Zhang Jiashi's command is not without people who breed carrier pigeons to convey news, but for such things as carrier pigeons, Zhang Jiashi's heart is more than hehe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info please search and see the most complete! The fastest updated novel

Reality is not a TV series, let alone a novel. It's like the kind of carrier pigeon that is similar to "Langya Bang" to convey the success rate...... Well, there are no birds of prey in that worldview, right? right? (Important things to say three times.) ）

"Of course, even if there are no carrier pigeons, and there are flying streams, don't worry about it. The voice of mystery sounded......

......

Zhang Jiashi used carrier pigeons a lot of times, and the corresponding civil and military officials under his command were quite intensive in the use of carrier pigeons.

In addition to orders that really need to be conveyed by a herald, less important messages tend to be conveyed using carrier pigeons, and the more urgent they are, the more often they are used.

And there is a situation that is worth thinking about, that is, even if the official use of carrier pigeons to pass the way, it has to use the way of fishermen casting nets, rather than sending them out one by one.

And even so, Zhang Jiashi even received 5 carrier pigeons and released them together, but the carrier pigeons in the hands of the person who should receive the news ...... Not a single one.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Jiashi can only hehe.

......

Carrier pigeons, also known as "correspondence pigeons", are a breed derived, developed and bred from the pigeons commonly seen in life. It has been domesticated by ordinary pigeons, extracted from its superior performance side and used and cultivated, people use carrier pigeons because pigeons have a natural instinct to return to the nest, people breed, develop, use it to transmit vital information. Now the main use of carrier pigeons is racing.

The way pigeons are bred has a lot to do with their ethnicity:

First of all, the pigeons are very active during the day and eat and drink frequently. In the evening, they rest quietly in the shed. However, trained pigeons can fly in the dark of night if they do not return to their habitat before evening, and even at night.

Pigeons are alert and easily disturbedIn their daily lives, pigeons are alert and sensitive to stimuli around them. Flashes of light, strange sounds, moving objects, unusual colours, etc., can cause a flock of pigeons to stir and flutter. Therefore, in the management of the pigeon flock to pay attention to keep the surrounding environment quiet, especially at night to prevent rats, snakes, cats, dogs and other infestations, so as not to cause chaos in the pigeon flock, affect the normal life of the pigeon flock.

Pigeons have a strong memory, and can form certain habits and even strong reflexes for fixed feeds, feeding management procedures, environmental conditions and call signals. For those who take care of it regularly, get close to it quickly and remember it. If they are treated roughly, it is often detrimental to the management of the house. Pigeons are also habitual animals, and it takes a period of time to gradually adjust to change their original habits. Therefore, in the management of pigeon breeding, daily feeding management procedures and environmental conditions should be fixed. In order to ensure high production efficiency.

The pigeons have a strong homing character, whether domestic or wild.

Generally speaking, their birthplace is the place where they live all their lives, and any unfamiliar place is not an ideal place for pigeons, and they are not at ease to stay, and they always want to return to their "hometown", especially when they encounter danger and horror, this "home" desire is stronger. If a pigeon is released 100 miles or 100 miles away from home, it will try to return as fast as possible, and will not want to stay or perch in any unfamiliar place on the way.

The carrier pigeon is a pigeon breed that is bred in this way as the main breeding method.

Two new pigeon breeds have been developed from the pigeon system, one is the racing pigeon and the other is the military pigeon.

A pigeon is a pigeon that is dedicated to racing races. In the process from keeping to stocking, people found that the pigeon had the ability to recognize the nest, and then consciously brought the pigeon to place B and made it fly back to place A, which produced the communication pigeon. When people saw that the pigeons came home first, they germinated the desire to race with pigeons for fun, and thus developed into a noble sport of racing. In order to win the competition, people have devoted themselves to research and exploration in breeding, breeding and training, and constantly try to improve, and finally formed a new breed of pigeon.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the breeder Ullian from Antwerp, Belgium, combined the rock wave pigeon with the Persian carrier pigeon, the flying pigeon and the Schmidt pigeon to breed the world's best breed, known as the originator of pigeon racing.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty in China, people have used pigeons to race for fun, and organized the corresponding "pigeon release club" group. "Cantonese New Language": "In May and June, people will release pigeons,...... Choose the one who returns first, and wrap the pigeon's neck with a bonus. ”

Pigeons are generally not very large, with an adult of about 500 grams and a hen of about 450 grams. The bones are stiff, the muscles are plump, the eyes are bright, the feathers are thin and tight, and the feathers are mainly raindrops, black, red, gray, white, flowers and so on.

The traditional racing pigeon breeds include Dai Lisa pigeon, Chinese blue pigeon, Chinese pink gray pigeon, red blood and blue eye pigeon, Chinese owl, racing Holm pigeon, Antwerp pigeon, scorching sun pigeon, American flying pigeon and so on. According to the schedule, it can be divided into short, medium and long distance pigeons, long distance pigeons and extreme long distance pigeons. In order to improve the homing performance and flying performance of the pigeons, it is necessary to select the breeding pigeons and carry out scientific breeding management and training.

The criteria for the selection of pigeons are well-developed and powerful bones, tight, firm and shiny feathers, and strong and elastic skin. The wings are wide, the eyes are brightly colored, and more importantly, the pedigree is excellent. The shorter middle distance sprint pigeon and the extreme long distance endurance pigeon have their own characteristics.

The military pigeon is also known as the military pigeon, the war pigeon, the carrier pigeon that serves in the army and serves in the field.

Military pigeons, used in the army to transmit military intelligence, documents, items are called military pigeons, and used for civilian people are called communication pigeons. Military pigeon communication has the characteristics of rapid transmission, strong confidentiality, simple usage, low cost, and easy popularization. The practice of military pigeons has proved that it can carry out "one-way communication, round-trip communication, mobile communication, liuzhi communication and night communication, so at present, many countries with modern military equipment, including the United States and Russia, still have special institutions to raise and train military pigeons for their use.

Military pigeons are known as "military communication soldiers" by human beings, and the communication role of military pigeons in the war is impressive, and China is one of the earliest countries in the world to use military pigeons.

In later generations, the military pigeon team not only trained the military pigeon to go home from a distance, but also trained the military pigeon to fight wits and courage with the eagle. Eagles are the natural enemies of pigeons, and there are as many as 25 species of eagles in Yunnan Province. The eagle dives twice as fast as the pigeon, but the pigeon flies upwards faster than the eagle, and the level flight speed is the same as that of the eagle, reaching 3,000 meters in a minute. Therefore, the instructors of the military pigeon team use training military pigeons to fly flat and upward to get rid of the eagles. The pigeons trained in the military pigeon base are all masters of teasing the eagles, so that the eagles are beyond the reach of the pigeons.

The military pigeon base also trains military pigeons to be fearless in the sound of guns. Pigeons are timid, and untrained pigeons are so frightened that they don't even dare to go home when they hear the sound of guns. But the pigeons that have been trained by the military pigeon base are able to move forward in the rain of bullets.

Human beings use pigeons to transmit information has a history of thousands of years, our country domesticates carrier pigeons have a long history, according to legend, Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty, Ban Chao envoys to the Western Regions, they have used carrier pigeons as a means of contact, Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling used "flying slave to pass the book" when he was young. Among them, the flying slaves are carrier pigeons. Song Gaozong also likes to raise pigeons, often release them personally, so there are "ten thousand pigeons circling around the imperial capital, the twilight harvest dynasty releases labor, how to raise geese from the south, the desert can pass the two holy books" verse. When the Olympiad was held in ancient Greece, carrier pigeons were used to spread the names of the winners.

Ancient voyagers would also bring a few pigeons with them when they went to sea, and used them to deliver news or bring their return dates to distant relatives.

During the First World War, many countries attached great importance to military pigeons, and every time the army occupied an important town adjacent to the enemy, the first thing to order the enemy to surrender weapons and military pigeons, as seen in the data, the number of military pigeons used during the First World War was as high as 60,000. (The total number of pigeons used by both sides of the war.) ）

During the Second World War, military pigeons played a role in many battles and made great achievements.

There was a carrier pigeon called "Forest Han", who was only four months old, and followed the US Air Force to the rear of the Japanese army that invaded Burma at that time, and the unit lost its radio transmitter when parachuting and lost contact with the command headquarters; a few days later the scouts collected important information about the Japanese army, and the military pigeon of the "Forest Han" flew more than 300 miles in the mountains and wilderness with this information, and sent back the information, which played a vital role in the "US army" to occupy this area.

Another time, the Kunming pigeon "Plateau Raindrop" hen trained by the U.S. Army served in the expeditionary force commanded by General Stilwell of the U.S. Army, and in the Yunnan-Burma occupation campaign, a unit of the "Allied Army" was surrounded by superior Japanese troops in Burma, the radio station was destroyed, the telephone lines were all cut off, and all contact with the command was cut off, so this detachment put the besieged location, let the "Raindrop" fly more than 900 kilometers in nine hours, bring the information back, the troops should be reconciled with the outside world, so that the battle turned defeat into victory, and this "Plateau Raindrop" was also awarded" Empress of Burma", General Stilwell ordered a pure gold foot ring to be made and put on.

The former Soviet Union also attached great importance to military pigeon communications, and there was a saying of "three more" in the Soviet Union's border guards, which were more tanks, more military dogs, and more military pigeons.

In 1958, a black pigeon that you called a "heroic military pigeon" was wounded and bleeding in a battle in a certain place on the border of Yunnan, but it still flew with wounds and brought the outpost back to the headquarters, and the commander immediately sent cavalry to the accident point to annihilate the remnants of Chiang's bandits who had entered the country. In 1964, a certain border defense unit in Yunnan went to the border to deal with the situation and used the military pigeons it carried to continuously send the situation back to the headquarters to ensure smooth communications. In 1976, the Yunnan border militia cooperated with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to track the enemy in the forest, and used two carrier pigeons to send information back to the border village in succession, effectively supporting the battle.

Military pigeons can not only establish meritorious deeds in military communications, but also leave a good story of taking medicine to save people. Once, a border company had an emergency sick number, the doctor needed to go to the regiment headquarters to get medicine after diagnosis, because of the high road, if you send someone to pick up the back and forth to take two days, it will seriously threaten the patient's life safety, so the military pigeon staff boldly use the military pigeon to take medicine, four military pigeons at the same time, only 30 minutes to retrieve the medicine, so that the sick person turned the danger into safety, which shows that the military pigeon can not only transmit information and transport goods, a young and strong military pigeon can drive about 50 grams of items.

And even if human beings have entered the era of satellite communications, but the military pigeons of the armies of the world still occupy an important position in the army, and the military pigeon has the characteristics of "simple, flexible, fast and accurate", which is more suitable for use in border and coastal defense areas. Under special conditions, such as reconnaissance behind enemy lines, in emergency situations where modern electronic communication equipment or wired telecommunications may be eavesdropped or sabotaged, military pigeon communication is the best choice. In 2001, when the Xinjiang Border Armed Police Patrol Detachment was hit by a snowstorm, when it was isolated in the vast snowfield, it relied on military pigeons to send messages, and the superiors sent rescue troops in time, so that the patrol team was out of danger.

In the history of later generations, there were also quite famous military pigeons.

British Army Meritorious pigeon Gjou:

The most famous decorated military pigeon during World War II. On 18 July, the British 56th Royal Infantry Brigade requested Allied air fire support in order to quickly break through the German lines. After the battle began, the British quickly overcame the German resistance and occupied the defensive line. If the original plan for coordinated ground and air operations is followed, the bombs dropped by the air force will explode on their own heads. At a critical juncture, the infantry commander released the military pigeon "Gejiu". "Gejiu" lived up to the trust and quickly sent the information to the headquarters. At this point, the pilot was immediately ready to take off. In recognition of "Gejiu", the Mayor of London, England, awarded it a "Deakin Medal", which is the highest award for animal heroes.

U.S. Army Meritorious Pigeon "Forest Man":

In World War II, the four-month-old "Forest Han" parachuted into the rear of the Japanese garrison in Burma with the US reconnaissance detachment. When the troops parachuted, the radio operator died, and the reconnaissance detachment lost contact with the command. Seven days later, the detachment collected a large amount of information about the Japanese army. They released the "Forest Man". With the information collected by the reconnaissance detachment, the "forest man" flew over the mountains and jungles, traveled more than 360 kilometers, and delivered the information to the Allied headquarters in a timely manner. The "Forest Man" died in 1953, and his body was made into a specimen and placed in the museum for posterity to see.

Heroic Military Pigeon:

Chinese Meritorious Pigeon. In 1958, during the battle to suppress bandits on the Yunnan border, a military pigeon of the black strain of the forest flew dozens of kilometers with an arrow wound to send military information to the leading organs in a timely manner. The troops immediately sent out cavalry and annihilated the bandits. Afterwards, this military pigeon was awarded the glorious title of "Heroic Military Pigeon".

Zhang Jiashi knows very well that military pigeons may be able to make up for some of the shortcomings of the carrier pigeon system, but from the current way of domesticating pigeons, military pigeons are still an unattainable idea for him. (To be continued.) )
