Chapter 151
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about the Naval Battle of Mingliang, let's talk about a naval battle that is as important as the Naval Battle of Mingliang, the Naval Battle of Luliang."

"It is said that in 1598, Japanese general Hideaki Kobayakawa led more than 7 people back to China for repairs, and ordered Kato Kiyomasa, Shimadzu Yoshihiro and other Japanese generals to lead 4000 people to defend the Japanese-occupied area."

"At this time, the Ming army saw that the Japanese army had withdrawn to the country, and felt that the time had come, so Xing Jie divided the Ming army into four land and water groups, and set up a general for each group."

"What are you doing? Of course, they are preparing to attack the Japanese army in the Japanese-occupied area. It is said that Li Rumei will attack from the middle, Ma Gui will take the east road, Liu Ting will take the west road, and Chen Lin will go to the Japanese-occupied area by water. .”

"At the beginning, the Ming army's plan was to defend important areas and wait for opportunities. When attacking, about 5 troops from each group would attack in three groups."

"Magui led the army to attack Ulsan, and Li Rumei led the army and Liu Ting to attack Sacheon and Suncheon. Here, I want to explain that the Central Route Army led by Li Rumei was later replaced by the Ming army general Dong Yiyuan."

"Okay, let's say it was at the end of September in person. Magui once again led his army to surround Kato Kiyomasa's troops in Ulsan. The two armies fought like a raging fire, each winning or losing."

"But at a critical moment, the Japanese general Tachibana Zongshige led more than 1000 people to attack Magui's rear position, and later ambushed a wave of Ming troops. Magui had no choice but to retreat first."

"In October, the commander-in-chief Liu Ting and Ma Gui divided their forces to attack the Japanese army and defeated the Japanese army."

"However, there was a major incident on the other side of the Ming army. It is said that Dong Yiyuan led 3 troops to attack Sacheon, and the Japanese general Yoshihiro Shimazu was defending Sacheon, with a total of about 7000 troops."

"The problem lies in the Ming army barracks. It is said that during the attack, the continuous firing of the artillery caused the bombardment."

"This bombing directly triggered a chain effect. First, the nearby artillery was blown up, and then the fire burned to the arsenal, which caused the arsenal to explode. The entire barracks was in a mess."

"The Japanese general Yoshihiro Shimadzu who was stationed in Sacheon saw it, hey, there was an explosion in the barracks of the Ming army. God gave a good opportunity, so he led the army out of the city to fight back."

"This matter is also recorded in historical materials, according to Zhuge Yuansheng's "Pyongyang Records of Two Dynasties":
"General, the wooden pole has broken a gate and several battlements, and Peng's soldiers are all dead in the capital. They have never practiced warfare and are not good at firearms; I was in a state of panic for a while. Taking advantage of the gap, the Japanese rushed out from the small gate in front and charged at Peng Bing, and all of them were routed...Peng Bing had three thousand soldiers, only fifty or sixty remained."

"Not only Dong Yiyuan's side failed because of the cannon explosion, but the Ming army's attack on Shuntian City also ended in failure."

"In October, the news that Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in RB Kyoto's Fushimi Castle reached North Korea in August. When the Japanese army heard about it, their morale dropped sharply and they began to prepare to retreat."

"Speaking of which, the Second Battle of Korea is almost over, but some small things happened later. Just listen to me."

"In November, due to the serious drop in morale, the Japanese army had no intention of fighting and began to withdraw from Ulsan. After the Ming army learned of the news, they split up to attack the Japanese army and severely injured the Japanese army."

"On the other side, Kato Kiyomasa led the army to retreat by boat. The Ming army was under the command of Chen Lin, the admiral of the navy, Deng Zilong, the deputy general, and Ma Wenhuan, the guerrilla general."

"It is said that the Ming army sent hundreds of warships, which were distributed in Chungcheong-do, Jeolla-do, and Gyeongsang-do. As soon as the Japanese warships came out, they would immediately attack."

"And just as the Japanese army was retreating, Chen Lin dispatched Deng Zilong and North Korean general Yi Sun-sin to jointly attack, intending to intercept the Japanese reinforcements who wanted to rescue Chief Konishi on the Luliang Sea."

"At that time, the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army included Tachibana Munemo, Shimadzu Yoshihiro, Kobayakawa Hidetaka, and Soyoshi Tomo and Terasawa Hiroko."

"The war was about to break out. Deng Zilong personally led three warships to attack the Japanese army and acted as the vanguard, intending to engage in a decisive battle with the Japanese army."

"Furthermore, Deng Zilong planned to die with the Japanese army. When he boarded the ship, he brought [-] death squads with him, and directly attacked the Japanese command ship."

"But what's the saying? If you're not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you're afraid of teammates who are like pigs. Unfortunately, Deng Zilong met his pig teammates."

"It is said that Deng Zilong personally led three warships to attack the Japanese command ship. However, the artillery that provided cover for Deng Zilong in the rear accidentally hit Deng Zilong's warship with shells."

"The result is conceivable. The battleship was bombed by our own artillery, and a fire broke out, which eventually led to the death of Deng Zilong. It's a pity, isn't it?"

"And after Deng Zilong's death, the Ming army was in chaos. Li Sunshin led the sailors to rescue and rushed into the Japanese fleet, but was surrounded by Japanese troops. Unfortunately, Li Sunshin was hit by stray bullets and died in battle."

"The top commanders of both armies were killed, and the Ming army was forced to continue fighting. Later, Ming army deputy generals Chen Chan and Ji Jin led reinforcements to attack the Japanese army. The Japanese army retreated because they succeeded in getting Konishi out of trouble. "

"At this time, Liu Ting led the army to continue to attack Xingchang Xiaoxi, and captured Qiaozhai. Chen Lin led the fleet to attack together with Liu Ting, sinking several enemy ships."

"On the Japanese side, Yoshihiro Shimadzu, the friend of Governor Konishi, led the fleet to rescue, and Chen Lin led the army to meet and repel them."

"As a result, the Japanese army who came to the rescue had no choice but to sail away, and Tachibana Muneshige, as the rear troops, managed to escape from the Korean battlefield after receiving Governor Konishi."

"The Mingliang naval battle ended here. This battle resulted in the death of Deng Zilong, the admiral of the navy of the Ming army, and the supreme commander of the Korean navy, Yi Sunshin, was also killed in this battle. The loss was relatively large."

"But this battle was the final battle of the Second Battle of Korea. Although the Ming and Korean troops suffered heavy losses, the Japanese army, which was eager to retreat, also suffered a heavy blow."

"In December, some Japanese troops smuggled from Yishan for various reasons and wanted to return to RB."

"The Ming army was unable to attack the Japanese troops who had already smuggled in because the cliffs on the shore were too high and the water on the shore was relatively shallow."

"In the middle of the night, Chen Lin led his troops to sneak attack on the Japanese army, and even fired a series of cannons at the Japanese army. The Japanese army was shocked and had to retreat in a hurry. Chen Lin led his army to continue the pursuit."

"In April 1599, when the Ming army returned from the North Korean squadron, Zhu Yijun, the Wanli emperor, personally ascended to the Meridian Gate and accepted 4 Japanese prisoners of war presented by the governor Xing Jie."

"Afterwards, Zhu Yijun ordered the prisoners' heads to be cut off and sent to the world to show God's power."

"On the same day, Zhu Yijun accepted the congratulations from hundreds of officials, offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple, and gave equal portions of the fruit, wine, and water used for the sacrifice to the ministers. The next month, he promulgated the "Edict to Ping the Japanese" and used this edict to inform the world that the Ming army had obtained Total victory."
