On the way back to Anbei City, Liang En and the others checked the coastline, but fortunately they did not see any traces of large-scale landings except for the traces of the previous landing of the horses.

After returning to the port of Anbei Port, Liang En immediately summoned his subordinates again and informed them of his northward journey, and at the same time issued an order to lower the level of vigilance of the military.

"It's a good thing for us to have such a bunch of centaurs on board." When Liang En finished speaking, the Supreme Military Commander Qi Qi's expression looked obviously a little happy.

The reason for this happiness is simple: although the island's army is now elite from the point of view of the militia, there are still various problems.

For example, the current army is still inferior in field warfare as a whole, so many times they try their best to turn offensive warfare into positional warfare to avoid their own shortcomings.

Another example is that they lack enough cavalry, which often makes it impossible to complete more complex movements and intersperse battles, or to eliminate as much of the enemy's living force as possible by chasing and killing after victory.

Although the former problem has improved significantly after this period of training, it is not so easy to make up for the latter problem when there are not enough horses.

Liang En did try to collect excellent war horses from modern times, but it was very difficult, because the cavalry of the modern world had long been eliminated by various armored combat vehicles and helicopters, and the war horses naturally disappeared.

Isabella bought dozens of horses as samples and sent them over, but these horses were either pull-backs and could not charge at all, or they were pure racing horses, completely unsuitable for the battlefield -

Although they are all horses, there is a huge difference between horses and horses, for example, horses as war horses do not necessarily require special speed, but whether it is endurance or weight-bearing capacity, the requirements are not low, and they cannot be sensitive.

Pulling a horse requires sufficient strength and endurance, as well as a high level of disease resistance and insensitivity, not to say that you can pull a cart just by finding a horse.

Fortunately, due to the relatively late withdrawal of the horse from the stage of history, Liang En can still find enough horses for new horse breeding, but the real war horse is indeed difficult to find.

Liang tried to use the racehorses, but the horses were too sensitive to belong to the battlefield, and the horses were not qualified in all aspects except for the ability to charge short distances.

As a result, the island's army has only introduced some horses to carry baggage or tow artillery, and plans to replace them with machinery when the steam engine technology is stabilized.

As for the cavalry, there were also them, but they could only rely on Mongolian horses imported from the Central Plains, but they armed more than 30 people as a reconnaissance unit for the army, and did not blindly expand the scale.

And now the arrival of the horsemen has completely made up for the lack of cavalry, compared to human cavalry, horseman cavalry is faster and has stronger endurance with the same combat effectiveness.

What's more, this group of centaurs has cultivators who can cooperate, and with the centaurs armed with a large amount of steel, it is enough to form a real torrent of steel in this era.

Therefore, the next arrangement for the horsemen to go to the Tokachi Plains and allocate them land for the development of animal husbandry was quickly accepted, and according to the plan, the land for animal husbandry close to modern will be built here.

In other words, the land allocated to the horses was not traditional nomadic land, but modern pastoral land, because it was able to feed enough people on the limited land.

"It seems that a series of issues such as breed improvement, excellent livestock breeds, forage introduction, and the establishment of a green storage system need to be resolved as soon as possible." After all the subordinates left the office, Liang pressed his temples to think about what to do next.

Thankfully, because he had handed over information about the new crops and how to grow them, the imperial court sent a temple and several assistants.

So Liang felt that with the help of these professionals, they should be able to solve the problems that may arise after the introduction of species and technologies before the arrival of spring, and put those things to use.

"Knock knock—" Just as Liang En was about to take a break after finishing a series of things that had arisen due to the appearance of the centaurs, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Eleni!" Looking at the people who came in, Liang En quickly stood up and ushered the other party into the room, then prepared a cup of tea and put it on the table and thanked him.

"I have to thank you for the information you provided, thanks to your information, we were able to find the group of centaurs who had sneaked into the island and communicated with them."

"It's nothing, since I choose to live here, then the duties that should be fulfilled must be fulfilled." Eleni took a sip from her teacup and said with a smile.

"By the way, Your Highness, what are you doing coming to me now?" After sitting there and drinking tea for a while, Liang felt that he should not play with the princess who was professionally trained in royalty.

"Well, we want to be able to get a job of our own on the island, not sit back and eat like we are now." After seeing Liang En's straightforward question, Alini also answered directly.

"If I had to say it, you've treated us as guests until now, and you haven't really treated us as people on this island, and that's not what we want." Princess Eleni replied.

"Huh?" Hearing what the other party said, Liang En quickly recalled, but soon he frowned, and then lowered his voice and said.

"Princess, if I'm not mistaken, everyone has actually found their place: your lieutenant Mars is training my sailors, and another lieutenant, Gaius, is discussing agriculture with the people of the Saturnalia."

"As for the powerful knight named Appius, he is training my cold weapons unit, and then he will help train the cavalry. Although the knowledge he brought with him was not entirely applicable in this land, it did help us a lot. ”

"I know, I know." Princess Eleni took a sip of tea to hide her cheeks, which had suddenly turned red, and then said, "But...... But now the problem is that I haven't been able to find the right place for me here. ”

"I see." Liang En nodded with a serious face.

Obviously, this princess was the only one of the refugees from the Eastern Roman Empire who came last time and failed to find her place, so she only ran to find Liang En now.

But it is very difficult to arrange a job for this princess, after all, the identity of this princess and the credit he has made before make Liang En try to satisfy the other party when facing the other party, but this is not an easy thing.

"Can you ask what you're good at?" After thinking about it for a while, Liang En decided to start with the most basic aspects.

"I'm good at...... I'm good at fighting between transcendents, and I know everything about nobility, etiquette, heraldry, food, clothing, drink—"

Princess Eleni grew quieter the more she spoke, as she realized that everything she had at her disposal didn't mean much on this island.

"—I'm sorry, I'm a little presumptuous today." At the end, the princess stood up and saluted and prepared to leave, but Liang stopped her.

"Wait a minute, Princess Elenie, I think I have a job here that you can try—"
