The tale of Admiral Yi is nothing short of superhuman, and yet at the same time a tragedy. Other men would have turned their back or defected after being treated the way he was. But he cared more for his nation than himself, even when the leadership of that nation betrayed him time and time again for their own selfish ambition. But he fought not for the government, but the nation itself. True patriotism.
Admiral Togo, the Japanese admiral who won the decisive naval battle at the Tsushima straits was once compared to Yi and Nelson. Togo was taken aback by this and said: “It may be proper to compare me with Nelson, but not with Korea's Yi Sun-sin, for he has no equal.”
People need to know that YI had no support from his country. He raised money himself, built the ships himself, made the first musket for korea, made the first ironclad turtleship, fed his people from starvation and saved korea from Japan. He is a Saint of saints in Korea along with King Sejong
Yi Sun Shin was a genius tactician with an unmatched record of naval victories. It's no wonder Koreans are the best StarCraft players.
One of the most amazing thing about Yi Sun Shin was that all his prior military experience prior to the Imjin War was in the army, and he only started studying naval warfare after he was appointed the commander in Cholla shortly before the war started. All his subsequent naval brilliance was self-taught.
'Diplomatic failures provoked Hideyoshi to launch a Second Invasion'
That's truly amazing. I've never seen an English video that describes the Imjin War in such detail and accuracy. Thank you for your effort.
I used to have lunch sat by the statue of Yi Sun Sin in Gwanghwamun square and wonder how I'd never heard of him before I moved to Korea. I'm so glad he gets love from your channel because his is one of the most incredible stories in military history.
Interesting fact: When Yi was dying he told to his son and his nephew: "We are going to win this war. Keep beating the drum. Do not announce my death".
There’s a lot of amazing things about Admiral Yi. One of them was his repeated ability to adapt his tactics to defeat his enemy even after his enemy repeatedly adapted their tactics to account for Yi’s previous successes.
Put yourself into Yi's shoes:
Admiral Yi is one of the greatest millitary minds of all time. He makes Nelson look like a first year in the Naval academy. While his life may have been a tragedy in many ways at the end he wins over those who wronged for he is remembered today as one of the greatest admirals of all time, Saviour of Korea and Marshal lord of Loyalty.
After the devastating defeat of Won Gyun, Joseon court planned to merge the remaining navy into the army. However, general Yi said to the king, "There are 12 battle ships left, the numbers are insufficient, but with this humble man still alive, enemy will not covet our seas." And comes the famous battle of Myeong yang, where general Yi defeated the 200 Japanese ships with 13 battle ships(one ship joined later). General Yi had lost his mother when he was demoted (his mother was 83 years old and was on the sail to meet her demoted son when she passed away on a ship). And general Yi's most beloved son died while fighting the Japanese forces. Such a shame that a man of such accomplishment and devotion had to go through all that personal tragedy...
The story of Admiral Yi is absolutely insane, and we'd all believe it to be a story of fiction if it weren't for corroborated reports from Korea's enemy in this conflict, Japan. Furthermore, the accounts from the Chinese side are glowing as well. This was an uncommon man, put squarely in position, by sheer chance or divine intervention, to save a people and their nation. Just incredible.
I teach history and I'm not Korean so I never heard about Yi before today. Naturally, I went to read up on him and while some events certainly seem tainted by later Korean propaganda, this guy was definitely right up there with some of the more famous admirals in history, quite possibly surpassing even people like Themistocles, Nelson and Nimitz. It seems that few if any were as good at exploiting the enemy's weaknesses as Yi was. Rightfully deserves his place as one of the greatest national heroes of Korea.
Thanks for this amazing content!
I spent a year in S. Korea in the U.S. Army. I regret not discovering Korea's rich and fascinating medieval period until later in life. The Koreans are a brave, and resourceful people and also one of the kindest and most hospitable I've encountered. Thank you for this very educational video.
Rarely comment on youtube, but this was one of the most interesting and exciting videos you have ever uploaded. With each passing video your team seem to get better and better with the research you do and the cinematic presentation of history. Honestly, hats off to all involved! Keep em coming.
That was very well done! Happy I stumbled across your channel.
