ADMIRAL Yi SOON-SIN, GOD OF THE NAVAL BATTLE

 Don't let the enomies know of my death.
 This will is very famous to all Koreans, also to me. It is said by Yi Soon-Sin, admiral of Joseon Dynasty.
Also, he is well known for undefeated admiral in Imjin war. I always think he is the best hero of Korea because of his title 'Undefeated' and his perfect naval strategy. So i would like to write about Admiral Yi. If you want to know about whole timeline of Yi, visit this web.

 Admiral Yi Soon-sin was born in Geoncheon-dong, Seoul in1545. In 1572 at the age of 28, he applied for military officer exam but failed the exam after falling off his horse. Four years later he finally passed the exam. At the age of 32 Yi would face many challenges during his career because he didn't have political and economic power. Nevertheless, He finally became naval commander of the western part of Jeolla-do due to the recommendation of his superior. Since that time, he started to prepare for a war because he predicted invasion of Japan.
 Imjin war finally broke out and Yi's reputation also started since then. Because he knew the invasion of japan, he defeated the Japanese fleet in the naval battles of Okpo, Happo and Jeokjinpo and many other battles. Myungryang battle is the most famous battle of Yi. At that time, Yi was imprisoned because of domestic political slander. But he was finally released due to the people that advocated him. But he had to defeat Janpanese fleet with only 13ships. With this small ship, Yi faced 133 enemy ships at the battle of Myeongnyang. But he finally had victory with his great leadership, tactics, and knowledge of the geographical features of Myungryang. He's final battle was Noryang battle. In this battle, Yi was killed by enomy's fire altough battle was perfect victory. And he also left a famous will 'Don't let the enomies know of my death' in this battle.

Yi Soon-sin was a great admiral who was never defeated in 23 battles. he was a brilliant admiral and he was also a true leader who loved his country and its people, and sacrificed himself to protect them. So i think him as one of the greatest heroes of Korean history.
