Chapter 159: Horse Farm
After taking care of a bunch of official duties, Marin returned to the harem, and after visiting the pregnant Felise, Marin went to find his son Caesar. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I haven't seen each other for half a year, and the relationship between Caesar and Marin has become much more estranged. It wasn't until he hung up his beard that Caesar recognized that the person in front of him was his "rake......
Looking at the lovely son, Marin called a liking. But, while he was playing, Marlin suddenly heard little Caesar shouting:
"Big horse, I'm going to ride big horse......" Then, looking longingly at Marin's back......
Ma Lin's face suddenly turned black - this stinky boy actually wants to ride Lao Tzu as a big horse, and the little PP is itchy?
As soon as Angela explained, Marlin learned that the game of "riding a big horse" was invented by Marin's fake father-in-law, Old Nelson.
Old Nelson knew that he was a fake father-in-law, so he naturally kept his duty. However, in order to confuse the outside world, at the request of Marin, the old Nelson and his wife would enter the palace once a month to visit their "daughter" and "grandson".
Because they are fake fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, the old Nelson is naturally full of stammering with Angela and Little Caesar. So, in order to curry favor with little Caesar, old Nelson disregarded his face and lay down to ride Caesar as a "big horse". Not to mention, this game is very popular with Little Caesar. Then, in the face of Marin, little Caesar actually had to ride a ride......
Marin, though fond of his son, refused Caesar's request. As the king of a country, being ridden under his son would be very humiliating if it was passed out.
Moreover, Marin has always believed that boys should not be too spoiled. Some rude requests, should be refused. When it's time to clean up, you can't be soft-hearted. Otherwise, when you grow up, you will easily become a scourge.
A lot of hooligan scum is actually spoiled by parents. Seeing children make mistakes, they do not correct and educate. Over time, you will become an extremely egoistic bastard.
Therefore, after rejecting Little Caesar's unreasonable request, seeing that Little Caesar had tears in his eyes, Marin still ignored it. Even, when little Caesar was about to "show his singing voice", Marin stretched out his hand and glared at little Caesar with a threatening look. Then little Caesar did not dare to howl......
"Rake bad ......" As Marin left, he faintly heard the whispered protest of little Caesar from behind. Hearing this, Ma Lin almost accidentally fell - Damn, Lao Tzu went out to fight the country not for you, but in exchange for your "rake, rake" ...... No, I'm hurt......
Arriving at Felise's room, Marin sought a moment of comfort. However, Felise is pregnant, and Marlin can't do anything to her. Wanting to do something with Angela, little Caesar always makes trouble and doesn't give Marlin a chance......
"Stinky boy, I have to find you a nurse like Mama Rong, and then prick you with a needle every day......" Out of boredom, Marin visited his war horse Carl at the stable in the depressed area.
Unexpectedly, Carl didn't have time to pay attention to himself, he was looking for a mare and doing something shameful. Seeing Ma Lin coming, he didn't have time to pay attention to Ma Lin, but only snorted, and then continued to have a relationship with Ma Meizi......
"I wipe ...... Am I being abandoned by the whole world? Marin was dumbfounded.
Then he had to go and have a drink with two Mongols, Mozhigen and Battle......
Coincidentally, Morrigan and Battle were drinking, and then, Marin took a cup and joined in......
The two Mongolian men drank whisky from Scotland, a rare spirit in Europe. As for the beer produced in Germany, the two Mongolian uncles said that the degree is too low, and we are not used to drinking it......
Although, they have medical alcohol in their hands and can make spirits. However, the alcohol has lost its aroma, and only the taste of alcohol remains, and it is unpleasant to drink. It has to be brewed to feel like a drink.
Marin told them that when the sugar cane production in Grenada was large, he could find someone to make a spirit called "rum", which was about the same strength as whiskey, but had a sweet aroma.
The two big men were naturally full of joy and urged Marin to hurry up and get this good wine......
Drinking and drinking, Mo Rigen suddenly asked:
"My lord, I heard that the Great Khan of Crimea, Möngkejire Khan, gave you 100 Mongolian horses?"
"Yes, when I went to Crimea, Möngkejire Khan did send me 100 Mongolian horses. Of course, not pure Mongolian horses, but Mongolian horses that have been crossed with local horses from Eastern Europe. A real Mongolian horse, not so tall......"
"Your Excellency is really knowledgeable, you actually know that Mongolian horses on the Mongolian steppe are relatively short?" Both Morrigan and Battle were taken aback. They come from the Mongolian steppes, and naturally they know that the original Mongolian horses are relatively short. However, Marin has never been to Huaxia, how do you know......
"Didn't you say more? My teacher, Albert Einstein, traveled all over the world, and there was nothing he didn't know...... "Marin was a pot that made Einstein carry it strongly......
"Mr. Love is really knowledgeable!" Both Morrigan and Battle were full of admiration.
"Hehe, I kept all the 100 Mongolian horses in Oldenburg. Those are uncastrated horses, which can be bred, and I am waiting to get more Mongolian horses from Eastern Europe in the future. ”
Both Morrigan and Battle were a little strange, and Battle asked:
"My lord, even the Mongolian horses on the Crimean side should be a head shorter than the big horses ridden by you Europa. Generally speaking, Europa people don't like that kind of pony, right? ”
"That kind of tall horse, only knights in armor can use it. However, since the advent of muskets, it is inevitable that knights in plate armor will die. Therefore, it is better to develop light cavalry. Light cavalry does not need tall horses, Eastern European Mongolian horses can do. ”
After a pause, Marin added:
"Moreover, the most powerful thing about Mongolian horses is that they are easy to raise. Just put it on the grassland and eat some grass. If you are as squeamish as a European horse, you have to eat oats......"
"Your Excellency!" Mozhigen and Battle are both obedient, really obedient, not sycophant.
"Of course, how can you Mongols pull out hundreds of thousands of cavalry at any time? Isn't it because Mongolian horses are resistant to rough feeding? Like Europeans, the cost of raising war horses is too high and it is difficult to scale up. Ordinary countries can't muster tens of thousands of cavalry at all. In the whole of Western Europe, tens of thousands of cavalry can be gathered, and only a few countries such as France can not afford to raise so many war horses. However, the poor ghost-like Crimea can easily make up 40,000 elite cavalry, why? Isn't it because Mongolian horses are easy to raise? ”
"Yes, hearing you say that, I also miss the Mongolian horses. Back then, on the Mongolian steppe, our brothers rode Mongolian horses, drank mare's milk wine, and slept with wild Mongolian girls...... How nostalgic......" Battle said nostalgically.
"Well, I really want to go back to the Mongolian steppes to have a look...... "Mo Zhigen also sighed.
"Don't think about it, the Chahar Department is in full swing, you are the enemies of the Chahar Ministry, and when you go back, you will probably be wrapped in a blanket and let the horses trample on it like Zamuhe......"
At this point, both Mongolian men were silent......
"By the way, since you like Mongolian horses. Why don't I put those 100 Eastern European Mongolian horses on the horse farm north of the city, and you can see from time to time? In this way, riding a Mongolian horse can also relieve your homesickness. Ma Lin suddenly remembered that the two Mongolian doctors in front of him were a combination of human doctors and veterinarians. Even, when it comes to veterinarians, probably the best in the world...... If you give them the horses to take care of them, it's fine......
"Uh...... My lord, we are now court doctors...... However, we can let the disciples take care of the horses. When I'm fine, I want to go for a ride......"
"No problem, I will order the construction of a new horse farm on the meadow in the east of the city to breed Mongolian horses." Marin understood very well that the disciples that Morrigan and Battle were talking about were not those scumbag disciples who were sent to castrate pigs, but those disciples who were at the top level. It was only those scholarly disciples, Mo Rigen and Battle who were willing to admit that they were disciples. As for those scumbag disciples, neither of them wanted to admit it, and they only said that they were registered disciples......
There are two important Xueba disciples who take care of those Mongolian horses, which can be regarded as reassuring to Ma Lin. Seriously, Marin really envied the ability of the Mongols and Tatars to pull out tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of cavalry at will. This ability is somewhat scary.
Although Mongolian horses have the disadvantages of short legs and slow sprint speed, they cannot hold a large number of horses, and the cost of raising them is very low. Relying on the numerical superiority of the cavalry, the heap can also heap you to death.
The Russian Empire, which rose later, also relied on the Eastern European Mongolian horse, which was later called the "Don Hippopotamus", and the Cossack cavalry that matched it, to invade the entire Siberia, as well as the steppes of Central Asia, and also extended its poisonous hand to China.
If you rely on those delicate horses in Europe, it is estimated that you will freeze to death halfway through Siberia before you finish Siberia......
For example, the Arabian horse, which was popular in later generations, although it was fast, also had good endurance. However, it is not cold-tolerant. Those local tyrants in the north bought Arabian horses, and they had to be locked in the house in winter to turn on the heating to keep warm. If you put it in the wild, you have to freeze to death......
Only authentic Mongolian horses, as well as Mongolian horses from Eastern Europe, can adapt to the cold of winter in Siberia and northern China.
After drinking, Marin left drunk. Early the next morning, Marin immediately sent someone to Oldenburg to give them an order to bring back all 100 Eastern European Mongolian horses. At the same time, in the east of Aurich, a new horse farm is being built......
