Chapter 320: The Cavalry (4)
After walking out of the stable, Zhu Kai looked at the expressions on the faces of the two, and knew that the two were not satisfied with the situation of the stable, or the situation of the war horse, although Zhu Kai didn't care about the stable, but now the cavalry company is under Zhu Kai's management after all, so if there is a problem in the stable, Zhu Kai will also be more or less jointly responsible. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 So Zhu Kai asked, "How is it, is there anything wrong?"
Cheng Yajie shook his head and said, "We have seen every horse, and there is no disease, but there are indeed many problems in the stable, no wonder the mortality rate of war horses is so high." ”
Zhu Kai immediately asked: "What are the questions, tell me about them, let me also grow knowledge, and in the future, we will raise some horses in the naval base." ”
Cheng Yajie said: "First of all, the structure of this stable is too simple, this is the style of large-scale horse breeding, and the stable of the military horse farm should be a fully enclosed stable, at least between the stable and the stable, it should be separated by a solid wall, and each stable can raise up to 4 horses, a few particularly excellent war horses, you can also enjoy a separate stable, so that the horses do not interfere with each other, and the spread of disease can also be controlled from a certain range." And the breeds of horses here are very mixed, and a considerable part of them are horses for pulling horses, although they are mainly Mongolian horse breeds, but there are also some European horse lines and Middle Eastern horse breeds, which are much larger than Mongolian horses, but I don't have much research on horse systems, so I can't say what kind of horses it is, but it is certain that there are at least five or more horse breeds, and generally speaking, different breeds of horses should be bred separately. It is also best not to keep horses with other animals. ”
Zhu Kai nodded and said, "I have seen it for a long time, I have seen it for a long time, but this stable has been like this from the beginning, and there are only such conditions in the base." ”
Cheng Yajie said: "The stable is not a big deal, but I see that all the horses are malnourished, and more than a dozen of them have lost fat very seriously, and they need at least a month of recuperation before they can be trained, and if they are forced to train, I am afraid they will be tired on the spot." ”
After Zhu Kai heard this, he was also taken aback, and said: "So that's the case, no wonder a few days ago, when I was watching the training of the cavalry company, a horse ran well, and suddenly fell to the ground, carried it to the stable, and died that night." ”
Cheng Yajie said: "This is probably the reason for the high mortality rate of war horses, which is caused by malnutrition and improper use. ”
Zhu Kai said: "But I see that the cavalry company is feeding the horses every day, I also saw just now, there is still a lot of uneaten grass in the manger, and every two or three days, I will also give each horse an egg, and every time I feed the eggs, I am personally staring, just afraid that they will not give the horses food." Aren't eggs nutritious for horses? How can malnutrition still occur, is there not enough eggs?"
Zhao Lijun said with a smile: "Feeding the horse is full, it does not mean that the horse eats well, of course, the egg is to supplement the horse's nutrition, but the egg supplement is mainly protein, which can also be replaced by beans, but the horse is the same as people, need to absorb a variety of nutrients, protein alone is not enough, as well as calcium, phosphorus, salt, vitamins, cellulose, etc., in short, the nutrition must be balanced." As we saw just now, horse feed is basically grass, and there is a lack of enough food crops, such as barley, corn, sorghum, and beans, which should be eaten, so malnutrition will occur. And the forage should also be based on hay, if it is fresh grass, it is best to eat it on the same day, otherwise it is easy to deteriorate, in addition to the serving material and water should be fed separately, should not be mixed together, so that it is easy to cause mildew and deterioration of the serving. ”
Zhu Kai said: "My God, this is better than everyone else, but we are afraid that we don't have so much food for horses to eat, as for calcium, phosphorus, salt, vitamins, and fiber, go there and find it." ”
Cheng Yajie said with a smile: "There are ways to do this, if the food is not enough, you can give the horse wheat stalks, corn stalks, sorghum stalks, these things are okay, these foods contain vitamins and fibrous rechists, but if it is the diameter of the pole, and the hay is best cut into small pieces, which can promote the digestion of the horse, if there are carrots and potatoes, you can also feed some, grind the bones of animals or fish bones, and sprinkle them in the feed to feed the horses, you can supplement calcium and phosphorus, and also sprinkle some salt, of course, the salt can also be sprinkled in water." ”
Zhu Kai smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder ordinary people can't afford to raise horses at all." There are a lot of wheat stalks and corn stalks, but they are all burned for the canteen, and the bones and fish bones are collected by the Ministry of Agriculture, which seems to mean that when calcium fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer are used, I will make a report to the logistics department in the afternoon, and then pull out the wheat stalks and corn stalks to the cavalry company, and the bones and fish bones will also be divided into a part for you. ”
Cheng Yajie said: "Feed is only one aspect, the environment in which the horse lives is also very important, don't look at the size of the horse, but it is a very delicate and sensitive animal, the living environment is not good, it will affect the state of the horse, in a clean and clean environment, the horse will also feel comfortable." In contrast, cows and donkeys are much slower, and their tolerance for the environment is much higher than that of horses, so it is best to keep them separately, we just saw that the hygiene of the stables is good, the manure has been cleaned up very quickly, and the smell of urine is not strong, which means that it is cleaned every day, and it is washed regularly, which can be done well. ”
Finally heard the praise, Zhu Kai was also very happy in his heart, and said: "This is the discipline I set for them, the stable must be cleaned every day, and it must be cleaned with water every three days, otherwise you can smell it from afar, and people can't stand it at all." ”
Cheng Yajie then said: "However, the hygiene of the horse is very insufficient, the stable must be cleaned every day, the horse must be cleaned every day, and the horse must be brushed and combed, which is not only to relieve the blood of the horse, but also to reduce the parasites on the horse, every three or four days, it is best to give the horse a bath." ”
Zhu Kai shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said, "It's really difficult to serve whether this is raising a horse or raising an uncle." ”
Zhao Lijun said with a smile: "When I first joined the army, I didn't do anything in the first half of the year, just to learn how to feed the horses, and the war horses are the closest comrades-in-arms of the cavalry. ”
Zhu Kai nodded again and again, and said: "Sure enough, it is a professional who does professional things, we laymen really can't do it, to be honest, so many horses have died in the past two months, and we are also very anxious, now that you are here, I can also rest assured that I will hand over the horse riding company to you." ”
Zhu Kai said: "It's almost time to eat, you have basically understood the situation in the stable, I will take you to the canteen, you can take a rest after eating, at two o'clock in the afternoon, you will gather in the racecourse in front of the stable, and you will officially take over the riding company." ”
Cheng Yajie said: "Okay, arrange it this way." ”
After lunch, Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun did not rest, but discussed together what to say after meeting with the cavalry company in the afternoon, and how to arrange the future training plan.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two came to the racecourse in front of the stable on time, at this time the soldiers of the cavalry company were on the racetrack, and the three three two were scattered, and seeing Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun coming, Zhu Kai immediately ordered the whole army to assemble and line up. The soldiers immediately went into action, and in a short time, they were lined up in a neat line, and they stood tall and energetic, and it was obvious that they had undergone some rigorous training.
Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun also felt very satisfied after watching it, and after only two or three months of training, it was very good to be able to reach this level.
At this time, Zhu Kai came to the front of the queue and said loudly: "Comrades of the cavalry company, these two are Captain Cheng Yajie and Lieutenant Zhao Lijun, that is, the company commander and deputy company commander of your cavalry company. ”
After Zhu Kai finished speaking, there was a round of warm applause in the queue, in fact, the soldiers of the cavalry company have always been looking forward to the arrival of their commander, at the beginning they were all rushing to become cavalry, only came to the cavalry company, because in the Chinese concept of this era, the status of cavalry is still higher than that of infantry, but after arriving at the cavalry company, it was found that there was no commander, and could only train with the shore-based escort team, and riding and riding can only be practiced by themselves. Fortunately, after each of these soldiers enlisted in the army, they all went through strict screening and training, and they were instilled with a lot of discipline concepts, although Zhu Kai did not understand cavalry, but the military discipline requirements were quite strict, so the cavalry company can still maintain a relatively good mental outlook, and the spontaneous training is also very serious.
Now that the commander of the cavalry company is finally in place, and the cavalry company can finally get on the right track, these soldiers are naturally very happy, and the applause of welcome is also very warm.
After the applause stopped for a while, Zhu Kai said: "Next, I would like to invite Company Commander Cheng to speak to everyone." ”
Cheng Yajie took two steps forward, first saluted the queue, and said loudly: "All the soldiers of the cavalry company, hello everyone. My name is Cheng Yajie, and I will be your company commander in the future. It is a great honor that you are the first formed cavalry unit of the KPA and the first cavalry, but at the same time it is a difficult task, because you will shoulder the responsibility of building up the KPA cavalry unit for meritorious service and honor, and make the cavalry a respectable force. From today onwards, Company Commander Zhao and I will work hard with you to achieve this goal, and I also hope that you can train hard and study hard at all times under the command of me and Company Commander Zhao, fight bravely on the battlefield and kill the enemy, so that we can work together to create a brilliant cavalry army. ”
