On the other side, Jiang Chao waited until the flood waters receded, and was ready to return to Ningzhou Mansion. He was a little anxious at this time, because the news from the intelligence department indicated that several forces were already pressing towards the mountain village.

These forces obviously covet everything in the mountain village and want to use it for their own use.

In the past, they might have been intimidated by the power of the river tide and did not dare to take action. But in knowing that there is a secret of Jiang Chao's unparalleled combat power in the backing village.

These forces all want to take the opportunity to seize the backer village, and at that time, as long as they have the secret weapons of those industries in the backer village, they believe that their troops can also be as powerful as the children's army.

Jiang Chao was a little worried about the situation in the backing village, and he had to rush back to the backing village as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also received the news of the emperor's propaganda to the outside world, and Jiang Chao also knew the emperor's plan, which was to force him to enter Beijing.

If you don't enter Beijing, you will definitely be crushed to death by public opinion in the world, but if you enter Beijing, your life will be in danger at any time.

He is now faced with a difficult choice, either to become a thief spurned by the world, or to prepare to go to Beijing and wait for death.

Jiang Chao hasn't thought of a good way to do this for the time being, so he can only take one step at a time and make plans when he returns to the mountain village.

Just as Jiang Chao was returning with his 20,000 subordinate troops, not far ahead, a sudden burst of fire rushed into the sky, and bursts of explosions came from there.

The astonishing power made the faces of the children change, and the people around them scattered and fled for their lives. All the good farmland was destroyed.

Seeing something like a volcanic eruption suddenly appear in front of him, Jiang Chao's eyes showed a sense of astonishment, but he quickly let surprise take his place.

It's oil! It's October, it's autumn, and it's dry. Farmers are burning old straw to make fertilizer.

Unexpectedly, it ignited the oil that flowed out of the ground. Presumably after the flood, the terrain changed, and oil in it bubbled out of the cracks.

The moment he saw this oil, Jiang Chao's heart simply smiled, he had been looking for this kind of thing for a long time.

Petroleum can be used to make not only gasoline, but also diesel, asphalt, lubricants, and kerosene.

In industry, light oil and gaseous olefins can be refined through petroleum catalysis and cracking, such as ethylene, propylene, butylene, butadiene, etc.

These are all things that are in short supply, especially diesel, kerosene and gasoline.

If it can be purified, Jiang Chao can even make the most primitive generator. Once there were generators, industrial production would be a big step forward compared to the steam engine.

Thinking of this, the smile on Jiang Chao's face became thicker and thicker, and the surrounding generals looked at Jiang Chao with some astonishment, and they didn't know what to say about their husband for a while.

The farmer's fields are burning, and if this problem is not solved, the farmer is afraid that he will not be able to survive, and at this time, he even laughs!

"Sir, you gloating, aren't you a little ......" Donglishan on the side pouted at Jiang Chao a little uncontrollably. There was a hint of indescribable meaning in his voice.

When Jiang Chao heard this, he hurriedly put away the smile on his face, he also knew that he was laughing too stupidly just now, and he laughed a little too much.

He shook his head at Dongli Mountain and said, "Xiaoshan, you are wrong, I'm not gloating, I'm laughing at the heavens for favoring us and sending us treasures!" ”

When Dongli Mountain and the surrounding generals heard this, they didn't know the meaning of Jiang Chao's words for a while, what is the meaning of heaven's favor and treasure! Where's the treasure!?

It's no wonder if it's not a natural disaster! Give back the treasure!

"Where is the treasure, Mr. is not fooling me!" Dong Lishan pouted, originally, he had always called Jiang Chaojiang Big Brother.

But as Jiang Chao's power became stronger and stronger, his respect for Jiang Chao became a little stronger, so he slowly called Mr. Jiang Chao with everyone.

"That black oil is a treasure! Tell those family members to collect oil for me, and pay me ten cents a day. Jiang Chao smiled at Dongli Mountain.

Although Donglishan didn't know what Jiang Chao wanted to do, he hurriedly went to beckon the farmers to collect the oil, of course, before collecting the oil, he still put out the fire first.

Hearing that there was money to be made, those farmers were grateful to Jiang Chao for a while, and all the farmers thought that Jiang Chao was because they couldn't bear to see that they could no longer farm, so they deliberately gave them a livelihood.

While the peasants were collecting oil, Jiang Chao sent 20,000 of his sons to the surrounding jungle to cut down trees to make oil drums. In addition, I am going to make some wagons.

For the time being, it is impossible to extract all this oil, but Jiang Chao can pull some of it back to the mountain village first, and the more it pulls, the better.

The 20,000 army can let him pull a lot back, as for the remaining oil field, Jiang Chao is ready to take down the territory here, and then find someone to exploit the crude oil in the oil field.

If it weren't for the fact that this place didn't belong to him, Jiang Chao would have wanted to build an oil refinery here. At present, the only way to extract the oil here is to transport it to the mountain village.

The cost of such transportation will be high, but the benefits will be greater. Jiang Chao didn't have to worry.

But at present, he is afraid that he will not be able to do this, after all, he has no transportation business. If you send a large army to transport it, it will be a little uneconomical.

It seems that this matter can only be done by finding a way for Ye Qingying to do it. And Ye Qingying is now in the capital. Jiang Chao knew that he might have to go to the capital.

This can not only solve the emperor's desire to use the world's public opinion, but also allow Ye Qingying to help him exploit the oil here.

Jiang Chao led the army to stop here, and he was ready to extract more oil, so he would extract more. There are 20,000 people here, and the speed of mining is much faster.

It's also quick to make oil drums. In almost ten days, Jiang Chao was loaded with oil and crude oil and rushed back under the escort of 20,000 troops.

On the other side, after Yeluqing escaped from the encirclement, he fled in horror all the way. The eyes of the generals who escaped with him were still full of fear.

Not long after they escaped, they were confronted by a huge army in front of them. See the flag that the army was up. The eyes of Yeluqing and several generals beside him were full of joy.

The troops who came over were none other than the 50,000 troops led by Chen Ren, who had come from the Daimyo's Mansion to Ningzhou's side.

Chen Ren did not attack Ningzhou Mansion. Because, if Ningzhou Mansion wants to capture it, it is unlikely at all. Moreover, their own purpose is to support the mountain village.

If you take the time to attack Ningzhou Mansion, it will outweigh the losses, and even whether you can capture Ningzhou Mansion will be a problem.

If other forces are allowed to seize the backer village first, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, Chen Ren followed behind Yeluqing and rushed here.
