Context from Novel

"Chapter 106: Military Athletics Xi Yazhou's cadre training focused on the militia. A militia could serve as an armed force and, after thorough education, become a reserve pool for grassroots cadres—modern China's rural grassroots cadres had basically come from the ranks of military veterans. This approach had proven effective. Currently, salt-village tasks were growing heavier. The salt workers, seeing the big iron ship delivering grain and cloth plus armed newcomers, felt more secure. Scattered"

"Chapter 107: Gou Family Manor (Part 1) While the salt-field work team was making excellent progress, preparations for the "hunting operation" against Landlord Gou were also well underway.

"Chapter 122: Guangzhou Trip (Part 2) Sea trials had proven encouraging. Under full sail with the wind at her back, the ship could manage roughly twelve knots—the engines adding little to that figure. What they did provide was vastly improved handling, a blessing for transmigrators who possessed precisely zero experience with hard sails. "At the very least," Lin Shenhe summarized, "we'll have a major advantage when sailing into headwinds." Beyond propulsion, the vessel had undergone extensive mod"

"Chapter 124: Guangzhou Trip (Part 4) The future that Xiao Zishan sketched for the Qiwei Escort Bureau amounted to restructuring it into an armed freight company. Late-Ming social order was already crumbling, and long-distance transport without armed escorts had become impossible. Sun Kecheng sat dumbfounded.
