========================================
Ming conquered Dai Viet, they learned firearms technology from Dai Viet. While China is acknowleged for actually inventing gun powder, the research also acknowledges Dai Viet's innovation with gun technology.

According to Ming Shi Lu says:
"When it came to {the time of} Ming Chengzu, Jiaozhi {Dai Viet} was pacified, the techniques of magic gun and cannon (shenji qiangpao fa) were obtained, a Firearms Battalion (shenji ying) was especially established to drill {firearms}."
In fact, it appears that the Chinese copied from Vietnam specific techniques, principally in handgun and fire-lance design. Heavy ironwood wadding behind the arrow of the fire-lance increased the pressure and thus the range; and this was adopted into Chinese handgun design. Vietnamese firearms generally were based on Chinese models and there is, in particular, no indication that Vietnamese cannon were heavier than or otherwise superior to Chinese types.
Fire-lances -
Fire-lances improved by the adoption of Dai Viet technology (hardwood wadding) were in Ming Chinese use by 1407. They shot up to 300 paces, and so might be classed the same as handguns rather than as Ps (X). But if Dai Viet was using the improved fire-lances soon after 1400, that suggests that more basic versions must have been in use for some time before that. Since I have not seen them mentioned in the context of the Yuan-Mongol campaigns in Vietnam,

Vietnamese artillery imported into China with instructors in 1410 was considered superior to Chinese."
"Dai Viet troops used handguns in a sea-battle in 1390, and obtained more firearms in the 15th century, particularly after a victory over the Ming in 1426. Chinese reports of the superiority of Vietnamese guns refer to details of handgun and fire-lance construction, not artillery

@ChineseEatBabies I looked it up it came up China syndrome. John Langdon Down classified Down syndrome as "Mongoloid Syndrome" based on Blumenbach's Mongolian theory. So Down syndrome = Mongolian. You descriptions are exagerrated and go in line with Mongols. They have the smallest eyes, most single eyelids, and largest heads. Hans are mixed with austros so they have double eyelids like me.
Source Wikipedia Down syndrome.
PS: I am Han, round forehead, triangle chin, double eyelids.

@DragonOfQin Out of all the asian only chinese people promote incest (Inbreeding) ''KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY''. Cousins marrying cousins, these are all facts no joke.
Weird chinese culture
1. Eating human babies (aborted fetuses) for better sexual performance.
2. Marrying cousins
3. Eating cow and donkey penises hoping their penis would grow bigger.

@VietShitSwampGook Mongolian + Manchu + Korean + Japanese = Han chinese swamp gooks.
Chinese have flat face,flat nose, slit eyes and look like they have down syndrome from too much incest. Only han promote incest,'' KEEP IN THE FAMILY''. Cousins marrying cousin and fathers sleeping with daughters. The only normal looking chinese with the big double eyelids eyes are the one that is mixed with other asian like teochew, hakka, and , cantonese are part southeast asian.
