Jinju > Chinju Kyongsang-namdo Korea, South

The Japanese commanders know that control of Jinju, a large castle that defends Jeolla Province, would mean the fall of Jeolla.

A large army under Hosokawa Tadaoki gleefully approaches Jinju, defended by Kim Si-min, one of the better Korean generals, who commands a garrison of three thousand.

Kim had recently acquired about two hundred new arquebuses equal in strength to the Japanese guns and, With the help of these, together with cannon, and mortars, is able to drive the Japanese from Jeolla Province.

Hosokawa loses over thirty thousand men.

A group of farmers in Jinju in Gyeongsang province rise up against oppressive provincial officials and wealthy landowners in 1862, half a century after the Korean peasant rebellion led by Hong was put down.

This uprising is directly attributable to the exploitation of destitute farmers by Baek Nak-sin, a newly appointed military commander who has jurisdiction over the western half of Gyeongsang province.

Yi Yun-myeong and Yu Gye-chun organizes the farmers in Jinju to riot against Baek and other corrupt officials and wealthy landlords.

The rebels kill local government functionaries and set fire to government buildings.
