Chapter 310: New Weapons Arrive at the Great Wall Camp!
Du Changjing had a smile on his face, "Ben will know what's going on, let's go, go and meet it!" ”
A month ago, he received a document from the Ministry of War, saying that he had sent a batch of new standard weapons, but he never said it, causing Zhao Hao not to know.
"Huh?" Zhao Hao was stunned again, how did he feel mysterious.
Confused, Zhao Hao followed Du Changjing to leave the tent and walked towards the camp, at the same time, the right attendant of the military department, Miao Chun, showed the official seal and documents, and ordered the soldiers guarding the camp to let go of the spurs and let the convoy of the military department enter the camp.
The configuration of the convoy of the military department is very shabby, there are no heavy troops accompanying it, only about 100 officers and soldiers and more than 2,000 elderly people, the officers and soldiers are responsible for protecting the convoy, and the people are responsible for pulling the car, which is also a job.
Xianyang City is eight hundred miles away from the Great Wall of Qinbei, one hundred miles and one tael, eight hundred miles is eight taels, one back and forth sixteen taels, but also food and drink, it takes four months, four months can earn sixteen taels, it is definitely a high salary, ordinary people grab this kind of work, can laugh for a night.
Watching the wooden carts pouring into the camp, it immediately attracted many soldiers who were training, because the wooden carts were full of wooden boxes, not like food, nor like wine, so I couldn't help but be curious about the things on the wooden carts, after all, people are curious about the unknown.
At this time, Du Changjing and Zhao Hao also walked over, Miao Chun, the right attendant of the military department, saw Du Changjing and Zhao Hao coming, immediately jumped off the war horse, and walked towards the two with a respectful expression, when the distance between the two was less than five steps, Du Changjing, Zhao Hao, and Miao Chun stopped tacitly.
"Miao Chun, the right attendant of the military department, has seen the hussar general, General Zhaolie!" Miao Chun looked respectful and bent down to salute.
He belongs to the newly appointed officials, who were promoted from the bottom, and are Yang Ze's cronies.
Du Changjing and Zhao Hao immediately raised their hands to salute in return, although Du Changjing's officials were older than Miao Chun, but the salute did not distinguish between officials and officials, which was the basic etiquette.
"All the way, it's hard Miao-sama!" Du Changjing smiled indifferently.
"It is a blessing for the lower officials to be able to send things to the soldiers of Great Qin, does the hussar general check the new weapons now?" Miao Chun smiled with a red smile and pointed to the box on the wooden cart.
"New weapons?"
Zhao Hao was stunned again, and then showed a look of sudden realization, and finally knew the reason why the soldier was personally escorting the car, it turned out that he had sent the equipment.
"Of course, Ben has been looking forward to it for a long time!" Du Changjing smiled faintly, and then walked towards the wooden cart, Zhao Hao and Miao Chun followed closely behind.
Du Changjing was both looking forward to and curious about this batch of new weapons, because the documents sent by the Ministry of War were very appetizing, and he didn't say anything about weapons, only that it could turn the advantage of the Xiongnu into the advantage of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, and it was the most powerful weapon that swept through the northwest desert.
Du Changjing wants to see what kind of new weapon can make the military department talk a lot!
Du Changjing walked to the side of a wooden car, carefully looked at the wooden box on the car, and then beckoned to several soldiers watching the play on the side: "A few of you come here, move a box down!" ”
The soldiers who were called were shocked, and hurriedly ran to Du Changjing's side, and then carefully picked up a box, seeing the cautious appearance of the soldiers, Miao Chun couldn't help but smile and said; "You don't need to be so careful, the things that come out of the military department are not so easy to break, haha!"
Having said that, the soldiers who carry the boxes are still cautious.
After moving a box down, Du Changjing waved his hand to signal the soldiers to step aside, and after the soldiers respectfully retreated, Du Changjing pulled out the sword at his waist and opened the lid of the wooden box with a sword, exposing the contents of the wooden box to everyone's eyes.
I saw several sets of black armor lying in the wooden box, this armor was pitch black, the surface was like fish scales, the armor was smooth, and the word 'Qin' was engraved in the center of the chest, and there were shawls on the left and right sides of the armor to protect the arms, and the armor covered the area up to the knees, as well as the tiger stripe belt, and the word 'Qin' was engraved on the waistband, at first glance, it was majestic!
"Is this an equipment officer or an ordinary soldier?" Zhao Hao looked at Miao Chun, as soon as the words came out, Zhao Hao wanted to give himself a slap, isn't this nonsense? It must be equipped with generals, if it is equipped with ordinary soldiers, how much gold and silver will it cost.
"General's!" Without waiting for Miao Chun to reply, Du Changjing helped Miao Chun reply.
In Du Changjing's eyes, this kind of armor must be equipped only by generals.
Miao Chun had a smile on his face, "General, this is a fish scale armor, it is a new type of armor developed by the national craftsmen of the Ordnance Department, a few days ago, it was designated as a standard armor by His Majesty, that is to say, the fish scale armor is to be equipped with the whole army, not only the soldiers of the Great Wall battalion, but also the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty will be equipped, but the Great Wall battalion is the priority equipment!" ”
"The general's armor is also fish scale armor, but the fish scale armor worn by the general has a pattern, and each pattern represents a different general!"
"What? Equip the whole army? Zhao Hao was stunned suddenly, completely stunned.
"What did this lord say?"
"As if to say, this is our armor, not the general's!"
"Fart, this lord said, in the future, we will have the same armor as the general, but the pattern is different!"
"Oh my God, I can wear such handsome armor!"
The soldiers watching the play on the side were pleasantly surprised when they heard Miao Chun's words, they had never thought that the fish scale armor was for them before, and they all talked happily for a while.
Du Changjing was also stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses, and then couldn't help asking: "How much gold and silver does the imperial court invest in the Ordnance Department every year?" ”
Miao Chun fell into a short period of contemplation, and after pondering for a while, he replied thoughtfully: "Since the restructuring of the Ordnance Department, the imperial court has invested six or seven million taels of silver in the Ordnance Department every year, and it is estimated that it will have to be added this year, and it should reach eight million taels of silver!" ”
"Eight million taels, it is estimated that my Great Qin's financial income in a year is not so much, and the imperial court is so willing to invest in the Ordnance Department, it is really spending money on the blade!" Du Changjing couldn't help but sigh, and then took off the tiger stripe armor on his body and replaced it with a brand new fish scale armor!
"You, come and stab the general!" Du Changjing beckoned to a soldier.
"Huh?" The soldier who was called was stunned and did not turn around.
"That's right, it's just to call you, pick up your spear and stab the general!" Du Changjing looked at the soldier with a solemn expression and said.
"This...."
"The general's words are military orders, you dare to disobey military orders?"
In order to dispel the soldier's hesitation, Du Changjing took the military order to suppress people.
PS: "Order it all!" ”
