Chapter 531
As Hwang Hui suggested, a meeting was held at Seunghwadang regarding the letter sent by the Regent of Portugal.
“Hmm… three thousand guns, if we’re talking about three thousand gunners, what would be the total scale of their military force?”
In response to Hyang’s question, Jo Mal-saeng calculated briefly before answering.
“Based on the information we’ve gathered so far, it would be minimum thirty thousand to maximum sixty thousand men.”
“How does that compare to our Joseon?”
Jo Mal-saeng answered Hyang’s question immediately.
“According to our new military organization, one fully-staffed Sa (사(司), division) contains 1,500 gunners, so their force would be equivalent to two Sa.”
“Hmm…”
As the ministers listened to Jo Mal-saeng’s response, they began their own calculations.
