�Don't let the enemies know of my death."


This sentence is very famous to Korean.
It is said by admiral Lee Soon-sin.

Do you know Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 ?

It is called "Imjinwaeran" (壬辰倭亂)

I know that world's top four naval battle are Salamis (Greece), Calais, Trapalgar (England) and Hansandaecheop (korea).

This war was broken by Japan and left many famous battles.

In 1592, Imjinwaeran what made his '23 battle 23 win' broke out.

He had 12 battleships and 120 men.He doesn't frustrated and decided to fight in spite of the royal court's opposition.

The enemy had 133 battleships, but the victory was his.His battleship was at the head of the entire battle line.

The admiral Lee-soon-sheen, deffeted Japen by made ship (shape of turttle) , and his strategy.

Sorrowfully, He got a shot.

His dying was �Don't let the enemies know of my death."

he worried a country,when he's close to his death.

Actually, his men fought until the end of battle, without knowing about his death.

Even thought he died, his army's spirit didn't disapeared.Finally his army defeated Jappan.

His death was really a matter for regret.His excellence as a leader is impressed on my mind.

He is person who renounced wealth, honor and pride for the sake of his fatherland.
