Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 276 The Player's Cavalry Regiment
This cavalry is the cavalry organized by Zheng He, Zhangye's herd supervisor.

Since Zheng He held a meeting with the rancher players, everyone has a unified understanding that the battlefield must be placed outside of Zhangye!

If the Tibetans invaded Zhangye, the Shandan Racecourse located east of Zhangye would not be spared.

In order to be able to defend their ranch, [-] rancher players, with their own ranch's hirelings, formed a cavalry unit.

In order to rebuild the ranch as soon as possible, the ranchers recruited not only Han Chinese who were good at horse riding and herding in Zhangye City, but also recruited a large number of Qiang people in the mountains of Zhangye under the leadership of Zheng He.

These Qiang people living in the mountains did not have a good impression of the Tang people.

The Qiang people are an ancient race that lasted from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the early years of the Sui Dynasty. They were the main opponents of the Han regime in the Northwest.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Xianbei people rose up in the northwest and established the Tuyuhun regime. Some Qiang people were absorbed into the Tuyuhun Kingdom, and some lived in Longyou with the Han people.

Datang also set up the position of Huqiang Xiaowei to manage the Qiang people in Longyou and Hetao areas.

After the rise of the Uighur and Tubo regimes, the Qiang people declined even more, and the position of the Qiang guard was merged and given to the Hexi Jiedushi concurrently.

This also represents that the Qiang people have changed from the overlord of the northwest to a minority, and they have been oppressed by the Han people and other ethnic groups in Longyou and other places.

The Qiang people are a half-nomadic and half-agricultural people, and they are good at raising horses. In order to rebuild the Shandan pasture, Zheng He put his mind on the Qiang tribe near the Qilian Mountains.

Zheng He first took the ranchers to the nearby Qiang tribes for trade, trying to hire these Qiang people with supplies.

But I didn't expect these Qiang people to be very wary of the Han people. They heard that they were going to work with them, and they refused to agree.

Later, when Zheng He inquired in Zhangye, he found out that the previous supervisors of herds had used this trick to trick the Qiang people on the mountain to come down to raise horses for the imperial pasture, but in fact they were kept as slaves in the pasture. refused to let them go back.

Some shepherds even had a darker heart, and would sweep up the Qiang tribes on the mountains, capturing young Qiang men and women and selling them in Renyazi's market.

Today, the Qiang people near the Shandan pasture are afraid of the Han people, and even more afraid of the Han people in the pasture.

Although Zheng He was angry, there was nothing he could do. He was about to leave, but he happened to encounter the cow in the Qiang tribe.

The Qiang family asked the patriarch's home, but the patriarch had no good solution for the cow's dystocia. He could only cook some herbal medicine according to the ancient method, hoping to help the cow give birth smoothly.

At this moment, Zheng He, who was about to leave, stood up and said:

"Patriarch, I have a solution."

The patriarch looked at Zheng He, the cow was not in the right place, and he, the patriarch who was the best at feeding the nearby tribes, couldn't help it. Could it be that the Han people could do it?

However, it was difficult to give birth anyway, so the patriarch simply treated the dead horse as a living horse, and took Zheng He and his party to the Qiang man's home.

Cattle are an important tool of productivity, and a breeding cow is even more valuable.

The Qiang family was in a hurry. When Zheng He touched the cow's belly, he found that the fetal position was not right.

He said to the family:

"Go and boil a big pot of hot water."

Then he said to the players in the same group: "Go and get my surgical kit and the hemostatic gauze."

The Qiang family immediately boiled the water. Zheng He spread out the surgical tools and said to several ranchers who came by:

"There is a demonstration, so let me explain how to help cows give birth."

"First of all, we must do a good job of disinfection. Hot water can disinfect some bacteria. This is a very important step."

Zheng He ordered people to disinfect the yard with hot water, and then fixed the dystocia cows on the benches.

"The next step is to correct the fetal position. The sterilized hands go in here. This calf is in a horizontal fetal position. We need to push the calf in with our hands."

Zheng He thought of the scene when he followed his mentor to midwife during his internship on a dairy farm. As an excellent student of his mentor, Zheng He helped five cows give birth in one day!
With a flick of Zheng He's hand, the fetal position was corrected, and then he took out the forceps in one go, and pulled the calf out at once.

Zheng He immediately began to check the calf, and found that the calf was already purple and blue due to dystocia and hypoxia.

Zheng He's set of actions has already stunned the Qiang people present, especially the Qiang patriarch who knows how dangerous a fetus is, and there is a high probability that both the calf and the cow will die.

Unexpectedly, Zheng He used that strange tool to pull the calf out.

The owner of the cow cried with joy. Although it is a pity that the calf died, the cow is the most important property of the family. As long as the cow survives, the family still has hope.

Zheng He grabbed the calf's two hind legs and began to slap the calf's butt.

I only heard the calf moo and spit out the amniotic fluid stuck in its mouth.

The cow heard the cry of the calf and raised her head to look at Zheng He.

Zheng He quickly put the calf into the cow's belly, and the calf instinctively stuck out its tongue and began to suck milk.

Both cow and calf survived! ?

Now the Qiang people cheered, lifted Zheng He up, and thanked him in this ancient way.

Next, Zheng He treated several animals in this Qiang tribe, repaired the hooves of a lame cow, and helped the tribe breed a horse.

This time, Zheng He's status in the Qiang tribe was greatly improved, and the patriarch took out his treasured wine to entertain Zheng He.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zheng He took out the wine brewed in the player's wine cellar, and now the host and guest had a good time, and everyone drank to the point of drunkenness.

The next day, the nearby Qiang tribes found out about Zheng He, a super veterinarian, and asked him to go to their tribe to treat cattle and sheep.

Zheng He walked around the nearby tribes, and when he was about to leave, each tribe brought a group of young adults to accept Zheng He's employment and follow him to the Shandan pasture to graze.

Zheng He treated these Qiang people as he had promised before. They could go home to visit their relatives every month, pay them regular salaries, and teach them some knowledge of animal husbandry.

Zheng He's prestige among the Qiang people was at the peak of his power. This time the Tubo army attacked, Zheng He went to the nearby Qiang tribes again.

The Qiang people were also oppressed in Tubo. Zheng He quickly recruited more than 1000 Qiang cavalry.

Now that Yu Chixin ordered the army to set off, Zheng He took the two hundred knights from the pasture, plus the thousand Qiang riders, and charged towards the Tubo camp first.

Although these thousand and two cavalry were not a regular army, the Qiang people were good at riding and shooting, and their customs were tough.

Zheng He asked people to raise the banner representing King Jianning, and said in the lead: "Follow my command, go!"

The cavalry rushed to the Tubo camp, the Qiang cavalry bowed like a full moon, and the arrow rain fell into the Tubo camp.

The horse made by Lu Feikuai, the bow is like a thunderbolt!
