Chapter 57: The Battle Fails

Just after the Joseon Imperial Court decided to release Yi Sunsin, Won Gyun, the commander of the Korean naval army, ruled the envoy.

But it led the Korean naval army to the abyss of death, and at this moment, the Yuan Jun ruler was facing hundreds of ships from the Japanese invaders.

is also helpless, and now there is only Yi Sunsin, who is the god of the Korean navy.

Only in order to redeem the defeat of the Korean navy, and only Yi Sunsin will do his best for the country.

However, the Joseon court and Seonjo were very wary of those who were stronger than themselves and had many popular hearts.

His Royal Highness Seonjo of the DPRK is also because he cannot tolerate people who are stronger than himself, and he cannot tolerate those who have made meritorious contributions to the country and the hearts of the people.

It also made many Korean meritorious officials, especially cold, and gradually resented the heart of North Korea's Xuanzu.

And the Lord Yuanjun, who did not dare to go on the expedition again, was severely punished by Marshal Quan Li.

In the current situation, the DPRK naval army, which has long been a waste of time and wine, has long lost its combat effectiveness to continue the campaign.

And at this moment, only Yi Sunsin, who is a sinner in white, can save the situation of the complete defeat of the Korean navy.

And after Yuan Jun was punished by Marshal Kwon Li, he could only lead the Korean naval army into the arms of death.

Under the command of Wakisaka Yasuji, the Japanese navy was about to face the Korean navy, and Wakisaka Yasuharu also vowed to avenge Yi Sunsin's revenge.

As a result, on July 10 and 16, 1597, a naval battle broke out at Chicheon-liang in Korea, in which all more than 200 Korean warships were sunk by the Japanese invaders.

Only 12 ships were saved from the main fleet, and several naval commanders were killed in the battle.

After retreating to Chicheon Island, Wongyun, as the commander of the system, was also killed by the ruthless Japanese pirates, so that the Korean naval army was unified in the southern waters of Korea.

At the same time, it also means that the Japanese have recaptured the life supply line in southern Korea.

More military rations and weapons could be sent to the interior of North Korea, so just after breaking the blockade of the North Korean naval forces.

The Japanese can drive straight into the hinterland of North Korea, and even the eight provinces of North Korea are already in danger.

This naval battle can also be said to be the annihilation of the Korean naval army, and Wakisaka Yasuji, who was a Japanese robber, made a lot of contributions.

Although the defeat of the naval battle of Qichuan Island was angry at Yuan Jun's reckless attack, he was divided by the Japanese naval army without grasping the battlefield situation.

The deceived Seonjo and the Joseon court should be held even more responsible.

So Marshal Kwon Li, after finding Yi Sunsin, informed the defeat of the Korean naval army to Yi Sunsin, a sinner in white who was worried about the country and the people.

At this moment, North Korea, which has only twelve warships, can be described as a great defeat, and when he heard such a crushing defeat, Joseon Seonjo thought that God had abandoned the Joseon court and His Royal Highness Seonjo.

At this moment, after the complete victory of the naval army, the Japanese army will drive the army north to Hanyang, the capital of Korea.

But the most fortunate thing is that the Daemyung official army is stationed in Namwon, Jeolla Province, and 4,000 soldiers are stationed in Chungju, Chungju Province.

At this moment, Xuanzu should urgently notify the Ming army, and it is better to urgently respond to the re-invasion of the Japanese and make preparations in advance.

He also asked Bibian Sima Shang to convene the ministers for urgent discussions, and finally restored Yi Sunsin's rights and status as the ruling minister.

But even if the status and rights of Yi Sunsin were restored, what was the use, after all, there were only twelve warships left in the Korean navy.

And Yang Ho, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty who stayed in North Korea at this moment, entered Hanyang, the capital of North Korea, and met with King Seonjo of North Korea under the summons of His Royal Highness Seonjo.

At this moment, Yang Hao, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, also heard that the Korean naval army had been wiped out, but at this moment, Yang Hao asked Joseon Seonjo to establish the military affairs yamen of the Ming Prime Minister.

With the consent of Seonjo, the Yamen of the Ming Dynasty Military Prime Minister was established, and the decision of North Korea to fully support Yang Ho was decided when Yang Ho did not promise peace talks.

At this moment, Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) is worried that Yang Hao is Song Yingchang's generation or the generation of crazy words.

At this moment, Yi Sunsin has also been restored to his official position and status, and has re-become the commander of the navy.

After Yi Sunsin's arrival, the navy army was strictly reorganized, and the subordinates of the navy army at this moment were extremely relieved and happy to see Yi Sunsin's return.

And another blow to Yi Sunsin at this moment was that His Royal Highness Seonjo finally issued an edict to disintegrate the naval army and merge it into the army.

However, at this moment, Yi Sunsin, the commander of the navy, insisted on his own opinion and wrote to Seonjo to lead twelve warships to fight against the Japanese navy.

At this moment, during the celebration ceremony held in the Busan Japanese military camp, the originally festive atmosphere was interrupted by Kato Kiyomasa.

So at the suggestion of Kato Kiyomasa, Captain Ukita Hideya made the decision to take advantage of this victory to continue attacking Korea.

Konishi Yukicho was responsible for attacking Jeolla Province, and Kato Kiyomasa was responsible for attacking Gyeongsang Province and Chungcheong-do.

So in Jeolla Province, which was attacked by Governor Konishi, the Japanese soldiers committed great crimes against the Korean people.

Not only killing the Korean people, but also cutting off the noses of all the dead bodies according to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's orders.

In August 1597, without the hindrance of the Korean navy, the Japanese army that landed directly encountered no obstacles.

They attacked Gyeongsang-do, Jeolla-do, and Chungcheong-do, wantonly slaughtering Korean civilians and cutting off their noses in the process.

And escorted all the scholars and skilled people of North Korea back to the island country of Wako, and the city of Namwon, where the Ming and Korean coalition forces were located.

and all the cities of Jeonju were fallen by the Japanese invaders, but at this moment, His Royal Highness Seonjo has the intention of moving the capital again.

So at this moment, Xuanzu was forced by the pressure of public opinion, so he could only send Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) to the Yamen, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

To coordinate military affairs at the same time to report the defection of the Ming official army to Lord Yang Hao,

However, when Lord Yang Ho heard that Yang Yuan, the deputy commander of the defenders of Nanyuan City, and Chen Yuzhong, a guerrilla general in Jeonju, had defected.

At the same time, the North Korean generals were desperately resisting, but in the end they all died heroically.

In the meeting between Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) and Yang Hao, it was finally determined that the pre-war defense line of the Ming official army and the Korean official army was in the area of Jishan.

At this moment, the Korean official army was led by Sun Yuanxin, the observer of Hamgyong Province, with more than 1,000 troops, and the Ming army was composed of 2,000 cavalry and artillery soldiers.

Then it would be better to attack with cavalry after the artillery attack was in disarray, and then use cavalry to attack.

At this moment, Li Shanhai (Bi Chao), as a northerner, was also named out of the mountain by His Royal Highness Seonjo, and Li Shanhai (Bi Chao), who returned to the Korean court, began to care about the Korean situation.

And at this moment, the Ming official army and the Korean official army in the Jishan area finally resisted the attack from the Japanese army.

At this moment, there was news from Busan that interested Yi Sun-sin.

That is, just opposite Busan, there are several hundred Japanese warships, which are about to reach the south coast of Korea, so at the moment there are only twelve warships.

Determined to die, he prepared to meet the attack of hundreds of Japanese warships on the south coast of Korea.

The famous Battle of Mingliang was also about to be successfully repelled by hundreds of Japanese ships under the leadership of Yi Sunsin.
