When it comes to famous horses in ancient times, Chinese people subconsciously think of the sweat-blooded BMWs of Central Asia, but this is not the case in Europe. When it comes to BMWs, the first choice is the purebred Arabian horse.
In fact, both sweat horses and Arabian horses are a type of hot-blooded horse, and this hot-blooded horse breed is a representative of speed. It has amazing sprinting ability and the most important thing is that it is beautiful.
Yes, the Arabian horse is the ancestor of almost all the famous horses in Europe. The British thoroughbred horse, Andalusian horse, Hanoverian horse, Tsarist Russia's Don hippopotamus...these well-known famous horses actually have Arabian horse genes in their blood vessels.
It was the strong rise of Christianity in the Middle Ages that allowed Arabian horses to flow into Europe and hybridize with local horse breeds to form various unique horse breeds.
No matter what era, even in the 21st century when Xiao Letian lived in his previous life, owning a purebred Arabian horse has always been a privilege that only the top wealthy families can enjoy.
In that era, you might be able to afford a multi-million dollar car, but a purebred BMW was really not something that ordinary rich people could afford.
The same was true in the 19th century. Only high-ranking nobles in Europe could own such famous horses, let alone the far East. Only Xiao Letian, a wealthy guy, purchased a batch from the Arabian region through various connections. It was given to a senior Chinese military officer.
If a half-year-old child can ride such a majestic Arabian horse, then his identity will be revealed. Chu Zhao, the commander of the first division who was commanding at the front, only took one look and was so shocked that he sweated.
"Your Majesty! Why did he go to the front line... The guard company was dispatched immediately to protect His Majesty when he came back!"
Chu Zhao's anxious voice changed. Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty ran to the front line and was chased by the enemy. If something went wrong, it would be a huge event that would cause the world to collapse.
The division headquarters has always been guarded by a company of guards. At this moment, they no longer care about protecting the division commander. These veterans jumped on their horses like crazy. More than a hundred people rolled up a snow dragon on the ground and went straight to meet them.
"Your Majesty! Go this way...the second and third rows, rush towards the enemy, harass them from a distance, and lure the enemy away..."
Zai Chun's face turned red from the cold, and his nose was dripping with mucus, but he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. "Don't worry about them. I have set an ambush for the enemy. Just wait and see the show..."
The guard company commander led his people to surround Zai Chun and stretched out his hand to avoid the reins. "Your Majesty, why are you here? And you... how did you protect you! Let's go, leave right away..."
"I won't leave. I want to be on the front line in person. I want to watch you kill the enemy...my trap hasn't worked yet!" Zai Chun struggled to break out. The famous black horse under his crotch was much taller than the surrounding horses. One end, bumping back and forth impatiently.
At this time, there was a loud sound of horse hooves in the woods on the west bank of the river, and the enemy finally caught up.
Bang, bang, bang... there were blazing bullets everywhere, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo... beast-like howls could be heard endlessly. The fast horses in the jungle were as fast as lightning. In front of them, the open ice surface and the plain position on the opposite side were clear. Visible.
"Catch up! Those riding big horses must be high-ranking officials! Capture them alive..." There was a pop, and the second half of the sentence was gone. I saw blood spurting out from a red line on the neck of this arrogant cavalry, and soon his head followed. It rolled to the ground like a ball.
The war horse didn't even know that its master was dead, and kept charging forward while carrying the headless body.
The traps in the woods suddenly came into play, and the cavalry seemed to have encountered the sharp blades of ghosts and gods out of thin air. Either their heads were cut open, their chests were cut open, and their horses' hoofs were cut off.
The whole forest was wailing, and Zai Chun in the distance screamed excitedly, "My trap! That's the trap we set..."
Zai Chun is the real enemy of Xiao Letian. The most disobedient of all the disciples is this little guy. Just now in the headquarters, he clamored for Xiang Shaolong to give him a gun. He was going to supervise the team to shoot those who disobeyed the command. officer.
As a result, Xiao Letian was scolded and scolded, but he never expected that this scoundrel did not return to the Zhiyuan at all. Instead, he secretly infiltrated toward the front line along the edge of the city with a platoon of guard soldiers.
At this time, we have to mention the special identity of Zai Chun. Emperor Tongzhi actually asked Xiao Letian to kidnap Chun out of the Forbidden City. In order to take Chun out of the palace, Xiao Letian even used a hot air balloon that had never been seen before in the Qing Dynasty. Appeared in front of the entire Forty-Nine City people.
To put it bluntly, he used almost miraculous means to force the superstitious officials and people to bow their heads and had to accept the reality of Zai Chun studying abroad. Of course, he was also deterred by the strong combat power of the New Army.
Although Zai Chun was taken away, the court would not ignore Zai Chun. The four eunuchs and four guards were all carefully selected. Later, there were still 300 guards who continued to leave. These are all Zai Chun's own. Private power, this student is different from other students.
Moreover, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had to pay Xiao Letian 200,000 taels of study tour expenses every year. The Qing court still wanted to have face. Although 200,000 taels was not much, it was impossible to spread rumors that Emperor Tongzhi was a freeloader.
How could Xiao Letian ask for such a small amount of money? Not only did he secretly provide Zai Chun with a large amount of military training expenses, which means that Zai Chun now has money and soldiers, and he has his own direct lineage.
These personal guards around him are Zai Chun's own small army, which received Chinese military training and security training from the CIA, but their loyalty is to the little emperor, not Xiao Letian.
At the critical moment, Zai Chun's order came true. His Majesty the Emperor said that he would not return to the Zhiyuan and would sneak to the front line. Several guards tried hard to persuade him, so they had no choice but to obey him.
When Zaichun left the city, Vladivostok was in chaos. The roads and wilderness were filled with returning soldiers and busy civilians. The messengers' fast horses were rushing back and forth, leaving no one with time for one trip after another. Talk to this group of people.
As long as Zai Chun avoided the eyes of familiar officers, especially high-ranking officers, none of the remaining low-level officers and soldiers recognized him. They thought he was a cavalry sent by the general on official business. As a result, he encountered no resistance along the way.
Many of Zai Chun's men have received training from the CIA. They have many clever ways to deal with cavalry, among which the most suitable for this war is the wire trap.
Tightrope! It’s definitely not a shoddy wire! This is special equipment imported from the United States. It has always been equipped for intelligence officers. It can open lock cylinders, strangle people's necks and assassinate people, and hang them from the beams while dripping poison... Anyway, as long as you use your imagination Wide open, this extremely thin wire has thousands of wonderful uses.
Zai Chun and his party tied this kind of steel wire between two big trees. The heights are staggered. The top can cut the head, the middle can cut the waist and abdomen, and the bottom can cut the horse's feet.
How did Zai Chun, a prodigal son, know that the steel wire they consumed in these two hours was worth 6,000 dragon-marked silver coins? This is truly worthy of His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so generous!
