1592, Japan launched the largest war of aggression against Korea in history, targeting China. North Korea was routed, the king fled to China, the palace was burned, millions of people were killed, countless people were humiliated and food was robbed. China sent troops to help, and after a bloody battle, the Japanese army finally retreated. The history books of China, Japan and Korea have different opinions on the outcome of this war.
Japan: China and Japan were deadlocked in the Korean battlefield, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, and the Japanese army had no fighting spirit and took the initiative to retreat;
North Korea: China defeated Japan, and finally North Korea launched veteran Li Shunchen to unite with the Ming army, which gave Japan a fatal blow, and Japan was almost wiped out;
China: The Ming army lost many times and suffered heavy losses. However, due to the death of Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it took the initiative to retreat and deal with the aftermath.
Of course, these historical records have a certain political background, and they are not completely believed, let alone recorded differences. If you think about it from another angle: Why did Japan close its doors for more than 200 years after the war? Why did Japan claim revenge when it launched the Sino-Japanese War? Why did North Korea remain loyal to the Ming Dynasty after its demise, and even set up a "big newspaper altar" for Zongshen? Think clearly, the answer should be self-evident.

The Tokugawa shogunate's blockade of the country has nothing to do with the invasion of North Korea, but it is purely because the tortoise intends to develop the domestic economy. Even if the tortoise replaced the monkey as the general invading the DPRK before the end of the war, the tortoise would still lock up the country instead of launching an aggressive invasion of the DPRK like a monkey.
PS, the history of the Ming Dynasty was compiled by the Qing people, so it was naturally criticized in the war of benevolence and ministers. I remember that during the Sino-Japanese War, some people compared the war between Ren and Chen to the Sino-Japanese War, saying that I was arrogant in the Qing Dynasty and incompetent in the previous Ming Dynasty. It's really ironic.

Last time I read a post, it said that Kangxi defeated hundreds of Russian explorers in jaxa, which was a great martial art of the Qing Dynasty and resisted Russia for hundreds of years. So it seems that the three great feats of Wanli are really the invincible super martial arts in the universe, HOHOHO.

I just read an article saying:
At that time, the monarch minister of North Korea thought, "I have worked for Daming for 300 years, and my feelings are beyond words. Since the opening to the outside world, I have never heard of recreating Emperor Zongshen (Ming Shenzong Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun). King Xuanzu's so-called righteousness is the monarch and minister, and it is sincere and painful to be kind to his father and son. "
Similar to what you said upstairs.

The following is the history of the non-Chen war adapted from Korean history:
Travel all over 3,000 miles of North Korea. On some hills covered with pine trees and Jindalai flowers, you often find a temple dedicated to a brave national hero-Li Shunchen. In the 1592 Korean Patriotic War, Li Shunchen played an important role, and the Japanese invaders were terrified. The Korean people at the foot of the White Mountain and along the Hanjiang River have been praising his name for generations.
/kloc-from the middle of the 0/5th century to the middle of the 0/6th century, Japan was in the "Warring States Period" of feudal separatism. Civil war broke out among famous princes, and the economy and culture of the island country also stagnated. 1542, Portuguese Pinto landed in Japan for the first time, followed by Spain and the Netherlands. Their culture and technology had an impact on the samurai class in the Japanese Civil War. /kloc-in the late 6th century, Nobunobu, the feudal Lord in central Honshu, rose. With the help of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (known as "Ping Xiuji" in China history books) and Tokugawa Ieyasu, he armed an elite army with western guns, which lasted for 30 years, wiped out the vassals and unified most of Japanese territory.
1582, ODA was stabbed to death. Toyotomi Hideyoshi inherited his unification policy and conquered the southwest of Japan. After Japanese reunification, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's aggressive ambition expanded even more. His soldiers shouted: Turn Ryukyu, Luzon, Taiwan Province Province and Korea into Japanese vassals, and then use Korea as a springboard to invade rich Chinese mainland. For the next three and a half centuries, this slogan became the traditional national policy of the Japanese ruling class.
Since the Ming Dynasty in China, the trade between coastal areas and Japan has been frequent. After Ming Yingzong, China's national strength gradually declined, and its coastal defense was empty. Japanese ronin, samurai and smugglers constantly plundered and harassed the coast of China, and the people in the southeast coast denounced them as "Japanese pirates". Japan's economy is backward, looting and smuggling are profitable, and "Japanese pirates" are more and more rampant. The Ming government fought against the Japanese pirates for a long time, which gave them many devastating blows, and outstanding national generals such as Qi Jiguang, Yu Daguan and Tan Lun emerged. Ming Shizong cut off trade with Japan, but never wiped out pirates. They use light sailboats to haunt the southeast coast of China, posing a threat to the lives and property of coastal residents. These pirates were invaded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi depth charges.
159 1 year, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the coastal vassal States to build hundreds of warships and reserve rations for three years, and appointed his nephew Toyotomi Hidetsugu as Guan Bai (equivalent to the prime minister of China) to guard the country. Chen Feng calls himself "Tiger" and is in charge of military and political affairs. 1592 (the 20th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, namely Renchen year), Xiuji formed the Ninth Expeditionary Force, appointed Yu Xiujia as the marshal and He as the vanguard officer, and ordered the alcoholic Jialong to command the water army, with 200,000 troops, 9,000 water troops and more than 700 warships. 1592 In April, he crossed the Korean Strait with high spirits.
At that time, South Korea's Lee dynasty was very weak. There are constant coups at court and factional conflicts. The dynasty replaced military service with taxes, the North Korean army only had figures on paper, and the frontier fortress and coastal defense facilities were in disrepair. Toyotomi Hideyoshi threatened the Lee Dynasty by attacking China through North Korea. It was categorically rejected by the North Korean government: "China and North Korea treat me with the same internal North Korea. If you go to court first, you will be saved in times of difficulty ... the husband party is on the side and can't vote for neighboring countries without his father. Seeing that the threat failed, the Japanese samurai attacked on a large scale. In the non-Chen year (the 25th year of Xuanzu in the Korean calendar), the Great Patriotic War of Korea broke out.
The North Korean government's national defense building has long been hollowed out by ants, and the Japanese invaders immediately overturned it with one blow. Within three months, Kyoto, Seoul, Kaesong and Pyongyang fell one after another. Song Li, korean king, fled to Yizhou on the Yalu River, and sent messengers to the China government in emergency. 1592 In August, Zhu Yijun, Ming Shenzong sent the ancestors of Liaodong deputy generals to North Korea for reinforcements. Zu Chengxun led 3000 soldiers to cross the Yalu River. He underestimated the enemy and rushed to Pyongyang from a distance. The Chinese and Japanese armies fought outside the gates of Pyongyang. Zu Chengxun was outnumbered and the whole army was defeated. This failure split the Ming government into the main war and the main and the two factions. The war faction believes that China and North Korea are as close as lips and teeth and must send heavy troops to repel the Japanese aggressors. The main peace faction is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and advocates giving up North Korea and retreating to the Yalu River. In the end, the sects compromised between the two factions: according to the advice of the main war faction, Song Yingchang was ordered to guard the Japanese military affairs, and General Li was ordered to supervise the military affairs of Hebei, Liaoning, Baoding and Shandong, and became the commander-in-chief of the defense against coastal defense and rushed to North Korea; On the other hand, he sent Shen Weijing to make peace with Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the name of guerrilla general.
The burning, killing and looting by the Japanese invaders aroused the anger and resistance of the Korean people. Gyeongsangdo and Jeolla-do (Korean "Dao" is equivalent to China's provincial level) are the key points of South Korea's invasion, and they were hit hardest by the Japanese invaders, who sent uprising soldiers first. As soon as the Japanese army landed in Gyeongsangdo, Guo Zaiyou, a Confucian scholar who claimed to be "General in Red", led the people to resist. "Soon, Jin Zhen, Zheng,, and other people with lofty ideals also organized guerrillas to fight against the Japanese aggressors. In Jeolla-do, Gao Jingming, a volunteer, fought actively with Liu Peng's old troops. With the Japanese invasion of China, the volunteers of Chungcheongbuk-do and Gyeonggi-do also rose one after another, and the enemy was caught in the gunfire of the people's resistance movement.
Li Shunchen, the most outstanding naval general, emerged in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression of Korea. Li Shunchen's armada has repeatedly dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese navy. During the Great Patriotic War, Japanese sailors trembled with fear when Li Shunchen came.
Li Shunchen, a native of Kaifengfu, Gyeonggi Province, was born in 1545. He has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child and is quite ambitious. 1576, took the martial arts examination of Jing Xian Dao, and later served as the county supervisor of Jingyi County, Jeolla Dao. In the war with Jurchen, he made great contributions to the court. Before the outbreak of the Non-Chen War, he had been promoted to the position of ambassador of Zuoshui Army in Jeollado, commanding the whole water army. In view of the current situation that the Japanese navy widely uses muskets and small caliber guns, Li Shunchen has carefully designed an tortoise-shell boat to deal with it.
Turtle boat is a primitive armored gunboat. More than ten feet long, more than ten feet wide, and the freeboard is very low. There is a solid shell on the deck, and the wooden shell is covered with scaly iron leaves, which is named after it looks like the back of a turtle. The turtle boat is carved with a dragon head, with several holes in the bow, some holes and holes on both sides, and 10 paddles on both sides. It is flexible and powerful in offshore operations. Li Shunchen worked hard to train the water army and encouraged soldiers to be patriotic and resist the enemy. After the Japanese invaded the DPRK, he vowed: "I would like to die for a period of time, go straight into the tiger's den, sweep away the devil's breath and avenge my country's humiliation."
After the Japanese army landed, the naval fleet searched for the decisive battle of the Korean fleet in the waters south of South Korea. At that time, Park Hong, the left ambassador of Gyeongsangdo, and Yuan, the right ambassador of the Korean navy, both had more than 70 warships under their jurisdiction, occupying coastal and dangerous terrain. But they were so afraid of death that they threw the muskets into the sea and gave up the warships as shameful deserters. Only Jeollata can make water for Li Shunchen to lead his fleet to take the initiative.
On May 4th, 1592, Li Shunchen assembled 24 large board boats, 15 small carrier boats and 46 rescue boats, and sailed out of Lishui Port of Jeollanam-do in a formation. After the Japanese navy heard the news, Gao Hu sent rattan to lead more than 50 warships to meet, and Li Shunchen ambushed in the sea off Yupu Port east of Jodhi Island in Gyeongsangnam-do. On May 17, several North Korean warships lured Japanese ships out of the harbor. The North Korean ambush fleet immediately launched an attack. The Korean army fired a large number of rockets and burned Japanese ships with fireworks. Turtle ships also approached enemy ships and strafed the sailors on the decks of Japanese ships with cannons and muskets. The Japanese suffered heavy casualties and 26 ships were burned.
Li Shunchen's 56-point thrashing continued to deal a devastating blow to the Toyotomi Hideyoshi water army in Hepu and Chizhenpu. The fierce fighting didn't stop until May 9, when a * * * sank 44 Japanese ships. There was no loss of North Korean warships, and the casualties of the water army were very light. The North Korean navy won a total victory. Besides brave soldiers and well-organized generals, turtle boats also played a great role in the war. At that time, the North Korean army had only three turtle boats, which became the main force of naval battles, acting like Spanish medium-sized gunboats in the Battle of Rebanto. The Japanese navy was suddenly attacked by new weapons. Bows, arrows and bullets did not harm the turtle ship, causing great panic in the Japanese army. Some Japanese ships were directly sunk by turtle ships.
On May 29th, Li Shunchen led 26 warships out of Zuoshuiying, Jeollado, and launched the second attack on the Japanese navy. Encountering a Japanese ship 12 in Sichuan, Li Shunchen took bait tactics, pretending to retreat first, and then rushing into the port by high tide. The turtle boat broke into the enemy anchorage first, and the arrows and guns were fired in unison. It sank when it met the boat. In the fierce battle, Li Shunchen was injured in his left arm, and the bullet entered the meat two inches. But he remained unmoved and continued to command, inspiring the whole army and bravely killing the enemy.
Just after the Battle of Sichuan, Li Shunchen's fleet rushed into Tangpu again on June 2, sinking most Japanese ships in the port. On the third day, regardless of fatigue, the North Korean navy lured 26 enemy ships out of the sea at the mouth of Zhaosuo River in Gucheng County and wiped out all but one. On June 7, the South Korean fleet sank seven enemy ships in the Lipu Sea while searching along the coast. In this way, Li Shunchen's second attack was successful. * * * sank 72 Japanese ships and killed thousands of enemy soldiers.
After the yufu naval battle, the North Korean navy took a break and added some turtle boats to further practice tactics. As early as before the war, Li Shunchen paid attention to the tactics of the Japanese navy, and found that the Japanese navy was characterized by lax command, hasty operations and disorganization. The generals of the water army played completely according to the style of land warfare, and there was no neat formation. They attacked with only one evacuated single ship. Through several actual combat, he further mastered the weakness of the Japanese army. Seeing that the motherland was ravaged by the invaders and the people were brutally killed by the enemy, Li Shunchen and the soldiers of the water army were furious and determined to give a devastating blow to the main fleet near the Japanese Jiji Island.
1592 On July 6th, Jeollazo Island Fleet and Gyeongsangyo Fleet became the joint fleet of South Korea. Under the guidance of Li Shunchen, he came to the waters near Tangpu. On the morning of the 7th, Han Jun discovered the Japanese fleet near Liang Na. Li Shunchen sent five or six board houses (a large warship) to lure the enemy, but the Japanese didn't know what it was. Led by Japanese navy general Yasuji, they rushed out to catch up with North Korean ships. North Korea lured enemy ships and fought back, and finally retreated to the waters near Xianshan Island.
Xianshan Island is a desolate island between Korea Gucheng and Jiaodi Island. In view of the Japanese navy's offshore operations, easy to escape and land, Li Shunchen deliberately ambushed in the wide deep water. After the Japanese pursuit fleet entered the ambush waters, Li immediately raised the signal of "turning the bow and forming a wild goose wing array" at the flagship. North Korean troops outflanked enemy ships from two wings. Turtle boat took the lead and immediately attacked, sinking several enemy avant-garde ships. The Japanese military knew the trick and began to run away. North Korean ships bravely broke into enemy lines and bombarded Japanese ships with rockets and artillery. Turtle ship has the strongest fighting capacity, even if it is the fierce artillery fire on the Japanese Anzhai ship (similar to battleship) and Guanchuan ship (similar to cruiser), it is helpless to take its armor. Japanese ships were burned by rockets launched at close range and sank one after another. * * * There are 35 Anzhai ships, 7 closed ships 17, and 7 small boats, which are almost completely annihilated.
Then, Li Shunchen's fleet stormed the Japanese follow-up fleet stationed in Angupu. The fierce battle didn't end until July of 13, and the Korean army sank more than 40 Japanese ships. In the idle mountain naval battle, Threatsaka left Ma Yun in front of the sunken ship, ashamed, and committed suicide by caesarean section according to the tradition of Japanese samurai, and died with the fleet.
After the naval battle of Idle Mountain Island, Japan lost the right to control the sea in the Korean Strait. After several naval battles with Li Shunchen, he was defeated and weakened. Finally, he was completely afraid to go to war with Li Shunchen. Li Shunchen has repeatedly attacked Busan, which is heavily defended by Japanese troops. Japanese troop carriers and supply ships crossing the Korean Strait are shaking. Due to the lack of troops and supplies, the Japanese land offensive also lost momentum after occupying Pyongyang. Restricted to a few towns and traffic arteries, the Korean Rebels proliferated, and the imperial regular army recovered its fighting capacity. The Japanese invaders were caught between Scylla and Charybdis.
1593 65438+ 10, the general of the Ming dynasty, his younger brothers and lieutenants, Li Rumei, assembled 46,000 troops and vowed to cross the Yalu River and attack the Japanese invaders. 654381October 6, Li arrived in Pyongyang with a great army. That night, the Japanese general led the army to attack the Ming army and was repelled by Li. The next day, the Ming army besieged Pyongyang. Lee attacked the Seven-Star Gate and the Ordinary Gate in Pyongyang, while North Korean general Kim Young-Jui attacked the South Gate and deliberately did not move the East Gate. Zu Chengxun, deputy commander of the Ming Dynasty, ambushed outside the East Gate. Li Rusong took the lead and bid in person, and his mount was killed by gunfire in the fierce battle. He was fearless, shouted loudly and attacked with the soldiers. The Chinese and North Korean troops fought bravely to kill the enemy, and successfully captured Pyongyang, killing 1200 people.
Konishi Yukinaga, the Japanese chieftain, was defeated overnight in Datong River, and was ambushed by Chada Department 1200 troops in Ming Dynasty, killing 360 Japanese aggressors. Li's troops recaptured Kaesong in the pursuit war. The armies of China and North Korea gained great military strength, won the Yellow Sea, Ping 'an, Gyeonggi and Jiangyuan, and approached Wang Jing and Seoul. The Japanese defeated Longshan.
Because the Ming army won Lien Chan's victory, Li developed the thought of underestimating the enemy. He led a small number of cavalry units to venture forward and was ambushed by the superior Japanese army in Bitiguan area. The whole army was defeated and retreated to Kaesong. Although Li suffered setbacks, he was not discouraged. He found that Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a Japanese general, had hoarded hundreds of thousands of loads of grain in Longshan, preparing for a long-term confrontation with the Ming army. So he ordered Chada to attack Longshan. Chada was successfully attacked, burning Japanese food and grass into torches. The Japanese invaders were surprised and forced to give up Seoul. On April 18, the North Korean army recaptured Wang Jing. Under the massive attack of Chinese and Korean troops and rebel guerrillas, the Japanese invaders retreated to the front line along the coast of Busan and fought back.
Facing the excellent situation, the main factions of the ruling groups in North Korea and China began to emerge again. The king of South Korea is afraid that the people will arm themselves and threaten their rule. In the Ming court, the main peace faction headed by Shi Xing and Hou Qingyuan, ministers of the Ministry of War, also moved around. Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent Xiao Xifei to Beijing to negotiate with Shen Weijing. Li left Liu Ting, the deputy commander, and 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the important places in North Korea, and transferred troops from June 5438 to February the following year. He was named Prince Dabao by the Ming Dynasty. Li Shunchen was awarded the title of second-class Zhengxian by korean king for his outstanding achievements in the naval battle of Xianshan Island, and commanded the naval forces of Jeolla, Gyeongsang and Chungcheong. North Korea first established the title of commander of the three armed forces of the navy for him. Li Shunchen set out to rectify the water army after taking office. He set up a base camp on an idle mountain island to catch guns and turtles and prepare to defeat the enemy in the future war. The warring parties entered a four-year stage of peace talks and negotiations.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi learned a lesson from his defeat: if he wants to counterattack again from the beach position in Busan, he must ensure the sea control right in the Korean Strait so as to transport the soldiers' food to the front. The Korean navy in Li Shunchen controls the Strait, and unless it is removed, the war will be disastrous. Cunning Toyotomi Hideyoshi took advantage of the feudal king's inherent distrust of the great hero and used double agents to get rid of Li Shunchen.
1597 At the beginning of this year, a Japanese spy who sneaked into the Korean court was ordered to alienate the king and Li Shunchen. This Tsushima Island-born double spy is engaged in rampant activities, spreading in the ruling and opposition parties: Japanese general Fujimori stayed on the island in the Li Shunchen defense zone for seven days, but Li Shunchen did not arrest him; Li Shunchen's plot to seize the throne ... rumors spread to the South Korean king, who was worried that Li Shunchen's contribution was too great and would threaten himself. Admiral Yuan Jun and his associates were also jealous of Li Shunchen. Seize the opportunity to slander Li Shunchen. Therefore, korean king ordered the arrest of Li Shunchen, put him in prison on the charge of "letting the enemy generals go" and prepared to sentence him to death. Only many ministers defended Li Shunchen to the death, which saved him from the death penalty. Finally, the court dismissed Li Shunchen from all his posts, demoted him to an ordinary soldier, and sent him to join the patriotic general Li Quan's army. Although Li Shunchen was expelled from the army, he still kept his integrity. He continued reading the Art of War and studying martial arts, and was deeply worried about the fate of his motherland. His former subordinates and ordinary people often came to see him and were always moved by Li Shunchen's patriotic enthusiasm.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's plot came true. As soon as he heard that Li Shunchen had left, he interrupted the negotiations and refused to accept the position of "King of Japan" by the Ming Dynasty. 1597 In March, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent Konishi Yukinaga, Commander-in-Chief Katou Kiyomasa, 140000 Japanese troops, 10000 navy and hundreds of warships to invade North Korea again.
After Li Shunchen resigned, Haijiangyuan was reused and was appointed as Jeolla Zuoshui Ambassador and Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies. Yuan is a fatuous and incompetent villain who only cares about pleasure and corrupts the painstakingly managed North Korean navy to the point where it is impossible to fight.
1597 In August, with the cooperation of secret agents, the Japanese navy suddenly attacked the Korean fleet at Chuan Dao anchorage. The North Korean navy was caught off guard and suffered a fiasco. In September, the Japanese navy took the opportunity to attack and capture Xianshan Island. The North Korean navy, which once let the Japanese army flee on the news, was defeated again and again, most of the ships were lost, and the whole army was on the verge of collapse. The Japanese striker approached Wang Jing, and the Li court was once again in jeopardy.
The survival of the country is at stake, and people in North Korea's ruling and opposition parties shouted: "Re-enable Li Shunchen!" Forced by the crisis, the king re-appointed Li Shunchen as the commander-in-chief of the Third Water Army in August 1597. At that time, he was 52 years old, and the whole army and the whole country cheered for his important task. Li Shunchen was still ambitious when he was in danger, but his mighty fleet was only 12 warships.
Seeing that the navy no longer existed, korean king ordered Li Shunchen to land and fight. In response to Wang Yu's opinion, he said, "In the five or six years since Renchen, thieves dare not come from one place, so they can steer the boat." I still have twelve warships. If I refuse to fight with all my might, I can still do it ... although there are few warships, I dare not humiliate me. "He refuted the idea of landing the navy and resolutely led the small fleet to participate in the war regardless of age.
Li Shunchen's fighting style, like many famous naval generals, has always advocated bold attacks. 1597 On August 28th, his 12 warship fought naval battles in Lanpu and Liang Ming, which severely damaged the arrogant Japanese navy. In the naval battle of Liang Ming alone, Li Shunchen was outnumbered, killing more than 4,000 people and sinking more than 30 enemy ships. It greatly boosted North Korea's military strength and regained the sea control right of Jeollanam-do. 1598 February, Li Shunchen moved to Gujin Island, where he established a solid naval base. The defeated Korean fleet, once commanded by Li Shunchen, is like a dragon at sea, which is hard for the Japanese to resist. At the same time, China and Lu Haijun, as North Korea's allies, once again appeared on the Korean battlefield.
As early as the spring of 1597, at the request of the North Korean government, the Ming government began to prepare for anti-Japanese military affairs. Ming Shenzong appointed Ma Gui, the former commander-in-chief, as the company commander of the Japanese army to unify the north and south armies; The Ministry of War was ordered to treat Lang Xing mustard as an official, and the governors of Hebei, Liaoning and Baoding were responsible for military affairs. 1597 At the end of the year, Ma Gui, Liu Ding, Dong Yiyuan and Chen Wei led the China Water Army to fight in the DPRK in four ways.
Shanxi famous Ma Gui, brave and wise, defeated War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Ma Guibu helped Xie Sheng wipe out many Japanese invaders in the Battle of Jishan. General Peng Youde of Magway conquered Castle Peak fortress in one fell swoop. The troops commanded by North Korean general Lee moved to Chungcheongnam-do, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders. The Japanese army suffered repeated defeats and wars. Konishi Yukinaga was repelled to Gyeonggi in the south of Korea, and Katou Kiyomasa was defeated in Gyeongju, Japan. In the face of the joint offensive of the DPRK-China army, the Japanese army was defeated. The northern invasion was completely shattered, and the Japanese invaders could only stand in isolated strongholds along the coast of South Korea. They also fantasize that they can stand firm and make a comeback as they did five years ago.
The DPRK-China army learned the painful lesson of "don't chase the enemy" in the Renchen War and was determined to destroy all aggressors. The Japanese fortress along the coast has been in operation for many years, and it is extremely strong and the situation is extremely tragic. After South China and North Korea captured Gyeongju, Li's younger brother, Li Rumei, conquered Ulsan, a strategic place. Dong Yiyuan, the general of Ming Dynasty, even pulled out Jinchuan, Wangjin, Yongchun and Kunming. He led the remnant Japanese army to guard the island fortress, and was stormed by the death squad of Ming General Mao, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army. The reason why the remnants of the Japanese army can stay on the Korean territory regardless of life and death is because they still have hope for the pacifists in the Chinese and South Korean governments. With the deepening of the battle, this illusion has also been shattered. Chen Mingxing exposed Shen Weijing as a Japanese spy and arrested him. Shi Xing, a capitulator, was arrested and imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hopes were dashed, he felt that his future was bleak. He died of grief in August of 1598.
When the land war against the Japanese aggressors was going on, the great naval battle began. Chen Wei, a navy general in the Ming Dynasty, commanded a powerful fleet composed of hundreds of warships, took13,000 soldiers into North Korean waters, and cooperated with Li Shunchen to block the three ports of Gyeongsang, Jeolla and Chungcheong. After losing supplies at sea, the remaining Japanese troops trapped in strongholds such as Shuntian have become turtles in a jar.
1598165438+1October, a naval battle with exposed beams broke out between the Korean navy and the Japanese navy. Lvliang naval battle is the largest and most heroic naval battle in the six-year Great Patriotic War of Korea, and it is also a famous naval battle in the history of world naval battles.
1598165438+1October 17, Sichuan port is full of sails. Japanese sailors nervously carried weapons and tens of thousands of army officers boarded the ship. Japanese general Yoshihiro Shimazu raised the flag at the flagship and directed more than 500 warships to leave the port to rescue Konishi Yukinaga from the sea. Konishi Yukinaga was trapped in Shuntian Japanese Bridge in Jeollanam-do by the DPRK-China allied forces. When the Japanese fleet hurried forward and reached the sea surface of Lvliang, Nanhai County, Gyeongsangnam-do (now south of Joongwoo, North Korea), the Japanese observer exclaimed: "The powerful DPRK-China joint fleet surrounded us!"
Chen Wei's army is a Guangdong navy, and it is extremely good at participating in water wars. His deputies, Deng Zilong and Chen Can, were also one of the few naval generals in the Ming Dynasty. Li Shunchen's elite fleet has been ready for a long time, and it is necessary to destroy the Japanese fleet to repay the nation's blood feud and hatred. 1 18 10/8 night, the Japanese fleet entered the ambush circle of the DPRK-China joint fleet. The joint fleet has an overwhelming advantage in quantity, especially in quality.
After the North Korean navy approached the Japanese ship, it bombarded the enemy ship with heavy artillery. Li Shunchen inserted its flagship into Shimadzu Fleet. When I saw the national flag of Li Shunchen that day, they ran away in fear. China navy general Deng Zilong commanded more than 1000 sailors, who took three giant warships and also entered the enemy's defense. China is a great ship, and a thousand ships are high. The officers and men took advantage of this and launched many rockets. Japanese ships caught fire after being hit by rockets and kept burning and sinking. The fire reflected the night sky.
Deng Zilong, an old general in his seventies, was as brave as a tiger in the naval battle. He felt that long-range archery was not enough, so he ordered soldiers to board Japanese ships. He personally led 300 strong men to jump on enemy ships for hand-to-hand combat and killed the enemy. Many Japanese troops were cut to pieces by him. Meteor-like rockets are flying on the sea, and the fire of the cannon is like a gorgeous holiday fireworks. The navy's shouting, beating and killing of North Korea completely overwhelmed the fierce flames of Japanese robbers. After a night of fierce fighting, Shimadzu Lianghong lost more than 40 warships. His sailors were frightened by the bravery and firepower of the joint fleet and had no intention of fighting again. Shimadzu ordered the breakout and retreat.
165438+1October 19, the east shines. The Japanese fleet narrowly escaped the encirclement. The South Korean fleet followed closely and soon caught up with the Japanese fleet. The Japanese army is still fighting, and a more intense naval battle has begun. The Deng Zilong ship rushed into the enemy ship, and the morning fog was very heavy, making it difficult to tell the enemy from me. A friendly warship mistakenly fired a rocket at the Deng Zilong ship, and other kindling also ignited his ship. In an instant, one of China's most fearless warships in the naval battle burst into flames. Japanese ships recognized Deng Zilong's flag and immediately surrounded him with many ships to attack. In the fierce battle, veteran Deng Zilong died heroically.
Li Shunchen saw that Deng Zilong's flagship was surrounded by fire and immediately rushed to reinforce it. Unfortunately, a stray bullet hit his left chest, blood gushed out and he fell on the deck. The Ministry of Magic will gather to rescue him. He said with difficulty, "The battle is very tense. Leave me alone. You must continue to fight. " Soon, Li Shunchen closed his eyes. The blood of Chinese and Korean soldiers flowed together in the anti-aggression war.
The North Korean navy was furious and the whole army vowed to avenge Li Shunchen. They fought bravely and killed the Japanese army. Just as the Japanese army was dying, Chen Can, deputy commander of the Ming Dynasty, and Ji Jin, a guerrilla general, led the support fleet to the battlefield. This batch of China fresh troops is like a rainbow, surrounded by Japanese warships. The enemy lost the will to fight, and one warship after another was burned by the allies. At noon on 19, the sound of guns gradually became scarce. According to statistics, 450 Japanese warships were burned and sunk. All the defeated Japanese troops who were lucky enough to land were also annihilated by the Chinese and Korean troops. Thousands of Japanese soldiers died in a naval battle with large exposure beams. All the naval forces on which the Japanese invaders launched the war of aggression were almost wiped out in the naval battle in Lvliang.
Konishi Yukinaga made Lu Liang lose his mind. Without backup, he was trapped in an isolated city, fighting and competing. Ming led Liu Ting's death squads into Shuntian City, and Chen Wei's navy advanced from Shuntian Bay, burning down more than 100 warships. Japanese navy general Shizi Man sent reinforcements to the fleet, but Xie Chen intercepted them and most of them were destroyed.
The remaining Japanese invaders retreated to the Yishan fortress by the sea in an attempt to fight back with the natural barrier of Yishan. Chen Wei led his troops to attack Mount B at night. They set up a cannon between the cliff and the cave and violently attacked the Japanese defenders. The soldiers of the Ming army crossed the mountains and mountains, seized Mount B, and destroyed the remnants of the Japanese army. Konishi Yukinaga and Katou Kiyomasa lost all their money in the war of aggression and returned to the Japanese island.
The six-year Great Patriotic War of Korea is over. Both on land and at sea, the Japanese invaders were completely defeated. The victory of the Non-Chen War prevented the Japanese ruling clique from invading Korea for hundreds of years. This series of great naval battles left a glorious chapter in the naval history of North Korea and China. History has proved that whoever wants to enslave a nation will be punished.
