Since Jin Liang became the lord, "Zhou Gong spit out the world and return to the heart" is his ideal, and it has almost become his nature to be thirsty for talent, he saw Tian Chou for the first time, and wanted to recruit him to his command, and immediately wanted to appoint Tian Chou as the general of Zhengnan to deal with Zhonglang, but Tian Chou refused.

Tian Chou was ordered by the old lord Liu Yu to serve the Son of Heaven Liu Bian, he did not know much about Jin Liang in advance, and he was unwilling to rashly vote for Jin Liang as the main prince, so he said: "I still worship Liu Taiwei as the main prince, one minister can not serve the second master, and I hope that Jin General Haihan." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jin Liang understood what Tian Chou meant, and suddenly understood that he couldn't recruit Tian Chou so quickly because he was thirsty for talent, which would inevitably offend Liu Yu and outweigh the losses, so he laughed it off and let Tian Chou leave the general's mansion.

At the court meeting the next day, Tian Chou found that he was recommended by Jin Liang as a servant, assisting the servant Zhu Jun to take charge of the affairs of horses and livestock. When the emperor travels, the servant is in charge of the car, and he personally drives the emperor's royal car, and the servant becomes a close minister because of his close relationship with the emperor. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the servants mostly chose ministers with prestige or meritorious service to fill them, so that sometimes they were transferred from Sikong and Shang Shuling to the servants, which shows the importance of their titles. This time, Jin Liang proposed that Zhu Jun continue to serve as a servant.

According to later generations, Jin Liang recommended Tian Chou from a provincial secretary to the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Animal Husbandry, and the war horse was equivalent to the tank of later generations for the army in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the servant was equivalent to the general in charge of armored combat vehicles in the general assembly-reserve department of later generations, and the official rank was suddenly upgraded several levels. The position of responsibility is so important. Jin Liang's weight on Tian Chou is overflowing. The reason why Jin Liang recommended Tian Chou as a servant. It is to see that Zhongtian Chou has lived in the border area for a long time, is familiar with the habits of the nomads such as Wuhuan and Xianbei, and has prestige and influence among these nomads.

Jin Liang vaguely remembered that after Tian Chou was killed by Gongsun Zan by Liu Yu, he led the clan to live in seclusion in Xu Wushan, ploughing to support his parents and recruit displaced people. In a few years, to more than 5,000 families, Tian Chou was elected as a leader by the people, established laws, established a ritual system, opened a school to preach, and Wuhuan and Xianbei each sent tributes to obedience. Since Tian Chou can exert influence on Wuhuan and Xianbei in that life, in this life, with the support of Jin Liang, his influence will inevitably be greater, and the Wuhuan and Xianbei clans are rich in good horses. Arita Chou was in charge of Ma Zheng, compared to other talents from the counties of the Central Plains. It's bound to do more with less.

Tian Chou is a servant, ostensibly working for the Son of Heaven Liu Wei, and most of the war horses he raised and bred were allocated to Jin Liang's Central Army, so it seems that Tian Chou is actually doing things for Jin Liang. Jin Liang has always been pragmatic and does things, since Tian Chou is actually doing things for himself, why do he have to force him to be his subordinates.

Tian Chou looked at Jin Liang standing in front of the military attache array in surprise, he thought that Jin Liang must be resentful after being rejected by him yesterday, even if he did not retaliate personally, at least he would suppress it in the appointment of officials, and other cabinet auxiliary ministers would not offend Jin Liang because of Tian Chou, a nobody, Tian Chou was ready to be a small official before coming to the court, he never expected that Jin Liang not only did not suppress him, but gave him a high position, so that he repaid his grievances with virtue, so that Tian Chou, who lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, was ashamed.

After the next dynasty, the embarrassed Tian Chou came to see Jin Liang, and when he entered Jin Liang's mansion, Tian Chou pounced, knelt on the ground, and said earnestly: "The day before the humble post, he rudely refused the general's kindness, the general did not think it was resentful, but repaid the grievances with virtue, the general was so magnanimous, it really made Tian Chou very ashamed, Tian Chou came to confess to the general!" ”

Jin Liang stepped forward to help Tian Chou up, and said with a loud smile: "I know that my son is elegant and elegant, loyal and martial, and Yu Fuxia, cautious in things, measuring time and reason, advancing and retreating in harmony, and is really a capable minister who governs the world, so I specially recommend it to the Son of Heaven." I and Mrs. Liu are auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, both are ministers who assist the Son of Heaven, Zitai serves the Son of Heaven, serves Mrs. Liu, and serves me, all of them are the same, I don't mind, why should Zitai mind. ”

Seeing Jin Liang's sincere smile and open-mindedness, Tian Chou couldn't help but be impressed, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that if Liu Yu was a hundred years later, he would definitely take refuge in Jin Liang as his father.

Tian Chou originally thought that Liu Yu would live for more than ten years, but he never expected that Liu Yu would be killed by Gongsun Chan three years later, and Tian Chou at that time immediately took refuge in Jin Liang, because Jin Liang wanted to use Liu Yu's death to crusade against Gongsun Chan and then unify the north, which is a later story.

Subsequently, Jin Liang and Tian Chou discussed how to greatly promote Ma Zheng. In addition to mastering the imperial horse, the more important duty of the servant is to take charge of the animal husbandry of the government. In the former Han Dynasty, the imperial court set up priests in the six counties of Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun and Xihe, raising 300,000 horses. But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiqiang rebellion in Longxi, Tianshui, and Anding, the Qianghu rebellion in the Beidi and Shangjun areas, and the Xihe County was occupied by the Southern Xiongnu.

There are only more than 50,000 war horses that the Xiangyang court can control, more than 20,000 are in the hands of Liangzhou Muhuang Fu Song, more than 20,000 war horses are in the hands of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, and Jin Liang's central army can control only more than 11,000 war horses. If Jin Liang's central army wants to dominate the world, more than 10,000 cavalry will not help at all, I am afraid that even Gongsun Zhan, Wu Huan, and Xianbei will not be able to defeat.

Jin Liang continued to lead the cavalry, he knew the ability of the cavalry in the era of cold weapons, especially after being equipped with double stirrups, high bridge saddles, and horseshoes, the cavalry galloped on land, just like the tanks of later generations, unstoppable, rather than spending a lot of energy and money to train the infantry to compete with the cavalry, it was better to indirectly train the cavalry.

Jin Liang was able to take advantage of the fact that these nomadic tribes were divided into small and small units into the state of Kou, and captured their war horses and cavalry, but also could exchange salt, silk, porcelain, tea and other Central Plains specialties for the good horses of the nomadic tribes such as Xianbei, Qianghu, and Wuhuan, and on this basis, a large number of cavalry of the Central Army were formed.

When Jin Liang told Tian Chou about the plan to form a cavalry, he thought that Tian Chou would praise and echo it.

saw Tian Chou with a wry smile on his face: "General, I have been in the border area for more than 20 years. I know very well the nature of those aliens. Although they coveted salt, silk, and tea from Middle-earth. But beneath their greedy and stupid faces lies suspicious and cunning eyes.

The general repeatedly broke Xianbei, and those foreigners were in awe of the general, and they didn't want to enhance the general's combat power, so they would not dare to sell good war horses to the general. If the Central Army indirectly procures from the grassland, the so-called good horses purchased can only be used as horses, although the baggage soldiers need to pull the horses, but after all, the horses that can be ridden and run for thousands of miles are what the general really wants. General, you want to get a war horse by crushing the captives of those tribes, and it is also wishful thinking. Although there were often disputes between those tribes. But when it comes to us Han people, they are very united. Once the general raises troops and destroys one or two of these small tribes, the other tribes on the grassland will hear the wind and gather together to form a large force of men and horses, and with the general's existing cavalry strength, there is nothing to be done. ”

"Zitai is reasonable, but if my central official army does not have enough cavalry, how can I pacify the world, and I hope Zitai will teach me?" Jin Liang knew that Tian Chou's words just now were by no means alarmist. It's a very real situation, how to break through this dilemma. Jin Liang is at a loss now.

"Taiwei Liu has governed the border areas for many years with the method of leniency, benevolence and gentleness, and has been in Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, and Huiqian? The generals could purchase good horses from those foreigners through Liu Taiwei, although those foreigners would not sell the best horses, but the horses they sold to Liu Taiwei were certainly much better than those purchased indirectly by the Central Army. Tian Chou said with a smile.

"But Taiwei Liu has always advocated that Huai Rou be lenient and benevolent to foreigners, if he knew that I also had the intention of dealing with foreigners when I bought horses, he would definitely not be this middleman, right?" Jin Liang asked with a frown.

"Since I have already become a servant, then there is no need for the general to come forward in the matter of purchasing horses, I will discuss with Taiwei Liu, saying that the central officials and troops are buying good horses to deal with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry, and Taiwei Liu must be willing to do this." Tian Chou was touched by Jin Liang's magnanimity, and unconsciously, he had put the interests of the central government and army above his old lord Liu Yu, of course, there was a more important reason, Tian Chou reserved his opinion on Liu Yu's leniency.

"Then thank you Zitai for your help. If you buy horses, you may withdraw them from the central bank. I hope there will be at least 20,000 horses in this first batch, and I want to create a cavalry brigade in each division of the Central Army. Jin Liang was in a hurry to make the Central Iron Horse, and hurriedly placed an order.

"General, if you let Taiwei Liu buy 20,000 war horses from foreign tribes at once, such a large number will definitely make all the tribes in the grassland suspicious, and a discerning person will know that this war horse is in the hands of the general, and then Taiwei Liu's line will be broken." Tian Chou hurriedly admonished.

"What should I do with Zitai?" Jin Liang hurriedly asked.

"The general can buy war horses through multiple channels, in addition to Taiwei Liu, the general can also buy war horses through so many lines such as Wuji Zhen's family, Yuyang Tian's family, Sushuang's Zhang Shiping, and my Beiping Tianjia and Fanyang Lu's family, etc., each line buys one or two thousand good horses, and brings one or two thousand horses, so that the grassland tribes can be temporarily hidden."

Jin Liang nodded in approval, you can't just purchase so many good horses from one line, and you can't just purchase war horses, otherwise it will be easy for those aliens who are wary of the Han people to see through.

Jin Liang said with a smile: "What is abundant on the grassland, and what our court lacks is not only war horses, but also horses, cattle, sheep, and hunting dogs. ”

Tian Chou asked in surprise, "Cows, sheep, and hounds?" What is the use of these livestock? ”

"Cows, in addition to being used for ploughing the fields, but also because cattle can carry more weight than horses, can be used to tow heavy vehicles, some cows can secrete a lot of milk, can let the soldiers drink milk every day, enhance the physique, cattle can also be slaughtered, let the soldiers eat beef every few days, improve the diet, enhance the physique, cowhide can be used to make leather armor.

Mutton is a big supplement, every few days, slaughter some sheep to eat, can enhance the physique of the soldiers, goat milk is sweet and warm and has nourishing yin and nourishing the stomach, nourishing the kidneys, moisturizing and smoothing the stool, detoxification effect, sheepskin wool can be used to weave clothes to keep out the cold. ”

Jin Liang asked in surprise: "The whole body of the cattle and sheep is a treasure, you should also know this." ”

"I know the rest, that is, let the soldiers in the army drink milk and goat's milk, I am afraid that the soldiers in the army will be difficult to get used to. Because the smell of cow's and goat's milk is really bad. Tian Chou frowned. Presumably he had tasted goat's milk and cow's milk as well.

Think about it. It turned out that in later generations, he drank those pure milk produced by Sanlu, Mengniu, Yili, mixed with melamine and many other complicated things, although the pros and cons of drinking were mixed, but the taste was still good, after all, he accepted so many mixed treatments, but the milk and goat's milk in the Eastern Han Dynasty could not be mixed with melamine, or the original taste, naturally some fishy and some smelly.

Jin Liang laughed and said, "Zitai, it doesn't matter if it's human." Or livestock, just after birth, only drink the mother's milk, that is a day is the same, slippery and slippery, you can see how nutritious the milk is. Most of the lieutenant generals in our army are adapted from homeless bandits, malnourished, yellow and thin, and it is difficult to recuperate for a while and a half by the usual recuperation methods, so we must use this special method. Drink milk. When it comes to taste, good medicine is bitter and good for disease. The same is true for this milk and goat's milk, saying that it is difficult to swallow is not used to it, and if you get used to it, it is nothing. ”

"Maybe the general will set an example and take the initiative to drink, and the officers and men in the army will naturally follow suit." Tian Chou suggested with a smile.

Jin Liang picked up a cup and smiled mysteriously: "Of course it's no problem, I also have a slogan, I want to tell the soldiers in the army, a glass of milk a day, strong Han people!" ”

"If the general can drink it consistently, I believe that the officers and men in the army will inevitably take drinking milk and goat's milk as a habit of life, and over time, it will definitely greatly improve their physique." Tian Chou said with a smile.

"Of course, I used to ......" Speaking of this, Jin Liang smiled dumbly, he wanted to say that I used to drink Sanlu milk and grew up, but when the words came to his mouth, he was stunned to find that Nima, this Sanlu's melamine is really powerful, making him almost brainless and saying things that shouldn't be said.

"Well, that's of course, when I was in Wuling before, I drank goat's milk and milk every day since I was a child, that's why I grew so tall and had such great strength, I don't believe it, you go and lift my stone dragon knife." Jin Liang laughed and said, in fact, such a size and divine power should be attributed to genetics.

"Ah, it turns out that drinking milk and goat's milk has such great benefits, so I will also let our children start drinking milk." Tian Chou took a look at the stone dragon knife, and with the effort to eat, he reluctantly lifted the stone dragon knife, thinking that Jin Liang was running this big knife like flying, and seeing that Jin Liang was nine feet tall, he couldn't help but admire.

"Haha, you reminded me, in the future, not only the soldiers in the army, but also the children of the soldiers, and even the entire Han territory, will advocate the implementation of 'a glass of milk a day, strong Han people', I believe that in this way, our originally weak Han people may grow stronger than those barbarians."

The dairy profiteers of Sanlu in later generations naturally said how good it is to drink milk, but some people also say that drinking milk actually does more harm than good to the Chinese people, especially drinking milk with melamine, but according to Jin Liang's observation, drinking more pure and good milk can definitely greatly enhance people's physique, especially for some people who were originally lacking in nutrition, such as most of the Han people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Jin Liang wanted to vigorously develop cattle and sheep animal husbandry, and improve the physique of the Han people. Don't be the sick man of East Asia again.

"General, what I don't understand is, why are you buying hounds on the steppe? Do you want to hunt? But how do you have time to hunt now that you're so busy? Tian Chou was puzzled.

"Hehe, Zitai, you don't know, in the grassland is a hunting dog, and in our central military barracks, you can domesticate into a military dog, don't underestimate these dogs, their ability to distinguish smells is many times higher than people, hearing is much more powerful than people, broad vision, and good at observing things at night, after training, military dogs can be responsible for tracking, identification, vigilance, guarding, patrolling, search, communication and other tasks." Jin Liang explained with a smile.

"Military dogs, when the general said this, it reminds me, I remember that in the Xia and Shang era more than a thousand years ago, there was a habit of raising military dogs in the army, if we have military dogs in the army and use them to explore the way, we are not afraid of ambushes, use them to keep vigil, we are not afraid of night attacks, and we can also use them to communicate." Tian Chou is also a very knowledgeable person, and when he heard Jin Liang say this, he quickly understood Jin Liang's intentions.

"Haha, of course, it's not all, when our military life is boring, we can also play dog fighting games, when we are hungry, we can also eat some dog meat, eating dog meat in winter is a big supplement." After Jin Liang finished speaking, he laughed.

Tian Chou is more fond of raising dogs and has feelings for dogs, of course, he is a little unaccustomed to eating dog meat, so he ignored Jin Liang's joke and asked calmly: "Twenty thousand war horses look a little difficult now, how many war horses do you want to buy, how many horses, how many horses, general?" ”

"A good horse like a red rabbit horse can buy a hundred, ordinary war horses buy 10,000 first, and 10,000 horses, these horses can usually be used to carry baggage, and they can also be ridden by auxiliary soldiers." Jin Liang prefers integers, and 10,000 is better than 8,000 to remember.

"Let the general down, your red rabbit horse is the king of horses, it is unique and unparalleled in the world, it is difficult to find a second horse, let alone find a hundred?"

"I mainly want to change some good horses for the generals to ride, if there is no heavenly horse like the red rabbit horse, I also want to find some famous horses that are better than ordinary war horses." Jin Liang saw that before he rode the red rabbit horse, the horses of the other generals were ordinary war horses, and he couldn't bear it, so he kept looking for an opportunity to buy horses and buy some good horses for his own generals in the army.

"There are some war horses that are inferior to the Red Rabbit Horse, and a hundred are easy to find, but the price is on the high side, estimated to cost 200,000 yuan a head." Tian Chou once purchased war horses for Liu Yu and his family, and knew the price of horses well.

"Money is not the problem, the key is that the horse is good." Jin Liang dug up the treasures of the Ten Standing Servants, and copied the property of five families such as Zhao Zhong and Li Cheng, coupled with the support of the Zhen family, the funds at his disposal now are the number one in Dahan, and the money is useless in his hands, only when it is transformed into the combat effectiveness and striking ability of the Central Army, the money can be regarded as valuable.

"General, don't worry, our Tian family is a Soma family in Youzhou, and I don't know much about others, but when it comes to the art of Soma, I dare to call myself Bole, and there are dozens of Soma masters below me who can be called Bole. It will not be long before we will divide into several routes from the grassland to buy war horses, and our Soma division is very responsible, and will definitely find the best horses for the general, but the general should not compare the red rabbit horses with those horses, otherwise, there will be no good horses in the world. Tian Chou smiled. (To be continued.) )
