Chapter 276: Finalize the Qin Army's Standard Equipment!
Yang Ze couldn't help but be nervous about this, and the treasures in the eyes of the military department were useless dung in the eyes of His Majesty?
Ying Chang walked back to the high platform with an expressionless face, without showing a trace of nostalgia and amazement, which embarrassed more than thirty blacksmiths and many military officials, originally thought that His Majesty would be very happy to see these new weapons, but he didn't expect to have no reaction at all.
Ying Chang gently sat back on the pitch-black carved dragon throne, looking around at everyone expressionlessly, which made the atmosphere of the Qilin Treasure Hall depressing, and the officials of the military department became even more worried, Yang Ze was extremely puzzled, and couldn't understand in his heart, so many new weapons, His Majesty didn't have one to look at?
"You stand down for the time being, and I will inform you of the results after consulting with the ministers!" Yingchang said to the many blacksmiths with a smile.
"Yes!" More than thirty blacksmiths responded in unison, and then left the Qilin Treasure Hall one after another with disappointment.
After the many blacksmiths left, Yang Ze couldn't help but walk out of the queue, saluted to Ying Chang, and asked with some hesitation in his tone; "With so many new weapons, none of Your Majesty can look at them?"
Yang Ze's voice fell, and the eyes of many ministers also looked at Ying Chang with doubts, obviously what Yang Ze wanted to ask was exactly what they wanted to ask.
"All the new weapons, I have seen them, all varied, all have their own uses and advantages, only the ring head knife, fish scale armor, dragon shield these three weapons can be used as standard weapons, although the rest of the weapons have obvious characteristics, but not suitable for the army, only suitable for personal use!" Ying Chang said calmly.
Call~
Yang Ze and other military officials breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, His Majesty also took a fancy to three new weapons.
Next, Ying Chang discussed with the ministers for nearly half an hour, and finally decided on the style of the standard equipment.
Cavalry equipment: fish scale armor, ring-headed knife, dagger, horse lance, short crossbow!
Sword and shield soldiers' standard equipment: fish scale armor, ring-headed knife, dragon shield, short crossbow, dagger!
Crossbow equipment: fish scale armor, ring-headed knife, dagger, eight-stone repeater, short crossbow!
Pikemen equipment: fish scale armor, ring-headed knife, spear, dagger, short crossbow!
Heavy cavalry: dragon pattern heavy armor, horse lance, short crossbow, dagger, ring head sword!
The five basic arms of Great Qin, among which the short crossbow, fish scale armor, ring head knife, and dagger have become the standard weapons of the whole army, and each class has its own unique weapons, once these weapons are really equipped with the whole army, then the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire will be equipped to the teeth!
The protective ability of fish scale armor is seven or eight times that of ordinary chain mail, and the eight-stone strong crossbow cannot be shot through at a distance of fifty steps, which is equivalent to light and heavy armor, but in the same way, the cost is also seven or eight times that of ordinary chain mail, or even ten times.
The dragon shield is also an upgrade of the Qin army's shield, the appearance is covered with a layer of copper skin, the copper skin is printed with dragon patterns, the copper skin is a layer of iron, and the inside of the iron skin is iron wood, ordinary blades can not be split at all, no matter how close the strong bow and crossbow are, it cannot penetrate, except for the crossbow that can shoot through the dragon shield, the dragon shield is almost invincible, but it is the same, the cost is several times that of ordinary shield soldiers, and the weight is not much different, because the dragon shield uses the latest training technology.
The ring head knife is also an upgrade on the blade, it is lighter than ordinary knives, it is easier to wield, the ability to slash and pierce armor is top, ordinary chain mail can be broken at one touch, of course, its cost is also several times that of ordinary knives.
"The army's standard weapons have been decided, and all departments of the Ordnance Department will mainly produce military armor based on standard weapons, and the Ministry of War will also give me a detailed monthly budget as soon as possible, I want to know how long it will take for our army to fully install these equipment!" Ying Chang looked at Yang Ze with a solemn expression and said.
"Obey the order!" Yang Ze replied with a respectful expression, and then retreated to his position.
"What else is there to play?" Ying Chang asked with a glance around the ministers.
"Something to do!"
Prime Minister Chang Zifei, who had been silent, finally stood up.
"Quasi-play!" Ying Chang replied softly.
"Your Majesty, the Wei Empire has changed dramatically!" Chang Zifei made a report with a solemn expression.
Ying Chang's brows furrowed suddenly, and his tone was a little hesitant: "The Wei Empire has changed dramatically? What a sea change? ”
Don't think that the great changes in the Wei Empire have nothing to do with Great Qin, you must know that the Wei Empire is the overlord of Kyushu, and a great change in it can affect the situation in Kyushu, it is precisely because of this that Chang Zifei will report to Ying Chang, if it is changed to other empires, it may only be casually discussed, and it will not be mentioned at all in this Qilin Treasure Palace.
This is the so-called tree big move, and no matter what happens to it, it will be valued by the countries of Kyushu.
"On the first day of the first month of the 37881st year of the Kyushu calendar, that is, on the first day of the first month of the 11th year of my Great Qin Shengqin, the emperor of the Wei Empire, Emperor Wei Uncle died in the Taidi Palace, the capital of the Zhongtian Emperor, and it is surprising that the new emperor is not the prince of Wei, but the king of Wei Liang!"
"After King Wei Liang ascended the throne, he issued an order to arrest Prime Minister Wei, Prince Wei, Princess Wei Chang, Empress Wei and many civil and military ministers, it can be seen that when Emperor Wei died, the palace of the Wei Empire must have undergone a palace change, and the ending was obviously that King Wei Liang won, and Prince Wei was defeated and fled!" Chang Zifei roughly told what happened in the Wei Empire.
The ministers frowned when they heard this, and tried to think about the problem, but no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't think of the problem, isn't it just the palace change, isn't this normal? Every empire has experienced a lot, and this can affect the situation in Kyushu?
"What harm does this have to my Great Qin? What's in it for you? Ying Chang asked with a frown.
Without waiting for Chang Zifei to reply, Du Yushi Changqing stood up, and replied with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, the minister was studying in the Wei Empire and had dealt with the Wei prince Wei Liangwang, and both of them had courtiers, so the ministers knew them a little, and the ministers were not talented, and they had a good relationship with the Wei prince!" ”
"It's not easy!"
"yes!"
When the ministers heard these words, they knew that things were not as simple as palace changes.
Ying Chang frowned loosely, and replied calmly: "Go on!" ”
"Prince Wei is kind-hearted, does not like to conquer, if nothing else, he must be a benevolent and holy king, and Wei Liangwen is just the opposite, extremely advocacious, ambitious, has always wanted to conquer Kyushu, complete the great cause of unification, King Wei Liang has now won the throne, and then he will use troops to conquer other countries!"
"The Wei Empire has been ruled by Emperor Wei Uncle, the treasury is full, the empire is stable, and with the heritage left by Emperor Wei Uncle, it is enough for King Wei Liang to launch ten million-level large-scale expeditions, and King Wei Liang is not a brave and unscrupulous man, the Wei Empire will become an extremely terrifying war machine in his hands!" Chang Qing said with a solemn expression.
