Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

After trying it himself, Kang Yunxiang had a thorough understanding of the operability of a musket, and his eyes seemed to be shining.

His face was full of excitement. While he was talking, his eyes were fixed on the musket in his hand, looking left and right, and he couldn't let it go: "Good stuff... really good stuff!"

"To be honest, I really despise those old muskets. They often failed to fire, causing injuries to both ourselves and others. When it comes to precision, they're nowhere near as effective as a good bow. As for the current muskets, it's no exaggeration to say they've been completely transformed."

"To be able to modify the musket into its current form..."

"Master Wang, you are so amazing!"

He himself was selected and was an expert in using bows and arrows. Now after experiencing the musket, he had a complete plan in his mind: this thing will not only completely replace the previous muskets, but also replace them, the archers!

Just like a bow and arrow, it can be shot at will, but it is more powerful and has a longer range than a bow and arrow... Who would still use a bow and arrow if they were serious?

So at this moment Kang Yunxiang was so excited that he started chattering non-stop.

The praise was also very sincere.

Just the next moment.

He saw Wang Jinnian's face suddenly change, filled with fear and panic, his hands almost leaving afterimages: "I'm not... I don't... Captain Kang, please don't say that. How could I have the ability to make such a good thing?"

Wang Jinnian immediately denied himself all the credit.

Taking all the credit for this will only shorten your life.

Seeing Wang Jinnian like this, Kang Yunxiang was puzzled. He frowned and asked, "Wasn't this thing invented by Lord Wang? Aren't you being too modest? If it wasn't you who invented it, would His Majesty let you be in charge of the entire "Divine Machine Camp"? "

He originally looked down on Wang Jinnian because he had no official position, but now he knows that this is actually the most powerful military base of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and Wang Jinnian is in full charge of the Shenji Camp. Of course, he has a preconceived notion that all this is Wang Jinnian's masterpiece.

"It's a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding! This Alchemy Bureau and the current muskets... are all due to your Majesty's wisdom!" Wang Jinnian respectfully clasped his fist in the direction of the imperial palace and hurriedly explained.

Kang Yunxiang was slightly stunned.

A relieved smile appeared on his face. "It's my humble servant who is ignorant. I understand, I understand. Everything in the Ming Dynasty relies on Your Majesty's wisdom! But Lord Wang's contribution should not be underestimated, right? Hahahaha!"

He could hear that Wang Jinnian was playing with social conventions!

So on the one hand he agreed, and on the other hand he interacted with Wang Jinnian about social skills. After all, the other party would be his immediate superior in the future, right?

But don't want to.

This is a flattery that hits the horse's leg.

Wang Jinnian became even more anxious. "No, you really misunderstood! I'm telling the truth! The real truth! If I were to overstep my bounds, I'd be at best half a student of your Majesty! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! You're trying to harm me, aren't you?"

His whole face was filled with rejection, and he was so angry that he cursed.

Kang Yunxiang and Wu Zhenhai were both stunned when they heard this. They were not people without tact. The other party's clarification and explanation was just an attempt to distance themselves from the matter, without any sense of falseness or worldly wisdom.

"This..." Kang Yunxiang was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say.

He felt that Wang Jinnian's words were quite genuine. But if he were to accept the other party's statement all at once, he would find it unbelievable: You mean a teenager improved the fire musket into the musket we have today?

Wang Jinnian took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let me think about this a little differently. Think about it for a moment. His Majesty specifically rounded you up and organized you into two thousand-household units, initially stationing you at the hunting grounds outside Yingtian Prefecture. Then, he found an excuse to recruit you into the Imperial Guards, and then legitimately transferred you to the Alchemy Department. Why was that?"
