There are more than 600 people in total.

Faced with the harsh security environment in southern Liaoning, Cheng Shijie could only strengthen the people's armed forces. Although the power of the firecrackers was acceptable, the problem was that the firecrackers were inconvenient to carry and difficult to load. The Ninghai Navy Gun and Artillery Bureau had not completely solved the rifling problem.

It is unrealistic and wasteful to equip civilians with firearms on a large scale.

Secondly, Cheng Shijie is preparing to implement the Castle Law and the No-Yield Act in southern Liaoning. The so-called Castle Law means that if a person breaks into the master's house by mistake or with premeditation without being invited by the master, as long as the master thinks that he has been

When there is a physical threat, you can shoot and kill the opponent immediately.

In this way, whether you are a drunkard, a pervert, or a gangster, you need to be careful, because there are too many scum in southern Liaoning now, posing an extremely serious threat to ordinary people.

In addition, the non-compromising bill is also to cultivate the martial spirit of the people in southern Liaoning. When encountering threats to their own safety, do not be intimidated and directly fight back.

The implementation of this bill is actually to provide insurance for ordinary people. The people of the Ming Dynasty were bullied miserably by officials and gentry. Generally speaking, the people did not dare to resist. Cheng Shijie does not have enough talents now, nor does it mean that,

Promote officials from poor backgrounds, and they will do practical things for the people.

In fact, the integrity of officials is similar to that of prostitutes. It is more difficult to prevent them from bullying the people than to get prostitutes to be good. Although officials can be restrained from the system, the problem is that this also requires the people to have a spirit of resistance.

If Cheng Shijie thought about the tax laws he was enforcing in southern Liaoning, if some officials from the tax bureau still wanted to forcefully collect taxes from the people like they did in the Ming Dynasty, they would have to go to people's homes.

However, Cheng Shijie would ask that the common people and anyone, including government servants, tax collectors, and officials, do not have the right to search the homes of ordinary people without a search warrant. However, if they break in by force, they can fight back in self-defense.

Cheng Shijie will enact laws and strictly control the issuance of search warrants, so it is impossible to bring a few henchmen to the towns and cities to show their dominance.

The basis of a battle is firearms, flexible and lightweight firearms.

In fact, the revolver is not complicated. The manufacturing process is extremely simple. A barrel is nothing more than six inches long. It is cast by direct cold casting. After heat treatment, it is ready. A row of molds can cast sixty guns at a time.

The roots, after cutting, can be formed into three hundred and sixty roots.

Even the most core component, the left rotating wheel, is also cast.

Cheng Shijie took this left revolver, loaded the paper bullets into it, pointed at the target not far away, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

As the gunfire rang out like a burst of beans, this round of rapid fire shot past, and nine bullets knocked the target upside down.

Only then did Gao Qiqian discover the difference in this hand gun: "This..."

"Eunuch Gao, how are you? This gun is good, isn't it? As long as you hold this gun, and when you see Wang Zhixin, aim at him with a rapid fire. I can guarantee that Wang Zhixin will be useless even if he knows the Sunflower Book!"

Gao Qiqian then took the pistol. Of course, he would never use it against Wang Zhixin, but for self-defense.

"This gift is too heavy, I can never accept it!"

"No matter how precious it is, how important is our friendship with you? Take it! If you don't want it, I'll throw it away."

Gao Qiqian thanked him again and again before accepting it.

Both sides said goodbye reluctantly.

Cheng Shijie then decided to set off. Since Hou Xun did not dare to rebel, it would be useless even if he wanted to, because although gentry like Hou Xun were influential in the local area, the problem was that they were too bad and the common people would not

Follow them to rebel. Besides, with Hou Xun's thousands of untrained servants, if it happens, Cheng Shijie won't mind and wipe them out casually.

In fact, just as Cheng Shijie expected, until Wang Zhixin ransacked Hou Xun's home, the Hou family had nothing to lose. The exact amount of money confiscated was not something Cheng Shijie knew. After all, Wang Zhixin didn't just rob Hou Xun's house.

The money will not be given to Cheng Shijie.

On March 24th, the sixth year of Chongzhen, Cheng Shijie boarded the ship and set off for Liaonan. There were still many things waiting for him to do in Liaonan.

Zhu Weiti took a boat ride for the first time and was very curious when he saw everything on the boat.

This is the second batch of large ships produced by Lushun Shipyard. It is made of 2,500 materials. If converted into displacement, it is equivalent to 812 tons. However, there is only one ship in this batch.

Moreover, it was a transitional warship from the Lushun Shipyard. Since it was not safe to launch a large ship with 3,000 rations at once, it was launched with 2,500 rations, a difference of 500 rations.

But the problem is that the difference of these 500 materials is very embarrassing. If it is the same as the original Four King Kong, equipped with twenty-four three-inch smoothbore cannons, the displacement of 500 materials is a bit wasteful, but if it is equipped with 36 guns,

But it can't be installed. As for the newer artillery, it has not been produced yet.

After several months of sailing training, the Four King Kongs have also undergone supplementary optimization. After actual testing, this 2,000-material warship can serve as a light frigate of the Ning Navy and perform maritime patrol missions.

And it can enter the inland river, which is much stronger than the 400-material battleship. The shipyard plans to build a 3,000-material main battleship, and needs to enter into exploratory experiments.

The previous Four King Kongs served as Cheng Shijie's escort warships.

Cheng Shijie looked at Zhu Weiti and smiled: "Do you like it?"

"like!"

Although Zhu Weiti is a landlubber, he does not get seasick. In fact, many people who are not accustomed to water do not get seasick either.

Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "If you like, you can give this ship a name!"

"naming?"

Zhu Weiti asked in confusion: "Why do you want me to choose a name?"

Cheng Shijie smiled lightly and said, "Because I gave this ship to you."

"Give it to me?"

Zhu Weiti was a little confused: "Why did you give it to me?"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said: "When we arrive in Liaonan, everything is complicated and I don't have time to accompany you. If you want to go back to the capital, then take this ship and you can come back at any time!"

Zhu Weiti understood that this was Cheng Shijie's compensation for her.

On their wedding night, Zhu Weiti thought Cheng Shijie was just drunk, but on the second night, he did not go back because he had an excuse to be at the Haiguogong Mansion in Daxing County.

Later, he basically stopped meeting with Zhu Weiti on the excuse that he was tired and had things to do. Later, Cheng Shijie directly spoke frankly with Zhu Weiti.

Tell her that he has a wife named Xiang Hui. Now that he doesn't know Xiang Hui, he can't betray Xiang. I hope she can understand.

Zhu Weiti understands Cheng Shijie because she knows that her marriage to Cheng Shijie has a strong political connection, that is, Li Kangfei has vaccinated her in advance, and if she cannot let Cheng Shijie accept her, her life will be very sad.

Zhu Weiti is very confident that she will never become Chongzhen's spy, nor will she become Emperor Chongzhen's puppet, trying to influence or control Cheng Shijie.

She is very confident that Cheng Shijie will accept her one day.

When Zhu Weiti heard that Cheng Shijie gave her this ship, she didn't think too much and just smiled and said: "Let's call it Le'an!"

Le'an is Zhu Weiti's title. It was given to her by Emperor Chongzhen, but she didn't like what Chongzhen gave her. After thinking about it, she changed her mind and said, "Then call it the Eighth Princess!"

"Eighth Princess!"

What Cheng Shijie gave Zhu Weiti was just a ship, but it was not a warship in the true sense because the ship was not equipped with artillery or soldiers.

The ships and sailors are all workers at the Lushun Shipyard, and are temporarily controlled by Cheng Shijie's personal soldiers.

Cheng Shijie said: "Let your people come over and get familiar with this ship first. From now on, this ship will need your people to control it!"

Zhu Weiti shook her head: "Let your husband's people come!"

She was more willing to trust Cheng Shijie's people than those given to her by Emperor Chongzhen.
