Duan Jingju said yes, the Great Liaoning country does have more horses than people.

There is a saying in "Liao Shi": "In the early years of the heavens, there were tens of thousands of groups in the horse, and each group was not thousands of crickets." That is to say, when the Emperor Liaoning just succeeded, there were tens of thousands of horses in the Liao Kingdom.

There are thousands of horses in each group.

Even if 10,000 groups of horses, each group of 1,000 horses, one thousand multiplied by 10,000, there are tens of millions of horses. This is still conservatively estimated, and the number will only be more.

How much I know how many things in the history of Liaoning in history are more than people. Only in this era, we can realize that shock.

Thousands of horses are terrible to think about it!

The war horse was like a tank during World War II in ancient times. The battlefield was absolutely invincible. The former Soviet Union was the torrent of steel.

He also knew that Duan Jingju said it was not comprehensive. There were three main sources of the horses of the Liao Kingdom.

The first is a large number of government -raising institutions, or the noble private industry. For example, Feilongyuan, Midanma Qun Division, etc., as long as you can raise horses, set up an official horse raising agency.

That is why Han and Tang dynasties can fight alien people, but the Northern Song Dynasty could not work.

The second is the private acquisition. This is a special means in a special period, not normalized. However, the Liao State has always encouraged the people to raise horses, so that the military and civilians have maintained adequate horses. For example, the Song Dynasty repeatedly recruited the people.

Third, the capture of war. Although the League of the Yuanyuan and the Northern Song Dynasty has been peaceful for hundreds of years, the history of the entire Liaoning country is still a history of war conquest.

The breeding and cultivation of the first generation, there are a lot of horses.

I know how many psychological preparations, others have heard that the eyes are protruding.

Although not all horses can go to the battlefield, even if there are only a small part, there must be millions. Think of a million horses. Think about the cold back.

Everyone, you see me, I think you, it is incredible.

Han Shizhong, Lin Chong, and Tang Bin, as the officers of the Great Song Dynasty, knew that the Liao Kingdom had never lacked a good horse, but he did not expect to reach this point.

"Mado, okay!" Ji Gai was not surprised, but exposed joy on his face. The fierce light in his eyes was even worse.

"The big official ..., listen to me first!" Duan Jingzhu noticed that the lid was exposed, and he knew that the grandfather was not at ease, and quickly dissuaded.

"Although the ranch is large and can stole the horses, it is also very dangerous. The Liao people are pretending to be strict, and tens of thousands of cavalry are divided into multi -stock patrols. If they drive the horse in large quantities, they will definitely be detected by the Liao people."

"Tens of thousands of cavalry? Use force to use force!" He stunned, then woke up, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he sighed in his heart that he also moved greedy.

"I don't know that brothers can get a lot of good horses as soon as possible?"

"Yeah, Brother Duan, the more horses, the better, the money is not a problem." After Han Shizhong, Su Ding, Lin Chong and others returned to God, they looked at Duan Jingju.

Can you return empty -handed?

"Well! Three or five thousand horses, as long as you have money, it is okay to spend some time from the folk." Duan Jingjian patted his chest confidently. Then he shook his head and sighed: "But tens of thousands of hp, it is almost impossible."

He is still estimated to be covered with face, but it is absolutely impossible. Although the trafficking horses open their eyes and close their eyes, the number of too much will be forcibly stopped.

Chao Gai could see that this man was not lying, and he also knew that although the Liao Kingdom, the Northern Song Dynasty, and Xixia were free trade diplomatic countries, they would also enact some trade protection laws prohibiting horse trading. This not only protects himself but also prevents other countries from forming powerful

Cavalry, make yourself uncomfortable.

There are too many horses, and the Liao people will not sit idly by and ignore them!

After Chao Gai thought for a moment, he decided to change the method: "Can the brother contact the ranch nobles of the Liao Kingdom? I will talk to them personally."

"I do know a few Liao nobles, but it's not possible..." Duan Jingzhu nodded, then shook his head, because there were too many horses.

"I know this. The Liao Dynasty is similar to the Song Dynasty, and the officials are also corrupt!" Chao Gai interrupted him with a smile, and then smiled confidently.

"Gold, silver, jewelry and other antiques worth millions will clear the way. It is estimated that the door will be opened. It is not an estimate, but it will definitely be opened. As long as the money is in place, the law will be abolished. If this matter is completed, the benefits of brothers are indispensable."

"A treasure worth millions of dollars?" Duan Jingzhu trembled, looked at Chao Gai in shock, and stammered, "Dare you ask the high official what his name is?"

Chao Gai was about to speak, but someone snatched his words away: "My brother is Chao Gai, the king of Shandong. Has it spread to the Liao Kingdom?"

This time, he was one step ahead of Li Kui, making the latter glare with anger.

"Chao Gai, the King of Heaven?" Duan Jingzhu murmured to himself, and then jumped up from the ground: "Even in the North, I often hear others mention it. I am willing to join the army of my elder brother, and I will never have any second thoughts. Meet my elder brother.

"

After saying this, the man bowed to Chao Gai.

"Hahaha, brother, please get up quickly. Brother, come and surrender, Chao Mou is getting what you want." Chao Gai smiled slightly, stood up quickly and helped the man up.

It was obvious that his invisible intimidation had worked, and the old man hugged his thigh. Thinking of this person's ability to read and know horses, it would be used in many places in the future. The original trajectory of going up to Liangshan had a purpose, but that was not important.

"Brother, I have long wanted to defect to the Chao Family Manor, but no one recommended me." Duan Jingzhu held Chao Gai's big hand and sighed from the bottom of his heart. If there was a big patron behind him, how could he be hiding?

Chao Gai felt the sincerity of the man, turned around and shouted to everyone: "Brother, the Chao family village is in dire straits and is in need of talents like brothers. Since you have joined Chao, you are one of your own family, and everyone has met Brother Duan.

"

Han Shizhong, Su Ding, Lin Chong, Li Kui and others gathered with wine bowls and surrounded Duan Jingzhu in the middle. You and I toasted enthusiastically. Although they had been introduced to each other a long time ago, they were more sincere now.

Where has the golden retriever Duan Jing encountered such a scene? He was very happy. He clinked glasses with everyone, and after a circle, his face was red from drinking, he burped repeatedly, and he came to Chao Gai eager to volunteer.

"Brother, I would like to contact the Liao nobles. I will get a reply in a few days."

"Okay, come, let's discuss some details and bring some gifts as a stepping stone." Chao Gai was quite satisfied with Duan Jingzhu's attitude and pulled him to sit next to him.

Hu Cheng had experienced it, Su Ding was from the north and knew about it, and Han Shizhong also encountered similar scenes in Bianliang City, so they all came over to join the discussion.

One trick can be eaten all over the world, use money to clear the way!

Of course, he also chose Liao nobles with good reputation and strength. After the details were finalized, Chao Gai discussed long-term horse purchase with Duan Jingzhu.

The bonfire is blazing in the backyard, and the fat sheep is roasting golden!

Everyone ate barbecue, drank wine, talked and laughed, and didn't disperse until very late!

Time flies, until the next day!

Duan Jingzhu, a horse thief, has worked with his 180 men for many years. He was willing to follow him last night, and at dawn, he formed more than ten teams. He took the gold and silver to various state capitals and purchased livestock and horses from the private sector.

The golden retriever Duan Jingzhu also said goodbye to Chao Gai and left with his team!

After Chao Gai practiced for these teams, he led the team to Jizhou City. The real world is completely different from the novel. Most of the soldiers defending the city are Liao soldiers. The national characteristics on horseback are obvious, all of them are broad-shouldered, wide-mouthed and grinning.

.

Moreover, as an important town on the border, the defense and inspection were relatively strict. Chao Gai asked Sui and Lin Chong to stay outside the city, while he only took Han Shizhong, Hu Sanniang, Hu Cheng, Su Ding, and Li Kui into the city.

The spacious streets of Jizhou City extend in all directions, with shops and restaurants on both sides. People come and go on the streets, caravans come in an endless stream, and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another. There are monkey performers and people performing tricks on the streets, which is very lively!

From the outside, it looks no different from the Song Dynasty!

Chao Gai was walking on the bustling streets, looking at the smiles on people's faces and feeling inexplicably heavy in his heart. He knew that during the reign of Shizong Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong had carried out the Northern Expedition in an attempt to regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. During this period, Yan Yun

The Han people in the Yun area still yearned for the Central Plains, and there was a situation where they were eating pots of wine to welcome the king's army.

However, due to various reasons, several efforts in the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty were unsuccessful. At this time, the Liao Kingdom was also gradually sinicizing. After Empress Dowager Xiao came to power, the unequal laws were abolished. If the Khitans killed the Han people, they had to pay with their lives. From then on,

Starting from these policies, the Han people in the Youyun area found that the Liao Kingdom began to respect them, and their rejection of the Liao Kingdom became weaker and weaker.

This system can be referred to as the southern and northern official systems.

The official system in the south is the desert, grassland and other places of prosperity that are all controlled by the Khitan clan.

The official system in the north is the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The Khitan people dominate and control the army. At the same time, they recruit Han officials and use Han to rule Han!

After more than a hundred years of rule by the Khitan people, seven or eight generations passed. The first few generations died, and few people could be found to miss the Song Dynasty.

Similar to the original trajectory, Liangshan broke through the city, and the people lined the streets to welcome Master Wang. Stop joking, okay? That is simply impossible to happen.

Although they are Han people, they are Han people from the Liao Kingdom!

This is the division of the nation. Over time, the same roots have become strangers!

Chao Gai sighed secretly. As an ordinary person, he would not have the ability to change. But he was very ambitious and felt that he should do something when he came. So he looked around at every street, remembering the eye-catching buildings, and sketching them in his mind.

Come up with a true outline. In the future, the Northern Expedition will attack Jizhou on a certain day, so that you can make a plan from where to attack.

Han Shizhong and Su Ding were holding paper and pen, while the other was asking around. Hu Cheng studied with the three of them, and Li Kui just went around to join in the fun.

The happiest person was Hu Sanniang, who had been laughing her head off since yesterday in the market town. Because he found that most women on the street did not have their feet bound, and they were bolder and more aggressive than in other places in the Song Dynasty.

It is obvious that due to the influence of nomadic people over the years, the bad custom of foot binding has been gradually outlawed, or perhaps because there are few people, family labor needs to be ensured.

Anyway, women with big feet meet the criteria and are suitable to become female soldiers.

"Brother Lingfeng, when do you think we will recruit?"

Hu Sanniang jumped up and down next to Chao Gai, holding his arm and shaking.

"Wait for the matter to be settled first, and learn about the situation from the poor..." Seeing the expectant look in the woman's eyes, Chao Gai told the Chao Mansion how to recruit troops.

But before he finished speaking, Li Kui's roar came from behind the team.
Chapter completed!
