So on the last question - there are quite a few major wars in East Asia involving the major powers in late 16th - early 17th century - the biggest ones being the Toyotomi Japan’s invasion of Chōson Korea (1592-1598) and the great Ming-Qing transition (1618- 1644, 1683). The Ming-Qing transition actually fits almost perfectly into the Thirty Years War timeframe. So in a very abstract way - Ming China was heavily gunpowder-based army, with some European designs being adopted with connection to the Portuguese. Although the distribution of gunpowder weapon was somewhat uneven among the massive empire. The “Southern Army” responsible for fighting off the Japanese pirates (Waku) was heavily armed with matchlocks and cannons while the “Northern Army” guarding the nomadic frontier was more cavalry and archer-based. There wasn’t really any meaningful technological difference outside notable exception of cannon. The Dutch/Portugese-made “Red-Barbarian Cannon” was a massive hit in Ming, with larger caliber and higher accuracy of the cannon impressing the Ming government. It was heavily deployed starting around 1620s and was one of the most feared weapon against the nomadic Jurchen (later Qing) army. The Jesuit missionaries employed by the Ming and later Qing court were asked to contribute in weapons manufacturing. On Japanese side, Japan effectively had *the* pike and shot army of East Asia. After the introduction of Portuguese musket to the warring Sengoku era in 1543, musket was widely adopted. When Japanese Daimyos invaded Korea in 1592, the not-really-professional Chōson army was quickly routed. Pike formation was effective in countering Chōson and Ming cavalry. Notably though, Japanese did not adopt cannon in their army and navy - which didn’t help them much when they faced Chōson navy heavily armed with cannons. Hope this helps Chris!

Anyone have any recommendations for other history podcasts? I’m looking for something similar to this, a deep dive on a specific era of a region. I’ve been dying to find one that covers East and southeast asia

I listen to the podcast American Prestige." I highly recommend them. They often cover not just American history and current events they cover the East and South America as well.
