Always beat rabbits

Always beat rabbits

However, the kindness of dressing in time is just an appearance, perhaps only out of personal cultivation.

Wang lived in Haizhou during this period. As she lived for a longer period of time, she became more and more afraid of Shipeng. This was not because Shipeng gave her a look or embarrassment. Under Huang E's conscious manipulation, Wang rarely met Shipeng. However, when Wang went out to the streets or had sex with female officials, she had already felt the power of Shipeng. Many times, when her carriage encounters trouble, once people near the carriage know that the carriage belongs to Shi Dalang, their first reaction was to constantly confess their innocence.

The urban scoundrels in the Song Dynasty were very powerful. When Bao Zheng was aware of Kaifeng Prefecture, he was also troubled by urban hooligans. Although Bao Zheng hated them so much, these scoundrels were best at "being reasonable but not forgiving others". Every time Bao Zheng had a conflict with the gangster, he always happened to be unreasonable - of course, when the urban hooligans were unreasonable, they often did not provoke you. So although Bao Zheng hated them so much, he was helpless.

The urban hooligans in Haizhou City will never dare to provoke Shi Dalang regardless of whether they are in charge or not.

The attitude of the people in the city is just fine. Whenever Wang talks with the officials, the officials' families immediately take a slant and listen carefully. At first, Wang is proud, but later he figures out that they are afraid of Shi Chuan.

When a wealthy family lives at home, they are always inevitable to deal with the people in the city. Due to the strict ethics, the restraints of women seem extremely unsatisfactory. For example, if a girl goes out on the street and does not follow her family, the gangsters will come and take advantage of it. You can't help but sue the official. The other party only receives fifteen spine, but your girl will lose her reputation from then on.

In addition, a woman's money bag is a close friend. When she goes out to the street, it doesn't matter if the money in the bag is lost, but if someone takes it out and says that your daughter has an affair with her - whether others believe it or not, the girl's reputation will be ruined, so the stolen money bag is often accompanied by blackmail. Wang once encountered several female relatives coming to hand over to help solve such small problems. After this happens, basically, when Wang talks to Huang E, the matter can be solved immediately.

The city gangsters even had a headache for the former famous minister Bao Zheng, but they were afraid of Shi Dalang. When they felt this, Wang's pride gradually changed. Then she learned that after fighting Jinmao Rat, Haizhou City never established a decent underworld organization. Relying on the idle flower sack on Zuoxie Street, Shi Chuan organized a dense patrol team. The city foxes and rats caught often beat boards in the street, and then... Then this person may disappear forever, and even the neighbors on both sides could not tell where their family was.

Occasionally, Wang would also inquire about how the city foxes and rats disappeared. He learned that the dog did not bark that night, and when he pushed the door the next day, everything at home was fine, but the person disappeared... Then, this person was included in the missing person.

Occasionally, someone mentioned that a group of flower-armed men passed by that night, and later the flower-armed men carried the boxes on board - but the Song Dynasty did not have a curfew, and it was not a crime to carry goods in Hua-armed men. As for the ship... the ships that were transported by Hua-armed men at night would basically sail to sea morning. Are people hiding on the ship? - wait for the ship to come back and check it.

Occasionally, Wang would ask how to retrieve the money bag. Most of the answers he got were: After checking the Gangyi and the City Fox Club Rats who appeared on the street that day, then found... Then, Huang E had casually talked: These City Fox Club Rats would be sent to Daliuqiu, or even further away Danluo Island for "labor transformation", and basically they would never appear in Haizhou again.

It turns out that if you offend the county magistrate, you just get beaten up. If you offend Shiteng, you will have to go to the barbarians to serve torture... No wonder those urban hooligans occasionally offend them and have to confess their love.

From then on, when Wang met Shideng again, he always felt that there was something creepy in the other person's smile. Looking back at the day when he was in the capital, he was arrogant in front of Shideng, who was unknown to him... Wang couldn't help but be glad that he was still a "relative" of Shideng.

Therefore, the identity of relatives must be captured... Also, this person is very revenge. The person who offended him, even if he was a Juren - Oh, after the Luo Wang incident, Wang changed it to "even if he is a Jinshi master", and he would be worse than death.

Wang's perception first made his children know, and then inevitably spread to his concubine's son and daughter, and Huang's father's outdated concubine... Then, Shi Chuan found that every time he met Huang E's family, even if he smiled the most enthusiastically on his face, the other party kept trembling and couldn't even say anything.

This time, Wang's reaction was no exception. Shi Chuan grinned, Wang seemed to be greatly wronged, and tears were rolling in his eyes. Shi Chuan had to quickly move and said to Huang E: "After I leave, Cuizhuang will implement martial law. You send swords and guns to all your servants, and if you can trust them, you will be given muskets. In the past few days, the first one must be refugees. Don't go out - in places where you can't see them, refugees will also rob."

Huang E watched Heifu put the box down, and she walked over and opened the box lid and pulled it out: "Brother, has the mesh gun sent to Ling Peng out?"

Shi Chuan replied: "Ling Peng has already replied. After he took the rifle gun, he began to set off to Lord Zhang Shuye's army, and asked us to send the trained gunmen over... I had already asked them to set off just now. According to Ling Peng, he was not the only one who played with firearms in Zhang Shuye's army, but also people used bamboo tubes to install gunpowder and iron sand to make a spike musket. Usually these bamboo tube guns are put in luggage like thunder in the palm of their hands. If there is anything, they will be taken out and ignited to scare the war horses and drive out the infantry.

It is said that Lord Zhang Shuye thinks that this kind of bamboo-tube striking musket is cheaper to make, and Ling Peng's coercion is expensive and the firing speed is slow, so he intends to make a large-scale striking musket to serve as an auxiliary to the crossbow... I thought, since fiddling with firearms under Zhang Shuye's nose is not a taboo, then the hundreds of regiments I equipped to train arming and only be responsible for protecting my hometown should not be a big deal.

Alas, for three thousand years, although there have been various dynasties, all courts have "strictly guarded" their own people and are particularly tolerant of the enemy. Even the most tolerant Emperor Song is no exception."

After pausing for a while, Shi Chuan continued, "Ling Peng also said in the letter that the strait musket made of bamboo tubes is not very powerful. He planned to rush to Zhang Shuye's army to show the power of Ling's firearms to Dayin, so that Zhang Zhizhou knew the difference between the two... Hehe, Zhang Shuye is a loyal dog of the court. Ling Peng tried every means to refuse the recruitment of the imperial military weapon surveillance. If Zhang Shuye knew the power of Ling's firearms, he might have to go to the military weapon surveillance. Since the court will sooner or later know the power of the musket. It is nothing for us to equip a thunder and fire soldiers in advance in advance, and it will be covered up as soon as possible."

Huang E sighed: "Since my brother said that...well, my brother always has a way, so let E Niang do the rest. My brother has to do something for E Niang's father."

Shi Cheng looked at Huang E for a moment and said, "From tomorrow, the workshop will be on holiday, and all the young and strong in the workshop will distribute weapons - just treat it as a preview of the formal war. Let them start to learn to defend their homes. Notify Duan's blacksmith shop that from today on, they will be able to make weapons at full capacity, and all the distributed weapons will be registered, but they will not need to be taken back. Those who know how to bow and crossbows ask them to contact the crossbows and practice shooting in segments according to orders; those who know how to bow and crossbows learn to throw thunder in the palm of their hands...

I will set out tomorrow morning and take 100 Yier Camp and four of Cuizhuang to train. Sixty Leihuo soldiers to Shuyang may help your father."

Huang E's knees bent slightly and made a blessing gift: "Everything has been entrusted to my brother."

Shi Chuan turned and nodded to Wang. Because he didn't know how to say hello, Shi Chuan nodded and was about to leave immediately. He said without saying a word: "Shi Yanei set off tonight, and the bandits did not come to Haizhou County, and rushed back to Donghai first. Now he may be saying goodbye to Miss Cui, so I'll say hello."

Huang E gave a blessing gift and said goodbye, then greeted the black servant: "Open the box and distribute the weapons now... Stepmother, you can also take a knife..."

Only then did Wang dare to gasp loudly. She stepped forward and asked carefully: "E Niang, Dalang just mentioned the firearm, and his expression was very serious... I occasionally heard people lifting firearms and saying that there are divine fire arrows, hundreds of tiger arrows, turquoise cabinets, thunderbolt fireballs, thorny fireballs, poisonous fire crows, gunpowder whip arrows and so on... "

Wang paused for a moment and looked around timidly. He found that there were black servants around who couldn't understand Song Yu. She became brave and continued: "There are only two types of firearms for my son-in-law. I often hear some family members talk about it, saying that it is surprisingly powerful, but, just two types of firearms, can it work? The Liangshan bandits have been thriving for many years, and the son-in-law goes alone..."

Wang stopped talking in time - the ancients paid attention to the mind and various taboos. When they were about to go out, if Wang said something "ominous", he would feel sorry for the son-in-law who went to fight.

Huang E thought about it and asked, "Stepmother, I have been in Haizhou for the past few years and I have rarely heard of things outside - the imperial court has conquered the Liangshan gangsters, have I ever used firearms?"

Wang replied quickly: "Yes - Liangshan gangs are hiding in Luoma Lake and often harass them. Your father is very worried, so he has also investigated the situation of Liangshan gangs. It is said that the court used Dengzhou Tuanzheng and Dengzhou Navy, and also used Qingzhou Tuanzheng to fight. Among them, there is also a firearm in Qingzhou Tuanzheng, who is good at rainy rain pear gun."

"What's the result?" Huang E asked calmly.

Wang thought it was strange that the Liangshan River gangsters came, their name was that they could stop children from crying in Shandong. Why did they wear clothes and go out to fight? Huang E seemed so leisurely - how could she be so confident in her man?

"When Qingzhou regiment was practicing fighting against Liangshan River gangs, the firearms could not be fired, and the entire army was wiped out; Dengzhou regiment commander Hu Yanchuo, and the navy commander Yizhang Qing Zhang Heng, were defeated by Liangshan River gangs repeatedly. The court was harsh and Hu Yanchuo and Zhang Heng surrendered to Liangshan River gangs." Wang replied. "It is said that Dengzhou parade is also good at firearms, and so many of their firearms were still defeated by Liangshan bandits, my son-in-law..."

Huang E stared at the servants one by one and went forward to take away the weapons, and said calmly: "My brother once talked about firearms. Later, the Ling brothers also talked about the situation of firearms in the court. They said that although the firearms in the court were diverse, the refining technology could not keep up, resulting in insufficient power and insufficient gunpowder reserves. It was expensive to prepare, with many steps and took a long time, so there was no reserve when it was time to use.

The ingredients in gunpowder, among which sulfur is good. The imperial court purchased twenty-five ships of sulfur from Japan every year, which is enough to prepare gunpowder. But saltpeter is a big difficulty. There are seven kinds of things named after nitrate in ancient books. My brother said that in fact, many things are not considered "nitrogen", but the word "stone" comes from "stone" and "zodiac". In ancient words, "orice that can become smaller and thin" can be called "nitrogen". Pure nitrogen, Glauber's salt, fire nitrogen...

The saltpeter refining technology cannot keep up, resulting in many gunpowder just 'gunpowder' and no explosive power at all. In some gunpowder formulas, the added saltpeter is not fire-smell, and even fireworks cannot emerge. Therefore, the Song Dynasty knew about firearms a hundred years ago, but it has not yet regarded firearms as serious weapons..."

After a moment of pause, Huang E continued: "Langjun's apprentice is from the Ling family of Mizhou firearms. The firearms he played with earlier were similar to the thunder fireball. Langjun said that Ling's thunder fireballs were slightly more powerful than the official system because he added the stubborn component. Later, Langjun guided him to distinguish stubborn and increase the stubborn component, which made the Ling family in Mizhou become more and more famous... This is because his family's reputation for playing with stubborn firearms, Zhang Dayin wanted to recruit him into the army. Although Ling repeatedly refused, he could not resist the government."

Huang E's second half of the sentence had a slight schadenfreshing smell, but she was immediately frightened by these words and woke up immediately: "Oh, I have to tell the group trainers that the matter of Cuizhuang equipped with muskets cannot be rumored for the time being, so don't let the government target the government... Ah, my brother said something like 'Prevent and defend his own people' just now, maybe this is what I mean."

Wang understood that the musket he wore in Shishi was different from the official system of the rifle musket. It was a sharp weapon that killed people. Just after this idea changed, she was also reminded by Huang E's words and quickly persuaded: "E-madam, then you can remind your son-in-law, and let the group trainees use swords and guns instead."

Huang E sighed and replied: "It's not impossible to have swords and guns, but it's just that the Liangshan gangsters came. They used swords and guns to resist. I don't know how many people would die in this battle. Only with muskets, they could fire from afar, preventing the opponent from riding a horse to rush to the front of them, and killing Zhuang Ding... I heard that they moved very fast, and Shuyang had already broken three villages. If the husband took swords and guns, if he couldn't resist, the young and old in our village would inevitably suffer wars.

Alas, Cuizhuang is a well-known wealthy village in the distance. The team of the husband who sent the husband to his marriage is huge and slow. If the husband does not hold a musket, he cannot guarantee that all the men must enter Shuyang. If Cuizhuang does not equip muskets, the bandits will inevitably rob Cuizhuang if they ask a little... Oh, the housekeepers come and go out and explain to their father and brother, don't show the muskets in front of others. This is a powerful weapon to protect the family. Whether you let the bandits know or the government know, it will be bad for everyone."

Huang E doesn't live in Cuizhuang very often. Cuizhuang's housekeepers are all commanders. When she was anxious, Mo Shao ran in with the corner of her skirt. Fu Yili reported: "Sister, it has been agreed before. Twenty-nine Niang will walk from the wharf with Shi Yanei tonight, take a boat to Tongzhou, and Ling Fei will escort them all the way; Eleventh Niang's carriage has been nailed on iron plates, and will be escorted by Langjun tomorrow morning, and will go south along the main road. Those dowries cannot be taken away. Langjun means to exchange them for silver and flying tickets and put them in his arms first..."

After Mo Shao finished reporting on the preparations for the marriage, Huang E quickly explained the confidentiality. In order to alleviate everyone's concerns, she added lightly: "Actually, tell them that this is not a big deal. For example, the government has always prohibited the scattered crossbows from being scattered among the people, but now the bandits, Qi, does not hide a few crossbows? The court has always opened its eyes to such bans. Our Zhuangzi is big and is famous for being rich. How can we defend it by relying on Zhuangdeng with swords, guns, sticks and sticks alone? Without any weapons of interest, wouldn't it be a man to be a slaughter, and I can't do it."

Mo Shao added: "That's right, there are now 3,500 people in our village, and the houses are so wide that there are only 200 team training. Liangshan gangsters ride horses fast, and it's not possible here. There are no good weapons in the village. The village is still the village households who are affected - don't worry, sister, I will definitely warn them to shut up."

Huang E nodded: "We have a large village. Many families have built their houses in the fields, and they are lonely and difficult to guard. Let me tell you when you go back and talk about it. Those families who live alone outside should not go back to the fields these days, and they will move to schoolhouses or ancestral temples of various ethnic groups. If you stay in the village and suffer disasters, the village will find ways to compensate - the Liangshan Kou who comes to kill people without blinking and destroy their whole family at any time, tell everyone not to be lucky.

Also, tell them: the husband of the Langjun has decided to defend the enemy from outside because he is worried about the gang being harassment from the village, so he picks up the bandits and gets away from the village. He wants to drive the bandits away from the village. You tell the family members of the Tuanlian family to let the family members tighten their mouths. People attack for the safety of the whole village. Not to mention the outcome, if the news that is improperly leaked, the whole village will be affected. For such people, the village must drive them out afterwards to avoid disasters... "

The same words continued in Cui Xiaoqing's house. After Shi Chuan talked about the situation in Shuyang County, he continued: "This is an opportunity to integrate the power of the village and carry out militarization control of the village households - now, there are more and more chaos outside, and in the village, everyone's houses are too scattered. I intend to take this opportunity to rectify the village..."

At present, the owner of Cuizhuang is still Cui Xiaoqing. She pondered and asked: "How is your husband going to start?"

Shi Chuan replied confidently: "The first thing is to build an 'emergency shelter'. The entire village originally lived in six families - now there are five families. The employees in our workshop are not counted. Four of the large households have their own ancestral halls. In the future, these ancestral halls will be emergency shelters. Each family must reserve certain grain and grass in the ancestral halls and dig a deep well for emergency response.

In addition, the tenants of the five surnames and the workers of the workshop must also be re-arranged. In recent years, Tuanjian’s home has opened workshops randomly and built dormitories and houses for hired workers. I hope to plan them in a unified way, imitate the dormitory form of my workshop, build a circle around the village, such as connecting the exterior walls of the house, repairing them around Cuizhuang, and building them into a defensive facility..."

"Wait a minute, are you talking about Bagua Village?" Chu Suzhen interrupted: "I heard that some mountainous areas in Fuzhou and some large families living in Lingnan have built such Bagua Village. The outer edge of the village is a circle of stone houses. These houses are all rows of buildings. Although there are passages on both sides of each house, once closed, the outermost circle becomes a city wall.

It is said that there are also large families who build sentry towers, bell towers, and defense facilities such as bows, crossbows and arrow towers on the outermost roof. Although such a village is called Bagua Village, most villages have more than eight passages to the center of the village. However, the villages built like this look down from a high place, as if they are a Bagua map."

Shi Chuan gave a thumbs up and praised, "It's worthy of being Miss Chu, and it's true that Miss Cui is very knowledgeable. In fact, our village already has the shape of a crude Bagua Village. At that time, Mr. Hai built four small gardens to protect the four sides with Miss Cui's residence as the center - this is the "Four Symbols".

My workshop has been built into an arc shape on the periphery of the "Four Symbols" which seems to have destroyed the entire array map. But the rose garden is a longer arc shape. If the workshop is connected with the rose garden, we will complete three-fifths of the entire "Eight Symbols" and the remaining two-fifths of the land. I hope to discuss with Miss Cui and Miss Cui. No matter who is in the hands of the land, for everyone's safety, I hope that I, or the big villagers in the village, will buy it and build a supporting house to improve the defense of the entire Eight Symbols. After the house is repaired, I will rent it to the employer and tenant, so they don't have to worry about accommodation."

Cui Xiaoqing immediately covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Oh, I can't remember it if you don't say it. Your rose garden is divided into twenty-four parks. Although it is arranged in a staggered manner, when you think about it carefully, it is also arranged according to several main lines. The center is the glutinous yard in front of me."

Chu Suzhen blinked and added: "By the way, there is a school between your rose garden and the workshop, and the Wuxiang Tuanzhuang Headquarters... If you consider the buildings carefully, it seems that with a little repair, you can connect them to the rose garden to form a complete gossip map."

Shi Chuan's expansion of Cuizhuang was further based on the initial layout of Mr. Hai. The two girls praised each other and made Shi Yanei, who was standing by, feel very proud. But he immediately thought of his missing brother-in-law, and his expression became a little sad: "Okay, okay, whether it is the Four Symbols or the Gossip, this village is too big, and it is not easy to guard... Dalang, your rose garden covers an area of ​​300 acres and the courtyard wall is long. There are only a few gardeners in the courtyard. Once something happens, even a gardener stands within a hundred feet and feels it is not enough. How should you guard it?"

Before Shi Chuan answered, Shi Yanei suddenly remembered something again and asked: "Dalang, you say, counting the time, my brother-in-law should start from the West now? Why do I think that some time ago, there were so many rumors that the fleet returned from the West would have to enter the port in just a few days? My brother-in-law...isn't he really on the boat?"
Chapter completed!
