"What?" Prince Gong looked at the visitor with shock on his face, "Where?"
"At that mountain nook in Huadong Prefecture! The batch of weapons there has just produced over seventy thousand pieces, and this time being robbed, we've suffered significant losses. Moreover, new recruits have joined the camp recently, but they still haven't been allocated weapons, practicing barehanded these days."
They urgently need weapons; these new recruits will only need two months of training before going to battle. But without weapons, they can't practice, so what will they carry to the battlefield? To go and meet death?
Next, Prince Gong still wants to take advantage of the chaos at the border to seize more cities; now, military supplies are what he urgently needs.
The weapon workshop in Huadong Prefecture was specially built by Prince Gong to forge weapons nearby, allowing new recruits to guard Huadong Prefecture so that he can withdraw veteran soldiers to fight with him in other Prefectures.
