Chapter 153

Gu Yong and Wang Can both proposed it; Cheng Yu pondered for a while and also bowed and said!

With over nine hundred thousand people, supporting over forty thousand troops, if it were other warlords, it would be about the same!

But having seen the Lianjing No. 11 rice seeds, Cheng Yu knows!

Even if the lord directly recruited one hundred thousand troops, Guangling Commandery could still afford it!

However!

At that time, it would truly be militaristic!

"Hmm, alright, then this matter is entrusted to Zhongxuan and Li Gang!"

Lin Yang hesitated for a while, then nodded, his gaze looking at Wang Can and Li Gang!

"The number of local braves to be recruited will be temporarily set at twenty thousand!"

Considering the speed of reputation acquisition nowadays, for over sixty thousand troops, his reputation marketplace could still supply them!

Moreover, starting from next year, rice seeds will be planted on a large scale within Guangling Commandery!

Once there is a bumper harvest, he won't have to worry about food supplies anymore!

"Yes, my lord!"

Wang Can and Li Gang bowed and received the order, and the remaining people also looked at Lin Yang, who was sitting above!

"At present, Zilong, Ziyi, and Elai, you all strengthen the training of the soldiers and prepare the army for battle!"

Saying this to Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, and others off to the side, Lin Yang cannot mobilize troops to move at the moment!

He must figure out what exactly this Xuzhou Provincial Governor Tao Qian is doing!

Once there are troop movements in the direction of Xiapi!

He will truly have to make a response!

"Yes, my lord!"

The three people below shouted in unison, with no trace of fear in their eyes!

Even facing a behemoth like Xuzhou Provincial Governor Tao Qian, they have the courage to compete with him!

"Zhongde, Elai, stay behind!"

As the meeting ended, Lin Yang also had Cheng Yu and Dian Wei stay behind!

The two looked at each other and stood off to the side in silence!

The others, such as Gu Yong and Wang Can, all bowed and said goodbye!

"My lord, is there anything else?"

Seeing that Lin Yang had specifically kept the two of them, Cheng Yu was slightly surprised!

"Let's go, I'll take you two to see something!"

Taking a deep breath, walking out of the Commandery Governor's mansion, at the entrance, Li Gang had already arranged for people to wait here!

After Cheng Yu and Dian Wei got into the carriage, they also rode fast toward outside the city!

Seeing Lin Yang take them outside the city, Cheng Yu's brows furrowed even more tightly!

Subsequently, not long after, the two arrived at an ordnance factory!

"Eh, when was there a garrison here?"

As the Chief Clerk of Guangling Commandery, this was the first time he knew there was an ordnance factory here!

Moreover!

This area was also guarded by heavy-armored soldiers!

What did the lord hide in here?

Cheng Yu's heart had already guessed the purpose of this place!

Only!

He was very curious why Lin Yang had brought them here!

It was the simpleton Dian Wei off to the side who didn't ask a single question!

Anyway, if Lin Yang didn't say, he wouldn't ask; whatever Lin Yang told him to do, he would do!

"Go, start!"

Saying this to Li Gang off to the side, the latter immediately signaled for a soldier to start acting!

The next moment, not long after, a soldier was seen carefully tying something with a linen cloth, and then placing it in a pit!

Then he slowly retreated to the side and lit the hay rope off to the side!

Lin Yang stood far behind, watching the soldier use a burning mirror to get fire, and could not help but complain in his heart again!

Han Dynasty!

There isn't even a tool for making fire!

When will the special items refresh a lighter for me!

In this way, making fire here would be much easier!

"My lord, it's lit!"

Just at this moment, Li Gang off to the side, watching the running soldier, reminded him!

"Hmm, hmm!"

Watching the hay rope slowly burning, Lin Yang also waited silently!

There's no way!

His black powder was bought from the marketplace!

It didn't come with matching fuses and so on!

Just this!

Was only successfully created after having people experiment many times!

"My lord, this thing is..."

"Boom!"

Cheng Yu was just about to ask, when the next moment, a loud noise was heard in the distance; in an instant, dust flew, and under the pit, broken soil blocks splashed everywhere, with billowing smoke!

The loud noise just now left Cheng Yu completely stunned!

A heart almost jumped out of fright just now!

Watching the thing that suddenly exploded, Cheng Yu's entire brain was sluggish!

Something like black powder!

Even in the Song Dynasty, it was something enough to make people marvel!

Now, exploding in this chaotic world of the Eastern Han!

It was enough to make top-tier strategists like Cheng Yu dumbfounded!

Even the simpleton Dian Wei off to the side was stunned by this terrifying power!

"My lord, this is a divine object!"

Cheng Yu silently calculated the power just now; it was enough to easily destroy the city gate!

This flying sand and rolling stones, the violent tremor, had all been transmitted to his side!

Such a terrifying thing is absolutely a divine object!

"Alright, this is not a divine object; this is black powder!"

Explaining to Cheng Yu and the others, Lin Yang didn't explain too much!

After all!

One sulfur, two saltpeter, three charcoal!

There wasn't a single one of these things in the Eastern Han period!

Explaining it would also be quite laborious!

"My lord, this divine, black powder, how much does the lord have?"

At this moment, Cheng Yu's eyes shone with a sharp light!

With this kind of divine weapon!

In the world of the Great Han, who else can stop the lord!

This kind of divine object only needs to be placed at the city gate!

It can instantly blow open the entire city gate!

If it explodes in the middle of ten thousand troops, the power will be even more unimaginable!

It is absolutely a divine object for competing for the world!
