Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 425 Surprise 【Subscription】

"Young general Hu Yanqing, I have met the king."

Hu Yanqing strode forward, the column of air above his head was thick and white, although it was light, there was absolutely no trace of red.They stepped forward together with Hu Yanzhuo, their steps were firm, their faces were calm, and they showed no signs of timidity, which made Lu Qian nod secretly.

The ancients said that those who have a thunder in their chest and a face like a flat lake can worship the general.This sentence refers to a person's courage.

It must be known that there are countless people like Qin Wuyang no matter in ancient or modern times.

Lu Qian is no longer the bandit mountain king in Liangshan Boli in the past. He controls the land of Qilu and Huainan, and sits in more than a dozen counties.

No one would look at Lu Qian today with a normal heart, but Hu Yanqing's calm expression made Lu Qian like it.

"Two generals, get up quickly." Lu Qian said to Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanqing in a hearty voice, "General Hu Yan has worked hard all the way. It is a great joy to be able to persuade the little general to serve for the king. It is just that there are so many in the army today. Brothers are here, you should get drunk at the luncheon!"

Shuangbian showed gratitude on his face, knowing that Lu Qian was setting the stage for him. "Your Majesty has said this, how can Hu Yanzhuo refuse. I will have a good drink with all the generals at noon."

Xiao Xuanfeng, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Lu Junyi, etc. in the hall were all amused when they heard the words.

Hu Yanqing's face also showed joy. Liang Shanjun's way of communicating with each other was completely different from that of me, but it was more to the man's taste.

"The little general also needs to drink a few more glasses." Hu Yanqing seems to be only 26, so Lu Qian should call him a little kid.

The attendants brought in two Jindun, and Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanqing sat down.

Lu Qian said, "The first time I heard the name of Little General Huyan was when the money and food from Fujian entered Cangzhou a few months ago. After knowing the situation, I am amazed by the little general's ability. Hundreds of grain ships, thousands of miles away By sea, there was a violent storm, and only two ships were lost when they arrived in Cangzhou, haha, it’s amazing.”

"This king knows that the famous general Huyanzan of Hedong is famous, and the old general has a great reputation. He is the famous founding general of Zhao and Song Dynasties. He thinks that Huyan's family is all children of bow horses, but he doesn't want to know that there are people like the young general who control the phoenix and know the water."

Most of the people here today are important generals of the Liangshan Army, but few of them know about Hu Yanqing's "great achievements". They know more about the recent chaos in Hejian Prefecture.Hu Yanqing's ability is just average.I didn't expect this guy to be so capable at sea, and I was immediately impressed by him.

The faces of Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanqing's uncle and nephew all flashed with brilliance. Lu Qian's words can be said to be scratching Hu Yanqing's itch, which undoubtedly put a layer of gold on Hu Yanqing's face.The whiteness of the air column above the latter's head increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The little general has just arrived, and General Huyan has been appointed to the Wulue Academy. It is also unknown about the great politics. I don't know that our Liangshan army is facing a big problem right now, and we need the help of the little general."

Excitement flashed across Hu Yanqing's face. Lu Qian's praise was so high that he had never expected it before. "The king loves you so much, and the young general is flattered. Hu Yanqing is willing to support the king."

"Since my uncle and nephew have been accepted by the king, we should serve them." Hu Yanzhuo also said.

This statement and the changes in the air pillars above the uncle and nephew's heads made Lu Qian very happy.Pointing to Xiao Li Guang, "Two generals, look at this brother. His surname is Hua, his name is Rong, and he was nicknamed Xiao Li Guang. I then attacked Goryeo, destroyed the capital and opened the capital, and suppressed Haidong."

"Nowadays, the kingdom of Haidong regards me as the leader, and the yearly payment is 20 yuan." Lu Qian released a depth charge, making Huyan's uncle and nephew stunned.Although this news could greatly boost Qilu's morale, Lu Qian endured it and did not release it.Because he is going to marry the main wife soon, so if he is released at this time, it will be a double blessing.

"The matter of the old coins will still be next year. My top priority is to import the 200 million grains from Jianghua Island into the inland." happiness.

"Little general should be aware of the chaos in Hebei and the lack of food in Liao. It is a rare opportunity to exchange food for horses." Lu Qian simply said a few numbers, calling Chen Guan, Chai Jin, and Song Jiang with many faces. There is brilliance to come. "The matter of war horses has troubled me in the Central Plains for a hundred years. Zhao Song competed with the northern captives and western thieves, and suffered a lot from the horse army of that generation. Recently, a certain wanted to choose a place with good water and grass as a place to raise horses." The previous words seem to be a bit out of tune, but in fact there is a great connection between the two sides.

Last year, the Liangshan army infested the city of Tokyo and swept away Zhao Song's Tiansi prison. Lu Qianke brought back a lot of people who knew horses, and they were the most elite horse breeders in the entire Song Dynasty, not to mention that he still had horses in his hands. There is the purple-bearded uncle Huangfuduan who is a master of the veterinary non-staff system of the political system.

This person is from Dongchang Prefecture. Lu Qian had sent someone to invite him earlier, but he refused.When Lu Qian captured Dongchang, Huangfu Duan moved elsewhere earlier.Still without Yujian, Zhang Qing asked this person to come forward to serve.However, the two were close friends, and Zhang Qing could guess where Huangfu Duan was going even if he didn't know.He asked people to test him twice, and he was indeed found.

Huangfu Duan was not prominent in Water Margin, and is equally inconspicuous in this book.Even though his abilities were impressive, after being introduced to the Liangshan Army, he showed his skills and easily convinced the old veterinarians.But after all, he is also a veterinarian, and even the reputation of the miracle doctor An Daoquan is not as good as it used to be.When he "disemboweled" him, it was so shocking that the ghosts and gods wept.But the current Liangshan Army is so prominent that the light has long obscured him, let alone Huangfu Duan.

"Although Qilu is big, it is really hard to find such a good place. It is Tamna Island in the east of the sea. Although it is an island, it is located in the middle of the ocean, but the water and grass on it are lush and the climate is suitable. In my opinion, Probably a good place to raise horses."

"The people on that island, according to Goryeo officials, also have a kind of pony, which is as high as three feet, which is the fruit of the Han and Tang dynasties."

Going to Jeju Island to raise horses seems to be a common plot in the historical travel novels of later generations.However, it is undeniable that it is really suitable for raising horses.The warm and humid oceanic climate nourishes the vast alpine meadows and hills all over the island, making the grazing environment of Jeju Island unique.Even in later generations, Jeju Island in the hands of Bangzi still has as many as 2 hectares of pastures, and more than [-] special pony horses are raised.

So, this creates a problem.How to safely send enough horses to Jeju Island.This is not Liaodong to Dengzhou, the latter can be reached in one day, but the former takes seven or eight days, or even longer.

But as far as Lu Qian knew, the Song Dynasty maritime merchants in southern Fujian built large ships with thousands of materials and could raise livestock inside.At this time, Fujian was the most prosperous place in China's sea trade, and the sea-going ships in this place were the most prosperous in the country. ——The four coastal states of Fujian all produce sea-going ships, and their quality and output are the first in the southeast.

The "Mulan Boat" produced by it is the largest ocean-going ship, sailing from the Song Dynasty to the Mulan Pi Kingdom, the Murabbit Kingdom in West Africa.The boat is like a huge room, the sails are like clouds hanging from the sky, the boat is several feet long, and there are hundreds of people in a boat.

In the Song Dynasty, sea ships sailed to the Middle East and Africa in later generations, and Lu Qian did not believe that no one was greedy for the good horses there, and never thought of bringing them back to Middle Earth.

Xu Huyanqing also has experience in this kind of thing.

On the right hand side of the lobby, there is a huge sea chart hanging.Hu Yanqing took a look and smiled and said: "This is simple. Although it is not easy to transport horses by sea, as long as there is a port to stop at and enough clean water to clean the horse pens, even if you travel thousands of miles by sea, you will not be able to break a few horses. "

"Since Goryeo has regarded our country as supreme, I want to use Ongjin and Bilanjeong." Ongjin is close to Ganghwa Bay, but compared with Bilanjeong at Licheng River, it is still farther north. . "It sails directly from Shandong to Wengjin. With smooth winds and rivers, it can be reached in three or two days. The normal journey is only four days. It takes an extra day or two to reach Bilanting. This time is enough for the boat to carry clear water."

The death rate of horses carried on long sea voyages is high. In the final analysis, the drinking water is not clean, the stables are dirty, and bacteria grow.War horses are delicate animals.But now it's only three or five days, so it's not a problem.After replenishing enough water at Koryo port, drive along the Koryo coast all the way to Tamna Island.

"That's good. The little general's words enlightened me." Lu Qian is most urgent about turning Jeju Island into a horse farm, but he still has lingering fears about whether the delicate horses can withstand the ravages of thousands of miles of waves.

This is not to say that he really understands how long-distance sea transportation can damage the health of war horses, but purely external impressions, subconsciously feel that such a long sea transportation will cause great harm to the health of war horses.For a time, he thought that this would drive the horses to the southernmost tip of Koryo by land, and then transfer them to Jeju Island.But it's not easy, is it?
But now that Hu Yanqing said this, it turned out that he was unfounded.

After solving his troubles, Lu Qian also relaxed his drinking ability at the luncheon and drank happily. "I heard that when you were young, you traveled thousands of miles with sea travelers. You are proficient in many languages. You can be said to be well-informed. Is that true?"

During the banquet, Hu Yanqing came with Hu Yanzhuo to offer wine to Lu Qian. Lu Qian drank a full gulp, and then said to Hu Yanqing, who was full of joy, that Hu Yanqing had overshadowed Hu Yanzhuo today.

"When I was young, I was frivolous. I didn't know the power of the ocean. I was in danger several times. I still feel scared when I think about it. However, I saw thousands of strange things when I traveled thousands of miles. The boy traveled all over Nanyang, Jiaozhi, Zhancheng, Chenla, Nibo, Mayi, Sanqi Buddha, etc., have set foot in Nanyang countries, and their writings and events are hidden in their chests, and it is interesting to think about them." Hu Yanqing talked about the events of the year, with a faint expression on his face.

But Lu Qian was also very surprised.Is this Huyanqing actually a link to Nanyang?

"Haha, who has always been arrogant when they were young? And being frivolous in the past may not necessarily lead to great blessings in the future. Let me ask you, are the countries in Nanyang rich, and are there any merits?"

Lu Qian, who was born as King of the Mountain, suddenly asked such words, Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanqing opened their mouths wide.What does this mean?
