He was upright and upright, worried about the country and the people all his life, pursued justice, and had no regrets in several adversity. At the age of 47, he served as the ambassador of our navy in Jeollazo Island (commander of the Jeollazo Island Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Republic of Korea), actively trained the navy, built defensive positions, and created an armored warship "Turtle Boat" to prevent Japanese invasion. Finally, he was shot and killed in the exposed beam naval battle.
Li Shunchen was born in Ganchuandong, Seoul on 1545. The Li Deshui family is a noble family, but when Li Shunchen was born, his family declined. His younger brother, Ming Zong, was succeeded by his mother, Queen Wen Ding, as Regent. Since then, the Li dynasty has long been caught in the whirlpool of disputes between consorts and cronies. Li Shunchen's father, Li Zhen, was born in a family affected by the scholar-bureaucrat disaster (the political struggle between the scholar-bureaucrat groups in the Li Dynasty), so he could not become famous all his life, and his family wealth was reduced to poverty and hardship. When I was a child, Li Shunchen moved to Yashan on Zhongqing Road.
As a teenager, Li Shunchen liked to dance with knives and guns. He often walks around the village with a slingshot and shoots pedestrians in mischief. There is a saying in his neighbor that "all elders are afraid to answer the door." He often imitates the marching arrangements with his playmates, and he also commands in an orderly way to defeat the "enemy" in slapstick.
1 1 years old began to study in private schools, with brilliant articles and little achievement. However, when Li Shunchen is free, he rides a horse and hunts, plays with fists and sticks, and is bent on joining the army.
At the age of 22, he officially started practicing martial arts with a sword. Because he paid attention to martial arts since childhood, Li Shunchen was proficient in all kinds of weapons, and because of his profound cultural background, he read all the classics of military strategists such as Sun Tzu and Woods.
In A.D. 1577, Li Shunchen was admitted as a martial arts teacher. Before that, he had participated in the equestrian test and was thrown to the ground because of abnormal mounts. Wu Sheng and the examiner were shocked, but he stood up on one leg, limped to a willow tree, broke some bark and branches, and bandaged himself. Due to the accident, the exam can't continue.

Since 159 1, Japan has been actively preparing for the war of aggression against Korea. When the country was in danger, Li Shunchen was entrusted with an important naval position in the Jeollazo Island Water Army. After Li Shunchen took office, he made every effort to strengthen the naval construction and prepare for the war of aggression. He focused on rectifying the army and reforming weapons. In reorganizing the army, he absorbed the fine tradition of the Korean navy and the advanced experience of foreign countries, and reformed the battle formation, strategy and tactics of its navy. And strengthen the patriotic education for the troops, so that the commanders and fighters become brave soldiers loyal to the motherland and good at fighting. Advanced weapons are an important factor in defeating the enemy. In order to improve the fighting capacity of the North Korean navy, Li Shunchen also reformed the "Turtle Boat". The improved turtle boat is more than 10 feet long and 10 feet wide. The hull and the "turtle shell" on it are made of hardwood and covered with iron plates, so it is not easy for enemy gunfire to hurt it. There are also many nails on the iron plate, which makes it impossible for the enemy to climb in the battle. There is a big faucet at the bow with two holes in it. During the journey, you can burn sulfur and other things in the boat and spray smoke from Longkou, which can hide yourself and confuse the enemy. There are many gun holes around the hull, which is convenient for soldiers to fire at the enemy inside the ship. At the same time, there are 10 paddles on both sides of the ship, which paddle together in the battle, sail quickly and advance and retreat freely. The enlarged hull can store more fresh water and grain, which is suitable for long-term and long-distance navigation. After the transformation of Li Shunchen, Turtle Boat was put into mass production immediately, which played a great role in the later Nonchen Great Patriotic War.
1592 After the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in Korea, more than 200,000 Japanese troops invaded Korea and quickly captured Wang Jing, Kaesong, Pyongyang and other places, occupying more than half of the Korean peninsula. South Korea called this period of history "a non-Sino-Japanese rebellion". At the request of the Korean dynasty, the Ming dynasty sent troops to help, and since then, a seven-year war between the Chinese and Korean soldiers and civilians against the Japanese aggressors has begun, which is known in history as the "Renchen Patriotic War".
