Zongwu: Li Xiuning proposes to marry, and signs to Jinyiwei

Indeed, Yan Jingan was very beautiful, but she was definitely not a white lotus.

If she was really jealous of Shi Feixuan, Shi Feixuan might not be able to survive now.

The difference in strength between the two is too great.

Chapter 278 Raising 100 Million Horses

"It's because of you, otherwise I would never fall in love with a man who already has a wife."

Yan Jingan said.

Indeed, even if a girl like Yan Jingan really likes a man, she will never allow him to have another woman.

It's a pity that the person Yan Jingan likes is Mu Yuan.

She is willing to compromise for Mu-won.

In fact, several other women in Muyuan are like this.

That is because of Mu Yuan, it is impossible for other men to allow them to serve a man with other women.

Mu Yuan smiled, "Then I'm pretty lucky, it's an exception."

Hearing Mu Yuan's words, Yan Jingan gave Mu Yuan a blank look.

"But when you accept another woman in the future, you must think carefully. After all, your status is different now, and you should think about more things."

If only Mu Yuan was just an ordinary person.

That's not a problem.

But now he is the master of one side.

What kind of woman will determine the future succession issue.

If Mu Yuan fell in love with a woman with a wicked heart, it would probably have a great impact on the future inheritance issue.

Yan Jingan often wanders between various forces.

So be clear about those.

"I know this, but before I succeed, I will not face this kind of problem, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Mu Yuan looked at Yan Jingan and teased, "Of course, if you really want to, I can still help you reluctantly."

"It's not serious again, is it?"

Yan Jingan, whose face was reddish, patted Mu Yuan.

Shang Xiuxun couldn't stand it any longer, so he came out and said, "Why don't you go to the ranch to watch the horses."

Shan Wanjing quickly stood up and said, "That's right, the horse breed you sent is really good, let's go and see the war horse sister Xiuxun bought from Yueshi."

She really didn't want to see Mu Yuan and Yan Jingan's intimate behavior anymore.

Mu Yuan and Yan Jingan looked at each other, and then saw Yan Jingan glared at Mu Yuan.

"There are still people here, let's be more serious."

Shan Wanjing rolled her eyes at the two of them, "You guys still know someone is there".

Soon, the four came to the ranch.

The owner's mansion was built between two mountains, and after leaving the two mountains, he came to the endless prairie of Pegasus Ranch.

When I came to a small hill, there was a herd of hundreds of horses in front of me.

Looking at the mighty, it is very spectacular.

"Pegasus Ranch really lives up to its reputation. Looking around, there are good horses everywhere."

Shang Xiuxun, who was standing beside Mu Yuan, said, "It's because you gave some horse breeds, and those horses are indeed very good."

"As long as you continue to breed your horses, within ten years, the horse breeds at Pegasus Ranch will be improved very well."

In fact, the horse breeds in the Central Plains have been improving.

It's just that it's really difficult to get horses from the Western Regions.

So most of the current Central Plains horses are grassland horses from the grasslands.

In addition to being more adaptable, they are not as good as Western Region horses in terms of size, endurance, speed, or strength.

The best war horses are still the horses from the Western Regions.

Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity, the Central Plains Dynasty has always used Western Region horses and grassland horses to breed horse breeds.

It's just that the Yue clan now restricts the horse trade between the Sui Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions.

Turks also controlled part of the traffic arteries leading to the Western Regions.

As a result, fewer and fewer Western Region horses entered the Central Plains.

Now most of the horse breeds in the Sui Dynasty are grassland horses.

At the peak of the Sui Dynasty, most of the troops used by the army were improved breeds bred from Western Region horses and grassland horses.

It's a pity that the Sui Dynasty is now divided, and there is no spare energy to bring horses from the Western Regions.

That is to say, there are still a large number of horses from the Western Regions in the Sui army.

The reason why the Pegasus Ranch is remembered by the powerful is that there are a large number of horses from the Western Regions here.

Shang Xiuxun purchased a large number of war horses from the Western Regions through Yuezhi.

Use Western Region horses and grassland horses to breed war horses suitable for the Central Plains.

And now the good horse given by Mu Yuan has been introduced.

These good horses are of better quality than any other horses, but it's a pity that Mu Yuan gave too little, only a few hundred horses.

It is enough to breed good seeds.

Mu Yuan smiled, "Yongzhou can only raise a maximum of 100 million horses, and the maximum number of horses that can be used as war horses is 20."

"But this is enough, anyway, I don't need so many horses in the future."

What Mu Yuan said is actually not that exaggerated, because high-yield crops are now planted.

As a result, the people had surplus food to raise horses.

Horses can't just eat grass.

Food expenditure is actually a large part.

The number of horses that can be raised has little to do with pastures, but has a lot to do with grain production.

And if Yongzhou's normal grain production is enough for the private breeding of about 100 million horses.

Ordinary horses have little to do with pastures, but war horses have a lot to do with pastures.

After all, war horses need an environment for growth.

So the main purpose of Mu Yuan building several pastures is actually to select war horses.

Of course, if Yongzhou really had 100 million horses and 20 war horses, it would be terrible.

This is something that even the Sui Dynasty dare not imagine.

Because having 100 million horses means that there are at least 50 horses that can be used as military horses.

With 20 horses, a cavalry force of 10 can be formed.

Of course, it is impossible for Mu Yuan to form as many as one hundred thousand cavalry.

After all, Muyuan's cavalry and prairie cavalry are not the same concept at all.

Turkic cavalry, as long as there is a horse, it is a cavalry.

But Muyuan cavalry, even the cheapest light armored cavalry, still needs a complete set of cavalry armor.

With a variety of training and weapon configurations, one cavalry of Muyuan is enough to equal the value of three Turkic cavalry.

And the horses that can be used as war horses are definitely much better than the Turkic war horses.

Therefore, Muyuan has so many horses for [-] cavalry, but he cannot afford such a large number of cavalry.

Now [-] cavalry is his limit.

But [-] cavalry is scary enough.

After all, Muyuan's cavalry are very professional cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is far from that of Turkic light cavalry.

Muyuan's [-] cavalry, even if it was only light armored cavalry, was enough to defeat the [-] Turkic cavalry.

Although the Sui army had about [-] cavalry, except for the cavalry of Xiaoguowei, the combat effectiveness of the other cavalry was not much different from that of the Turkic cavalry.

So when it comes to cavalry, even if it's just the number, in the Sui Dynasty, Muyuan was second only to the Sui army.

Now there are about 30 horses in Yongzhou, and there are only about [-] horses that can be used as war horses.

There is still a lot of potential.

Among them, the Pegasus Ranch occupies [-] of them.

This is also the basis for Mu Yuan to form [-] cavalry.

The number of horses in the entire Sui Dynasty was about 100 million, and there were about 150 million in the past.

However, more than 50 people died during the Sui Emperor's three expeditions to Korea.

Not many anymore.

This is only 100 million with the addition of private horses.

The Sui Dynasty could only control about 40 horses.

However, the 40 can already allow them to support the consumption of [-] cavalry.

So the difference between the number of horses that the Sui Dynasty can control and that of Muyuan is actually not that big.

That's an extra ten (Zhao Lihao) ten thousand horses.

But Muyuan's horses were of much higher quality than Suishi's.

A large part of the Sui Dynasty were grassland horses, and the Western Region horses and Yuezhi horses were only equipped by elite troops, such as Xiaoguowei.
