Volume 2: We Want to Be FreeChapter 1: If you have money, you're free, right?

Zhang Guoan said: "Among our white mercenaries are the Knights of the Temple Mount and the Knights of St. John

The members of the regiment are not nobles, but commoners, but unfortunately there are no Teutonic knights, otherwise the three major knights would have been gathered......"

Of the three major orders that participated in the Crusades, the Teutonic Knights developed slowly, along with the Templar Order and the St. Knights

The Knights of John are no match for that. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

To some extent, the Teutonic Order was not founded, the Holy City era had passed, and it was not the endless stream of pilgrims who went to Asia Minor, but the armies led by European monarchs, under whom it was too difficult for the Order to develop as an independent organization, not to mention the fact that there were two prestigious knightly orders in front of them.

So at the time of the Crusades, the Teutonic Knights were really lackluster in numbers and performance.

This is also the reason why the owner of Zhang Guoan did not buy the Teutonic knights when he bought slaves.

The Great Song nation is not a nation that is good at riding horses, so the job of cavalry can be done by others.

In that battle on the Shandong Peninsula, the Liuqiu Guards captured some horses, and in addition to returning them to Liuqiu Island and staying there to engage in transportation and agriculture, they were forming a cavalry in a style different from that of the Great Song cavalry.

The natural conditions of the Shandong Peninsula are the same as those of Jeju Island, which is more suitable for raising large livestock.

According to the pre-plan, the island lord Zhang Guoan was going to officially hire cavalry from other regions to deal with the Tatar cavalry next year, and he could not always stay in the city and not go out.

Wang Defa took a bite of the tomato and said, "I see that there are many breeds of horses in that horse farm, and you are going to engage in cross-breeding?" It's a pity that the number is too small......"

Thoroughbred Tatars have the advantage of adapting to harsh weather and environment, and have good endurance, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, short stature, slow sprint......

The Tatars generally fought in West Asia using crossbred horses, not purebred Tatars.

Especially when they fought in Europe, they used a cross of Arabian and Tatar horses, which were the heavy cavalry of their main force.

At the time of the Crusades, they brought many Andalusian horses from Europe, a breed of horses that were heavily used in Europe.

The Andalusian horse is one of the oldest and purest horse breeds in the world.

It has a proud and courageous temperament, as well as a tame and approachable temperament, while at the same time being calm, sensitive, and loyal.

It is tenacious and docile, understanding and good at learning, with flexible, smooth, coordinated and rhythmic movements.

Its height is generally 152 cm to 173 cm, and its weight is basically more than 500 kg.

Compared to it, the Tatar horse is more like a donkey.

It outperformed the Tatars and Arabians in speed and power in sprinting, but only in endurance.

Therefore, in addition to retaining some thoroughbreds, Zhang Guoan also wants to breed a more balanced mixed breed in all aspects and improve the horse breed, which is a simple job.

However, transporting horses from the Tianzhu region, Egypt and other parts of Asia Minor was very troublesome.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, and Zhang Laoshi, the factory director, designed a new type of sailboat that could be specially used to transport large livestock.

This is not just for transporting horses, he also needs the buffalo in the Tianzhu area, compared to the buffalo of the Great Song Dynasty, the buffalo there is larger, and the milk and meat production is also more, so it is good for people and themselves to transport it back to improve it and benefit the farmers on Liuqiu Island.

Fortunately, now the people of the Great Song Dynasty are not averse to dairy products.

However, it was a time of war, and the need for warships was greater, so the production of transport ships was not the mainstay.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "Fa Zai, it's great that you are back, you can come all the industrial and military...... I am in charge of agriculture, fishery and forestry with Quiet, this is what I do! ”

Wang Defa ate fragrant fried peanuts and said, "It's good to be young...... In that side of the world, I eat this toothache ......"

Wang Defa agreed to take over both and told him about their experiences in that world.

When they crossed back, they made a fortune.

Of course, they didn't dare to resell bronzes on the mainland, because they would all be regarded as national ...... There are also felonies.

They went directly to Taiwan along the originally designed route, and then found a more formal cultural relics auction house, instead of taking the road of public auction.

I picked out some cultural relics that they thought were cheaper, directly found some bigwigs, and quickly auctioned them in private circles, they didn't explain too much about the origin of the bronzes, and they didn't care about the authenticity...... This is naturally up to the buyer to worry about.

And then they had money again.

After Song Ziqiang took a big turn after eating, drinking, and having fun in Taipei, he said that it was not as good as Shanghai, so he was anxious to return to the mainland.

Wu Dapeng persuaded him: "Are you stupid? This auction is just to make a money for the journey...... Selling in the Chinese circles on the West Coast of the United States is the most important thing, the really rich Chinese are there, and they can still give a high price...... If you can't say it, you can help launder money or something, and earn more! ”

Song Ziqiang shook his head resolutely and said, "It's all hundreds of millions, I'm enough...... Besides, can I still distrust the three of you? Can you be greedy for my share?! ”

None of the three friends could persuade him, so they had to let him go back with dozens of credit cards.

Wu Dapeng knew that he was willing to show off his wealth with his wife, so he warned him not to show off his wealth to others, and not to become a mouse when the time comes......

Song Ziqiang was not stupid, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, go back to twenty years, I may be able to ...... Now I still don't know how ruthless this society is?? ”

They also told him to make a phone call a day to report on his actions.

Song Ziqiang smiled and said: "I'm all rich now, and I don't even have freedom?" ”

Wu Dapeng said seriously: "Rich people are not free people...... Everyone cares about the wormhole you bring, you should be you. ”

Well, decades of relationship, everyone knows it.

Wu Dapeng and the three of them brought all the bronzes to the city of Luoshan Rock on the west coast of the United States in the name of samples from the Shanhou Arts and Crafts Factory.

They mainly look for those more low-key and luxurious Chinese areas.

Really rich Chinese will not be publicized, but they will definitely live a luxurious life, otherwise why be rich?! Wouldn't that be a paradox??

So no matter how low-key you try, there are still signs of showing yourself.

The three of them also entrusted a large local auction house to make some requests to hold an auction in a private circle...... The identity certificates and entrustment certificates they submitted were borrowed from Wu Dapeng's wife and Wan Shida's wife, and they already had the legal status here.

The three of them just pulled out some goods that they thought were mid-range...... The auction was a success.

They're richer.

They stayed in a local luxury hotel, and they were going to get a bigger one, and the fee paid to the auction house was really nothing, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get the situation of these hidden tycoons themselves.

In the middle of the night, Wu Dapeng suddenly received a call from Song Ziqiang, and his heart was tense after listening to the first sound. (To be continued.) )
