Yi Sun-sin (April 28, 1545 - December 16, 1598), with the courtesy name Ruxie, was born in Deoksu (now Kaifeng County, North Hwanghae Province, North Korea). He was a military official in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty and a famous military strategist and national hero in the history of the Korean Peninsula.
Yi Sun-sin was born in Hancheng, Korea (now Seoul, South Korea), and later moved to Asan, Chungcheong Province.
In the fourth year of Wanli (1576, the fourth year of King Seonjo of Joseon), he passed the military examination and served in Hamgyong Province, Chungcheong Province, Jeolla Province, etc. Later, he was recommended by Liu Chenglong to serve as the governor of the Jeolla Left Province Navy.
In the 20th year of Wanli (1592, the 25th year of King Seonjo), the "Imjin Japanese Rebellion" broke out in which Japan invaded Korea. Yi Sun-sin, Yuan Gyun, Li Yiqi and others went to sea four times to attack the Japanese army and achieved a series of victories represented by the victory of Hansan Island.
In the 21st year of Wanli (1593, the 26th year of King Seonjo), he was promoted to the commander of the three-province navy. In the 25th year of Wanli (1597, the 30th year of King Seonjo of Joseon), he was dismissed and arrested because of the Japanese counter-espionage plan of King Seonjo of Joseon. He was released soon and became an ordinary soldier.
In the autumn of the same year, he was reinstated because the Korean navy was defeated by the Japanese army, rebuilt the navy, and won the Battle of Myeongnyang.
On November 19, 1598, the 26th year of Wanli (the 31st year of King Seonjo), Yi Sun-sin was shot and killed in the Noryang Sea Battle in which the Ming army jointly attacked the returning Japanese army. He was 54 years old.
After his death, he was posthumously named Chungmu, and was awarded the title of Deokpoongbuwon-gun. He was also named "loyal and righteous, and helped Xuanwu meritorious official". The temples of Chungmin, Chunglie, and Xianzhong were established to worship him. His posthumous works and related records were compiled into "The Complete Works of Yi Chungmugong".
"Yi Sun-sin was also a very good general, and he defeated the Japanese pirates. It seems that this matter needs to be accelerated!" Zhang Fu smiled.
"This Yi Sun-sin is also good at shipbuilding, which is the most lacking talent at the moment!" Zhang Fu also remembered that the turtle ship was invented by Yi Sun-sin.
With this technology, it must not be difficult to build a turtle ship here. Zhang Fu is already looking forward to it.
Destroying Japan was something he had in mind since the first day of his time travel. Now that Yi Sun-sin had appeared, the navy had become stronger, and many things should be put on the agenda.
Moreover, Zhang Fu had long wanted to take over the silver and gold mines in Japan.
However, if they want to go to Japan now, they need to train for a while longer. After all, they haven't been trained at sea yet, so they need to adapt first.
.......
"Next, use the Class A Heroic Spirit Summoning Card. The system starts summoning!" Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fu continued to summon.
[Ding, use the Class A Heroic Spirit Summoning Card to summon, summoning... Congratulations to the host for summoning Tang He, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty!

Tang He (1326-August 30, 1395), courtesy name Dingchen, was a native of Donghu Village, Guangde Township, Haozhou (now Fengyang, Anhui).
In the 12th year of Zhizheng (1352), he joined Guo Zixing's righteous army and served as a leader. He fought bravely and charged in the front. He was promoted to the general manager of the army.
In the 15th year of Zhizheng (1355), he followed Zhu Yuanzhang across the Yangtze River, conquered Jiqing and Zhenjiang, repeatedly defeated the Yuan army, and was promoted to the commander of the army.
In the 17th year of Zhizheng (1357), he was promoted to the deputy secretary of the Jiangnan Privy Council, guarded Changzhou, and repeatedly defeated the invading Zhang Shicheng's troops.
In the first year of Wu (1367), he was promoted to the position of Left Imperial Censor and Prince's Left Tutor, and defeated Fang Guozhen. In the first year of Hongwu (1368), he captured Chen Youding and followed General Xu Da to the west. Together with Right Deputy General Feng Sheng, he crossed Taihang Mountain from Huaiqing and captured Zezhou, Luzhou, Jinzhou, and Jiangzhou.
In the third year of Hongwu (1370), he conferred titles on meritorious officials, and gave them titles of Kaiguo Fuyun Xuanli Wuchen, Sanjie Ronglu Dafu, and Xunjie Zhuguo. He was also granted the title of Zhongshan Hou, and a salary of 1,500 shi. In the fourth year of Hongwu (1371), he defeated Fang Guozhen and captured Chen Youding.Mingsheng.
In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), he followed Xu Da to the northern desert.
In the sixth year of Hongwu (1373), he trained troops in Linqing.
In the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), he moved to Zhangde and chased Bayan Temur to Chahan Naoer, capturing countless horses, sheep, cattle and livestock.
In the eleventh year of Hongwu (1378), he was given the title of "Tui Cheng" as a meritorious official, and was promoted to Guanglu Dafu, Zuo Dudu of the Grand Commandery, Zuo Zhuguo, and Duke of Xin. He discussed military and national affairs and his salary was increased to three thousand stones.
In the fourteenth year of Hongwu (1381), he followed Xu Da to the northern expedition to conquer Nairbuhua, conquered Huishan, and captured its Pingzhang Belige and Shumi Fushi Jiutong.
In the eighteenth year of Hongwu (1385), the Wukaishan barbarians rebelled, and he led his army to suppress them, capturing 40,000 prisoners.
In the 22nd year of Hongwu (1389), he retired and returned to his hometown, and was given 15,000 banknotes, 2,000 taels of platinum, 300 taels of gold, 40 pieces of brocade, and a house in Fengyang.
In the 28th year of Hongwu (1395), he died at home at the age of 70, and was posthumously named King of Dong'ou and given the posthumous title of "Xiangwu".
"Tang He, this is also a brilliant person. In the early and middle periods, he was called brave and good at fighting. In the later period, he retired and returned to his hometown, and finally had a good end!" Zhang Fu commented.
Among the founding heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang, except for those who died early, there were very few who had a good end, and Tang He was one of them.
Zhang Fu believed that Xu Da, Tang He, and Chang Yuchun were very good together, just like Yue Fei, Gao Chong, and Yang Zaixing. Although there may be some gaps in quality, Zhang Fu felt that the degree of tacit understanding could also make up for it.
Now I have several talented generals under my command. Yue Fei, Xu Da, and Xin Qiji are the strongest among them. The next are Yi Zhi Wende, Tang He, and Li Cunmao. I need to match them up well!
"The day of reward will be in three days. I really need to think about it carefully!" Zhang Fu said secretly. He still needs to think about how many legions to form in the end.
