95 Arms went wrong
The sky was just dawning. A cavalry of the Qin army quickly rushed into the Qin army camp stationed near the Great Wall of Zhao. After coming to the camp, he turned over and dismounted. Give it to the general who guards the gate. And left.
This is not an important military report. Rather, it is a piece of music from the camp of the Qin army. The person who wrote this recital was Wei Yu.
King Qin did not sleep all night, mainly because Shang Wen mentioned the arms trade. King Qin didn't know why he did this. Is it because he is afraid that the Qin Jun family will be dominant? Or is there another purpose. Could it be the so-called company? If it is exported, there will definitely be a large number of orders for weapons in that direction. In this way・・・・・・・ King of Qin firmed up his judgment.
Zhao Gao took the piece from the guards, approached quietly, and put it into King Qin's case, and King Qin didn't sleep. All, this point is moving. I realized it all at once.
"Zhao Gao. But there is a concerto. King Qin said while lying on his back.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's Lord Wei's recital." Zhao Gao said respectfully.
Lieutenant Yu has something going on in the rear base camp. King Qin sat up, took the piece and began to read it. After only a few lines, King Qin was stunned. Looking further down, I really can't stand it.
"Quick. Go and invite Mr. Qin to come. King Qin said a little anxiously.
Zhao Gao had never seen King Qin in such a hurry. There was no reaction at first.
"Forget it. Let's go with a widow. Saying that, King Qin had already stood up. But dizzy. The heel did not stand firm. Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward to help. After King Qin stabilized, he began to put on his shoes and hurriedly left the big tent.
The cantata reports a very important thing. At the outset, only a number of firearm accidents were mentioned. The King of Qin saw that this was the result of poor weapon production. But then, Wei Yu found out the source of the accident. The source is that the Xianyang Arsenal no longer has any money to drive the arsenal to start. It has now been largely discontinued. And the last batch of firearms, because the catkins were not used as ignition materials. As a result, the batch of grenades equipped with serious quality problems. Fortunately, the Qin army still had a certain amount of inventory. But that batch is no longer usable. Even more serious were the rockets that occurred remotely, because of the rain on the road, these rockets could not be ignited and could no longer be used. This is a serious logistical problem. King Qin had already realized that the situation was not good.
Now the war against the Hu people in the north is still going on, and at this time, the supply of firearms is cut off. There is also a large number of arms problems. This goes down. The advantage that the Qin army held gradually ceased over time. It's a dangerous thing to do.
After Shang Wen sent the queen of Qin away, he fell asleep. King Qin hurriedly came in at this time. Shang Wen slept so hard that he didn't wake up at all. Seeing this, Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward and called Shang Wen up.
Shang Wen, whose eyes were full of blur, was called out in a daze. King Qin urgently handed over a piece of music from Wei Yu. Shang Wen couldn't understand the recitals written by Wei Yu at all. The main text is Qin Xiaozhen. Now I see the appearance of King Qin. I had to take a look at it reluctantly. Inferred from a few words. Shang Wenwen white. It's a problem with the arms. The problem is huge. Because there are a few words on it, such as rain, arsenal, production stopped, and cannot be ignited.
"What does this mean, Your Majesty?" Shang Wen could only ask the King of Qin through a few words that he could only understand.
"Your Xianyang Arsenal is out of production. There was also a problem with the last batch of grenades. There is no catkins to start a fire. The grenade did not explode. This lot was not used. There are also rockets that cannot be produced and used. "King Qin said king in one breath.
"Mr. Qin, think of a way." King Qin urged.
"This." Shang Wen began to think about the problem without saying a word. Some of these questions are known to me. The first is that there are not many catkins collected in the arsenal. After the production of large quantities of incendiary rockets, they did not dare to produce them anymore. Because, the only remaining catkins can no longer be replenished in time, if they are to be replenished, they must wait until the next year. So, as long as it is discontinued. To solve this problem, we must find a fiber. This fiber can burn as well as catkins. There is also an important issue, and that is funding. The Qin army fought in the north, and the number of firearms consumed was a staggering number. The Qin army had begun to like this powerful weapon. So. It's all over the body. What I don't know now is how much stock is still in the base camp.
Shang Wen looked up at the anxious King of Qin. He said: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't know what is going on with these problems. The minister needs to do some on-site investigation. ”
"Yes. You can, forget it, and the widow will go with you. After speaking, King Qin had already asked Zhao Gao to pass the order. King Qin also left. Shang Wen had no choice but to send King Qin off. Then rub your eyes. I'm really sleepy.
In the Qin army, 5,000 men and horses were driven. The rest was left to Wang Qian. Li Xin led 5,000 men and horses, guarding the king of Qin. This group of 5,000 men returned quickly.
Wei Yi was very busy at this time. Problems with grenades began to be mothballed in large quantities, checked. Especially the latest arrivals. And the rockets that were rained. Wei Yu didn't know what to do. The rockets are powerful. Now drenched in rain. Just take it to dry. But it's gunpowder. It's going to explode. Wei Yu knew the power of this thing. I don't know what to do either. It had to be temporarily sealed.
The troops who came back to sweep the Huns and Hu tribes were clamoring for firearms. Because, now they are using firearms more and more frequently. Proficiency is also becoming more sophisticated. Suddenly no more posted. Instead, they don't get used to it. And his soldiers loved it very much. Especially when the Huns were being suppressed, they rushed into the big tent several times and were caught off guard by the Huns. Qin Jun was very annoyed, but then a method began to spread widely. It's the use of grenades. It doesn't matter if it's anyone or not. I want to throw one away. Those stubborn Huns were instantly killed and stunned. The Qin army generously went in to get people. Now suddenly it's not available. All the soldiers, on the contrary, were a little worried.
For a time, generals from many directions gathered in the big tent. What they need is a weapon at their disposal. Wei Yi urgently delivered the news to the main generals. But when the news came. Many of the soldiers began to mumble. Especially those who go on the march. Because of this expedition, the number of firearms used was very small, and some were not replenished. The only firearms. It must be used with caution. The old waste of firepower is starting to recede.
