After determining the value of this new type of plow, Marin rewarded Prad with 1,000 gold. Then, together with Prader, the plow cart was improved.

Of course, there was no need to change it elsewhere, Marlin just changed the wheels of the plough to wheels with cage ball bearings. In this way, when the plowcar moves forward, there is less resistance. After testing, the plough truck can plough 33 acres of land per day with 12 horsepower. The reason why it is only so much higher is that the plow truck originally drove a lot of horsepower and ignored a lot of resistance. If it is a single horse, the lift may be a little bigger. But the curved plough used by a single horse does not use wheels at all......

Later, Marin experimented with using multiple oxen to drive such plough carts for ploughing. However, the results of the trial were not good. As a result, the same 12 oxen were used to pull the plow, and only 15 acres of land could be cultivated per day, which was about the same efficiency as a walk-behind tractor.

But Marlin could clearly see that this was not because the ox was not as strong as the horse, but purely because the ox pulled the plough and walked slowly, and the speed could not be improved. Therefore, 12 oxen came to pull this plow cart, although the strength was enough and even overflowed, but the speed of the old ox was like that, and it couldn't get up fast.

However, after Prad reduced the number of oxen to six, he found that the oxen still had no problem pulling the plow, and he still cultivated 15 acres of land a day, which shows that the strength of the oxen is indeed greater than that of the horse.

However, in terms of efficiency, it is more cost-effective to use a pull-horse type with Eastern European Mongolian horses to cultivate the land. Because, Mongolian horses in Eastern Europe, like cattle, usually eat grass, which is more cost-effective.

However, in the paddy fields where rice is grown in the subtropics and tropics, horses are not good. Many horses are very unsuitable for paddy fields. At this time, it is better to plough with oxen.

However, not all cattle are suitable for paddy fields. The most suitable for paddy farming is still the buffalo. Or, the zebu in India or something.

Fortunately, the people of Beihai basically eat wheat grains as their staple food, and there is little demand for rice. Therefore, at the moment, the colonies of the North Sea Kingdom have enough zebu adapted to the tropical climate.

……

As a result, Marin began a large-scale program to introduce horses from the steppes of Eastern Europe. Marin found that the largest number of livestock in the steppes of Eastern Europe was sheep. And the second most is not a cow, but a horse!

Because, nomads, meat eaters prefer to eat mutton. And to drink milk, it is customary to drink mare's milk, not cow's milk.

As a result, there are far more horses than cattle in the steppes of Eastern Europe. Even, they raised cattle to trade with farming peoples, or some nobles liked to eat beef.

Just like the current Crimean Khanate, cattle farming was originally a small industry. But since Marin's order, they have only started to raise cattle on a large scale.

But when it comes to the number of livestock, they have more horses than cattle. Mongolian horses are inherently hardy and rough-fed, even if they are mixed breeds from Eastern Europe.

Moreover, although the Crimean Khanate sold it to Marin for 20 gold coins for a war horse, 2.5 times more than an ox. However, the war horse was originally distinguished from the large herd of ordinary horses. In the Crimea, there were more horses than war horses. The price of a horse is about the same as that of a cow, and it is not expensive at all.

As a result, Marin decided to introduce a large number of mares from the Crimean Khanate. Then, it is bred with stallions from Western Europe to breed a new type of horse that usually grazes and is also suitable for pulling carts. Even if the size is not large, it is cost-effective just from the cost of feeding.

Besides, Marin didn't have to spend too much real money to buy horses in Crimea. As long as he made a large amount of spirits, he could get enough Eastern European Mongolian horses from the Crimean Khanate, which was more convenient than buying cattle.

Kecskemét in the middle of the Kingdom of Hungary, after several days of preparation, is much more forgiving. George forcibly recruited the people, and finally the four gates of Kecskemet were piled with dirt and stones, so that the people of the city could not leave the city. In addition, several trenches were dug outside the city. Even if the defenders of the city broke through the gates, they would be blocked by the moats if they tried to break out.

At this time, more forgive. George could finally face the Hungarian army from the north with confidence. Then, he received a war letter from the official army:

"Our army will fight your army at 9 o'clock in the morning on July 22 at a decisive battle at 4 leagues (about 19.3 kilometers) north of the city of Kecskemette, please be ready for battle."

"In addition, if your Excellency surrenders to His Majesty the King before the war begins, the whole army will be spared death, and at most exiled. Once the war starts and then is defeated, those who surrender in time on the battlefield can also avoid death. However, some senior commanders may not be able to pardon it, so it is best for you to surrender before the battle begins, and we will guarantee the lives of everyone in your army! ”

……

This war letter has two main functions, one is to make an appointment with the place and time of the war. The other is to tell the rebels that surrender will avoid death, and even if they surrender in battle, most of them will be exempt from death......

The reason why I told the other party this was because I was afraid that the other party would resist desperately. As a result, there were few prisoners of war after the war. In that case, where are they going to take the prisoners? You know, these captives are very valuable......

In fact, this war book has another purpose, which is to cover up the real killer features of the official army......

What is the killer feature of the official army? Of course, it was to drug the horses of the rebel cavalry! If the horses of the enemy cavalry are all diarrhea, then they are still hairy? And the reason why the time of the start of the war was set at 9 a.m., and not earlier, was to leave time for the rebels to feed their horses in the morning. Otherwise, if the rebel war horses don't eat the fodder with the feed, how can they be recruited?

……

Sure enough, early in the morning of July 22, the soldiers of the rebel army got up to make breakfast. At the same time, the person in charge of logistics, under the command of Quartermaster Benayoun, distributed the horse's feed for the day - feed with croton flour to the cavalry.

Seeing that the cavalrymen had begun to feed the horses with the fodder, the chubby Benayoun wiped the cold sweat from his head, and then quietly walked towards the south gate of the camp gate. Over there, there were a few horses he had prepared, horses that hadn't eaten feed......

When the rebel army began to take turns from the north gate of the camp to the agreed battlefield, Benayong had already taken a few henchmen, followed by Zahavi, a spy who had infiltrated the camp, and rode away from the south gate in the chaos......

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the rebel war horse, which had eaten the feed with croton flour, suddenly began to diarrhea, which frightened the leader of the rebel army. George.

Rao. George's horses and the hundreds of horses of his guards did not hit, because their horses were so good. One of George's cronies was in charge of the feeding, which was not the same as the feed supply for most of the horses. Unfortunately, the number of their horses was too small, only more than two hundred.

And more than half of the more than 40,000 horses of the 30,000 hussars were recruited. Only a small number of war horses, because the croton powder was not added enough, were lucky not to be hit.

However, it didn't work. Because, the number of war horses that survived the disaster added up to only 7,000......

This is not the worst, the worst thing is - because most of the war horses are thin, which seriously affects the morale of the rebel army. Before the fight began, the morale of the rebel army fell to the bottom......

……

But the officers and troops in charge of suppression would not give the rebels a chance, and when the rebels were in confusion because of the prostration of the war horse, the 5,000 Polish hussars and 5,000 Cossack cavalry of the official army launched a charge on time at 9 o'clock......

In the face of the overwhelming tens of thousands of cavalry, the peasant rebel army, which had lost most of its cavalry and was disheartened, was about to collapse.

At the same time, tens of thousands of officers and cavalry who were charging on the battlefield suddenly shouted neatly in Hungarian, which they were not very proficient in:

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"
