Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

While someone was shouting loudly, Chu Mufeng was quickly taking notes. He didn't write down some of the words on the spot, afraid that he would forget them later.

Although the number of messages sent to the capital has decreased in recent years, and even fewer so-called family letters have been sent to them from the capital, things are different now. Meng Changqing now has the military tally, and it seems that the emperor has picked Meng Changqing up from behind.

A few days ago, I received a message asking him to send more letters home.

Of the more than two hundred people present, how many were actually swayed by Meng Changqing's words?
not much.

But why are you cooperating so much and shouting along with her?
It's just a couple of shouts, it doesn't require much effort, so there's no need to offend this official.

After shouting, Meng Changqing left. Some people in the crowd even whispered, "What did those words we just shouted mean?"

Do not understand.

It's okay if you don't understand now; you'll understand someday.

If they never understand until they die, that doesn't matter, because they are here, and they are already fulfilling that promise.

That evening, Meng Changqing talked to them about the general direction, but to truly protect the country, they also needed to implement it in various trivial training tasks.

The first thing is to improve physical fitness.

Xi Bei and others will take charge of this.

When you first enter the army camp, don't think about practicing swordsmanship. In the early stages, you'll mainly do basic training such as running, climbing, and weightlifting. Once you reach a certain level, you'll be trained to cooperate with each other and develop special formations to deal with the Yan people.

Meng Changqing wasn't stupid. Since she couldn't win one-on-one, she decided to go for a five-on-one fight.

On the battlefield, five people form a group to deal with the enemy.

This tactic was devised by Meng Changqing based on his previous experience fighting enemies with the Meng family army. Among the five men, one had to be skilled with a knife, another with a spear, and yet another with a shield.

As for whether her proposed tactics are feasible, we'll only know once we're on the battlefield and actually facing the Yan army.

But before that, they can also conduct combat training in the camp to predict the effect on the battlefield in the future.

That night, lying in bed, Meng Changqing was still mentally rehearsing how the five of them could coordinate to be the most efficient. As she thought about it, she realized how great it would be to have rifles.

If the enemy's cold weapons were to clash with the Liang's firearms, then forget about reclaiming Tuozhou, they might even be able to flatten the Yan state.

Such a scene can only be imagined while sleeping.

I wonder to what extent Chen Xingqi and his group have developed gunpowder; it would be great if it could be made more convenient and safer to use.

Meng Changqing's thoughts wandered further and further, and at one point he got so excited that he almost got up and went for a walk.

In the end, to calm himself down, Meng Changqing thought about some practical matters.

Thinking of the defense system of Maotang City, the moat to be dug, and the city walls to be built, Meng Changqing sighed deeply.

The two hundred-plus people who came today must complete their initial training within twenty days and be stationed in Maotang City. Once there, they will have to train and work at the same time.

The harsh reality was disheartening, and Meng Changqing immediately fell asleep.

The next morning, before heading to Maotang City, Meng Changqing made a special detour to the row of houses to take a look at the new recruits' training.

Seeing that no one had fallen behind and that everyone was following orders as much as possible, Meng Changqing felt that there was still hope for the future.

Just as she turned her horse around to leave, Xi Bei called out to her.

Xi Bei handed over the recruit training to Qian Deming and quickly ran towards Meng Changqing. As soon as she got there, she grabbed the reins in Meng Changqing's hand and asked, "Where are you going on horseback?"

"I have something to do outside." Meng Changqing felt guilty thinking about what he had promised Xi Bei.

“I’m asking you, where are you going!” Xi Bei said sternly.

"Spear City," Meng Changqing chuckled, "I came here specifically to tell you." (End of Chapter)
