Sometimes Zhao Bing thinks that people are the most adaptable. Thinking about the fact that horses in his previous life have become rare things, which are rare in rural areas, let alone people who grew up in cities. But when he comes to this world, people have to change due to changes in the environment. He knows nothing about horses and can be called half an expert. He can basically distinguish between various horse breeds and see the advantages and disadvantages of horses.

Just like the group of horses in front of him, Zhao Bing could tell at a glance that it was the Baicha iron-hoofed horse among the Mongolian horses. If the glory of the Mongolian horses was famous for being swept across Asia and Europe, it left behind immortal legends, and the Baicha iron-hoofed horses among them were deeply connected with Genghis Khan's Qiexue Imperial Army.

Iron-hoofed horse, also known as sled horse, has a compact structure, even symmetrical, with vertical and sharp ears. Its buttocks are short and oblique, its hind legs are long, its ties are short and stands, its distance is not well developed, its hooves are small and stands, its hooves are hard, thick and round, and its color is like black jade. No matter what road you walk on, you don’t need to hang your palms. It is especially suitable for walking on mountain roads with more stones. It does not jump vertically or jump under the hill, and it walks smoothly and has excellent endurance. It is beyond the reach of other horses and can be called a rare good horse.

The iron-hoofed horse, an alien among Mongolian horses, was of course also a change that had to be made due to the environment. It is produced in the Langyin Mountains of the southern foot of the Greater Xing'an Mountains, and the upper reaches of the Xilamulun River. The Baichagou in the central production area is composed of crisscrossing hills of varying depths and crisscrossing hills. The local rocks are hard and the roads are rugged. After thousands of years of training, the Baichagou makes the hoof hard. If you don't install a hoof, you can walk on the stone roads in the mountains, so it is named.

The reputation of the iron-hoofed horse is related to the Empress Boshuer Hongjila Borte family of Genghis Khan. Since Borte married Chengtemujin, the Borte family followed Temujin to fight all directions and made contributions to Khanma. Most of the members of this family became Genghis Khan's personal protection or ministers in front of the tent. Because of the marriage between Borte and Genghis Khan, the Hongjila tribe became the most prominent family in Mongolia, called the Golden Family, and had the act of "ten thousand households to be crowned kings."

During the entire Mongol period, a vast area with Dalinor Lake as the center and Sila Mulun River as the radius was ruled by the Hongjila tribe of the golden family. Due to Borte, most of the children of the Hongjila tribe entered the palace to serve as the Imperial Guard of the Kyxue. According to the military system of the Mongolians, Huding and military horses were recruited at the same time. Therefore, the Iron Hoof Horse also entered the Mongolian court because of the Kyxue of the Hongjila tribe who lived here. As the master fought in all directions, he became the exclusive military horse of the Kyxue army.

However, as the Mongols conquered Central and West Asia, and even reached Europe, plundered a large number of good horses, the iron-hoofed horses gradually lost their status exclusively for Qiexue and flowed into various tribes. During the battle with the Song Dynasty, they were captured by the Song army. Zhao Bing ordered the horse supervisor to select the iron-hoofed horses and raise them independently in groups to avoid the degeneration of the horse breeds.

You should know that hooves are the most fragile part of a horse. Once injured or worn seriously, it is equivalent to scrapping. Therefore, ordinary horses must often trim the horse's hooves and replace the hooves. When cavalry is attacked for a long distance or when the war is tense, there is no time to change the hooves frequently. Then an iron hooves that are born with iron hooves and do not need to hang their palms have an absolute advantage. They can not only undertake the task of long-distance raids, but also eliminate the work of frequently changing the hooves...

Wu Xi and Chen Shu were extremely shocked when listening to His Majesty's talk, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of various war horses, and explaining the huge role of cavalry in war. The emperor not only had to deal with extremely heavy government affairs every day, discuss the way of governing the country with the central officials, worrying about the people's food and clothing, but also caring about the national war with the Mongol Yuan. However, His Majesty could still study war horses so thoroughly, and the hard work he had to do was imagine.

"Your Majesty is too hardworking. In the future, the matter of raising horses is left to the ministers. There is no need to do small things like selection and breeding and feeding," Wu Xi said.

" Raising horses is not a trivial matter. If I don't know how many horses my dynasty have, how many horses can be used as war horses; how much food each war horse eats, how much food and how much food and food can be eaten; how many war horses can travel under various conditions in a day, etc. How can I know how many cavalry troops can be formed, how much money to raise, and how much food and grass should be prepared during war." Zhao Bing said, "Although things seem small, they can affect the victory or defeat of a war and affect the rise and fall of the country."

"Your Majesty, how many horses do we have in the Song Dynasty?" Chen Shu asked.

"There are only more than 100,000 war horses available, too few!" Zhao Bing sighed.

"Is this too little?" Chen Shu said in surprise.

"Of course, the loss of war horses in a big battle is more than half, and we have no way to replenish the gap in time, which means that our cavalry will not be able to expand. Once the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the wars with the Mongols and Yuan mostly fought in plains. If the lack of cavalry will lose its rapid mobility. Just like a lame leg, it is easy to fall into a passive situation on the battlefield, so more troops have to be mobilized to make up for the gap. This requires a large-scale expansion to isolate the Mongols expelled from the Central Plains from the outside of the Frontier!" Zhao Bing said.

"Your Majesty's intention is that if you cannot completely eliminate the remnants of the Mongol Yuan, even if you occupy the Central Plains, you have to station heavy troops on the border to prevent the remnants of the Mongol Yuan from entering the Central Plains, and even build a large number of military towns to isolate the Central Plains and out of the Great Wall." Wu Xi thought for a moment and asked.

"The queen is very insightful, that's exactly that." Zhao Bing nodded, and couldn't help but secretly praise Wu Xi for being a political mind, and that he could think of something more profound from his words.

"Your Majesty has been criticized. I am just talking nonsense and guessing." Wu Xi said humbly, "Your Majesty is worried about occupying the Central Plains, but it needs to spend countless money and food to ensure that the border is intact. This will inevitably increase taxes and drag our dynasty into a state of lasting consumption, leading to the withering of people's livelihood and the hardship of the people, which is contrary to Your Majesty's original intention of making the world peaceful and living and working in peace."

"Well, putting people first, letting the people of the world eat and wear warmth, and the students of poor families realize their ambitions is the truth of long-term stability. The military and military force, rushing to collect violent taxes, and making the country a tool for certain interest groups is the road to self-destruction." Zhao Bing nodded.

"Your Majesty wants to fight the north again, just to lose the national and manpower for a while, and to seek long-term stability?" Wu Xi asked for a moment of contemplation.

"The world's general trend is that long-term unity will be divided, long-term unity will be united. There will be no immortal kings, and there will be no immortal dynasty. I don't expect to be able to achieve full success in one battle, I just hope that the world will be peaceful for at least fifty years, and I dare not think about it for a hundred years." Zhao Bing chuckled.

"Your Majesty is too pessimistic. With your majesty's great talent and strategy, you will definitely be able to pass on our dynasty for ten thousand years!" Wu Xi saw that His Majesty had no choice but to try to enlighten him.

"Ten Thousand Years?! That's just a beautiful imagination that cannot be realized!" Zhao Bing smiled bitterly. He came to this era from nearly a thousand years later. Naturally, he knew that with the development of science and technology, the progress of civilization, and the awakening of democratic consciousness, the feudal system will inevitably be replaced by more advanced systems, and changing dynasties is inevitable. The remaining dynasties, kings, either give power to the people, only retain titles and nominal rule; or survive the opposition of the people.

"Your Majesty may be able to be able to create great achievements for generations and bless generations of descendants!" Wu Xi explained.

"Haha, I hope this is the case!" He could only laugh twice for Zhao Bing, who already knew the result.

"Your Majesty will do it!" Chen Shu said with great confidence in the emperor.

"It's hard!" Zhao Bing looked at the innocent Chen Shu and said, "People are selfish. Even if I can create a new prosperous era, can future generations defend themselves? The demise of each dynasty is not that their descendants are foolish people, but that the powerful class he represents has become corrupt and has become a group that only protects its own interests. Just like when the country was destroyed in the Song Dynasty, there were loyal ministers and good generals and steadfast righteous men, their actions were contrary to the interests of this group, and they were rejected and attacked, and they were still powerless to turn the world back."

"Is this the reason why Your Majesty wants to suppress the family of officials after regaining Jiangnan, and even the gentry and Confucian scholars do not let go, but he appointed poor students and lower-class officials, and wanted to completely eradicate the family forces after regaining the Central Plains and cut off their chances of resumption?" Wu Xi asked with a frown. She was born in the Wu family, so she was naturally dissatisfied with the emperor's suppression of his family, but she didn't understand why. Today, the emperor seemed to have come up with the real reason.

"The queen wants to know why I have to suppress Wu!" Zhao Bing chuckled, "The principle of running water not rotting the door hinge not rotting. I don't need to explain the queen's knowledge!"

"I understand!" Zhao Bing said.

"When the Empress Dowager recovered Jiangnan, the Empress Dowager discussed my wedding with several central officials. In order to stabilize the situation and actually to suppress my desire to respect martial arts, she selected Confucian prominent families and noble families as concubines. The Wu family began to become officials in the Xining year. After a hundred years, all their children became officials, and even became prime ministers. As for your ancestor Wu Qian, his official career was ups and downs, and he was appointed as prime minister twice. It can be said that his disciples and old friends were everywhere in the court and the country. Of course, he was very good at official positions, was diligent in doing things, and also made achievements in politics." Zhao Bing said.

"But by the time when the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, the Wu clan had little achievements and had already been silent in the countryside. He admired the reputation of the Wu family, and the Empress Dowager and the important ministers strongly recommended you as the queen. Your family also tried their best to run in the court to promote this matter, hoping to re-establish the court with the queen. If they were to be content with their ranks, I would not be stingy with a few official positions, but they not only did not think about me, but instead secretly provoked the children of the disciples to fight against my new policy, opposed the equality of the land for the people, prohibited officials from commerce, and instigated the gentry to enter the capital to give advice. Even if the Tai students were in the palace and wrote a letter, they were involved in the planning."

"The children of the clan also repeatedly violated the ban in your name, and used your power to rush to the local government to interfere in local administration. But they entered the palace and just cried to you about being bullied and suppressed, but concealed all their abuses." Zhao Bing said, "It is not uncommon for a country to appear in a family to have unworthy children. However, they cannot tolerate the matter of borrowing the queen in the name of the queen."
