Xiaobai history has no borders!

The application of the war history of Europe and the United States to China is a matter of course and correctness. Therefore, batch after batch of irrigation novices fundamentally ignore the differences between Mongolian horses and European and American horse breeds.

Their eyes only saw the weakness of the Mongolian horse, which was thin and low, with weak impact and small weight. The European and American horse breeds are tall, strong, explosive, fast impact, strong weight, and so on. Another important aspect that will measure whether the war horse is excellent or not: it is not easy to raise, and whether the endurance is long or not is completely ignored.

As a result, in the minds of many people, Chinese war horses, mainly Mongolian horse breeds, are of inferior grade and low quality, and they are inferior horse breeds, which are completely inferior to European and American war horses, and this 'truth' is the same as the conclusion.

……

It is undeniable that Liu Xian was also influenced by this view at the beginning of his crossing. However, men are progressive, and since the formation of cavalry units, Mongolian horses have proven themselves excellent with their watches.

In terms of impact, explosiveness and weight, they are indeed inferior to European and American horse breeds. However, their strong survivability and excellent endurance allow them to stand at the pinnacle of military horses.

Hard-working, not afraid of cold, can adapt to extremely extensive feeding management, has strong vitality, and can survive in difficult and harsh conditions [maintain a good body for marching and combat].

The batch of Sanmeng and Heilongjiang healthy horses in Liu Xian's hands marched at a constant speed, traveling about 100 miles in four hours, without pressure. After being tamed, Mongolian horses can be brave and fearless on the battlefield.

Today, Liu Xian has completely thrown some of the 'knowledge' from his previous life into the processor of his brain. That's simply wrong.

Just look at the speed at which the Twist Army marched, and at the speed at which the marching speed of the Monk Lingqin's Marching Army, which lasted for several months of continuous pursuit and was completely mounted into the territory, could be seen.

In fact, in the plain environment, Mongolian horses travel 50~100 kilometers a day and can continue for more than 10 days; The sprint speed is recorded at 2 minutes 0.8 seconds at 1600 meters and 24 minutes and 12 seconds at 15.5 kilometers.

The first Mongolian horse endurance race after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the race distance is 100 kilometers, the race starts from the town of Amugulang in the left banner of the new Balhu to the east bank of the Wuersun River and then returns to the town of Amugulang, the race starts at 5 o'clock in the morning, and the champion horse completes the race in 3 hours. In 1950, the iron-hoofed horse of the Mongolian horses reached the finish line in 58 minutes at the 59-kilometer Naadam Massacre that year.

On June 29, 2006, the National Grassland Endurance Race was held in Xiwuzhumuqin Banner, Inner Mongolia, and the horses braved the rain to carry out a total distance of 30.5 kilometers. Two horses from Hulunbuir horse owner Taima Gabu took away the championship and runner-up of this competition respectively. One of the winning horses, 30.5 km, set a record time of 41 minutes and reached a speed of 44.63 km/h.

Liu Xian didn't know about these glorious records of Mongolian horses, and even the best horses under his command should not be as good as those horses in the endurance race and the Naadam conference, but a passing score of 60 is always okay, right?

Liu Xian is now traveling fifty miles a day, and he is still on his own territory, and there is no pressure at all. After the team arrived at Songpan Hall in early April, the horses in the army did not even lose weight.

Liu Xian's department, which was stationed in Songpan, ushered in his last period in the Han region. Soon they will be crossing from Songpan to Qinghai. After that, Tibetans, Mongolians, Uyghurs, etc., are all over the front, but there are no traces of Han people.

In the great northwest of this era, after deducting Gansu, how many Han people are living in Qinghai and Xinjiang?

Is there a million?

Is there 500,000?

After the catastrophe of the Xinjiang rebellion, do the 300,000 Han people have them?

It is Liu Xian's heart, and the moment he enters the Songpan Hall is also extremely complicated. The officers and soldiers under his command need not say much.

Therefore, although Liu Xian knew that Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, the two famous scenic spots in the later world, were both in the territory of Songpan Hall [now Aba Autonomous Prefecture], he never had a trace of the idea of going to see it from beginning to end. Not a single bit!

Songpan Hall is a state of Zhili, with the fifth rank of state official, and he will not have the slightest right to speak in front of Liu Xian.

And it is clear from the fact that this place was an autonomous prefecture in later generations, and there are many ethnic minorities. Although the autonomous prefectures, autonomous counties, and autonomous towns in later generations were only said to be like that, the vast majority of them were Han Chinese. But at the moment, Songpan Hall is definitely a mixed Han family. Tibetans and Qiang occupy a considerable part of the right to speak.

The local guides that Zhizhou found for the expeditionary army, there were only five Han people, two and a half percent. The remaining ten are Tibetans, three are Mongols, and two are Qiang.

Among the 14 large merchants invited to the yamen of the state capital in the name of Liu Xian, Han people only occupied nine seats, and aside from foreign merchants, there were only four local Han merchants. Among the local forces, they all occupy less than half of the seats.

On the third day of the expeditionary army's entry into Songpan, Liu Xian set up a sumptuous banquet in the state yahua hall. The guests were 14 large local merchants in Songpan. In addition to the nine Han merchants, five Fan merchants, two Tibetans, two Mongolians, and one Qiang.

The host is Liu Xian, accompanied by Wang Wendian of Zhizhou, Pan Feipeng and Huo Guangzheng.

Not to mention the nine Han merchants, the five merchants wore silk and satin, melon skin hats, and thin-soled boots, and there was no trace of the Fan people. The Chinese dialect is also called a liliu, and the official taste is very positive.

Of the five merchants, except for the Mongol Uzhumuqin family, which is considered a commoner in the general sense, the other four are all heads. But even if they are the leaders, they are deep in sinicization, and they also know what kind of status Liu Xian's side of the admiral is. I was very moved by Liu Xian's courtesy, drank and chatted, and knew everything about Liu Xianam's questioning in Qinghai. After three rounds of drinking, Liu Xian got up and said: "Zhugong is a local virtuous, and today our army passes through Guixiang, and it is a blessing in a certain life to be able to meet through this." ”

An old man in the Han Dynasty immediately stood up and replied: "When Liu Junmen was in danger, he led his army to attack the border and resist rebellion. ”

Liu Xian smiled, "Thank you for your kindness." Sir, please be seated. "This old man's surname is Huang, and he is the first Han merchant in Songpan Hall, and his family has settled here in the Ming Dynasty. It has a huge influence among the local Han people.

After the old man sat down, Liu Xian continued: "A certain person went to Xinjiang by the holy decree of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and the Emperor, and he should swear to the death of the thief and settle my border." It's just that the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first, and this military supply is the first important thing for the expedition......"

"When the national disaster is at the head, the husband is responsible. Although the number is poor, I can't come up with any large sums of money. I would also like to express my heart. Willing to give a thousand taels ......"

Fourteen businesses are all old foxes. When I received the invitation from Zhizhou, I knew in my heart that I was going to be stabbed. In private, regardless of past disputes and grievances, they have long colluded with each other.

You will give five hundred taels, I will give six hundred taels, and another will give four hundred taels. With five hundred taels of silver as the criterion, according to the strength of each other, the amount of one or two hundred taels is left and right......
