Battle of Imjin River (1592)
:'' For the similarly named battle during the Korean War (1950-1953), see Battle of the Imjin River.
The Battle of Imjin River (Japanese: 臨津江の戦い) was a battle during the 1592 Japanese invasion of Korea. It resulted in a Japanese victory.
==Retreat of the King==
In the Fall of 1592, King Seonjo left Hanseong shortly before the arrival of Japanese vanguard led by Katō Kiyomasa, which forded the Han River in what is today Yongsan. At this time, the Korean public already abandoned the king and the minister, and cooperation with the Japanese army was becoming more common. Moreover, when the reinforcing Ming army retreated, the people that suffered were the civilians. Gyeongbokgung had already become ashes before the Japanese army marched through the gates, and Korean slaves greeted them as a liberation army, and set fire to the building that kept the slaves' ledger. Following the sack of the city, Katō built an imposing Japanese castle on the Namsan mountain overlooking Seoul on what is today the site of the City Library. Seonjo and his court retreated north to Pyongyang and eventually China on foot while harassed by peasants who felt abandoned.
Reaching the Imjin, and hearing of Japanese pursuit, they forded the river at night. As it was dark, they decided to burn the pavilion near the Imjin ford. The burning pavilion provided enough light to allow the King's party to ford the river and reach Gaeseong by morning. Little did he know that the burning pavilion was the retirement home of Yi I the late prominent scholar who had strongly petitioned to strengthen national security by enlarging the armed forces to 100,000 men, only ten years before. Yi I was dead by this time, but his retirement home provided for the King's safe retreat across the Imjin.
