Weapons "paper
In the early Qing dynasty, hot weapons, such as cannons, were introduced. The Westernization Movement was the beginning of China's modernization, while China's modernization started from the military. At that time, the large-scale introduction of advanced western weapons and their casting technology made a qualitative breakthrough in China's weapons at that time and turned them into hot weapons in an all-round way. At that time, the famous military factory was Anqing Inner Ordnance Institute (the first modern enterprise in China), which mainly manufactured firearms, gunpowder, Jiangnan Shipyard and warships. In the early days, these military enterprises mainly copied western weapons and hired a large number of foreign craftsmen. In the later period, we mainly relied on our own trained technicians to innovate independently, from imitation to independent innovation, and realized the real modernization of China's weapons industry.
