The Korean War, which broke out in the 1950s, is hailed as the first state-building battle of the Republic, and of course, according to records, China has actually put in military operations on the peninsula in the east, which is only 3,000 miles in area, at least four times in history.
The first time, in the Tang Dynasty, there were three countries in Northeast Asia at that time, namely Goguryeo, Silla, baekje, in order to help Silla unify the peninsula, and at the same time drive the invaders from the Japanese island out of the peninsula, the Tang Dynasty army crossed the ocean to the peninsula and repelled the enemy army, the second time, in the Ming Dynasty, the third time, it was in the Qing Dynasty, that is, most Chinese are familiar with the Sino-Japanese War, but this time, due to military technology, soldiers' will to fight, etc., China was defeated.
The fourth time, which we are familiar with, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, is different from the previous three times, the enemy this time is not only the Japanese army, but a multinational joint force led by the US army, of course, even so, China still fought a draw with the other side, and won a victory for strategic purposes, this battle, let the Chinese side bear a great price, but also won the international awe, so it was called the battle of the founding of the country by netizens.
Brother Tiger's main talk this time is the second war to resist the Japanese war and aid Korea, the sixteenth century, the end of the Japanese Warring States period that lasted for a long time, a man named Toyotomi Hideyoshi realized the long-lost unification of Japan, it is reasonable to say that the first reaction of any country after ending a war that lasted for a long time should be to disarm and return to the fields and cultivate and recuperate.
But the Japanese did not choose to do this, although the war is over, but the samurai class in Japan has begun to be dissatisfied because of the uneven fiefdom, the situation of warlord division is likely to appear again, Toyotomi Hideyoshi pondered, this can not be, if you want to fiefdom, simply go outside to fight, so, out of the ambition to plunder, occupy other countries, and consume the energy of their own samurai, and even disintegrate the strength of potential competitors, that is, other Japanese nobles, Toyotomi Hideyoshi waged a war that ran from the Korean Peninsula to Chinese mainland.
Of course, although Toyotomi Hideyoshi is bad, he is not stupid, he did not come directly to the hard, but first co-opted the DPRK, saying that he was just "false into the light", for this, the Koreans who have always regarded themselves as civilized people will naturally not agree, let alone let these Japanese who are looking at the tiger come in, can they still leave?
Subsequently, Japan sent nine corps to attack the landing of 200,000 troops from Busan, and occupied most of Korea within a month, for which China naturally would not sit idly by, and the Wanli Emperor clearly realized that "the map of Korea is really China," so he sent tens of thousands of troops into the Korean war.
Although the Japanese army had a great advantage in terms of troop strength, they were soon beaten by the Ming army and did not dare to go out of the city, why? Because the Japanese army that is accustomed to fighting on the island, when facing the mainland civilization technology of the Ming army, it is almost like opening the hanging, although the Japanese arquebus gun is powerful, but in front of the Ming artillery and cavalry, it is not vulnerable at all, especially the Japanese cavalry, which is serious in the Ming army, is basically a donkey cavalry, and later can only rely on the construction of the city to refuse to fight, until the declaration of defeat, after returning home, Japan began to attach importance to the development of artillery.
