Chu Yiyi turned over and got on the horse, and ran around the fence on a bare horse with agility, which attracted everyone's applause!

"Humph!" Shi Yan pouted angrily and turned around to leave, but her good sister Zheng Lina next to her patted Shi Yan's back with her hand and grabbed it.

Chu Yiyi ran back with a slight touch on the horse's back, and jumped down like a butterfly, which caused the people around him to applaud loudly!

"Yo~! I didn't see it, my sister also worked in the circus, this horse is really good! When will you teach us too? Shi Yan Run.

"Hehe, my sister laughed, riding a horse is a simple matter, after all, this horse is much simpler than a person, and my sister will come to me when she wants to learn!" Chu Yiyi smiled indifferently at Shi Yan, and said in a brocade hidden needle.

"Chu Yiyi, the gift you want to give me won't be this red horse, right?" Zhang Xiaoguang looked at Chu Yiyi's heroic posture on the horse, and his eyes were greedy.

"Commissar, you're right, it's this red horse that I'm going to give you, it's I trained it in the past two years. I usually ride and play in the botanical and botanical gardens by myself, but now I'll give it to you! ”

Zhang Xiaoguang was overjoyed when he heard this, turned over the fence, and gently stroked the back of the red horse! The horse was a little hid at first, but soon recognized Zhang Xiaoguang, which made the people around him envious.

"Why did you think of giving me this horse!" Zhang Xiaoguang couldn't close his mouth when he smiled.

"This horse is the kind of Mongolian horse I introduced to you last time. This kind of horse is native to the Mongolian plateau, in a semi-wild state of survival, do not look at their short size, their appearance is not good, but they have thick skin and thick hair, can withstand Siberian blizzards, can withstand the cold of minus 40 degrees! I think that in the future, when the gasoline and diesel will run out, then we will have to walk on our legs. It's so cold outside, and only a few animals can get around. This pony is a thank you gift from the commissar for helping me and the animals! Chu Yiyi said sincerely.

These words attracted the attention of Zheng Haotian next to him, "Chu Yiyi, you say, can your horse survive outside now?" ”

"Of course." Chu Yiyi stroked her hair, "Does the chief of staff want it too?" There are a few more horses here, but they haven't been trained! ”

"No, I just feel that what you just said makes sense." Zheng Haotian shook his hand. "Maybe you really won't be able to find gasoline and diesel in the future, and since your kind of horse, since it can adapt to the current climate, it is likely to become the main transportation force of our Silver Dawn, or even a war horse! By the way, can this horse be ridden in battle? ”

Chu Yiyi smiled slightly, and said proudly: "Chief of Staff, you don't know this!" Mongolian horses have been one of the best choices for war horses since ancient times! This horse has strong bones and full muscles, and although it is not good at jumping, it must not have internal diseases; It is not easy to be injured during sports, recovers quickly, is resistant to rough feeding, and is not easy to lose fat, which ensures its survival under extremely poor conditions; The hoof is abnormally hard, the lungs are well developed so that their breathing can adapt to the overloaded camel load, the Mongolian horse has dense eyelashes, no eye disease, better vision than other horse breeds, and a slightly milder degree of color blindness; The joints do not protrude, making them better at walking with weights. Riding a Mongolian horse is smooth and comfortable, not to mention being able to walk on a variety of terrains! "Chu Yiyi's knowledge of animals and plants is at his fingertips.

"Chu Yiyi is right!" Gao Zhenshan also leaned over, nodded and said: "I also learned about war horses back then, this kind of Mongolian horse, hardworking, not afraid of cold, can adapt to extremely extensive feeding management, has strong vitality, and can survive in difficult and harsh conditions." It can be walked for about 60 kilometers in 8 hours. The well-trained Mongolian horse, which is not frightened or deceived on the battlefield, is extremely brave, and has always been a good military horse. At that time, Genghis Khan's cavalry was invincible in the world, and their cavalry crotch was this kind of horse! ”

Guo Jiming next to him listened energetically and said excitedly: "That's great!" Let's just give each of us a horse, and we'll be cavalrymen instead!" ”

Chu Yiyi smiled bitterly, "Now there are only a dozen of them, of which the old horses and ponies account for nearly half, you really want to ride, it's okay to ride out two or three horses to patrol or pass on the message, if you want to become an army ......, there are really not so many!" ”

"How many horses can be given, and the others will grow slowly!" Guo Jiming did not relent.

Seeing his friend's rival in love in the limelight, he annoyed Zheng Lina next to him, and stretched out his hand and twisted Guo Jiming Guo Jiming's waist, "Shuai Guo, just match you with a mare, and you will slowly give birth when you turn around!" ”

Guo Jiming was attacked, and he didn't know what he was wrong, so he had to shut up honestly, and secretly looked at Zheng Lina with big eyes. Zheng Lina glared, and Guo Jiming hurriedly fled behind Zheng Haotian.

"Actually, if you really want to develop cavalry, it's not impossible!" Gao Zhenshan frowned and thought for a while, "I remember that the cavalry is not all purebred Mongolian horses, most of them are hybrid improved horses, and they only need to have the blood of Mongolian horses." Since we are recruiting troops now, we might as well buy some horses, buy back the horses that are not needed in the countryside now, and combine them with these purebred Mongolian horses to speed up the breeding of the horse herd. In this way, the newborn pony will become the mount of our cavalry. ”

"Huh? Waiting for a newborn pony? Wait for them to grow up! How long will it take? Gao Wei pushed Qiu Ruotong's father and interjected beside him.

"It takes about three years for a pony to be born and ready to ride!" Chu Yiyi said.

"So long?" Zhang Xiaoguang frowned.

Gao Zhenshan said with a smile: "This is already very good, you know, the life span of Mongolian horses can reach thirty years, and the time that can be ridden is about fifteen years, you only need to wait for three years, and you can get a war horse that can be used for fifteen years, which is already very suitable!" ”

"Alright then!" Zhang Xiaoguang also knew that this was not a matter of urgency. "Are there still horses in the countryside now?"

"There's always some left, let the propaganda car go out and shout tomorrow." Zheng Haotian didn't know the bottom in his heart, after all, there are agricultural machinery now, who can still use horses.

……

At the next day's regular meeting, two things were put on the table. Both of these things have something to do with yesterday's horse.

The first is Pan Yue, the captain of the logistics brigade. Yesterday, Chu Yiyi's words also attracted Pan Yue's attention, and later Pan Yue went to the oil depot to check it, and the result surprised him. In the past month or so, the oil depot has actually consumed one-tenth! In other words, the existing oil, if it is consumed at the current rate, can probably be used for about nine months.

Of course, this month, because of the construction of a new base, a variety of engineering equipment consumed a lot of fuel, so that the oil depot consumption is too large, and when the construction is completed, there is no such a large monthly consumption, however, this also reminds the base that oil is now a non-renewable resource!

In the end, it was decided that in the future, oil would no longer be used unless necessary, and oil would be designated as the base's top combat readiness material along with food. In the future, the means of transportation at the base, mainly sleds, horse-drawn carriages, and automobiles, were temporarily discontinued. Chu Yiyi contributed four more reindeer, and the reindeer sleigh was much larger than the dog sled.

The second thing is the news that the propaganda car brought back last night. Yesterday afternoon, I found a few horses in a house. The family raised a few horses, which were used to go to the scenic spot to make money. Tourists can ride horses around the scenic area if they give money. Now there is no scenic spot at all, of course the family does not need a horse, hearing the propaganda car shouting to buy a horse, the head of the household rushed out, expressing his willingness to exchange the horse for something. In the end, after discussing with the propagandists for a long time, the head of the household said that he would use the residence rights of his family of three to enter the base in exchange for his horse! The propagandists can't be this family, so they can only come back and ask.

When Chu Yiyi heard this, he said that he could accept it, because this head of the household could just come to help Chu Yiyi take care of the horses. After all, the head of the household originally raised horses, and he had some foundation, which was very cost-effective for the base to get a horse and give it to an individual.

Zhang Xiaoguang discussed it with Zheng Haotian and agreed, but he had to tell the head of the household that when he came to the base, he had to abide by the discipline of the base, and if there was any violation of law and discipline, he would still be kicked out.

The propaganda car also brought back another news, which was said by the head of the horse household, saying that in Guo Town, there is a horse farm, and there are at least 100 horses in it! It was from there that the head of the household's horse was bought.

"I remember, we are in Guo Town, and we have a friend!" Zhang Xiaoguang nodded at the table.

"It seems that this Guo Town, we really have to go on a trip, whether it is for people or horses!" Zheng Haotian has been thinking about Fang Neng, the fish that slipped through the net.

Gao Zhenshan nodded, "Eliminate the evil, and the province will become a scourge in the future!" ”

"Let's send someone to investigate first." Zheng Haotian said: "After all, it is someone else's territory. ”

"It's natural, and I already have the right scout, he should be familiar with the local situation!" Gao Zhenshan smiled slightly.

"Lin Tianhao!" Everyone said in unison!

……

It was snowing again outside, and the thick clouds blocked the glimmer of midday, and it seemed that the heavens and the earth had entered the eternal night again.

Although the flashlight was on, the heavy snow blocked the light, and the light of the flashlight could not go far.

Lin Tianhao is very uncomfortable with this equipment.

Usually in Dalinzhuang, they are all neat and short-handed, and at most they hold a knife, gun, stick or something in their hands. It's good now, backpacks, water bottles, satchels, rifles, ......, and a pair of shoes are inserted in the backpack, which Lin Tianhao can accept, but what are the bricks stuffed in the backpack for? Do you really have to shoot a brick to death? How much does the leader of this base hate it, even the bricks have to be carried! Lin Tianhao didn't say much, and he was confused, but he didn't ask. There was only one Cao Laili who was traveling with him, and he didn't talk much, let alone tell him, this was basic weight-bearing training.

Although Lin Tianhao is good, after all, he only practiced kung fu at home, and did not conduct military training, and the speed of the two in the snow was not fast, and they set off in the morning until eight o'clock at night before arriving in Guozhen.
