When the truth of the seven-year war between Joseon and Japan broke out in 1592, the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592.

 These days, the issue of weapons and Japanese troops during the Imjin War seems to be very popular, so I am writing to correct the misconception of the seven-year war known as the Imjin War. Usually, it is known that the Joseon army was poorly pushed to the defensive during the war called the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, but rather, it was carried out as a side road where the Joseon army took an offensive. According to statistics over the past seven years, out of 105 battles, there were 68 attacks by the Joseon army and 37 attacks by the Japanese military, and in terms of victory and defeat, the Joseon army won 65 times and 45 times more. In the first year of the first war, there were the most battles, and in the first year, the Joseon army and the Japanese army fought 72 large and small battles, of which 45 were attacked by the Joseon army and 27 were attacked by the Japanese army. In addition, out of the 72nd inning, the Joseon army won 42 times and the Japanese army won 30 times, far more wins. In the early days of the war, the Japanese army took the offensive and prevailed only while the Japanese troops were pushed back to Pyongyang, but as soon as the Joseon army reorganized and launched a counterattack, the war was reversed. Of the 42 battles won by the Joseon army in the first year, 19 were solo battles by the government, 11 were solo battles by the righteous army, 6 were led by the government army under the participation of the righteous army, and 6 were led by the righteous army under the participation. As such, the government forces led the war, and the righteous army only played an auxiliary role. And it is known that Myeonggun played a decisive role in defeating the Japanese army in Joseon, but in fact, this is not the case at all. In addition, as we commonly know that the Ming Dynasty dispatched troops, it was not intended to protect the loyalty of the superiors. Before the decision to dispatch the troops, the Japanese army was already on the defensive, and the Joseon army was gradually launching a strong counterattack. When the Joseon army reversed the situation, only then did the Ming Dynasty decide to send troops to protect the cause of the upper country. Prior to the decision to dispatch troops to Joseon, a person named Seolban was sent to Joseon to examine the situation, and the contents of the report to the Ming emperor Shinjong are as follows. "Yojin (Yodong) is the arm of the slope (Beijing), and Joseon is the fence of Yojin. For 200 years, Japanese invaders invaded the reconstruction and river, but this was not the case with nursing care (fluctuation), which is because Joseon was used as a fence. If the Japanese invaders invade Joseon, nursing cannot be relieved for a day, and if you come by boat, Tianjin, the front yard of the capital, will also be harmed, and Beijing will vibrate. If we go out quickly, we will borrow the power of the Joseon people to hit the Japanese enemy, and if we go out late, the Japanese will bring the Joseon people and fight us." (Like this, we have given all kinds of grace even after seven years of war we have shaken Joseon with Gwanghaegun's justifiable weaknesses. Even the suggestion that Joseon should be a direct order was made in the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, Jjangkolas are dirty people who can't help it.) Also, Myeonggun missed important opportunities because he didn't actively fight against the Japanese army even after he was dispatched to Joseon, and commanders including Lee Yeosong were also stupid. In addition, the generals of Myeonggun not only acted as a funeral service to the generals of Joseon, but also caused great damage to the private houses of Joseon. In addition, fearing the battle itself, the war was advantageous, and no matter how the Joseon army asked for a fight, they only cared about negotiations with a truce, and bragged that they would conquer Japan by raising 400,000 troops every time. Thanks to this, this war, which could have ended early, has plagued the Joseon people for seven years. In addition, according to a survey conducted on January 10, 1593, the second year of the war, the total number of troops, including righteous army soldiers of the Joseon army, was 172,400, ahead of 150,000 of the Japanese army. In addition, the Japanese army had to remain as a rear unit guarding many of its troops, so there were few troops capable of advancing north except Yukina's Pyongyang troops, and Yukina was also in danger of the supply line and the Joseon's counterattack. Not only was the advance blocked, but it failed to win the Joseon army's counterattack and eventually retreated to the southern part of Gyeongsang-do. (Toyotomi Hideyoshi lamented, "It is Han-ro who was born in a small island country.") In this state, the war will drag for seven years in a lull due to the interference of the Ming Dynasty. For your information, Russia, which temporarily gave up its capital and retreated during Napoleon's invasion and reorganized its battle lines to defeat Napoleon's great army, praises this victory as a "great victory of the Slavic" and boasts a great chapter in history. But what about our history, the Seven Years' War, so-called Imjin War? Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army, which unified the long national era, and the invasion of Choi Jeong-ye, who had been veterans due to a long war, gave up the capital for a while, retreated, and defeated it again. Therefore, the name "Imjin Japanese Invasion" itself is wrong, and we need to pay attention again to the fact that this "seven-year war" ended with a proud victory of Joseon.
