60번 이겨도 공신이 못 된 장수, 조선이 숨긴 이름

When we think of the Imjin War, Yi Sun-sin comes to mind. 23 victories in 23 battles at sea. However, there is a general said to have fought 60 battles on land during the same war and the same seven years without a single defeat. The King personally bestowed his name upon him, a Ming Dynasty general acknowledged his abilities in an official document, and he appears multiple times in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. Yet, almost no one knows the name of this general. 🔎 Why was a military officer, whose name the King even changed, omitted from the list of meritorious subjects? ⚔️ What is written in the Annals about the general who single-handedly rescued his superior officer captured by the enemy? 🏯 Why does no one talk about this battle in which Sangju Castle was recaptured and the Japanese army's supply lines were cut off? 📜 A general who received a posthumous title only 151 years after his death—the nation finally called him by his name only when he became a fifth-generation descendant. We trace this based on the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, the *Maeheon Silgi*, and the records of Treasure No. 669. Jeong Gi-ryong, a name that should have stood alongside Yi Sun-sin. Jeong Gi-ryong. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⏱ Timeline 00:00 1592, Gyeongsang-do — The man who charged alone into enemy lines 01:32 The military officer whose name the King changed — From Jeong Mu-su to Jeong Gi-ryong 02:46 The Legend of the Dragon Horse — A 400-year-old story beneath Gyeongcheondae 03:55 Joseon Falls — Hanyang is breached in twenty days 04:43 Geochang, The First Victory — A rare counterattack by the Joseon army 05:38 Rescuing Jo Gyeong — The reason he was called the Jo Ja-ryong of Joseon 06:58 The Demon's Divine Seal — A foreign general recognized him before his own country 09:51 Recapture of Sangju Castle — Yi Sun-sin of the sea, Jeong Gi-ryong of the land 10:33 The general who laid down his sword — The warrior who stockpiled 6,900 sacks of grain 11:59 Not on the list of meritorious subjects Name — The king who gave him the name did not list him as a meritorious subject 14:09 King Seonjo — 86 subjects who fled, 18 generals who fought 15:31 The number of 60 battles undefeated — Once every 42 days, risking his life for 7 years 17:11 151 years — The title bestowed only upon his 5th-generation descendant, Chunguigong 18:12 Conclusion — It must become a story to be remembered, and it must be remembered to become history -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📍 Locations featured in the video & places where you can encounter Jeong Gi-ryong • Sangju Gyeongcheondae — Statue of General Jeong Gi-ryong, information board on the Dragon Horse legend (Sabolguk-myeon, Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do) • Chunguisa — Shrine enshrining the portrait and ancestral tablet of General Jeong Gi-ryong (Sabolguk-myeon, Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do) • Sangju Museum — Houses 6 items of 5 types of artifacts related to Jeong Gi-ryong, Treasure No. 669 (Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do) • Geochang — Site of Jeong Gi-ryong’s first victory during the early Imjin War (Geochang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do) • Tongyeong — Imso where he died while serving as the Commander of the Three Naval Districts (Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚖️ ⓒ History Outside the Historical Drama.
