Chapter 47 Ordnance Superintendent

After Zheng Ziquan left, the man took these materials and left, but stepped into the front of the palace.

And among the front divisions of this palace, in addition to Yue Chen, the commander of the front division of the palace, there are actually two people standing here, one is Ma Tianji, and the other is Ding Daquan.

But the messenger knew that his task was important, so he immediately presented the information in his hand.

"My lord, these are the information about Zheng Qingzhi. Please take a look at it. ”

It's just that his heart is still full of doubts, and he doesn't understand why this adult wants to let himself do such a thing?

"Oh, I thought it would only take three to five days to get this done, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. Yue Chen opened the information in his hand, his eyes swept over it a few times, the ink fragrance on it had not yet dissipated, and his face was already full of bright smiles, and he said, "This is very good." It is enough to be able to get these materials to bring down Zheng Qingzhi. ”

Ding Daquan, who was standing on the side, was a little strange and asked, "Why is this to bring down Zheng Qingzhi?"

"You don't understand?"

Ma Tianji glanced at Ding Daquan sideways, his chin was raised high, revealing a sense of rebellion, and he complained: "Not long ago, Xiao Feng of the Red Phoenix Army came to visit, did you forget about it? Stimulated by this Red Phoenix Army, the official family was ready to abolish the forbidden army and reorganize military discipline, and it was Dong Huai and Zheng Qingzhi who handled this matter. If they are allowed to dig deep like this, sooner or later it will be moved to General Yue's head. ”

Ding Daquan nodded slightly, and then he showed a look of understanding, and then moved his gaze to Yue Chen, and walked up and down with scrutinizing eyes: "Oh? The surprise in his eyes was not concealed.

After all, the one in front of him, but the grandson of Yue Fei in the past, is the standard Zhongliang queen.

And the fact that he did such a thing that violated the ancestral teachings is also an eye-opener.

"Exactly. ”

Yue Chen nodded, his face turned a little annoyed, and then said with a righteous face: "And you also know that our army is at its peak, and there are as many as one million soldiers with armor. If it weren't for the protection of these soldiers, how would we be able to have today's prosperity? As for the military system, if it weren't for the arrangement of the sages, how could we ensure the safety of the people? But those two people wanted to shake the foundation of the country? Do you think this kind of behavior should be stopped?"

Ma Tianji shouted: "Naturally, it should be stopped." And they must not be allowed to succeed. ”

Immediately after, Ding Daquan also began to pat the horses and said, "That's right. Why don't those guys understand? In the past, if it weren't for the efforts of the forbidden army and the national disaster, how could there be the prosperity and health of today's dynasty? However, these two people wanted to destroy the forbidden army, and such an act would certainly not be able to escape the crowd. ”

"That's why I'm asking you two to do my best, hoping that they can give me a hand and move them to a different place. Yue Chen handed over to the two of them, and then repackaged the information and sent it to the two.

Ma Tianji was naturally extremely proud, and replied with his head bowed: "Entrusted by General Yue, how dare Devo give up easily?

"That's right, when the time comes, the two of us will make a move, how can we allow the other party to have the slightest possibility of respite? General Yue, you are waiting for Hou Jiayin here. Ding Daquan's smile was even brighter, as if he was looking forward to seeing Yue Chen's desire to help him in the future, and then soar to the sky to take charge of the imperial court.

The two agreed, and immediately prepared to start going to the Vertical Arch Hall to present the matter to Zhao Yun.

Ministry of War, Ordnance Superintendent.

Walking here, Dong Huai's eyebrows furrowed.

These days, he has been secretly probing the situation in the forbidden army, even to avoid being discovered, and deliberately ordered his subordinates to pretend to be ordinary people, so as to reach a relationship with those members of the forbidden army, and see if he can find some clues from them.

No, in the action of casting a wide net, I really found something.

That's why Dong Huai rushed here overnight, in order to avoid those guys who tried to hide some things, so that he could really understand the truth.

"What's in this warehouse?"

Pointing to the warehouse in the distance, Dong Huai looked sideways at the soldier next to him.

The little soldier was a little nervous, his eyes dodged, but he looked at Lu Wende, as if he was asking for help.

Lu Wende also frowned and asked, "Lord Dong asked you something, why don't you say it quickly?"

Dong Huai looked very bored, and shouted again: "Tell me, what is in here." ”

The little soldier's body was shocked, and he quickly straightened his body, raised his voice, and replied: "Tell the general, all of them are longbows!"

"Open. Let me see what the quality of the longbow is inside?" Dong Huai's expression was indifferent, and he pointed his finger at the warehouse in the distance, and there was no rejection of what he said.

In desperation, the little soldier had to slowly pac to the front of the warehouse, tremblingly opened the warehouse, revealing the contents inside, and then looked at Dong Huai pitifully, as if he wanted to know what to do next.

Dong Huai was disgusted with this person's procrastination, and his body had already broken into it, holding three longbows in his hands.

It's just that when he looked down, he immediately frowned, just because the longbow was really in poor condition, not to mention that the bowstring was too rough, and the bow body was also full of cracks, making it difficult to imagine how this kind of weapon could be used on the battlefield?

"Is this the weapon you made?"

Turning to the side slightly, Dong Huai swept over the restless head and supervision in the distance, already extremely angry.

Nazuotou's eyes were frightened, and he raised his head slightly, but when he saw the sharp gaze, he felt very uncomfortable and lowered his head, and explained: "Nowadays, most of the craftsmen have been transferred to make firearms and guns, and the remaining craftsmen are unskilled, which is why they have this appearance. ”

"Firearms, guns, these firearms are powerful, but if the weapons are judged by their merits, they cannot replace bows and crossbows. Moreover, most of the people in the army are accustomed to bows and crossbows, and it is difficult for them to adapt to how to use firearms, at least without corresponding training, they will not be able to use them at all. I know your eagerness to forge firearms, but you can't completely cut off the manufacture of bows and crossbows. If the sergeant does not have any weapons in his hands at that time, what should he do?" Lu Wende was also a little annoyed, and he blamed him for doing it.

He is a soldier from the front line, so he naturally knows how much a good weapon can do.

But these bows and arrows are obviously not good products.

"Hmm. The two lords, although this bow and arrow is indeed a little rough, it is only because of poor storage, so there are some problems. But I believe that their performance is still certain. But the head was not reconciled, and continued to argue.

"Oh?!"

Dong Huai didn't care, snorted coldly from his snort, and ordered: "Go and get thirty long arrows, how powerful will I try this longbow?"

Immediately after saying this, someone ran to the warehouse and took out dozens of long arrows.

Then before everyone came to the shooting range, scarecrows had already been erected in the distance, waiting for the test shot. So, the three of them each took the longbow in their hands, and after standing in their respective positions, they aimed at the target in the distance and drew their bows and arrows.

But halfway through the first arrow, it fell to the ground, and the range was only halfway through.

Although the second one reached the target, he did not break through the armor on the scarecrow, and could only fall to the end.

The third one was even more simply, with another "click", the entire bow and arrow completely collapsed, and it was unusable at all.

"Hmph, is this the weapon you made?" Dong Huai swept the people around him, couldn't stop the anger in his heart at all, and opened his mouth to scold: "The official family put you in charge of the weapons superintendent, but let you provide our soldiers with sophisticated weapons. But what? How can you deceive the soldiers with such shoddy things? If this is on the front line, then it is a?"

Lu Wende also dared to be terrified, and shouted: "If it is a weapon made by you, it is such a thing." So what should we do?

It's just a commonplace weapon, and it has been made into this virtue, if it is the turn of the thousand-pound artillery, Dong Huai can't imagine how to do it.

However, this is not something that these foolish guys can do.

"Alas. When did my armament become this virtue?"

Complaining to himself, Dong Huai felt restless in his heart when he thought of the Mongolian army that might come over anytime and anywhere, and muttered to himself: "You must know that when the dynasty was first established, the armament of our dynasty was not bad. 'Whoever manufactures a weapon, looks at it as soon as it is a decade, and calls it a lesson, and the weapons are arranged, so that the weapons are refined and the surplus is abundant. If it weren't for a good supply of weapons, how would my Chao Taizu be able to defeat 800 military states? ”

"I heard that in the Jin Dynasty, all weapons have the name and year of the Yuan Supervisor on them, and in case of damage or misuse, the Yuan Supervisor will be implemented according to the law, and it will not be forgiven. It is precisely because of this that the weapons of the Fan Jin Dynasty have this appearance. Why did this ordnance supervisor become like this?" Lu Wende felt even more strange, and couldn't figure out why it had become like this.

The two of them looked at the head and the supervision together, revealing the meaning of interrogation.

The superintendent was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a haunting voice: "Since I took office, I have never seen a forbidden army send someone to inspect. ”

"No one is coming, so you're just going to let it go?"

Dong Huai snorted coldly, and his words became angry: "No matter how you shirk it, just based on these things, it is not too much for me to kill you directly." Tell me who is responsible?"

"This, I dare not say!"

The head was also speechless, and his expression was even more worried.

Dong Huai saw that these people were always spitting, and he felt extremely angry, and opened his mouth to threaten: "Is there anything you can't say? Otherwise, do you have to force me to kill you?"

He found that for these guys, the ordinary way of speaking did not make sense at all, and only by scolding and scolding could they move a little, but it was only for a moment, and then they would fall into a stagnation again, without the slightest anger.
