Cannon of Joseon.

 The Singijeon is a rocket-type firearm that has appeared since King Sejong. Originally, there was a firearm called Juhwa since the Goryeo Dynasty, but the Singijeon Hall was a weapon developed from it. Typically, coins did not have an ignition can, which is a bomb device, and were attached and used at the time of launch. Then, when it reached the new era, an ignition barrel was attached during the manufacturing process. There are usually four types of the new era: the new one, the new one, the oxidized one, and the new one, from the mid- to mid-sized one.   Daeshin Electro-Mechanics attached a bomb called Daesin Firebox on top of the medicine container with propellant gunpowder and tied it to the upper end of the bamboo without ironheads, and attached a flag (stable wing) made of carved feathers to the lower end. It is a large rocket with a total length of about 156 centimeters, including an ignition barrel. Holes are drilled in the center of the upper side of the medicine container and the lower side of the fire container, respectively, and connected by a medicine line (drawing wire).In this way, the purpose of attaching the bomb fire tank to the top of the medicine container and connecting it to the weak line is to automatically explode the bomb fire tank while the new war is flying to the target point or when it is almost gone.   The Sino-Oxygen War is a rocket made by applying a mechanism instead and means "a new war that scatters fire." The overall size is the same as Daeshin Mechanism, but the Oxide Mechanism is different in that it does not use the ignition container, leaves the top of the medicine container empty, and connects Jihwa, a small paper bomb, with ignition lines. Therefore, it is a terrifying rocket designed to ignite a small rocket and disperse in all directions by the time the new oxide warfare arrives at the target site.   The Jungsinjeon Hall is a 145.5cm long rocket using bamboo, and a small bomb called a firebox is installed at the top of the medicine container. There is no detailed record of the range, but the test results can fly about 200 to 250 meters.   The Soshingijeon Hall is the smallest of the Soshingijeon Hall. It is 100 centimeters long and has an iron tip attached to the front like the Jungsinjeon Hall. However, unlike the Sosigijeon Hall, there are only medicine containers and fire containers are taken off. At the bottom, a stable collar is attached with feather, and the range is about 100 to 150 meters.   This new war does not require a special launch device. Since it has its own driving force, anything that could only maintain stability at the beginning of the launch was fine. Therefore, there is also a record that the firearm was fired in a bamboo barrel in the early Joseon Dynasty. As such, the Shingijeon Hall, which was fired in a bamboo barrel or an empty arrow box, began to be fired in large quantities from Shingi Electric Furniture in 1451 when Munjong created and produced a hwacha. The truck's new warfare launcher is capable of plugging in the mid-range warfare valve, allowing it to fire white feet at a time, and freely adjust the range by adjusting the launch angle. The neoplasms installed in these neoplasms were powerful firearms that were connected by weak lines and fired one after another when ignited.   The advantage of the new war is that it can fire a large amount at a time by flying itself to the enemy camp with the power of gunpowder. In addition, the advantage of this firearm was that it caused fear in the enemy by erupting smoke during flight, had a long range, and had a fire tank in front of it, so it exploded at the enemy camp. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   The [Hwacha] Hwacha was equipped with various firearms and could be easily started on narrow and rough roads, and was a mobile combat unit equipped with knives, spears, and shields to protect soldiers from enemy attacks.   It was in October (1411) the 9th year of King Taejong's reign that the record of the carriage first appeared. According to the Annals of King Taejong, "If you put dozens of Cheolryeongjeon in firearms made of several copper and load them in a small cart and fire them with gunpowder, you can control the enemy fiercely."   There is also a record that in 1450, Kim Hyo-seong made a fire truck and had 25 soldiers guarding the front and both sides, and in the car, the president fired the gun and dragged seven people to two cows.   Hwacha showed a breakthrough development by the time of King Munjong. According to the Annals of King Munjong, there is a record of Lim Young-dae's production of fire trucks under the direction of the king in February 1451, and Lee Sa-im, a manufacturer of military discipline, also proposed attaching shields to the left and right of the fire trucks to protect the gun from enemy attacks. Afterwards, a large amount of hocha was produced in the central and local regions and sent to each county and county to be placed in major positions.   At that time, Hocha installed a new electricity loaded with 100 heavy and medium-sized electricity or a barrel frame equipped with fifty pre-chongtongs on top of the cart, and knives and spears could be inserted in front and side of the cart. The launch is done by lighting a fire on the wick of each barrel or new war, and if each wick was connected to each other, the entire arrow could be fired continuously by lighting one wick.   In addition, in peacetime, it was used as a cart to transport goods, but in the event of a war, it was equipped with a barrel or a new electric frame so that it could be used as a weapon to fire enemy camps or kill enemies. Since then, the firearms mounted on the fire trucks have also changed, and the fire trucks equipped with Juja guns have also been developed.   This developed hwacha showed great power in defeating the Japanese army during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. In February 1593, General Kwon Yul had a great record of defeating 30,000 Japanese soldiers by using the 300 carriages made and brought by Byeon Yi-jung from Haengjusanseong Fortress. At this time, the Hwacha made by Byeon Yi-jung was equipped with a winner's fifty tablets used at the time. After that, Hwacha developed structural development, such as installing fifty guns and attaching shields to the left and right during King Sukjong's reign, and was continuously produced and utilized by each military until the 19th century.There are no relics handed down so far, and at the War Memorial Hall in Yongsan, Seoul, Haengjusanseong Exhibition Hall, Army Museum, and Jinju National Museum, there are exhibitions of flower cars restored based on literature materials such as Gukjo Orye.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Bikyukjincheonloe is a unique bomb in Korea created by Lee Jang-son, a painter during the reign of King Seonjo, and is also called Bijincheonloe and Jincheonloe. It is made of cast iron, round in shape, weighs 20 roots, and the weight of the two iron corresponding to the lid is four nyang.   The Bigyeokjincheonloe contains gunpowder and iron pieces, and a bamboo barrel similar to the body of today's bombs. In the bamboo barrel, there is Mokgok with a spiral groove, and Yakseon, a drawing vessel, is wound around the Mokgok. The time of explosion depends on the number of drawing ships wound around the wood grain. To make it explode quickly, I blinked 10 times, and to slow it down, I blinked 15 times.   In the order of use, after inserting a bamboo barrel wound around the weak line, cover the lid of the duaetsoe, that is, Jincheonloe, and firmly block the entrance. After that, when it is filled with gunpowder through the hole in the waist of Jincheon-ro, it blocks the hole with wood, ignites the wick from the bamboo barrel, and throws, rolls, or fires directly on the wall by toys. The launched non-Gyeokjincheonloe burns down the wick connected to its own bamboo barrel and explodes.   Yoo Seong-ryong told [Jingbirok], "In Im Jin-nyeon, when the Japanese enemy was living in Gyeongju Castle, soldier Park Jin attacked the enemy with a military force, but was defeated and returned, and the next night, Jincheon-ro was shot outside the castle." When the remaining enemy heard the roar for the first time, he woke up and suddenly, a large pot-like object flew and fell in the middle of the courtyard of the guesthouse where the enemy was located, and the enemy gathered to turn on the light and pushed each other. In a little while, considering that the artillery fired as if shaking heaven and earth, and about 30 people were hit and killed, and all those who were not hit were surprised and lost their minds..."   While the firearms used at the time were weapons that shocked the target, Jincheon-ro was a metal bomb that flew to the target and exploded. Therefore, this weapon became useful not only in land warfare but also in naval warfare.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   The rifle was originally developed in the West, and unlike our conventional gunman, who ignites fire on the gunpowder wick with his hands and fires, when pulling the trigger, Hwaseung, who fires the gunpowder and fires bullets. Therefore, the rifle was able to aim compared to the existing firearms, so it had an excellent hit rate.   After this gun was transferred to East Asia in the 16th century, it was handed down to Korea in the wake of the Imjin War. The name Jochong originated from the fact that "Flying birds can fit well." Of course, Yoshitoshi So, Tsushima Bunju in July 1589, three years before the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, had offered several guns to Korea, but it was not a big deal, so he was killed in Gungi-si.   After that, when the Japanese Invasion of Korea broke out in 1592, the Joseon army was defeated in a row by Japanese firearms and tactics in the early stages. Realizing that the introduction of new firearms was essential to overcome the inferiority of early battles, efforts were made to introduce advanced firearms in Japan and the Ming Dynasty. Various methods were used, such as using ionizers and hiring a person with rifle manufacturing technology among the surrendered Japanese troops. In particular, Yi Sun-shin, Kim Si-min, and Kim Sung-il recognized the rifle as a firearm that surpassed the winner, and made every effort to imitate the rifle.   These efforts were accumulated, and in March of the following year, he finally learned how to manufacture guns, and in early December of the same year, not only central but also local supervision and barracks manufactured them. Of course, technical problems remained in the manufacture of early pistols, but gradually advanced to manufacture sophisticated guns.

Even after the Imjin War, Korea's interest in guns continued to develop its manufacturing technology, and in March 1657, the excellence of Korean guns was widely known externally to the extent that the Qing Dynasty demanded a large number of guns to trade. Currently, many of the rifle have been handed down to each museum, all of which were used in the late Joseon Dynasty.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Hojunpo Port, famous for its use by Yi Sun-sin in the Battle of Noryang, is a firearm introduced from the Ming Dynasty the year after the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. In order to make it easier to operate, a bamboo temple is placed outside to prevent rupture of the cloth, and to prevent the cloth from being bounced back, two iron legs are attached to the ground so that it can be fixed. In Korea, the Ming Dynasty learned that it was the first to use it in the recapture battle of Pyongyang Province to imitate and produce many effects. After that, it was widely used in fields, and was also installed and used in battleships due to its convenient operation even in narrow spaces.Hojunpo continued to be manufactured and used until the late Joseon Dynasty.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   [Samanchong] Samanchong is a multi-tubular firearm that combines three rows into one handle as a kind of continuous concept gun used in the Ming Dynasty. Samanchong is also called Samhyeolchong, and was introduced from the Ming Dynasty before and after the Imjin War. After that, it was produced in earnest and placed in each camp, and it was a major firearm that filled the demand for insufficient guns. In particular, it was used for cavalry in the 17th century.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Bulanggi is a rear-decorated gun that has been manufactured and used in various European countries since around the 15th century, and unlike conventional artillery, shells and gunpowder are loaded on a self-propelled gun and then mounted on the rear to shoot, so the time required for reloading and shooting is remarkably fast.   The name Bulangi is a Chinese character expression of Frank. Portuguese people who first landed in southern China came with Southeast Asian Muslims at the forefront, and when a Chinese official asked Muslims, "What do you call those big and yellow-headed people?" Muslims answered, "Frank," which they used to refer to all Europeans. Thus, in China, Europeans were collectively referred to as bullangs, and after that, they were referred to as the same words as the gunpowder they delivered.   The introduction of Bulanggi in earnest was after the recapture of Pyongyang Castle in January 1593 during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1593, and a large number of them were manufactured and used for ship or water. After that, it continued to be manufactured and installed in major artillery sites around each camp and Ganghwado Island and operated until the end of the Joseon Dynasty. Currently, dozens of things have been handed down to the National Museum of Korea, the Army Museum, and the War Memorial Hall.
