"Dreaming of Xi Chen, Tai Heng belongs to the Shanggong." Cangsheng Anshi is here, and Gong is a Zhongshan worker. Ten thousand deep seas, stars and blue skies. Bing Ge is old and philosophical. ”
A letter from Toyotomi Hideyoshi was like the smell of gun smoke, and the whole Joseon Dynasty smelled the smell of mountain rain coming, but the whole court could not unite, and it was still constantly fighting and consuming, and the whole dynasty had reached the edge of the cliff. At this time, like the classic bridge section in literature or film and television works, the hero appeared, and this hero was now recognized as a brilliant figure in the Korean Peninsula, Li Shunchen.

At this critical juncture when there were Japanese swords sharpened on the outside and the same party in the inner court, Li Shunchen was actually not famous, and he did not have a well-known reputation. This situation is actually not unrelated to Li Shunchen's origin, because Li Shunchen's military experience was relatively special in the Korean military system at that time, and Li Shunchen was called "white-clad soldier".

In fact, Li Shunchen's family environment was good, and his father was also an official in the DPRK, but the political struggle of the Joseon Dynasty at that time was very fierce, and the two forces had been fighting endlessly, Li Shunchen's father was implicated in a struggle, and he suffered a failure in the struggle.

Li Shunchen, who was still a child, suffered a lot, but Li Shunchen did not indulge himself because of this, and he was stronger in nature, through hard study, he took the examination of the WukeJu at the age of 22, but the sky did not go according to people's wishes, for various reasons, Li Shunchen fell off the list and did not get a meritorious name. Li Shunchen was not discouraged, and kept participating in the imperial examination, and finally at the age of 32, he finally passed the martial arts examination.
It is worth mentioning that Li Shunchen's results in this examination are very excellent, ranking fourth in the C subject. You know, Li Shunchen is not an active officer, but also has a special family background, but still got such a good result, in all the ordinary candidates, his results can be ranked second, this time the success of the exam also made Li Shunchen become a "white-clad soldier".

He was not an active officer, nor did he have a special family background, so what made Li Shunchen stand out from the crowd and become a key figure in normal warfare?

There are three very main reasons for this, the first of which is the question of the offensive line of the Japanese army. If you look at the map at that time, it is not difficult to find that the Offensive Route and War Plan of the Japanese Army landed from the Busan and Zuosuiyeong areas of Gyeongsang Province to the Korean Peninsula, and after the landing, it was directly taken to Gyeonggi Province after the landing, and basically all the Korean troops stationed along the way were fiercely attacked.

However, the army led by Lee Sun-sun was not stationed on the route of the Japanese army landing, the army led by Lee Sun-sun was stationed in the Jeolla-do area, Jeolla-do did not become the main target of the Japanese army, Lee Sun-sun's army just staggered the strategic planning of the Japanese army's attack, which allowed the Korean Dynasty's naval base controlled by Lee Shun-chan to be preserved, the existence of this base can repair and resupply the Korean warships, but maintain the combat effectiveness of the Korean naval army. This base set the stage for one of the most crucial victories that followed.

The second reason is that Lee Soon-chen was in a very special environment— the division of power and the disagreement within the Joseon Dynasty at that time, and the navy in the hands of Yuan Jun on Geoje Island was a concentrated embodiment of this environment. At that time, Yuanjun's men controlled a large number of warships of the Joseon Dynasty, and with the natural geographical advantage of Geoje Island as a defensive fortress, it can be said that they were sitting on a fortress to resist foreign enemies, and they should have led the soldiers to carry out tenacious resistance, but things developed in an unexpected direction.
The defenders on land, the left soldiers of Gyeongsang Province, made Lee Yu flee from the battlefield, which left Yuan Jun, who was guarding Geoje Island, alone at sea, and if He led his army to retreat in the direction of Jeolla Province, he would be considered a deserter, and the punishment would be more serious than the death of the battlefield, and he would fall into the name of eternal infamy. Just when faced with this kind of choice, Yuan Jun actually made a surprising decision, that is, to let the water army of Geoje Island sink itself!

When the Japanese army first landed, Li Yu had a tendency to surrender and flee. After fleeing without a fight, Li Yu began to publicize the japanese army's methods of terror and combat effectiveness in order to avoid the punishment of escaping from the battlefield, and the entire Korean army was shaken under his propaganda, and Yuan Jun actually destroyed the sailors of the Joseon Dynasty without a fight.

The Joseon Dynasty at this time can be said to be in danger, the entire dynasty is calling for the arrival of heroes, the crisis of the Joseon Dynasty is on the other hand the opportunity of Li Shunchen, Yuan Jun let the entire Geoje Island water army sink itself is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the North Korean water force, Yuan Jun lost a lot of ships, the importance of the water force in the hands of Li Shunchen is reflected, at this moment, Li Shunchen realized that the time to save the entire Joseon Dynasty has arrived, and the time is ripe for him to play freely.
The Japanese army did not expect that the Korean army would actually destroy the Great Wall, so that the Japanese army could be said to be all the way to the north. Seeing that the Japanese army was approaching the city, Xuanzu Li Fu decided to continue to flee to the north, xuanzu's escape made Li Shunchen realize the change in his identity and status, Li Shunchen was originally just a "white-clad soldier", but he did not expect that as soon as the war began, the whole situation actually collapsed, and the officers who were originally in high status quickly went to rout.

With the fall of others, Li Shunchen's status was bound to rise, and the importance of the army in Li Shunchen's hands was self-evident, and the entire Joseon Dynasty hoped that a hero could save the situation, and the opportunity for Li Shunchen to exert his talents came.
These two reasons are the basic conditions for Li Shunchen to become a great hero, so the third reason and how does Li Shunchen exert his talents? Li Shunchen, like many heroes in history, has been pushed to the cusp of history and has become the hope of the whole world.
