C1571 Private and silver bullets (2/2)
Hidden Fog Kid waved her hand, and the two soldiers activated their Military Maps s. She recounted the plan again and concluded it, ”Lord Lin will be taking away 1500 elite soldiers, this must be the core force of the armed forces in the entire Ningguta area! Hunchun General will also bring along the three hundred personal guards … ”
”Milords!” Stop hiding it, lend me the private troops you have raised! If you want to get promoted and become rich, you can't not put in some effort! ”
These words caused everyone's faces to change drastically. Private soldier! This was the most core and secret force of the ancient army. Middle ages army commanders all had the habit of raising private soldiers.
They deducted a portion of the pay from the larger troops on the surface and added it to a small group of elites who only listened to their orders.
These private troops were filled with the smell of silver. Many of them were descendants of the family, so there was no need to mention their loyalty. As long as their leader gave them the order, their fighting strength would be even more tenacious.
Now that Hun Chun had directly opened his mouth and asked everyone's private army to come out with a special force of one thousand five hundred people, it would be a lie to say that they did not feel heartache.
Hun Chun looked at them coldly. ”What's wrong? Hesitation? Afraid that my Hun Chun will not return them to you after eating them? ”Is that all …”
Everyone shrunk their necks, and one of the General with the surname Tang scratched his head awkwardly and said, ”Sir, no need to say that, I won't hide it from the general, I have eighty brothers that can fight hard on my hands, if Master wants to use it, then take it!”
”However, I have a small question. Sir, please answer it …”
”Speak!” Hun Chun is not afraid of you having problems, just afraid that you will remain silent, if you open your mouth then there will be discussions.
The Tang General cleared his throat and said, ”We must listen to His Majesty's orders, and we will not forget the general's kindness, but my question is for the Lord!”
”If this mutiny is carried out today, we will have completely broken off all ties with the imperial government! ”Although His Majesty has ordered us not to be sent into seclusion and has protected us, it will be at least three years before His Majesty's personal rule is complete …”
”Three years! The imperial army's salary alone can kill us! What's more, it's possible that the government will send troops to invade us … May I ask sire, how should we endure these three years? Don't let us die before dawn! ”
This question resonated with the crowd. ”Yes, yes!” If they had not been paid and equipped, their brothers would have been frozen to death and starved to death! Even if I managed to survive, I would not have any fighting strength left. When I return, wouldn't I be easy for the imperial government to pinch? ”
Hearing the crowd's buzzing discussion, Sister Wu was already prepared. She smiled and took out a stack of papers.
”We were prepared for your questions! Everyone take a look at these things, this is the central promissory note issued by the newly established Chinese Central Bank, it belongs to the group with the highest credit out of all the bank notes.
”General Tang then! ”Come and get your share...” After saying that, he handed over a note worth two hundred thousand silver taels.
What a generous gift! A General would give two hundred thousand silver coins, but by this standard, no one in this house could give out three to four million silver coins.
Hidden Fog Kid had used all of her remaining funds to act as the Prime Minister. Not only that, she had made an even bigger promise on behalf of the Prime Minister.
”Isn't it just the Qing Dynasty's economic blockade? Hehe, with us Chinese here, are you afraid that you won't have the money to spend? ”
