Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Imjin War - the Japanese invasion of Korea between 1592 and 1598 continues with a video on the aftermath of the first invasion, as Toyotomi Hideyoshi's armies leave Korea after the allied Chinese-Korean counter-attack. However, this wasn't the end of the invasion. The Samurai attempted the second one in 1597 and met the admiral Yi Sun-sin at the battles of Myeongnyang and Noryang.

During his last moments and knowing that he was going to die soon, Admiral Yi gave his last orders to his eldest son and his nephew (the only ones who noticed the wound): "The war is raging. Put on my armor and play my war drums. Don't announce my death. " After this and with great sorrow, the admiral was taken to his cabin where he died. Then his nephew used his armor for the rest of the battle so that the troops would not be demoralized and ordered that the drums continue to be played. After the battle, his body was taken to his hometown of Asan and he was buried with his father Yi Jeong.

The thing that's brilliant about Admiral Yi Sun-sin isn't these repeated "bottleneck" situation he was able to make, as like... those straits were like the only sailing option for most fleet from any culture, at the time. (It still is, actually). It's how he was able to maintain formation and coordination by means of effective communication even when there were battles and multiple drum sounds from both direction. Sure, the navymen trained it til death. But in ship battles where waves simply can easily make ship formations break away, guessing how your formation would look like 5 minutes from now, and how their formation would look like, it's not an easy feat. He had to get the ploy executed perfectly by so many men under a huge chain of leadership ridden with military politics, and he did it time and time again. It's Hannibal-level of battle shape maintenance. The type of talent you'd only encounter once every 400-500 years. ps.: The type of talent no longer needed atm, bcs of technology. but who knows... maybe it will just evolve?

@@tigeriontigerion9112 hmm not quite sure about that. Would you say the Japanese won the battle then? Taken by a surprise attack in the Noryang Pass and then being routed out to sea? Don't think that quite qualifies as a "victory". As a side note, I almost laughed out loud when I read the Japanese Wikipedia article on Noryang saying that the Japanese "successfully retreated" and that "both sides claimed victory". (There's a whole bunch of other bogus on Japanese Wikipedia but I won't get into that.) The lengths to which the net-right in Japan try to cover up anything that puts Japan in a negative light astound me. I'd suggest reading about the battle in any language other than Japanese, and you'll get my point. On a final point, it's VERY lucky that Yi was killed by a stray bullet and the kill was a fluke, because (i) that's what the most reliable accounts tell us, and (ii) NO-ONE in Japan took credit for killing Yi (you'd expect it to have been kind of a big deal).

@@jaeshin7780 I don’t know who you are, but your name and channel seems to be a Korean, so your response is not surprising for me. I didn’t refer to Wikipedia, such a nonsense source, I referred to Chinese or Japanese, Korean papers/books that day. I said a solid fact; No mentionable Japanese died in the battle while most Korean commanders and a Chinese commander died. On the other hand, you said what? You mentioned Japanese right wing, however, I’m not sure about that, and Korean miserable nationalism looks famous and terrible for me. In addition, I know this topic is popular mainly in Korea, especially among Korean nationalists, while few Chinese and some Japanese are interested in the Imjin war. You can clearly see this on statistics like Google Trends. For me, that also sounds a bit funny, because the Imjin war in the reality was just Ming vs Japan war, no Korean were invited to the ceasefire meetings, while today only Korean seems to be eager to talk about the war, based on their fake fantasies. Isn’t this Miserable? Anyway, Korean should stop such pity claims like what you do about the Imjin war or the colonial era, Korea has always been just a buffer and vassal country of someone. Don’t blame others, blame your weakness. I know the inferiority towards your past masters lead to Korean pity nationalism today, but I don’t have any words of consolation.

Including Maeda Toshiee as one of the daimyo involved in the Sekigahara campaign was wrong, he was dead before Sekigahara. Shortly after his old friend Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, Maeda Toshiie died too, leaving Ieyasu as the most senior daimyo of all Japan. This also one of the reason why Ieyasu wields a strong influence. The common link of all these senior daimyo like Hideyoshi, Ieyasu, and Toshiie is that they all worked under Oda Nobunaga (technically Ieyasu is a junior partner and not a direct vassal).

@ecthelion83 3 года назад

Ieyasu also, for a variety of reasons (probably anticipating a future conflict for control of Japan between him and Hideyoshi's allies), never sent his own troops to answer Hideyoshi's call to invade Korea, which partly contributed to what became his Eastern Army preserving its strength compared with the Western Army of Hideyoshi's allies, which had been much-depleted in the failed campaigns in Korea (the Western Army still outnumbered the Eastern Army somewhat at Sekigahara, but not by any large margin that it could have had Hideyoshi never invaded Korea).

@ltmatthewakj2466 3 года назад

@@beno1129 my comments is neutral for those who admire Nelson. Their tactical and strategical approach may cannot be compare because different timeline and warfare. It is like comparing fish and bird about who is better at flying and swimming. But in my humble opinion, Yi Sun Shin is the greatest because most admirals including Nelson gain support from his government while Yi didn't get a support from his government and even almost put to the death by same government. He was outnumbered, out of supplies but he made it, plus his characters are incredible. I think not everyone can withstand that hardship

@@young98-cc5ls wrong. The Joseon dynasty was founded by a general named Yi Seong-gye who revolted in the Wihwado retreat in 1388, and then took control of the Goryeo government and placing two kings on the throne (Kings Chang and Gongyang) then executed them under a failed restoration then Yi ascended to the throne as Taejo of Joseon in 1392. Many western historians are too stupid to not realise the details in Joseon’s founding.

From 15:15 and on, he has officially entered the annals of history as one of the greatest admirals of all time. I think people who like K-Pop culture should give big gratitudes to this legend for without him and his sacrifices, they will never see and enjoy K-Pop drama, K-Pop music, etc. In fact, all of the worlds should give gratitudes for we can see and hear an incredible story from an incredible iron will and determination and loyalty from one person to his people. Abandoned, tortured, demoted, depressed but keep the fight on for his people eventually, he is risen and become "The National Hero of Korea, south, and north." This incredible story proves that loyalty and iron-will can bring you to greatness, something you can find only in fairy tales. About k-pop culture thing, I am staying neutral about that comment, not praising it or disregard it. I only focus on Yi Sun Shin

I wonder: When we burned the enemy ships that day, was something lost as well...?" At the time, I lost my son to the Dark Ones. I swore to repel every invaders from the face of the earth. “The invaders MUST DIE!”. The strange visions that haunted my journey were someone attempting to reach out to me. Calling my name... it’s saying: Come home with us... I told them: I will come soon - You go first my dear son.. A stray arquebus bullet from an enemy ship struck near my left armpit. I came to realize i won't last any longer. I sense the death is near... It's time to go home... It's time to rest... Home Sweet Home. I Gave My Last Final ORDER: "The war is at its height - wear my armor and beat my war drums. Do not announce my death." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't know if I was the first to Stand out and challenge with them, but I will not be the last..
