Just when Su Ziheng and others went to the Mobei Desert to look for oil, a news occurred in the Great Xia Dynasty in the distance that shocked everyone, and Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, rebelled.

Speaking of the rebellion of Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, it still has something to do with Su Ziheng. When he got the news that the crown prince Yao Fusu was intercepted and killed by water bandits, Su Ziheng took his escort team to rush thousands of miles to Yunmengze to search for and rescue His Royal Highness the prince.

That battle not only successfully rescued His Royal Highness the Prince, but also wiped out Yunmengze's water bandit Jinfan thief Pang Ba and a group of people by the way. Later, Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, was worried that his conspiracy would be exposed, so he sent his own son to kill all the Jinfan thieves first.

However, Pang Ba, the leader of the Jinfan thieves, had an extra heart when he greeted the prince of Chu, and handed over the secret documents of his collusion with the king of Chu to his personal guard knife and sent them to the capital Chang'an.

After arriving in Chang'an, Xiaodao found out the news of the destruction of the Jinfan thief's army, and in order to avenge Pang Ba, he secretly handed over the information he was carrying to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Yao Fusu.

After Yao Fusu got the evidence that the king of Chu colluded with the Jinfan thieves to block the road and intercept him, he originally wanted to send a large army to capture Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, back to Beijing, but at this time, the crown princess Beigongqing was about to give birth, and the battle between Daxia and Meng Yuan in the west was in full swing, if he dared to send troops to capture Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, it was estimated that it would lead to his rebellion.

So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Yao Fusu and Emperor Yao Chengde planned to wait for the crown princess to give birth to a child, and then take the opportunity of inviting the kings to Beijing to celebrate without bloodshed, and take down Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu.

Who knew that this secret operation was learned by Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, who had already planted a traitor in the palace in the capital, in order not to be captured and returned to Beijing, Yao Chengzhi actually took the lead in rebelling and declared Chu to stand on his own feet after receiving the support of the witch cult.

In this way, the Great Xia Emperor Yao Chengde was naturally furious, and he didn't care that he was fighting with Meng Yuan, so he sent all the troops that were ready to be put into the battlefield on the Western Front to Chu.

For the Great Xia Emperor Yao Chengde, although the Mengyuan army is difficult to entangle, but after all, the two have been fighting for decades, and they can be regarded as knowing the roots, as long as they defend well, it will still be difficult for them to attack the hinterland of Great Xia for a while.

However, the rebellion of Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, was different, Chu was close to the south of the Yangtze River, which was the granary of Great Xia, and if Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, cut off the Grand Canal between Jiangnan and the capital, the grain could not be transported from Jiangnan to the capital and the front line as scheduled, and then Great Xia would be really dangerous.

No matter how tenacious the Great Xia soldiers are, they can't fight hungry. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led troops to fight against Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, and at the same time to avenge the revenge of one arrow.

……

……

When Su Ziheng learned the news of the rebellion of Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, through the wireless telegraph, he was reaching the desert of Mobei, and at this moment he activated the Shenlong warship to collect oil.

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have had time to set up wireless telegraphs and communicate with Tokai Prefecture.

That day, after Su Ziheng's escort team cut off the tail of the track, they arranged a maze array for the pursuers, leading them to the direction of Yanmen Pass, and a group of more than 60 people quietly shifted the direction and went straight towards the location of the desert in the north of the desert.

This journey day and night, even eating and sleeping are spent on horseback, fortunately, Su Ziheng prepared enough dry food, and it is hunger-resistant jerky, although the group is very tired on the road, but not very hungry, and the distance from the pursuers is getting farther and farther, and the next few days have not encountered the Mengyuan cavalry.

After arriving at the destination according to Bo Yalun's instructions, Su Ziheng ordered everyone to start repairing, and he himself drove the Shenlong warship to start collecting oil.

This oil well in the desert is also a natural oil well, and although it has been flowing day and night for decades, the underground storage capacity is still not low. According to the results of Pandora's detection, there are at least hundreds of millions of barrels of storage, which is enough space for the base to replenish the energy at one time.

Since there is such a good opportunity, Su Ziheng naturally will not miss it, because it is rare for him to come to the Mobei Desert, if he takes the opportunity to replenish the energy of the base space this time, he will not know when he will be able to come again next time.

It is impossible for Su Ziheng to deliberately drive the Shenlong Battleship from Donghai Mansion to the Mobei Desert in order to replenish energy, so that a lot of energy will be wasted on the way back and forth, and it is estimated that the time to replenish it is not enough for him to run back and forth a few times.

In order not to attract attention, Su Ziheng did not let the Shenlong battleship vacate, but fell to the edge of the oil well, while pumping the oil in the oil well, he started the energy converter, and continuously converted the oil into energy, and at the same time he also turned on the 3D printer, constantly printing various weapons and bullets.

Especially the bullets of the sniper rifle, which consumed a lot during this time, if it weren't for the 3D printer, the ammunition that Su Ziheng bought in his previous life would have been used up by him long ago.

Since the news of Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, rebelling in Donghai Mansion, Su Ziheng's sense of crisis has become several points stronger, and he has already felt that the time for chaos in the world is not far off.

At this time, he could no longer care about letting Donghai Mansion develop slowly, and he decided to take advantage of this opportunity to replenish his energy in time to print out all the tools that he urgently needed at present.

Especially weapons and production of manufacturing tools, machine tools and things like that.

Weapons, he mainly printed breech-loading flintlock pistols and cannons, why not print more advanced automatic rifles and machine guns? The main reason is that there is no need for this for the time being, the breech flintlock pistol is already very advanced for this era, and the more important thing is that printing consumes less energy, maintenance is simple, and the bullet can be produced by the weapon workshop itself even if it is not printed by a printer.

As for the cannon, this is a defensive weapon, Su Ziheng didn't print too much, a total of less than a hundred. These are the weapons that will be put on the city walls and on the seashore and shore batteries in the future to defend against enemy attacks.

The next printing was more about various tools, including steam engines and so on. With these advanced tools, the pace of development of Donghai Mansion can be accelerated, and for the current Donghai Mansion, Su Ziheng is still thinking about how to defend and develop.

Perhaps in the future, when the expansion of the Donghai Mansion is greatly restricted, he will not consider how to expand outward. But at present, with a population of less than 100,000, Su Ziheng will definitely not let Donghai Mansion join the melee.

Even Su Ziheng planned to take advantage of the civil strife in Great Xia to recruit many people from the surrounding area. Whether it is a technical talent or an ordinary worker, he is ready to come.

Because in addition to Donghai Mansion, there is also a treasure island waiting for him to develop in the East China Sea, which is not much smaller than Donghai Mansion, as long as it is developed well, the benefits brought to Su Ziheng and Donghai Mansion are definitely beyond Su Ziheng's imagination.
