''Not to be confused with the Battle of Chungju'' The Battle of Chongju was one of the first Korean victories on land during the Imjin War. Also, it was won by the Korean irregular volunteers that included Buddhist warrior monks as well. ==Prelude== Jo Heon, one of the most well known Korean irregular leaders, along with Hyujong, who led the Buddhist forces decided to attack Chongju. Chongju was captured by the Third Division of the Japanese army under Kuroda Nagasama in the opening battles of the Imjin War. Chongju was important because it provided as an important center for transporting supplies to Japanese forces in the north. Also, Chongju was one way to Hanseong (Seoul). Chongju was under the general of Hachisuka Iemasa (1558-1638). With information that it was lightly guarded, the Korean irregular army decided to recapture Chongju from the Japanese. Capturing Chongju would cut Japanese communication lines and provide a stepping stone to southern Korea where the invasion of Jeolla Province could be stopped. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle of Cheongju」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
