Chapter 276 Resistance from All Sides
The situation in the north was tense, and the Fourth Princess left without staying in the Sixth and Seventh Counties for long, but the mines were still digging in an orderly manner and were heavily guarded.
All parties are even more curious about what the Fourth Princess produced in the workshop in the sixth and seventh counties?
Some say it is for pharmaceutical manufacturing, others say it is for weapons manufacturing. In any case, the world cannot figure it out, and even if they want to steal the technology or follow the trend, there is no way.
The Western Kingdom remained closed-door, and the Holy Son of the Miao Kingdom reorganized the internal affairs after returning, making the western border of the Eastern Dynasty relatively stable.
Perhaps only those who have actually come into contact with Jiang Changle know how terrifying she is, and therefore dare not provoke her easily.
At the same time, the Western Kingdom, the Southern Kingdom and other countries all expected Jiang Changle to counterattack the Northern Kingdom.
"I heard that the Queen gave the Fourth Princess three armies. Adding to the Jiang Family Army's original forces, Jiang Changle now has nearly a million troops at his disposal."
In a secluded observatory, beneath the red moon separated by glass, an old female voice was heard.
"Oh, so what? A million people wouldn't be easy to manage? Food, fodder, and armaments are all essential.
If Jiang Changle can fail once in the Northern Frontier, he can fail a second time.
After all, she's just a woman, she can't amount to anything." Another old male voice sounded rather arrogant.
The female voice frowned, as if she was dissatisfied with the male voice, but in the end she didn't say anything more about the hierarchy between men and women.
"Jiang Changle has changed after all, so we have to be on guard."
General Zhou Hu died at the hands of the beastly husband of the Jiang family. Jiang Changle only needed three people to drive away the 100,000-strong army of the Western Kingdom and reorganize the Zhou family army in the west into obedience.
Her random actions could remotely control the situation in Kyoto. The eldest princess and the fifth princess were imprisoned because of her, and the Jiang family's businesses were making a fortune.
Each of these things were not something that the infatuated person who only had eyes for Gu Ci could do, so Jiang Changle had to be on guard.
This made the other party agree. "That's right. Therefore, we must also make changes. This world should not allow weak females to be in power, just like the East Dynasty, which is hopelessly weak."
The Queen allowed people in her country to act tyrannically and people from other countries to bully others at will. She acted like a coward and had no courage at all.
The female voice didn't respond for a long time, maybe she was angry.
Finally, he said only a few words, "You'd better deploy as soon as possible. The Dynasty Army is sending out elite troops, and the Zhang family army is not easy to deal with. The Chu family army has been secretly protected by the young master of the Chu family for many years.
If the three forces truly submit to Jiang Changle, they will also be powerful forces that cannot be ignored.
Furthermore, the Jiang family's individual combat capabilities are too strong. Even an army of over 100,000 from six or seven counties is no match for Jiang Changle and his two servants. What are you going to do?"
It's impossible to rely solely on the Northern Army, right? Once the Northerners arrive, they might be impossible to drive away. What's the point of dividing the city into small pieces?
There simply aren’t enough resources to go around.
Therefore, at this critical juncture, one must be careful when taking action against Jiang Changle.
They also want to use her to deal with the Northern Army, but they can't let her do what she wants and become too powerful and difficult to control.
Unfortunately, the man still didn't take Jiang Changle seriously, "Hehe, even if we don't take action, Jiang Changle won't be successful.
Not to mention how powerful the Northern Army's weapons are, even the 200,000 imperial troops are not that easy to control. Who doesn't know that there are people from various forces mixed in there?
Who would listen to Jiang Changle's orders? Not to mention the Jiang family's beastly husbands who had no status, I'm afraid no one would pay attention to them.
As for the Chu family army, it has been ruined by the second princess. Even if the Jiang family takes over, they are all old, weak and sick, and there is no need to be afraid of them.
The last of the Zhang family army, the old man surnamed Zhang is very cunning. Will he be willing to surrender to a few wild kids who haven't even grown all their hair?
In short, I have my own way to dismantle the power in Jiang Changle's hands. If you are worried, you can do it yourself."
The old man laughed heartily and left in a leisurely manner.
Jiang Changle knew that there would definitely be someone in the Eastern Dynasty who would hold the Jiang family back. After all, the hatred within the Eastern Dynasty was greater than that within other countries.
However, she didn't know what the trouble was, but she was not afraid. Instead, she carried out everything in an orderly manner according to the plan.
Armor, bulletproof vests, long rifles with pointed knives, bombs, heavy artillery vehicles, and even siege machinery were built.
After all, if they want to take back the cities in the north, they must attack the cities, and they cannot destroy the cities wantonly, so the mechanical weapons for siege must be sophisticated.
Mo Chen followed Jiang Changle to manufacture armaments, and Lu Xingyan was responsible for transportation, delivering the things to Xuan Qing and others continuously.
However, the transportation was not a big deal. The children's Qiankun bags were all used, and no one in the world saw the Jiang family's weapons being transported out. These weapons appeared on the battlefield, without anyone knowing.
Xuanqing and He Jing went to the three northern cities and six counties because the northern army had already reached there.
Xuanqing led a few hundred soldiers and cavalry to Sanliu County first, while He brought 50,000 Jiang family soldiers and food, grass and medicine, and his speed was slower.
When Xuanqing arrived, he found that the Wang Chao army was still dawdling in three or five counties. The distance of only one county was enough to delay those bastards for two or three days.
It seemed as if Dayou was defending the city in three or five counties and was unwilling to support the thirty-six counties.
The Northern Army's 500,000 troops are stationed outside Sanliu County, occasionally launching small-scale sneak attacks, but have not yet taken Sanliu County.
In Sanliu County, there were 100,000 Zhou family soldiers guarding the city, and there were also 100,000 original county defense troops, for a total of 200,000 people.
The other citizens had already fled to other places, most of them were females and children. Some fled to Kyoto, while some well-informed beastmen fled south.
Kyoto is also in a precarious situation now. In comparison, the fourth princess's fiefdom is actually safer.
But what is outrageous is that the real problem faced by the 200,000-strong army is not the pressure from the Northern Army, but the serious shortage of their military rations.
What’s annoying is that the dynasty’s military rations have not been delivered yet, as if their army and city have been abandoned and forgotten, and no one cares about them.
The Zhou family army is fine, as they can supply their own military rations, but the city defense army of Sanliu County is completely dependent on the Dynasty. Until the Dynasty's military rations arrive, the Zhou family army will ignore them.
This is so despairing.
"Who the hell is withholding our military rations?!" The Lady of County Sanliu was a tall and mighty female, only in her thirties.
She was not afraid of fighting, but starving to death was really frustrating. With her many years of experience as an official, she knew that it was the work of those old guys in the dynasty.
It is impossible for the Queen not to send military rations. The military rations must have been withheld by those places in the three or five counties.
Sanliu County finally experienced the crisis that the Fourth Princess faced back then, which was really heartbreaking.
"Alas, God wants to destroy Sanliu County." The teacher sighed in despair.
Sanliu County was clearly the heartland of the Eastern Dynasty. What on earth were those in the dynasty trying to do? Did they really want to destroy the country and become slaves?
