In the Central Plains, the horse policy of the empire is based on policy support, and the private voluntary breeding is the mainstay, and the effect is much better than the official forced promotion, because now the people's demand for horses is huge, the price of horses is rising day by day, and raising horses is profitable.

After the synthesis of many circumstances, it also made Jeju Island, the former Mongolian sea horse farm, now also become the sea horse farm of the Tang Dynasty, unlike the Mongolians who directly enclosed the land to raise horses regardless of the life and death of the locals, so that the local people could not grow food and starved to death, the Tang Dynasty was still more merciful.

They gathered all the locals together and arranged for them to emigrate to Luzon!

Whether it was before or now, the islands of Luzon are very short of people, the land is fertile, in addition to the natives, there are many kinds of germs and pests, so the death rate of immigrants is a little higher, and it is a good place!

As for how high the mortality rate of immigrants is, you ask?

The official report of the Tang Dynasty Daily is only one percent, which is not worth mentioning! Only one in a hundred will die, which is less likely than walking and falling!

What, you don't believe?

Believe it or not, I believe it anyway!

But then again, if these immigrants were able to put down roots in Luzon, they would be able to live a better life than they had been on Jeju Island with the large tracts of free land they had been given and the favorable climatic conditions in the area.

Now a few years have passed, Jeju Horse Farm is also gradually developing into the most valued horse farm by the army, not only is it far from overseas, as long as there is the Tang Navy, then it can ensure absolute security, and at the same time, the geographical isolation can also make the breeding of horses easier, at least there is no need to worry about the occurrence of inexplicable uncontrollable hybridization, resulting in a decline in the quality of horses.

As a result of these excellent conditions, the number of horses grazing in Jeju Horse Farm is not large, but the quality is the highest, and all of them are Northwest horses.

The so-called Northwest horses do not actually refer to the original horses in the Northwest, but to the descendants of the Tang Empire after the use of Central Asian horses and Mongolian horses!

According to the judgment of the perverts of the Medical Department of the Royal Institute of Technology, the Central Asian horses introduced by the Tang Empire should actually be many different types of horses, and the Central Asian horse is just a general term.

But they all have a characteristic, that is, they generally have Arabian blood, and some of them still retain a lot of Arabian horse blood, so that they are generally tall and have strong sprinting ability, but they have poor endurance and are troublesome to raise.

Today's Central Asian horses, in fact, as a riding military horse is already good, the Tang Empire from the introduction of many Central Asian horses, selected for breeding and breeding of Central Asian horses, generally with more Arabian horse blood, the general shoulder height can reach more than 1.43 meters, excellent can even reach more than 1.48 meters, to some extent, this is a close relative of the Arabian horse, but also retains some of the characteristics of local horses in Central Asia.

This kind of Central Asian horse bred after screening is no longer a general term, but a horse breed, which can be regarded as a preliminary meeting of the cavalry riding horse needs of the Tang Army.

But the army always wants better horses, and they also want horses with better endurance and easier feeding.

They say that these Central Asian horses today are large, and their short-distance sprint ability is indeed good, and they are the best horses for the military to ride, but this kind of horse is too poor in adaptation to the climate, and at the same time very delicate, and the feeding cost is high and troublesome.

Subsequently, with the support of the Department of Medicine of the Royal Institute of Technology of the Tang Dynasty, well, the ghost knows how these perverts who study medicine still know how to crossbreed horses, anyway, they are now engaged in the technical support of the horse administration of the entire Tang Empire.

In order to ensure the purity of the horse breed and prevent the original inferior horses in the horse farm, and even some unqualified Central Asian horses were introduced, the military directly requisitioned or transferred all the suitable horses in the horse camp to other places for breeding.

They found the best stallions and mares that could be found from this batch of Central Asian Mali and Mongolian Mali for cross-breeding, and then these crossbred horses were called Northwest horses, and after initial breeding, they were sent to other government-run horse farms in China for breeding.

Of course, the number of newly bred northwest horses is still small, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the military and even the civilian population in a short period of time, so many horse farms in China continue to breed Mongolian horses and even southwest horses.

Although they bred the Northwest horses, in fact, they mainly breed, breed and improve the Central Asian horses, and now they have introduced purebred Arabian horses, breeding and breeding purebred Arabian horses at the same time, and further improving the performance of Central Asian horses.

However, Jeju Horse Farm has become the only horse farm in Korea that focuses on breeding, breeding, and improving Northwest horses.

This kind of northwest horse, successfully retained most of the size of the Central Asian horse, the general shoulder height can reach about one meter four when adult, slightly shorter than the Central Asian horse, but not too short, the excellent one can reach about one meter four or five.

But more importantly, this horse has much better endurance than the Central Asian horse, and although it is still more troublesome to feed, it is also slightly stronger than the original Central Asian horse.

But the feeding trouble and the size is slightly shorter than the Central Asian horse, which is nothing in front of its advantages, after all, the previous Central Asian horse feeding is also troublesome, but the Tang Army is not desperate to breed Central Asian horses, and then use them to form cavalry.

Nowadays, on the basis of the Central Asian horse, it also incorporates the long-distance endurance of some Mongolian horses, which is very suitable for the current military.

This kind of horse, for the current Tang Empire, is very useful, can barely be used as a heavy cavalry riding horse, can be used as a light cavalry riding horse, can be used as an artillery horse, can be used as a transport troop horse, can also be used as a pack horse, basically can do anything, although each is not too good, but can be used, it can be regarded as a jack-of-all-trades horse.

The cavalry of the Tang Empire, although there are also heavy cuirassiers, but the number is too small, the main body of the cavalry of the Tang Empire is light cavalry, and the light cavalry does not have too much demand for the size of the war horse, but the demand for long-distance endurance is greater.

Of course, this demand is not big, it means that no matter what, you have to have a shoulder height of 1.4 meters, and those Mongolian horses of 1.23 meters are obviously unqualified.

Then there are a large number of service horses, and the northwest horses can also do it!

Under the combination of each other, the current army of the Tang Empire attaches great importance to the northwest horse, otherwise, it will not allow several large horse farms in the country to be cultivated at the same time.

Jeju Horse Farm is the largest and most professional horse breeding and breeding farm in the northwest.

As for the Damaying Horse Farm, their focus is on the breeding of Central Asian horses, and at the same time they are trying to breed a new generation of better horses.

Northwest horses, Central Asian horses, as well as Mongolian horses, southwest horses, plus Arab horses, it can be said that the current Tang Empire is a very large number of types of horses, tall, short, explosive, and endurance.

If it is a horse for heavy cuirassiers, it must be a high-headed horse with strong explosiveness.

Under such high requirements, in fact, the Central Asian horses commonly used by the Datang heavy cavalry are actually a little worse, and the general shoulder height of the Central Asian horses is one meter four three, but the idea of the Datang Army is that the passenger horses of the heavy cavalry are more ideal to reach the shoulder height of more than one meter five, and it would be better if they could have a shoulder height of one meter five and five.

It's just a pity that the ideal is very beautiful, and the reality is even more cruel, the current Central Asian horses of the Tang Empire cannot meet such requirements, even if it is a pure-blooded Arabian horse, only a few excellent horses can reach one meter five.

As for one meter five or five shoulder height, don't think about it.

Northwest horses, it is even more reluctant, the general shoulder height of the northwest horse only reaches one meter four, but a small number of excellent horses can also reach one meter four five, there is really no way, can only let the heavy cavalry reduce the weight of the equipment, so that this part of the few excellent northwest horses can barely be used as a cuirassier riding horse, but the effect is definitely not good.

If it is a light cavalry horse, it needs a certain size and explosiveness, endurance and easy to raise or something, and it also needs to have a little bit of requirements, because the demand is too large, and the cost of breeding and feeding cannot be too high, so that the newly bred Northwest horse is more suitable, and the performance and cost are more comprehensive, although they are not good.

Although the Central Asian horse is a little more expensive, it can also be used, but the comprehensive cost performance is not as good as the Northwest horse.

However, if we look at the ideal standard proposed by the Army, the Central Asian Mana is not enough, and the ideal standard proposed by the Army is that the shoulder height needs to reach 1.45 meters, and if there is a shoulder height of 1.5 meters, it is better.

This is basically an extravagant hope, only a few excellent horses in Northwest Mali can meet the minimum requirements, as for the ideal requirement of 1.5 meters, it can only be a few excellent Arabian horses, not Central Asian horses.

If it is a military horse, the army does not put forward too strict ideal requirements, basically just a horse.

Therefore, the military thinks that Mongolian horses are more suitable, with excellent endurance, easy feeding, low cost, and are most suitable for doing dirty work.

As for saying that the strength of the horse is a little smaller, it can't be pulled, just use a few more.

Northwest horses can also be used, but it is a bit wasteful to use them as service horses, and the comprehensive cost performance is lower than that of Mongolian horses.

If it is fighting in mountainous areas such as the southwest, it is more suitable to use the southwest horse for logistics service, because although this kind of horse is short, it is too powerful to climb mountains and wade through water, and its endurance is equally strong, and it is also adapted to the climate of the south.

The specific environment and combat needs are different, and the demand for horses is also different, which is why all kinds of horses in the Tang Empire have been bred on a large scale.

The Datang Army is still not very satisfied with the above-mentioned horse breeds, especially for riding horses, they hope to get a kind of horse with a shoulder height that can generally reach more than one meter and five five, strong explosiveness, good endurance, easy to raise, cold resistance, heat resistance, can go to high altitude, can also be used at low altitude, and it is best to take into account the horse of riding and support!

Therefore, in recent years, the army has not given up collecting all kinds of horse sources, especially after learning from foreigners that there are relatively tall horses in Western Europe and North Africa, they are entrusting Datang Western Company to find a way to introduce stallions and mares from North Africa and Europe, and prepare for cross-breeding.

But even if they get horses from Europe and North Africa to breed, don't expect to get their ideal war horses, that thing doesn't exist for the time being, at least not for the next few hundred years!

It's really time for the development of technology to breed this kind of super war horse, it is estimated that the tanks will be eliminated at that time, and what kind of cavalry are you playing!
