In May of the seventh year of Tianbao, civil strife broke out in Dashi.
The black-clad Dashi rose in the northern province of Khorasan.
The uprising quickly swept across the country.
In the process of launching this uprising, Abu, as the leader of the main military force, failed to In order to gain power, Abu Abbas gained the unanimous support of many rebel leaders and gained the leadership of Black Clothes.
Although civil strife broke out in the Great Food Country, the Silk Road between the East and the West was not cut off, and merchants still frequently traveled between the East and the West with their caravans.
Zhao Ziliang took this opportunity to raise the price of the big food horses and carry out large-scale purchases.
Some businessmen frequently visited various parts of the big food country to purchase horses, and trafficked the purchased big food horses to Beiting to find Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang said nothing and followed the original plan.
Commit to purchase at double the market price.
As a result, other merchants got the news and went to the Kingdom of Dashi to try their best to get the horses.
Some merchants even bribed the lieutenant generals of the Dashi Army and secretly trafficked the horses out of the country to Beiting.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the tall horses.
The strong big food horse was delivered to his horse farm by the merchants, and he was so happy that he was so happy.
"General, general, two hundred more food horses have arrived today.
It's great.
So far, we have more than 10,000 purebred food horses, and every one of them is top quality."
Zheng San San walked in refreshed and reported to Zhao Ziliang.
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Okay, arrange to send them to the horse farm immediately and have someone take good care of them.
We must hurry up on the breeding.
Within five years, the number of horses that I want to eat will reach 30,000."
Zheng San thought for a while and said: "With our own cultivation and purchase from merchants, we should be able to reach 50,000 generals within five years.
If we just use big food horses to form heavy cavalry, we won't need so many. , it costs too much to build heavy cavalry, not to mention the weapons of the soldiers. , armor, bows and arrows and vests require huge expenses.
Even the food and fodder for the horses is a huge expense.
Even if the general becomes the governor of Beiting, he will only have at most 30,000 soldiers and horses to form 5,000 heavy cavalry.
It’s enough.
It’s such a waste of food and grass to raise so many big food horses.”
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Of course I know this, general, but you have not considered the loss of war horses in war, and not all big food horses can be used as heavy cavalry mounts.
Big food horses are bred to be used as heavy cavalry war horses."
The probability is not high.
In order to be able to replenish them in time after battle losses, we must have sufficient reserves of war horses.
In addition, we must also start the reserve of heavy cavalry knights."
Zheng San nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Understood, I will leave this matter to Leader Yu Zhu and others who are responsible for the herding and breeding of war horses.
They selected some prisoners from Dashi's captives who can raise and breed war horses to help take care of Dashi.
Ma He is responsible for the cultivation, and there should be no problem in completing the tasks assigned by the general within five years."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "That's good.
How is the recruitment of soldiers and refugees from the mainland going?
I heard that the first batch of recruits and refugees are arriving soon."
Zheng Sandao: "Yes, there are five thousand soldiers in the first batch, coming from all over the country.
Their ages meet the requirements of the general, and they are all between sixteen and thirty-five years old.
There are twelve thousand refugees in the first batch, a total of four Thousand households, including more than 8,000 men and more than 3,000 women."
"The number of people is quite large, but the ratio of men to women is too different."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and said, "We have to find a way to get more women to come over."
"What the general said is true.
My subordinates only discovered this after they reported the number of people, so they sent them a letter asking them to recruit more women, even children.
The situation has become increasingly worse in the past few years.

Unfortunately, a large number of farmers have lost their land and have too many children to support them.
They can only sell them, and most of the people sold are girls.
It’s just that the cost of getting girls this way is too high."
This cost was too much, and it involved human trafficking.
As a person from later generations, Zhao Ziliang felt very repelled.
He thought about it and said: "We can persuade the refugee families to move their entire families here, and we will pay for the travel expenses.
After coming here, the land will be distributed according to the population of each household.
If the ratio of men and women is too different, it will not be conducive to the development of the population.
We must pay close attention to this matter."
Zheng San bowed and said: "I understand, my subordinates will arrange for someone to send a letter back to the mainland as soon as possible and ask them to adjust the ratio of men and women."
After half a year of operation, Zhao Ziliang has replaced all the main generals of the Han Navy with his own people.
Seven of the Eighteen Tornado Cavalry have served as camp leaders in the Han Navy, and the rest have temporarily stayed with Zhao Ziliang.
Liu Tiao Tiao served as the judge of the Han Navy, Dugu Jun served as the long history, Chen Qing still served as the marching Sima, Wang Can still served as the commander of the scout camp, and also served as the leader of the Tianyan Secret Network, and Gong Ren became the Zhonglang General of the Military Law Department. .
On the eighth day of May in the seventh year of Tianbao (748 AD), Bai Xiaode and Pugu Huai'en, who served as generals of the cavalry in the Anxi Protectorate, jointly came to Zhao Ziliang's home in Beiting.
The two of them have not seen Zhao Ziliang for a while.
Although Anxi and Beiting are not very far away, they are not close either.
There is also the Tianshan Mountains between them.
It would take more than half a month to meet each other.
However, over the years, the two of them have not met each other.
Zhao Ziliang has written letters to each other, and the teacher-student relationship has always been there.
In the evening of this day, Zhao Ziliang had just returned from inspecting the Han Navy barracks.
When he walked into the house, he met the housekeeper Wang Ru.
Wang Ru bowed his hands and saluted: "General is back.
Generals Bai Xiaode and Pugu Huai'en have come from Qiuci.
In the afternoon I just arrived.
I have been waiting for the general.
They are now playing with the two young masters and the young lady in the martial arts training ground."
Zhao Ziliang was stunned after hearing this, "Why are they here at this time?
It's not close to here from Qiuci Town?"
Wang Rudao: "This subordinate doesn't know."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and turned towards the martial arts training ground.
After a while, when he arrived at the martial arts training ground, he saw two young strong men in armor fighting Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting respectively.
His youngest daughter Zhao Xue watched from the side and kept stopping.
They were jumping to their feet and clapping their hands.
They were Bai Xiaode and Pugu Huai'en.
Bai Xiaode was using a broadsword and he was facing Zhao Lei.
Although Zhao Lei was only eight years old, he was born with supernatural powers.
After he practiced martial arts for a period of time, Zhao Ziliang discovered that he liked to use Fang Tian's painted halberd, so before leaving Beijing, he visited Xue Rengui's youngest son, General Xue Chuyu, and asked him for Fang Tian's painted halberd.
The halberd method.
Xue Chuyu once served as the governor of Youzhou, but because his eldest brother Xue Na was ostracized by the conservatives when he carried out military reforms, he was also implicated and accused of malfeasance in office, so he was dismissed from office and has been idle at home these years. , Xue Chu Yu admired Zhao Ziliang more and learned that he was seeking the halberd technique for his son Zhao Lei.
He also personally saw Zhao Lei's bones and found that the child was indeed a good candidate for making Fang Tian draw halberds, so he passed on the halberd technique to Fang Tian.
Gave it to Zhao Lei.
Now Zhao Lei is using the Fang Tian Painted Halberd that weighs fifteen kilograms.
This weight is relatively light for a powerful general, but don't forget that he is only eight years old.
In terms of strength, Zhao Lei at this time is not as good as Bai Xiaode.

Bai Xiaode is a powerful general and a strong general in the army.
Otherwise, Zhao Ziliang would not have let him be his captain of the bodyguard in the first place, and Zhao Lei lacked experience in fighting enemies. , so he was always at a disadvantage and was beaten by Bai Xiaode.
However, Bai Xiaode had a good grasp of proportion, which did not make Zhao Lei feel that he was invincible, but also put great pressure on Zhao Lei.
Zhao Ting's strength is not as good as that of his brother, but it is not much smaller, and his reaction speed, flexibility and intelligence are much stronger than his brother Zhao Lei.
The Ma Chao used by Zhao Ting is also a long weapon used by powerful generals. weapons, but it It also requires a high degree of flexibility and reaction speed to use.
He inherited Zhao Ziliang's martial arts, and Zhao Ziliang taught him his own martial arts.
However, his current strength is not enough to use a super heavy weapon like the Golden Nail Zaoyang Yang. weapon.
Zhao Ting used a ten-pound horse spear.
Although he was young, his fighting power should not be underestimated.
Pugu Huaien almost suffered a loss in his hands.
His horse spear made him appear elusive and completely inherited.
One of the characteristics of Zhao Ziliang's Golden Nail Zaoyang Yang is that he is cunning and ruthless.
To make Ma Shan cunning and ruthless, his strength and dexterity must reach a certain level.
From this aspect, although Zhao Ting is not as strong as his brother Zhao Lei, his control of power is better than that of his brother.
The four of them fought for hundreds of rounds.
In the end, Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting both jumped out of the fighting circle and surrendered.
Bai Xiaode smiled and said: "The eldest son's Fang Tian painted halberd has made some achievements.
Given time, he will definitely be able to defeat me.
Maybe even better than the general."
Pugu Huai'en said with a frightened look: "I was almost stabbed in a hole by the Third Young Master just now.
The Third Young Master is already twice as capable as a general in dealing with Zhan Fa's drilling camp."
Zhao Ting pursed his lips, "Humph, I only have two points of skill.
I am already seven years old.
When I am fourteen years old, I will only have four points of my father's skills.
And when I am twenty-one, I will only have six points of my father's skills."
My strength will stop at the age of twenty-one, so I will never be able to catch up with my father."
When everyone around him heard this, they burst into laughter.
Zhao Ting was still just a child after all.
His mother Nie Sanniang couldn't help but patted her head and said with a smile: "Silly boy, this is not how this calculation works.
As long as you If you are willing to work hard, you will surely surpass your father."
Zhao Ting touched his head: "Really?
Then I understand."
Bai Xiaode and Pu Guhuaien found that Zhao Ziliang was standing behind the servants.
They didn't know when he came, so they hurriedly came forward to pay homage: "Greetings to the general.
I didn't know that the general was back.
I didn't salute in time.
Please forgive me for not saluting in time."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, no need to be too polite.
As long as friends from the military come to visit, these two children have to ask them for advice.
Many friends are afraid to come.
I hope I don't cause any trouble to you."
The two people quickly said: "No trouble, no trouble.
Those who practice martial arts have to constantly challenge the masters.
Back then, we often asked the general for advice and caused trouble to the general.
Today, it is our responsibility to be a sparring partner for the two young masters."

It's an honor.
With the martial arts and blessings of the two young masters, they will definitely grow up to be as heroic as generals in the future.
When future generations talk about it, they also know that we have practiced martial arts with the young master, and our faces are also shining."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "I see, in the past few years since you came to Anxi, your martial arts have not improved much, but you have learned to speak glibly."
The two of them touched their heads in embarrassment and giggled.
Zhao Ziliang said to the three children: "You can play by yourselves.
When sparring, be careful not to hurt each other."
After saying that, he said to Chen Qingying: "Ask someone to prepare dinner, add some dishes, Xiaode and Huaien, I and I will have a good drink, and prepare some tea to bring to the lobby."
Chen Qingying agreed: "Promise":
