Military operation of the bow. Part 01.

 The gunpowder weapon that appeared in the late Goryeo Dynasty overwhelmed other weapons with its roar and explosive power. In particular, the large president had excellent efficacy in the battle of Gongseong and the attack of ships. With the help of this new weapon, firearms, the Japanese invasions were successfully suppressed, and furthermore, the dynasty was replaced. The emergence of gunpowder weapons led to a major transformation in the weapon system, but Joseon, a new dynasty, strictly controlled its management from the beginning of its founding.     In the wake of the marginal problem caused by the invasion of wilders and Japanese pirates in Taejongdae, the production of gunpowder weapons and the expansion of firearms units were made. Sejong University focused on the development of gunpowder and firearms to explore the northern territory. The Royal Research Institute was established to achieve this, reaching the international level with long-term research results. The production and use of new weapons were centrally controlled, and in the provinces, only a certain amount of gunpowder was produced and supplied to the center. Prior to the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, firearms were weapons that appeared only in case of emergency as a system that was thoroughly managed and operated by the center, so there was no significant change in the usual military weapons system. Therefore, archery in everyday life was revered as before as one of the number of scholars' mental and physical training. 1) For this reason, the manufacturing techniques and archery techniques of Joseon Dynasty remained the same externally. Prior to the invention of the gunpowder weapon, the position as the best soldier was occupied by archers. The emergence of gunpowder weapons also began with the need for tools for the launch of archers. On land, firearms, which were only used as water weapons, were lightened to convert them into offensive weapons so that they could be carried. In addition, with these firearms, various firearms that fire long distances or multiple arrows were manufactured and used in practice. Using the gunman, several arrows (the pre-ssangjeon arm battle) were fired, and heavy arrows (the General War) were fired to break down gates or ships. In particular, fire arrows (Hwajeon Singi Current), which enabled long-distance fire operations with the help of gunpowder, and fire trucks that fired them in a bundle at the same time belonged to high-quality scientific weapons. This was the product of a complex function that bonded the traditional organ, the archer, to new weapons. The demands of the Ganggung Palace were replaced by the president, and the arrows fired into the president were solid and diversified. Now, the president was recognized as the best weapon in firing arrows, 2) and the teaching of Hwapo radiation was important. In the records of the Joseon Dynasty, the explanation of the use of weapons is generally brief, but there is a more specific explanation in the subjugation work exhibition of Lee Si-ae-ran. According to the subjugation operation, the distance that the two troops confronted was about 100 steps away 3) In other words, this close distance is a distance that can be used for the effect of killing force by archers. On this street, a riot was carried out against the troops concentrated in Piagan, which can be seen as a kind of effective death. This operation was not a plain battle, but a mountain battle, so it was advantageous for the defenders, while it was very disadvantageous for the attackers, the subjugation. The attack by the palace alone could not break through the triple wall of the rebels, and in the end, they were able to win with the last attack by the presidential and slash-and-burn battles. It proved that firearms are the most important weapon in the attack. However, the role of archery as a weapon to assist this should not be ignored. Firearms had advantages such as strong destructive power and psychological threats by long-range firing and roar, but vulnerabilities such as quantitative limitations of gunpowder and firearms themselves, inconvenience of transportation due to weight, low hit rate and slow firing speed. On the other hand, archery had weak destructive power, but had advantages such as convenience in production, armament, and use. The emergence of firearms in practice started from a complementary relationship with the palace. The firing of the palace using a firearm increased the range of the palace and allowed several arrows to be fired at once. The effect was great when a roar and fire, which are the advantages of firearms, were accompanied. However, the use of this firearm required the support and protection of the palace due to the limited quantity and movement. Now, firearms have maintained a complementary relationship with the palace. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) When King Taejong asked the crown prince to learn archery in the court, Lee Yi-rae and his officials opposed it as wrong. In response, King Taejong said, "The old man said that he recognized virtue by shooting an arrow, and it was also said that it was the Tao of the Gunja to compete for its tricks, so we cannot stop shooting an arrow."({太宗實錄} 권17, 태종 9년 3월 기미) 2) {世祖實錄} Volume 46, the claim of Kang Soon of Byeonginjo in May of the 14th year of King Sejo. 3) {祖實錄錄} Volume 43, the 13th year of King Sejo's reign. "I dealt with the enemy at a distance of about 100 steps away.    The enemy blocked, fired guns, rolled stones, and fired arrows like rain.    The line of Paengbae was removed in three layers, and Jun advanced with several generals. Lee Si-ae fought with all her might, so she was solid and could not defeat it."
