Chapter 438 Silver is meant to be used for making money.
Everyone looked at Chang Sheng Gong.
Yes, everyone has come up with a strategy to minimize casualties.
So... can fire and thunder provide enough food?
Furthermore, although they did not participate in the manufacture of fire mines, they knew that it was quite a lot of work to make one.
I've heard that some of the materials used to make fire bombs are extremely valuable...
When Chang Shenggong saw that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but smile.
"What are you worried about? All this time..."
The town's magistrate has been working day and night, producing a considerable number of fire mines.
And those that were made before are all stored in the warehouse!
Don't worry, we have enough stock right now.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
That's enough.
"Sir, didn't you say before that you were going to send some of those inventory to the west?"
And to the south.
"Isn't this His Majesty's intention?" the aide whispered a reminder.
Chang Shenggong shook his head.
"That's what I thought before, but not anymore! Let's focus on winning this battle first!"
Fire and thunder are things that are created to be used; once they're used up, you can just create more.
His Majesty has told me this more than once.
Don't worry about spending money. If the silver sent from the border cities isn't enough, His Majesty will have the Imperial Treasury allocate more.
Business in the border town is now stable, with a fixed amount of silver being delivered every month.
What's the point of earning money?
It's just flowers.
If not in this place, where else would you spend your money?
"Are we keeping it to force them to cede territory and pay reparations?" Chang Shenggong asked.
Everyone just chuckled.
Okay, as long as we have these words from the "Ever-Victorious Lord," that's fine.
"General, we've defeated the Northern Hu people this time. If they recuperate for a while and then come back, should we continue to fight them using the same tactics?" General Youfu asked again.
Chang Shenggong narrowed his eyes.
"Let's finish this fight first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
As for whether the Northern Hu can recover their fighting strength and continue to invade Dayu?
That depends on whether they have the luck!
Do you want to recover your strength after this great battle?
Hehe, it would be strange if I didn't slice you all up like watermelons!
Shen Huaichen said that a disorganized Northern Hu is the best.
This poses no threat to Dayu and is beneficial to trade in the border city.
Therefore, Shen Huaichen will definitely do something.
"Three days later, His Majesty's army will also be stationed outside Wuyun City."
Notify all units to prepare.
In particular, the grain transport teams must not make any mistakes.
"The provisions for an army of 200,000 are no child's play," Chang Sheng said righteously.
The lieutenant and his staff all bowed and said, "Yes, sir!"
Soon, the entire Weiyuan Army sprang into action.
Shen Qingrui, who had immediately plunged into the firearms workshop upon returning to the North, also received orders.
"The great war should begin soon."
If everyone works harder, the more fire mines we can build, the more Hu people we can kill.
Now we don't need three shifts anymore, just two shifts, and everyone can try to build a little more.
"Remember, as long as it's powerful!" Shen Qingrui, shirtless, shouted to everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately responded loudly.
Yes! Do your best!
"Just keep going! As long as we can breathe, we'll keep working!"
"Once this wave is over, we can take a break. Keep it up, everyone!"
......
Seeing everyone's high spirits, Shen Qingrui wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Yes! Just do it!
All that hard work over the past few days, wasn't it all for this day?
The fire mines he created were able to kill the Hu people, so he could be considered to have gone to the battlefield.
Now... he should be worthy of his father's spirit in heaven.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingrui continued to watch the people below prepare the gunpowder.
......
The Weiyuan Army was preparing to advance another ten miles; such a large commotion could not be kept secret.
Soon, there was also movement from Beihu.
Shen Huaichen received a message from the Northern Hu imperial court.
"The young emperor and that right prime minister have assembled an army of 400,000 and are heading towards the border city," Shen Huaichen said to Burilege with a smile.
Burileg was startled.
"400,000 troops? The Weiyuan Army only has 200,000!"
These Weiyuan troops are under immense pressure.
"Four hundred thousand it is! Who knows how this army of four hundred thousand was cobbled together!"
"It looks intimidating, but it's just a paper tiger," Shen Huaichen laughed.
“Aren’t you worried, Abu?” Burileg asked.
"What's there to worry about?"
"Just sending more heads!" Shen Huaichen said indifferently.
