In the armory of the Ming army camp.
"Your Highness, are you here to choose a weapon?”Seeing Zhu Zhanji walk in, the chief officer of the armory quickly came out to welcome him.
"Daren, you should just call me Your Highness. Imperial Grandfather hasn't named a grand grandson yet. It wouldn't be good if people gossiped!”
The chief officer of the Armory quickly praised," Your Highness is really humble and courteous. You really are a role model for the royal family…"
Zhu Zhanji quickly waved his hand and stopped the flattering attack. This armory was under the control of the Ministry of War, and the chief officer was a civil official. If he were to start flattering, he would probably be able to continue until tomorrow morning.
"Please take us to the warehouse to choose some suitable weapons!”
"I don't dare to be addressed as such by Your Highness. Please follow me in…"
……
"This is a weapon forged from meteorite iron by the fake Yuan Dynasty ancestor, Kublai Khan. It was later used as a sacrificial vessel for the ancestral temple of the fake Yuan Dynasty!
Great General Xu Da broke through the Yuan Dynasty and destroyed their ancestral temple. He brought this ritual vessel back to Yingtian…"
"This is a modified version of the Mo Saber left behind by the Pseudo Yuan Dynasty.
Because the Mo Saber is not suitable for horse fighting and can only be used as infantry, the Yuan people shortened the length of the Mo Saber and increased the curvature of the blade to make it more suitable for horse fighting. The overall length is the same as the Mo Saber, but because it is too heavy, at 120 pounds, coupled with the weight and armor of the general, the horse could not bear it. Therefore, it was placed in the pseudo-Yuan Imperial Ancestral Temple and used as a sacrificial vessel…"
Zhu Zhanji did not wait for the official to finish his introduction. He could not help but grab the saber in his hand and shake it a few times. It was a little light, but it was sturdy. It was round and was forged from a complete piece of meteoric iron without any traces of connection.
"This weight is not bad. It's quite handy. I'll take this with me. Does it have a name?”
The officer in charge of the armory saw that Zhu Zhanji easily held the weapon in his hand as if it was nothing. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He only reacted when he heard Zhu Zhanji's question.
" The great ancestor named himself Yuanshuo after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty…"
"Today, I even ordered people to make 500 copies of them. All of them are made of hundred-refined steel and are held by strong men for ceremonial purposes…"
"Such a good saber, why are you only using it as a ceremonial item?”
"Even if it's a replica, it's still close to 80 Jin. There are very few soldiers in the army who can dance for more than 25 minutes!
The generals also have their own weapons…"
"Using this as an honor guard can further demonstrate His Majesty's dignity!”
Zhu Zhanji asked in confusion," Then why is my grandfather dragging these useless things? To show off in front of the battle…Uh, no, to scare people in front of the battle?"”
"The emperor planned to defeat the Tartars and use these divine weapons to show his might when he surrendered. That's why he was brought to the army!”
It was confirmed that Zhu Laosi was planning to defeat the Tartars and call their leaders together to watch him show off!
They hadn't even started fighting yet, and they were already planning what would happen after they won? He was too anxious!
As expected, the hobbies of the leaders in ancient and modern times were very monotonous!
"Where is the replica of the Yuan Shuo treasured saber?”A weapon that others couldn't use was just right for his people. With this weight and the speed of the horse, a single slash would shatter the horse and horse!
"Just cover the one beside it!"
Zhu Zhanji opened it and saw that it was indeed there. The Yuan Shuo sabers that emitted a cold light were neatly placed on the shelf. He immediately ordered the four people beside him,
"Don't waste time. Go and call for people to carry them away!”
"This subordinate accepts the order!"
When the officer in charge of the armory heard that Zhu Zhanji was going to pack it up and take it away, he panicked.
He just wanted to show off the good things in the armory so that Tai Sun would come over more often when he had nothing to do. He also wanted to be familiar with his face in advance. He did not expect to shoot himself in the foot. He hurriedly stopped him and said,
"Your Highness, slow down. This can't be done. This lowly official can't afford to be punished for delaying the emperor's important matters!”
Zhu Zhanji pulled the supervisor aside and comforted him,"
"Don't worry, I'm just borrowing it for a while. I'll return it when I'm done. It won't hinder the old man from acting tough…Ah, no, it won't hinder my imperial grandfather from intimidating the enemy.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him, indicating for them to move away quickly. He continued to ask the chief officer,
"In the past, I heard that the Great Han generals in charge of the honor guard were all dressed for show. They looked good but were useless. Many of them didn't even open their sabers.”
Although the official was panicking, he still forced himself to endure and patiently explained,
" The generals of the Great Han Dynasty are in charge of personal guards and escorts in the Imperial City. Those people are useless outside the Imperial City. When the imperial carriage goes out, the guards are all armed with real weapons. They are all the best weapons, much better than those in the army..."
"Then why is there only the Yuan Shuo treasured saber and no armor? This was not a complete set. Could it be that there was no need to prepare a separate set of armor for ceremonial purposes?!”Zhu Zhanji asked.
Seeing Zhu Zhanji sincerely asking for advice, the chief officer of the Armament Institute was a little excited. He immediately replied,
" Of course, we have to match them. We can't lose the dignity of our country in front of those barbarians…"
