Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"Your Majesty, please come this way." Fu Youwen stretched out his hand and gestured towards a door inside. The "gun" mentioned by Zhu Yunhuan was obviously placed further inside and was not given much attention.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded, thinking that this was reasonable.

After all, this is still an era dominated by cold weapons.

Things that are used frequently and can be used right away are of course best placed outside so that they are easy to access.

He strode straight towards the door Fu Youwen pointed out, passing several warehouses and a corridor before finally reaching his destination. Fu Youwen took out the key and opened the door: "Your Majesty, the firearms and other weapons you want to see are inside."

Zhu Yunhuan nodded and stepped over the threshold.

The air inside was filled with a slight smell of gunpowder, and all that could be seen were bronze pipes of various sizes.

Well... there is nothing fancy, just tubes. At most, some of the tubes have some bulges on the tube body. Only when you walk inside and get close to these bronze tubes can you see that there are small holes on them.

These bronze pipes.

The small ones are about 30 to 50 centimeters long, with a diameter of 1 to 3 centimeters; the large ones may be about 80 centimeters long, with relatively thicker tube walls and a diameter of 8 to 10 centimeters.

"Just...this?" Zhu Yunhuan frowned slightly.

Of course, he hopes that the foundation of thermal weapons in this era is as high as possible, so that there will be fewer difficulties to overcome in improving them.

But unfortunately, the "Shenjiying" was only established during the Yongle Dynasty, and at this time, it was estimated to be about the same level.

Fu Youwen naturally heard a hint of loss in Zhu Yunhuan's voice.

But he didn't know...why the young emperor had such a "sense of loss".

You know, the materials of the things in this warehouse are all finely smelted, and the craftsmanship is also improved compared to the war period.

Although these things are not as versatile as the previous conventional weapons, if you have been in the military for many years and often see and come into contact with these things, you should be surprised and shocked when you see them in the first episode!

Fu Youwen only thought that Zhu Yunhuan had lived in seclusion in the Eastern Palace before he ascended the throne, and might not know much about these things.

Thinking that Zhu Yunhuan came here specially this time and specifically asked to see these things, he was obviously interested in them. His eyes turned slightly.

He immediately introduced them, "Your Majesty, these things may look ordinary, but they rely on the impact of gunpowder. The small ones can fire iron or stone balls... up to a distance of more than thirty feet, with great destructive power. They are called 'fire guns.' And the larger ones next to them, called 'bowl-mouth guns,' can even launch solid iron or stone bullets. They can even shatter thick city walls and sink large ships on the water."

"During the Battle of Poyang Lake, Emperor Taizu Hongwu used this weapon to defeat Chen Youliang. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, these fire guns and bowl-mouth guns were improved compared to the original ones."

"And what made the Duke of Liang most famous was the Battle of Buir Lake. The long-range support provided by these fire muskets and bowl-mouth muskets against the Mongol cavalry was also quite valuable."

Zhu Yunhuan paced slowly among them, carefully examining each of the bronze tubes, large and small, while casually complaining, "They're only useful for breaking up enemy formations and attacking cities before two armies clash. After the two armies engage, whether they'll hit friend or foe...that's not certain."

As for the actual combat cases mentioned by Fu Youwen, Zhu Yunhuan had of course already read some battle records of that year and had a good idea of ​​them.

He remembered that the formulation of standards for various hot weapons, such as gunpowder dosage, was only started by Zhu Di during the Yongle period.

At this point, I guess that's it.

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan's words.
