As we all know, South Korea is located in the south of the Korean Peninsula in East Asia, with a total area of only 100,000 square kilometers. Like Japan, it is a small country, and at one point in recent history it was a Japanese colony. However, Koreans are very confident, as if as long as koreans have the best in the world, for example, when they chose "Asia's first god of war", they decided that it was not Li Shunchen, but Japanese scholars despised it. Why?
First of all, let's briefly understand the person of Lee Sun-chen, Lee Sun-chen was born in 1545 AD, in Seoul, the capital of ancient Korea (Lee Dynasty), which is today Seoul, South Korea. When he was a teenager, Li Shunchen was very fond of dancing knives and guns, and often hid somewhere with a slingshot to involve pedestrians, and historical records recorded: "The elders are afraid of it, and they dare not meet its door."
At the age of 11, he entered a private school, and whenever he had time, he rode a horse and hunted, bent on throwing pens and pens. At the age of 22, this wish was realized, but with the previous cultural background, Li Shunchen learned the art of war much simpler. "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi" and other military classics have been learned everything.
Li Shunchen's fame began in 1951, and Japan at the same time as Li Shunchen also produced a famous general, this person is one of the three masters of the Warring States, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, this person is an ambitionist, after the unification of Japan, but also delusional to occupy the Korean Peninsula, and then occupy China.
With its national strength, Japan mobilized 150,000 Japanese troops and crossed the ocean to invade the Korean Peninsula. At that time, in 1591, at the age of 47, Lee Soon-chen was promoted to the position of Jeolla Left Province Water Division. In order to resist Japan, the water army was trained. However, in the face of the menacing Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he still had difficulty resisting, and finally had to ask the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty for assistance.
At that time, China was in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, this battle was very important, it can be said that it affected the entire political pattern of East Asia, and the Ming Dynasty also attached great importance to this war. In July of the 20th year of the Wanli Calendar (1592), the Ming Dynasty sent its first anti-Wu army to Korea.
However, because the three-thousand-strong forward force had committed a slight enemy taboo and finally fell into the trap of the Japanese, they suffered heavy losses, and the news returned to the imperial court, and the MingShen Sect was furious. So he sent Li Rusong to lead 40,000 elite soldiers to North Korea. It took less than an hour to conquer Pyongyang, which was guarded by the Japanese First Army.
Actually, because there are a lot of domestic battles to be fought. Therefore, the 40,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Li Rusong were not many, but Li Rusong relied on his many years of experience in conquest, flexibly responded to changes on the battlefield, defeated the Japanese army, and finally attacked the Japanese army's granary Longshan Dacang, the Japanese army had no military food, and no longer willing to retreat.
It can be said that Li Rusong is the biggest contributor to the suppression of the Rebellion, and Li Shunchen naturally has great merit, but it only delayed the speed of the Japanese army's attack, and was defeated in the battles of Busan and Nagatopo, so South Korea called Li Shunchen "Asia's first god of war", which will be despised by Japanese scholars.
Chinese netizens can only laugh and not speak, after all, from the process and results of this battle, Li Rusong alone will be stronger than Li Shunchen and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. What's more, there are many famous generals in Chinese history who are stronger than Li Rusong, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Sun Zhen, and Li Jing, which one is not a famous general who can win more with less? Low key, low key.
