Emperor Chongzhen's original weapons, a pure iron shield weighing over 100 pounds, and a large iron hammer weighing over 100 pounds, both sank into the Yangtze River as the warship sank when he was crossing the river.
Therefore, his new weapon was reforged in the city of Nanjing.
Emperor Chongzhen was wearing heavy armor, which made his warhorse pitiful enough. If he carried weapons on his back, the horse would definitely go on strike and would not be able to drag him all the way from Nanjing to the battle.
At this time, Felix Fang heard the Emperor Chongzhen's call and quickly ordered the Jinyiwei guards around him: "Quick, carry the Emperor's shield and hammer over!"
So, two Jinyiwei guards carried a weapon to the side of Emperor Chongzhen who had already dismounted.
