You were asked to impersonate the King of Qin, not to become emperor!
Chapter 20 Cavalry Training
Three days later.
The Sixth Prince's Residence.
"Your Highness, the Prince of Jin has already sent 500,000 taels of silver from various aristocratic families, which Your Highness will use to build this cavalry force."
At this moment, a middle-aged man in blue entered the study and bowed.
"Indeed, the gentry are wealthy. This first payment of 500,000 taels has solved my immediate crisis!"
Chen Feng was studying military texts, his hands pressed against the desk.
After hearing this, he smiled, looked at the man, and asked, "By the way, have you contacted the Langya Wang clan? What was their reply?"
"Your Highness, I have visited the various residences of the Langya Wang clan, and they have all assured me that they will not provide the Prince of Qin with a single tael of silver."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction: "The Langya Wang Clan is quite pragmatic. Without their support, Chen Xuan has neither the funds nor the expertise to train an army. How can he compete with me, the Crown Prince? I am determined to secure this position!"
As he spoke, Chen Feng clenched his fists, a strong desire for power gleaming in his eyes.
"only……"
The middle-aged man in blue suddenly became serious.
Chen Feng quickly frowned. "But what?"
"Three days ago, the King of Qin went to the gambling den and won a lot of money from King Xuan. In the end, he forced King Xuan to take away the three hundred elite cavalrymen who had been convicted and demoted to serfs."
Seeing that Chen Xuan hadn't remained inactive, Chen Feng's expression turned cold. "What? These people have good foundations? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Your Highness, Prince Xuan has remained silent about this matter since then. This information was obtained by our informant."
Chen Feng immediately became alert and said, "Chen Xuanzhen has quite the audacity to scheme against the Imperial Uncle. This proves that he is also seriously preparing for this matter. I, the Prince, absolutely cannot let him outdo me. Find out who trained these three hundred men!"
Chen Feng wields considerable influence in the military.
If the general who trained Chen Xuan's cavalry was experienced in cavalry, he could easily use some means to make the other party slack off in training and thus mislead Chen Xuan.
The middle-aged man in blue said, "It was the King of Qin who trained them."
Chen Feng was stunned: "He trains them himself? A scholar like him can train soldiers? Are you sure?"
"Absolutely certain."
"Haha, is Chen Xuan a fool? I thought he could still pose a threat to me, but now it seems he has no right to compete with me at all."
"Use the silver sent by the gentry to buy these cavalry the best warhorses! And from today onwards, they must train day and night without fail."
"Yes."
The middle-aged man nodded and left.
……
Five days later.
Qin Wangfu.
Chen Xuan summoned his trusted aides and asked, "How is the cavalry three-piece set I asked you to forge coming along?"
For the past five days, Chen Xuan has been personally training these cavalrymen.
These cavalrymen, as expected of their past military exploits, were exceptionally quick-witted.
Chen Xuan only needed to give a slight hint, and they immediately understood.
Judging from their current training, they have made rapid progress and have fully mastered the combat tactics that Chen Xuan taught them.
Now, all that's left is to equip those warhorses with the cavalry's three-piece suit.
Once these equipment are installed, combat power will be greatly enhanced.
"They've all been made, a full two hundred sets. Please, Your Highness, inspect them!" the confidant said excitedly.
Chen Xuan patted his trusted aide heavily on the shoulder and said, "You have rendered a great service to me. Let's go see..."
Upon arriving at the workshop and seeing the completed saddles, stirrups, and iron hooves, Chen Xuan was overjoyed.
"These craftsmen are quite skilled; their craftsmanship is exquisite, better than I imagined!"
The confidant asked doubtfully, "Your Highness, can this equipment really drastically increase the cavalry's combat power? It seems quite ordinary to me."
"Ordinary? Saddles and stirrups can fix the rider and horse together, forming a unity of man and horse. Iron hooves can prevent the horse's hooves from getting injured, so it won't get hurt on various roads and increases the distance of a raid," Chen Xuan explained.
Upon hearing this, the confidant was so shocked that he was speechless.
These equipment completely compensated for the weaknesses of cavalry.
It directly maximizes combat power.
With this equipment, they might really be able to crush the Xiliang cavalry.
After all, the Xiliang cavalry were not equipped with such terrifying equipment.
"Immediately send these equipment to the training grounds, equip the soldiers with them, and nail the horseshoes shut. I want to see the actual effect!" Chen Xuan ordered.
The trusted confidant dared not delay and immediately sent someone to deliver the equipment.
When the two hundred cavalrymen were equipped with the three-piece cavalry set, they were all terrified.
"Your Highness, this is the equipment you were talking about! It's practically divine gear!"
"Is this the effect of man and horse becoming one? If we had had this equipment back then, we probably could have crushed the Xiongnu!"
"Your Highness is truly wise; you've managed to invent such excellent cavalry equipment!"
After a series of drills, Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction: "From today onwards, you shall be called the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! You have only two days left to familiarize yourselves with this equipment."
"Yes, ma'am."
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry mounted their horses and formed a battle formation.
Chen Xuan rode his chestnut horse, picked up his dagger, and walked past the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the blades clashing against them.
"The Jin army is mighty!"
"The King of Qin is mighty!"
……
Chen Xuan looked at Fan Zhong, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and said:
"Fan Zhong, tomorrow, a large-scale exercise will be held. I will be accompanied by the Queen to inspect it. You must not embarrass me."
"Your Highness, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will never disappoint you!" Fan Zhong said, gazing intently at his horse.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
The next day, at the sand field on the outskirts of the city.
Chen Xuan rode a horse carrying Wang Qingyi here.
Wang Qingyi looked completely bewildered.
"Your Highness, I want you to see the cavalry I've built over the past seven days. They're called the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry..."
Wang Qingyi glanced around and found that the cavalrymen were all fierce and powerful, with murderous intent surging in their eyes, giving them a strong sense of oppression.
Previously, she had returned to her clan several times, hoping to help Chen Xuan obtain some silver to build an army.
No matter how much she pleaded, the Langya Wang clan refused to provide any support, citing the fear of offending the sixth prince.
This made Wang Qingyi feel very guilty.
Now, seeing that Chen Xuan had built such a powerful cavalry force without receiving any support, they were truly shocked.
Moreover, these warhorses are equipped with gear.
The clever girl quickly understood the purpose of these devices.
"Is this the equipment you were talking about?" Wang Qingyi asked.
"Is the Princess satisfied?"
"This is simply divine equipment."
Wang Qingyi was shocked, especially after watching the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's drills, she found their tactics novel, their infiltration and encirclement maneuvers were very well coordinated.
"This cavalry... is very strong." Wang Qingyi was excited, but at the same time looked at Chen Xuan with guilt and said, "I'm so sorry I couldn't help you in this process!"
"Haha, Your Highness, there's no need to blame yourself. I had already anticipated the attitude of the Langya Wang clan. Besides, building this cavalry doesn't require much funding; the royal family can afford it, after all, it's only a force of two hundred men!"
