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

"Fire blunderbusses and bowl-mouthed blunderbusses... those are some seriously good stuff! Back then, we relied on them to capture cities and strongholds, and to destroy Chen Youliang's navy. They really played a significant role! Hahahaha!"

Speaking of firearms, Zhu Yuanzhang became confused.

There was a hint of heroic spirit on his face, probably because the musket and the bowl-mouth gun reminded him of the days when he was fighting for the world.

Of course, he quickly regained his composure.

He refocused on the intelligence in his hand: "The fact that this brat has come up with such an idea at such a young age shows that he knows nothing about military operations and warfare."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and first affirmed his eldest grandson's "immature idea". The regulations on the use of firearms in the Ming Dynasty were set by him personally. Even under his tough implementation, many garrisons could not meet the requirement of "10 muskets per hundred households" for various reasons.

Although firearms are powerful.

However, it has many disadvantages, high costs and high technical difficulty.

It accounts for a very small proportion in the military, and most people have no basic understanding of it.

If you are not familiar with wars, marching, fighting, weapons... these things, you would never think of this.

So... Zhu Yunhuan could think of this, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied in his heart - in his view, as an emperor, one cannot stay away from the battlefield no matter what. Even if he does not go to the battlefield himself, you have to understand!

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Lu Wei's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and he nodded in agreement, praising him with both sincerity and a touch of flattery, "I originally thought that His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture was more adept at governing people and statecraft, but I didn't expect that he also had a deep understanding of military affairs. His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture... is indeed a ruler with outstanding talent!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, with a hint of melancholy on his face: "You said he was such a good kid, why did he mess around with the national treasury money and grain?"

Lu Wei immediately spoke to comfort him, "After all, Your Majesty is still young. With your careful guidance, he will surely become a wise ruler."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt comfortable hearing this.

In a sense, doesn't this mean that this old guy is still very useful? Well, the previous feeling of frustration... has finally faded.

Well, you have to take action yourself at the critical moment.

Hey!

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, and continued with a smile, commenting, "It's truly great that this little wolf cub has thought of this, but he only understands one side of the story... He only thinks about the power of fire blunderbusses and blunderbusses, hoping to rely on that power to suppress those ruffians, but he doesn't understand the details and drawbacks of these weapons."

Lu Wei poured Zhu Yuanzhang another cup of tea.

While thinking, he said, "It's indeed not appropriate to use firearms and muskets in the areas of Yingtian Prefecture, the capital, and Zhili. These are all Ming Dynasty citizens and their houses, and the city walls are also Ming Dynasty walls... And if a fight breaks out, no one knows who will be hit..."

Lu Wei also had experience in the military. Moreover, if he did not have enough ability and knowledge, he would not have been chosen by Jiang Lin to serve Zhu Yuanzhang.

So he also understood this thing very well - in this kind of power struggle, firearms will only hurt others and yourself, and even hurt the people of the Ming Dynasty if you are not careful.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lu Wei, nodded and said, "You understand it very well."

Lu Wei smiled and said, "As a member of the Imperial Guard, I have the title of 'The Emperor's Personal Guard', so I naturally cannot bring shame upon Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "What you just said is indeed to the point. This little wolf went to the warehouse where the weapons were stored in the Ministry of Revenue and asked Fu Youwen to take a look at them personally under the pretext of checking the fire muskets and bowl-mouth muskets. Then he returned to the palace with Fu Youwen in disgrace."
