Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 204
"Grandfather, you have worked for Zhao Gao all your life and are loyal, but Zhao Guo doesn't think of you who have been working for the country for [-] years, and don't think of your achievements in resisting the Huns and opposing the Qin State. Destroy the three clans!"

"But the first emperor was broad-minded and didn't think about your mistakes in fighting Qin. He set up an ancestral hall for you and praised your achievements in fighting the Huns!"

"Zhao Guoen will avenge his revenge, but the first emperor will ignore the previous suspicions. In this case, is it necessary to restore Zhao Guo?"

Among the crowd, a young woodcutter holding an ax hides in it, covering his face with a straw hat, quite murderous, but with mixed feelings in his heart.

This person's name is Li Zuoche, and he is the young grandson of Li Mu.

After Li Mu was killed ten years ago, all three of his clans were implicated by Guo Kai, but Li Zuoche hid in Dai County and survived.

At that time, Li Zuoche was still underage, so he kept his name incognito, hid in the vast land, and cut firewood for a living, and no one knew about it.

After the fall of Handan City, he always held grudges and wanted to restore the country, so he practiced martial arts and secretly learned the strategy of war left by his grandfather, so that one day the Zhao family would restore the country, and he could do his best to help.

However, Qin Wangzheng's move seems to be telling Li Zuoche that the first emperor is the master of the generation that he should emulate, and that there is no need to restore the country.

"Now that Qin and the Huns are about to go to war, why can't I follow my grandfather's example and join the Qin army to repel the Huns together and achieve another success?" Li Zuoche rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

At the time when the generals at the frontier were recruiting civilians, they went to the front line to transport food and grass for the empire, open up roads, and solve problems for the frontline soldiers.

In the end, Li Zuoche became ruthless and stopped thinking about restoring the country. Instead, he changed his name to Li Zuo, joined the army of prisoners, and started his revolutionary career.
"Your Majesty Qizuo, the Hexi Racecourse has been completed!"

Upon hearing the news, Qin Wangzheng had a smile on his face.

Last winter, Xiao Zhinu brought five strong and brave horses from a different world. Coupled with the hybrid backcrossing method and a series of horse breeding policies, the number of private horses is exploding exponentially.

The government bought horses from the people and used them to crossbreed with fine breeds of sweat horses to produce more war horses for war.

However, how to raise a large number of sweaty horses and how to develop cavalry that can rival the nomadic people outside the Great Wall has become the primary plan of Qin Wangzheng.

However, the development of cavalry, or the improvement of combat effectiveness, cannot be achieved overnight. Instead, two prerequisites must be considered first.

One is soldiers and the other is horses.

The soldiers of the Qin State have always been brave, so it is naturally not a problem, so what is urgently in need of training is the war horse.

After selecting an excellent hard-earned horse, the training and training of the horse is particularly important.

There are only excellent war horses, if they don't obey the command, or don't act according to the command, it will undoubtedly fall short, let alone win the battle.

Therefore, at the beginning of spring, Qin Wangzheng ordered the construction of the Hexi Racecourse, and Han Xin was responsible for raising the horses.

Although Han Xin has never trained war horses, he has his own unique training methods. For this reason, he specially presented a memorial, reporting from four aspects: training, care, breeding and servants.

Qin Wangzheng slowly unfolded Han Xin's memorial.

"First of all, soldiers have to charge into battle on horseback, so when facing some weapons of swords, guns, swords and halberds, you have to train your horses to get used to their sounds."

"Therefore, in order for the horses to get used to fighting on the battlefield, it is necessary to train the horses blindfolded. After they get used to it, remove the strips of black cloth covering them."

Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly.

In this way, the war horses will no longer be afraid of these sounds, and the war horses can follow the soldiers and gallop on the battlefield!
Although Han Xin has never raised horses, I am very pleased that he borrowed the methods in military books to raise horses!
"Secondly, horses are very spiritual animals. He can establish a very close relationship with humans through taming, and has a high degree of obedience. He often saves his master in distress."

"Therefore, the food and fodder for war horses is as important as the food and fodder for soldiers. Greedy war horses and soldiers' food and fodder are equally serious crimes and must be dealt with by military law."

Qin Wangzheng nodded again, with a trace of evil spirit bursting out from his face, and said coldly: "If anyone in the army is greedy for the food and fodder of Mo's war horse, he will be killed immediately!"

Food and grass are the core of the army's battle. The blood-sweat horse gallops with the soldiers and is also a member of the army. For horses, the importance of feed goes without saying.

And the blood-sweat BMW was brought from a different world by the childish slave through untold hardships, so the food for raising the BMW was naturally the best rice.

Han Xin listed the daily feed supply one by one. In autumn and winter, one round of Artemisia, one bucket of millet, and two combinations of salt.In autumn and summer, the green grass is surrounded, and the millet is halved.

[Note: Artemisia [hao] is a kind of grass plant, the circumference refers to the length of arms folded, millet [su] is commonly known as "millet" in the north, a bucket of rice is about 4 catties, green grass is a kind of fresh Grass, a weight of 150 grams]

As for why salt was put in the fodder, Qin Wangzheng frowned. Could it be that there is no salty taste in the fodder, and the horses don't taste good?

But Han Xin also explained: Salt is an essential material component for almost every animal that has sweat glands and relies on sweat to dissipate heat, and salt plays a role in regulating the acid-base balance and water balance in the animal body.

Therefore, feeding horses salt can allow horses who sweat a lot every day to replenish the salt in their bodies in time and maintain a normal acid-base and water balance.

Therefore, after training the horses every day and running a lot, salt must be added to the feed of the horses, so that the horses can get sufficient salt supplements.

"As for the usual care and maintenance, it is natural to divide the horses into traveling horses, war horses, and pack horses, and put them in stables for breeding!"

When soldiers go to the battlefield, they generally don't ride war horses, but ride horses. Every time they ride for a while, they have to let the horses rest for a while.

And the war horse only plays a role when charging into battle!

As for the pack horse, it is specially responsible for carrying things and plays the role of a means of transportation.

"The fourth point is the horse servants who raise horses. Naturally, the servants are responsible for this task. The development of horse administration requires the efforts of generations of horse servants."

Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly, this is especially important.

Horse servants are proficient in horse breeding knowledge. Only when they go to vast pastures and border areas to raise horses can they develop a small number of war horses into a huge herd of war horses to meet the needs of 30 soldiers.

After reading Han Xin's memorial, Qin Wangzheng was hooked, and said with emotion: "Han Xin is the same throughout the ages, and he will definitely not lose to Meng Tian, ​​Bai Qi, and Wang Jian in the future!"

Han Xin's thoughts were so advanced that Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but sigh: Han Xin's heroic essay illuminates the darkness and sweeps away the darkness in my heart.

Feng Jie and Li Si were also amazed after watching it, and after everyone discussed it, they drafted an imperial edict based on the article written by Han Xin.

At the same time, Xiao Zhinu's inspiration emerged, and he took the initiative to go to another world to contribute to the breeding of war horses
