정유재란 시기 명 수군의 참전과 장수

Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the participation and activities of the Ming Dynasty naval forces during the Gogeum Island(古今島) Naval Headquarters period in the Jeongyu War. The deployment of Ming naval forces was initiated by King Seonjo(宣 祖)'s request just before the outbreak of the war, stating that the only force the Japanese feared was the Zhu military forces, and he hoped for the joint effort of Joseon and Ming naval forces forces to annihilate the enemy. After the outbreak of the Jeongyu War(丁酉再 亂), the Ming military assembled 5,000 naval forces in response to the lack of manpower in the Joseon navy and to preemptively defend their territorial waters. Following the Battle of Chilcheollyang (漆川梁海戰), the Ming military decided, after two rounds of deliberations, to send a total of 21,000 naval troops. At the Battle of Suncheon Japanese Fortress, 19,800 Ming naval forces participated, and if the 1,500 troops led by Zhang Liangxiang(張良相), who had not yet arrived, were added, the number would match the originally planned figure for the Ming naval deployment. Chen Lin(陳璘) initially led the Guangdong army overland, but after the illness of the naval commander Yang Wen(楊文), he took over the position and assumed overall command of the Ming naval forces. Deng Zilong, who led the Zhejiang navy, replaced Shen Mao(沈茂), who had been reassigned to the land forces, and sailed to the waters of Joseon. Despite suffering from paralysis and deafness at the time of his participation, Deng Zilong fought at the forefront in the Battle of Noryang(露粱海戰) and ultimately died in action. As Chen Lin noted, the hidden friction between commanders was evident when he remarked that Deng Zilong(鄧子龍), though old and frail, died in battle after participating. Ji Jin(季金) was the first to arrive at Gogeum Island Naval Headquarters and formed the first Joseon-Ming combined naval forces((朝明聯合水軍). The Guan Yu Shrine(關王廟) at Gogeum Island was initiated by Chen Lin, with Ji Jin providing assistance.
