Chapter 313 New weapons arrive at the Great Wall Camp!

Du Changjing smiled on his face, "I know what's going on, let's go and welcome 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 had never said this, which made Zhao Hua unaware of it.

"Ah?" Zhao Hua was stunned again, why did he feel mysterious?

In confusion, Zhao Hua followed Du Changjing away from the commander's tent and walked towards Yingkou. At the same time, Miao Chun, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, presented his official seal and documents, ordering the soldiers guarding Yingkou to let go of the Spurs and release the troops in the Ministry of War into the camp.

The configuration of the Ministry of War was very shabby, and there were no heavy troops accompanying him. There were only a hundred officers and soldiers and more than 2,000 people who were older. The officers and soldiers were responsible for protecting the convoy and the common people were responsible for pulling the cart. This was also a job. In addition to the officers and soldiers who were voluntarily protecting, the common people had to pay for pulling the cart and settled the labor costs according to the distance.

Xianyang City is 800 miles away from Qinbei Great Wall, one hundred miles a tael, and eight hundred miles a day is eight taels, one round and one round a day, and it also includes food and drink. It takes four months. You can earn 16 taels in four months, which is definitely a high salary. Most people can get such a job and laugh for a night.

Seeing wooden carts pouring into the camp, many soldiers who were training were immediately attracted. Because wooden carts were filled with wooden boxes, they didn't look like food or wine, so they couldn't help but be curious about the things on the wooden cart. After all, people are curious about unknown things.

At this time, Du Changjing and Zhao Hua also came over. When Miao Chun, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, saw Du Changjing and Zhao Hua coming, he immediately jumped off his war horse and walked towards them with respect. When the distance between the two was less than five steps, Du Changjing, Zhao Hua and Miao Chun stopped tacitly.

"Miao Chun, the Right Minister of the Ministry of War, met General Zhaolie!" Miao Chun bent down with respect and bowed down to celebrate the ceremony.

He is a newly appointed official and was promoted from the bottom of the board and is Yang Ze's confidant.

Du Changjing and Zhao Hua immediately raised their hands to make a reply. Although Du Changjing's officials were bigger than Miao Chun's, the basic etiquette was not distinguished from the officials who were large or small.

"Thank you all the way, Lord Miao has worked hard!" Du Changjing said with a calm smile.

"It is a blessing for the officials to be able to deliver things to the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. Will the General of the Cavalry inspect the new weapons now?" Miao Chun smiled red and pointed to the box on the wooden cart with his finger.

"New weapons?"

Zhao Hua was stunned again, and then he showed a sudden enlightenment. Finally, he knew the reason why the Minister of War was personally escorting the car. It turned out that he was delivering equipment.

"Of course, I have been looking forward to it for a long time!" Du Changjing smiled faintly and then walked towards the wooden cart. Zhao Hua and Miao Chun followed closely behind.

Du Changjing was both expecting and curious about this batch of new weapons, because the documents sent by the Ministry of War were very encouraging. He did not say any weapons, but only said that it could turn the advantage of the Huns into the advantage of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, and was the most powerful weapon to sweep the northwest desert.

Du Changjing wants to see what new weapon it is that can actually make the Ministry of War speak out loud!

Du Changjing walked to a wooden cart, looked at the wooden box on the cart carefully, and waved to the soldiers watching the show, "Come here, move a box down!"

The soldiers who were called were shocked and hurried to Du Changjing, then carefully carried a box. Seeing the soldiers' careful appearance, Miao Chun couldn't help but smile, "No need to be so careful, the things from the Ministry of War are not so easy to be damaged, haha!"

Having said that, the soldiers carrying the boxes were still cautious.

After moving a box down, Du Changjing waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat. After the soldiers retreated respectfully, Du Changjing pulled out the sword from his waist and opened the lid of the wooden box with one sword, so that the things in the wooden box were exposed to everyone's eyes.

I saw several sets of black armor lying in the wooden box. The armor was pitch black all over, with a surface like fish scales, smooth armor pieces, and a word "Qin" engraved in the center of the chest. There were shawls on the left and right of the armor, protecting the arms, the armor covers the range to the knees, and there was a tiger-patterned belt. The word "Qin" engraved on the head of the belt. At first glance, it was majestic!

"Is this an equipment general or an ordinary soldier?" Zhao Hua looked at Miao Chun. As soon as he said that, Zhao Hua wanted to slap himself. Isn't this nonsense? It must be an equipment general. If he equipment general, how much gold and silver would it cost.

"You are the general!" Before Miao Chun could reply, Du Changjing helped Miao Chun reply.

In Du Changjing's eyes, this kind of armor must be equipped by generals.

Miao Chun smiled on his face, "General, this is a fish scale armor, which is a new type of armor developed by the national craftsmen of the Ordnance Department. A few days ago, it was set as a standard armor by His Majesty. In other words, the fish scale armor must be equipped with the entire army, not only the soldiers of the Great Wall Camp, but all the soldiers of the Great Qin are equipped with equipment, but only the equipment of the Great Wall Camp is given priority!"

"The general and official armor is also a fish scale armor, but the fish scale armor worn by the general has patterns, and each pattern represents a different general!"

"What? Arrange the entire army?" Zhao Hua was stunned and completely shocked.

"What did this adult say?"

"It seems to be saying that this is our armor, not the general!"

"Bad, this lord said that in the future, we will be the same armor as the general, but the patterns are different!"

"Oh my God, I can actually wear such handsome armor!"

The soldiers watching the show were surprised when they heard Miao Chun's words. They had never thought that the fish scale armor was for them before, and everyone started to talk happily for a moment.

Du Changjing was also stunned for a moment, but he soon came to his senses and asked, "How much gold and silver are invested in the Ordnance Department every year?"

Miao Chun fell into a brief contemplation. After pondering for a moment, he replied thoughtfully: "Since the restructuring of the Ordnance Department, the court has invested six or seven million taels of silver every year in the Ordnance Department. It is estimated that it will have to increase it this year, and it should reach eight million taels of silver!"

"Eight million taels, I guess my annual fiscal revenue is not that much. The court is spending all his money on the Ordnance Department so much, so he really spends money on the blade!" Du Changjing couldn't help but sigh, and then took off his tiger-patterned armor and replaced it with brand new fish scale armor!

"You, come and assassinate me!" Du Changjing waved to a soldier.

"Ah?" The soldier who was called was stunned and did not turn around.

"That's right, I just asked you to pick up your spear and stab me!" Du Changjing said to the soldier with a solemn expression.

"this...."

"This general's words are military orders. Do you dare to disobey the military orders?"

In order to dispel the soldier's hesitation, Changjing took military orders to suppress the people.

PS: "Please order all!"
