Therefore, the tribe leader casually sent a small team over to check the situation. If the situation was good, they would bring them back. If the situation was bad, they would just row away.
But having said that, there are only more than a thousand Shire horses tamed by the Celts. After all, these things eat a lot. Although the Celtics have a lot of pasture, they still need to consider the cost, so there is no Be more tame.
"Yes, Your Highness." The knight commander bowed to the Pope and said that he would send someone to find out the situation.
"Speaking of which, are those domesticated horses valuable?" Although the Pope had the idea of making three poles if there were no dates, he was still a little curious about how high-end the so-called high-end war horses were.
"I haven't seen this one, but I heard from some core members who know it that it is a super horse breed with a shoulder height of almost two meters and a weight of over a ton." The knight commander said with some embarrassment. He also felt that this data was unreliable. But in order to brag, there must be a template, and it is impossible to brag blindly, so he told the Pope the data he heard.
The Pope was stunned. There were also precious horses in the Yuan family's stables. These were all tribute horses from barbarians from all over the country. Although Yuan Tan gave most of them to the generals on the front line, he still kept a dozen of them. Others don't dare to think about these war horses, but the Pope will ride them out for a walk when he is in a good mood.
Yuan Tan didn't raise any objections to this, and looked resigned. Therefore, the Pope at least knew what the shape of the war horse was. The horses in their stables were 1.7 meters tall at the withers. That's it. Tributes from local tribes.
In fact, the Yuan family in Sizhao City is really good in other aspects except being attacked by Rome. In this era, these people are all uncivilized barbarians. To say that these people are difficult to deal with, it is indeed difficult to deal with them. But he also particularly identifies with the strong.
Although Yuan Tan was an unlucky boy who was kicked out of the Han Dynasty, his current combat power is considered a powerful force that can be squeezed into one hand on earth. Naturally, the Siberian savages are no match for Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan defeated them. Later, they began to take the initiative to teach them how to reclaim wasteland and farm, change their customs, and bring these savages into a civilized society.
By now, these Siberian savages have basically recognized the Yuan family as the boss and the Han Dynasty as the boss. After all, after experiencing the warm city, they lived in a bunker in the snow. The blizzard was really unbearable, so most of these savage tribes Come to me with gifts.
High-quality wild horses are the most common gift, and Yuan Tan is willing to accept them.
"Two meters high?" The Pope's voice was a little higher. "Weighing close to a ton? Are you kidding!"
At this time, except for the Romans, who had relatively standard weights and measures, other places in Europe had ghost standards. The arrival of the Yuan family brought here the most advanced weights and measures system in the Central Plains.
However, precisely because it is a barbaric wilderness with nothing, it is quite simple to transform it. Therefore, the savages under Yuan's command now basically understand the concepts of various weights and measures, which are easy to use and often used. How can I be wrong?
"Your Highness, we are not talking nonsense. This is the conclusion I came to after asking specifically. And I think the people who know these war horses have all answered in the same way. So even if there is a gap, I'm afraid the gap is not big. We can try it. ." The knight captain said carefully.
"Very good." The Pope nodded after hearing this, "In that case, quickly arrange for a trip to Great Britain. As for those previous thieves, if they are willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, give them a chance. If not, you understand."
After the Pope's brain came online, he was still very powerful. Hearing this, the Knight Commander quickly nodded in agreement. To be honest, since the previous incident, even the Knight Commander who had no idea of betraying the Yuan family had no idea when facing the Pope. Quite cowardly.
"Okay, you go arrange the manpower and see who is willing to go mine. I'm going back first." The Pope is in a good mood. The gems will be obtained soon. What's more important is that his Celtic family is actually a bit old. Hehehe , although the pope who eats Yuan Tan every day has no pressure at all, maybe he needs to supplement a little. After all, breaking the world level is also a matter of face.
On the other side, Yong Kai looked up half dead at the gate of Sizhao City. Behind him were eighty shire horses. After several months of evaluation, the Yong family finally raised the shire horses to their peak form. Their weight exceeds one ton, and their shoulder height exceeds two meters each.
Especially after grooming, every horse looks so cool.
Then under the will of the entire family, the Yongkai family took Yongmao's detailed evaluation report and took 80 shire horses to Sizhao City where the Yuan family was located.
If this is just the case, then that's it. After the Yong family made some calculations, they felt that since the family had personally sent it to the Yuan family, in order not to bother the two masters, the family master would also send the war horses as tribute to Chang'an. Forget it.
If we calculate the time, it will be more than July when we arrive at the Yuan family, and it will be August when we reach Congling. Then we will go to the western regions and pass through Liangzhou, and finally arrive at Chang'an. It seems that we can just catch up with the great court meeting, so the elders of the Yong family thought Thinking about it, I prepared some New Year gifts in advance for Yong Kai to bring.
After all, as a prince, if you don’t go to the imperial meeting, no one will say anything to you. After all, your body is not in Chang’an, and the country will not force you to do so. Likewise, if you don’t go in body, you can just write a congratulatory document, and then hand over the ingots for the New Year’s Ceremony. , it can almost be fooled. After all, the situation in the Han Dynasty is not the same as during the reign of Emperor Wu, so we won't bother with those details.
By the way, there was a reason why Emperor Wu was so anxious that he directly paid gold to seize the title. In the fifth year of Yuanding, Emperor Wu ordered a conquest of South Vietnam. None of the Han princes responded and joined the army. Emperor Wu did not explode on the spot until the big sacrifice. Just being ruthless is enough to be considered patient.
When I was in my twenties, I would probably have shed blood on the spot for this matter.
However, there is some sense of propriety in this kind of thing. To put it simply, if you don’t go and deliver the gold, you can just write the New Year congratulations and that’s it. But now that you’ve gone, it’s not good to have empty hands. How much should you bring? Order a gift and it will look good on your face.
The elders of the Yong family all went there as usual, and they just happened to participate in the court meeting, which proved that the Yong family was still alive and singing praises was quite good.
Therefore, while tying up and sealing up the struggling and insulting head of the family, he packed various gifts into boxes and sent people to haul them away together. Fortunately, Sharma's endurance and load-bearing capacity were very terrifying, and it was difficult to drag several tons of things on a regular basis. It's all drizzle.
It was so tragic that Yong Kai was packed up and shipped away, and now that he has arrived at Sizhao City of the Yuan family, Yong Kai didn't bother to scold his mother anymore, since those who scolded his family again wouldn't hear him.
"Long time no see, Marquis Shifang." When Yong Kai entered the city, he attracted a lot of people. After all, they had all seen horses, but to be honest, I had never seen such an outrageous horse, so the gatekeeper Zhu Bao sent someone to notify Yuan Tan and hurried out to greet him.
Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Yong Kai smiled with difficulty, and then said, "General Zhu, things have been going well lately. My family has bred a number of good horses in Xinshifang. Although there are some flaws, they are far better than before. , so I sent a batch of them as stallions."
This thing is very edible, Yong Kai evaluated it. However, the Yong family has so many reserves and is afraid that the Sharma will be overwhelmed. When leaving, the Yong family leader used a big cart to pull many carts of grain and grass. Anyway, The load and endurance of this thing are terrible. It was fed all the way, so it didn't even lose fat. It looks like the most muscular horse among horses.
"Please, please." Zhu Bao looked at these tall horses and almost salivated. They were taller than him. Their tendons and body shape were all guarantees of combat effectiveness.
"Then I'll go in first." Yong Kai cupped his hands, and then led the group of horses into the city gate hole. When the people coming and going saw this thing, they all naturally gave way.
When Yuan Tan received the news, he personally came to pick up Yong Kai. After all, the Yong family was a very reliable younger brother of their Yuan family. Even if they were not strong, they had to be protected, not to mention the soldiers guarding the city gate. The head of the Yong family personally brought a group of divine horses over. Yuan Tan boasted so harshly that I felt sorry for the Yong family if I didn't come out to see them.
So Yuan Tan went out to greet him personally, and was stunned. Is this a horse? You call this a horse? Are you sure this isn't a mutant Kirin?
Especially the horse that Yong Kai rode was covered with weights all over its body. For a normal war horse, with this armor on, it would be foaming at the mouth after running a few steps, but for a Sharma horse, Even with a mere few hundred kilograms of weight, I could still reach a speed of forty kilometers per hour.
Although this speed can be easily achieved by real top war horses, let alone top war horses that have been strengthened by the essence of heaven and earth, running at this speed while wearing a load of several hundred kilograms is very outrageous, because most of them Most horses weigh as much as the armor on the horse under Yong Kai's crotch, and the horse's terrible endurance can wear this armor for a long time.
"Yehou." Yong Kai got off his horse and saluted Yuan Tan. To be honest, Yong Kai really didn't know that the Yuan family had obtained the canonization documents. He couldn't come out of his house at home, and he basically didn't receive any news from the outside, so it really wasn't Offended Yuan Tan.
As for Yuan Tan, he was really shocked at this time. When Yong Kai gave him a gift, Yuan Tan forgot to return the gift. Is this a horse? Don’t think that just because you’re covered in horsehide, I’ll think you’re a horse!
Wen on the side bumped into Yuan Tan secretly. Yuan Tan reacted and quickly returned Yong Kai's gift. Then he grabbed Yong Kai's hands with a big smile and led Yong Kai through the door. Regardless of whether he was in a trance or not, this was their Yuan family. The Yuan family is going to be in trouble. When I save 20,000 horses, I will kill your Rome. The heavy infantry defense line will restrain the cavalry? Come on, restrain yourself!
