Chapter 18 Lion's Mane (1)

The Dong family is a powerful family in Lintao. Although they are not as powerful as those aristocratic families, they still have more than a thousand private soldiers and family slaves.

Most of these private soldiers have lived in the Dong family for several generations, and they are even more loyal to the Dong family.

The private soldiers of the entire old Dong family are generally divided into two parts.Some of them were dispatched by Dong Zhuo, and many of them were people whom Dong Zhuo met when he was traveling in the Northwest. Except for Dong Zhuo, no one could control them.

The other part is composed of Dong Fu's private soldiers and Bai Hao Qiang.Among them, the Qiang people were the dowry that Mrs. Dong brought from the tribe when she married Dong Zhuo.This part of the private soldiers is naturally controlled by Mrs. Dong, and Dong Zhuo has nothing to do.

Later, Mrs. Dong divided the private soldiers under her command into three shares and gifted them to Dong Yu's three sisters.

Dong Zhao has a gentle temperament and doesn't like fighting, so after marrying Niu Fu, he gave her private soldiers to Dong Yuan.This also caused Dong Yuan to become the most powerful person in the Dong Mansion besides Dong Zhuo and his wife.

Of course, this does not count the old lady.

In fact, even Dong Bi, who was with the old lady every day, couldn't figure out what kind of power the old lady had.However, he can guess that the old lady's influence will not be less than that of Mrs. Dong, and even stronger.

Dong Yuan grew up, relying on the love of Dong Zhuo and his wife and the old lady, no one dared to stare at her.

Even after getting married, even though Li Ru was the most powerful adviser under Dong Zhuo's command, he didn't dare to fight her.

This naturally formed Dong Yuan's savage personality.

As for Dong Bi, although he is ugly, Dong Yuan knows that this younger brother actually has a gentleness that women can't resist.

For ten years, Dong Yuan has never seen Dong Bi gnashing her teeth because of something.Unexpectedly, when he was angry, Dong Yuan, who was not afraid of anything, would feel a burst of heart palpitations for no reason.This feeling was only produced when facing his father Dong Zhuo.

Subconsciously, Dong Yuan immediately called the general.

He took out a tiger head talisman made of black jade from his bosom, "Immediately gather people and sweep the sub-altar of Lintao Taiping Road. The two leaders must not be let go. If anyone dares to block, they will be killed. Do you understand? "

"Here!"

The family general left immediately, and Dong Yuan looked at Dong Yu again, and found that he had turned into the blank look before.

Why should I listen to him?Why should I be afraid of him?

Dong Yuan suddenly felt extremely annoyed. She stepped forward, grabbed Dong Pi's ear and cursed, "Damn you, how dare you bark your teeth at me."

Dong Pi let out a scream, and stretched out his hand to block it.

In other words, he didn't exert much strength.But he didn't think about it, how can Dong Yuan be able to bear the strength of wielding a 150-jin sledgehammer and pulling a three-stone hard bow, even with a slight push?What's more, Dong Yuan was also joking.

"what……"

Dong Yuan almost fell off the horse, but fortunately Dong Yu had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported Dong Yuan.

"Ah Chou, why are you crazy?"

Dong Bi blushed, scratched his head and said, "I didn't do it on purpose, I was just thinking about something just now, I didn't expect...ah, I remembered."

In fact, ever since Dong Bi had his first war horse, he felt that something was missing.This feeling became more and more profound whenever he was riding a horse. Dong Yuan's pinch reminded him of it.

Stirrup……

The legendary stirrup.Didn’t those novels say that stirrups did not appear in the Three Kingdoms period?By the way, there are also horseshoes, which seem to have never appeared.Dong Bi was not very impressed with the stirrups, and he was not very clear about the shape of the horseshoes.After all, in the previous life, riding a horse was already very rare, let alone in the mountains.

"Luyi, do we have craftsmen in our family?"

"artisan?"

"Well, it's a blacksmith."

Dong Yuan was already on the horse at this time, and when she heard Dong Bi's question, she said, "Of course. Otherwise, how do we forge those armors in our family? How do you think your pair of sledgehammers were made? Didn't grandma order the craftsmen to make them?" build."

Dong Bi nodded, "Fourth sister, after picking out the horses and going home, can you find two craftsmen?"

"How difficult is this, what are you going to build?"

Dong Bi was in a very happy mood, "Well... Shanren has his own tricks."

"Shanren, you big-headed ghost!"

On the contrary, Dong Yu stared at Dong Pi with very strange eyes, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Dong Bi didn't notice Dong Yu's gaze, sat on the horse and went out of the city with a smile.To be honest, among all the Three Kingdoms novels he has read, the stirrups and horseshoes seem to be only insignificant changes.What kind of crossbow arrows, what kind of siege vehicles, whenever he thinks of those things that the people who travel through the world know, Dong Bi will feel extremely envious.

It's a pity that he doesn't know anything about crossbow arrows or the method of frying steel.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, even small changes like stirrups and horseshoes will make him happy.

That's one small step for him, but perhaps one giant leap for history.

It's a pity that when he was in middle school, the teacher didn't tell him how to dip in fire.After graduating from junior high school, he became a forest ranger, and he didn't even know which way the university opened.Sometimes I really admire it when I think about it. People in high school and university are really awesome. People who are not engaged in science and engineering know how to dip in fire. If he also went to university back then, haha...

******
Since the Dong family is powerful in Lintao, they naturally occupy a large piece of land.

Located at the junction of Lintao and the Qiang people's residential area, there is a vast pasture that belongs to the Dong family's property.

Originally, the ranch of the old Dong's family was not that big, but the Baihao Qiang migrated and gave their best land to Dong Zhuo before leaving.This also makes the pasture of the Dong family span two large pieces of land in Lintao and the Qiang people's residential area, ranking first among the local pastures.

As soon as he entered the pasture, Dong Bi could see herds of horses wandering in the pasture.

Of course, it is indispensable to have herdsmen watching over them, and tall shepherd dogs follow among the horses.

Dong Bi likes dogs. When he was a forest ranger in his previous life, he raised one, but it was later killed by poachers.

After coming to this era, Dong Bi did not change his preferences.

It's just that the old lady doesn't like dogs, but also likes to be clean.So much so that he, who lived with the old lady, couldn't keep a dog.But even so, when he got the chance to come to the ranch, he would tease the sheepdogs.

Speaking of which, Dong Pie was well-known in the ranch for his ability to train dogs.

"Fourth Sister, did you ask someone to do what I told you last time?" Dong Bi reined in his horse and asked.

Dong Yuan was startled, "What's the matter?"

"Sure enough, I forgot!" Dong Bi slapped his forehead and said distressedly: "Didn't I tell you that our ranch is too big, we'd better build some walls and fences, and set up some tricky watchtowers. The region and the relationship are inherently complicated. Father's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and it is inevitable that there will be some young people spying on us, so we can be prepared for any danger."

"I, I forgot!"

Dong Yuzong immediately stepped forward and said, "A Chou, do you want to build a city here?"

Dong Bi shook his head and replied: "Of course not...it will be troublesome to build a city, and it will cause misunderstandings by the Qiang people. There will be many things. What I mean is to set up a stockade here. First, it can face the corner of Lintao, and second, it can be regarded as a guardian. Our family's industry."
