On the other side, Yeluqing led the Pingle army to the Daimyo's Mansion on the edge of Ningzhou Mansion. I don't know what means Yeluqing used to merge the Liangshan Army of the Daimyo Mansion into the Pingle Army.

The Pingle army once again reached 150,000 people. For a time, several county towns around the Daimyo's Mansion, and even half of the Prefecture Prefecture, were all occupied by the Pingle Army.

On the other side of Ningzhou Province, the Yongle Army occupied Huzhou Province.

It's just that maybe because of Jiang Chao's prestige, the Yongle Army didn't dare to enter Ningzhou Mansion.

There were uprisings everywhere in the entire Great Zhao, but no one dared to come to Ningzhou Mansion to make trouble. Jiang Chao is like a needle that fixes the sea, suppressing the entire Ningzhou Mansion.

And in the fiefdom of King Yuan next to Ningzhou Mansion, after losing contact with the White Lotus Army, King Yuan jumped like thunder.

"Zhen'er, can you find out where Luo Ningshuang and the others are now!?" King Yuan had a gloomy face, looking at his son Song Zhen in front of him, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Father, Luo Ningshuang seems to have taken the White Lotus Army to the land of Bashu, and then, he disappeared. This incident is said to be related to the river tide. Luo Ningshuang's disciple Huang Shenlang reported that when Luo Ningshuang withdrew from the army, Jiang Chao was arrested by her, but Jiang Chao was released by Su Yue'er. Later, after Su Yue'er came back, Luo Ningshuang withdrew. ”

Song Zhen hurriedly said to his father.

When King Yuan heard this, a wave of fury instantly surged in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and gritted his hands on the armrests of the chair.

"Jiang Chao, it's you again...... This king will never let your ...... go"

Speaking of this, King Yuan looked at his son and said, "Zhen'er, the righteous army in Luzhou Mansion is fine!" ”

"Father, the development momentum of the rebel army in Luzhou Mansion is very good, although it is not as good as the White Lotus Army, but because of the smoke in the world, the whole world is in chaos! Even if we don't have the White Lotus Army at that time, there will be no problem in getting things done. ”

Song Zhen said to his father, and his face showed a look of joy.

Hearing this, King Yuan nodded.

In the entire Great Zhao, at this time, it can be said that there are rebels in several continents. In addition to the White Lotus Army, King Yuan also formed a righteous army in Luzhou Mansion.

I wanted to rely on this righteous army and the White Lotus Army to complete my hegemony without a problem, but I didn't expect that the White Lotus Army would abandon him.

Although the White Lotus Army was able to reach its current scale under his protection, the White Lotus Army was all followers of the White Lotus Sect, and it was difficult for him to control it at all.

Therefore, even if the White Lotus Army abandoned him, he was helpless.

It's just that King Yuan feels that all this may be related to Jiang Chao. Even if he cherishes Jiang Chao in his heart, now he can't wait to kill Jiang Chao as soon as possible.

When Jiang Chao returned to the mountain village, he met with Ye Qingying, Ye Qingying was ready to be captured, but she didn't expect that Jiang Chao saved her in the end.

She originally wanted to go to the mountain village with Jiang Chao, but her family was still in Kyoto, and Jiang Chao's development still needed her to operate. In the end, she chose to return to Beijing.

Jiang Chao returned to the mountain village with more than 60,000 Pingle army prisoners, and after a few months of development, the mountain village is no longer the original mountain village.

Rows of brick houses are enough to meet the needs of more than 100,000 people.

The more than 3,000 captives who were subdued last time have completely returned to their hearts, and ideological education is effective.

In addition, these former bandit soldiers were also from poor backgrounds, so ideological education can resonate in their hearts.

Moreover, the atmosphere of the mountain village is peaceful and happy, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and lives a sufficient and prosperous life.

Isn't this the kind of life that everyone yearns for?! Even the most vicious bandits were deeply infected.

They unconsciously integrated themselves into the backing village, and they even tried their best to integrate themselves into it.

When Jiang Chao returned with 60,000 captives, the people in the backing village were a little dumbfounded, but everyone accepted these people.

Especially those displaced people who had been brought back by Jiang Chao before, and they found their relatives among these captives.

Jiang Chao's return soon evolved into a meeting to recognize relatives. Most of the displaced people have found their relatives, and only a few have not.

Their loved ones are either dying on the road or are nowhere to be found. After a few days of integration, the 60,000 captives quickly adapted to life in the backing village.

Jiang Chao incorporated them into the army of the children, and the army of the children has changed from more than 10,000 people to more than 70,000 troops now.

Such a scale is enough to ensure that the mountain village is worry-free.

When Jiang Chao arranged the affairs of the mountain village, he went to the Yelang clan.

Because of the passage of the waterway, there is no need to cross the mountains and forests to enter and exit the Yelang Clan, but it takes a day and a half to go to the Yelang Clan by the waterway.

The waterways are relatively safe, but they are too tortuous. However, compared to entering the Yelang clan from the mountain road, the waterway was only slightly slower for half a day. But in terms of security, it is much greater.

When he returned to the Yelang clan, Dong Liyue greeted him with joy and shyness.

All the development of the Yoro clan is on the right track, because of the completion of the merchant ships, most of the goods are already being transported.

With the caravan left by Ye Qingying to contact, the things produced by the Yelang clan do not need to enter the mountain village again.

Jiang Chao didn't have much interest in other things, as long as he got on the right track and developed at this speed.

He was now concerned with the steam engine.

Murong Mingxuan was sent to the Yelang clan before, and I don't know what happened to this kid now.

Jiang Chao had already taught him the preliminary principles and drawings of the steam engine, so he didn't know if Murong Mingxuan had built the steam engine he wanted.

If the first generation of steam engines is built, it will usher in a huge technological innovation, and the Yelang clan will officially enter the industrial age.

When Jiang Chao, accompanied by Dong Liyue, came to the ironmaking workshop, Murong Mingxuan was directing the blacksmiths to install a huge steam equipment.

Although the mold shape is very rough, it is already very good to be able to create a mold for steam engine parts with ancient technology.

The first generation of steam engines must have been rough, and as long as the technology was slowly innovated, Jiang Chao believed that it would be more than just a steam engine.

Seeing Jiang Chao coming, Murong Mingxuan hurriedly asked everyone to stop, and he ran over quickly, his face full of excitement.

"Master, we have created the components you want, and they are now being assembled, as long as the assembly is successful, you can try it and see if it can be successful."

"Master, you don't know, these components are really difficult to build, I don't know how many times they have failed, and then they have been built now."

Murong Mingxuan said excitedly to Jiang Chao while vomiting there.

Then again, with today's technology, it's really hard to build these components, and it's really not easy to be able to build them.
