  Yi faced great injustice in his time on earth. But he earned eternal glory as one of the greatest heroes in history.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymHeF8T5FdI&amp;t=2112">35:12</a> Admiral Yi continually cheffing up novel ways to defeat the enemy like “they’re gonna love this one”. Then, taking every moment to point out the scoreboard 🗿

  The reason Yi did so well was because he was very good at tactics and had superior war ships. <br><br>While the Japanese boats were designed around boarding and thus were tall with lots of places to fire muskets from they had few cannons and those that were there were inferior. To be most effective they had to close the range and either shoot the crew of the enemy ship or send troops over to fight them in mele. Usually both.<br><br>The Korean ships were built to engage in long range cannon duels. They had lots of cannons, better cannons and better gunners for said cannons. They could generally stay out of range of Japanese musket fire and shell the Japanese ships until they were sunk. <br>On top of that the Turtle ships were almost immune to Japanese fire and couldn&apos;t be boarded so they could get in the middle of the Japanese fleet, do a lot of damage at point blank range and cause chaos and confusion.<br><br>Of course if the admiral in charge of the Korean ships misjudged the wind and the distance or got his fleet surrounded his ships would be swarmed by the Japanese ships full of muskets and angry samurai. <br>.<br>As for the Buddhist Warrior Monks... they were insane at this time, especially a bit earlier in Japan where the greatest of these, the Ikko-Ikki, together with regular peasants basically deposed their samurai overlords and became independent states and a regional power once they adopted massed musket use them selves. That&apos;s right: Warrior Monks with Guns. And yes they stopped the progress of the future Great Unifier of Japan on several occasions.

  This guy got betrayed so severely by his government, I’m surprised he remained at their disposal whenever they were desperate for his expertise…despite having been unjustly imprisoned and disgraced in multiple instances.

  The reason why people hold these historical records to be mostly factual is because the Japanese Admiral Togo acknowledged him as the greatest Admiral ever. When your opponents talk about you having success against them hundreds of years later, then you know there has to be some truth to it. Also, record keeping during the Joseon Dynasty was extremely meticulous and taken very seriously. To the point that if anyone tried tampering with the records they&apos;d punished and likely killed, and kings weren&apos;t even allowed to look at the records to ensure objectivity.

  Sun Tzu advocates the use of spies in war. If you do not have information on your army from sources that are close up, you do not have what the capability to wage war.

  I don&apos;t know if it&apos;s true, but supposedly Admiral Togo, a greatly accomplished Japanese Admiral (late 1800s to early 1900s) once said &quot;I may perhaps be compared to Nelson, but for Admiral Yi, there is no equal.&quot;<br><br>Referring to arguably the greatest British Admiral.
