Some things will easily change if they are not implemented.

Hearing Cao Zhen's question behind him, Lan Yu shook his head and said, "If His Highness Taisun wants to establish his prestige in the military, he will inevitably lead the army to conquer it himself."

"It can be said that the conquest of the Japanese country was promoted by His Highness Taisun. It is obvious that His Highness Taisun had the idea of ​​splitting the country and sealing the territory."

"That's why even His Highness the Grand Sun must achieve enough achievements."

"The Japanese country is too far away, and navigation on the sea is full of dangers. It is not very safe, and it is easy to encounter some unpredictable accidents."

"As for the Liaodong side, it's completely different. If there are 40,000 cavalry guarding us, even if we are defeated, there won't be any problems."

Listening to Lan Yu's narration, Cao Zhen's eyes were a little surprised.

Is this still the blue jade I know? Why does it give people the impression of a minister of the Ministry of War?

While Cao Zhen was surprised, he raised his glass and said, "Don't worry, big brother. Now King Yan is in the country of Japan. He has been looking around the court, and there is no one who is more prestigious than big brother."

"Eldest brother and His Highness the Grand Sun are still related by blood."

"If eldest brother is worried, I think it would be better to go to the palace and talk to His Highness the Grand Sun."

"I heard that the grandson is pregnant, and my eldest brother just took this opportunity to celebrate her highness."

Hearing this, Lan Yu said with a smile: "Well, Cao Zhen, you have a lot of clever ideas now."

"What you said makes sense. It's time for me to pay a visit to His Highness Taisun. Then I will naturally know what His Highness Taisun means."

Lan Yu is extremely eager to follow His Highness Taisun in his Northern Expedition to the Grassland.

No matter how His Highness Taisun treats him, he is already tied to the same boat as His Highness Taisun.

If anything unexpected happens to His Majesty the Grand Sun, he will no longer be able to tolerate it in His Majesty's eyes.

His Royal Highness Taisun is his only hope for future prosperity, wealth and life.

....

Ministry of Industry, Arms Bureau.

It's a lively scene now.

A large number of top craftsmen gathered here to study a portrait in full armor.

A eunuch said loudly: "This is the order that His Highness Taisun has specially given to our Arms Bureau. This armor, which was ordered by His Highness himself, must be crafted carefully."

"Every piece of armor here must be made of the best steel. It must be invulnerable to invulnerability, water and fire."

"If there are any mistakes, it's the least serious thing."

The armor picture currently displayed in the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry was specially created by Zhu Ying after he specially found a palace painter and made his own adjustments.

It is very different from the armor in today's army.

It can be considered that it already belongs to the ranks of heavy armor.

Among the current frontier armies of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers on each frontier are wearing mail armor, battle skirts, arm shields and other equipment that weigh a total of forty-five kilograms; their helmets and headbands weigh seven kilograms;

.

The bow's quiver weighs ten kilograms, the waist knife weighs three and a half kilograms, the caltrop bone weighs three kilograms, the quiver weighs one kilogram, and the battle hook with the leather upper and lower clothes weighs eight kilograms, totaling eighty-eight and a half kilograms.

Converted to later generations' calculations, it has reached fifty kilograms.

According to the armor pattern on the current portrait, if it were all made and worn, it would weigh one hundred and fifty kilograms.

It can be said that except for the eyes, the rest of the body is wrapped in thick armor, and with the carved shapes, it really looks like a celestial general.

Regarding war, Zhu Ying still cherishes his life.

And with this armor, not to mention firearms, not even crossbow arrows can penetrate it.

If you want to penetrate this armor, you can only shoot it with siege crossbows or blast it with cannons.

This armor is good in everything, but its only shortcoming is obvious, and that is that it is too heavy.

The choice of war horses alone is extremely picky. Non-top war horses cannot carry the burden, and it must be a tall horse.

Coupled with a long spear that is eight feet long, if you are in the enemy camp, you will really be like a tiger among the sheep, and you will be invincible.

Some craftsmen questioned: "This kind of armor is made like a decoration. Can soldiers really wear it and use it?"

The official scolded: "Don't ask so many questions, just follow His Majesty the Grand Sun's orders."
