When the horse stands, walks, and runs, only the horse's hooves touch the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to avoid injuries to the horse's hooves, or to wear out too quickly, a horseshoe is usually nailed underneath the horse's hoof, which is the horse's shoe.

A horse's hooves are like human fingernails, they grow continuously, and every once in a while, the hooves are removed, trimmed, and re-nailed.

Warhorses' shoes are more worn-out than ordinary horses, and they have to be replaced with a new pair of hooves at any time.

There is never a shortage of craftsmen in the army to change the horseshoe, and when the personnel are ready, the craftsmen first remove the old horseshoe and cut the horseshoes that have grown too long into short.

Then cut the front edge and the heart of the horse's hoof into an appropriate shape, and then trim it with a file.

Then choose a pair of horseshoes of the right size, burn them red over high heat, and hammer them out of the anvil to create a suitable shape.

With the help of the officers and soldiers who helped, the horseshoe, which was still very hot, was imprinted into a fixed position under the horse's hooves.

Finally, the horseshoe is driven into the horseshoe from the bottom to the top with nails, and each nail must be nailed diagonally through the hoof wall. Cut off the nail tip that is exposed after the nail is pierced, bend it downward, and grind it flat, and that's it.

The craftsmen and masters are busy today, in addition to the more than 700 war horses captured in the whole battalion, there are still many horses that should also be replaced with horseshoes.

The war horses that have changed the horseshoe are led to the school field one by one to observe, after all, they will be used to charge into battle in the future, and whether they hurt their legs when they fell into the water last time must be carefully observed, and if there is a lameness, they must be fed separately and carefully checked.

Let a person lead the horse to walk quickly, carefully observe the rhythm and stride of the horse's four feet, it is easy to see whether the war horse is lame.

After these tasks are explained, there will naturally be a special person in charge, and Chen Xin just needs to wait to hear the results.

They were busy until the afternoon, and the falcons of the reconnaissance company also finished probing the situation on the other side.

Although Huang Taiji retreated 5 miles yesterday, he did not retreat directly.

Today, the eagle falcon detected in the distance that the army led by Huang Taiji had re-encamped 20 miles away from the Yalu River.

Looking at the intelligence, Chen Xin kept frowning, spring ploughing was about to begin, Huang Taiji still didn't retreat, what else did he have to do?

Amin is in a hurry to knock the king of the Joseon Dynasty to the death, eliminate the dissidents and cultivate his loyal dogs, Chen Xin is now the emperor of Yizhou is far away.

Huang Taiji's side seems to be in danger, and his thousands of men and horses may be overturned by the other party's tens of thousands of troops at any time, but Chen Xin knows that Huang Taiji is just holding on, and there is no big boat to cross the river, so he can only choose to retreat in the end.

Although when the Yalu River freezes again in the next winter and the explosives package can't be exploded, waiting for himself is definitely Huang Taiji's crazy killing, but it will have to wait for more than half a year.

If you can grow your strength to a level that is enough to protect yourself when you are powerless on both sides, then you will have the capital to advance and retreat freely.

Now is the perfect time to expand your strengths.

It's a pity that with his own troops, he didn't dare to cross the river to fight Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji does not retreat, and he may not be able to leave Yizhou in a short time.

In the current situation, I can only passively wait and see the move.

It seems that we need to take precautions, seize the time to resume production first, and we can't miss the spring ploughing.

There are also various workshops, which should also be settled down first, so that they can start production as soon as possible.

There was already a shortage of guns and artillery, but the scale of this army expansion is somewhat large, and the gap in standard weapons is even greater.

Glancing at today's staff officer on duty, Chen Xin called out "Kanshu".

"To"

Record Command

"Yes"

"The first order, from tomorrow, the units will return to normal training."

"In the second order, the families of all the soldiers under my command were resettled in the city of Uiju and began to resume the production of the workshops."

"The third order, from now on, this general will open the government and build a tooth, and the general's palace will have a general staff and a civil affairs department, which will be in charge of various affairs."

"In the fourth order, the Ministry of Civil Affairs set up six offices under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the minister and the director of the six halls formed a staff group to assist the shogunate in managing all civil affairs under the shogunate. Specific personnel appointments will be made individually. ”

"The fifth order, the reconnaissance platoon was immediately expanded, renamed the reconnaissance and search force, and formed a separate army, and the specific establishment will be discussed later, and all Bayalas will be transferred from the other three Jurchen Niulu to join it, and Lakshen will be given the right to freely select soldiers in the whole battalion, as long as the soldiers he chooses, after passing the assessment of the military department, they can be transferred to the reconnaissance team."

"The sixth order, the formation of a ranger unit, a separate army, the specific preparation of the will be discussed later."

"The seventh order, the original cavalry company for its bravery, tenacity and outstanding service in the Battle of Stone Bridge, is hereby commended and awarded honorary titles, and belongs to the ranger unit after reconstruction."

"The eighth order is to establish a coast guard force and form a separate army, and the specific establishment will be discussed later."

More than a dozen orders continued to come out of Chen Xin's mouth, and he was able to write down them on the side, and after shorthanding them down, he rearranged them and brought them to Chen Xin for his attention.

Chen Xin scanned it carefully, there was no problem, stamped his big seal one by one, and then recorded and archived it and distributed it to the relevant personnel.

When the orders were issued, Chen Xin thought for a moment and thought about the fact that the fleet had been late for many days.

Yesterday everyone was so excited that they forgot to ask.

Asked to call the military commander of the newly established Coast Guard, Chen Xin asked, "Your fleet is so fast, why did it arrive five days late?" Did you run into something on the way? ”

"Commander-in-chief, our journey is indeed full of twists and turns, we encountered pirates soon after we went to sea, of course, a few pirate ships did not pose any threat at all, in order not to delay time, we easily got rid of them with speed, but on the northern coast of Korea, we were intercepted by the Daming Naval Division."

Chen Xin was puzzled: "Da Ming's fleet intercepted? Didn't you raise the agreed flag? ”

"We were also wondering about this, obviously the flag was raised, but we were constantly intercepted along the way, they were very unfriendly, directly asked us to stop the boat, and some even opened fire without saying hello. We received an order that the Ming was a friendly army, so in order to avoid conflict, we took a lot of detours to get here. ”

"Do you see clearly? Is it the sailor of the Ming Dynasty? Under what banner? ”

"We can see clearly that it is the Daming Water Division, and it is Mao Wenlong's troops in Dongjiang Town."

"I see, you go down first."

"The subordinates retired."

Chen Xin frowned and thought for a long time, he really couldn't think of a clue, didn't he already send someone to contact Daming? How can there be conflict?

Turning his head and ordering, "Call Liu Xingzuo." ”

After a while, Liu Xingzuo ran over sweating profusely.
