Daming Super Daddy

Although Zhu Song said this politely, Berkeley was taken aback when he heard it, and quickly saluted Zhu Song again, saying: "Your Highness Han is very polite, I will definitely not let you and His Royal Highness return home disappointed. "

"Okay, Berkeley, let's go in and have a look." Jones seemed to be reluctant to see Berkeley's courtship here, and urged repeatedly: "Berkeley, don't hide and hide, and drive out those strong horses."

"Lord earl, don't worry, the little ones won't be kept private!" Berkeley said as he led the crowd towards the stables. "Look, these wild horses are carefully bred in the Netherlands."

Seeing Zhu Song and Zhu Gaosui put their eyes on the war horses in the stables, Berkeley rolled his eyes and said, "As for the war horses, your Mongolian horses are really good, but our Dutch wild horses are not so much Wild horses are actually bred in captivity. Because these wild horses are all bred from captive horses and wild horses."

"Then you are not a wild horse, it is clearly a captive horse!" Zhu Gaochi said with some doubts: "Besides, although wild horses are full of wildness, they are better than endurance and fast speed. You are a horse, just from its appearance. It’s quite strong, but I don’t know how about its endurance, strength and speed? It won’t be the same as the one raised in captivity, right?”

"His Royal Highness does not know that this batch of war horses has been cultivated by us for several generations. We selected the best from the best. Up to now, they are many times stronger than the original wild horses!"

As Berkeley said this, he led Zhu Song and Zhu Gaochi for a walk in the stables.

Zhu Song looked at the wild horses, their ears fluttered, their huge hooves swung, and their noses snorted from time to time. Even the horses' eyes revealed a trace of wildness, as if they really had the blood of wild horses.

It is seen that Zhu Gaochi has not been on the battlefield much, but he still knows how to recognize horses.

Seeing these horses, Zhu Gaochi also nodded secretly in his heart. When he was a child, he often heard from his father that when Daming fought with Qian Yuan, the Mongolian war horses far surpassed the Ming war horses.

Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty was at war with the Yuan Dynasty, they paid special attention to the capture of the Mongolian cavalry and the plundering of the Mongolian war horses, and even took the initiative to contact the corrupt nobles of the Yuan Dynasty in exchange for gold and silver.

If Daming at that time had such wild horses as war horses, it would have been possible to establish Daming many years earlier, and his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang would have been able to be emperor for a few more years.

Berkeley is a person who is good at digging into camps and observing words and deeds. While walking around the stables with Zhu Song and the others, he kept introducing the characteristics of various horses in the stables, such as:

"Your Highness, there are a total of two hundred horses in this batch. They are the No. 20th generation of wild horses. You can see that this batch of horses are all black manes. Their limbs are strong and powerful. They are as fast as the wind. Heisha has a lot of momentum! If this kind of horse is used as a warhorse on the battlefield, it is enough to take the lead and break the enemy's momentum."

"Look at this horse, it looks very handsome." Zhu Gaosui tried to touch the mane under the neck of a horse, and said: "The mane is black and smooth, and the feeling is the same as that of Mongolian horses."

"His Royal Highness, if you want to try riding it, I suggest you choose this one!"

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi seemed to be a little moved, Berkeley stopped in front of a black horse, and said: "Your Highness, this horse is called Zijue, although it is more than [-] generations old compared to other wild horses. , is slightly smaller in size, but Zi Jue's speed can be said to be the fastest among the [-]th generation Mustangs."

"Prince, what's the matter, do you want to try riding a horse?" Zhu Song turned to look at Zhu Gaochi and asked.

"Let's have a look again." Zhu Gaochi shook his head, and said, "Besides, my nephew's body shape is probably not suitable for such a small horse. Let's find a taller one..."

Zhu Song showed such an expression on his face, and said: "Master Berkeley, you have heard what the prince said, don't just let us see these, introduce some tall horses to this king."

"It's easy to say, many of the other wild horse breeds are tall, come this way!" Berkeley's footsteps suddenly quickened, and he led the crowd to the southernmost part of the south stable.

When they got here, Berkeley began to introduce some tall horses to Zhu Song and the others, but after hearing the flattery introduced by Berkeley, Zhu Gaochi didn't care, but continued to move forward.

From entering the horse farm to now, Jones seems not to speak much, but Zhu Song has not forgotten him, and he has been talking about this guy while visiting the stables.

Jones seemed to be a little wary of Zhu Song, and began to dodge deliberately while speaking.

……

In this way, after walking along the southernmost stable for about thirty feet, Berkeley began to sweat, and at the same time he muttered to himself:

His Royal Highness is too difficult to serve you. You said you don’t like short horses, so I’ll introduce you to tall horses. But after introducing so many, you can’t even look down on any of them. Isn’t that intentional? ?

"Your Highness, just tell me what kind of horse you want!" The tall horses here have almost turned around, but Han Wang and the crown prince still got nothing, so he has to squeeze out his wealth!

"Forget it, you can just choose two wild horses of the twentieth generation for the prince to breed, at least they have enough endurance and are docile, right? They just happen to pull the carriage for the prince!" Zhu Gaochi laughed and said, "As for Uncle Song... ..."

When talking about this, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Song.

Zhu Song understood, and said, "Master Berkeley, to be honest, I don't even look down on any of the horses in your stables! When I came to your racecourse just now, I saw so many horses in the racecourse. Running wildly, the horse at the front is strong, with elegant lines and red mane like fire, this king thinks that horse is not bad!"

"This..." Berkeley was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he gave a wry smile, and said, "Your Highness Han, it's not that you are petty, but that the horse is fierce and hard to tame. There are many good horses in the small horse farm. Horse trainer, but those horse trainers have suffered under the hooves of this horse, you..."

When he said this, Berkeley stopped talking. After all, this is His Royal Highness King Han of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, one person was less than one man and more than ten thousand people. If he really gave this horse to King Han, King Han If something happens to this horse in the future, it will not only be his bad luck, but also the Holy Roman Empire.

Besides, who knows if His Highness King Han is a master with high eyesight and low power? Instead of finding a strong horse for King Han, it is better to give him a horse that has been trained and trained a long time ago. At least it is safe, isn't it?

"This king is not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Zhu Song said with a smile: "You can just take me directly."

I thought that the king of Han had never chosen horses, so he should be easy to talk to, but looking at it now, it is not the case at all, even worse than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

But he couldn't afford to offend the one in front of him, and the wry smile on his face didn't disappear, he said: "Your Highness Han, this fire dragon horse is not a Dutch wild horse, it came here by itself. Back then, the young one was happy for its arrival Ruokang, after all, its various abilities far surpass this batch of Dutch Mustangs. But..."

"Let me tell you, my lord." Jones said, "But this horse is too temperamental, not only the horse trainer at the racecourse, but also the best horse trainer from Yingtian Mansion and even Beiping Mansion. But there is still nothing to do with it, and several horse trainers were almost kicked by it until they vomited blood and died."

"So ruthless?" Zhu Song stared, and said, "That's good, this king likes this kind of horse the most!"

"My lord, I don't recommend you to choose this fire dragon horse." Jones continued: "After all, this horse..."

Zhu Song said angrily: "Okay, you two don't sing together here, you are obviously afraid that the king will make some mistakes when taming this horse, and you will be troubled."

The two were exposed by Zhu Song, Jones stopped talking, but Berkeley, after all, he was just a businessman with a small official official position in the Holy Roman Empire. He was terrified to death, and hurriedly begged for mercy:

"Your Highness King Han, don't embarrass the little one. If you make any mistakes here, not only the little one will die, but the whole family of the little one will be wiped out by the monarch of the Holy Roman Empire."

As for?It's just taming a horse!

Shaking his head speechlessly, Zhu Song said to Berkeley: "You just put your heart in your stomach, this king is not that weak scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken."

Well, Berkeley had no choice this time, with a helpless look on his face, he walked slowly towards the racetrack outside.

Chapter 425 Fire Dragon Horse

Berkeley led the crowd to the vast racetrack with a sad face. Because there was the fierce horse named 'Fire Dragon Colt', the fences on the racetrack were generally about ten feet high. Speaking of the jumping power of a horse, even if an Australian kangaroo comes, they can't fucking jump over it.

"His Royal Highness, besides this fierce horse, there are also several female wild horses in this racecourse."

Outside the gate of the racecourse, Berkeley pointed to the fire dragon colt that was coquettishly leading a few horses in the racecourse, having fun in the sun, and continued:

"Because this horse has a violent temper, and all the horses that approached it have been bullied by it, whether it kicked or bitten, so except for the fire dragon foal and a few female wild horses, the entire racetrack has almost become No horse dares to enter this racecourse in their territory."

Zhu Gaochi still couldn't believe that this horse was so powerful. Looking at the fire dragon colt running like a red lightning bolt, Zhu Gaochi said: "I have so many horse trainers in Ming Dynasty, so there is nothing I can do about it?"

"Hey, the little one has already said it before, not to mention the horse trainers in Nanjing City, the little one even hired the best horse trainer from Beiping Prefecture, but they have nothing to do with this fire dragon horse. Method!"

Berkeley shook his head while talking: "There used to be a Mongolian horse trainer who once tamed it, but this horse was in a hurry at that time, and it didn't eat or talk, and the horse neighed like a wolf. The other wild horses in the stables were restless when they heard the neighing, and even started to slam into the stables violently, as if they wanted to come to the fire dragon horse. Seeing this situation, the Mongolian horse trainer had no choice but to give up. up."

"In this way, this fire dragon colt is really the king of horses, and it is almost as good as a bloody horse." Looking at the dragon colt running like a fire under the sky, Zhu Gaochi praised it without hesitation. stand up.

However, Zhu Gaochi also has self-knowledge, it seems that such a strong horse is not something he can tame.

On the side, Zhu Song was also looking at the fire dragon horse:

The horse is nearly ten feet long, and its fiery red mane rises against the wind as it runs. When it trembles, it looks like a cluster of flames. Its four hooves are churning, and its long mane is flying. Carrier pigeons, like petrels flying vigorously in a storm, roared up to the sky, and the loud neighing of the horse resounded through the sky, and several other horses on the racetrack also neighed.

It can't be said that it is the harmony of the harp, but it has an aura that vibrates between the heaven and the earth.

"Good horse!" The more Zhu Song looked at it, the more he liked it, "Berkeley owner, open the racecourse."
