On October 16, the first snow in Kunzhou came as scheduled, and the sky was full of goose feather snowflakes, which soon dyed the land of Kunzhou with a layer of white.

At the end of October, another blizzard swept towards Kunzhou, turning Kunzhou into a snowy world, the temperature plummeted, and crystal icicles appeared on the branches, but at this time, it was not the coldest time, and it was not until the end of November and the beginning of December that Kunzhou entered the real cold season.

It was the fifth day of November, and a cavalry corps of 100 men was marching northeast along the coast, and after mid-October, the sea was so rough that it was no longer suitable for navigation, so it had to be carried along the coast on horseback.

This is also due to the influence of the Kuroshio Current, the east coast of Kunzhou is not frozen, and the snow is smaller than that of the hinterland, so you can barely ride north.

The cold wind was bitter, and the cavalry team withstood the strong cold wind and struggled forward, and the official led by the cavalry team was none other than Fanning.

A month ago, the officials and shepherds of the Northern Horse Farm transferred thousands of war horses to the Eastern Horse Farm, and the situation was not very optimistic, which really worried Fanning, and while he could still ride north, Fanning decided to come and see for himself.

The Eastern Horse Farm is located three hundred miles away from Tang County, but in this short three hundred miles, Fanning and his men walked for three days, and this morning, the cavalry passed through a hill, stood on the hill, and saw a row of black dots more than ten miles away, and the horse shed of the Eastern Ranch finally saw it.

The eastern horse farm is about 500 miles long and nearly 300 miles wide, and although it also snows here, it is not big, but it is shallow with a layer of snow on the ground, and many deer herds will also come here for the winter.

At present, the meat of the Kunzhou soldiers is provided by more than 100,000 deer, but there must be cattle and sheep in the future, and now there are 3,000 sheep and more than 400 cattle, which is far from enough.

Fan Ning and his entourage arrived at the temporary official office of the Eastern Racecourse, and Yang Yun, the capital supervisor, hurriedly came out to greet him, and Fan Ning drank a cup of hot tea a little, and asked Yang Yun to take him to the horse shed to inspect.

The Song army built ten huge horse sheds in the eastern horse farm, each with hundreds of war horses, which would be released free range during the day and rushed back to the horse barn to feed at night.

"What do you mean by saying in your letter that the intelligence of the war horse is not good?" Fanning asked after inspecting the stable.

Yang Yun sighed and said, "Another three hundred and forty horses are sick and dead!" ”

Fan Ning frowned, and more than three hundred war horses had died, which made him very heartbroken, and he hurriedly asked, "Why are there still a large number of deaths?" Could it be related to forage poisoning? ”

Yang Yun shook his head, "This time has nothing to do with pasture, but the cold, the more than 5,000 horses selected this time have all grown up in the Central Plains, and have not experienced such severe cold, some weak horses can not adapt to the cold and fall ill, in fact, the previous poisonous weeds have eliminated a large number of weak horses, otherwise the horses that died of illness will die more." ”

Fanning looked around, he felt that although the wind was very strong, the temperature was not very cold, similar to the Central Plains, at most minus four or five degrees, and a horse shed was built, and the weak horses should spend the winter in the horse barn, how could they not stand the cold and die? He really didn't understand.

Yang Yun understood Fan Ning's doubts, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, it is also caused by our lack of experience, I didn't expect the cold wave to come so quickly, and I didn't expect the Kun people to have to rush back to the tribe before the snow, which caught us off guard, and the transfer of the last batch of horses was a little late in time, and we only set off in mid-October, the snow in the north was very heavy, much larger than in the south, and the climate was very cold, and the last batch of horses traveled thousands of miles in the snow, and it was this group of horses that lost thirty percent." ”

Fanning nodded, "It doesn't seem to be a problem with the Eastern Racecourse!" ”

"Yes!"

Yang Yun was ashamed and said: "It's not a natural disaster, but we haven't done it meticulously enough." ”

Fanning smiled and comforted him: "We are all coming to Kunzhou for the first time, and it is normal to encounter all kinds of difficulties, the key is that we must learn lessons and sum up experience, and I believe that the situation will be much better next year." ”

"Yes! I also believe that it will get better and better. ”

The two rode to the grassland, and when Fanning saw that the horses were quietly looking for grass in the snow, he asked, "Is there still grass now?" ”

Yang Yun shook his head, "Of course, there is a little grass under the snow, but it is not the reason to release it, because the climate here is relatively warm, so let the horses out in the morning, and they will rush back to the horse shed in the afternoon, mainly because being locked in the horse shed for a long time is not good for their body and mind, and they will be fed and fed at night to raise their fat." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yun smiled again: "Fan Yushi will stay here for a few days and then go back!" ”

Fan Ning looked up at the gloomy sky, shook his head and said, "There are many things in Tang County, I will go back early tomorrow morning." ”

．．．．．．．

Three days later, Fanning and his entourage returned to Tang County, he asked the soldiers to go back to the barracks to rest, he took Xu Qing to a restaurant, this restaurant is called Quanzhou Restaurant, the proprietor of the shop is from Quanzhou, far away in a foreign country, taking the name of his hometown, it is also a kind of comfort.

As soon as Fan Ning arrived in front of the restaurant, he heard a woman's cry, followed by the sound of broken dishes, only to hear the shopkeeper pleading: "Master Jun, our small shop sells wine and does not sell herself, you can let her go!" ”

"Bullshit!"

A fierce voice came from upstairs, "Don't sell too many fans in the Da Song Restaurant, she is a woman of the Japanese country, uncle, I take a fancy to her is her blessing, she must go to the barracks with Lao Tzu today." ”

Fanning's face sank suddenly, there were more than a dozen Japanese girls in each restaurant who made wine girls, and the soldiers had come to drink two glasses of wine, and it was common to laugh with them, but they had never forced wine girls to sell themselves.

Although Di Qing's army is known for its strict military discipline, these soldiers are not Di Qing's descendants of the Northwest Army after all, but the naval army of the southeast coast.

Xu Qing was furious, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go upstairs, but Fan Ning grabbed him, "Wait a minute!" ”

He pulled Xu Qing to the side, and after a while, he saw a five-year-old and three-thick officer holding a crying wine girl downstairs, followed by seven or eight subordinates.

They walked to the southeast group of wooden houses, where more than 100 wooden houses were empty, belonging to the army, reserved for the military family to live in next year's visit to Kunzhou.

Fan Ning watched the officer take the wine Ji hostage and left, turned back to Xu Qing and said, "Go find Di Shuai!" ”

Xu Qing rushed away, and at this time, the shopkeeper ran down from the second floor, looking at Jiu Ji being held hostage, and was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

He turned around and saw Fan Ning, and hurriedly knelt down and begged, "Fan Yushi, save that child!" She's only fourteen! ”

Fanning asked calmly, "You tell me what's going on first?" ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "Qin Dutou has long taken a fancy to this wine lady, and he comes to drink every other day, and every time he gives her a few pennies, he gives a small favor and a small favor, and it is good to get along with him, but yesterday he was drunk and teased the wine girl with his hands and feet, which frightened the little lady, and today Qin Dutou came again, and Fan Yushi also saw it, and he actually forced his hand to rob people." ”

Fan Ning nodded, "Then you go with me to accuse this Qin Dutou." ”

The shopkeeper's eyes were timid, how could he dare to offend these soldiers, otherwise he would not have watched Jiu Ji being arrested.

Seeing that he was afraid, Fanning couldn't help but snort, "If you are afraid, the tavern will not be peaceful in the future!" ”

The shopkeeper was shocked, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, "The villain is going to complain to Di Shuai!" ”

Fanning then turned and walked briskly towards the group of wooden houses.

There were still more than 100 steps away from the wooden houses, and I saw Di Qing rushing out of the barracks on horseback with a large group of soldiers, Di Qing urged the horse to run in front, holding a long sword in his hand, and his face was full of anger.

Fan Ning quickened his pace and greeted Di Qing and his party, Di Qing said to Fan Ning with some dissatisfaction: "Why didn't Fan Yushi stop them in time in the restaurant?" ”

Fan Ning said lightly: "To rectify military discipline, we need to make an example, and I think Di Shuai also needs to find a bird." ”

Although Fan Ning's words made Di Qing feel uncomfortable, Di Qing also secretly admired Fan Ning's quick response and strong capture timing, if he intervened too early, it would not have much effect.

Di Qing snorted for a while, "Where's that bastard?" ”

"Di Shuai went to the wooden houses in front, and there were soldiers guarding it!"

Di Qing urged his horse to rush towards the wooden houses with his men, and at this time, the soldiers guarding the door had already found the commander running with a large group of cavalry, and they hurriedly knocked on the door and shouted: "Dutou, Di Shuai is here!" ”

There was a panic in the wooden house, the door opened, and an officer ran out in disheveled clothes, it was Qin Dutou who robbed the wine queen, it was too late for him to escape, he was just blocked by Di Qing and the cavalry, Qin Dutou was helpless, so he had to step forward and kneel down on one knee in a worried mood, "See the big handsome!" ”

Di Qing saw the wine girl who had been stripped naked in the wooden house, he was immediately furious, and pointed at Qin Du's head with a horsewhip, "Tie me up!" Brought back to the barracks for court-martial. ”

Although Qin Dutou is only the head of the capital, he is so arrogant, a big reason is that he is the countryman of the deputy general Lin Rui, the two grew up together, and Lin Rui supported him, so he has always been unscrupulous.

Qin Du was in a hurry, and hurriedly gave his subordinates a look, asking them to go to Lin Rui for help.
