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

Fu Youwen showed a hint of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that although Zhu Yunhuan had been living in seclusion in the Eastern Palace, he was so knowledgeable about these weapons that ordinary people didn't know about.

Unconsciously, I felt a little more at ease.

Before this, he knew that Zhu Yunhuan was a man of strategy and intelligence, but he felt that Zhu Yunhuan's ability in dealing with battlefield affairs... was not certain. After all, this required experience, knowledge and training, and sufficient familiarity and understanding.

Now see Zhu Yunhuan strolling leisurely in the garden.

Fu Youwen was secretly delighted and said with a smile, "Your Majesty truly has a wide range of knowledge! He even knows so much about these unpopular weapons!"

"Because firearms like muskets and bowl-mouthed muskets rely on the explosion of gunpowder to propel the projectile, but the force generated by the burning gunpowder... is uncontrollable... Sometimes the gunpowder inside is completely burned out, and sometimes it's not completely burned out..."

"Naturally, in practical application, as Your Majesty said, it's impossible to achieve precise aiming. It's not very useful when the enemy and us are engaged in a melee, but... there's nothing we can do about it."

Zhu Yunhuan patted the barrel of a bowl-mouthed musket with great interest and asked, "Besides fire muskets and bowl-mouthed muskets, are there any other types?"

Fu Youwen thought for a moment.

He replied, "Your Majesty, there are, for example, gunpowder arrows. Traditional bows and arrows are attached with gunpowder bags, which are ignited and then shot out. They are useful for burning ships during naval battles. There are also some fireballs, poison fireballs and the like... but they are not so widely used. There are also more... such as the "Flying Thunder Cannon to Strike Bandits", the "Flying Poisonous Fire Dragon Spear", the "Underwater Mine", and the "Fire Dragon Emerging from the Water"..."

Fu Youwen said this.

Zhu Yunhuan turned around and looked at Fu Youwen curiously, "Flying in the air... what kind of cannon, what kind of... poisonous fire dragon... is it really there?"

He had actually heard of these names in his previous life, but the information was lost in later generations. In other words, some marketing accounts found these names in the records and used them to attract traffic, so there was no way to verify whether they were true or not.

So when he heard this, Zhu Yunhuan was really curious.

However, when asked by Zhu Yunhuan, Fu Youwen actually showed a trace of guilt on his face, and honestly admitted: "Your Majesty, there are... there are, but many of them are still in the experimental research stage. Their power, practicality, feasibility... are not entirely certain."

He thought that Zhu Yunhuan's curious question was a questioning of him.

"I never thought that Your Majesty, although busy with state affairs, is so knowledgeable about these military weapons! I admire you so much!" Fu Youwen bowed to Zhu Yunhuan with great respect and praised sincerely.

Now it was Zhu Yunhuan's turn to feel guilty.

He didn't really know much about these things. He was curious simply because he had seen short videos from marketing accounts in his previous life and heard these names.

However, he didn't mind acknowledging that he was truly knowledgeable. After all, the more profound his image became, the less likely others would dare to fool him.

So Zhu Yunhuan did not comment on this praise.

He just turned around and said lightly: "Do you have Fangfang's muskets and bowl-mouth guns here?" He had almost looked at the various stocks in the warehouse, but if he wanted to improve these things, it was more important to see actual combat.

As for the fancy things Fu Youwen mentioned before, he just asked out of curiosity and then put them out of his mind - if these things were really practical enough after being developed, they would definitely be used by dynasties after the Ming Dynasty, and there would be a lot of information in later generations. However, he only heard about them from marketing accounts in later generations, so it can be seen that they were just like that.

The focus is still on the musket and the bowl-mouth gun.

Fu Youwen had always been someone who was eager to improve himself. Since Zhu Yunhuan had made such a request, he naturally quickly agreed, saying, "If Your Majesty wishes to see it, I will arrange to have a few shots fired for Your Majesty under the guise of a routine inspection of these fire muskets and bowl-mouth muskets!"
