Gunpowder was invented in the Song Dynasty. Why are you still losing ground in front of Mongolian soldiers?

Gunpowder was invented in Song Dynasty, but it was defeated in the face of Mongolian army, mainly due to management and technical problems. First of all, talk about the technical problems. First, although the rocket was invented in the Song Dynasty, the manufacturing technology at that time was still relatively rough, so the power of the product was limited and the scope of use was limited. Some thermal weapons can only be used to guard cities and cannot play a big role in the military.

Second, although it was said that gunpowder weapons had been used in Song Jun at that time, weapons such as bows and arrows had been used in ancient wars in China for many years, and the technology was very mature. People are also very familiar with the use of bows and bows. It is difficult to get used to promoting hot weapons at once, and people at that time were feudal and superstitious. It was difficult for them to accept musket, a relatively advanced weapon, so there was no way to promote it comprehensively at that time.

Third, although gunpowder was invented in Song Dynasty, its use was relatively simple and violent, that is to say, it had no technical content at all and was easy to be copied, which led to the fact that although the Song Dynasty was a country that used gunpowder at that time, Mongolia also had weapons that used gunpowder. Talk about management. In fact, at first, gunpowder was invented in the Song Dynasty and used in the army, which had a certain shock to Mongolia at that time.

But it is a pity that the imperial court at that time valued literature over martial arts and was unwilling to attack the city with advanced weapons to bully the weak. But content with the status quo, there is no idea of fully popularizing hot weapons. At that time, the deployment of the army was also problematic. At that time, in the face of the Mongolian army who was good at flexible riding and shooting, the army of the Song Dynasty was mainly heavy infantry. Naturally, Song Jun, where the two sides are at war, has no advantage at all. A combination of various reasons is naturally losing ground.
