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

Gather together like today.

This is the first time.

The young man pondered for a moment, then glanced at the other man meaningfully. Perhaps he had also thought of something, as he succinctly stated his background, name, and even his previous position: "I'm Lin Yishan from the Armament Bureau. I was in charge of manufacturing muskets."

After saying that, he also cast an inquiring look at the middle-aged man.

Hearing Lin Yishan from the Armour Bureau reveal his origins, the middle-aged man's pupils shrank. He thought to himself, "Armor Bureau, musket manufacturing. As expected, no matter where they come from, they're bound to be closely connected to muskets, bowl-mouth muskets, and similar firearms!"

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes slightly and introduced himself in the same way as the other party. "I'm Feng Xu from the Arsenal. It was my idea to add several hoops to the barrel of the bowl-mouthed musket to reduce the risk of explosion."

(The early Ming Dynasty cannons and the late Yuan Dynasty cannons were roughly the same in shape and very simple. Over time, they were gradually improved and advanced, such as by thickening the barrel wall and adding a hooped ferrule to the barrel.)

Perhaps what I was thinking was confirmed.

Lin Yishan's eyelids trembled slightly, and after a pause, he slowly said, "You noticed it too."

Feng Xu took a deep breath, and his eyes first wandered over the many musketeers promoted by the major powers present. Then he turned his head with interest and glanced in the direction of the Alchemy Department from afar.

He nodded and said, "Well, I didn't know before, but I was just wondering when the Jinyiwei recruited people from the Firearms Bureau. But in the Jinyiwei Yamen, no one dared to say anything. I only found out today when they started making a fuss."

Lin Yishan also had a smile on his face.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that things are not that simple. Our three centurions are not used for patrolling or guarding the gates, and it is even more impossible that we are here to do hard labor as they guessed."

"Maybe the person behind His Majesty... hehe." At this point, smart people can obviously see a lot of clues and movements.

These people.

They are the group of people who know best the power of hot weapons such as muskets and bowl-mouth guns.

The current emperor went to so much trouble to recruit this group of people in the name of recruiting the Jinyiwei... He must have some purpose.

Anyone who has a certain understanding of the current political situation in the court can more or less see some subtle meanings between Zhu Yunhuan and the Huaixi nobles, but they just can't see through it clearly and can't see the direction.

to today.

Lin Yishan felt that he had finally figured out the direction...

There are indeed conflicts and awkwardness between the current emperor, the person behind him, and the Huaixi nobles! !

And the person behind His Majesty...

We should focus on the power of weapons such as fire guns and bowl-mouth guns, and use them to gain independence from the Huaixi nobles and avoid being controlled and threatened by them.

to be honest.

The three centurions present...are a fire musket team formed to conceal their true identity and specifically to deal with the nobles of Huaixi! !

However, Lin Yishan stopped talking halfway because they were originally employed in Yingtian Prefecture. Naturally, they knew better than the musketeers from the garrison what to say and what not to say.

Feng Xu glanced at Lin Yishan, revealing a knowing look, but his expression wasn't entirely relaxed. "But... you're from the Armament Bureau, and I'm from the Military Equipment Bureau. We both know this isn't feasible. Fire muskets and blunderbusses are inaccurate, and using them is incredibly risky. Furthermore, if the enemy and I come into contact, using these weapons would kill both our own people and the enemy at the same time."

For him, it was certainly good news that he was not here to be a patrolman, a security guard, or a laborer.

But the bad news was that he had been dragged into this political vortex without even realizing it. By the time he finally realized it, he was already on board the ship of His Majesty...

Lin Yishan's mentality is much better than his.

He chuckled and said, "Of course I know, but we're already at the gate of the Alchemy Department and can't get off the boat! On the bright side, the military advisor behind Your Majesty is obviously a remarkable figure. Even distributing cheap cloth and anthracite is a trick he used one after another. He's very cunning and clever."

"Who can say whether he can win or not? Don't you think so?"

"Who knows, maybe we can step on some dog shit and get some great credit, and rise to prominence from now on! Isn't this a good opportunity?"

"Of course, I think the most important thing is... Your Majesty's military advisor is kind-hearted. He truly cares about the people of the world and has been diligently assisting Your Majesty in governing the Ming Dynasty. Most of the time, Your Majesty is willing to listen to his military advisor."

"If you let me choose for myself, I will choose him."

"Just like what someone said just now, we're already here, we just have to do it even if our lives are at stake!"

Lin Yishan's handsome face was full of open-mindedness, and he was completely different from Feng Xu, who looked timid and fearful.

Feng Xu naturally knew what he meant.

The bad reputation of the Huaixi nobles has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since the previous dynasty, and the current emperor... although he is a little bit good at times and crazy at times, at least with the assistance of his military advisor, the Ming Dynasty is doing well.

They used to work in the Arsenal and Armament Bureau. To put it bluntly, they were just workers, and like the common people, they just hoped for a stable and better life.

So Feng Xu understood Lin Yishan's words and his choice, but he still sighed and said, "You look young, you haven't married yet, right?"

Lin Yishan was slightly stunned.

It felt a bit nonsensical for a moment: "We were just talking, why are you attacking me personally?"
