As expected, Yang Mubo was very trustworthy. The next day, he delivered the promised items to Liu Zhao Mountain. Zhu Bomu, who had received the supplies, also passed the items he had previously discussed to Yang Mubo.
When Yang Mubo saw the 50 Dian horses, a cart of leather armor, and a long bow, he was stunned.
He originally thought that Zhu Bomu would take a few days to transfer the things over. He did not expect Zhu Bomu to be faster than him.
The weapons here were enough to equip more than 300 people. With Yang Mubo's own direct line of descent and some soldiers, it would not be a problem to pull out 500 elites.
This was only in the barren southeastern Yunnan. If it was in the north, they would be embarrassed to call themselves elites without three layers of armor.
"Brother Li Yuan, don't worry. When I take down Dong 'an Li, I'll definitely give you a big gift!”Yang Mubo cupped his fists at the entrance of the city.
"Hehe, I don't care about the gifts, but I'm curious. Lord Yang, if you casually attack Dong 'an Li, won't the magistrate of Tranquil Peace Hall blame you?”
Zhu Bomu asked curiously. After all, even if the Qing court declined in Southeast Yunnan, it should be able to control a small Jiang 'na, right?
Facing Zhu Bomu's curiosity, Yang Mubo sneered,"Qinggou can't even take care of himself. I heard that Sichuan and Shaanxi are being threatened by the Mongols of Zhungar, so the Governor of the Southwest transferred all the troops from each prefecture to Lijiang Prefecture to guard against the Mongols.”
"Although the people in Peace Hall haven't been mobilized, they're still living on empty pay. The hall can't even gather 300 people who can fight.”
" I see..." Hearing Yang Mubo's words, Zhu Bomu realized that the Qing court was not that strong. At least in terms of the degree of corruption of combat power, the Green Army soldiers who had been at ease for almost 30 years did not know how to fight anymore.
Kaihua Prefecture was close to the frontier of Yuenan, but even in such a place, there was actually an existence of empty pay. Didn't that mean that the Qing court's 50,000 troops in the southwest might not even have 30,000?
When he thought of the fact that there were not even 30,000 people who could fight in the vast Southwest, Zhu Bomu could not help but feel glad that he had made the right choice to live in southern Yunnan.
If he didn't run away at the beginning and chose to develop in Qilu or Xiangnan, then once the war started, the Qing army would probably charge at him from all directions.
In this era, the Qing Dynasty had about 100,000 Eight Banners Army, 200,000 Mongolian cavalry, and 300,000 to 500,000 Green Army soldiers.
The Manchu Eight Banners had already decayed. Now, other than the Green Camp soldiers in Zhili, the Green Camp soldiers in other areas were mostly vulnerable. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty mainly relied on the 200,000 Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry gathered by the Monan Mongolian tribes.
Thinking that there were not so many strong enemies around him, Zhu Bomu also breathed a sigh of relief. After Yang Mubo heard that the number of equipment was correct, he smiled and said,"Brother Li Yuan, you're one of the few Han people I've met who didn't lie to us.”
"Don't worry, when I unify Dong 'an Li, I'll definitely come back to sell the goods!”
"Hehe, then I wish Brother Yang a great victory ~" After cupping his hands to Yang Mubo, Zhu Bomu parted ways with him.
Yang Mubo was very happy to get the equipment, so was Zhu Bomu.
"Have you put everything in the warehouse at the foot of the mountain?”Zhu Bomu glanced at Li Dao, who had brought 300 farmers to work at the foot of the mountain.
Li Dao wiped his sweat and smiled." I've put them all in. There's no shortage."”
"En, in that case, you guys continue to make arrangements. I'll go back to the village office first.”As he spoke, Zhu Bomu walked back to the village office, which was where he lived.
After he entered the village office and sat on the bed, he methodically checked his warehouse resources.

……
"Leveling up really does require resources. I wonder what new buildings will appear after upgrading to Dao Village Town, and what will happen to the buildings that have already been built.”
Looking at the resource-rich town, Zhu Bomu felt a little heartache for the resources. However, in the next second, he still clicked to confirm the construction.
In the blink of an eye, his resources were exhausted, and the village office he was sitting in, as well as the arrow tower and military camp outside, changed one after another.
The two-story residential buildings were now wooden buildings, the three-meter-tall arrow towers were now six-meter-tall, the wooden fence walls were now built with bluestone foundations, and the military camp and other things were also turned into mud walls.
As the center of the village, the village office had also changed into a courtyard house with green bricks and tiles that occupied an area of one mu.
The dirt road leading to the foot of the mountain was also widened by a meter and paved with pebbles, making it look much sturdier.
