Fang Xiaoyu is well aware of the harm of grazing to the grassland, so while using the fine grass seeds in his hands to improve the pasture, he also changed the grazing method of herdsmen living with water and grass into an intensive factory-style captive breeding method, with a large amount of silage provided by Zhonghua Ling.
Combining corn with grass as feed not only allows the pasture to recuperate, but also allows livestock to gain fat much faster.
Of course, some things still have to be raised, such as horses. The horses used by the Chinese Territory have always been imported from Tubo County, which consumes a large amount of military expenditures by the Chinese Territory every year.
These expenses are not the main reason why Fang Xiaoyu decided to raise his own horses. After all, Fang Xiaoyu has always been rich in money, but the adaptation of horses to the climate is a big problem.
Tubo County has a plateau climate. Although the air is a bit thin, the climate is like spring all year round. The horses they raise are obviously very adapted to this climate. However, the ever-changing combat environment of the Chinese Territory makes these horses somewhat uncomfortable.
The biggest threat to the Chinese Territory on land is the Cossack Empire from the north. In the last battle against the Cossack Empire, a large number of draft horses and pack horses imported from Tubo County were used for logistical transportation.
At the beginning, these horses reacted very well, allowing the Chinese military to transport smoothly. However, after winter entered, the outdoor temperature in the north dropped to below minus 30 degrees. The low temperature made these horses from Tubo County obviously uncomfortable.
Adaptation, and even illness and death occurred.
The horses' inability to adapt to the climate once affected the progress of supplying materials to those new settlements. In the end, Fang Xiaoyu urgently transported a batch of quilts from the Fang family's major textile factories to protect the horses from the cold, so that the horses could barely be used.
.
This incident made Fang Xiaoyu pay attention. He knew very well that the Chinese Empire and the Cossack Empire had a deadly feud. Unless there was a huge disparity in national power between the two countries, there would definitely be a life-and-death battle in the future.
Modern wars rely more and more on logistics. Although the railway transportation in the Chinese territory is developed, there are no railways in the Cossack Empire. Fang Xiaoyu has always been a person who advocates defense and counterattack. Defense can rely on railways, but when counterattacking, he can only rely on horses.
If the weather is cold during the counterattack, the horses that cannot adapt will seriously affect the logistics and even cause the failure of one's own operations. Such a serious problem, Fang Xiaoyu naturally has to solve it as soon as possible, but the Chinese Territory has never had a horse breeding land, so this proposal has always been
was put on hold.
Now with Dongmeng County, everything has turned around. Fang Xiaoyu not only obtained a high-quality horse breeding land, but also a group of herdsmen with rich nomadic experience.
With sufficient convenience, Fang Xiaoyu began to establish a military horse farm in Dongmeng County. In terms of breeding military horses, Fang Xiaoyu had a greater advantage than Wang Xuan, who was proficient in horse breeding. With the support of Xiaofeng's chip research and agricultural equipment library,
Breeding selection becomes quite simple.
The Tubo horses imported from Wang Xuan were already quite good breeds. Fang Xiaoyu asked Xiaofeng to use the Tubo horses as a basis, and crossbreed them with the Monte horses that were grown in the north and were known for their endurance, and the Cossack Empire Don horses that were known for their cold resistance. Soon,
The Chinese horse breed has been produced that combines the advantages of all horse breeds.
After chip optimization, the Chinese horse line was successfully bred in only half a month. This horse line is quite complete, and the horses bred are not only more cold-resistant, but also have more endurance than Monte horses.
In addition, the riding speed of Chinese horse cavalry is equivalent to that of Tubo horses, but the load-bearing capacity of draft horses and pack horses is 20% higher. With the cultivation of this high-quality horse series, Fang Xiaoyu believes that in two years' time, when the horses
As the cub grows up, his cavalry and field logistics capabilities will reach a higher level.
With their own military horse farm, they also need to purchase horses from Tubo County. Although these horses are not cold-resistant, they are still very suitable for use in the St. Martin Empire.
With these horses, Qiu Yuan will move faster in the St. Martin Empire. Even after the rebellion in the St. Martin Empire is over, Fang Xiaoyu has no intention of withdrawing his troops. The more territory he has, the better.
In addition to Tubo Horse being suitable for the St. Martin Empire, it is also very necessary to maintain economic and trade relations with Tubo County. With such economic cooperation, the relationship between the two territories will become closer. Such an ally is very important to Fang Xiaoyu's domestic development.
In today's Dongmeng County, with a fixed way of life, these herdsmen have established settlements, breeding farms, and military horse factories based on the fortress. Not only do they live in warm brick houses, they also have access to electricity, and their quality of life has improved.
A huge improvement.
In the next few years, railways and highways quickly connected to the grassland, and meat and milk processing plants were quickly established on both sides of the railway. The entire Dongmeng County developed rapidly, and the herdsmen became increasingly wealthy.
.
Only at this time did they realize how correct their decision was, while those who left regretted it in the days to come until they had the opportunity to join the Chinese leader again.
The establishment of Dongmeng County made the two forces in Montenegro aware of the dangers of separation. Marshal Bayange immediately negotiated with the royal family. The two parties agreed that Montenegro would still be a country in name. The western part of Montenegro would still be occupied by the Montenegro royal family, and the central part would be the center.
Marshal Bayange has the final say in the Mongolian Autonomous Region.
The situation in the Monte Empire quickly stabilized, which made the Cossack Empire regretful that it was not fully prepared. Alexander III, who learned from the painful experience, became more concerned about the railway artery across the country.
After mobilizing a large amount of funds and lending money to the Nantes Empire, the Cossack Empire purchased railway construction technology from the Saar Empire and accelerated railway construction in order to reach the eastern continent as soon as possible and completely change the Cossack Empire's transportation situation in the east.
Things in the Monte Empire have come to an end, but the domestic war in the Saint Martin Empire is still in full swing. Although Qiu Yu'an's troops are making great progress, their number is too small after all, and the territory of the Saint Martin Empire is too large.
When they advanced to the Amazon River, one hundred and twenty kilometers away from the capital city of Santa Maria, the offensive momentum was finally interrupted.
The rebels also knew that they had reached a critical moment, and they put their most elite troops on this line of defense to resist desperately. Qiu Yu'an did not want to relieve the siege of the capital of the St. Martin Empire so quickly. He happened to stop with an excuse and held on tight.
Consolidate the territory and build a defense line across the river on one side, creating a scene of confrontation across the river.
