The place where Chen Daojian, Zhang Bofu and others were located, in later generations, was also called the plain by the Japanese people, covering an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, and a large plain area had stretches of woodland, but more grassland and shrub landforms, which was also a characteristic of the time. For example, the same is true of the Eastern Domain, in the records of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties seen by later generations, the plain areas of the Eastern Domain are all patches of grassland higher than people, people and horses are in it, and there is no trace of it if it is a little farther away, just like walking in the green sea, only after the long-term development and utilization of human beings, it is gradually formed that villages, roads, farmland, and then market towns, cities, and barren plains have become places where people gather, and the original barren is gone, shrubs, grasses, and dense forests have also been cut and used by human beings one after another. Disappear into the vast expanse of land.

Now several large plains in Ezo are developed and utilized, a large area of the plains will be put into excellent horses every day, the height, weight, endurance, of these horses are strictly assessed, only height and weight, no endurance, can not run, and can not be regarded as qualified war horse seedlings, lack of function, and some horses are light and fast, height and weight are also quite good, but they can not run long distances, nor can they be used as war horses, regrettably.

The countries bought a large number of horses, and the Dutchmen Nick and Kearney and others threaded the needle in it, and also bought a large number of European horses in a detour.

Due to the vast land and sparsely populated Europe, agriculture is not as meticulous as China, but it is far beyond China in terms of harvest, especially its animal husbandry is developed, and there are some monster level horses in a large number of horses, weighing more than tons, and they are extremely tall, and they are used to pull horses and plough the land, and the efficiency is much stronger than that of ploughing cattle. In addition, sheep and cattle are also quite developed, so even if the current Great Wei is richer than Europe, in terms of dietary meat intake, Europeans are actually much stronger than the Great Wei.

There are also quite a few types of horses that are suitable for war horses, and they are also excellent breeds that have been bred over a long history. Different from the system of Huaxia, Huaxia originally also had very good war horses, but long-term castration and hundreds of years of overturning war, the quality of war horses is getting worse and worse, to the Tang Dynasty there are quite good fine horses, to the Great Wei, has been unable to form more than 50,000 cavalry, and the war horses mainly rely on the purchase, Hetao horse breeding land and northern horse grazing land are obtained by foreign races, most of their war horses are short and inferior, and can not be compared with good war horses.

In the past two years, in addition to the original more than 5,000 war horses that moved most of them to the Ezo ranch, more than 30,000 horses have been purchased one after another, which has constituted an excellent war horse population of nearly 40,000 horses.

Now in front of Chen Daojian's eyes, there is a large stable area, many mares have begun to give birth in winter, and there is a fishy smell everywhere, but Chen Daojian, an official who was born as a Confucian student, does not mind, and even has a sense of joy.

A large number of veterinarians and miscellaneous servants are busy in the stables, and no one comes to greet these high-ranking officials, which is also the rule of the shogunate, as long as there is something at hand, do not stick to etiquette, if any official does not open his eyes and use red tape to trouble the staff below, it is discovered by the people of the Department of Integrity, although it is not an illegal thing such as corruption and bribery, it will also be quite embarrassed.

Chen Daojian looked at it quite carefully, the stable was built quite solidly, the range was extremely wide, and it did quite good measures to prevent snow and wind, it was not necessary to light a fire to warm the horse, and the adaptability of the war horse should be better if it was cold that humans could endure. However, each stable is well built, and the inside is laid with layers of grass bundles, which are not only for the horses to chew and eat, but also to keep warm.

Many newborn foals just roll into the bunches of grass and are treated by a veterinarian, wiped the blood, warmed, helped to get up, and then went to suck the first sip of horse milk.

"I gave His Highness a guaranteed ticket." Chen Daojian said with satisfaction: "After five years, more than 50,000 high-quality war horses will be provided, and after ten years, 200,000 horses can be guaranteed, and within 30 years, the Ezo horse herd will exceed one million!" ”

Zhang Bofu has been promoted from a first-class official to an official official under the Ezo Sect Pastoral Division, wearing a blue robe, and at this time he is also in high spirits: "My lord, as long as you do this thing, it will be enough to be famous for eternity." Coupled with the merits of leveling, adults will definitely have a heavy stroke in the history books in the future. ”

"The future is the future, and now is to do what is at hand." Chen Daojian smiled and continued to move forward, even if the snow was knee-high, he would turn the entire ranch within a radius of hundreds of miles, spring, summer, autumn and winter, every season.

The grazing of war horses does not mean that the horse herd will be thrown away from the pasture, even if it is a northern captive, it has to do a lot of things, drive the war horse to run, build a replacement farrier, treat the horse, feed the refined horse material with various ingredients, arrange breeding according to the characteristics of the population and the horse, the number training of the foal, and the training of adult horses.

Not to mention anything else, in addition to the original plain grass area, there are many shrub areas and forest areas, which have been burned and cut down and cleared, and the boundaries have been pulled up and stables have been built...... More than 100,000 people were mobilized for these events, and the time was more than two months, and more than 60,000 government troops came over alone, and the joke spread among the top officials of the shogunate was that Chen Daojian presided over the conquest of the Japanese and used less than 50,000 land divisions, and as a result, a ranch stable was built, and the number of government troops mobilized actually exceeded the needs of the war.

It's not a joke, it's much easier to destroy than to open up and build.

After more than two years of development, the ranch has taken shape, and there is no longer a large-scale purchase of war horses, and the number of the population is almost enough. The burden of buying war horses has not been under the construction of ships in the past two years, and it is far more than the cost of the government army in peacetime. Even the planned large-scale road construction and investment in people's livelihood and welfare are not as good as the experience of buying horses.

Tens of thousands of high-grade breeds and horses, the average price is hundreds of guan, plus the cost of transportation and pasture, the money and materials consumed are simply amazing, even if the Son of Heaven's inner treasury was full, it was not enough to take it all out, but the shogunate still withstood such financial pressure and amazing expenses, and now the ranch can reach such a scale, and the pressure and burden borne by Chen Daojian are also very bearable.

As a Fujian person, he has been in the cold Ezo all the year round, and the hardships are very bearable.

But Chen Daojian's eyes were still resolute, and he did not relax at all, only when he talked about the number of tens of thousands of war horses that could be transported in a few years, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

Times have changed, and now the overall situation has been as His Royal Highness the King of Qin warned everyone back then, the Northern Expedition failed, the rogues were raging, and the ambition of Donghu was unstoppable.

Fortunately, there is a hero like King Qin who saves the world and appears, in this turbulent era, that is, King Qin can be able to use one hand to the sky and swim against the current.

It is still certain that it can share the worries of the King of Qin and the shogunate, send tens of thousands of high-quality war horses to the army within a few years, and purchase and retain them over the years.

Within ten years, the shogunate cavalry could easily exceed 100,000, which was an unprecedented number after the Great Wei, Jianguo, and the country.

Within five years, the Donghu people were driven out of the Great Wei, and within ten years, 200,000 elite land divisions, 100,000 water divisions, and 100,000 cavalry were used to defeat Donghu.

Chen Daojian stepped on the snow, the heaven and the earth were extremely cold, and it would take another month for the ice to melt, but it was still wet and cold, he walked in such a place, his body was extremely cold, but his face was smiling, even if it was ice and snow, such a scene still made him feel extremely happy!

……

"The Wei people are coming one after another, and they are almost there."

A celestial man in a white robe had a frightened face, and his body seemed to tremble slightly when he bowed to salute.

Pu Xingfeng frowned and glanced at this subordinate, half a year ago, this unpromising person would definitely be ordered by him to be pulled down and beheaded, and at least he would be whipped, but at this moment, he had no intention of punishing anyone.

Pu Xingfeng turned his head and asked another white-robed man, "How many escaped today?" ”

The white-robed man looked hateful, and said in a deep voice: "After walking more than three thousand, we sent a boat to chase after us, burned the boat three, killed more than 1,000 people, and the remaining more than 2,000 couldn't catch up, so they ran away." ”

"Said, don't be angry." Pu Xingfeng said with a tired face: "After fighting more than two thousand in a row, the more we fight, the weaker we become, the stronger the opponent is, we Tianfang people feel hard, and we can't stand it anymore, not to mention those who are already weak and incompetent!" ”

The celestial people here all nodded, even if they were at the end of the road, they still had endless arrogance on them.

The Celestial people look down on the Manchurians, of course, the Srivijaya people also look down on them, the Siamese people, and the Zhenla people, they don't look down on them either.

The Celestial people pride themselves very highly, and under their teachings, they originally despise any people outside the sect, but there are also different identities between the ethnic groups, although the Manthorn people have succumbed to the teachings of the Heavenly Side, they are still inferior people in the eyes of the real Celestial People, just an inferior race driven by them.

These Manchurian people are indeed not angry, the natives of Nanyang are really not of good quality, they just lie down and don't do things, they don't care too much about doing some farming things, and they can't do things that need to use their brains a little. It does not mean that this is the case for the entire ethnic group, and there must be excellent talents within the ethnic group, but relative to the overall base, a small number of elites is not enough to achieve anything. After a large number of Chinese people arrived in Nanyang, they mastered the economic lifeline of various countries within a hundred years, without exception, which is enough to explain the problem.

The Manchurian people originally submitted to the Great Wei, and there were no deep contradictions with the rest of the countries, but they fought with Siam for many years, and after the Tianfang people came strongly, and the Great Wei sailors retreated, the Manchurian people converted to the doctrine of Heaven and became one of the subordinates of the Son of Heaven.

Over the years, under the leadership of Pu Xingfeng, the Manchurian Thorns have also become a hegemon, but they can't win the Siamese on land, and the naval battle to the Tianfang people as helpers can not provide much combat power, with Pu Xingfeng's ability and Tianfang people as the foundation, plus a large number of high-quality warships, in the early days, they can only plunder around to strengthen themselves, and only after the strength rises they want to destroy the Three Buddhas, even if the strength is above the Three Buddhas, but the Manchu plus people are too wasteful, after so many years of fighting, the Three Buddhas still have not formed a trend of destroying the country, not to mention the actual success.

Pu Xingfeng has a multi-faceted layout, and he is not without feeling the threat of the government army and water division, the division of the economic system and the pirates of the rabble are completely different, and it is impossible for Pu Xingfeng, who is a celestial nobleman, not to have cognition. But his layout was a complete failure, Yan Qi and Liu Dan died one after another, and then the Kang family was attached, Wang Zhi was attached, and the five thieves who were rampant on the sea in the past years were left with Pu Xingfeng.

Before Pu Xingfeng woke up, the sailors of the shogunate of the Qin King of Great Wei had arrived at Lanfang and Srivijaya, and the two sides began to fight on the sea, although the battle was not big, but it was extremely fierce, both sides did not leave prisoners, but also understood that the other party would not leave their lives, every fight was the most cruel test of nerves and will, the whole ship died, the sea became a sea of blood, and every fight was extremely tragic.

The officers and soldiers of the Great Wei Mansion Military Naval Division are getting stronger and stronger, stronger and braver, and the number of Heavenly People in Pu Xingfeng is not large, and they can only survive with the support of doctrine, and a large number of Nanyang natives, whether it is the Three Buddhas, the Manchu Jia, or the Siamese, they are pirates under Pu Xingfeng, not for desperate purposes, but for plundering and enjoyment.

Among them, tens of thousands of Manchurian people are the officers and soldiers of their kingdom, or servants sent by nobles, half of the proceeds they plunder in the pirates belong to themselves, and half are handed over, even then it is quite a high income, once they encounter adversity, these miscellaneous fish have the idea of wanting to escape, in the past two years, Pu Xingfeng has dropped from more than 100,000 people at the highest time to about 50,000, of which nearly 10,000 are Tianfang people, he is relying on these Tianfang people as captains, relying on the backbone of the Tianfang warriors to control the fleet, but when the main force of the government army and naval division, When it is obvious that they want to finish their work in a battle, no matter how strict the guards are, the pirate subordinates composed of the natives of various countries are fleeing every day, even if they suffer heavy casualties, as long as they are caught, they will definitely be tortured and killed, and these indigenous pirates are also determined to escape.
