Five Hundred and Eighty-Three: Horse Plague in Northern Xinjiang (10)

The three tribes in the northern border originally lived in a multi-ethnic and multi-tribal situation, herding horses by the water. There were always disputes and fights between each tribe. Later, a tribe emerged with the support of the last emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and spent decades unifying the major tribal forces in the northern border.

This powerful tribe is the "Qiang tribe", which is said to be the remnant descendants of the Qiang witch tribe. Today, it is also the most powerful, populous and wealthy tribe among the three tribes in the northern border. The imperial court of the three tribes in the northern border is different from that in the Central Plains, and the composition of the forces is even more complicated.

If it were in the royal family of the Central Plains, the emperor would be incompetent and immoral, and the people would mostly choose to endure it. If the ministers could not persuade them, they would mostly turn a blind eye or do whatever the emperor wanted, but in the northern border, the situation is different.

If the king of the imperial court is incapable, the elders of the three tribes are qualified to use their own power to abolish him and recommend a new king!

Wuliba had suggested to the King of the Imperial Court that the mares that had come into contact with the Ferghana horses of the Shalan Kingdom should be slaughtered, but the King of the Imperial Court was optimistic, so that the horse plague had enough time to spread and caused inestimable losses to the major horse farms. Who should be held responsible for this?

Before the King of the Northern Frontier integrated the horse farms, the major horse farms were owned by the prominent nobles of the Northern Frontier.

The nobles were willing to let the horse farms accept the control of the Imperial Court because it was profitable. Now that the King of the Imperial Court’s wrong decision has caused them to suffer such a huge loss, can these powerful nobles easily swallow this breath?

When the news of Liu She reached Xiangyang County, the internal fighting among the three tribes of the Northern Frontier was already in chaos, and the prestige of the Imperial Court suffered a great blow.

Jiang Pengji was wearing a slightly thicker linen coat and a brown robe, sitting by the ridge of the field, with a sunshade hat on her head.

Although there is a drought this year, the harvest in the fields is still good. Last year, Xiangyang County was recovered and a large amount of wasteland was reclaimed in one go. Almost every household was allocated ten acres. After experiencing the joy of a good harvest, the people are now burning straw to spread the fields and increase the fertility of the fields.

Jiang Pengji listened to the secret report quietly and looked up at the sky.

It is now close to late autumn. According to the usual practice of previous years, the first snow should fall.

Jiang Pengji said calmly, "Don't worry, when the first snow falls, the horse plague in the northern border will be suppressed, but the losses that have already occurred cannot be recovered. Tell your father that if you have the ability, try to instigate conflicts within the northern border. The policy of the King of the Northern Border Imperial Court was seriously wrong, causing huge losses to many noble horse farms. I think he is also in trouble now, right?"

During this period, Jiang Pengji was either busy in the woodworking workshop or working in the fields, making the audience in the live broadcast room think that she was going to change her job.

Now there is a secret envoy of Liu She,

Everyone seems to be injected with chicken blood.

[End of a Song]: Hahahaha - I can laugh at this joke for a year. The three tribes in the northern border wanted to invade Dongqing, but God didn't appreciate it and coldly sent a "horse plague". Now it's good. I guess even the king of the imperial court will be driven down.

[Fried Mushrooms]: The right time, the right place, and the right people. Alas, the three tribes in the northern border didn't even have the right time, and they still had the courage to attack Dongqing. Who gave them the courage? Fish Leong? Now it's good. The horse plague has come, and the war horses have died one after another. I have checked it on Baidu. Hahaha, ancient war horses were really expensive. The northern border horse farm was almost wiped out. How much money did they lose?

[Sunset Seal the Sky]: No, no, no - they did lose a lot of war horses, which is very expensive when converted into silver, but you have to know that war horses are not currency, not liquid funds, and the losses of the three tribes in the northern border are not actually that huge.

Assuming that the war horses in the northern border can be sold, the price sold to others must be inflated, but it cannot be said that the war horses are worth this money.

The three tribes in the northern border have horse farms of all sizes. They have the final say on the price, and outsiders don't know the actual cost of a warhorse.

[Today's Box Grab]: That's right. We calculated their losses based on the price of the warhorse. If we calculate it based on the cost price, the loss will definitely not be as big as imagined? But it's not much different, anyway, it's a blood loss.

[Thief Tama Excitement]: I'm the only one who is worried about how the host will solve the problem of horse plague if he attacks the northern border in the future?

Jiang Pengji glanced at the live broadcast barrage. The secret envoy had already retreated. She seemed to be wandering in the sky, but in fact she sent a barrage in the live broadcast room.

[Host V]: After listening to the secret envoy's report, I can more or less guess how the horse plague is spread. It is mostly related to mosquitoes, flies and insects. The source of horse plague comes from the vicinity of Shalan Country, where the climate is humid and hot, and there is no frost and snow all year round, mostly in spring and summer. If mosquitoes, flies and insects are the source of transmission, then when the weather gets completely cold and frost and snow cover the earth, the horse plague will naturally be suppressed.

There are only a few ways for the source of the disease to spread. After excluding various transmission routes, Jiang Pengji targeted mosquitoes, flies and insects that are more common in the grassland. Although there is no decisive evidence for this guess, she believes in her judgment.

If it is airborne, even if the source of the disease has a very long incubation period, horse plague will break out in a few days and spread throughout the northern grassland. The results proved that it was not the case. Horse plague spreads in the form of radiation infection. The transmission speed is not fast, but not slow.

The audience in the live broadcast room suddenly realized.

[Scarlet Starry Sky]: I feel that this horse plague is a bit like African horse plague, but the incubation period is longer than that of African horse plague, and the mortality rate is also higher.

[Heroes of the Storm]: In short, the anchor knows it in his heart, and we should just watch the show quietly.

At this time, a viewer suddenly mentioned a question.

[Warm Bell]: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - suddenly I remembered something. Xiaobai is also from northern Xinjiang. Is there a source of horse plague?

Thinking that such a handsome and well-behaved star horse would die suddenly, everyone was anxious.

[Anchor V]: Xiaobai is doing very well, he is fine.

The steward of Jubaozhai told Jiang Pengji that he had bought a fine snow-white war horse and wanted to dedicate it to her. At that time, Jiang Pengji carefully inquired about some details and only asked the groom to throw Xiaobai to Dabai after making sure that Xiaobai was fine. VIP stables.

The steward of Jubaozhai took Xiaobai out of Northern Xinjiang and deliberately took a detour to Xiangyang County, which took more than a month.

If Xiaobai was sick, he would have died on the road long ago. How could he get to Xiangyang County safely?

There were burning straw everywhere in the fields. Jiang Pengji stood up and put on her clogs.

At this time, Li Yun also came back from his inspection, with a simple smile on his face, which attracted the attention of many older girls.

"Lord——"

Jiang Pengji nodded, indicating that it was time to leave.

Li Yun showed his white teeth with joy, "I thought there would be no harvest due to severe drought this year, but I didn't expect it would be a bumper year."

He checked the harvest status of each household's fields and found that the grain was enough to feed the people of Fengyi County.

Taking into account the farming in Cheng'an County, next year's autumn harvest will not only have enough food for the people of the county, but also the army of 20,000 will not be short of food.
