After saying that, Chu Yang gave Liu Bowen a look and walked down the high platform towards the outside of the drill ground. Liu Bowen also quickly followed after him.
Seeing that Chu Yang had finished speaking, Zhao Feng took a step forward and said to the crowd," You must have heard what the lord has said. Therefore, I hope that you will be more diligent in teaching in the next half a year. Do you understand?!”
"We understand. As long as we don't die from training, I'll train to the death.”
"Hahaha…that's right. Just thinking about going to war with the Tartars in half a year makes me very excited.”
“……”
The soldiers laughed.
"Then what are you still doing here? Hurry up and go train!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
After the 50,000-strong army had dispersed, Zhao Feng hurriedly walked towards Chu Yang's direction.
Chu Yang, Liu Bowen, Zhuge Yu, Zhao Feng, and Zhang Chuan were sitting in a wooden house.
Chu Yang looked at the crowd with a serious expression and said," You've heard what I said just now. In half a year's time, we will openly declare war on the Mengyuan Imperial Court. At that time, with the Tartars 'personality, they will definitely send their main forces to deal with us. At that time, we may have to face 200,000, 300,000, or even millions of Tartars. Although these 50,000 troops are indeed an elite army, it is far from enough.”
Hearing this, everyone's expression became serious. Although they didn't want to admit it, this was the truth. If the Tartars really wanted to destroy them, they would have to face at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers. They had to be on guard.
"My lord, please rest assured. We will recruit more troops as soon as possible. When the time comes, we will have the confidence to fight against the Tartars.”Zhuge Yu said seriously.
"Although we are confident that we can quickly recruit an army of 200,000, we might not be able to afford it!”Zhao Feng said with some difficulty.
"That's right, we have indeed saved up a million taels of silver over the years, but it's still far from enough to raise an army of 250,000!”Zhang Chuan said gloomily.
"Silver…"
Chu Yang muttered softly upon hearing this. He also knew that in war, it was all about who had more money.
If you don't have money, how can you support an army?
Without money, where would they get food?
Without money, where would they get warhorses, weapons, and armaments?
Chu Yang gritted his teeth and said firmly," Don't worry, everyone. From tomorrow onwards, we will continue to recruit troops in secret. I will think of a way to get the money. I still have a few hundred thousand taels of silver here. I will get a batch of silver for you very soon.”
"Oh? What can my lord do?" Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Chu Yang's words.
"Why do you care? As long as I can get you some silver." Chu Yang glared at them and said in a bad mood.
"Everyone, there is no need to be anxious. We still have more than one million taels of silver. In addition to the lord's hundreds of thousands of taels, we have about two million taels of silver. It should be enough for a period of time. In two days, I plan to go out for a walk. Back then, I had a chance encounter with the richest man in the world, Shen Wansan. I want to see if I can get some silver from him.”Liu Bowen suddenly chuckled.
"Shen Wansan?"
Chu Yang was delighted when he heard this. That's right. This was the richest man in the world during this period. In the original trajectory of fate, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to seize the world because of him. If it wasn't for Shen Wansan who had been supporting Zhu Yuanzhang with silver, where would Zhu Yuanzhang have the money to conquer the world?
Moreover, there were records in unofficial history that Shen Wansan and Zhu Yuanzhang had known each other since they were young, and they had even met a mysterious Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest had once divined that one of them had the fate of an emperor, and the other would become a wealthy businessman in the future. It was rumored that Shen Wansan had a strange object in his hands, a treasure bowl that would produce gold ingots every day. However, he did not know if this was true or not.
Moreover, unofficial history had recorded that the Taoist priest seemed to be Liu Bowen.
Thinking of this, Chu Yang couldn't help but look at Liu Bowen suspiciously. Could it be that all the records in unofficial history were true?
Moreover, it was unknown if Shen Wansan had already started to sponsor Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhang Chuan and the others heard Liu Bowen's words, their faces lit up. They naturally knew that Shen Wansan was the richest man in the world. He was a businessman whose wealth could rival a country. With his financial support, they could afford to support a mere 200,000 soldiers even if they had 200,000 more.
"In that case, Mister Bowen can go and try. If you can't borrow it, it's fine.”
Chu Yang said to Liu Bowen after a moment of silence.
In his opinion, if Shen Wansan really knew Zhu Yuanzhang when he was young, it would not be so easy to borrow money.
However, it did not matter. If Shen Wansan supported Zhu Yuanzhang and refused to support him, he would have to deal with the two of them after he took control of the Ming Cult.
Moreover, if Chu Yang really did not care about the consequences, it was not as if he could not get a large amount of silver.
Don't forget, he had the system warehouse. In the real world, his mother controlled a group worth tens of billions of dollars and had many other industries in the dark.
If he needed it, he could borrow his mother's hand to buy ten billion yuan worth of gold and bring it to this world.
According to the current market price of gold, ten billion gold was probably more than one million taels. It was enough for his 250,000 troops to use for quite some time.
However, if he really did that, he would not know how to explain it to his parents. Therefore, he would definitely not do it unless he had no other choice.
"If there's really no other way, I can just rob the rich and help the poor. In any case, the world is in such chaos now, and there are many rich and heartless merchants and officials. I'll just treat it as helping the rebel army.”Chu Yang secretly swore in his heart.
Eh? Something was wrong!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed across Chu Yang's mind. This world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre seemed to be connected to the Divine Condor World.
He remembered that the original novel once said that when Xiangyang City fell, Guo Jing left behind many weapons, armor, gold, and silver. Later, these things were moved to the ancient tomb by Yang Guo. Presumably, those things should still be stored in the ancient tomb, right?
If they could get their hands on that batch of weapons and silver, the cost of the 250,000 soldiers would be more or less enough.
