"When will the veterinarians in China arrive?" Rain Village?? King Zulu's voice was full of anxiety. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of the king's agitation, his ministers looked at each other, and there was really no way to answer immediately. The Zulu system was much more advanced than that of other black tribes, but it had its limits. The so-called ministers basically followed the old system of the previous tribal army, and the leaders of the tribes who came here were all the heads of the tribes. It would be too difficult for these Zulu bigwigs to know how to treat horses of "alien species". And at the moment, the only thing that can be counted on is probably only Chinese veterinarians.

"Right now! Send someone to the Chinese immediately and ask them to send a veterinarian immediately. If the horses are so thin, how many more horses will die? "In the face of a group of ministers who are incapable of solving problems, Yucun?? Zulu exclaimed.

Horses are good creatures, they can run fast and pull carts. The Boers relied on cavalry to defeat the Zulus, and in the face of those elusive Boer cavalry, the Zulus who ran on two legs really couldn't deal with it. Later, the Zulu response changed to "If you have a horse, I have to have a horse!" I have more horses than you! ”

"Is there anything you can do now?" Rain Village?? Zulu continued to ask his men. In fact, he also knows that the Chinese are hundreds of miles away, and even if the Chinese rush over, many horses that have become sick and begin to diarrhea will probably not last long. Since the implementation of this policy of self-reliance and abundance, their horse breeding experience has taught them that it is more difficult to serve horses than people. Even if you are sick, you can rely on your memories to point out what you have eaten wrong. Until now, horses have not been able to communicate with humans on such a deep level. It is too slow and too slow to accumulate knowledge through experience.

"Your Majesty, let us ask if any of the captured Englishmen know how to raise horses?" The Zulu minister finally came up with a solution.

"The British weren't killed?" Rain Village?? Zulu was somewhat surprised. This battle was also a blessing to the Chinese, who provided extremely accurate combat intelligence to the Zulu Kingdom. The British first suffered defeat at the hands of the Boers, and the British, who suffered heavy losses, had to retreat. The 60,000 Zulus, armed with rifles and artillery, had already been prepared, and they launched a surprise attack on the British Army with superior forces based on the intelligence provided by China.

After a full day of fighting, more than 10,000 Britons were wiped out by 60,000 Zulus. The route of the march provided by the Chinese was very accurate, and a mixed force of infantry and cavalry passed through the rugged mountain road, seizing the high ground at their highest speed, cutting off the escape route of the British. In such a bloody battle, the Zulus suffered heavy casualties. So when the British collapsed, all the news came to the rain village?? The Zulu king here is all the news of how many heads the Zulu soldiers killed the British. So Rain Village?? The Zulu king could not believe that there were still British prisoners.

"Your Majesty, we did capture some of the British, but not in large numbers." The minister did not know what the king was thinking, so he could only speak ambiguously.

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, go ask immediately!" Rain Village?? Zulu shouted at them.

The ministers who have gone out one after another mean that these people probably have captives, Yucun?? The Zulu king didn't care too much either. Capturing white people was a rare thing for the Zulus, and keeping some white people as slaves was interesting for the Zulus.

But think about it, Rain Village?? Zulu felt that he could not spare these men so easily, so he called his attendant and ordered: "Tell these people that if the white men can't cure our horses, let the white men bury our horses." ”

Looking at the attendant who walked out quickly, Yucun?? King Zulu rested his elbows on the battle table, his brow almost furrowed. Before completing this war, Amamura felt that victory was everything. It was really his turn to win the war, and he felt that things were very wrong. Having worked on a dock in the Chinese province of Madagascar, Yucun has experienced first-hand the huge difference between an industrial nation and a Zulu kingdom.

There are several departments in just one dock, especially the medical department that treats the sick and wounded. Yucun also noticed that even the medical department, which has only about 30 people, is divided into two specialties: doctors and nurses. After China recruited Yumura, he finally had a chance to ask what exactly this design meant. Yumura still remembers the surprised look of the Chinese at the time, but the Chinese still explained at the time. The doctor's purpose is to determine the symptoms, develop a medical plan, and carry out treatment actions. Nurses, on the other hand, care for patients according to the direction of treatment proposed by the doctor.

Yucun didn't understand any of this, but after this day, Yucun felt the difference between a civilized country like China and an African tribal country. It's not just that the Chinese can create a lot of things that Yucun can't think of, but that the two countries look at the world from different angles and solve problems in completely different ways.

An example is in front of us, where every large-scale cavalry dispatch by the Zulus, who lacked experience in horse breeding, resulted in a large number of horse deaths. Raising horses requires a considerable amount of manpower and material resources, and if cavalry cannot be dispatched on a large scale, victory in the war cannot be guaranteed. And the massive loss of horses caused by the large-scale dispatch of cavalry made the cost of the war extremely expensive, and the Zulus really could not withstand such losses.

The victory in the battle raises too many questions, except for the wine obtained from the Chinese, Yumura?? The Zulu kings didn't have many realistic ways to boost the morale of their warriors. There's not much left of fine wine from China's Gem Liquor Company. The victory came so fast and so big that the consumption of alcohol greatly exceeded that of Rain Village?? The imagination of King Zulu.

In addition to these immediate problems, the long-term problems are also enormous. Chinese can complete the reward to their subordinates by paying money, and after getting Chinese banknotes, they can go to Chinese stores to buy various products. Eat, drink, use. When Yucun was living at the Chinese docks, he found that if he had enough money, he could even buy those beautiful houses and own his own residence.

The Zulus don't have any of these things, they don't even talk about currency, and the Zulu family concept doesn't accept the Chinese model. The basic social structure of the Zulu people is the clan, which consists of a number of father-to-son families, each with its own land and livestock, each headed by an older man. The patriarch has a high level of authority, so the Zulu people can be called the patriarchal system. Marriage is polygamous, and the wives and concubines in each house are strictly ranked according to seniority, headed by the mother of the heir of the family. Transfer marriage (i.e. the widow must marry the brother of the deceased husband).

According to Yucun's observations, the social system of the Chinese is completely different from that of the Zulus. Although it is not very clear, what Yumura can be sure of is that there are no clans in China, and the Chinese emperor seems to have a great hatred for this organizational model. The Chinese are a simple small family model, a family with only parents and children, and the children leave the family to stand on their own when they become adults. Yucun felt that China's social population was too large and the social structure was super complex, which the Zulu Kingdom simply could not compare. However, the family structure in China is so simple that it can only be described as fragile in the eyes of the Zulu people.

Now let the rain village?? Zulu was troubled by the Zulu family model, and he even had to temporarily prevent his high-ranking officials from having the opportunity to talk about post-war rewards with the issue of horses. For a society with a clan situation, how rewards are distributed is of course a big deal, which often leads to fierce struggles within the clan. However, when the various clans demanded rewards from the king, they were particularly greedy.

In order not to let such a problem erupt immediately, Rain Village?? The Zulu king could only use the question of horses that everyone thought was more suitable as an excuse. And now he can see that these Zulus have captured so many British prisoners, it must not be that they can't kill these British, but these people expect to squeeze more out of the British. After the end of the war, the battlefield was cleaned, and indeed a lot of things were cleaned, British clothes, weapons, ammunition, and even some British currency.

However, this was not a particularly gratifying trophy for the Zulus, who needed land, land that they could cultivate and manage. As long as there is land, King Rain Village?? Zulu was able to reassure his men. For decades, the Zulu people had taken away their once meadows and water from the whites, making life worse and worse in the Zulu Kingdom.

After asking many Europeans and some Chinese, Yucun?? Zulu found that the European states and the Chinese states seemed to be diplomatically establishing their territories. This ensures that the territory of States is not easily violated. The reason why the envoy was sent to Europe was also because of the rain village?? Based on the information he had received, Zulu considered the result that if the Zulu Kingdom could be recognized by the European nations, then the European countries would also recognize the Zulu lands.

It's in the rain village?? As thoughts flashed through the Zulu King's mind, the attendant walked in briskly, "Your Majesty, those Boers have retreated!" ”

"What?" Amamura was very surprised by this news, he was originally going to fight the Boers when attacking the British army, but he never expected the Boers to retreat.

"Yes, our scouts see that the Boers have indeed retreated. They marched in the direction of Johannesburg with their whole army and did not leave any troops. The attendants were also very pleased, and the Boers were naturally full of confidence in the face of the British, who had won and lost, and now had another big victory. And when facing the Boers, the Zulus were bound to lose almost every battle, and the shadow of decades accumulated, and the Zulus were of course more worried about the Boers.

"We ...... Also retreated. "Although I know that after I go back, I will have to face my subordinates who ask for a share of the work, Yucun?? Zulu still made a judgment. There is no point in throwing troops on such a wasteland. Even for the sake of victory in the war, the Zulu army needed to return to their bases. What's more, the coastal tribes have been instigated by the British, and after the defeat of the British, the Zulu army can still sweep these coastal tribes, and seizing the land of these tribes is a real benefit.
