Realization of Firepower in Joseon
King Taejong of Joseon focused on developing gunpowder weapons once again. Choe Hae-san, the son of Choe Mu-seon, who lived from 1380 to 1443, produced various firearms. During the reigns of King Sejong and King Munjong, saltpeter was produced nationwide, and the Chongtongwi, a military unit specializing in gunpowder weapons, was established. Additionally, chongtong that fired many arrows at once, hwacha equipped with multiple chongtong, wangu for firing stone balls, and large cannons were developed. The Joseon army, armed with various firearms, subjugated Tsushima Island to suppress Japanese pirates and secured the borders by maintaining the four northern outposts and six garrison forts.
