Chapter 95: There is a problem with the arms

It was just getting bright. A Qin army cavalry quickly rushed into the Qin army camp stationed near the Great Wall of Zhao State. After arriving at Daying, he turned over and dismounted. Give it to the gatekeeper general. Left.

This is not an important military report. It was a memorial from the Qin Army camp. The person who wrote this memorial is Wei Liao.

King Qin did not sleep all night, mainly because Shangwen mentioned the arms trade. King Qin didn't know why he did this. Is it because you are afraid that Qin Jun's family dominates? Still another purpose. Could it be that so-called company. If once exported, orders for weapons will definitely emerge in that direction greatly. In this way... King Qin strengthened his judgment.

Zhao Gao took the memorial from the guard, approached it in a low voice, and put it into King Qin's case. King Qin Ken did not sleep. All, this little bit of movement. I noticed it all at once.

"Zhao Gao. But there is a memorial." King Qin said while lying on his back.

"Yes, Lord, it is the memorial of Master Wei Liao." Zhao Gao said respectfully.

What is Wei Liao doing in the rear base camp? King Qin sat up and took the memorial and began to read it. After only a few lines, King Qin was stunned. Looking down, I really can't stand it anymore.

"Quickly. Go and invite Mr. Qin." King Qin said anxiously.

Zhao Gao had never seen King Qin so anxious. There was no reaction at first.

"Forget it. It's better to go." As he said, King Qin had stood up. But dizzy. The heel is not firm. Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward to help. After King Qin stabilized, he began to put on his shoes, and hurriedly left the big account.

The memorial reported a very important thing. In the beginning, only some firearm accidents were mentioned. King Qin saw that this was the result of weak weapons production. But then, Wei Liao found out the source of the accident. The source is that the Xianyang Arsenal has no money to drive the arsenal to start construction. Production is basically discontinued now. The last batch of firearms did not use catkins as a pyrophoric material. As a result, the batch of hand grenades equipped had serious quality problems. Fortunately, Qin Jun still has a certain amount of inventory. But that batch is no longer usable. What is more serious is 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 has realized that the situation is not good.

The war against the Husbands in the north is still going on. At this time, the supply of firearms is cut off. A large number of arms problems have also emerged. This way down. The advantage that Qin Jun occupied gradually ceased with the passage of time. This is a very dangerous thing.

Shangwen sent Queen Qin away and fell asleep by himself. King Qin hurried in at this time. Shangwen slept so badly that he didn't wake up at all. Upon seeing this, Zhao Gao quickly stepped forward and called Shang Wen.

Shang Wen, whose eyes were blurred, was called out in a daze. King Qin urgently handed a memorial to the dazzling memorial. Shang Wen couldn't understand the memorial written by Wei Liao at all. The main text is Qin Xiaozhuan. Now I see the appearance of King Qin. I had to reluctantly take a look. Infer from a few only words. Shang Wen understands. This is a problem with arms. This problem is big. Because of the rain, the arsenal, the suspension of production, and the inability to ignite a few words.

"My lord, what does this mean?" Shang Wen could only ask King Qin through only a few words that he could understand.

"Your Xianyang arsenal has stopped production. There was a problem with the last batch of grenades. There was no catkins to ignite. The grenades did not explode. This batch was not used. There are also rockets that cannot be produced and used." Qin Wang said in a breath. king.

"Mr. Qin, think of a way quickly." King Qin urged.

"This." Shang Wen began to think about the question without saying a word. Some of these problems are known to me. First of all, there are not many catkins collected by the arsenal. After producing a large number of incendiary rockets, they dare not reproduce them. Because the remaining catkins can no longer be replenished in time, if they are to be replenished, they must wait for the coming year. So, just stop production. To solve this problem, a fiber must be found. This fiber can burn as well as catkins. There is also an important issue, and that is funding. The number of firearms consumed by the Qin army in the northern battle is an astonishing number. Qin Jun has already begun to like this powerful weapon. and so. Carry all over your body. What I don't know now is how much inventory is left in the base camp.

Shang Wen looked up at the anxious King Qin. He opened his mouth and said: "My lord, the minister still doesn't know what's going on with these questions. The minister needs a field visit to do it."

"Yes. You can, forget it, and the widow will also go with you." After saying that, King Qin had let Zhao Gao pass the order. King Qin also left. Shangwen had no choice but to give the King of Qin a gift. Then rubbed his eyes. Really sleepy.

Five thousand men and horses were drawn out of the Qin army. The rest is left to Wang Jian. Li Xin led five thousand men and guards around King Qin. This five thousand horses returned quickly.

Wei Liao was very busy at this time. The grenades in question were sealed up and inspected in large quantities. Especially the latest batch. And the batch of rockets that were caught in the rain. Wei Liao didn't know what to do. This rocket is very powerful. Now wet by the rain. As long as it is dried in the sun. But this is gunpowder. It will explode. Wei Liao knew the power of this thing. I don't know what to do. Had to temporarily seal up.

The returning troops from the Huns and Hu tribes clamored for firearms. Because now they use firearms more and more frequently. Proficiency is getting more and more adept. Suddenly stopped posting. They are not used to it. And the soldiers love this weapon very much. Especially during the Qing and suppression of the Xiongnu tribe, he rushed into the big tent several times and was caught off guard by the Huns. The Qin Jun who got him was very annoyed, but then a method began to spread widely. Just use a grenade. Regardless of whether there are people or no one. I want to throw one more. The stubborn Huns were immediately killed and stunned. Qin Jun generously went in to get people. It is suddenly out of supply now. All the soldiers were a little worried.

For a time, generals from many directions gathered in the big account. What they need is a handy weapon. Wei Liao urgently passed the news to the main generals. But when the news came. Many soldiers began to whisper. Especially those who go on the expedition. Because of this expedition, the number of firearms used was very small, and some were not supplemented. The only firearm. Must be used with caution. The previous waste of firepower began to recede.
