At first, the conversation ended. Qin Zheng suddenly remembered the horse farming ranch, and thought of Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun, both professionals in this area. When he didn't visit, he heard their opinions, so he said: "But we don't have a professional horse farming ranch. The Military Commission plans to build a ranch in the Tianjin farm first, and temporarily put all the horses in the Tianjin farm for stocking. When the conditions are available, we will build a professional horse farm. But do you have any suggestions for a professional horse farming ranch."

Cheng Yajie said: "In fact, horse farms are usually built with farms, because more than half of the food of horses account for horses. In addition to forage and yellow alfalfa, there are also barley, sorghum, corn, black beans, etc., wheat straw, sorghum stems, and millet stems can also be used as horse feed. In addition, bone meal is used to supplement calcium, eggs are used to supplement protein, etc., to reclaim some farmland in the pastures, plant grain crops such as barley, sorghum, corn, beans, as well as grass and alfalfa, which can solve the feed of war horses on the spot. Therefore, in the old time and space, horse farming bases are usually located under a certain farm, or called a pastoral farm."

Qin Zheng nodded and smiled, "So, is Tianjin Farm suitable for raising horses?"

Cheng Yajie shook his head and said, "The farm is one of two farms. The horse farm should be flat. Of course, there is a little slope, but it must be close to the water source. This not only gives enough space for war horses to move, but also facilitates the growth of crops in the pastoral farm. In addition, horse farms are generally a base for cavalry training. Therefore, not only stables are needed, but also indoor, outdoor training grounds, soldiers' dormitories and other facilities are needed. Moreover, if it is a horse farm trained by cavalry, the scale must be at least 1,000 horses, and it is best to reach 3 ooo-5 ooo. Such horse farms occupy at least It is more than 100 acres, and I have been to Tianjin Farm. The total area is about 1,000 acres of scattered body, but they have basically been opened into farmland. Although the location of the pasture is also left, the place is too small, with only about 10 acres of scattered body. Such a large ranch can only be used to raise cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock. If used to raise horses, it can only accommodate about 100 horses, unless it is expanded outward. However, I think that the surrounding area of ​​Tianjin Farm is basically all over the world, so there is probably not much room for expansion. In addition, in the future, Tianjin's positioning will definitely be mainly circulation economy, finance, light industry, maritime transportation, service industry, etc., rather than agriculture and animal husbandry, so it is not suitable for building horse farming ranches in Tianjin."

Qin Zheng also thoughtfully after hearing this, and said, "Okay, I know what you said, but the areas we control now are limited, so it is still difficult to find a suitable place to build a horse farm. Fortunately, we don't have many horses now, only more than 150 horses, so we will squeeze in the Tianjin farm for the time being. When our territory in Shandong expands, we will definitely choose a suitable place to build a horse farm. Let's overcome it now."

Cheng Yajie said: "Political Commissar, please rest assured, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties."

At this time, Zhao Lijun said: "In fact, there is a place suitable for building horse farms in Shandong. If conditions permit, we can consider expanding our power here first."

Before Qin Zheng could speak, Cheng Yajie said, "You mean the isolated island farm?"

Zhao Lijun nodded and said, "Yes, it's the isolated island farm, isn't it just in Shandong?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Isolated Island Farm? I have a bit of an impression. Does it belong to the Jinan Military Region? But I remember it should be called a production base."

Cheng Yajie nodded and said, "The production base was later reorganized. The Gudao Farm is a subordinate of the Jinan Military Region. It was established in the autumn of 1959 in the old time and space. The administrative area belongs to Hekou District and Kenli County of Dongying City. It was originally engaged in planting, breeding and harvesting wild plants. In September 1963, the Quad Farm of Tuhaihe Farm in Zhanhua County opened a military horse farm to relocate and lived in the Gudao Farm. In December, the Gudao Farm and the Military Horse Farm were merged and converted into the Jinan Military Region Military Horse Farm. The site is located in the former Jinan Military Region Iron Island Farm, so it is also called the Gudao Farm. Later, the Gudao Farm and the Gudao Farm successively acquired the state-owned Iron Island Forest Farm.

Qingtuo Farm, Tongxing Farm, and Yellow River Farm Six Branch. The state-owned grassland was also enclosed twice, with a total area of ​​1.2425 million mu. The military horse farm also expanded accordingly. By the 1970s, the annual horse and mules in the military horse farm had more than 700 horses and annual output. It was once the second largest military horse farm in the army. In December 1992, with the approval of the Central Military Commission, it was changed to the Yellow River Delta Production Base of the Jinan Military Region, and was classified as a division-level unit. The agency was located in Gudao Town, Hekou District, Dongying City. However, after the 1980s, military horse production began to shrink. By 1989, the production of military horses had been completely stopped."

Zhao Lijun said: "Brother Cheng, you remember it very clearly. I only remember that this was once a base for raising horses, but I can't remember so much historical information."

Cheng Yajie said: "Because when I was in the army, I visited the Jinan Military Region production base, so I remember the situation of the isolated island farms."

Qin Zheng opened the Shandong map with his tablet computer. The location of the island farm is generally located in the northern part of Shandong, around the estuary of the Yellow River.

After the last natural divert in 1855 in the old time and space, the Yellow River merged into the Bohai Sea from Kenli County, Shandong. Although the garden dam broke and went south to capture the Huai River into the sea, it returned to the old road after being blocked. Therefore, after more than a hundred years of impact and precipitation, the Yellow River Delta formed in the Kenli County, Shandong area. Although the Yellow River Delta was formed for a short time and could not form a large area of ​​plain areas like the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, the Kenli County area in Shandong still showed a plain terrain, and the abundant water volume was indeed a suitable area for establishing a pastoral farm.

Qin Zheng said: "At present, our sphere of influence in Shandong is in the Weihai and Jiaozhou Bay areas, which are far away from Kenli County and Dongying City. In a short period of time, it is unlikely that we will expand our sphere of influence in Kenli County and Dongying City areas. However, I have recorded this matter. After our sphere of influence is expanded to Kenli County and Dongying City areas, we will definitely consider building a horse-raising ranch here."

Cheng Yajie said: "Actually, I know there is a place that, for us, is more suitable for building a horse farm than Kenli County and Dongying City."

Qin Zheng said: "Oh, is there any place? There?"

Cheng Yajie said: "It's Yangma Island."

When he said this, Zhao Lijun immediately said: "I know, I know, I have also been to Yangma Island for tourism!"

Qin Zheng was also very excited when he heard this, because when he heard this name, it was a place to raise horses and said, "Where is the Horse Raising Island?"

Cheng Yajie said: "Yangma Island is 30 kilometers east of Yantai, and is only about 50 kilometers away from Weihaiwei. In the old time and space, the administration belonged to Yangma Island Street in Mouping County, and built a cross-sea bridge of Yangma Island, which is connected to 6 places, with a total area of ​​13.8 square kilometers. It is said that Qin Shihuang visited Yangma Island many times during his Eastern Tour. He saw that the island was rich in water and grass, so he grazed horses on the island, so he was named Yangma Island. During the Ming Dynasty, the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang also stationed troops on this island to raise horses. However, in the old time and space, Yangma Island no longer raised horses, but was changed to a tourist area. However, the main tourism feature was still horse culture, and a large racecourse was built, which held national equestrian competitions and Sixth National Games equestrian competitions. Horse racing performances were held every Saturday and Sunday, and equestrian skills were held all day every Monday to Friday."

Qin Zheng couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this. If Yangma Island is only more than 50 kilometers away from Weihaiwei, then it is within the controllable range of the traveler. Since this is just an island, the strongest one of the traveler is the navy at present. Even if Yangma Island is occupied, it will not have much impact. Building a horse farm on this island is a suitable place.

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I will suggest to the Military Commission to contact the Weihai garrison immediately and ask them to send a boat to the Horse Raising Island to see. If the Qing court did not strictly guard the island, they would occupy the Horse Raising Island and build a horse Raising Field directly on the island. I think this suggestion should be passed by the Military Commission."

Seeing that Qin Zheng had agreed to send someone to the Horse Raising Island, Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun had nothing to say. Now they just want to rush to Dagukou as soon as possible and take a look at their war horses and cavalry. So they got up and said goodbye to Qin Zheng, left the administrative building, returned to their residence, and cleaned up their clothes and belongings.

In the afternoon, the two men's demobilization procedures had been completed, and uniforms, combat camouflage uniforms, guns and epaulettes were sent to the two. The uniforms and combat camouflage uniforms were spares for the time traveling army. However, the combat camouflage uniforms were not the green camouflage uniforms of the 6th Army, but the blue camouflage uniforms of the navy. Because the time traveling army did not actually have the 6th Army, only the epaulettes were made in this era. The regime established by the time travelers now has a certain production capacity, and it is no problem to make epaulettes or something.

The gun is a German-made Mauser Type 96 pistol. This is also the most equipped pistols of this era. First, in the battles in the front, the time travelers seized quite a few of this type of pistols, and second, the time travel soldiers had a very special feeling for this type of pistol. In the old time and space, this type of pistol, which was not very popular in Germany, was very famous in China, and was also called a shell gun and a box cannon. Before the founding of New China, this was almost the standard gun for the middle and senior generals of the People's Liberation Army. It was even more common in various film and television works, and it appeared very high.
