179 Broken copper and iron
……
Gao Shiren and Jiang Fanghe, the two chief eunuchs, accompanied by more than a dozen attendant eunuchs, trotted all the way to the armory out of breath.
"Director Gao, Director Jiang, you two are here just ......" Smelling the two eunuchs who were drunk and commotionous, Gu Qian couldn't help pinching his nose and frowning, and said to the two, "This prison army wants to ask you, does the official of the gate of this armory have the right to go in and find out?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Gao Shiren immediately pointed at Gu Qian and scolded, "How can the Royal Ordnance Department allow you to enter as soon as you say, Gu Qian, what do you think you are?" Have you flaunted your might in your territory? Hmph, don't look at what kind of place this is! ”
"You're such a big!" Gu Qian snorted violently, shook off Gao Shiren's finger pointing at him, and said loudly, "This official is the emperor's canonized rebel army supervisor, you little eight-grade master dares to shout in front of this official, believe it or not, this official will commit the following crimes, and you will be killed on the spot!" ”
Gao Shiren had seen this kind of chill, and he was immediately frightened by Gu Qian's momentum, so he could only point at Gu Qian in horror and couldn't help but say the word "you", but there was no substance.
Jiang Fanghe was also taken aback, he knew that Gu Qian was a hard stubble who didn't eat hard and soft, but he didn't expect that the real person was far more difficult to deal with than the rumors, and he dared to be so domineering on the royal territory, which made him quite uneasy.
"For the time being, I'll be soft first, and then I'll find my father-in-law to settle the general account with him later!"
After making up his mind, Jiang Fanghe immediately changed his face, smiled at Gu Qian and said, "Master Gu, you are angry, you are not sensible, I bumped into you, and I can't compensate you......"
Gu Qian glared at them, turned his face away in disgust, and then looked at the armory gate and said, "This officer wants to check the state of the armament, and quickly open the door!" ”
"This ......" Jiang Fanghe glanced back at the library door and said to Gu Qian in embarrassment: "I don't know why the adults are so anxious to inspect the armory?" ”
Gu Qian said angrily: "This official wants to check the general situation of the armament in the army!" Hurry up and open the door! ”
Jiang Fanghe thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Lord Gu, without the emperor's edict or Lord Jin's edict, I'm afraid you won't be able to open the door for you, after all, ......"
"Just open the door!" Gu Qian ignored them, and said in a tone that could not be refused, "If something goes wrong, this official will bear it with all his might, open it!" ”
Seeing Gu Qian's resolute attitude, Jiang Fanghe and Gao Shiren were inconvenient to obstruct, after all, the supervision army of the Great Zhou did have the power to inspect the ordnance baggage to ensure the needs of the army.
"Then all the consequences will be borne by you, my lord, open the door ......"
Jiang Fanghe took out the key, sent back the guards who were blocking the door of the warehouse, and opened the door of the armory with a shudder, and Gu Qian immediately stepped in under their guidance......
As soon as they entered the armory, a peculiar smell immediately came to their nostrils, making Gu Qian and several of his entourage frown, and stretched out their hands in front of them and fanned them.
"Your Excellency, you can watch as you like......"
Gao Shiren said to Gu Qian with a slightly nervous expression, and his tone couldn't help but start to tremble, but fortunately, Jiang Fangyi grabbed his hand and signaled him to calm down.
Gu Qian came to a pile of bundled spears, ordered someone to untie the rope, took a handful of them casually, and suddenly threw them out of the warehouse, and the spear roared past and pierced a wooden stake standing outside the door.
"Hmmm......"
Gu Qian nodded, expressing satisfaction, and then came to a table with a pile of knives, picked up a waist knife and stretched out his fingers to flick it, and immediately made a crisp and pleasant sound.
Gu Qian's expression softened a little, and he looked at the waist knife in his hand and muttered: "Yes, it is made of high-grade fine iron, the edge is thick, and the weight is sufficient, it can break the armor ......."
After putting the waist knife back in its place, he came to the corner where the arrows were stacked, looking at the dense white feathers like a sea, Gu Qian exhaled in his heart, the situation didn't seem to be as bad as he thought, maybe today's drill was just some ornaments for drills......
After inspecting a few more pieces of armor, when Gu Qian was content and ready to leave, he suddenly found that the situation was wrong.
He looked at the entire armory, thought in his heart, and asked Gao Shiren and Jiang Fanghe, "Why is there only so much equipment in the warehouse?" Together, these can't even be equipped with a flag regiment, what about other armaments? Where did it go! ”
Gao Shiren and Jiang Fanghe, who thought that they had escaped, were secretly glad that they didn't want to be asked by Gu Qian, so they were suddenly startled.
"My lord, there's a secret door there......" one of the attendants whispered in Gu Qian's ear.
Hearing this, Gu Qian walked in the direction pointed by his entourage, and sure enough, there was a secret door in an inconspicuous place.
"Open!"
With Gu Qian's order, several attendants immediately opened the secret door, and the moment the door opened, a puff of dust drifted out uncontrollably, and everyone who was choking couldn't help coughing.
When Gao Shiren and Jiang Fanghe saw this scene, they sat on the ground weakly, their faces like ashes......
"Sure enough......"
Gu Qian picked up a rusty waist knife, and then took some shoddy spear heads, as well as arrows made of wood, his face was like frost, and he couldn't stop trembling with anger.
The most difficult thing for him to accept is that the leather armor stitched with worn leather, densely packed with countless small holes, there are insects and fleas in it are crawling back and forth, and he has taken a piece of leather armor that has been torn apart like a cloth with a little force, obviously these leather armor are of inferior quality, and they are also leather armor that has not been treated, which can not cause any effective protection to the body at all, but will increase the burden on the body.
Gu Qian took another piece of armor, and with such a pull, all the nail leaves fell off like flowing water, and the rope that bound the nail leaves had already rotted, and many of the nail leaves that fell to the ground were cracked in response, and from the fracture of a piece of nail leaves, there were a lot of impurities mixed in it, and it was already certain that the nail leaves of these armors were of inferior quality, and the lives of the soldiers could not be guaranteed.
Gu Qian held a piece of armor in both hands, came to the two kneeling on the ground with a cold face, fell heavily on the ground, and asked loudly: "Can these weapons and equipment be used?" ”
"Boom la la ......"
But after seeing that Zha Jia fell to the ground, it was scattered like a heavenly maiden's scattered flowers, and there were broken iron blades everywhere, and the debris that bounced up even splashed Gao Shiren and Jiang Fanghe's face.
Gao Shiren was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, you can't blame us for this......"
Gu Qian took out the sword at his waist and pressed it against his head and said, "I don't blame you, do you want to blame the official?" The army is about to go to war, and the armament of the front division of the palace is all these broken copper and iron, is this how your ordnance department treats the soldiers? Hmmm......"
Jiang Fanghe hurriedly raised his head and begged for mercy and said in a thin voice: "Lord Gu, gentlemen, no, the little one knows that he is wrong, but this is really no wonder our Ordnance Division, our Ordnance Department is only responsible for transporting ordnance to the troops in various parts of Gyeonggi, and this is the case when these things are put into storage, and we can't help it, the adults should check the Military Manufacturing Department, right, please ask Lord Gu to see it......"
Gao Shiren also cried and said, "Master Gu Mingjian, ......"
The two eunuchs were crying, kowtowing and making a fuss, which made Gu Qian very irritable.
"Let's go!"
After a long time, Gu Qian pulled a wooden arrow, broke it fiercely, and left the Ordnance Division with a disappointed face......
