Training Tai Sui

Page 191

When Qin Feng left the gate of Qinjiazhuang, a group of hundreds of brave cavalry in strong and sharp clothes had been waiting for a long time, and the leader was not an unknown person, but Yang Yichen, an outstanding young man of the Sui Dynasty who was a sixth-rank Wu Ben Zhonglang.

In addition, there was a team of gorgeously dressed servants and maids accompanying them. The leader was Luo Yuan, the eunuch in charge of the case who came back from Luoyang, the eastern capital.

In addition, the door flags, dragon and tiger banners, spears, leopard tails and other things bestowed by the emperor were also displayed, but Qin Feng had to hold the scepter himself.

Yang Yichen has a simple and honest appearance, he is only in his twenties, his height would be about 1.9 meters at least in later generations, his shoulders are broad, and he does not need to use hands. With this appearance, his martial arts will definitely not be bad.

Strictly speaking, Yang Yichen is not a Han, but a Sinicized Xianbei. His original surname is Yuchi. His father and Yang Jian have a good relationship. When his uncle made trouble, his father locked himself in a prison and pleaded guilty to Yang Jian. .

Yang Jian was very happy. After quelling Yang Yichen's uncle's rebellion, his family was not implicated. He even took Yang Yichen to the palace to raise him, giving him the surname Yang, and raised him as his grandson.

Regarding Yang Jian's taste, Qin Feng is really powerless to complain. You must know that Yang Yichen is older than all of your Yang Jian's sons except Yang Yong. Is it because you have no grandson, so you have to recognize a grandson?

However, there are not a few Sinicized Xianbei people who are active in the Great Sui Dynasty Hall, and many of them are in high positions.Such as He Ruo's, Dugu's, Yuwen's, Yuchi's and so on.When Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved his capital to Luoyang and forced the Xianbei people to change their surnames, most Xianbei people have forgotten the glory of galloping on the grassland.

Coupled with the fact that the grasslands are now dominated by the Turkic people, these Xianbei people had to stay in the Sui Dynasty, and they were not much different from the Han people.

"Sixth Rank Wu Ben Zhonglang General Yang Yichen, pay homage to the angel! Please forgive me for not being able to fully salute because of the armor on his body!"

Yang Yichen was wearing a battle armor, an eagle helmet on his head, and a long knife hanging from his waist. He even clasped his fists to salute, and he was extremely majestic.

If Qin Feng is white, then Yang Yichen naturally doesn't need to worship him, and he should be polite to call Mr. Qin, if you are not polite, there is nothing wrong with calling him a little bastard.But it's different now, the thing called talisman in Qin Feng's hand is not for looking good.

This thing has a lot of power, the simplest thing is to cut off Yang Yichen's head without any reason, and you don't have to be responsible.

Qin Feng stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "General Yang, please get up quickly, because General Yang has been forced to follow me all this way, Ziyu is very disturbed."

Yang Yichen was obviously a kind person, he smiled brightly when he heard the words, and said indifferently: "For the sake of the Sui Dynasty, there is no trouble or not, but the general has heard the name of an angel for a long time, and today I am rewarded to see him, I am very lucky in my life!"

It is comfortable to chat with someone who can talk, Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction, at least Yang Jian didn't fool himself in this matter, and even Yang Yichen was with him, this trip should not be sent to death, right?

"Slave Luo Yuan, meet the angel."

The old eunuch at the side came over, looking at least fifty years old, with wrinkles all over his face, two slender eyebrows trembling, but his lips were terribly red.One spine is completely bent, and you can't even lift your feet when walking. If it weren't for the obvious ups and downs between the chest and abdomen, and Yang Yichen seemed to be familiar with it, then Qin Feng would definitely think that he had encountered a zombie.

"Eunuch Luo doesn't need to be polite."

For this one, Qin Feng really didn't dare to reach out to help, otherwise, if there were any missing parts, Qin Feng would not be able to tell with a hundred mouths.

Looking up at the weather, Qin Feng got on his horse and held up the talisman in his hand.

"set off!"

Chapter 168 All the Way to the South

For Qin Feng, this trip at public expense was not bad except that his life was in danger.

After all, since he was reborn for more than a year, he has been wandering around the three-acre land near Daxing City, and he has never had time to take a good look at the world.

But after a few days of departure, Qin Feng regretted it.

Because the lyrics are all deceptive, and the outside world is not exciting at all.

Except for the beauty of the gem-like blue sky, there is not much difference between the scenery between the sky and the earth. The trees that have just sprouted buds, and the lush fields. If Qin Feng, who has just left the city, is still full of these scenery In terms of freshness, he is already full of boredom with this stereotyped scenery.

The villages next to the official road are still clusters of adobe thatched houses, and there is very little smoke from the kitchen. The poor people with yellow and emaciated faces hunched over their bodies and curled up far away looking at Qin Feng's envoy team, without envy or hope in their eyes. Only eternal numbness.

The farther away from Daxing City, the more serious this situation became. Qin Feng was in a bad mood. It was not so much that the scenery was not as good as he wanted, but that these people who could not even become farmers deeply hurt his heart.

What the common people want is a full mouthful of food. Is it really that difficult?

At the beginning, Qin Feng would take out dry food to help the people, but as time went by, he gave up this behavior.

It's not that he became numb because he watched too much, but he can manage one or ten, but can't manage thousands or tens of thousands. He can manage them today, but he can't manage tomorrow.

What he wants is to treat the root cause, not the symptoms, so launching a high-yielding crop is imminent.

The emissary team started from Daxing City, passed through Hongnong, Xiangcheng and other counties, and headed southeast slowly all the way.Considering the problem of food and lodging, the post stations below the county seat can't afford them to eat horse chews, so the daily journey is not very long.

However, after this journey, Qin Feng didn't get nothing.

And the biggest harvest is definitely not how hard the people are living. He has known this for a long time, but this time he saw it more intuitively.

His biggest achievement is that the horses are so precious that they are far better than soldiers.

Perhaps because of the inheritance of the Xianbei Dynasty, there were many cavalry in the Sui Dynasty, and raising horses was even more of a fashion.However, in the eyes of Qin Feng in the past, horses are just like the cars of later generations. They are just means of transportation. They are taken out for riding when needed, and put in the stables to feed some grass when not needed. yes.

But now, he discovered that it was more than that.

He witnessed with his own eyes that the one hundred Xiao cavalry guards, including the leader Yang Yichen, would never do anything else before resting and eating, but serving their horses.

Brush the hair, tidy the saddle, check the horse for any injuries, and then feed the horse with black beans and other fine materials in a cloth trough that is carried close to the body.

You must know that it is a manger made of cloth!

Even many people even made their inner garments made of rough linen, but no one was stingy in this manger.

After the horse is full, the matter is not over yet, and the horse has to be fed with water.This water is not to lead the horse to the river and let it drink by itself.

The water should not be boiled, but it should not be cold. In winter, ice balls are not allowed, and it must be mild.

With such a complete set, impatient people will be annoyed.More importantly, this is not an occasional behavior, but a necessary homework every day.

Later, Qin Feng inquired, since there are many horses in the Sui Dynasty, why are they so expensive?

The answer... is a bit cruel. There were a lot of horses in the Sui Dynasty, but that was basically the foundation left by the Xianbei people. In the current Sui Dynasty, only Guanlong, Hexi, Hedong, and Liaoxi counties produced horses.Among them, the horses in Hedong and Liaoxi have good endurance, but they are short, so they are not suitable for pulling goods, but they are not suitable for war horses.

In other words, only Guanlong and Hexi produced first-class war horses throughout the Sui Dynasty. Could it not be expensive?

Qin Feng thought that he was a master of theory, but Yang Yichen seemed to have participated in many wars. With an open mind to ask for advice, Qin Feng asked a lot about military matters.

Then...

The three views are broken a bit!

Qin Feng really felt that his previous knowledge was a bit embarrassing. It turns out that fighting is not just riding a horse, holding a knife, wearing armor, and then going to the battlefield to do the work.

It turned out that before the war, military service would have to be conscripted.

The equipment used by serious soldiers is very complicated, and the food and grass consumed along the way is not a small amount.Let these soldiers rush to the battlefield against these things, not to mention fighting, it is a good thing that they didn't exhaust themselves to death.

Ever since, military service, that is, civilian husbands, is what they do.An infantry needs at least one civilian husband, while a cavalry needs at least three people.

In other words, regardless of the fact that there were hundreds of thousands of troops in wars in ancient times, the water is too big, at least half of them are civilian husbands.

Another thing that subverts Qin Feng's opinion the most is the armor.

In Qin Feng's original impression, armor should be a must-have for every soldier, and the movies and TV dramas in the previous life also illustrate this point.
