Chapter 252 Finally, there is a horse! Moon

In the second year of Hongwu in the Song Dynasty, on the second day of the sixth month, Lingzhou City.

Lingzhou, that is, Xiping Prefecture was originally the Xijing of Dabai Gao Kingdom (Tokyo of Dabai Gao Kingdom is Xingqing Prefecture. Although Xingqing Prefecture is located further west, Lingzhou is in the east, but Yuanhao stipulates it so), so there is an imperial palace in the city.

When Chage led his troops to run away from Lingzhou, he sent someone to "wash" the palace in the city (it's not called robbing yourself, it's called washing) and set a fire when he was about to come. However, when Zhao Kai moved in on the first day of June, the Han tyrants in Lingzhou had already taken the best utensils and supplies from their homes and redesigned the palace, but some of the palaces that had been fired were unable to be restored.

In addition, the eunuchs and palace maids in the Lingzhou Palace were also taken away by Cha Ge. However, the patriarchs of the Lingzhou clan who had good surrender postures all chose the yellow-flowered daughter from their families to fill in the gaps of the palace maids, but the eunuchs could not get all together for a while.

Zhao Kai's army drove into Lingzhou on the morning of June 1st and drove into the north gate. After entering the city, he did not pretend to be a good person and immediately declared martial law!

Now, the streets and alleys of Lingzhou are full of Song soldiers patrolling. Each of them is very tired, but extremely excited. Most of these soldiers are from the Wu family of the Western Army. Many people pretend to break the Lingzhou City when they were playing games when they were young, and many of their elders died in the battle of Lingzhou in the fourth year of Yuanfeng.

Such a castle that the Western Army had been thinking about for so many years now has been taken down by them... and it also crushed its opponent with absolute strength, scared away the arrogant Western thief King Cha Ge, and finally entered the city with a swagger as the kneeling of the powerful Han tribe of Lingzhou.

After all, I can blow this process in front of my ancestors’ tombs all day!

For Zhao Kai, who had already moved into the Imperial City of Lingzhou, this battle in Lingzhou is also of extraordinary significance.

First of all, Lingzhou is not a city that has just been lost, but a city that has been lost for more than 120 years. Its nature is the same as that of Yanjing.

The significance of seizing Lingzhou is comparable to the recovery of Yanjing!

Secondly, the Battle of Lingzhou was a real sublimation battle for the Song army under Zhao Kai! The tricks he used before, such as restoring the military system and establishing the military title system, were actually some "reversing" methods. He did not need him as a "time traveler", and the ancients could do it themselves... but those "meat eaters" who were in high positions had to use the method of scattering life in peace to deal with the chaotic world of rituals and music for various purposes.

In the original history, in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just started a bowl, used the trick of conquering the world and dividing the fields to restore the Han family?

However, the tricks that only change the distribution method to enhance the enthusiasm of the soldiers cannot defeat this Lingzhou Battle.

The battle of Lingzhou can win so beautifully, it is a truly useful gunpowder weapon!

It can be said that Zhao Kai, who had been fighting after traveling through time, really used his golden fingers since the Battle of Lingzhou, and it was very useful!

From now on, the Song Army (in charge of Zhao Kai), which has truly powerful gunpowder weapons with powerful lethality, has become the most powerful army in the world!

Third, after the Battle of Lingzhou, Zhao Kai and Zhao Hongwu's Song Dynasty finally stopped short of horses!

Not only are there tens of thousands of horses in Lingzhou City, but there are many farms with horses hidden outside Lingzhou City!

The more distant Hengshan Fan tribes also raised good horses!

On the second day of June, just the morning after Zhao Kai entered Lingzhou, a group of Lingzhou clans, led by the Tubo monk Darba, who had a very high magic power, stood in the Zichen Hall of the palace with a low eyebrows and awaiting the arrival of the Song Dynasty's official family.

What? Did Darba not pass away?

Of course not... that's a monk! How could he be "dead of thunder" so easily? During the battle between Diba and the city walls the day before yesterday, he recited scriptures on the city tower and did not go down to fight with the cannons in person. Those who were killed by the cannons were all his disciples, and they did not have enough magic power, so they passed away.

Darba has been practicing for more than 30 years. How could he not know that Xixia is about to be finished with such profound magic power? So when he saw something wrong, he found a place to hide. When Zhao Kai entered the Diba City, he came out to pay a visit... While paying a visit, he volunteered to enter Lingzhou to persuade him to surrender!

There were not only Han people in Lingzhou City, but also Dangxiang people, Tubo people, and Qiang people. Moreover, the Han people living in Lingzhou were not all "in the Xia Kingdom and the Heart of the Song Dynasty", and many people also had doubts about the Song Dynasty. For example, the descendants of Zhang Yuan, a famous Western Xia minister... Darba could come forward and match these people with a bridge to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the great monk Darba himself is not simple, and not anyone can be a high-ranking monk in Tubo!

Generally speaking, only those who are descendants of powerful men or Zanpu become monks and recite scriptures. Only then can they recite this scripture well and monks behave better.

Master Darba is such a famous monk from a famous family. He is the national teacher of Xixia and has great prestige in the Qingtang Fan tribe.

As long as you come forward, and add Zhao Huaien, the descendant of Yeshiluo, it will be enough to pacify the Tubo tribes of Qingtang... This Tubo in Qingtang has a "special product" called Qingtang Longma!

This is a good horse based on Hequ horses and long-term selection and breeding. The Qingtang Troupe tribe in Qinghai Lake will transport the best stallion mares in the tribe to an island in the lake, so that they can raise foals there. After raising them from generation to generation, the horse breeding will naturally get better and better.

In East Asia in the twelfth century, there were no good horse breeds in the Song Dynasty, and the Jurchen horses of the Jin Kingdom (the Jurchen horses were also raised from generation to generation) were unavailable to Zhao Kai. Therefore, the Qingtang Longma was the best horse breed he could get!

If a group of Qingtang horses could be brought to Kaifeng Prefecture to raise the horse farm, perhaps a large number of good horses would be available in the Song Dynasty in a few years...

"The official's driver is here!"

As a Tiance guard raised his breath, he shouted loudly.

Zhao Kai, the official of the Song Dynasty, appeared in the sight of Darba and others, surrounded by Guo Tiannu, several female squads, and several Hanlins.

Oh, there is also a fairy in white who is also beside Zhao Kai. Zhao Kai is holding her jade hand, and the two look very intimate!

The monk Darba recognized at a glance that the fairy in white was the fairy who used the thunder magic to defeat the Western thief that day!

Looking at the intimacy between this fairy and Zhao Kai... Zhao Kai has probably already slept with the fairy!

This Zhao family is really amazing. Others are already very powerful in subduing demons and demons. He directly surrendered the fairy who came to earth... It seems that the legend is true. The Zhao family is really the king of choice!

Thinking of this, Darba quickly folded his hands together and performed a Buddhist tribute to Zhao Kai and the fairy.

A group of Lingzhou clans who followed him simply knelt down and kowtowed... These people followed the Western thieves for generations, and they were all sinners! Now they have to apologize first and then beg for mercy!

"Master, please sit down!" Zhao Kai smiled and sat down on an imperial throne, while Guo Tiannu and Wu Meiniang stood behind Zhao Kai, one left and one right.

Two palace servants (temporary palaces) who served in the hall brought a chair to Darba and asked him to sit on it too.

As for the other sinners, they can only continue to kneel!

Zhao Kai didn't plan to spare them...but now is not the time to discuss punishment, so Zhao Kai had to coax the Dangxiang people on the ground in Lingzhou, Weizhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Xiazhou, Yinzhou, Shizhou, and Hongzhou first.

We can't let them run away... Although these places are not gathering areas for Dangxiang people, they must have a population of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!

If you change to a horse, this is not expensive!

I have to let Li Qianshun exchange it for Ma!

If we could get 200,000 horses at a time, the horse farms in Kaifeng Prefecture and Zhao Kai's army would have enough horses!

"Master, Master..." Zhao Kai was about to discuss with this monk how to further fool Dangxiangren, but found that the monk was staring at Wu Meiniang... and looked shocked!

What's going on? What's the relationship with Wu Meiniang? Are they a brother and sister who have been separated for many years? No, they don't look alike, and they are much different in age!

Darba was called out by Zhao Kai and then he recovered. He saw Wu Meiniang standing respectfully beside Zhao Kai, and he became a little suspicious of Zhao Kai's identity.

Could it be that Zhao Kai also came from heaven?

I don’t know if Zhao Kai’s “Heaven” and “Western Heaven” are connected? Can you ask him about becoming a Buddha...

"Officials," Darba said it well in Chinese, "What are your instructions?"

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "I want to issue a notice in Lingzhou, Weizhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Xiazhou, Yinzhou, Shizhou, Hongzhou and other places east of the Yellow River, telling the Dangxiang people in those places that I have appointed Qianshun as King of Pingxi, Jiedushi of Hexi, and the Great Protector of Anxi... So they don't have to panic. I can let them go to Xingqing Prefecture to join Qianshun. As long as they hand over a horse that can still give birth to a foal, they can redeem their faults."

Zhao Kai's idea was to ask these Dangxiang people to hand over a horse one by one, and then control them to ask Qianshun for another horse, so 100,000 people could only exchange for 200,000 horses... As for the lives of these people or their wealth, Zhao Kai did not want it.

After hearing this, Darba quickly recited the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha, the official family is indeed the heart of a Bodhisattva!"

"Bodhisattva's heart?" Zhao Kai hurriedly asked, "Is it going to be less?"

"No, no more..." The monk shook his head quickly, "What you want is a fertile horse. You don't want either the old or the ones that have not grown up, and you don't want the castrated ones, that's a lot."

Zhao Kai nodded and smiled, "I think there are a lot... To be honest, our Song Dynasty official horses have not had 100,000 before the Xuanhe crisis! Master, can we get 100,000 horses from Lingzhou, Weizhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Xiazhou, Yinzhou, Shizhou, Hongzhou and other places this time?"

Darba smiled and said, "Yes, I must be able to do it, I will cover it!"
