Xu Qing had seen firearms of this era, and frankly, they were inferior to bows and arrows.
First, there was an issue with accuracy; second, they were prone to barrel explosions...
In short, the drawbacks were too numerous to elaborate on.
When you actually fired one, whether it would hit the enemy, the air, or your own people was a matter of luck.
And if a barrel exploded, well, that was even worse!
Therefore, when the Official Army set out, if they were issued firearms, it wouldn't be surprising if they mutinied.
Are you kidding? Was this some ploy to send us all to our deaths?
In such a situation, the Court became very conscious of the problem and stopped manufacturing Firearms altogether, to prevent any misunderstandings by the soldiers.
However, what one loses, another gains. Fang Immortal Dao had never ceased its research and development of Firearms.
