Profile of General Lee Eok-ki, Jeonla-susa Temple

 Unlike Yi Sun-shin and Won-kyun, you went up the super elite course. At the age of 17, the eldest member-level system, at the age of 21, Gyeongheung adverb, at the age of 31, Jeonlaussa Temple... But if it stood out too much, the royal family, Lee Eok-ki, would have been on the death note of his ancestors. ----------------------------------------------------------------- General Lee Eok-ki (July 24, 1561, to July 16, 1597) was born in Hanyang in 1561. Since childhood, he has excelled in martial arts, and at the age of 17, he was ordained as a monk in Sabok-si, and he passed the examination as a master of martial arts. In 1581, when he was 21 years old, he was appointed Gyeongheung Busa, one of the six camps (6)), and when the Yeojin attacked on a large scale in 1583, he changed his cavalry and 300 infantry and led to victory in the battle. In 1586, he was appointed as an adverb of Onseongbu, which was important enough to determine the success or failure of the six-line defense, and at that time, he defended Yi Sun-shin, a midwife who was arrested for failing to stop the Yeojin who invaded the Gyeongheung region. General Lee Eok-ki gained fame by successfully protecting the six strongholds by the end of 1587, when the Yeojin invasion was so violent that many armed men were fired and executed. When the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, General Lee Eok-ki was appointed as Jeonlaususa through Suncheon Busa, and joined forces with Lee Soon-shin, the Jeolla left-handed monk, and Won Gyun, the Gyeongsang right-handed monk, to defeat Japanese pirates in Danghangpo, Hansando, Angolpo, and Busanpo. In 1596, he led his line between Jeolla-Jwa and Udo to help prepare for the battle of Jindo Island and Jeju Island, and served as a mobile strike force by cheering for Yi Sun-shin, a Samdo naval controller in Hansando Island, and when Yi Sun-shin was arrested and investigated, he argued his innocence to the ministers. Except for the early Imran period, the general participated in all major naval battles of the Imjin War and made great contributions as the main force of the Allied fleet, and was the only master who performed the duties of Jeonrausa for six years without being replaced. Sadly, however, he decided to choose a clean death as a defeated general when he was ordered to advance under the control officer Won Kyun in 1597, attacked the Japanese enemy in Busan, and lost the Battle of Chilcheonryang, and committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea. After Imran, he was posthumously awarded to Byeongjo Panseo as the second rank of Seonmugongsin, and was honored as Wanheung-gun, and in 1602, he was enshrined with Yi Sun-shin at Chungminsa Temple in Yeosu. In 1784 (the 8th year of King Jeongjo's reign), a posthumous title called Uimin was issued. Source: <War Memorial Public Relations Office>
