"Regarding the book club, after careful discussion with Mr. Cheng Cheng, I plan to open it up to the outside world and allow students from all over the world to enter."

Jiang Pengji said this because there was a similar "library" in the previous dynasty, called the Golden Scale Pavilion.

The Golden Scale Pavilion was proposed to be built by the former Prime Minister Huangfu Xiu, and the original purpose was to benefit the poor people in the world.

However, since Prime Minister Huangfu died and was boiled by others, the Golden Scale Pavilion has become a place where the nobles are only eligible to enter.

Jiang Pengji is now proposing to build a book club similar to the Golden Scale Pavilion.

"Earlier I said to help people write books and create works. If the parties agree, the samples they leave will also be added to the book club. Or, we can open up such a place for people to exchange and discuss." Jiang Pengji is sure that if these three Once the matter is done, Maruzhou will become a holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world. At that time, she will choose slowly, not worrying about the lack of available talents.

After saying this, Jiang Pengji started to order people.

Qi Guanrang and Fengzhen went to Chongzhou, Yang Si went to Hu County, Xu Ke and Fengjin stayed behind to govern Wanzhou.

Liu She promised to step back behind the scenes and hand over all rights to Jiang Pengji, but whether she could completely subdue Chongzhou depended on her ability.

Qi Guanrang was from Chongzhou. He was very familiar with the situation there. Feng Zhen looked unreliable, but in fact he had a lot of thieves.

When these two join forces, it is difficult for others to take advantage of them.

The local nobility in Hu County had been beaten by Liu She, and it was relatively difficult to recover. Yang Si could handle it alone.

Xu Ke and Feng Jin cooperated tacitly and let them stay at the base camp, Jiang Pengji was very relieved.

After talking about [governance], let’s talk about [Tuntian].

Since ancient times, the troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass will go first.

With sufficient food and grass, we can have confidence in fighting.

Jiang Pengji said, "The first results have been achieved in the cultivation of fields. Zixiao left me a lot of suggestions before going to Beijing. I think it is feasible. I plan to open up wasteland and cultivated fields in Chongzhou and cultivate large-scale fields. In this way, it can not only relieve the pressure of grain and grass, but also It can shorten the length of the grain line.”

Qi Guanrang and Fengzhen had already listened to Wei Ci about the matter of the Chongzhou settlement, so naturally they had no opinion.

Others made a secret calculation and also agreed with the proposal.

If they didn't settle the fields, they simply couldn't support such a large-scale army.

After many recruitments, Maruzhou has 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the size of the female battalion has also expanded to 7,000.

This is also the result of Jiang Pengji's intentional raising of the threshold.

If the comers do not refuse, the troops can reach more than 100,000.

In Dongqing territory, Jiang Pengji is a well-deserved northern hegemon.

Li Yun asked, "I don't know where in Chongzhou there are unowned barren fields that can be reclaimed?"

Because of excessive land mergers, many lands are private property of wealthy families.

This time, the scale of the farmland should be quite large. If there is not enough land, I am afraid it will not work.

Jiang Pengji smiled contemptuously, "We'll talk about it later."

The location of the Tuntian can only be decided after a field visit.

If the local tyrants are smarter, she doesn't mind win-win cooperation.

Wei Ci was originally in charge of the field.

However, Wei Ci had already gone to Shangjing to supervise the construction of the prefecture, and now he has no skills.

Jiang Pengji thought for a while, then named Li Yun and asked him to part-time Chongzhou Diannong school captain to take care of this matter.

Li Yun happily responded.

There are only so many details of the field, Jiang Pengji shifted the topic to [training].

When it comes to training, all the sullen military generals seem to have been beaten by chicken blood, and they are full of energy one by one.

Jiang Pengji inquired about the progress of their training of recruits one by one, and the replies were satisfactory.

"In five years at the latest, we will go to war with the northern Xinjiang." Jiang Pengji opened the chat box, and the generals could not help but open their ears and listened attentively, for fear of missing a word, "The strength of the cavalry in the northern Xinjiang is clear to everyone who wants to come here. They are fast and flexible, but they also have obvious disadvantages. I plan to focus on this disadvantage and train troops to restrain cavalry. I have proposed before, but the training scale is too small and the effect is not great. Really implement the real implementation and officially divide the arms!"

Northern Xinjiang relies too much on cavalry, and the arms are very single.

Their speed is indeed very fast, but not invincible, they also have a fatal weakness.

First, the defense is not strong.

Second, the arms are too single, and once encountering a specially restrained arm, there is almost no place to turn around.

Jiang Pengji intends to formally divide the arms and increase the diversification of arms in the army, which will also make battlefield dispatch and command more flexible.

In order to restrain the cavalry, Jiang Pengji conceived many targeted plans.

There are both military formations, military types, defensive equipment and more insidious traps.

Everyone turned back the booklet in their hands, and suddenly their backs froze, and there was only one thought in their hearts—

How difficult is it for the lord and the cavalry

Looking at what Jiang Pengji wrote, they imagined it a little, and couldn't help breaking a cold sweat for the Northern Xinjiang cavalry.

Let's talk about the army first. The booklet draws a simple fish-scale formation. The hoplites are armed with shields and spears to form a square formation similar to fish-scales. Jiang Pengji had sneaked into Jiamen Pass with more than 100 soldiers to break out, and the military formation used could be regarded as a small fish scale formation.

However, most of the northern cavalry were light cavalry in commoner clothes or wearing rattan armor, and they were extremely mobile.

If the enemy is not surrounded, this kind of fish scale array is not very effective.

There is also the long spear formation that everyone is more familiar with.

The advantages of the spear array are obvious, and the weaknesses are equally significant.

However, Jiang Pengji previously proposed division of arms, and then let different arms cooperate to make up for each other's shortcomings.

In this way, this spear formation is not without merit.

Speaking of the army formation, there are also ferocious crossbowmen who used the improved crossbow that Jiang Pengji had improved several times before.

Jiang Pengji's original episodes all used improved crossbows, and over the years, he has also developed many ways to cooperate in combat, which are quite sharp.

In addition to the improved crossbow, there are also bed crossbows in the army.

It has a long range, great power and strong lethality, which can cause huge damage to the charging northern cavalry.

In addition to these, there are other "gadgets", such as carbine guns and caltrops.

The horse-rejecting guns can line up in front of the army, stab the charging horses into blood, and block the cavalry charge.

The caltrop has four sides, and no matter how you visit it, one thorn will point upwards. Large-scale sprinkled on the road of the enemy's charge, and then slightly covered with vegetation. If the horse is stepped on, the thorns of the caltrops will pierce the horse's hoof, almost abolishing the horse.

On the booklet, everyone also saw two novel weapons.

A sickle-shaped, specially used for chopping horse legs, a heavy and mighty, named saber.

Jiang Pengji planned to train special operations troops, about 5,000 in number, to train them to target warhorses in the northern Xinjiang.

Compared with the ability to fight on horseback, the northern cavalry is not strong in infantry warfare.

Without the horse, they are tigers with their teeth pulled out, nothing to be afraid of.
