The entirety of Great Yu, nearly everyone is extremely attentive and concerned about the new firearms produced by the arsenal under Zheng Yi's command.
Unfortunately, due to Zheng Yi's strict orders and the investigation by the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot, only a very few in the court have witnessed the might of the new firearms.
Moreover, as the New Army swept through Yongzhou, crushing the rebel forces, the discussion around the new firearms heightened once again.
Though the vicinity of the arsenal was already fortified and cleared, it couldn't stop the infiltrating spies.
In just half a month's time, the Eastern Depot caught over a hundred spies.
And because of the minimal casualties of the New Army, naturally, some firearms, bombs, and such, fell into civilian hands, acquired by those with intentions.
However, the quantity is extremely scarce.
Thus, these Bing Merchants are eagerly eyeing the new firearms.
