing is called a horseshoe."

"As the name suggests, it is an iron block mounted on a horse's hoof."

"I have learned that the loss of horses on the battlefield is a major reason for suppressing the number of cavalry."

"And most of this loss comes from damage to the horses' hooves."

"The battlefield is rugged with rubble and there are swords and swords everywhere."

"If a horse's hoof steps on it, it will break apart after only a few steps, thus losing mobility and combat capabilities."

"If the war horses are worn out too much, it will not only increase military expenditures, but even affect the war situation."

In ancient times, the cost of raising war horses was extremely high.

However, the combat effectiveness of cavalry is far beyond what ordinary soldiers can match.

In terms of combat effectiveness, one cavalryman is equivalent to ten to twenty ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, all dynasties regarded war horses as a very important resource.

From birth to retirement, a war horse's service life is about ten to 15 years.

In addition to being injured on the battlefield, war horses will also suffer an inevitable but completely unnecessary loss.

That's damage to the horse's hoof.

The cavalry traveled long distances and encountered various road conditions.

The gravel on the mountain road causes extremely serious wear and tear on the horses' hooves.

Sometimes when a thousand cavalrymen rush to the battlefield, less than half of the horses are available!

The other half were due to traveling long distances, and the horses' hooves were damaged along the way and lost their fighting ability.

The situation became even more serious after going to the battlefield.

The swords, guns, swords and halberds dropped by both sides will be like bone scrapers, destroying the horses' hooves stepping on them.

After a battle, it is not uncommon for a war horse to be uninjured but with blood dripping from its hooves.

Li Mo held up the horseshoe and continued: "However, if such horseshoes are nailed to the horse, such injuries can be avoided to the greatest extent."

"Horseshoes made of iron can not only prevent damage to the horse's hoofs, but also increase the power of the horse's trampling."

"Under the iron hooves, is An's egg intact?"

After hearing this explanation, Wang Jian, who was still confused, suddenly widened his eyes.

He has been in the army all his life and naturally knows what Li Mo means by the loss of war horses.

Those civil servants who don't go to the battlefield or bask in the sun may not be able to count, but he knows this well.

Those unnecessary injuries not only greatly increase military expenditures, but may even affect the progress of the war!

If there is a way to reduce or even avoid such situations.

Then the money saved can be used to raise more war horses!

Build more cavalry!

Cavalry is an important strategic method on the battlefield.

Strong mobility, fast pursuit, fast support, and strong combat power!

The number of cavalry is even related to the strength of a country's military strength.

Its importance is self-evident!

"Master...Master, can you show me this horseshoe?"

Wang Jian stood up first, his breathing a little short.

All the generals also looked shocked!

Like Wang Jian, they all knew the meaning of the horseshoe!

If this thing is as magical as Li Mo said, then Qin's military power will immediately rise to a new level!

"If General Wang wants to see it, of course he can."

Li Mo showed a kind smile and said holding the horseshoe in both hands.

It's hard to disrespect a loyal veteran like Wang Jian.

Wang Jian came to him with a quick pace and carefully took four pairs of horseshoes.

After shaking it in my hand, I found that the weight was lighter than I thought.

Mounting it on the horse's hooves will not affect the speed of the war horse at all.

After knocking a few times, bursts of tinkling sounds were heard.

Wang Jian was suddenly shocked!

Hearing this sound, he even thought of the scene of Qin cavalry crushing rocks and expanding their territory invincibly!

"This...this...this is a divine thing!"

Wang Jian's eyes trembled as he looked at Li Mo excitedly.

The crowd burst into an uproar!

Getting such great recognition from Wang Jian is enough to show the importance of this thing!

Li Mo said calmly: "General Wang, do you think this thing is useful to our Qin cavalry?"

Wang Jian pursed his lips heavily.

He said angrily: "It's more than useful!"

He suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, if all our Qin cavalry can be equipped with this thing, the loss of the war horses will be reduced by half!"

Ying Zheng's brows twitched uncontrollably.

He was obviously shocked!

Darling, so many?

If the loss of war horses is reduced by half, it means that the other half of the military expenditure can be used to raise another cavalry!

The same military expenditure can directly change from 20 cavalry to [-] cavalry!

The military strength has doubled!

There were waves of shocking exclamations in the field!

Wang Jian has always been a steady person.

If he says that, then he must not be talking nonsense!

【内篰群(qi liu san si ba ling yi wu qi)】

I'm afraid this is still his conservative estimate!

Shocked eyes fell on Li Mo.

Is this gift from the Imperial Master too big?

This is only his first day as the national master. No one can imagine what kind of changes he will bring to Qin in the future!

Li Mo was calm in the eyes of so many people.

With a smile on his face, he said: "That's good."

This court meeting lasted extremely long.

It opens from daylight to 640 pm.

It started with Wang Yan's incident, and then Meng Tian was promoted to Zuo Shuchang.

The last Imperial Master descended from the sky, bringing with him a sixteen-character comment from the Heavenly Book and a horseshoe that shocked the entire audience!

After the meeting, Meng Tian took the lead and walked towards Li Mo.

"I have seen the National Teacher."

He was convinced by the call of the Imperial Master.

If it weren't for Li Mo, he would still be a commander of thousands who accumulated military exploits in Wu Sui's camp!

"General Meng, you're welcome."
