Chapter 279 Finalize the standard equipment of the Qin army!
Yang Ze couldn't help but feel nervous about this. As the treasure in the eyes of the Ministry of War was useless in the eyes of His Majesty?
Ying Chang walked back to the platform with a blank expression, without showing any nostalgia or stunning look, which made more than 30 blacksmiths and many officials of the Ministry of War awkward. He thought His Majesty would be very happy to see these new weapons, but he did not expect to have no reaction at all.
Ying Chang gently sat back on the black dragon throne, looking around everyone with a expressionless face, which made the atmosphere of the Qilin Palace depressed. The officials of the Ministry of War became even more nervous, and Yang Ze was extremely confused. He couldn't figure it out. None of His Majesty could look at so many new weapons?
"You are leaving for the time being. After I discuss with the ministers, I will inform you of the results!" Ying Chang said to the many blacksmiths with a smile.
"As for the order!" More than 30 blacksmiths responded together, and then left the Qilin Temple one after another with disappointment.
After many blacksmiths left, Yang Ze couldn't help but walk out of the queue and saluted Ying Chang, asking in a hesitant tone; "No one of His Majesty can look at so many new weapons?"
After Yang Ze finished speaking, the eyes of many ministers also looked at Ying Chang with confusion. Obviously, what Yang Ze wanted to ask was exactly what they wanted to ask.
"I have seen all the new weapons. They have their own uses and advantages. Only the three weapons of the ring-headed sword, fish scale armor, and dragon-patterned shield can be used as standard weapons. Although the other weapons have obvious characteristics, they are not suitable for large army installations and are only suitable for personal use!" Ying Chang said calmly.
Huh ~
Yang Ze and other officials of the Ministry of War breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, His Majesty also took a fancy to three new weapons.
Next, Ying Chang discussed with his ministers for nearly half an hour and finally decided on the style of the standard equipment.
Cavalry standard equipment: fish scale armor, ring-headed knife, dagger, horse spear, short crossbow!
Standard equipment for sword and shield soldiers: fish scale armor, ring-headed sword, dragon pattern shield, short crossbow, dagger!
Crossbow soldiers’ standard equipment: fish scale armor, ring-headed knife, dagger, eight-stone crossbow, short crossbow!
Standard equipment for spearmen: fish scale armor, ring-headed knife, spear, dagger, short crossbow!
Heavy cavalry: dragon pattern heavy armor, horse spear, short crossbow, dagger, ring-headed knife!
The five basic arms of the Great Qin Dynasty, including short crossbow, fish scale armor, ring-headed sword, and dagger, have become the standard weapons of all arms, and each army has its own unique weapons. Once these weapons are truly equipped with the entire army, the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire will be equipped to the teeth!
The protection ability of the fish scale armor is seven or eight times that of ordinary chain mail, and the eight-stone crossbow cannot shoot through at a distance of fifty steps, which is equivalent to light and heavy armor, but the cost is seven or eight times that of ordinary chain mail, or even ten times.
The dragon-patterned shield is also an upgrade of the Qin army's shield. The surface is covered with a layer of copper skin, and the copper skin is printed with dragon patterns. The inside of the copper skin is iron sheet, and the inside of the iron sheet is iron wood. Ordinary blades cannot be split at all. No matter how close a strong bow crossbow is, it cannot penetrate. Except for the chariot crossbow that can shoot through the dragon-patterned shield, the dragon-patterned shield is almost invincible, but the same is true. The cost is several times that of ordinary shield soldiers, and the weight is not much different, because the dragon-patterned shield uses the latest training technology.
The ring-headed sword is also an upgrade on the blade. It is lighter than an ordinary sword and is simpler to wield. Its ability to cut and kill armor is top-notch. Its ordinary chain mail can be broken at one touch. Of course, its cost is several times that of an ordinary sword.
"The military's standard weapons are settled, and the departments of the Ordnance Department mainly produce weapons. The Ministry of War must also give me a detailed monthly production budget as soon as possible. I want to know how long it will take for our army to install all these equipment!" Ying Chang looked at Yang Ze with a solemn expression and said.
"I obey the order!" Yang Ze responded with a respectful expression and then retreated to his position.
"What else should I report?" Ying Chang asked with a glance around the ministers.
"I have something to do to report!"
Prime Minister Chang Zifei, who had been silent, finally stood up.
"Accurate!" Ying Chang replied softly.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Wei Empire has changed drastically!" Chang Zifei wrote a solemn report.
Ying Chang frowned suddenly, and said in a somewhat hesitant tone: "The Wei Empire has changed a huge change? What a huge change?"
Don’t think that the great changes in the Wei Empire have nothing to do with the Qin Dynasty. You should know that the Wei Empire is the overlord of the Jiuzhou. Its huge changes can affect the situation in the Jiuzhou. It is precisely because of this that Chang Zifei reported to Ying Chang that if it were other empires, they might have just talked casually and would not have mentioned it in this Qilin Temple at all.
This is what is called "the big tree attracts wind". No matter what happens, it will be valued by the Kyushu countries.
"On the first day of the first month of the nine-month calendar, which is the first day of the first month of the eleventh year of the Great Qin Saint Qin, the Emperor Wei Emperor of the Wei Empire passed away at the Taidi Palace of the Zhongtian Imperial Capital. What is surprising is that the new emperor is not the prince of Wei, but the King of Liang of Wei!"
"After King Liang of Wei ascended the throne, he issued an order to arrest Prime Minister Wei, Prince Wei, Princess Wei, 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. The ending was obviously that King Liang of Wei won, and Prince Wei was defeated and fled!" Chang Zifei roughly told the story of what happened in the Wei Empire.
When the ministers heard this, they frowned and tried hard to think about the problems, but no matter how they thought about it, they could not think of the problems. Isn’t it normal? Every empire has experienced a lot, which can affect the situation in Jiuzhou?
"What are the disadvantages of this matter to our Great Qin? What are the advantages?" Ying Chang asked with a frown.
Before Chang Zifei could reply, the censor Chang Qing stood up and faced Ying Chang with a respectful expression and replied: "Your Majesty, I was studying in the Wei Empire and had dealt with the Prince of Wei, King Liang of Wei, and both of them had won over me. Therefore, I have some understanding of them, and I am not talented and have a good relationship with Prince of Wei!"
"Things are not simple!"
"yes!"
When the ministers heard these words, they knew that things were not as simple as palace changes.
Ying Changmashita replied calmly, "Continue talking!"
"The Prince of Wei is kind-hearted and does not like to conquer. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be a benevolent and sage king. On the contrary, Wei and Liang Wen are extremely pursuing conquer and have strong ambitions. He has always wanted to conquer Jiuzhou and complete the great cause of unification. King Liang of Wei has now seized the throne, and will definitely use a large number of troops to conquer other countries!"
"After the rule of Emperor Wei, the Wei Empire was full of treasury and the empire was stable. With the foundation left by Emperor Wei, the Wei Emperor Liang King launched ten large-scale conquests of millions. Moreover, King Liang King of Wei was not a brave but unscheming person. If the Wei Empire held it in his hand, it would become an extremely terrifying war machine!" Changqing said with a solemn expression.
