"This is the truth. I always feel like something can't be done right!"
Li Yannian didn't know what to say. He always felt that this loophole could not be exploited.
"Okay, why don't you just follow me to receive Song Hai later?"
The Beidian Wanhu Mansion, as the highest military institution responsible for the northern region of the Wu Dynasty, naturally had its own system.
The commander is the Marquis of Yu, and the commander and the Marquis of Yu form the absolute core.
There are seven subordinate squads, each squad directly commands Qianqi, and the commander of the squad, and the Yuhou of the squad, liaise with the soldiers and horses of the seven counties, and jointly inspect the borders of each county. The divisions below the squad are informed, the deputy commander is informed, and the patrol squad is at the third level. They correspond to the Hundred Households, Deputy Hundred Households, and General Flag respectively, but their authority is heavier than that of ordinary military attachés, and troops at the same level can be directly deployed.
In addition, there are three divisions and seven rooms, which are responsible for the large and small official affairs of the Northern Palace, troop mobilization, logistics support and other functions.
Among them, Yuhou directly oversees the Yuhou Division of the North Palace, which is equivalent to the chief steward of the entire North Palace. At the same time, he is responsible for the intelligence work of the Documents Division.
For Song Hai to be able to take up this position, you don't need to think about it to know that he is not a simple person.
…
After a while, a cup of tea had just been brewed, and Song Hai and his party walked into the main hall under the leadership of Li Chenyun.
"Master Song, welcome!"
Fang Fang greeted him with a smile on his face.
As for Song Hai, he was also polite, saying "Sorry for bothering him" and introducing the two people he brought to Fang Fang.
"We are not reliable anymore. It would be a waste to keep the Qinke War Horse in your hands. As early as thirty years ago, our palace had intended to form a heavy armored knighthood with all the Qinke War Horse as the core. Currently, it has been approved Through various means, we have collected more than 680 Qinke war horses, most of which are second- and third-generation war horses. Why don't you come here to beg for help?" Song Hai was very straightforward, obviously not wanting to delay even a little bit.
Everyone likes good things. If you miss a good horse like Qinke War Horse, you will really miss it.
Otherwise Song Hai would not have visited on the same day he rushed back to Shangqu City.
"As soon as the news came back, we knew that Qin Ke's war horse could not be kept, and we could not keep it!"
"You can't say what you say, why do you say it as if we are bullying others!"
Song Hai, who knew whether to bully or not, made a haha, "Old rules, I don't know if Master Fang wants money or military honors? We are all doing things for the Wu Dynasty, so we can talk about anything!"
Diligent war horses are not easy to come by in the horse market, but powerful men from all sides have always had them. They are not for rebellion, but just to improve their own unique war horses so that future generations can ride better war horses onto the battlefield and strengthen their strength. The survival rate of offspring on the battlefield.
Don’t underestimate that little improvement!
In the encounter that had just come into contact with the grassland, Wu Qiong led two hundred men and horses, and among the fifty men born in Jinwuwei, except for one person who was unlucky and died on the spot, the rest were slightly injured, and the serious injuries that were approaching were also injured in order to save others.
The reason for this result is the difference in equipment.
The same leather armor, one is made from three-year-old cowhide from the Ministry of Industry, and the other is made from ten-year-old cowhide specially forged by various companies. Silver threads are sneaked into it during the sewing process, and crocodile skin is embedded in key parts. How do you compare?
There are also war horses. The war horses of the descendants of honorable nobles all grow together from the time of foals. The man and the horse have long been integrated into one. Unlike ordinary cavalry, war horses are all distributed. As the riding skills improve, they are constantly exchanged for stronger war horses. It is difficult to have the same mind. This small problem can be a matter of life and death on the battlefield.
The secrets are usually not revealed, but revealing them will save lives.
In order to improve the survival chances of future generations on the battlefield, all capital is invested wildly.
Under this background, who wouldn't want to use Qinke war horses for breeding? Even if the war horses end up in the hands of Wanhu Mansion in the North Palace, can Song Hai refuse the request of the powerful men below for breeding?
"Money and work, just give them as you see fit. We have prepared the seventy Qinke war horses. When you go out, just send someone to find Xia Heng and take them away!"
It's better to have your father and mother than to have it yourself. Fang Fang chose to keep the war horse for everyone's consideration and for his own consideration.
Following the topic, Song Hai wanted to agree, but he didn't want to be pushed.
"Seventy horses?"
"Yes! Seventy horses, what's the problem?" Fang Fang blinked.
He had no intention of hiding it in the first place, and Fang Fang looked very decent at this moment, with no trace of guilty conscience at all.
"This is wrong. If I remember correctly, you should have one hundred and eighty diligent horses!" Song Hai looked serious, but he was cursing in his heart.
When you encounter a good thing, it is abnormal not to swallow it, but this swallowing is a bit too much.
Swallowing one hundred and ten war horses, what do you want to do?
Create a private heavy cavalry?
Fang Fang spread his hands, "I've never been a soldier, and I've never seen any war horses. I can't tell whether a war horse is good or bad. I only heard what others said about the merits of Qinke's war horse. Brothers agreed, and everyone wanted it. Isn't this half the problem? Everyone is happy, but they just didn't expect you, Mr. Song..."
"Why!"
A long sigh!
The steps are given to you, but Song Hai himself can't get down. High-quality war horses are top resources in the Wu Dynasty, and they are not strategic resources. There is a lot of room for operation.
Song Hai's mouth twitched slightly. He thought that this trip would be met with perfunctory, but he never thought that it would be so perfunctory. Even if you say that several of the horses died due to excessive injuries, the horses' hoofs were broken, and they swallowed two or three Ten horses, and then everyone was talking about compensation for military merit, and the matter passed.
Facing Song Hai's eyes, he just sat there and looked at himself quietly, not saying anything, just looking. The equations he looked at inevitably made him feel a little guilty, but how could he be timid at this time?
If you look at me, I will stare at you!
If you look at me again, I will glare at you again!
Come on, let’s hurt each other!
Qinke War Horse, Huang An and the others need it, but don't they need Equation? He will establish logistics later.
A Mongolian horse can only pull five or six stone, but the retired Qinke horse can pull eighty-nine stone. It seems that the difference is only three or four stone, and the labor time cost is the same. These three or four stones are profits.
Huang An and the others are waiting to reproduce, while Fang Fang is waiting to retire.
If he missed this wave, where would he get the extra horses?
In the end, Song Hai chose to give up, "You can divide the war horses as long as you want, but the breeding..."
"No problem!" before Song Hai could speak, Fang Fang immediately agreed, "Within three years, these war horses will not leave Guangchang. We will invest in a new horse farm and welcome the military to breed them!"
The average lifespan of horses in other worlds is about twenty-five or six years. The best age for military horses to enter the post is generally between three and twelve years old, which exactly covers the nine years from when new soldiers join the army to when they retire.
Under normal circumstances, as long as retired captains are capable, they will choose to take their war horses home with them when they retire.
Among them, war horse breeding is also a must-learn subject.
"This batch is all adults over four years old. They can be matched this year. I need at least half of the share!"
The estrus period of war horses is very short, only one week before and after. In order not to harm the war horses, the breeding frequency is not too high. It only lasts sixteen or seventeen times a week, two to three times a day. In addition, the success rate is not high, one horse If a high-quality stallion is bred in a year, there will only be three or four horses.
"Okay, our two families are close together. If there is news, I will send someone to notify the North Palace directly!" Fang Fang said with a smile.
It's really perfect.
All Qinke's war horses fell into the hands of Beidian. Fang Fang and the others needed to be bred, and Song Hai was asked not to mention it. The number of breedings in a single time would not be too many.
Unlike now, when the situation is reversed, the initiative is in their hands. They can match as much as they want, and Song Hai still has to thank him.
