Eight Hundred and Seventieth Six: Northern Overlord (13)

"As for the book club, after careful discussions with Mr. Cheng Cheng, I plan to make it truly open to the outside world, and students from all over the world can 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 by the former Prime Minister Huang Fuxiu. The original purpose was to benefit the poor and poor.

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

Jiang Pengji is now proposing to build a bookstore similar to the Golden Scale Pavilion, and it is expected that all poor scholars in the world will respond one after another.

"Earlier, I said to help people write books. If the parties agree, the samples they left behind will also join 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 this matter is done, Maruzhou will become a sacred place in the hearts of scholars in the world. At that time, she will choose slowly, and she will not worry about not having any available talents.

After saying this, Jiang Pengji began to order people.

Qi Guanrang and Feng Zhen went to Chongzhou, Yang Si went to Hu County, Xu Ke and Feng Jin stayed behind to manage Wanzhou.

Liu She promised to retreat behind the scenes and hand over all the rights to Jiang Pengji, but whether she can completely subdue Chongzhou depends on her ability.

Qi Guanrang is from Chongzhou, he is very familiar with the situation there, Feng Zhen looks unreliable, but actually has a lot of tricks.

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

The local gentry in Hu County have all been beaten by Liu She, and the difficulty of recovering is relatively small, and Yang Si can handle it alone.

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

After talking about [Governance], let's talk about [Growing Fields].

Since ancient times, soldiers and horses have not moved, and food and grass have gone first.

Only with sufficient food and grass can we have the confidence to fight.

Jiang Pengji said, "Targeting has achieved initial results. Zixiao left me a lot of suggestions before going to Beijing, and I think it is feasible. I plan to open up wasteland and fertile land in Chongzhou and farm on a large scale. In this way, it will not only relieve the pressure on food and grass, but also Can shorten the length of the grain line."

Regarding the farming in Chongzhou, Qi Guanrang and Fengzhen had already heard Wei Ci's talk, so naturally they had no opinion.

The others secretly calculated an account and also agreed with this proposal.

If they don't farm, they simply can't afford to support such a large army.

After many recruitments, Maru Prefecture has 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the size of the women's battalion has also expanded to 7,000.

This is also the result of Jiang Pengji intentionally raising the threshold.

If the comers are not rejected, the force can reach more than 100,000.

In Dongqing, Jiang Pengji was the well-deserved overlord of the north.

Li Yun asked, "Where in Chongzhou is there any unclaimed land that can be reclaimed?"

Because of excessive land mergers, many lands are privately owned by wealthy families.

This time, the scale of farming 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 then."

The location of the village can only be decided after the field investigation.

If the local tyrants are smarter, she doesn't mind cooperation for a win-win situation. If she doesn't know each other, she can only "take it by accident".

Wei Ci was originally in charge of the farming.

However, Wei Ci has already gone to Shangjing to oversee the construction of the state capital, and now the division//, and body are exhausted.

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

Li Yun happily complied.

There were so many details about the farming, Jiang Pengji shifted the topic to [military training].

Speaking of military training, a group of sleepy generals seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and they were full of energy one by one.

Jiang Pengji asked them one by one about the progress of their training of recruits, and the replies she got were satisfactory.

"Five years at the latest, we will go to war with Northern Xinjiang." Jiang Pengji started the conversation, and the generals couldn't help but stretch their ears, listening attentively, for fear of missing a word, "The strength of the northern Xinjiang cavalry is well known to everyone. .They are quick in action and flexible in mobilizing troops, but they also have obvious disadvantages. I plan to address this disadvantage,

An army specially trained to restrain cavalry. I have also suggested it before, but the training scale is too small and the effect is not great. Now we must truly implement the point and formally divide the arms! "

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

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

First, the defense is not strong.

Second, the types of arms are too single, and once you encounter a specially restrained type of arms, there is almost no room for turning around.

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

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

There are not only military formations, military types, defensive equipment, but also more sinister traps.

Everyone turned back a page of the booklet in their hands, their spines felt cold, 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 for a while, and couldn't help but sweat for the northern Xinjiang cavalry.

Let's talk about the military formation first. The simple fish-scale formation is drawn on the brochure, and the hoplites hold shields and spears to form a square formation similar to fish scales. Jiang Pengji sneaked into Jiamen Pass with more than a hundred soldiers to break out of the encirclement, and the army formation she used could be regarded as a small fish-scale formation.

However, most of the cavalry in northern Xinjiang are light cavalry in civilian clothes or wearing rattan armor, and they are extremely mobile.

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

There is also the long spear array that everyone is familiar with.

The advantages of the Long Spear Formation are obvious, but the disadvantages are equally obvious.

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

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

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

Jiang Pengji's first parts all used improved crossbows, and over the years she has developed many ways to cooperate with them, which are quite sharp.

In addition to improved crossbows, 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 Xinjiang cavalry.

In addition to these, there are other "little gadgets", such as refusal carbine guns and barbed wire.

The refusal carbine can be arrayed in front of the army, stabbing the charging horses into blood and blood, and preventing the cavalry from charging.

There are four sides of caltrops, no matter how they are placed, there will always be one thorn facing upwards. Sprinkle it on the way of the enemy's charge on a large scale, and then cover it with vegetation. If the horse stepped on it, the thorns of the caltrops would dig into the horse's hoof, almost crippling the horse.

On the brochure, everyone also saw two novel weapons.

One is shaped like a sickle and is specially used to cut horse legs, and the other is thick and mighty, named the horse-cutting knife.

Jiang Pengji plans to train special operations troops, the number is about 5,000, specially training their war horses for northern Xinjiang.

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

Without horses, they are tigers with their teeth pulled out, nothing to fear.
