As for those landlords and wealthy merchants, they heard that they could donate money to get a place for their children to be officials, and these people were quite enthusiastic.

Due to Chen Mu's previous suppression of the big family, now that he has money, he can't bully the people, and these rich people are idle and have nothing to do.

When I heard that I would have the opportunity to become an official overseas if I donated, I was very excited.

They even started a contest, if you donate 500,000 taels of silver, I will donate 700,000 taels, and some people donate 1 million taels.

After all, there is a county order, who will be the village head?

Chen Mu didn't clearly mark the price, what he wanted was this effect, let them compete by themselves.

There are also some powerful families who even ask if they can send their children to join the army and become staff officers or logistics officers, and also give them a chance to exercise.

Of course, Chen Mu had a good idea of what these people wanted to do, and these people just wanted to mix sand with their own army.

However, Chen Mu was not afraid, he took all the orders, and only privately instructed them to put all these noble children in a detachment, and not to let them touch the core things of the army.

After arriving overseas, if these people are disobedient, they will be killed, after all, they are going to war, and it is normal to kill a few people.

Two months passed like this, and Chen Mu's preparations were almost complete.

During this period, the news from them from the Strait Fortress was that the Western Kingdom only sent a small force to test it here, and then went back.

It seems that the people of the Western Kingdom still don't want to face the powerful Great Xia Army so early, but want to bully other backward countries, which is similar to Chen Mu's estimate.

However, in the past two days, they have brought the second news, that is, they have heard that the Western Kingdom is going to war against Eju.

The West has sent a large number of fleets, led by one of their very famous generals, William.

"Well, we can't let them conquer Eju, or we'll lose a supply depot for the expedition."

In this case, then Great Xia will be famous.

Because the Eju Kingdom is already a vassal state of Bactria and has signed the Rakshasa Treaty, if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, Bactria can provide assistance.

Now that Eju is in trouble, it is also beneficial for Daxia to go to the aid to subdue the hearts of the people of Eju.

Chen Mu sent someone to call Zhang Zhong over, and then said:

"Now that the Western Kingdom is going to attack Eju, we must immediately send troops."

"Let's do a ritual and take out the prisoner I brought with me, and I'll kill him on the spot. Use his blood to inspire the warriors of our expedition. ”

"Li Biao, you go to the treasury and take out all the millions of silver I have saved. I will distribute it to all the soldiers on the spot and motivate them to fight. ”

Chen Mu imitated Alexander the Great, when the emperor went on an expedition to Persia, he took out all his savings and distributed them to the soldiers, which means that he is a shipwreck, and he is willing to live and die with his soldiers.

Zhang Zhong was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Chen Mu to be so proud, he then hugged his fists and said:

"Since His Highness is willing to do this, I believe that all the soldiers will definitely follow His Highness to the death."

Zhang Zhong and Li Biao went to prepare separately.

The next day, on an auspicious day, Chen Mu came to the port with his men.

At this moment, it happened to be a sunny day, hundreds of fleets in the harbor, their flags fluttering, and the guardrails of the fleets shining in the sun.

Chen Mu walked to the edge of the port, and he immediately began to speak.

Many soldiers looked at Chen Mu, they were very excited in their hearts, but their queue did not appear scattered in the slightest, but stood quietly in place, waiting for Chen Mu's instructions.

Chen Mu glanced at these people, and he said next.

"Brothers, this expedition may take a long time, it may be a year, it may be two or three years."

"Although Great Xia is very large, in the far west, in the far south, there are still large territories waiting for us to conquer."

"We want to use our swords to open up a new living space for Great Xia, you fight well, you may be just an ordinary soldier now, but over there, I can guarantee that you can be officials in the new world, landlords in the new world, and change your fate."

Chen Mu said with pride and ambition, after all, in this era, it is useless for ordinary soldiers to talk about some big and unworthy value significance.

You might as well motivate directly with benefits, which will stimulate everyone.

Many of the fighters shouted, and they shouted excitedly:

"We are willing to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and conquer all our enemies, and we are willing to follow you until we are old."

Many of these soldiers are young people, just in their twenties, and some of them have very difficult families, and they came to serve as soldiers because they also wanted to change their fate.

Seeing that there was an opportunity to fight themselves out of the bottom, they were very excited.

Chen Mu nodded, and then then said, "Okay, you did a good job, then let's live and die together." ”

Chen Mu hugged his fists, and then he said to Zhang Zhong next to him, "You let people bring that prisoner over." ”

Zhang Zhong hurriedly went to do it, and Martin, who was soon caught by Chen Mu, was tied up and pushed to the front.

Martin's face was already pale at this time, and he looked at Chen Mu tremblingly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you going to do?" ”

Martin suddenly thought that he had heard that every time the Great Xia army went on an expedition, they liked to kill a few prisoners, this was called the sacrificial flag, was he the one who was going to be killed?

Chen Mu snorted coldly, he took a musket from the side, and then said to Martin:

"I have no enmity with you, but your country's reckless behavior has affected the interests of our Great Xia, I'm sorry, I want to use your life to wish us a smooth battle this time."

After Chen Mu said this, he pulled the trigger.

Martin screamed, his forehead was beaten with blood, and he fell to the ground.

"Someone's coming, drag him down."

Chen Mu sneered, and then then said:

"All those who are enemies of our Great Xia will end up like this!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mighty!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mighty!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mighty!"

The fighters shouted, and the atmosphere was pushed to the climax.

Chen Mu shouted again: "If you dare to offend my great summer prestige, you will be punished even if you are far away!" ”

The soldiers said in unison: "Those who dare to offend my great summer prestige will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

Chen Mu nodded, "Let's go!" ”

Chen Mu gave an order, and the soldiers boarded their own ships, and soon, hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of troops left the port of Great Xia and started a new expedition.
