Chapter 2022 Peerless horse, and the destination of the master of Soma
Jibei Wilderness, the territory of Qi Chao Mu Ma Yuan.
The vast expanse of green grass in Muyuan is like a green satin carpet spreading to the sky. Looking around, the sky and the earth are vast, boundless and full of green. Suddenly, a group of horses gallops past, as free as the wind.
Katamakihara was galloping, and not far from the group of herds, there were two horses, each with distinct red and white bodies. They galloped wantonly, letting their thick manes twirl and dance, and from time to time they raised their heads and shouted to the sky.
A long, cheerful hiss.
Although these two horses are majestic and strong, but have entered their twilight years, they are the Jade Lion of Zhaoye and the Horse of Thousand Miles Neighing Wind that Xiao Tang often rode during his campaigns.
The average lifespan of an ordinary war horse is between thirty and thirty-five years old, and it can be used in battles for up to twenty years. However, Xiao Tang got two horses, the Fire Red Block Thousand Miles Neighing Wind Horse and the Zhaoye Jade Lion respectively.
They were already in their prime when they were good and handsome horses. Time flies, and today, these two handsome horses are also old. They were originally kept in the royal stables in the inner city of Daming Mansion. However, these two horses
It had been a long time since they had galloped thousands of miles and followed their masters on the battlefield. Although they did not understand human language, the officials in the Royal Horse Prison could clearly tell that they were depressed and unhappy. They had been eating several bushels of beans and drinking a handful of dendrobium from the spring.
Since not long ago, I have been unable to eat well and have been huddled in the stables all day long. My mental state seems to be very depressed.
Xiao Tang was probably able to understand the thoughts of his two beloved horses, so he issued an order to the chief horse supervisor to inspect the various horse farms under the rule of the Qi Dynasty. When he inspected the horse farms under the rule of the Qi Dynasty, he also ordered the two jade lions to be illuminated at night and the red horse to be neighing for thousands of miles.
The BMW, which can now be said to have retired, was brought to a pastureland with rich water and grass to graze. And these two BMWs, which had been fighting for too many years with the founding emperor of the Qi Dynasty, came to the wilderness of Jibei to herd horses.
As expected, I immediately felt refreshed when I came to the courtyard. I was running around wildly on the vast pastures all day long. I was so happy...
The old man is brave and ambitious, but his ambition is thousands of miles.
Not only Xiao Tang's two royal horses are enjoying peace and tranquility in retirement, but there are also many military generals' favorite horses in the horse herding yard. They have been sent to free range due to their old age. However, those who are about to conquer the world
Xiao Tang, and even the many close brothers who have made achievements on the battlefield, the merits of the famous generals are certainly not without the peerless horses to drive. Just on the other side of this pasture, there is also a group of horses, all of which are red in color, and they are as fast as they gallop.
Balls of galloping flames, and among the more than twenty horses galloping happily on the grassland on the other side, there are young horses, mares, and foals... However, what is more eye-catching is that these horses are like
The Zhaoye Jade Lion generally has no variegated color at all, and its entire body is also snow-white...
On a slightly raised hillside, now not only the chief officer of the Royal Horse Supervisor of the Qi Dynasty, but also the supervisors of all the horse herding courtyards under his rule were in charge. Huangfu, who reported the matter of raising horses, looked at him with his eyes and looked around.
After that, she couldn't help but reach out and stroke the thick, yellow beard under his chin, which turned slightly purple under the sunlight, and nodded with satisfaction.
Although a unique BMW can be encountered but cannot be sought, no matter what kind of bad horse or fierce horse, it is still a viviparous child. After Huangfu Duan, who was praised as an unrivaled heirloom art, An Ji years of purple beard has magical power.
The uncle worked hard, and with the strong official support of the Qi Dynasty, he collected the best horses in the world as a breeding horse, and then the purple-bearded uncle and some of the confidants he trained personally bred, delivered, fed, diagnosed and treated, and with time, he also
Finally, an achievement has been achieved that can enable "mass production" of some excellent horses that were originally selected from a thousand miles...
Although Huangfu Duan, who deserves the most credit, worked hard, he, a horse madman, was able to get along with the world-famous BMW day and night, and he was also able to engage in his favorite job. Not only was he able to concentrate on it, but according to the words of later generations, he had a happy face all day long.
Full of happiness.
Suddenly, a burst of hoofbeats came, reaching Huangfu Duan's ears. He nodded and murmured in praise: "The sound of hoofbeats is so loud, it is indeed a good horse...", while turning his head to look around.
In the past, he was looking at the grandson of Chang Shun, Bian Que, who was in charge of horse herding and horse raising in Xiaotang. Chang Boda, who is now his deputy in the Royal Horse Prison, and several horsemen came to urge the horses.
.
When they arrived in front of Huangfu Song, Chang Boda and several horsemen quickly dismounted from their horses and reported loudly: "Brother Huangfu, I have already looked at those horses in the south field, and it is just as my husband said."
In the past, the Song Dynasty was only in harmony with the West, and the state was also the West Horse, which was the highest among all the states. Gai was born in Zihe branch and had many good breeds, but his hoofs were thin and diseased. Fortunately, the Jurchen horses were transferred from Liaodong.
, it is enough to transport it to various military brigades and fill up military supplies."
"Yes, although the Song Dynasty also implemented horse administration in the past, the number of male and female foals raised in various pastures under the rule was only 27 or 27. This was all because the horses liked the high cold and were not benefited by the Yan method, so they had to be used secondarily.
Although they are good, they have never been as abundant as the Northern Dynasty's war horses. But now our country has widely occupied Hetao, Damo, Yanyun, Liaodong... and other places, which are beneficial to setting up herding supervisors to raise horses for use by our cavalry...
..And I have also informed Brother Duan Jingzhu and asked him to transport a large number of war horses tamed by the Mengwu Shiwei tribe when he travels to the Anbei Protectorate again.
After all, although the desert horse is short in stature and unattractive in appearance, it also has a large head, short neck, broad chest, long mane, thick skin and thick hair, and a strong body. It is also cold-resistant, can withstand rough feeding, and is easy to gain weight. Based on previous considerations,
From the perspective of those war horses, desert horses are different according to their respective habitats. Some are well-proportioned, have short and sloping legs, small but very hard hooves, and are good at walking on mountain roads (the Mongolian horse is a hundred-cha iron-hoofed horse). Some are chestnut-colored.
, although they are small, they are good at walking on sandy ground (Wu Shen horses). Some have an arched body, wider and sloping legs, strong four hooves, broad shoulders and a broad chest. Therefore, they are not only long-lasting but can also charge in short distances (
Wuzhumuqin horses), some of which are also suitable for herding in Yanyun and Jibei, transporting various horse armies, and being used for fighting and killing in various terrains. They will also be of great use in long-distance expeditions in the future...
..."
Huangfu Duan spoke in a long voice, then suddenly smiled and said: "Haha, when it comes to the art of horse-drawing, I can't help but change my habit of talking at length...Brother Boda, I respect my grandfather recently.
Are you still well?"
After hearing this, Chang Boda nodded and said: "Brother, you are interested. My father-in-law has been doing great work in managing horses all year round. In that year, he also suffered from the clan Li horse epidemic, which caused a large number of Tiefutu war horses commanded by Wanyan Wushu of the Jin Army to fall and collapse.
For his contribution to helping our army achieve a complete victory, His Majesty granted him the title of Marquis of Guangchan, and also gave him a golden crown, a python robe, and a jade belt. In recognition of his great achievements, he was given peace and happiness. Although he was old, he could not bear to be idle for a long time, so he often traveled to the countryside.
He heals animals for the people, and his body and bones are very strong...My brother just said that we, the horse supervisors, officials, and horse herders must also pay attention to raising desert horses for use in long-distance expeditions in the future...I must be referring to Yumen Pass and Yang Pass.
The vast western territory to the west?
Sima Wenzhenggong of the Song Dynasty also once said: Dawan horses are known to everyone in ancient times, and Qinghai dragon bones are even more amazing... Since ancient times, horses have appeared in the Western Regions. Not only my father-in-law often talks about them, but I also yearn for them. I will go to court if I wish.
If we can really make progress towards the west and restore the western territory of the Han family in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, my brother and I will surely have the opportunity to go to the Western Regions in person to inspect the established horse supervisor Muyuan and tame the good horses. We will also be able to accompany the unique horses in the Western Regions day and night, right?
"
After hearing this, Huangfu smiled and stroked his beard, with a look of leisurely fascination on his brows. He looked to the west again, and said in a long voice: "Yes, one day, whether it may be earlier or later, it will eventually happen."
