Yi Chongmu (1360âÂÂ1425) was a Korean general who led the à Âei Invasion of Tsushima Island in 1419.
He was noted for leading a fleet of 227 ships and 17,285 soldiers which landed at the Tsushima Island in Aso Bay on June 19, 1419, which was met with little resistance. General SÃ Â Sadamori, the Daimyo of Tsushima, proposed a treaty to the Joseon court in September 1419.
His conquest not only rescued victims taken by Japanese pirates including 146 Chinese and 8 Koreans, but also put an end to Japanese pirate raids in Korea and China, as well as paving the way for special trade relationships in between Joseon Korea and the SÃ Â clan of Tsushima Island.
