Dongnae Eupseong Fortress Site

This guide to the Dongnae Eupseong Fortress Site in Busan opens on the twenty-fifth of May, sixteen ninety-two, when Konishi Yukinaga's army planted a sign at the base of the hill demanding passage. It follows Song Sanghyeon, the forty-one-year-old local magistrate who answered with six words of defiance and climbed to his command post to face roughly twenty thousand troops with only a few thousand defenders. It also follows Yi Kak, the regional commander responsible for this exact fortress, who made a very different choice before the fighting even began. Stand at the restored wall, once part of a stronghold running over two and a half kilometers around the hill, and weigh the two men's decisions against each other.
