After confirming that this new plow truck was valuable, Marin rewarded Prader with 1,000 gold coins. Then, together with Prader, improved the plow truck.
Of course, there is no need to change other places. Marin just changed the wheels of the plow truck to wheels with cage-mounted ball bearings. In this way, the resistance will be even smaller when the plow truck moves forward. After testing, the plow truck can plow 33 acres every day with 12 horsepower. The reason why it is only improved is that the plow truck originally drove a large horsepower and ignored a lot of resistance. If it is pulled by a single horse, the lift may be larger. However, the curved plow used by a single horse cannot use the wheel at all...
Later, Malin tried to use multiple oxen to drive this plow truck to cultivate the land. However, the experiment was not effective. As a result, 12 oxen were used to pull the plow truck, and only 15 acres of land were cultivated every day, which was similar to the efficiency of a hand-held tractor.
But Marin could clearly see that this was not because the ox was not as strong as the ox, but because the ox walked slowly and could not increase its speed. Therefore, when the 12 ox head came to pull the plow, although the strength was enough or even overflowed, the old ox was just that fast and could not get up.
However, after Prade reduced the number of cattle to 6, he found that the cows were still fine to pull the plow truck. He still cultivated 15 acres of land a day, which shows that the strength of the cattle is indeed greater than that of the horse.
However, from the perspective of efficiency, it is more cost-effective to use a horse-type with Eastern European Mongolian horses to cultivate the land. Because Eastern European Mongolian horses, like cattle, usually eat grass, which is more cost-effective.
However, in the subtropical and tropical paddy fields, horses are not good at planting rice. Many horses are very unsuitable for plowing land. At this time, it is better to plow oxen.
However, not all cattle are suitable for paddy fields. The one that is most suitable for paddy fields is water buffalo, or Indian knot cattle or something.
Fortunately, people in Beihai basically use wheat cereals as their staple food, and there is little demand for rice. Therefore, the current Beihai colonies are enough to adapt to the tropical climate.
...
So, Marin began a plan to introduce horses from the Eastern European prairie on a large scale. Through understanding, Marin discovered that the largest number of animals on the Eastern European prairie were sheep. The second most common one was not cattle, but horses!
Because nomads prefer to eat mutton when eating meat. However, they are used to drinking horse milk rather than cow milk.
Therefore, on the Eastern European prairie, the number of horses is much larger than that of cattle. Even they raise cattle to trade with farming people, or some noble people like to eat beef.
Just like the current Crimean Khanate, raising cattle was originally a small industry. But since they had Malin's order, they began to raise cattle on a large scale.
But in terms of the number of animals, their number of horses is much higher than that of cattle. Mongolian horses are already resistant to cold and rough feeding, even the same is true for mixed-race breeds in Eastern Europe.
Moreover, although the price sold to Marin by the Crimean Khanate is 20 gold coins per war horse, 2.5 times that of a cow. However, war horses stand out from a large herd of ordinary horses. In Crimea, slow horses are much more than war horses. The price of slow horses is similar to that of a cow, and it is not expensive at all.
So, Marin decided to introduce large quantities of mares from the Crimean Khanate. Then, he was breeding with horse stallions in Western Europe to cultivate new horses that usually eat grass and are suitable for pulling carts. Even if they are not big, it is cost-effective just from the perspective of feeding costs.
Besides, Marin didn't have to spend too much real money to buy horses in Crimea. As long as he made a lot of liquor, he could exchange enough Eastern European and Mongolian horses from the Crimean Khanate, which was more convenient than buying cows.

After several days of preparation, the civilians recruited by Duolao George finally piled the four gates of Kechkemet in the city with soil and stones, making it impossible for the people in the city to leave the city. In addition, many trenches were dug out outside the city. Even if the defenders in the city broke through the city gate, they would be blocked by the trenches if they wanted to rush out.
At this time, Duolao George could finally face the Hungarian government army from the north with confidence. Then, he received a letter of war from the government army:
"Our army will fight your army at 4 rig (about 19.3 kilometers) north of Kechkemet City at 9 a.m. on July 22. Please be prepared for the battle."
"Also, if you can surrender to His Majesty the King before the war begins, the entire army can be exempted from death, and at most exiled. Once the war begins and then defeats the war, those who surrender in time on the battlefield can also be exempted from death. However, some senior commanders may find it difficult to forgive, so it is best for you to lead your troops to surrender before the war begins. We will ensure the safety of the lives of all the people in your army!"
...
This letter of war has two main functions. One is to make an appointment for the place and time of the war. The other is to tell the rebels that they can avoid death if they surrender. Even if they surrender in the last battle, most of them will be exempted from death...
The reason I told the other party this was because I was afraid that the other party would fight to the death. As a result, there were not many prisoners of war after the war. In that case, where would they go to capture the prisoners? You know, these prisoners are very valuable...
In fact, this war letter has another purpose, which is to cover up the real killer weapon of the official army...
What is the killer weapon of the official army? Of course, it is to drug the war horses of the cavalry of the rebel army! If the war horses of the enemy cavalry have diarrhea, then they will still be furious? The reason why the war starts at 9 am, not earlier is to leave time for the rebel army to feed the war horses in the morning. Otherwise, how could the war horses of the rebel army not eat the feed with added feed?
...
As expected, early in the morning of July 22, the soldiers of the uprising army got up to make breakfast. At the same time, the person in charge of the logistics department also distributed the day's horse feed to the cavalry under the command of the quartermaster Bernardon, feed with croton flour to the cavalry.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that the cavalry began to feed the horses with added feed, the chubby Benardon wiped the cold sweat from his head, and then quietly walked towards the south gate of the camp gate. There were several horses he had prepared, and the horses that did not eat the added feed...
When the rebel army began to take turns to the agreed battlefield from the north gate of the camp, Benayon had already brought a few confidants and followed the spy Zahavi, who had been infiltrated, and rode a horse from the south gate in the chaos...
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, the rebels' war horses that ate feed with croton flour suddenly began to get diarrhea, frightening the rebel leader Duolao George.
Duolao George's horse and the hundreds of his guards' horses were not caught, because one of their horses was managed and fed by Duolao George's confidant, which was not the same as the feed supply of most of the horses. Unfortunately, their number of horses was too small, only more than 200.
Most of the more than 40,000 war horses of the 30,000 Hussars were hit. Only a few of them were hit because they were not added enough croton flour.
However, this is useless. Because, the war horses that survived were only 7,000...
This is not the worst, the worst is that most of the war horses have diarrhea, which seriously affected the morale of the rebel army. Before the battle started, the morale of the rebel army fell to the bottom...
...
But the official army responsible for suppression will not give the rebels a chance. Just when the rebels were in chaos due to diarrhea and lost their combat effectiveness, the 5,000 Polish winged cavalry and 5,000 Cossack cavalry of the official army launched a charge on time at 9 o'clock...
Faced with the tens of thousands of cavalry rushing over, the loss of most of the cavalry and the peasant uprising army, which had a low morale, was about to collapse.
At the same time, tens of thousands of official cavalrymen who were charging on the battlefield suddenly shouted neatly in unskilled Hungarian:
"Surrender and not kill!"
"Surrender and not kill!"
"Surrender and not kill!"
