Chapter 309: Arabian horse

马 Since Marin has officially eaten Angela, she feels like casting a little demon in her heart. Previously, Marin often worked late. Actually, it wasn't that Marin was really busy, but that Angela, a little beauty before, couldn't eat it, which made Marin a little depressed. That's why I intentionally use my work to divert my attention every day.
回到 When returning to the backyard of the palace every day, Marin was more sleepy, usually holding Angela, and fell asleep after a hand addiction.
Now that he has officially eaten Angela, he does not need to control himself. So, as soon as it's time to get off work at night, Marin hurried away from the front yard office area of ​​the palace, back to the living area of ​​the backyard, and found Angela rubbing ...
Angela is shy and always looks like she refuses to welcome him, but it really stimulates the desire in Marin's heart ... Therefore, Marin is a nightly song every night ...
You know, Angela is the best age of 18 years old, plus people who are beautiful, white and beautiful, are very attractive to Marin. Marin was 28 years old in his previous life and had not married a wife. Nowadays, there is a genuine beauty girl who can do whatever she wants. How can she bear it?
So, after a month, Marin obviously felt that his steps were a bit futile ...
After all, Marin was not a fierce man like Adler, and his body was thin and weak. Over the past month, it has been over-exploited.
It seems that Angela, who is more slender and weak, is more and more energetic ...
"Sure enough, there are only exhausted cows and no arable land ..."
For the sake of health, Marin rubbed his waist and ran to the Palace Medical Museum to find a Mongolian doctor to prescribe a prescription ...
However, Bartel smiled and told Marin that this was normal. Young people are just exposed to this kind of thing, and it is inevitable that some food pulp will be known, and it is easy to over-exploit. But after a long time, after two or three months, there is no such great impulse. At that time, the life of husband and wife will enter a normal law, and this situation will not occur. Of course, during this time, it is necessary to make up for it, so as not to be vain.
Then, at the suggestion of Bartle, Marin started using some food supplements. For example, bullwhip, leek or something. Originally, Bartel wanted Marin to eat wolfberry in wolfberry, but no wolfberry in Europe.
But Europeans don't eat such organs of animals. When Kohler learned that Marin was going to eat a bullwhip, there were as weird looks as weird. Then, many bulls that were raised as beef cattle were miserable. They were severely cut ... no, these bulls were cut only after they were slaughtered. Previously, the bullwhip was thrown directly. Now, Kohler quietly sent someone to collect it, and sent it to Battle. After being processed by Battle, he personally stewed it with medicinal materials, and then gave it to Marin, lest things get rumbling ...
In order not to lose money at a young age, Marin began to resume exercise and martial arts. However, Orich's Palace is too small, and it can be used for running laps. To contact the martial arts immediately, Marin had to go to the horse farm in the north of the city.
马 When Marin arrived at the horse farm to practice his martial arts, it happened that Kohler's men brought a batch of Arab stallions ...
批 This batch of Arab stallions was commissioned by Kohler before. The Jews roamed between Europe and the Arabs, and were important intermediaries between the Europeans and the Arabs.
At the moment, Turkey has very bad relations with Europeans because of the problems of Constantinople and the Balkans, and there is little cooperation between the two sides. However, the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt still had many trade opportunities with Europe. Moreover, Jerusalem, the holy place in the hearts of Europeans, was also under the control of the Mamluk dynasty. If you want to go to pilgrimage, you need the consent of the Mamluk dynasty. Therefore, the relationship between the Europeans and the Mamluk Dynasty was not good, but it was not bad. Jewish merchants also wandered between Europe and the Mamluk-controlled area.
The batch of Arabian stallions requested by Marin was the authentic Arabian Arabian horses purchased by Jewish merchants at the Mamluk Dynasty.
In fact, in the Arabian Peninsula, Arabian horses are worthless at all. Even an excellent Arabian warhorse costs 20 gold. Unlike in Europe, a random horse can cost 100 gold or more.
It's no wonder that many tribes of the Arabs are still in the nomadic era, and there are so many horses and camels. So many horses, how to sell high prices?
Those Jewish businessmen bullied Marin who didn't understand the market, and apparently did not exceed 20 gold coins per Arab stallion. 愣 He asked Marin for 100 gold coins per horse. These 50 Arabian stallions extorted Marin 5000 gold coins directly.
Marin was very clear, but he didn't care much. Only a batch of 50 horses, there is no need to turn their backs with those Jewish merchants. However, this also strengthened Marin's determination to form his own chamber of commerce and run Egypt's commercial roads in the future.
At this time, Barbary pirates have not yet risen, and armed merchant ships are still safe to walk in the southern Mediterranean. Only in the coastal areas of Morocco, it is necessary to pay attention to guard against Moorish pirates officially supported by Morocco.
However, if you use a class 250 armed merchant ship, two or three ships together will definitely not be afraid of any pirates. Egypt is rich in horses, as well as natural soda ash and thenardite. These were all that Marin needed. Before Marin commissioned the Venetians and Jews to help buy them, they were actually severely exploited. Therefore, Marin intends to hire a group of people to run this route.
Although he extorted Marin a sum of money, the Arab horses selected by the Jewish merchants were still very good. After all, in this era, people who knew horses were everywhere. If Jewish merchants casually pick some bad Malays to fool Marin, they must be ready to get revenge.
阿拉伯 These Arabian horses are very beautiful and bold. When Marin went to see those Arabian horses, the lively Arab horses stared at Marin curiously. If it weren't for the reins, maybe those curious Arabian horses would come up and sniff the smell of Marin, maybe they would arch a Marin ...
These Arabian horses are generally not tall, and their shoulder height is generally only about 1.5 meters. Switching to a mare may be even lower, with a shoulder height of just over 1 meter and 4 inches. Unlike European local knights, which have a shoulder height of more than 1m6, many stallions reach a height of more than 1m7.
However, as a war horse, only those who need to wear full-body plate armor need to be so tall and strong. For the Hussars, medium-sized horses like the Arabian horse are just right.
However, Marin does not intend to use Arab horses directly as war horses. Because, Arabian horses have a very important problem, which is-afraid of cold ...
A purebred Arabian horse, born in the Arabian Peninsula, has been living in tropical deserts since childhood.
She Marin clearly remembers that some local tyrants in the north in the later generations, after the introduction of Arabian horses, had to put Arabian horses in a heated room to prevent the cold every winter. Unlike Mongolian horses, they stayed in the stables in the cold weather, with nothing at all.
If the Arabian horses are placed in places such as Siberia or the Mongolian Plateau in winter with temperatures as low as tens of degrees below zero, there is a high probability that purebred Arabian horses will freeze to death.
Even if it is not very cold in western Europe in winter, it can sometimes be as low as minus 10 degrees. At this temperature, the Arabian horse will be very uncomfortable.
So, this time when introducing Arabian horses, Marin did not intend to introduce mares at all, but directly introduced stallions to breed ...
This is because although the foal inherits many characteristics of the father, but the physical characteristics are closer to the mother. Therefore, horses often give priority to mares when discussing descent.
The mare is cold-resistant, and most of the foals are cold-resistant. However, many advantages of fathers are inherited ...
Therefore, when ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Europeans started breeding horse breeds in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they chose to use local excellent mares adapted to the local area and excellent stallions introduced from outside for breeding to cultivate high quality And a new breed of horse that adapts to the local climate.
Based on this idea, Marin commissioned the Jewish merchants to buy 50 Arabian stallions in the Arabian Peninsula for breeding with local mares.
During the previous battle in Lyle County, Marin seized a total of 2,600 Saxon warhorses. Among them, there are more than 500 horses. Counting his previous 30 French warhorses, Marin now has almost 600 mare warhorses.
If all are used for breeding, this group of 50 Arabian stallions has an average of 12 wives per horse ...
One Arabian stallion has to deal with 12 mares ... Thinking of this, Marin smiled warily ...
Even Angela has made herself sour. If you serve 12 women, don't you spit it? Then he looked at the 50 horses with sympathy:
"Ladies, do n’t get excited, I ’ll use 12 tall horses (the description is quite reasonable, so Marin and Mares captured, including the previous French mares, the shoulder height is not lower than 1.6 meters, both (More than 10 cm taller than these Arabian stallions) to squeeze your ... "
After speaking, I didn't care if the lively Arab stallions could not understand, and left whistling happily ...
Thinking about the situation when a short Arabian stallion is mated with a tall European mare, Marin hesitates. You know, even when mating, the horse is standing. The mare was so tall, Marin thought-could those Arabian stallions climb up? Would you like to be a high platform so that the Arab stallions can climb on the mares ...
