Zhangjiakou Xuanhua discovered the Ming Dynasty fireball artillery

The reporter learned from Xuanhua District in Zhangjiakou that a collection enthusiast recently displayed two fireballs and an iron cannon. According to experts' assessment, these weapons were firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

Two fire bowls and one gun were cast by fine iron. The guns were long and short, of which the longer one was about 57 centimeters long and the shorter one was about 54 centimeters long. The gun body has three barrels and the finished fonts are arranged. There is a line of lettering on the gun and you can clearly see the words “the middle of the road to the west of the George Castle”. The artillery gun body is 65 cm high, its muzzle diameter is 17 cm and its weight is about 100 kg.

Xuan Cheng, a consultant at the Xuanhua District Museum, said that the scientific name of the gun is known as the Three Fires. It was a powerful firearm that emerged during the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty. It can both shoot the enemy at long range and attack at close range. It is a kind of two. With weapons, the military began a large number of equipment in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

According to the establishment of military institutions in the Ming Dynasty, Xuanfu Town was divided into North, Central, West, South and East Five Roads, and Gefu Fort was under the jurisdiction of Middle Road. According to the records of Xuanfu Zhenzhi, at that time, the Gerber Fort troops were equipped with about 1,000 to 2,000 troops and were equipped with firearms for holding the fortress, such as tiger tail guns, iron mortars, and shrines. According to the lettering on the gun, it can be judged that the three fires and iron cannons displayed by the collectors were the Fortress Holder firearms at the time.

Yan Cheng introduced that the discovery of these firearms is a proof of the existence of Xuanhua as a military center in the Ming Dynasty, and is of reference value for the study of military culture in Xuanhua.
