Chapter 525 Flying Tiger
At this moment, Uenqi said again: "Although Mongolian horses are practical, they are not good at it. After Kublai Khan entered the Central Plains, he felt that Mongolian horses were not eye-catching in appearance, especially those in the royal family riding, but ordered a horse-raising official named Gurgen in the palace to improve it. After three years of experiments, Gurgen decided to use British purebred horses to mate with Mongolian horses. You must know that British purebred horses are the fastest and best-structured horses in the world. They are brave and sensitive, and have a stubborn personality. Once they run, the temperature of blood on their bodies will rise instantly, making them faster. However, this horse is the best horse racing, but it is very delicate, very picky to eat, and the endurance of running long distances is not good. It is exactly the opposite of Mongolian horses, but it is just like this, it becomes a perfect match."
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "When he decided to use this horse to cultivate a better breed, Gurgen chose ten best male Mongolian horses and ten best female British purebred horses. These horses are very young, and during the estrus period, I hope they can mate to see what the young horses they gave birth look like. Who knows maybe it is a regional relationship. Although it has reached the estrus period, a year has passed, and no pair of ten Mongolian horses and ten purebred horses have successfully mated. However, the Gurgen family has been a good player in raising horses and tying horses on the Mongolian grasslands for generations. He thought hard for a month and finally came up with a solution, which is to place ten male Mongolian young horses and ten female British purebred horses.
Feed them together, and when they had feelings, half of them began to mate and finally gave birth to three new horse breeds. Gurgen carefully observed and carefully selected the one that performed best and carefully cultivated them, becoming the mount of Kublai Khan. After he succeeded, he continued to cultivate them and finally formed a new horse breed. This horse has a tall appearance, smooth fur, noble and beautiful, and has amazing speed, but it maintains the endurance of a Mongolian horse. There is no problem walking hundreds of miles a day, but the number of horses is extremely rare. Except for the most noble descendants of the Tatarot tribe, the royal family of other veins cannot own it, so it is also called the 'Dayuan Royal Horse'."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haotian walked to the side of the "Nisgbari", but saw that it had high legs and long fur on its body was as shiny as black silk satin. He was really happy at first sight and said, "So, Nisgbari is the descendant of the Dayuan Imperial Horse?"
Uenqi nodded and said, "There are only one male and two females in Badatota City. Later, the male one was shot and killed when Prince Hadanzhaorige broke through. The other female prince was brought out. But if you grow up, it is already old. Fortunately, the descendants of Gurgen have been following King Tatarot. He survived the chaos when Badatota City was broken. And when he arrived in the valley, he found a way to let a Mongolian horse with good blood mate with this female horse and gave birth to the 'Nisgbari'. It is fifteen years old this year. According to the age of the horse, it is in its prime. Prince, this was originally reserved for you. Now, you should ride on it and conquer the grassland like your ancestors and get the highest honor of the Tatarot tribe."
When Zhang Haotian heard this, he felt warm and reached out to touch "Nisgbari". Unexpectedly, as soon as his finger touched its fur, "Nisgbari" made a long neigh that was much louder than an ordinary horse. His four hooves were raised and he kicked towards Zhang Haotian.
Fortunately, Zhang Haotian reacted with a sensible reaction and avoided its iron hooves. Seeing this, Haninohai's face changed drastically. He quickly held the reins of "Nisgbari" and shouted loudly in his mouth.
Uenqi hurriedly said, "Prince, don't be anxious first. I forgot to tell you that 'Nisgbari' was originally prepared for you. It is the exclusive mount of the Tatarot King. From childhood to adulthood, no one has ridden it on its back. Moreover, this kind of horse is stubborn and arrogant in nature, and is very wary of outsiders. I think you should slowly develop feelings with it and then try to ride it."
Zhang Haotian looked at "Nisgbari", but saw it staring at him with a pair of geese. As expected, he was guarding against him, and his expression was very "arrogant", which immediately ignited his competitive spirit. But he also knew that his riding skills were still poor. He must not just rely on impulse to deal with such a fierce horse. He gritted his teeth and said, "Harinauhai, take it back first, come back later to teach me riding skills."
Haninohai was Chinese and agreed, and then said, "Prince, today is your happy day to ascend to the throne. Let's take a day off before studying."
Zhang Haotian shook his head and said, "I want to go out to grab the bride. The riding skills cannot be too bad. Now is a very time. Time is very precious to me. Take 'Nisgbari' back and bring me another horse. I am too docile now and only suitable for children to ride."
Haninohai responded again, and rode his horse and took "Nisgbari". Zhang Haotian said to Uenqi: "Great Shaman, I want to learn riding with Haninohai. You guys go and do it yourself, don't worry about me."
At this time, Wu Enqi had already seen Nai's father's shadow in Zhang Haotian, and felt very relieved. He knew that Zhang Haotian also needed to master various skills of survival and development on the grassland as soon as possible. He nodded and agreed, and then covered his chest and bowed to him with Xu Rigan and Idler.
Not long after, Haninohai came back on a horse, but he was holding a big green horse in his hand.
When he arrived in front of Zhang Haotian, Haninohai got off the horse and bowed to him, "Prince, this horse is also a good horse in our tribe, besides the 'Nisgbari', you can learn to ride it first, and then train 'Nisgbari'."
Zhang Haotian nodded and saw that the tribe began to set up fires in the open space. He knew that he was preparing tonight's bonfire banquet, so he said, "Harinau Sea, where else can you practice riding horses?"
Haninohaidao: "We can go out of the back valley and practice in the desert. There is thick sand. Even if we fall down, the damage will be much less."
Zhang Haotian said "um" and walked over, stepped on the kickstand, and turned over the horse. Someone was on the back of this big green horse. He was neither as docile as a "good temper" or as hostile as "Nisgbari". Instead, his butt fell and waved a few times. Zhang Haotian tightened the reins and became honest.
Follow the Hanino Sea to the back valley, and soon left the valley and arrived on the vast desert outside.
After moving forward, Haninohai stopped and said to Zhang Haotian: "Prince, riding is not difficult. As long as the waist and legs are strong enough, the horse can understand the command of the reins and practice diligently, there will be no problem. Therefore, as a good rider, the most important thing is to communicate with your own horse and understand the temperament of the horse."
Among the four major pictures, Haninohai and Gardi speak Chinese very well. Zhang Haotian could understand it completely and said, "The temperament of a horse? What temperament does the horse have?"
Haninohai said: "The temperament of a horse refers to the horse's reaction to things around it and its usual mental performance. It is called the horse's might in the Mongolian equestrian. However, their wits are different. The worst one is the wit. This kind of horse has a strong reaction to external stimulation, is prone to excitement and irritability, has no way to control and manage it, and always consumes energy and energy continuously. It has poor endurance and is basically unable to ride."
Speaking of this, he said: "The horses that can be ridden are divided into three types. The Hummer is not sensitive to external stimulation, but it is slow to react. It is usually used to pull a cart and do stupid work. It is smarter, easy to train and has good workability. Most war horses belong to this category. For riders, the one that is hard to come by is the Hummer. This kind of horse is smart and flexible and sensitive to external reactions. However, if you train, you can control yourself and absolutely obey the master's command. You have extremely strong abilities in all aspects."
At this moment, he pointed to the big green horse that Zhang Haotian sat down and said, "This horse is the Hummer. Nisgebari is not only a Hummer, but also the top one among the Hummers. It doesn't easily obey people's commands, but if it is surrendered for the first time, it will obey this person for life. There is a saying among the Han people that 'Good horses will not serve the second master', and 'Nisgebari' is like this. Prince, it's worth it to take some effort."
Zhang Haotian had long liked "Nisgbari". Hearing this, he said "Yeah" and said, "Hannauhai, teach me quickly."
Haninohai bowed and then began to teach him the basic principles of riding. During this period, Zhang Haotian had already explored some of his "good temper" and received guidance from equestrian masters like Haninohai. Many places were understood at a glance. Not long after, he galloped in the desert. Haninohai followed him, observing his posture and the movements of controlling the reins, and only occasionally gave a few instructions.
We practiced until evening, and it was getting darker, and the two of us rode back. At this time, the bonfire banquet of the Tatarot tribe had begun. More than 2,000 Tatarot tribe members were walking from their yurts to the open space. There were already three piles of high firewood burning there, and there were dozens of small fires next to them. The whole sheep with skinned sheep were burning on the fire. All Tatarot tribes formed a large circle around the fire. From time to time, people could see people walking in the middle to perform singing and dancing, and everyone kept responding with applause and cheering.
Seeing such a happy scene, Haninohai sighed and said, "It's been a long time since the Tatarot tribe has been so happy. Prince, do you know that these firewood were brought back by people who went out to hunt and prepared to make torches on the night road. Now they can't stay in the desert anymore, and there is no use if there is too much. The great shaman ordered only a small part of it, and the rest were all used tonight, so that everyone could spend a night happily."
Zhang Haotian nodded without saying much, rode over to him. When he saw the prince coming, the Tatarot tribe cheered and covered his chest and bowed to him. Zhang Haotian waved his hand and walked in. He had already seen a row of tables in the middle of the bonfire, filled with food and wine jugs filled with horse milk. Uenqi took Idler and Xu Rigan to sit behind the table, with a seat in the middle of the table empty, which seemed to be prepared for him.
Seeing Zhang Haotian coming, Wu Enqi, Idler, and Xu Rigan hurriedly saluted him and welcomed him to the middle and sat down. Wu Enqi waved his hand and heard three sounds of ox horns. First, four big men walked into the venue with a big drum, and a middle-aged man hit him. Amid the drum, more than a dozen men with naked upper bodies, wearing sheep's heads and blood on their faces walked into the venue. They danced with the rhythm of the drum, and the formal performance of the dinner began.
Zhang Haotian looked at this dance. To be honest, he did not feel much beauty. It was just a primitive, without artistic body rhythm. There were many movements that imitated animals, which could only be said to increase some lively atmosphere.
After the performance of the man with the beast head, he saw several knights coming out, but three men and three women. He rode his horse and ran slowly in the field. When he arrived at Zhang Haotian, he bowed to him and raised his whip to speed up the speed. All six of them stood on the horse, and the horse ran in circles, but his body was steady without any shaking.
Zhang Haotian knew that this was performing equestrians, so he was interested in it. He looked at it intently, but saw that the horseman's horse was amazing. The three women actually jumped onto the backs of the three men under the leaping of the horses, and then stood on his shoulders to pay tribute to the audience outside the venue, which immediately attracted a burst of applause and cheers. Even Zhang Haotian also applauded and shouted.
Seeing that the prince was applauding and applauding, the six of them performed even more vigorously. They rode on their horses again, jumped off the horse at the same time, and then turned on the horse while running, and then kept doing the same movements.
