    The Black Snake revolver, with a caliber of 15mm and a weight of 2.1kg, was made by the Ming Empire in the Three Kingdoms time and space with reference to the drawings of the Python pistol given by the modern time and space.  In the early days of the empire, due to the insufficient production and processing capabilities of state-owned enterprise groups, many of the scientific and technological achievements that Li Zhe brought from modern time and space were difficult to realize. Li Zhe had to auction some of the relatively simple technologies and the technical drawings of their achievements at low prices.  It was sold to some small private machining groups at a reasonable price, and certain technical support was provided to them, which further promoted the diffusion of technology among the people of the empire and greatly accelerated the progress of the overall technological capabilities of the imperial society!

    ¡°However, due to the lack of sufficient technical support, many of the ideas at the time were just ideas. The production and processing technology of the python revolver was one of them, and it has never been produced.  But later, with the breakthrough chemical invention of mercury fulminate, the development of flash cap technology and the popularization of integrated ammunition processing technology, this technology was finally successfully used in a private factory in the empire, Fenghuo.  Copied and became the famous Black Snake revolver in the private arms industry of the empire.  It was able to be mass-produced and received strong praise from the market as soon as it was launched!

    "Black Snake" is the starting point of the first revolver during the Ming Empire. It is a double-action revolver that can fire directly.  Of course, for the sake of safety, most of the usual 6-round cylinders are filled with 5 rounds, leaving an empty position to prevent the occurrence of fire accidents. At the same time, the center-folding design makes loading more convenient, thus  Very popular with consumers.

    Due to the insufficient processing capacity of private enterprises, this pistol has greatly reduced the difficulty and cost. It still uses black powder as the propellant. Therefore, although it has a caliber of 15mm, the range is only about 40m.  Of course, for users, a shooting range of 40m is enough. Beyond this distance, few people can shoot accurately with a pistol.

    The emergence of this cheap pistol also directly caused the proliferation of civilian firearms in the empire. Its popularity reached the point where almost every citizen of the empire had one. According to later data from the Arms Regulation and Control Department of the Imperial Ministry of Industry, Black Snake revolvers and  The production scale of its subsequent models reached the order of billions fifty years after its advent.  Fenghuo has thus become a well-known private arms company among the people of the empire, and its prosperity will never decline!  This unprecedented data is obviously related to the empire's relatively loose weapons management regulations at this time, and it also promotes the prosperity of weapons research and development in the entire civilian arms industry.  It laid a solid foundation for the subsequent vigorous explosion of local folk talents in Imperial Fire!

    The model in Yan Yingyuan's hands at this time was officially purchased by the Ming Empire in Time and Space No. 2, and was assigned to all the direct execution personnel of the Intelligence Department under his command. It was used to deal with complex situations such as conflicts between indigenous people and even small-scale civil gangs at this time.  , I don¡¯t know if other people like it, but it¡¯s obvious that Yan Yingyuan is very used to it!

    After catching the people from Datong Commercial Bank and Tianjin Wei Carriage and Horse Racing Company, Yan Yingyuan and the local intelligence personnel stationed in Tongzhou conducted a surprise investigation overnight and quickly got the real situation. This batch of goods contained grain, tea, cloth, viscose  The supplies are destined for the northern pass.

    As expected, there were big fish among the people who came to pick up the goods from Tianjin Wei Carriage and Horses. Among the people contacted by Yu Youcai, there were actually several Jurchens. The leader among them was the one who was knocked down by Yan Yingyuan at the beginning.  Yue Tuo was seriously injured!  According to the information from the Ministry of Intelligence, Yue Tuo is a real Jurchen dignitary, a general of the Donglu, and the direct nephew of the current slave chief Taiji!

    At this point, the situation suddenly became clear. The Tianjin Guard Car and Horse Company was an intelligence agency stationed in the mainland by personnel from the Eight Banners of the Han Army in the early days. It had been lurking in the mainland for many years. Behind the Datong Trading Company was the Ming Dynasty's intelligence agency.  A group of nobles and dignitaries are maintaining it, and one of the people noted in the official archives is Han Yanguang, the former governor of the Left Army Governor's Office and now an ordinary senior government official!

    It can be seen from this that anyone who has anything to do with these two firms will definitely not be able to escape this connection!  Such major cases of smuggling arms and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country cannot be uncovered, but once they are made known to the world, it will definitely be a big deal with heads rolling in and rivers of blood flowing!

    Yan Yingyuan immediately telegraphed to Tianjin, Beijing and other places to explain the situation. On the one hand, he directly submitted it to his superiors. He would work with the Tongzhou police to directly seize the Datong Trading Company and all its warehouses in the city, and search for all Datong Trading Company members!  All of a sudden, the city was in chaos. Datong Trading Company, as one of the most important trading houses in the Ming Dynasty, with influence all over the north and south of the river, and a monopoly business power with countless nobles standing behind it, suddenly collapsed!

    And Yan Yingyuan returned to the capital and participated in the ransack of Han Yanguang's home non-stop. Most of the soldiers rushed into the Han family's compound. Han Yanguang had no time to react. He only did one thing in the emergency. He took off the newly issued clothes of the Ming Empire.  I put on the court uniform of the Ming Dynasty again. Then, I stood in my courtyard, pulled out my sword and shouted to the sky!

     "Your Majesty! Our Han family has tried our best!"

    With that said, with one stroke of the knife, his life was ended!

    Another big boss found out from the Han family's transaction records, who was once a famous official all over the world, the cabinet elder Qian Longxi, encountered the siege of soldiers when he was serving in the cabinet. The old gentleman,  As soon as he saw the instructions from the Ministry of Punishment, he immediately knew that something had happened. He stood still and pointed at the people watching around him, laughing and saying:

    "Haha! You traitors and thieves who are helping the tyrants to commit evil, just wait! Your doom is coming, I will take a step first, and I will wait for you under the Nine Springs!" After saying that, the seven holes were bleeding, and he passed away with a smile on his face.  As he spoke, he had already taken Hedinghong and committed suicide!

    The fall of these two families set off the prelude to great turmoil in the capital. While causing a turbulent situation in the capital, the Intelligence Department's investigation began to continue in depth. Following the relationship network of these two families, a huge human relationship network was discovered in the Intelligence Department.  It is gradually spreading before our eyes that not only the business world, the political circles, the elite scholars, and the famous merchants are all included in this list, but also behind the increase in food prices and the unwillingness to sell the food, several other business houses in the capital are also inseparable.  relationship.

    What¡¯s even more terrifying is that the events in Shanxi and Shandong seem to be related to this incident. It can be seen from the private accounts of Datong Trading Company found by the Han family.  Three days before the descendants of the Kong family issued the statement, the entire half-interface store business of Datong Trading Company in Jinan Prefecture was transferred to Qilu Lianghao, which was supported by the descendants of the Kong family!  Obviously, what was called a shocking political statement by a descendant of the Kong family turned out to be a disgusting exchange of huge benefits!

    As for Shanxi, it specializes in business on the grassland all day long. It almost monopolizes several trading houses in the northwest trade of the Ming Dynasty. Its purchases of grain, cloth and salt from the mainland are all traded with several mainland trading houses, led by Datong Trading Company.  The relationship behind it with the Mongols on the grasslands and even the Manchus in the northeast has always been unclear.

    The investigation continues step by step causing panic in the whole city of Beijing!

    "Your Majesty, don't investigate any more. We can't investigate any further. Saints have their own opinions and follow the trend. The general trend of the world is always certain! This Datong Trading Company case has already been too involved.  There are too many. If we investigate them all, once all the officials in the dynasty are gone, it will affect the country!"

    The white-haired Xu Guangqi threw himself in front of Li Zhe's steps, knelt on the ground and cried.

    "Hmph! Guo Ben! Teacher Xu!" Li Zhe walked down, lifted the old guy up from the ground, and asked him to sit down, but he said without mercy at all: "What is Guo Ben?"

    Before Xu Guangqi could answer, Li Zhe continued speaking on his own: "In my opinion, the foundation of the country is me! It is the thousands of people under me! The so-called foundation of the country cannot be obtained by compromise.  Even if I take a step back from the general trend, won¡¯t those people make further progress? Otherwise!

    From the very beginning, the foundation of our dynasty has not been on these nobles and nobles of the previous dynasty, and if we don¡¯t sweep them away, how will my empire free up new houses to bless the world!

    What I saw today can¡¯t wake you up, Xu Aiqing!  These rotten scholars are the direct descendants of saints. However, they only have wealth in their eyes. They bribed half of the shops in the neighborhood and made righteous remarks in the newspapers to oppose me. At this time, their loyalty, filial piety and justice are all gone.  Where have they all gone?  Did they all go into the dog¡¯s belly?

    Haha, I know that these so-called scholars don't actually need an emperor at all. What they need is just a puppet on the stage, so that they can do whatever they want, let them control power from generation to generation, and fool everyone in the world.  If the emperor is disobedient, they will replace him with another one, even if the emperor is from a foreign race, it doesn't matter!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Teacher Xu, this is an open affair with Donglu!  Doesn¡¯t such an obvious example illustrate the problem?  In their eyes, this world has never belonged to the common people and the emperor, but to their own small group of people. This rule has never changed for thousands of years.  It's a pity that today, I have to change this rule, no matter who the saints, Buddhas, monsters or monsters are!  Anyone who stands in my way will be killed!  "

    After saying that, Li Zhe left alone, ignoring Xu Guangqi who was so frightened that his face turned pale!

    The next day, the imperial court announced part of the investigation results of Datong Trading Company. Nearly a quarter of the Kong family in Qufu, Shandong, several merchants in Shanxi, and some court officials in the capital were revealed to be involved in this matter. The end of the report  , it is clear that a case of treason has been filed for the crime of treason with foreign countries. The Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Privy Council have raised their bloodthirsty butcher's knives high. This time, I don't know how many people will suffer!

    "I just want to drive these people to the point of jumping over the wall! Then I can justifiably mobilize the army and catch them all in one fell swoop!" facing Guo JiaZhuge Liang, Zheng Zhilong and other people who knew the inside story said this viciously.

    On March 23, there was a mutiny in Xuanfu Town. Yang Guozhu, the former commander-in-chief of Xuanfu who had resigned from his official post the day before, suddenly led his troops into the local training camp in Xuanfu Town and killed the imperialists.  They went to receive the officers who trained the troops, and used the pseudo-edict of King Qin from Zhu Cihong, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to gather all the surrendered troops in the camp, including more than 30,000 Ming troops from nearby Yutian, Baoding and other places in Xuanfu who were intensively trained here to eliminate the weak and retain the strong.  People, with the slogan of supporting the Ming Dynasty and annihilating the Li thief, rushed towards the capital.  (To be continued.
