    Nanjing.

    Jeju Island paid tribute to three horses, which can be regarded as a demonstration of the achievements of horse breeding in recent years.

    "Stand up and speak," Zhao Han said to the two officials, "What are your names?"

    An official got up and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my minister's name is Wang Zhen, and I was born in Luzhou. My ancestors raised horses for generations. By the time of Wanli, Luzhou had no horses to raise. Thanks to your majesty's kindness, I was able to go to Jeju County."  He resumed his ancestral business, and now serves as the deputy supervisor of the Jeju Horse Herding Supervisor."

    Another official said: "Your Majesty, the minister's name is Liang Gui. His ancestors were Mongolians. He moved to Jeju Island in the early Ming Dynasty. Now the minister is Han and has learned Chinese. The minister has a son, Liang Zhen, who served as a soldier under General Zhang. Pursue and kill  The false King Duoduo of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was just Gouzi who led cavalry into the mountains and was lucky enough to get the body of the false King Duoduo."

    Zhao Han nodded approvingly: "You are loyal to your duties and have raised your horses well. This time when you go back, everyone will be promoted."

    The Datong Army has initially gained a firm foothold in the Liaodong Peninsula.  The land there is sparsely populated, and the land is more than enough, so it is not conducive to irrigated mountain meadows, so no one wants to reclaim wasteland for farming.  After all, Jeju Island is too small, and it is necessary to find a new land for raising horses, and the Liaodong Peninsula is just right.

    At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were many horse farms in Liaodong, but they had been swallowed up by Jiangmen during the Hongzhi period.

    Only the horse farms in the Liaodong Peninsula, especially those in Gaizhou and Fuzhou, were maintained until the Wanli period.  Even the "Horse City" was specially established and became the horse trading center of the entire Liaodong. Even the Jurchens also sent war horses for sale.

    The supervisor of the Jeju Horse Herding Supervision is about to be transferred to Liaodong to open up a new horse breeding base.  The vacated positions happened to be promoted by the two people in front of them.

    Wang Zhen pointed to a purebred warrima and said: "Your Majesty, this is a Tianzhu horse bred in Jeju Island. The horse is already two years old, tall and powerful, and can be used for battle. A Tianzhu horse over two years old, in the  Jeju Island has bred 847 horses, of which 102 male horses have been castrated as war horses."

    A horse can go to the battlefield at the age of two, which is probably a juvenile period, and it is considered a real adult at the age of three.

    The 102 male horses that were castrated should all be around three years old.  If the quality is not good enough to keep for breeding, and the quality reaches the level of war horses, then all eunuchs will be eunuched and sent to serve in the army.

    Zhao Han went around to the side of the horse, stroked the horse's mane and said, "It's really mighty."

    Can someone who is specially picked and dedicated to the emperor not be mighty?

    This horse is only two years old, and its shoulder height has reached 1.58 meters.  His fur is black and shiny, like jet black satin, except for a diamond-shaped white spot on his forehead.

    It's a pity that the two ears are too cute, and they stand up high and compare their hearts to each other, destroying the majestic image in an instant.

    Wang Zhen pointed to another relatively short horse and said: "Your Majesty, this horse is also two years old. Its father is a Hana horse, and its mother is a Tianzhu horse. It is also a good horse that can go to the battlefield."

    Hana horse, the hybrid offspring of Jeju Island native horse and Mongolian horse, is now the mainstream war horse of the dragoons.

    And the Indian Mawari horse has the blood of native Indian horses, Arabian horses, and Turkmen horses.

    That is to say, the pedigree of this re-crossed horse in front of him is simply endlessly complicated.  The shoulder height is about 1.36 meters, and the appearance is more like a Mongolian horse, but with a little bit of Mawari horse characteristics.

    Wang Zheng pointed to the last horse and said: "This is the offspring of the Jeju native horse and the Tianzhu horse. It can be used by the prince to ride."

    The real Jeju soil horse has a shoulder height of only about one meter, and a particularly majestic one can reach more than 1.15 meters.

    Zhao Han can imagine the scene of the breeding, a Mawari horse with a shoulder height of more than 1.5 meters, riding on a Jeju native horse with a shoulder height of only 1 meter It is simply being trampled.

    "This thing is designed to be ridden by children?" Zhao Han asked.

    Wang Zhen was a little embarrassed: "I came up on a whim and wanted to know what kind of mixed offspring the two horses with huge differences in size would look like. One type has more than ten horses, and this one is the best looking. Although it is still short  It is very good, but its limbs are not as stubby as the Jeju native horse. There is another one, with a shoulder height of nearly four feet, taller than a dragoon horse, but its stubby limbs can only be used to pull goods. And I tried it, that horse  Horse-drawn goods are easy to use, with great strength and endurance."

    Is this a genetic mutation?

    They are also descendants of Jeju Tuma and Mawari horses. One is only three feet tall, while the other is four feet tall. There is a difference of 30 centimeters.

    In this regard, Zhao Han had to encourage him: "It's good to try more. Since the four-foot-tall rough horse is easy to pull goods, let it continue to be bred with Tianzhu horses. Let's see what the offspring can become, maybe we can do it."  Make a good horse for hauling artillery."

    "I will go all out!" Wang Zhen was praised by the emperor, and she was immediately elated.

    It's just that it doesn't sound likeTake turns to practice, and at the same time also work as a horse farm.

    Xiaolingwei's horse farm mainly collects southern war horses, which are fed and trained before being sent to serve in the army.

    "Kowtow to Your Majesty!"

    Several eunuchs came to bow down, they had guarded the tomb here before.  After Zhao Han ascended the throne, most of them were expelled, but a few eunuchs remained to visit the graves of Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, and Zhu Biao.

    Zhao Han said: "Since you are here, let's go and say goodbye."

    After another walk, I finally came to Xiaoling.

    Zhao Han took his wife and children to offer incense to Zhu Yuanzhang, muttering a poem: "Ming Taizu has a spirit in the sky, and the junior Zhao Han came to worship. The king's legacy will be inherited by future generations, and you can smile nine springs!"

    After offering incense to pay his respects, Zhao Han turned around and said to Zhu Cihuang, Zhu Yuxi and others, "This is your ancestor, come and offer a stick of incense."

    Several old eunuchs, looking at the orphans of the previous dynasty, who worshiped Zhu Yuanzhang there, all huddled in a corner and quietly wiped their tears.

    I don't know if they are crying for Daming, Chongzhen, or themselves.
