Tianquan Liufanzhan, one of the sixteen chief lawsuits in Bashu, is located nearly 500 miles southwest of Chengdu Prefecture.

If you set out from Chengdu City and get here by horse, it will only take two or three days at most.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get here by riding a horse, because I went southwest of Chengdu Prefecture and went westward to Yazhou. After passing Meizhou, I went west and went to Yazhou, and there were mountains and forests that were completely unavailable.

There is no way. This place is already in the western border of the Ming Dynasty, and there is basically no land transportation. If you want to get here from the hinterland of Bashu, you either hike over mountains and ridges or take a boat to go upstream along the Dadu River.

Zhu Qizhe stood on the wheel boat, holding the cabin pillar with one hand and a telescope with the other. Looking at the continuous mountains on both sides of the river, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that this place is even harder than Shu Road!

At this time, he was already a little panting because it was already on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an altitude of almost two thousand meters. In addition, the Dadu River is turbulent, and if you want to stand firm on the boat, you have to grab something to maintain balance. He was really panting a little panting after being tossed.

Seeing this, Ma Qiancheng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but persuade: "Master, why don't you sit down and rest? There is nothing good here, except the mountains."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhi couldn't help but sit down and shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, this wheel boat was driven by a steam engine. If someone stepped on it, he would probably not be able to step on it even if he was exhausted."

This is not a joke, because the water flow of the Dadu River is too turbulent, and the upstream is getting faster and faster. In addition, the altitude continues to rise, people who have not been on the plateau may be exhausted if they keep stepping hard.

If he hadn't been for the war horse, he wouldn't have been able to run to the southwest border.

It turned out that the grasslands in Bashu were not in the Chengdu Plain, but between the mountains and ridges in the southwest border. The closest horse farm to Chengdu was the horse farm of Tianquan Liufanzhan. It was rumored that during the Hongwu Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty, Tianquan Liufanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanzhanz

Nowadays, war horses are too difficult to deal with. Because of the severe drought in the northwest, Jiannu was rampant in Liaodong. The horse farms of the Ming border army were basically abandoned. In addition, the largest official horse farm in Taipu Temple in Nandu was also sold by Wei Zhongxian. Therefore, it is quite difficult to buy war horses. Except for those horse dealers who have contact with the Mongolian and Yuan tribes in the northwest, few people can get war horses.

In fact, he had long wanted to provide more war horses to his subordinates to enhance mobility. However, it was hard to find war horses, and even if he had money, he could not buy them!

At this moment, he took down the entire Bashu, so he naturally wanted to buy some local Bashu war horses. Unexpectedly, the war horses came from such remote mountains and ridges.

No wonder few people sell war horses from Bashu. It is basically impossible to send horses out in large quantities in this terrain, unless there are mechanically powered ships like the wheel boats that can go upstream along the turbulent Dadu River.

How big is the grassland here?

How many war horses did Tianquan Liufan Trouble raise?

He couldn't wait to find out.

The fleet advanced for a while and finally entered a relatively gentle spiral of the water flow. A shout came from the front, and the destination of the trip was finally here.

Zhu Qizhu was excitedly out of the cabin and saw that he was very good. The river bank was full of men in leather armor, and the number was probably thousands.

These should be the border troops of Tianquan Liuban Recruitment.

Dozens of wheel boats followed the temporary pier built by the river bank one after another. Thousands of white-rod soldiers and soldiers got on the shore. Zhu Qizhuo then stepped onto the pier under the escort of Ma Qiancheng and Ning Choudan. At this time, Qin Zuoming, who arrived in advance, was already waiting on the pier with two red-faced men.

As soon as he stepped onto the dock, Qin Zuoming came up with two men with red faces and bowed respectfully: "I will meet the emperor."

Zhu Qizhuo quickly reached out and said, "No need to be too polite, no need to be too polite. These two are General Gao and General Yang."

The two men with blushed faces came up with excitement and bowed respectfully: "I will go to Tianquan Liufanzhi to challenge Gao Jitai, please see the emperor and see Lord Ma."

"At the end, Yang Zhiming, deputy envoy of Tianquan Sixth Recruitment Office, met with the Emperor and Lord Ma."

They really didn't expect that the emperor would really come to this poor mountain and bad water.

Although this is the rebellious emperor of Jingnan, he is also a royal family member and a real vassal king!

Zhu Qizhi understood the attitudes of the two of them. Qin Zuoming must have negotiated with them and they had decided to submit.

He smiled and nodded, and said kindly: "Thank you for your hard work, two generals, don't be too polite."

After a few more greetings, Zhu Qizhe couldn't wait to make an offer, asking them to lead the way and take a look at the nearby grassland.

There is a reason why Qin Zuoming asked Gao Jitai and Yang Zhiming to build the temporary wharf here, because there is a large grassland nearby.

The group of people climbed over several mountains by the river, and a huge valley appeared in front of everyone.

This is the grassland of Tianquan Liufanzhan. However, the grassland here is different from the grassland outside the pass. The grassland outside the pass is basically flat, while the grassland here is slopes and valleys. Moreover, there are no large oxen and sheep and horses here. Except for the temporary camp, there are thousands of magnificent war horses, there are no cattle and sheep in other places.

What's going on?

Zhu Qizhu couldn't help asking, "General Gao, isn't your horse farm here?"

Gao Jitai quickly explained: "Yes, our horse farm is on Zishi Pass, and it is dozens of miles away from here."

Damn, dozens of miles!

Zhu Qizhu suddenly felt weak in his hands and feet. He just climbed over a few hills and walked about a few miles and was already a little overwhelmed. If he walked dozens of miles, he would be lifeless!

It seems that the horse farm is probably not good enough.

He followed Gao Jitai and others into the largest tent in the camp with regret. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to say, "General Gao, General Qin should have told you that we need war horses, so we need as much as we have. Of course, we don't want it for nothing. We just buy you one hundred taels per horse at the current current price. How many war horses can you provide?"

Gao Jitai diligently presented a cup of milk tea, and then said a little excitedly: "We can provide about tens of thousands of war horses. I wonder if the emperor wants so many."

Tens of thousands of war horses would cost millions of taels of silver. This was already a huge and terrifying wealth for the Tianquan Liufan Treasures who were trapped in the northwest border and were so poor that they were quarrelsome.

Zhu Qizhuo was stunned when he heard this.

Tianquan Liuban recruitment is as big as a county, and with such a large territory, it only raises more than 10,000 war horses!

What can more than 10,000 war horses do?

What he wants is hundreds of thousands of horses!

He was stunned for a moment, then he said with a little disappointment: "Is that just that?"

Tens of thousands of horses are just that?

This was accumulated over a hundred years of their Tianquan Liubian Talent. If their tribe members had not needed to use horses, they wouldn't have raised so many.

Gao Jitai couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Your Majesty, isn't tens of thousands of horses enough? How many do you want?"

Zhu Qizhuo said without hesitation: "At least one hundred thousand pieces, can you find a way to get it?"
