"This is the Ordnance Bureau?"

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

"Firearms and swords and so on are all put together?"

"How is this possible, the Firearms Bureau is further away, and it is divided into four locations, southeast, northwest and north. One is under the control of the provincial officials in the palace, one is under the control of the Ministry of Works, one is under the control of the royal family, and one is under the control of the Ministry of War. ”

"There's a spare, which is to go inside this way. There is the most variety in it, but there is very little to do, it is more like an exhibition hall! Liang Shicheng replied to Zhu Zilong.

Zhu Zilong nodded: "The official family has a will, let me take over or participate in the management of a firearms bureau, and for the sake of safety, and for the sake of protecting the new salt industry, I can also form a team of about 3,000 people in the street division." I'm going to pick some weapons first! ”

"Ha, there is only a will, the prince just chooses with peace of mind, please come with me, only after the military department inspects it, you can only enter!" Liang Shicheng led the way very politely.

Weapons management is the top priority, and there are many hurdles along the way, and it has been verified by many officials to verify the authenticity of the holy decree before it can be regarded as passing.

In the end, in the armory, Zhu Zilong's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

The purpose is the long weapon of the Song Dynasty of a water, following the Sui and Tang dynasties, with guns as the mainstay, followed by long poles and big knives, as well as miscellaneous long soldiers such as hook rods and fork rods, with obvious Hu people color, and all kinds of spears are also mixed with foreign shapes. The long knives mostly inherited the system of the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

However, if you look closely, Zhu Zilong found that among the long-handled weapons, there are the most axes.

Thinking about why Song Taizong chose to hack his brother to death with an axe and become the emperor, Zhu Zilong's heart was clear.

Song Taizu's "yellow robe and body" and "glass of wine to release military power" show the majestic strategy. It's a pity that the ending is a bit miserable. On a bleak and stormy night, he was hacked to death by his own brother Song Taizong with an axe on the couch! The name of the first generation is lost in the mysterious "axe sound and candle shadow" through the ages.

Before crossing in the past, Zhu Zilong, as a bystander, still didn't understand. Why did Song Taizong treat his own brother, who had doted on him all his life, and couldn't kill him with poisoned wine, white silk or short blades like everyone else. Instead of using a heavy axe, that's a bit too vicious, isn't it?

By now, he understood.

In fact, Song Taizong killed his brother with an axe, according to the current custom of the Song Dynasty, it may not be proportional to its ferocity (of course, fifty steps and a hundred steps). Because in the current overall environment of the Great Song Dynasty, martial artists like to wear hand axes with them, which is a very distinctive and unique fashion of the times.

This is a habit that began in the late Tang Dynasty, and the warriors were unusually fond of using hand axes (a short-handled axe) and battle axes (long-handled battle axes).

Moreover, not only the Song Dynasty, but also the surrounding Liaojin, Western Xia and other countries, samurai and generals also liked to use axes as weapons.

Zhu Zilong thought that his gang was called the Axe Gang, so with a wave of his hand, he asked people to pack a lot of axe-like weapons. When I turned around, I saw a long-handled knife in that corner, which was particularly conspicuous. So I stepped forward and asked!

"Heh, the prince really has good eyesight. This knife is modeled after the Guan Gong big knife, called the Guan Wu big knife! Liang Shicheng introduced.

"Guan Wu Broadsword, shouldn't it be called the Qinglong Yanyue Knife?" Zhu Zilong asked in surprise.

"Blue Dragon Glaive? This, if you talk about the story of Guan Sheng's broadsword, it seems that there is something related to dragons among the people. But, my lord, this can't be said outside. If you change someone else, you may be in trouble, you must know that the dragon represents the Son of Heaven! Liang Shicheng's expression tightened, and he quietly made a cross-neck killing action, and whispered to Zhu Zilong.

Zhu Zilong couldn't help but have a positive expression, and his heart was numb, and he almost hurt me in the future!

In the various depictions of later generations in the 21st century, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife is almost accompanied by Guan Shengren, which can be more of a complete integration of people and knives, and the knife has become an indispensable image spokesperson for Guan Yu.

Legend has it that the world's first blacksmith only chooses the night of the full moon to build the Qinglong Glaive. When it was almost finished, there was a sudden surge of wind and clouds, dripping 1,780 drops of blood from the sky. According to the analysis of the local warlock, it was the blood of the green dragon. Therefore, with the name of "Qinglong Glaive Knife", it is said that the Qinglong Glaive will kill 1780 people.

However, when he traveled to the Song Dynasty, the truth in front of him was so cheating. Even if Guan Gong had used a long knife, he definitely didn't use any Qinglong Yanyue Knife!

Zhu Zilong recalled the content of the books he had read in the Song Dynasty in his mind, and finally understood that it was no wonder that there had been controversy on this topic on the Internet in later generations.

During the Three Kingdoms, the generals mainly used spears, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, etc., all used spears, and took their thrust effect.

It's like two people speeding up on horseback and colliding at a speed similar to a hundred miles. When you are about to make contact, do you directly use the speed inertia of the impact to stab the opponent with the sharp tip of the long weapon and kill the opponent in one move, or do you suddenly raise the knife after the door broadsword?

Obviously, a few more seconds are wasted in the time it takes to pretend. And people stab it directly, maybe not even half a second. Most of the generals on the battlefield have a few moves, and even one and a half moves can determine the outcome of the battle.

Pretend to be death!

Later, Zhu Zilong chose some short-handled swords and shields, but he stopped them when choosing a crossbow.

"Lord Wang, the Jielu Street Division has no right to use the bow and crossbow, please forgive me!" Liang Shicheng was afraid that Zhu Zilong would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.

After listening to the explanation, Zhu Zilong also expressed his understanding, but chose some common light and small bows and arrows.

After all, the Street Division is placed in the new China of the 21st century, that is, the Urban Construction Administration and the Urban Management Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade.

Abbreviation...... Chengguan!

However, before leaving, Zhu Zilong still looked at the hardcover divine arm crossbow over there, and secretly swallowed his saliva.

The Divine Arm Crossbow, also known as the Divine Arm Bow, was invented by Li Hong during the Northern Song Dynasty Shenzong period (the history books also say that it was Li Ding, the bow body is three feet long, the string length is two feet five, and the maximum range is far more than 340 steps. Later, he became the crossbowman of the regular army of the Song Army, one of the standard weapons.

The enemy country Wanyan Zongbi once said: "In the past, I went south and saw the Song Dynasty using military weapons, the great one is just a divine arm bow, and the second is a heavy axe, and there is no fear outside, and now I will make it." ”

The "Divine Arm Crossbow" requires more force than a bow to open the string, so it has a longer range than a bow. The penetration is not as bad as this modern general automatic rifle!

In addition, several or even dozens of arrows can be fired at the same time, which is powerful in battle.

However, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the crossbow machine is very bulky, so it is suitable for carrying by multiple infantry or making a ballista.

Choosing the right time to use it on the battlefield, just like Cheng biting the gold three-plate axe, after using one or two waves, you can only watch the play as a crowd of onlookers.

The suppressive power is inferior to the artillery of later generations, and the dense force is inferior to the machine gun.

It's a weapon of war, but it's not the king of war!
