Zhang Cheng, who consumed a lot of calories and protein because of paying public food, went to the kitchen to find some meat to heat it up and replenish energy. After eating and drinking, Zhang Cheng remembered that he hadn't visited the territory of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and he didn't know the subsequent development after selling a large number of semi-automatic rifles there. He could take advantage of the time now, it would be better to go and check it out.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng threw out a plate and said, "Open the sesame." The plate composed of nanorobots instantly formed a space-time door in the air. Zhang Cheng shook his body and changed into a set of clothes and stepped in.

The concept of time itself is an illusion, called time and space are almost the same - space is distorted = time and space are distorted. The passage of time that people can feel is actually caused by spatial changes. When the universe stops expanding and the moment the space begins to collapse, the concept of time will also disappear. Of course, humans may not be able to see that day.

When he arrived at a gun shop in Yangzhou at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Cheng ignored the hot selling guns and ammunition on the counter outside, but looked through the account book in the backstage. In fact, he used an electronic notebook to read the summary of news from various places.

First of all, the good news is that the power of wild boar skin disappeared from the Northeast. Although wild boar skin was very angry and defeated the Ming army after the rebellion, the Northeast was still a social system with Han people occupying the absolute majority as the main body of the society. After mysterious weapons shops selling a large number of semi-automatic rifles appeared in various places, various massacres and harsh policies of wild boar skin were met with strong resistance in various places.

Often, a village joint defense team equipped with dozens of semi-automatic rifles can make a Niu Lu, a snatching team under Wild Boar Seed, return in a desperate situation. Even if Wild Boar Seed and his descendants mobilize a large army to approve this food-resistant village, they will suffer several times of losses.

At this time, the number of Han people in the Northeast was millions and tens of millions of Han people, while the wild boar skin forces, together with men, women, young and old, were only tens of thousands. The later generations of wild boar skin and his descendants integrated the Jurchens and ethnic minorities from Tungus to Liaodong. The population was only one million. The price was that the large number of ethnic minorities in these places disappeared and finally fell into the hands of Russian colonists.

Wild Boar Skin and his descendants saw the power of the semi-automatic rifle with their flesh and blood and life, but for Wild Boar Skin and his descendants, riding horses and shooting archery was their foundation, which was the reason why Kangxi exiled Dai Zi: riding and shooting cannot be lost.

Even if the Wild Boar Skin and his troops replaced the semi-automatic rifles, they only smoothed out this advantage. Going to the countryside to grab grain still has a lot of threats. However, changing into the semi-automatic rifles requires a lot of money. The wild boar Skin tribe who made a living by fishing and hunting was not full of food, so there was no extra money to change into the clothes. Several times of force robbery at the gun shop suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the force of the gun shop was limited to self-protection and no revenge was carried out.

In the end, after losing a large number of tribe members, the wild boar skin had to make a decision to communicate with the Turkic tribes of the Huns. Since it was impossible to go south, the ice field was in the north and the sea was in the east, so we would join forces with the Mongolian tribes who had recently gone south to plunder and repeatedly frustrated.

If the wild boar skin is just not many new firearms in hand, at least one batch has been snatched from the Ming army, and privately bought some against the ban on wild boar skin. The Mongolian tribes still maintained the tradition of bent bows and shooting eagles during the Genghis Khan period - this is even more automatic for the upper half.

What scared the Mongolian tribes was that many knights were beaten to death but did not grab enough food and cloth during the white disaster. In winter, a large number of livestock people froze to death and starve to death. Faced with the kindness thrown by the wild boar skin, they accepted it half-rejected.

As for how the Manchu and Mongolian tribes with some advanced weapons can harm the Middle East and Europe, Zhang Cheng can't control it.

What made Zhang Cheng even more ridiculous was Chongzhen. Although this Ming Dynasty's king of the fallen country has no threat from bandits and Manchu and Mongolian tribes, he still ended up in the second year of Chongzhen, which was difficult to deal with the Forbidden City.

The Ming Dynasty, especially after Zhang Juzheng's death, finances were always a problem, and even more so in the Chongzhen period. Tianqi had a Wei Zhongxian to help plunder. Commercial tax was basically not equal to the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the Ming Dynasty could at least collect millions of taels of agricultural tax, but since many semi-automatic rifles were added among the people in recent years, the agricultural tax of millions of taels could not be collected.

Since ancient times, farmers have always had a tradition of tax resistance. In the past, they just had insufficient means. The effect of tax resistance with sickles and hoes was not as good as semi-automatic rifles. Often, the yamen runners holding swords, guns and sticks often scatter when they entered the village and heard the sound of gunfire. Everyone was a cheap business of yamen runners to fill their stomachs, not to fight desperately.

If the tax is not collected, the court will have no money. If the court has no money, who will work hard for the court? So after Chongzhen ascended the throne, he discovered this unsolvable vicious circle. Although Chongzhen spent the treasury left by his brother to arm some of the Shenji camp and Jinyiwei with semi-automatic rifles, the scale was too small and could barely defend the safety of the Forbidden City. He was even more powerless to do anything about memorials that would like to ask for money like snowflakes in various places every day.

The unlucky one was not just the ruler of Chongzhen. The vassal kings, nobles and landlords who occupied a large amount of land in various places could not collect rent. Many tenants who noticed the power of the six-component guns would rather exchange grain for the six-component guns to resist the resistance tax after harvesting, than hand over their labor fruits and take their family to eat wild vegetables and bran bran.

For those vassal kings, nobles, and landlords, they often choose to save their lives when facing the six-company guns that are life-threatening, even if they are also equipped with the six-company guns, facing the threat of life.

There are even cases of former dog-legged robbing, killing their masters and even occupying their former masters' property in various places. This also makes the remaining landlords more careful when choosing armed guards. Simply put, those who have no interest links and no blood relationships are no longer trusted.

Many officials from all over the country, including Beijing officials, fled back to their hometowns. The court's salary could not be paid, which was nothing, but when the plundering area encountered strong resistance, the local officials' oil and water, including the filial piety to Beijing officials, became a passing cloud. When everyone saw that the Ming Dynasty officials had done their best, they should take the remaining money in the treasury home to live a life of one volume. The officials who were still sticking to their posts basically had nothing to do, but they were unwilling to be able to recover their costs after decades of hard study.

Now, various separatist armed forces were formed in various parts of the Ming Dynasty with village party, clan and kinship as a link. These large and small armed forces were equipped with a large number of second-generation semi-automatic rifles and pistols in succession.

These forces are either allied or confronted, and wars of all sizes are underway every day. The reason why no one openly raised the anti-flag flag is just because the time has not come yet - everyone seems to know that there are new firearms everywhere. For a local powerful faction, it is not too much pressure to destroy the soil enclosures of several villages. It is not impossible to open one or two county towns and grit their teeth and endure some losses.

But the problem is that when the firepower is equal, it is not easy to supervise the battle and use such a tactic. In addition to effectively wasting some bullets on the other side, the final cost of the company is still the one who has to fight for. However, for all forces, they have to fight for six consecutive wars. Even if they win, they will kill one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred themselves. Their own capital is just a little bit, and they are used to settle down. Who cares about the fields and houses of the elderly, weak women and children in the family?

Therefore, fighting is a fight in various places, but except for some who have a grudge or to seize water, the scale of the battle is generally controlled within a controllable range.

Frequent wars or small-scale wars broke out frequently in various places, but basic commodity exchanges should still be possible - taking the most basic salt grain as the places where grain produces may not produce salt, and salt produces may not produce grain. Grain and salt are obviously necessities of daily life. People cannot survive without food and salt. This requires commodity exchange. But now all over the country is in chaos as it is in Afghanistan. Various battles and even small wars broke out in markets in various places.

Some people suddenly discovered that shooting within 500 meters of gun shops set up in suburbs in various places or using other methods would be counterattacked by gun shop security personnel. This discovery turned the outer periphery of gun shops in various places, which originally had only some congee shops in various places into various lively markets. The gun shop security personnel didn't care about this situation. Anyway, there were people who fired at people or gun shops within 500 meters of gun shops and were responsible for killing them.

It’s not that no one has ever been greedy for the wealth of gun shops, but these people are often shot in the head. Gun shops in various places are not just selling but not buying. According to the procedures set by Zhang Cheng, gun shops will give priority to the money obtained from selling guns and ammunition according to the level: first, jade, jewelry, second, celebrity calligraphy, calligraphy, antiques, official kilns, porcelain, folk kilns, fine porcelain, etc. Third, gold, fourth, grain.

The first three things were Zhang Cheng’s needs, and the food was needed by Zhang Cheng to set up porridge shops in gun shops in various places to provide disaster relief. In the old society, all the rich people with social responsibility would set up porridge sheds to provide disaster relief. This is no essential difference from the modern rich people doing charitable donations.

After various temporary, civil and brick shops were built in the neutral area within 500 meters of the gun shop, the neutral area of ​​the gun shops in various places flourished unprecedentedly. At first, it was just a market where nearby residents issued transactions. Later, various casinos, hotels, restaurants, brothels and other restaurants entered the neutral area of ​​the gun shops in various places. At least it was safe enough, and those who had started first would undoubtedly die. People who were unable to work could also drink porridge and live.
