The Northern Song Dynasty lacked war horses, why didn t Eastern Wu lack them?

Song Taizong Yongxi also has 170,000 war horses. This is historically documented. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da went on the Northern Expedition, and there were not so many military horses in the army. In the early Song Dynasty, Western Xia was not established, and war horses could be obtained from Hexi and Tubo. To put it bluntly, my own level is not good.

The army that wins the battle lacks nothing, but the army that defeats the war has everything. Fighting a war is like you taking your brother out to rob, hundreds of thousands of strong guys go out with knives and guns to smash and loot casually, and they starve to death, don't you say it's unusual?

The Northern Song Dynasty lacked war horses because they were poor, and then they played Ma Zheng by themselves.

Danyang, near Nanjing, is the only horse-producing area in Chinese mainland, so there is no shortage of horses in Eastern Wu.

The excellent horses in the northwest region (Hexi, Hehuang) will not be able to fight in the south as soon as they arrive, there are many mosquitoes that are not easy to raise, they are not good at death, and the survival rate of the foals born is not high. This has a lot to do with climate geography. No way!

The trouble-relieving army of Soochow was Sun Quan's building boat and went by sea to buy a horse from Gongsun's family.

Yue Fei doesn't know if there is a shortage of horses and manual funny.

The only time Eastern Wu took the initiative to attack Cao Wei was defeated, and the Eastern Wu against Cao Wei mainly relied on the Yangtze River natural danger to defend ......

Who said that there is no shortage of war horses in Soochow.

In "Copying Chinese History".

In the lesson 11 of Book 1, "The Social Landscape of the Song Dynasty", students question: Why did the people of the Song Dynasty lack horses and use ox carts and donkey carts? Because according to common sense, horses should be the main means of transportation.

After consulting a large number of materials, it was found that there were two reasons for the lack of horses in the Song Dynasty: first, the geographical location of the Song Dynasty. Ancient Chinese horses mainly grew in the relatively cold northwest and northeast regions, and the territory of the Song Dynasty was mainly in the south of China, where the climate was warm and humid, which was not suitable for the growth of horses.

Second, during the Song Dynasty, there was constant friction with the surrounding minority regimes, and most of the horses exchanged for the border went to the battlefield, or even "sacrificed" on the battlefield. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, people mostly used ox carts and donkey carts, and horses and carriages were rarely seen in the market.

Probably family planning was given to horses.

The war horses of Soochow were purchased from the sea to Liaodong.

That is, it was purchased from the four generations of monarchs of Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong, and Gongsun Yuan.

Later, he was able to breed some by himself, but he was also choked by Gongsun Yuan.

There was no horse farm on the territory of the Song Dynasty. The land of horses in the west was occupied by Tubo and Western Xia, and the north was pressed by Liaojin, and the land of the Central Plains was mostly farmland, and the horse farmers were not happy.

There were contradictions between the Song and Western Xia and other border countries, and it was natural that there was a shortage of horses.

Raising horses, especially war horses, requires high-quality grasslands. In Chinese history, the northern horse can become an excellent war horse, while the southern horse can basically only be used as a pack horse.

Traditional horse breeding grounds include: Longyou, Hetao and Yanyun. During the Song Dynasty, Yanyun was in the hands of the Liao State, while Longyou Hetao was in the hands of the Western Xia.

Most of the Song army's war horses came from the trade with Western Xia and Tibet, as well as the tribute of the two countries.
