(Recommended 65, haha, finally, this second is more legitimate. Thank you for your support from brothers. What surprised me was that the collection of books in the bookstore exceeded Dianniang's collection for the first time. Yesterday, the collection of books in the Qidian was 35, and the bookstore 36 Xiguan thanks all brothers for their comments. Thank you for your support from the brothers in the bookstore, bow!)

In fact, the saddle does not need to be described in detail. The biggest function of the saddle is to be stable, so that people can sit comfortably and more steadily.

Compared to saddles, stirrups are very important.

Li Chengqian introduced with a smile: "The generals are called stirrups. Although the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is already very strong, with stirrups, I can guarantee that they will be stronger.

As the saying goes, "force comes from the root, strength comes from the legs." Our current reins cannot truly free the cavalry's hands. The shaking legs cannot add auxiliary power to the upper limbs, and the lethality is not as good as the down-to-earth infantry. This kind of cavalry unit has no obvious advantage in confronting the infantry phalanx.

But when our Tang Dynasty cavalry equipped with stirrups, it can completely free the rider's hands and bodies, making the horse go up and down like walking on the ground, and can rotate flexibly on the horse; the rider's concentration suddenly increases when stepping on the stirrups, and his hands are free to sway."

"So that's it!" Li Jing and Li Yaoshi's eyes flashed and shouted: "So that's it. My God, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty cavalry, the prince's posture of heaven and man, Your Majesty!"

Li Yaoshi turned around and looked at Li Shimin and shouted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, he is really a talent. With the stirrup invented by Your Highness the Crown Prince, our cavalry in Tang Dynasty will be invincible."

"Pharmacist, can you explain it clearly?" Li Shimin also showed a look of surprise.

Li Yaoshi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, dear lords, this invention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can really increase the power of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty ten or even fifty times.

Although our heavy cavalry in the Tang Dynasty was powerful, because there were no stirrups, the cavalry could not rely on the power of the horse when charging. The rider's charge relied entirely on his own arm strength, and the impact was very limited.

As His Royal Highness said, "Strength comes from the root, strength comes from the legs."

If our entire army is equipped with stirrups invented by His Highness the Prince, then the cavalry's feet have a strong support point, and the cavalry's hands no longer need to pull the reins to control the war horses, and their legs finally no longer need to clamp the horse's belly tightly as before to maintain their body stability.

In this way, the cavalry can do various complex and difficult actions on the speeding war horse. Especially when wearing heavy armor and using large weapons, they can do multiple left and right directions on the horse's back and swing at multiple angles to complete complex battles such as left and right chop or dodge without slowing down or worrying about falling off, which was unimaginable in the past.

The heavy armored cavalry can be said to be a combination of attack and defense. The heavy armored cavalry that lined up and charged was like a torrent of steel in the era of cold weapons. For light cavalry, the liberated hands are more suitable for operating crossbows, sabers, and are more powerful whether they are riding or shooting or raiding.

At the same time, stirrups can greatly reduce rider fatigue and reduce rider rest time, making cavalry more suitable for long-distance raids.

Your Majesty, if there are stirrups, the last general can issue a military order to determine the destruction of Tuyuhun!”

"Ah!" Li Shimin suddenly stood up from the dragon chaise. He quickly walked to Li Chengqian's mount. Looking at the stirrups on Li Chengqian's mount, Li Shimin touched them with his hands very preciously and said, "Chengqian, how did you come up with this stirrup?"

"ah?"

Suddenly, his father called Chengqian, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment because he had not responded to the scolding of his rebellious son just now. Fortunately, Li Chengqian's reaction was not slow.

So Li Chengqian quickly bowed and said, "In fact, this was not invented by the son minister. It was found by the son minister in an ancient book. The son minister knew that his father had always been worried, so he dared not go to class and wanted to share his worries for the father."

"Okay, my good prince, my father blamed you just now. You are my good prince and the good prince of the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin touched Li Chengqian's face with his hands in emotion.

This action almost made Li Chengqian cry because he couldn't remember when the last time his father touched his face with his hand.

However, just when Li Chengqian was so moved that he was about to cry.

Another discordant voice sounded. Whoever's voice could be, would anyone dare to sing the opposite tune at this time? Only our King of Yue Li Tai.

"Brother Prince, you just said that you have thought of a solution for your father's Ma Zheng. Although your stirrup is good, what does it have to do with Ma Zheng?"

Li Tai's voice made Li Chengqian's eyes darker, but soon Li Chengqian's smile appeared again, because his elder brother said that no matter what kind of embarrassment he encountered, he must smile, especially the embarrassment given by his younger brother.

"Qingque is still too impatient. Thank you Qingque for your prince brother. I'm worried. I'm about Ma Zheng!"

After saying that, Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said, "Father, I think there are two aspects to our horse politics in the Tang Dynasty. One is to open source, which means making a lot of money, which allows us to buy horses unscrupulously.

This is a bad person!”

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Tai on the other side immediately couldn't wait to sneer: "What else would you say if you can't do that prince brother? You know, if you can't do it, prince brother is just a deceiving the emperor and knowing the crime."

This was very heartbreaking. Just when Li Chengqian wanted to explain, another majestic voice suddenly came.

"Your King Yue is talking too much. What do you think you are talking when your brother is talking? I think you are getting less and less noble?"

Li Shimin finally couldn't help it and shouted lowly at Li Tai.

Li Chengqian felt relieved, but he immediately rescued Li Tai and said, "Father, Qingque is just worried about me, please don't blame me."

"Well, I have the style of brotherhood, Qingque, learn from your elder brother!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

Li Tai on the other side was almost shattered. You know, he has always been Li Shimin's favorite, and when did he become the target of being scolded?

Just when Li Tai hated him deeply, Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and continued, "Father, since my son cannot open up the source for my father, I wonder if I can save money for my father."

After saying that, Li Chengqian directly raised one of the hoofs on his mount and said, "Father, please see, this is the horseshoe designed by Erchen. As we all know, war horses run for a long time, on different roads, sometimes it rains heavily and encounters muddy roads, and when it encounters stones on the mountain road, the cuticle on the horses' hoofs is thick and wear-resistant, it cannot withstand long wear. The horses' hooves will be polished sooner or later, and it will take too long to grow again.

Also, if the horseshoe is soaked in water for a long time, it is also a road surface that freezes in winter, it will have serious consequences, making it soft and fragile. When it hits a hard ground, it will crack and break, and the horse will be scrapped directly.

These will increase the loss of our Tang horses.

But if we use horseshoes, it is like putting a pair of iron shoes on the horse, and the conditions on it will be effectively alleviated.

Originally, a group of war horses that could only be used for five years, and after having horse hoofs, they could be used for ten years. With this horse hoof, there would be no disputes among the civil and military officials in the court just now, because horse hoofs would minimize the loss of horses that attacked Tuyuhun, and I, the Tang Dynasty, could definitely afford it."

"Good idea!" Fang Xuanling, who was on the side, was the first to discover the wonders. He looked at the horse's hooves and smiled: "Your Majesty's method is really simple, but it is simple but very effective. Two small pieces of iron can definitely afford to us. More importantly, as long as we wear these shoes on war horses, I can be sure that the loss of our horses will be reduced by at least half. Oh my God, the invention of His Royal Highness the Prince can at least save millions of horses for our Tang Dynasty."

"Okay, okay!" Li Shimin shouted three times, and then Li Shimin couldn't help but touch Li Chengqian and shouted affectionately: "Chengqian is worthy of being my Li Shimin's Qilin son!"
