580:Northern Xinjiang Horse Plague (7)

Because of the particularity of war horses, most stallions will be castrated, and the gelding war horses are more docile and easy to tame, and easy to control. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A small number of stallions of the best breeds are kept as breeding stallions, ensuring that the best offspring are bred.

This generation of the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court King is not a very wise and martial person, but he has ambitions, and can listen to the advice of others, under the advice of the "wise man", he integrates the business alliance, and tightly controls the resources of the horse farm in the hands of the imperial court, and cannot easily sell war horses.

The former avoided foreign commercial shocks and strengthened the local commercial competitiveness, while the latter increased the combat power of northern Xinjiang and the majesty and rule of the imperial court. In the past, as long as you had money, you could buy enough and good enough war horses from the Northern Xinjiang Horse Farm, but now you can't.

In order to provide better war horses for the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang and improve the overall combat effectiveness, the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court will allocate a sum of money every year to buy the sweat and blood horses of the Brake Kingdom, and then lease these sweat and blood horses to major horse farms, and the second-generation war horses cultivated are not allowed to be sold.

The three tribes in Northern Xinjiang originally used cavalry as their main combat force, and relying on this method, their combat power soared rapidly.

Before the fall of the Great Xia Dynasty, the three tribes in Northern Xinjiang took the Great Xia as the suzerain, and themselves as the vassal states, paying tribute every year and being vassals every year.

Now that Great Xia has fallen, Kyushu is divided into five kingdoms.

The four southern barbarian tribes, which used to be the same vassal state as the three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang, destroyed the royal family of the southern sheng country a year ago, accounted for half of the southern sheng country, and turned over from the former subordinate state to occupy the territory of the suzerain, which doubled the confidence and ambition of the three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang.

What the barbarians of the four southern barbarians can do, why can't the three tribes in the north do it?

Dongqing is not angry, and the civil strife continues, it is a good time for Northern Xinjiang to wave troops in the Central Plains and compete for the world!

In order to cultivate more combat effectiveness, the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court has increased the number of bloody horses purchased by the Shalan Kingdom every year.

At first, there were only one or two horses to test the water, but now there are more than a dozen or twenty horses.

This year, I plan to buy 35 horses, but I am squeamish and squeamish, and some of them are not suitable for water and soil on the road.

Even so, Beijiang still bought nineteen bloody horses, and according to the size of the horse farm, all of them were lent out.

And thenβ€”

The horse farm breeds stallions and mares according to the practice of previous years, because the horse farm management is excellent, the climate in northern Xinjiang is also good, the mare has been hairy all year round, and the sweat and blood horses sent by the country are about four years old, which is the golden age of breeding.

There is a time limit for the sweaty BMW leased by the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court, and the racecourse does not dare to waste time.

At this time of year, it is almost the busiest time of the year for the horse farm.

Of course, it is the slaves who take care of the horses on the horse farm.

Only a few times can they be busy, and the three or five slaves gather together and whisper.

"Do you think it's strange that these sweaty BMWs feel so bad this year?"

Another slave said, "The water and soil are not suitable, besides, in previous years, they were sent in spring and summer, and this year's evening, naturally I am not bored." ”

"It'sβ€”"

Stallions are not good, and there are hundreds of mares of the right age and pregnancy, but the horse farm is divided into one or two sweaty and bloody horses, which is not tiring.

About half a month later, the slave who was taking care of the bloody BMW was horrified to find a bloody horse lying on the ground without warning.

The veterinarian was called, and it was discovered that the sweaty BMW was seriously ill.

"It was fine before, how could it be-"

The slave was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat and his teeth were chattering.

As slaves in the horse farm, they are tied into a bundle, and the value is not as important as a horse's hair in a bloody horse.

Now the precious sweat and blood BMW is sick, and they are to blame for their deaths!

What made them even more worried happened, this seriously ill sweaty BMW vomited blood, and bruises and bruises always appeared on the skin.

Thinking that the slaves had secretly injured the sweaty BMW, the horse farm was furious and immediately disposed of a group of slaves.

The veterinarian tried his best to treat it, but the horse still fell ill and died.

The corpse quickly decomposed and stinked, and the smell was extremely strong, causing many insects, mosquitoes and flies.

The value of a sweaty BMW is as high as four or five hundred thousand, and if one dies, it will lose so much money, who is not distressed?

Because these bloody horses were leased from the imperial court in northern Xinjiang, the horse farm was also fully responsible for compensating for the losses.

In the end, none of the slaves who took care of the bloody BMW could escape, and they were brutally killed and buried with the horses.

The three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang have the custom of sky burial, and the sweat and blood BMW has been identified by veterinarians as having a strange disease, not anything else, so it is also buried in the sky.

This is like a beginning, just half a month after the death of this sweaty BMW, and the news of a serious illness came from another horse farm.

The symptoms of the second horse being sick are exactly the same as those of the first.

There has never been a horse plague in northern Xinjiang, so naturally I didn't think about the symptoms of these two sick horses in this direction, and even if I did, I would deny it.

As far as they know, horses with horse plague will become ill in seven or eight days at most, and some will become seriously ill in one or two days after being acute.

Horse plague has only heard from horse dealers in the country of Chalan, and there is no such thing as horse plague in northern Xinjiang and other places.

These sweaty and bloody horses came all the way from the country of Shalan, walked for almost a year, and after arriving at the three tribes in northern Xinjiang, they were bred in the horse farm for more than half a month, and there was no sign of illness at all, at most they were a little lacking in energy.

As everyone knows, there are different types of horse plague.

The horse plague in the country of Chalan has a rapid onset, and symptoms will inevitably appear within half a month of infection, and the mortality rate is as high as more than ninety percent.

The source of the horse plague this time was not in the country of Chalan, but on the way, even the horse dealers in the country of Chalan did not know when it was infected.

The incubation period is extremely long, ranging from January to April, depending on the horse's physical fitness and resistance.

Of course, once the disease develops, it means that the disease is so serious that it is difficult to treat.

Like the first sweaty BMW to die of illness, its internal organs were almost covered with bruises and thick water, and the skin surface was covered with large bruises.

Therefore, the owner of the horse farm suspected that the slave secretly vented his anger with the sweat and blood of the BMW, and beat the BMW to a serious internal injury.

More importantly, the carcasses of such diseased horses need to be cremated, otherwise insects and mosquitoes will spread the source of the disease to other hosts.

For example, horses, mules, and donkeys are all susceptible hosts, with pregnant mares and weak young horses being the most susceptible.

With the second, there will naturally be a third and a fourth, barely too far apart.

At this moment, the breeding of the horse farm is almost finished.

The continuous death of sweat and blood horses aroused the great attention of the imperial court in northern Xinjiang, and the king of the imperial court ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly.

At this time, everyone remembered the horse dealers in the country of Chalan in hindsight, but they had already left for two months after receiving the money.

Before they could find out, all kinds of bad news came from the horse farm one after another, and all the nineteen horses bought at a high price died, leaving no one alive.

Nineteen sweaty horses, each of which costs between 450,000 and 600,000 yuan, for them, the imperial court allocated at least 10 million pieces of gold, silver and jewelry, and now they died after just one round of breeding, who will compensate for this loss?

Faced with this loss, the king of the Northern Imperial Court roared angrily.

Is this the country of Shalan selling nineteen sick horses as good horses to them, and pit them for money?
