The source of horse fever is transmitted by insects, mosquitoes and flies, and the body constitution of the host directly affects the length of the incubation period.
In northern Xinjiang, celestial burial is respected, and the corpses of sweaty horses are allowed to rot on the ground and used as food by mosquitoes, insects, birds and beasts.
The horse farm was not a clean place, nor did the slaves have any protection against the little flies and insects.
It is conceivable how terrifying this horse plague will really be when it spreads.
The Beijiang Imperial Court was deceived by the horse dealers of Chalan Kingdom with a huge fortune of 10 million yuan. Fortunately, all the mares have been bred, and more than a thousand mares were found to be pregnant successfully one after another, barely recovering some losses, otherwise the Beijiang Emperor This time, the court is really going to lose his crotch at a loss.
But the bad luck didn't end there.
About half a month later, the previously pregnant mare had a high fever, her whole body seemed to be swollen, her breathing was like a cow's panting, and she occasionally coughed violently. Obviously seriously ill.
The slave taking care of the pregnant horse took three steps and took two steps in fright, and hurriedly reported the matter.
The slave trembled, his body trembled like a sieve, and he kept begging for mercy, for fear that he would also be dealt with in secret.
"Could it be that the disease on the mare was caused by those sweaty horses?"
The owner of the horse farm looked gloomy. The mare was lying on the floor of the stable, her breath was heavy, but her body seemed to be drenched in water. "Can it be saved?"
The racecourse veterinarian grimaced and shook his head feebly.
Common minor illnesses can be cured, but such a terminal illness is really powerless.
The owner of the racecourse clenched his back molars secretly, and his eyes seemed to be able to shoot out venom that saw blood seal his throat.
The previous sweaty BMW has lost too much money. Fortunately, the probability of conception of the mares is still high. If the delivery goes smoothly, the losses on the northern side can be evened out. After breeding and breeding for three or five years, they will be trained into powerful war horses. , the previous losses can be multiplied back.
now what
The pregnant horse, who was cared for like gold, fell ill, and the condition was so severe that the veterinarian was powerless.
When the mare dies, the foetus in the womb cannot be kept, and once the mares with good bloodlines and the more potential foals are lost.
Thinking of this loss, the heart of the owner of the horse farm is broken.
Before he could recover from the blow, slaves in another area came back and reported that another pregnant horse was seriously ill.
"what-"
The world was spinning, and the voice of the owner of the racecourse was distorted.
It took him a while to resist the urge to roar and throw things, and quickly said to the veterinarian, "Go and have a look!"
It's the same disease again!
Seeing the second sick mare, the owner of the ranch sank and said quickly, "Check all pregnant horses."
Obviously, the disease on the sweaty BMW has already spread to these mares. If it was discovered early, it might be saved.
However, the symptoms during the incubation period of this horse sickness are mild, and at most, they are in poor spirits. The mood of the pregnant horse itself is not high, so it is really difficult to judge. In the end, the veterinarian still found five sick horses with some symptoms and were urgently isolated from the horse farm.
This incident once again alarmed the entire northern imperial court. The king of the northern imperial court was roaring and angry, and the people below silently endured the opponent's saliva attack. The "wise man" Wu Liba was rejected by the king of northern Xinjiang some time ago because of his opposition to extravagance. Refrigerated for almost a year.
The King of Northern Xinjiang can indeed listen to his advice and have ambitions, but he is still a man of Northern Xinjiang at heart, and he advocates force even more.
He is also very disdainful of the people who Wulipa talks about and the big truth. What's so powerful about his lip service, plus he likes to enjoy and extravagant temperament, Wuliba opposes the extravagance of the nobles in northern Xinjiang Controlling his usual behavior
For the past year, Wu Liba has been treated coldly by the King of Northern Xinjiang, and he will be reprimanded from time to time.
However, the king of Northern Xinjiang was still in his head, and he didn't do too much, he just let Wu Liba relax from his work.
Now facing these crises, he thinks of this good helper again.
"Does Aiqing have a plan?"
Wu Liba thought for a while, then said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to be cruel and abandon those pregnant horses!"
When the King of Northern Xinjiang heard this, he almost fell over in anger.
He asked sincerely, did the other party give such a bad idea
Abandon all pregnant horses
Why don't you go to heaven on a horse
The sweaty BMW bought by Shalan Kingdom has lost 10 million qian, and those mares are also the best war horses of the northern bloodline. , The total number of mares that have been successfully conceived exceeds one thousand and five, and there are two or three thousand mares who are not pregnant. If these mares who have been touched by sweaty BMWs are slaughtered, the loss is so great that it is heart-wrenching!
"roll-"
Panting, the King of Northern Xinjiang was so angry that he grabbed what was at hand and threw it at Wu Liba.
What kind of bad idea is this
The nineteen horses of sweat and blood have cost them tens of millions of dollars, and the price of those mares is also 40 to 50 million, plus the foals of the horses of sweat and blood in their stomachs, if they are all abandoned, the three tribes in the northern Xinjiang will be lost. This time, I will lose 70 to 80 million pieces!
Which mare can stay as a breeding horse, which one is not the best
Now that they are all killed, how many elites will the war horses in the northern Xinjiang lose
Wu Liba was smashed upright, and his neatly combed small braids became messy. He didn't say a word, and bowed and stepped back in silence.
He also knew why the King of the Imperial Court was so angry, the loss was too great.
But he has a hunch that if he doesn't do this, he may suffer even greater losses in the future.
It's just that the King of the Imperial Court will not agree to his suggestion, and the horse farm owners of the major racecourses will not agree.
The king of Northern Xinjiang asked the horse farm to block the news, so as not to shake the determination of the warriors of Northern Xinjiang to fight. On the one hand, he urged people to get rid of sick horses, treat them, and recover as many losses as they could... After a while, his hair turned white. few.
It's just that the insects and flies that ate the carcass of sick horses had spread, and it would be difficult to suppress them.
Of the sick horses, nine out of ten died of the disease, and the remaining one survived, and the foal in its belly also died in its belly.
This bad news is far from over, not only the pregnant horses are showing signs of illness, but even the foals in the racecourse have problems.
In those few days, the Northern Xinjiang horse farm was full of turmoil, and the Northern Xinjiang imperial court was filled with all kinds of roars and angry roars from the king.
The racecourse was heavily guarded, and there was no wind at all.
The spies sent by Jiang Pengji did not find out the specific situation in the racecourse, but for her, this information was enough.
"The Beijiang Imperial Court has suffered a big loss this time." Jiang Pengji smiled and handed the bamboo slip to Wei Ci, so that he could read it and pass it on to others, "Not only do I have to lose the crotch, but maybe even the wealth accumulated by my ancestors. Pay for it."
