Nowadays, the entire Liaohe Loop is the grassland of the Far East, and there are also large military horse farms on both sides of the Liaohe River, and the Far East has not yet cultivated its own pedigree of war horses and horses, and this process still needs a long way to go, but the Far East is not short of horses now.

Although they are all Mongolian horses, they can also meet the current strategic needs of Far Eastern companies. The vast north is an endless landscape of deserts, grasslands, Gobi and snowfields. The Mongolian horse is short in size, its appearance is not good, and its speed is slow, and its ability to cross obstacles is far less than that of the high-headed horses in Europe, but it is the most endurable war horse in the world, and it can adapt to the extremely harsh climate of the alpine desert and the Gobi snowfield in the north.

Europe and other countries have a small area and the war horses are not far away, so there are no special requirements for endurance. However, the range of activities of the northern nomads is very large, such a large area, the army does not fight, just from one side to the other, it may be thousands of miles, without endurance horses would have died a long time ago, so endurance is the decisive factor.

What would happen if you rode a high-headed horse from Hulun Lake to Hungary? It must not be able to hit, and it is impossible to even walk. When they arrived, the horses had no strength to charge.

To fight in a wide space, Mongolian horses are the best. Historically, there were only tribes in the Mongolian steppe, the Xiongnu and the Turks who migrated westward, and no Europeans migrated eastward. After the Xiongnu and Turks moved westward, the European armies were in an uproar, and the advantage was also on the horse, which could run long distances, encircle and intersperse, and make detours and flank attacks, and the European horses could not do it.

The effective radius of movement of the European high-headed horse is small, and if you can't find good material for a week after a long-distance battle, the high-headed horse will lie down. Mongolian horses are able to adapt to very extensive feeding management, not only to coarse materials, but also to adapt to difficult supply conditions. European horses are particular about food, three or five horses are okay, and the cost of maintaining a thousand horses is expensive. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of heads simply can't afford to raise.

The Far East Company's northward plan is extremely large, and once the line is implemented, it will stretch for more than 10,000 miles, so the current Mongolian horse is exactly what the Far East needs. Now the banks of the Liao River are dotted with military horse farms in the Far East, and a large number of Mongolian settlers have been resettled here to help the Far East take care of these Mongolian horses.

The Mongolian horses captured after several battles, plus the two years. Constant large-scale trade with the major tribes of the northern steppes has brought the Mongolian horses in the Far East to hundreds of thousands. The Far East is in great demand for herders, and now they can only rely on immigrants from the Ming Dynasty to help in the pastures, they may be good at farming, but it is a little reluctant to serve cattle, sheep and horses.

Especially in the military horse farm, horse training is a technical job, and you need to be patient and endure hardships. The Mongols of the steppe are known as a people on horseback, and all men and women of all ages are good riders. After the age of five, he lived on horseback.

Horse training is the most important job for herders, which is not only hard, but also has to pay a lot of costs and emotions. Horses are often kicked, bitten, and fallen by horses, but the herders do not blame them, and the more difficult the horses are, the more they think the horse is promising. A well-tamed horse must not only have strong combat effectiveness, but also do a lot of things according to the instructions of the owner, and become a good helper for herdsmen and cavalry.

It took several months to suppress bandits in the grasslands of the Far Northeast, and not many horse thieves were caught. However, the small tribes and bitter people on the grassland broke down and settled, but they got back more than 100,000. Finally, it met the needs of the major pastures and military horse farms in the Far East. These Mongolian herders, men and women, young and old, spent a few days in the Far East and gradually settled down.

These poor herdsmen were scattered and reorganized into nomadic squadrons, replaced their oily and dirty robes, and put on a set of khaki denim uniformly distributed by the Far East. Each wore a cowhide belt around his waist, and carried a wooden kettle from a Vladivostok woodware factory and a crossbody bag on his left and right.

He also wore a penny hat on his head and boots with canvas soles on his feet. In addition, there are various labor protection products such as masks and gloves, as well as a canvas rucksack. It contains a bed cover and various daily necessities.

Although the standard equipment of Mongolian herdsmen in the Far East Control District is much shabby compared with that of Han immigrants, these hard-pressed settlers have never seen these precious things, and they all regard these things as treasures. And they can also have three full meals a day, although each meal is only two coarse corn tortillas, vegetable soup and pickles, but it still makes these poor Mongolian herdsmen feel like they have been hit by happiness.

After so many years of hunger and cold on the grassland, they couldn't even think of such days before.

The work of the major military horse farms and pastures in the Far East is extremely heavy, basically from the dark sky to the busy day, and the toil can be imagined. However, these newly annexed Mongolian herdsmen have always been like this before, and they are more common than these hard days, and they still do not have enough to eat.

The method of distribution and lump sum is adopted in the work of the Far Eastern pastures and military horse farms, that is, each squadron must raise and take care of a certain number of cattle, sheep and horses in accordance with the regulations, and if there is a problem with the cattle, sheep and horses, the herdsmen of this squadron will be punished.

So despite the hard work, the newly attached herdsmen did not complain at all, even the children, women and elderly people of several years old were busy with their work in the morning and night. Their ideas are very simple, just for the sake of those three full meals a day, for fear that they will not be able to do a good job, and if they are driven away by the Far East, then they will no longer be able to live this kind of life where they can eat enough every day.

The quota for each nomadic squadron was 100 men, but that was only the number of young men between the ages of 15 and 55. In addition, many women, old and young, also migrated with the nomadic squadron to graze their cattle and take care of the large number of cattle, sheep and horses assigned to their squadron.

The yurt inhabited by the nomadic squadron is also a mass-produced standard product in Vladivostok in the Far East, which is mass-produced modular components with modern equipment, which is extremely easy to assemble and disassemble, not only durable, but also extremely warm, and can withstand the extremely cold weather in winter. The yurt also has many functions that traditional yurts do not have. After scientifically optimized design, each yurt occupies a very small space after disassembly, which is very convenient for carriage transportation and storage.

The herdsmen's squadron is also equipped with a standard type of carriage, depending on the needs of the environment, there are four-wheeled and two-wheeled ones, and each squadron is equipped with more than a dozen standard horse-drawn carriages according to the number of people, which can meet the needs of a squadron of hundreds of men, women, and children in the grassland for a long time. The nomadic squadron's food, yurts, and various production and living materials were transported by these wagons.

In winter, the nomadic squadron will return to the banks of the Liao River and choose a place to spend the winter. At that time, the Far East also prepared a warm shed for the lambs and calves of the nomadic squadron for the winter, as well as a simple warehouse for the squadron to store pasture, grain and other materials in winter. These are also industrialized products of the Far East, with a scientific modular design, which is not only easy to disassemble and install, but also to withstand the blizzards of the northern winter.

These are all part of the Far Northeast plan, and major enterprises in the Vladivostok Industrial Development Zone, the Bac Ninh Iron and Steel Complex, and the Sakhalin Petrochemical Base have been preparing various materials since three years ago. (To be continued......)
