First, witness the power of firearms Compared with other regions, exchanges between southern Fujian and foreign countries began very early, especially with the Philippines. What happened in the thirty-first year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty left a deep memory for Minnan people. More than 25,000 people have been slaughtered, and firearms and steel are really unfavorable. People really realize that they will be beaten if they fall behind in science and technology. If they don't want to happen again, then the first thing is to make themselves strong. So the Minnan people who survived the robbery began to learn the crafts of western countries and began to make firearms. Moreover, they dared to try and innovate, and finally succeeded in casting a red cannon, which made the Ming Dynasty reach a new level in firearms production.
Second, the belief of loving peace but not afraid of fighting. Interest and power are the sparks at the beginning of the war. After time of fermentation, they finally became a raging fire, which was out of control. After the defeat of Salhu, seven years later, the battle of Ningyuan won a great victory because of the use of the red cannon newly developed by Minnan people. This war is of great historical significance. Because this World War I was the first victory after losing Fushun. It was also this World War I that really laid the military position of the Red Gun.
China has a vast territory, which represents strength, but also interests. Many countries regard China as a piece of fat, so a strong military force is very important. The red cannon developed by Minnan people has a great deterrent effect on the enemy state. The red cannon made them understand that China is not so backward and China has powerful weapons. I also have the confidence to win this war.
