Chapter 777 - Very Hurt

The weight of the Frisian horse is generally more than five or six hundred kilograms, while the Mongolian horse is at most two or three hundred kilograms, and even if it is a super mutant, it will not exceed four hundred kilograms. The two sides of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info face to face, just like the sub-lightweight and super heavyweight fighters fighting together, the knights of the Ming Dynasty are condescending, including the audience, and their self-esteem has been greatly satisfied. I'm sorry, but the Friesian horses also have a characteristic, they have strong hind legs, and often like to raise their bodies high, attack with their front hooves, and the hooves that are similar to the rice bowl, take a hit, even if it is a tiger or lion, it will break the bones and tendons, and the small life is over.

And these Frisian horses drifted across the ocean, and when they arrived in a strange environment, they were very furious, kicking, biting, gnawing, beating, and all kinds of means came up.

The game of polo has long since changed its flavor and has become a complete fight.

The audience on both sides crouched on the railing, looking at Lei Jian, Shen Gongzi, and a group of other noble sons looked at the majestic Friesian horses, completely intoxicated.

With its glittering black fur, majestic body, unruly mane, and ferocious fighting style, every horse is like a chariot, rampage and no scruples.

"Too hot-blooded, too man!"

They were all excited, and Shen Gongzi was even more trembling, even if he ate bran vegetables, he had to get a Frisian horse to raise, it was so handsome, there was wood!

Gao Gong and Jiang Dong both stood up, went to the front of the stands, stretched their necks and looked, and the more they looked, the happier they became. The Frisian horses were more robust and combat-ready than the Arabian horses, and if the Ming army had a group of cavalry equipped with Frisian equipment, I was afraid that I would flee from the wind.

"Fang Xi Gong, Zhong Xuan Gong, I'm afraid it won't work." Tang Yi said in a low voice: "Xi Muyun just sent someone to send me a letter, detailing this kind of war horse, named Friesland, which is a kind of war horse produced in the Netherlands region of Europe, which was brought to Luzon by the Francosians. ”

Tang Yi didn't dare to say the reason in detail, but he felt a little blushing.

The so-called Dutch and Belgian generations were still under Spanish control, and the Spaniards seized Luzon and the Friesian horses were taken to the East.

In the era when cavalry was king, any good war horse was a valuable strategic resource, and the Spaniards were much more cunning than the Bedouins, how could they easily get war horses from them?

However, it was difficult for Xi Muyun, who happened to catch a glimpse of Friesian Lamma when he was doing business with Spain, and he made up his mind at that time to get his hands on it no matter what.

Xi Muyun was very patient, for this goal, he spent a year doing business with the Spaniards, making friends, from the weaving bureau to get the best royal silk, white as jade porcelain, delicate jewelry, everything made the Spaniards fascinated, Xi Muyun also took out his status as a jinshi, telling the Spaniards that he was the highest scholar recognized by the Ming Empire, and he was willing to help the Spaniards preach......

How could a group of barbarians from afar understand the complicated Da Ming, Xi Muyun's words, they were convinced, and after negotiating the priests to be sent to the Da Ming, the governor of Luzon decided to hold a grand polo game to celebrate.

As a result, during the race, suddenly there was a violent explosion in Manila, the ground shook, and the spectators fled in fear, and the Governor had to lead the men and horses to the rescue, leaving only a small number of soldiers to guard the horse farm.

Xi Muyun and his men mixed in the crowd, and immediately attacked, killed all the Spaniards, snatched more than 20 Frisian horses, and fled all the way to the seaside, where there were long-waiting ships.

After getting on the boat, Xi Muyun did not leave in a hurry, but waited quietly, and soon after, dozens of people hurriedly came, and they took the captured horse trainers and nutritionists to get on the big boat together.

Only then did he leave Luzon quickly.

As soon as they walked on the front foot, the Spaniards caught up with them, and fought at sea for more than ten days, the Ming army lost three large ships, six Frisian horses were buried in the sea, and the Spaniards also lost five ships, and it happened that they caught up with the Fujian Navy Division to go south, so that Xi Muyun and them were protected back to the Ming Dynasty.

For the sake of more than a dozen war horses, offended the Spaniards, and if there was no way to break out a war, Xi Muyun was afraid no matter how bold he was, so he quickly explained the matter as it was, and asked for the details of the Friesian horses from the prisoner's mouth, and sent them to Tang Yi.

"Spain's so-called Invincible Armada, that is, playing prestige in Europe, will only come and go in the East!" Tang Yi said firmly.

It's not how strong the navy of the Ming Dynasty is, but the labor expedition, the military taboo, even after a few hundred years, the Eight-Nation Alliance has only gathered 18,000 people, how many fleets can Spain transfer to the East?

Don't forget, there are also England, France, and the Netherlands in Europe, and the Spanish army is on an expedition, and it is estimated that before it reaches the East, there will be a fire in the backyard.

Tang Yi doesn't care about starting the war, what's interesting is that Gao Gong and Jiangdong don't care even more, they don't know what the situation is in Europe at all, and even refer to Spain and Portugal collectively as Franco, the merchants of the Netherlands are just red hairy, how much can they do, it is worth worrying about Daming?

Tang Yi felt that ignorance was not bad for the first time, and they quickly focused on Friesian Lamma.

Unlike Arabian horses, which are suitable for mixed breeds and can produce stronger offspring, Friesian horses are purebred horses of a single pedigree, which means that they cannot be combined with local horses. Among the Friesian horses that Xi Muyun obtained, there were only eight stallions and eleven mares, pointing to this number, if he wanted to breed a cavalry, he didn't know how much time it would take!

In the short term, Friesland can only appear on the field as a symbol of strength, but not on the battlefield.

Tang Yi was very annoyed, but after thinking about it, he remembered that the Tieling horse and the Yili horse were all introduced into different species and bred for breeding.

There is no need to fall into the trap of later generations, as long as you are willing to spend decades, you may be able to cultivate excellent war horses belonging to the East, whether it is a Frisian or an Arabian horse, they are just gene providers!

Thinking of this, Tang Yi's heart was full of joy, and he felt that the sky was exceptionally clear, and the world was brighter......

In the next second, Tang Yi reacted, it was not a flower blooming at all, but blood and water everywhere.

All the Mongolian horses and knights were put down by the frisians, and Xi Muyun's mount bit the neck of a Mongolian horse, threw it out with great force, and raised its body high, reflecting a dark red light in the setting sun.

Time froze, four to three, and Daming won the final victory.

The tide of cheers was earth-shattering, Tang Yi stabbed the high arch and said with a smile: "Zhong Xuangong, this time you won the bet again, right?" ”

Gao Gong glanced at him, "Is the old man the one who drills into the eyes of money?" can get two kinds of good horses, my Ming cavalry is hopeful, even if Gao eats chaff vegetables, he is also happy! ”

Gao Gong was full of sincerity and sighed: "Xingzhi, being in the rivers and lakes, worrying about the court, writing books and sayings, reforming Ma Zheng, making great contributions, you should go back to the court!" ”

Not only Gao Gong, including Jiangdong, the old man was not in good health, and after he was ready to return to Beijing, he resigned from the Ministry of War, and the successor was Tang Yi.

Do you want to go back to the capital?

Tang Yi shook his head silently, "Zhongxuan Gongmei's little brother has it, but it's not yet hot!" ”

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully. This time the game made Gao Gong see through the incompetence and hypocrisy of the Ming officialdom, in the face of their own people, they were extremely fierce, eager to put each other to death, in the face of the enemy, but they always wanted to compromise and steal peace.

Li Chunfang's actions are not him alone, but up to Jiajing, Xu Jie, down to Hanlin Kedao, the common voice of a large group of civil officials, encountered difficulties, stuck to the old ways, held on to the defects, one by one knew the difficulties and retreated, and they knew the difficulties and went around, counting on them to prosper the Ming Dynasty, it was simply a dream.

"Yes, someone must do everything, to fight! You are resourceful, young and promising, it is the time to make great achievements, the old man is not talented, willing to do it, and like-minded people in the world, jointly revitalize the decline and disadvantages, support the country and the society, is it unwilling? ”

Gao Gong was full of fighting spirit at all times, Tang Yi admired it very much, hurriedly hugged his fists and arched his hands, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the Zhongxuan Gong, the younger brother has been in front of the saddle and the horse, charging into battle for the duke, and he will never give up." It's just that the younger brother still has some things in his hands that must be dealt with, and it won't take much time, a year and a half, there will be results, and the younger brother will return to the dynasty at that time. ”

Gao Gong frowned, a little lost, and quickly passed.

"Okay, I won't ask the old man what you want to do, but I think it should be a good thing to benefit the country and the people, since this is the case, the old man will wait for good news."

……

The horse racing race is over, but the real impact is just beginning,

The day after the race, Jiajing issued a decree that the Pegasus and the dragon foal should be brought to the capital, and he wanted to watch it himself. The Arabian horse mixed the title of a heavenly horse, and Friesland became a dragon horse, which is appropriate, but Zhu Shan and Xi Muyun are not happy, and it is true that a good horse should be given to Jiajing, but in the hands of the emperor, it will only become a pet in captivity, and the stallion will be stabbed, and a limited number of treasures will be dedicated to Jiajing, which is really a waste.

Tang Yi could only say: "The sky and the earth are big, the emperor is the biggest, with the approval of His Majesty, equestrianism can be more popular in the world, and there is no way to make some sacrifices, you must remember that when you arrive in the capital, you must talk back and coax Your Majesty." By the way, I will ask Xu Wei, a Hanlin scholar, to help, don't worry. ”

Two reluctant people were sent away, and there were a few troublesome people to send away, and three Taiji came from Mongolia, Dai Qing lost his war horse, and his iron back was knocked half to death, and in comparison, Umur was even more unlucky, his war horse was kicked down, and when he fell to the ground, he broke his leg and had to amputate his leg.

Dai Qing looked at the two more unlucky guys, and suddenly rejoiced, it was good to be able to save his life. When they came, they were violent, and when they returned, the stars were scattered, and when they crossed the Great Wall, they had only one thought, they wouldn't come back to the game, it was too hurtful......
