Rome ruled almost all of Europe in the 2nd century AD, extending eastward to Western Asia. Qin Feng's request was to ask for European horses.

In ancient times, Chinese horses were not as good as European horses in size, which was also an important reason why armor and riding equipment could not be promoted and continued.

In the history of China, there were famous generals in all dynasties, and famous generals had roughly the same military regulations. It is stipulated that when the heavy cavalry is on the march, it must dismount and walk to maintain its horsepower, and only when it is time to fight, it is allowed to mount the horse.

This cannot be said that Chinese horses are not good, just because of the environment, the ancestors of European horses are heavy horses. The Chinese horse originated in the Mongolian steppe, because it is located in the alpine zone, in order to save energy loss and survive, the individual is smaller than the European horse.

However, Chinese horses also have advantages, European horses are large in size, heavy in load, and Chinese horses are durable and adaptable.

Qin Feng thought that if they could be combined to breed horses with large size, heavy load, strong durability and strong adaptability, this would be an ancient off-road tank, and he would not be afraid to go there.

Speaking of horses, in this era, there are four kinds of horses outside China that have a high reputation.

In no particular order, the first is the Arabian horse, which is the best horse in the world, tall and fast, "levitating" in the run, and is a good horse with amazing endurance.

The second is the Western thoroughbred, the West introduced the Arabian horse early, combined with the tall size of the European horse and the good quality of the Arabian horse, to breed the fastest thoroughbred, that is, the British thoroughbred of later generations. This horse has set and holds world records for speed at all distances up to 5,000 meters.

The second is the North African Pab horse, which is derived from the Spanish horse, which is the ancestral origin of the American horse breed. The North African Pab horse was the equipment of the Egyptian cavalry, and its most notable feature was that it was resistant to heat and drought. Other horses are not good in the tropics, but the North African Pabuk horse is the most adaptable.

Finally, there is the Don hippopotamus, which has always been inextricably linked with the Cossack cavalry, and its advantage lies in galloping over long distances. The Don is sturdy and tall. Most of the horses have a fiery red, golden coat. They are enduring, very adaptable, responsive, and loyal to their owners. They were distinguished by the Russian Civil War and the two world wars, and were dubbed the Golden Janissaries by the brave hussar warriors.

Due to the geographical isolation of China in ancient times, the Han Dynasty and its predecessors were closed to themselves. Except for a few Dawan horses that entered the Central Plains during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were no other foreign excellent breeds at all. This has made the cultivation and development of Chinese horses always in a state of stagnation.

In the land of China ruled by the Eastern Han Dynasty today, there are no foreign excellent varieties to be found. And Qin Feng is also in his infancy, looking for horse breeds all over the world. Too much of his energy and resources.

However, the Roman Empire ruled the West for hundreds of years, and its sphere of influence extended to Western Asia early, and the Arabian Peninsula was also within its radius. The country also had a thriving foreign trade, with Roman caravans in the depths of Africa and in the far north of Europe.

It can be said that the current Roman Empire has the most comprehensive horse system, with all breeds.

Therefore, Qin Feng hit Rome with his idea.

"Arabian horse, Roman thoroughbred. North African Pabu horse, Don hippopotamus. Ben Hou wants these four, and the others don't want it. Qin Feng said.

The Romans were amazed.

Severus looked Qin Feng up and down, and said in surprise: "We have dozens of horse breeds in Rome, these four are the first, I didn't expect that His Excellency the champion Hou also has a study of horses?" ”

Qin Feng smiled modestly and said, "Generally, ......." ”

Conrad felt that Qin Feng threatened his reputation, and he wanted to send him away immediately, so he said, "Well, I don't know how many horses the champion Hou wants?" ”

Qin Feng thanked him. Said: "It's all right, a total of 1,000 horses." ”

"What?" Rome was stunned.

The First Elder Antonic laughed angrily and said, "A thousand horses? Champion Hou really dares to ask for it, why do we give you a thousand excellent war horses? ”

Qin Feng remained silent. said: "Ben Hou didn't let you send it, Ben Hou bought it." ”

The Romans frowned.

Severus said to Conrad in private: "Your Majesty, this man must have bought my fine Roman war horse to strengthen the horse breed in China. In the future, Huaxia must be our fierce rival and cannot be sold to them. ”

However, Conrad didn't think so, and the threat of Huaxia that Severus said was too far away. Conrad said, "For a thousand years. This is the first time that the East and the West have communicated, and you are too worried. ”

"Thor's hammer~." At this time, there was a cry outside, and obviously, there were Roman citizens cheering for Qin Feng's great achievements.

Conrad was greatly stimulated, and he immediately said, "In this case, sell you a hundred horses each, and there will be no more." ”

Qin Feng said a thousand horses, just because he was afraid that the Romans would not sell him horse breeds, he was actually a lion with a big mouth, and he didn't bring so much money.

So, because the personnel of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce led by Qin Feng died on the way, he couldn't open a store in Rome right away, so he took out the money and bought horse breeds.

Four hundred horse breeds, plus ten wranglers.

When these horses entered China, Qin Feng introduced the world's best horse breeds to Chinese horses. In the future, the combat power of Huaxia horses will definitely reach a new level.

Ten Roman Wranglers will also become the assistants of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce stationed in the Rome area. I believe that with the reputation of Thor's hammer, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce will definitely enter Rome very smoothly.

Therefore, although Qin Feng lost his envoy group, along the way, the fact that he wanted to enter Rome early to develop was also smooth sailing.

When the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce settles in, it will be able to earn foreign exchange. When the Intelligence Guard is stationed, no matter what Qin Feng's future holds, the Intelligence Guard will continue to send valuable information from the West to the East, which will be of great benefit to the East.

In short, Qin Feng's purpose of coming to Rome had been achieved.

A day later, at the sound of the trumpet, the Roman people greeted Qin Feng, chanting the name of Thor's hammer, and many of them begged Qin Feng to stay and become a Roman.

Conrad and Severus were taken aback, and said in their hearts that if Qin Feng stayed, he estimated that the pattern of the Senate would change.

Therefore, the high-level of Rome did not stop, and hurriedly sent Qin Feng out of the country, and wherever Qin Feng passed, the Romans came to greet him. For a while, where Qin Feng's team passed, the cry of Thor's hammer shook the sky.

It is said that half a year after Qin Feng left, by chance, the animal trainer discovered the effect of the cat grass used by Qin Feng. They reported the matter to Conrad. Conrad dropped the plate of the meal at that time and shouted: "It turns out that Qin Zijin is playing yin, he is too despicable!" ”

Because Qin Feng yin Rome, Conrad not only failed to kill Qin Feng. He also had to hold Qin Feng up and become the hammer of Thor, and become the idol of the Romans.

Conrad was mad at this, and he informed the whole country about it, but the people of the whole country did not believe it. I only thought it was the jealousy of the emperor who was questioning Thor's hammer. As for the cat-teasing grass, the people of Rome believed that there was no such thing before, and it was the great achievement of Thor's hammer that gave this grass new qualities.

As a result, the cat grass has become a blessed grass, which can bring courage to people, just like the blessed beetle, which spreads in the "mortal world".

Conrad exposed Qin Feng. Instead of saving his reputation, it lowered his own.

He was depressed and finally fell ill.

History records that Conrad suddenly became seriously ill, and after his death, there was a civil war in the Roman Empire for the throne. It turned out that the serious illness in history was caused by Qin Fengqi. Qin Feng took a trip to Rome, which not only paved the way for his Huaxia Chamber of Commerce and Intelligence Guard to enter Rome. By the way, the Roman emperor died in anger, which directly led to the Roman civil war, which was really fateful.

Since Conrad smeared Qin Feng and was hacked, this is a lesson from the past. Although the upper echelons of Rome were very angry, no one dared to openly question Qin Feng again.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, in July 188 AD, Qin Feng and his party ended their journey to the west and returned to the land of China.

As soon as Qin Feng and the others entered the Yumen Pass, they were caught by Ma Teng. At the same time, they also know some important information.

Beginning in 188 AD, peasant uprisings continued in various parts of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans also rose again.

In February, Guo Tai and the Baibo Valley of the West River rose up and attacked Taiyuan County, Hedong County and other places. And the Yellow Turban Army of Runan County rose again and conquered the county. The remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and Xuzhou also responded, attacking the counties. The various departments of the Yellow Turban rose one after another, and the momentum was restored.

In March, Taichang Liu Yan wrote to Emperor Ling with the world's unremitting soldiers, suggesting that the assassin be changed to the state pastor to re-enforce his duties. Thorn Shiben is the Ombudsman. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, gradually transformed into a local administrator, with a state military and political machine, Emperor Ling in order to suppress the peasant uprisings one after another, so from Liu Yan's proposal, changed the assassination history to the state pastor, and selected Lieqing, Shangshu as the state pastor.

As a result, the governor became the chief executive above the county, holding the military administration of a state, and holding a very important position. As a result, the position of the Taishou was strengthened, and he held the military administration of a county.

From then on, the prefecture or county had its own side, which was like a separatist regime. This situation eventually evolved into a situation in which the princes of the late Han Dynasty were divided and divided.

Qin Feng, who learned of these news, refused to be entertained by the county in the past. He found someone to lead the horses obtained by Rome to the rear, and he whipped the horse quickly, non-stop, slept in the open air, and looked at Luoyang to hurry.

In a blink of an eye, on July 15, 188, Qin Feng and the others had just passed Tongguan, and there was still some distance from Luoyang.

Cao Yuanliu endured hardships all the way back to China, and originally planned to enjoy it when he returned to China, but he didn't expect it to be more bitter than rushing abroad.

Cao Cao couldn't help asking, "Zijin, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Qin Feng said bluntly: "The imperial court reforms the military system, come back with me, if it's too late, the consequences will be unimaginable......." ”

The second half of 188 was really an eventful year, and many things happened in this year. Now that the state pastoral system has begun to be implemented, it will be followed by the reform of the central military, that is, the birth of the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden.

The Eighth Lieutenant of the West Garden will be a force that will determine the direction of history.

As a traverser, Qin Feng is changing history on the one hand, and on the other hand, he needs to maintain the original history. Why does he defend history? Because only when the "express train" of history goes to the troubled times, can there be a situation of separation. If history changes and troubled times do not appear, how can we still compete for hegemony in the world?

In addition, it is much easier for the "express train" to maintain history to drive to the troubled times by itself than for Qin Feng to personally make a troubled world.

And Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are important characters in the eight captains of the West Garden.

The formation of the eighth lieutenant of the West Park is also a plan to seize power from the ten permanent servants.

But He Jin did not sit idly by, but took the initiative to seek the position of eighth lieutenant. In the process of He Jin's counterattack and seizure of power, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were the backbone.

The current situation is that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not in the capital. Without their help, He Jin might not have been able to secure the position of Eighth Lieutenant. In this way, He Jin's strength was not enough to fight against the Ten Permanent Servants.

The Ten Standing Servants regained their power, and Qin Feng and the others, even if they were not chirped one by one, they would be pushed to the end.

Calculating the time, the formation of the eighth lieutenant of the West Park should have been put on the agenda, if it was too late to go back, Qin Feng and the others would not be able to participate. The change in the general direction of history before the troubled times was the result of Qin Feng's previous efforts being abandoned.

Historically, it is mentioned that the Eighth Lieutenant Department was formed in August, and it is now mid-July. Major events must be planned in advance. So Qin Feng kept going, he was very worried that he would miss it.

On the other hand, above the court, the fifteenth congress of the court.

He went in and out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is not strong enough, and there are only 10,000 people left in the five schools of the Northern Army. For the sake of the safety of the society, the minister requested a large-scale recruitment ....... ”

Emperor Han Ling was noncommittal, and just motioned to Zhang Rang on the side.

Zhang Rang shook off the dust, walked out, and said: "The local military system has been reformed, and Your Majesty is impressed by the system of the Central Army, so he hereby decrees the establishment of the Eighth Lieutenant of the West Garden. The eighth lieutenant of the West Park is so and so ....... So, General, don't mention what you said about supplementing the five colonels of the Northern Army of the General's Department. ”

He Jin frowned and said, "I don't know who will lead the eighth lieutenant of the new army?" ”

Emperor Han Ling said in real time: "Chang Shi Jian Shuo, responsible for the formation of the Eighth Captain...... ”

The famous Eighth Lieutenant of Xiyuan is a military reform promoted by the Ten Standing Servants, and this reform is a power-grabbing action of the Ten Standing Servants, which will greatly weaken the military power of the great general He Jin. This action is also in line with Emperor Ling of Han's desire to weaken the power of his relatives, the great general He Jin.

Whoever has the power of the army is a sword, and whoever loses the power of the army is a fish and meat. The hundred officials headed by He Jin realized that the establishment of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan was weakening He Jin's military power, and it was not one of the hundred officials who ********, but the eunuch Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo is a eunuch with a strange endowment, and the other eunuchs are powerless, but he is powerful. If you want to rein in the hearts of the army, you can't do it without the strength of the chicken, so the ten permanent servants have pushed out Jian Shuo.

This is tantamount to a great earthquake in the imperial court, and it was the hundred officials who shook it, and they were dumbfounded at that time.

Zhang Rang saw Baiguan's shocked expression, although he remained silent, he was relieved, after so many years, he finally waited for the opportunity. He gradually looked at He Jin coldly, and said in his heart that you, the butcher, are waiting for the palace, and when the eighth lieutenant is formed, the first one to kill in the palace is you, the second is Qin Zijin, the third is Yuan Benchu, and the fourth is Cao Mengde.......

The hundred officials led by He Jin wanted to stop this matter, but this matter was advocated by Emperor Han Ling, and they couldn't stop it. (To be continued.) )
