On the 11th year of Wanli, on the third day of the sixth month, it was late at night in Puli City.

Ming Dynasty businessman Geng Qi, who had just been married for three days, and two sailors were assassinated by many people in the dark streets and alleys four hundred steps away from the Ming Chamber of Commerce Hall. His screams alarmed the five Muye soldiers who were guarding the streets and then chased the killer.

The two Muye soldiers were shot and killed by crossbows in pursuit. Another killer used a pistol to shoot at a long distance and failed to hit the target. The sound alarmed the Ming Chamber of Commerce Hall and the Muye Town Camp across three streets. The police in the city immediately followed.

The deceased Geng Qi is a businessman who has a workshop in Changsheng for firing glass. This time he went to Puli with the army to escort military funds. In addition, he was also looking for a market. He just bought a great shop in Puli City and sold glassware on the ship.

Glass was an emerging industry in the Ming Dynasty, with a large market demand. Because it has the foundation of burning glass, the technology developed especially quickly, and it easily broke the blockade of European glass technology by Venice. However, because glass was not novel in the Ming Dynasty, it had a strong competitor. The largest glass seller in the Ming Dynasty was Beiyang Research Institute. Due to its low cost and simple manufacturing, the price was suppressed very low.

Therefore, if ordinary merchants want to make money by relying on this, they still have to go out to sea. Asia also has an Oriental suppression market. In the past, Geng Qi mainly sold Luzon in the South China Sea and Borneo countries. This time, when Master Cao opened a new map for the Oriental Military Mansion, he took the opportunity to escort military funds to take a walk of the business path.

The merchants and sailors of the Ming Dynasty had white skin and were hygienic. They were rich in the eyes of the people of Pride, especially when dealing with women, they could easily give them the rouge powder that no noble ladies could use, and they were generous and well-educated, and were deeply favored by the barbarians.

There are many people like Ren Ping, showing mercy everywhere, but Geng Qi is a reliable person. He sincerely made a flirt with the daughter of Yilijun merchant in Puli County, and sent a matchmaker to the door with a gift, which made his father-in-law so happy that he couldn't stop. The Ming matchmaker married a wife, which made people laugh at him and didn't care.

As a result, his wife had another suitor, also the son of a merchant. She tried to study in a monastery in her early years but did not become a monk. On the day of her wedding, she came to her house to duel with Geng Qi.

Not only did the Ming Dynasty not have this tradition, but it was a great offense to destroy Taiwan on a happy day. On that day, several small Beiyang flag officials and their subordinates immediately tied them up and drove them out and beat them up.

Such disgusting things are considered light. If they are in their southeastern hometown, a few villages and people in several surnames may not be able to do so, a large-scale fight will trigger blood feud.

People in no matter where they are in the world have their own taboos. If they are civilized enough, they will follow the local customs. If they are not civilized enough, they will fight.

In fact, most of the time, who has the final say on who has the final say depends on who has the right reason.

At this time, people's perceptions of the so-called Puzhou were different. The people of Puli County believed that Puli belonged to them, while the people of the Ming Dynasty believed that Puli belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

There are too many such disputes, and young people are inevitably angry.

So on a night after drinking, this bloody case occurred.

It should have been a personal grudge-if no one was scared.

That night, the suitor was captured, and another killer was shot by a crossbow and fled. The news was reported to Yingming. The general of Puzhou immediately ordered the city gates to be closed and the river was blocked, and the criminals were searched from door to door.

Killing people, the people who killed the Ming Dynasty were still killing them. This was a very serious bloody case.

The soldiers from Muye died and used several weapons, so things became even worse.

He asked Ying Ming to think about it that night, but he couldn't think of how bad things could be.

But immediately after the gunfire from the city changed his mind.

A neighbor in the west of the city was named Xin'anfang by Cao Changqing. Two Jiazhen led 50 Makiya soldiers to raise fire on the street and search for the killer's traces. The Jiazhen on the left side of the street met the owner of a house and opened the door late. When he was alert, the subordinate of the Jiazhen on the right side of the street was suddenly shot with a long bow by several people on the wall of another house.

Immediately afterwards, someone rushed out to fight with them, and then fell into a melee between the streets and alleys.

"Later, some barbarians shouted in the streets, and many people ran out with swords and shouted for killing. Seeing that the situation was not good, we had to retreat and use the excuse of setting up defenses to wait for reinforcements."

Listening to the report from the Mai Ye Army Chief at the intersection, Wei Jinzhong, who came to support him with two Beiyang cavalry flags, tied the horse's reins and frowned, and reached out and asked, "Do they have firearms?"

The armored length reported truthfully: "There are a few short guns, not many, and many bows and arrows."

Wei Jinzhong looked up at Mao Yueliang hanging in the sky and sighed: "It's no longer a matter of one or two people dead. There was a sound outside the guild hall, and all the demons and monsters were blown up. Some people in the city wanted to rebel."

"Don't panic, they are easy to defend but difficult to attack in the courtyard wall. Let's block it for the time being. The general is opening the arsenal of the two generals and counterattack when the grenades come."

The people living in the east of the city are all from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Chamber of Commerce Hall and the Lao San Camp of Muye Town are all there, which is peaceful, but the west of the city is different.

He fought with the patrol soldiers on two streets. When Wei Jinzhong came over, he collected thousands of arrows in the church. Several blacksmiths found an order form for forty muskets and two muskets about to be made.

The one who placed the order was Bishop Puli.

Now this bishop has been caught by Lao Qiao, a former Catholic monk who has been converted to the Dragon and Tiger Daojun, who has been arrested by Lao Qiao, who has been converted to the Dragon and Tiger Daojun. Lao Qiao is the Chinese name he gave him in front of the portrait of Long and Tiger Daojun on the day he converted to the letter. His surname is Lao Qiao, and his name is Lao Qiao.

As Wei Jinzhong said, there was a sound outside the guild hall, and all the demons and monsters came out.

In fact, the loyal and virtuous Wei Si didn't know what was going on. He felt that the atmosphere in the city was not good these days.

He often ran on the street. Although Ying Ming sent him to take care of Cao Changqing, the old Taoist priest couldn't stop. Seeing that he had figured out a new thing, he was trapped in the wounds on his butt, arms and legs and could not move. He told Wei Jinzhong one by one, calling it teaching martial arts.

Master Wei is not interested at all. Who has the time to learn this broken martial arts? Wouldn't it be good to go to a brothel to sleep?

But there is no way. This is the work given to him by General Ying Ming. Please listen patiently. The old Taoist told him that the mysterious things were not heard at all, but he remembered the key point - saltpeter essence, alcohol and silver would explode when they met.

These days, the old Taoist priest asked him to go to the attic of the yamen to pick up some items, and moved the old Taoist priest to the outside of the injured barracks to guide him to make Lei Yin. This kind of thing that explodes at any time was named Lei Yin by the old Taoist priest.

Just do a little at a time, even if it explodes, it will shine and save money.

Basically, they were fried every time. Even if they were done and not fried, they would explode for unknown reasons within the next hour. However, at least Wei Si's multiple experiments made the old Taoist priests more familiar with what they created. They could already make nitr silver first, and then use nitr silver and alcohol to combine thunder silver.

As the name suggests, it is like a thunderbolt.

It was also the opportunity to run from the street that made him feel in advance that there were people in the city who were hostile to them, but at that time, Wei Si did not regard the faint eyes on the street as hostile.

Now he was sure that someone in the city was going to rebel.
