147 Sea Battle
"Next, let's talk about the naval battle of Hansando. Why did Yi Sun-sin choose the waters of Hansando for the decisive battle? There is a reason for this."

"An experienced general like Yi Sun-sin would naturally not choose the battle location randomly, so let's listen to Li Sun-sin's battle plan together."

"Because the sea area of ​​Hansando Island has a relatively wide deep water area, and it is easy to set up an ambush, the Japanese fleet can be surrounded and quickly wiped out."

"So what's the result? Obviously, the North Korean navy has won."

"Shortly after the start of the decisive battle, the Korean navy surrounded the Japanese fleet. At this moment, several Korean turtle ships rushed directly towards the Japanese ships that were at the forefront."

"The Japanese army's large ship was hit and sunk, and the whole army suddenly became flustered. The North Korean navy took advantage of this opportunity to bravely kill the enemy and fight the Japanese army to the death."

"In the end, forty warships of the Japanese Navy were sunk. This is the victory of Hansando Island. If you are interested, you can search later. Maybe there will be more detailed information."

"Okay, now let's talk about another important naval battle, which is called the Pusanpo naval battle in the history books."

"Since the Japanese army occupied Busan, a large number of Japanese military supplies have been continuously sent from Tsushima Island and Nagoya Castle in RB Kyushu, transshipped through Busan, and then delivered to Japanese troops in North Korea."

"In order to cut off the Japanese supply line and save the completely defeated Korean army, Yi Sun-shin planned to take the initiative to attack and directly occupy Busan."

"So Yi Sun-sin led Zuoshuiying to set off and arrived in the Pusan ​​waters the next day, but what Yi Sun-sin did not expect was that the Japanese army was already ready for defense at this time."

"In this way, the sneak attack of the North Korean army can only fail. The North Korean general Chung Un was killed and suffered heavy losses. Yi sun-shin's plan to occupy Pusan ​​failed."

"Why do you say that the Pusanpu naval battle is more important? This is mainly because after this battle, the Japanese army successfully found a way to deal with the North Korean navy. So what method did the Japanese army find?"

"It is said that after the Japanese army stationed at Pusanpu got a way to deal with the North Korean navy, they quickly suggested that Toyotomi Hideyoshi change tactics. What tactics? Stick to the stronghold."

"That's right, the Japanese army's new way to deal with the North Korean navy is to stick to their strongholds. In other words, if I can't beat you at sea, can I still not be able to defend if you attack me?"

"Okay, then the Korean navy and the Japanese navy fought several naval battles in succession, all of which ended in the failure of the Korean navy."

"For example, shortly after the Battle of Busanpo, Yi sun-shin made another attack, intending to attack the Japanese army base at Changmonpo, but was repulsed by the Japanese again."

"For example, the subsequent naval battles of Xiongchuan, Tangxiangpu, and Yeongdeungpo all ended with the repelling of the Korean army."

"Speaking of which, we have talked about the battle on land and the battle on the sea. After a period of stalemate, the Japanese army plans to negotiate a peace with the Ming army."

"Hey, the method of negotiating a peace is actually not what Zhu Yijun really wants to see, but because the situation in North Korea at that time has undergone drastic changes."

"It is said that in June 1593, the Korean War reached a stalemate because the fighting took too long, which led to the epidemic of plague, and the Japanese army had problems in requisitioning military rations in Korea."

"But the most important reason is that the Japanese army suffered heavy blows from the Ming army and the Korean army on both land and sea. In order to preserve the four southern roads of Korea under their control, they had to come up with this method."

"The Japanese army first sent people to find the then governor of Liaodong, and discussed the peace talks. Because the matter was so important, the envoys of the Japanese army and Shen Weijing, the envoys of the Ming army, went to BJ City to negotiate a peace."

"Although Zhu Yijun is dissatisfied with the situation of the peace negotiation, he still has to consider the situation of the Ming army stationed in North Korea. After careful consideration, Zhu Yijun decided to negotiate a peace with the Japanese army."

"In July, the imperial court issued an edict ordering Li Rusong to withdraw his troops. Where should they withdraw? Of course, they were withdrawn to Sidao, northern North Korea, in order to prevent the Japanese army from cheating."

"However, although Li Rusong led the army to retreat, he still kept an eye out and let Liu Ting and Wu Weizhong lead 7000 people to garrison key points to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking."

"But at this time, Shi Xing, the Minister of War, was determined to advocate peace. Shangshu told Zhu Yijun that since he wanted to negotiate peace, he had to show some sincerity to the Japanese army, right?"

"There's no other way, Zhu Yijun had no choice but to order Wu Weizhong to withdraw, leaving only Liu Ting's troops to continue stationing at the key points."

"In September, although the king of North Korea, Li Yan, thanked the Ming court for sending troops to rescue and restore the country, he was dissatisfied with the fact that the Ming army and the Japanese army secretly negotiated peace and excluded North Korea."

"At this time, North Korea only controlled the four provinces in the north, while the four provinces in the south were still firmly controlled by the Japanese army, and Busan City was also in their hands."

"In December, the imperial court appointed Gu Yangqian, governor of Jiliao, to take care of North Korea's affairs, and formally recalled Li Rusong and Song Yingchang from North Korea to return to China. Zhu Yijun ordered the Ming army to retreat from North Korea."

"Although the retreat is a retreat, Zhu Yijun still kept his mind on it, saying that Japanese love is treacherous, and he can't say it's over."

"Zhu Yijun meant to say, don't think that we have already negotiated a peace with the Japanese army, and this matter is over. The Japanese army is very cunning, but don't think that this matter is over."

"Okay, on May 1593, 5, which coincided with the 8st year of Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun's Wanli calendar, Toyotomi Hideyoshi met the Ming Dynasty peace mission that arrived in RB Nagoya Castle."

"This...Because of the language barrier, Shen Weijing and President Konishi will settle the specific talks on the peace talks between the two parties. Toyotomi Hideyoshi proposed seven conditions for tomorrow's peace."

"Let's talk about it. The first one is to marry the princess of Ming Dynasty as the emperor and empress of RB. The second one is to develop tomorrow's trade. The third one is to pledge the military attaches of the two countries forever."

"Article [-], North Korea's capital city and its northern four provinces are returned to North Korea, while the southern four provinces are ceded to RB. Article [-], North Korea sends a prince to RB as a proton."

"Article [-], return the second prince of North Korea and other North Korean officials captured by RB, and article [-], the North Korean ministers will never betray RB."

"Shen Weijing agreed to these seven conditions without even thinking about it. He just wanted to quickly negotiate a peace tomorrow and then return to China."

"And when Xie Yongzi and Xu Yiguan, members of the accompanying mission, asked him how the meeting was going, Shen Weijing falsely said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had agreed to become a minister, asked for tribute, and immediately withdrew from North Korea."

"President Konishi reported to Toyotomi Hideyoshi that the envoy of the Ming Dynasty has agreed to the seven conditions you set out, and now he only needs to send someone to go back to BJ City with the envoy and ask Emperor Wanli for approval. .”
