General Jeong Bal

General Jeong Bal (정발, 鄭撥, 1553–1592) was a Korean colonel who was placed command over a garrison at Busan port. He was killed in action in 1592 while defending the garrison from elements of the Japanese vanguard, led by the Christian warlord Konishi Yukinaga. His entire battalion was overrun and massacred by the Japanese forces. He was the first high ranking officer to be killed in combat during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598).[citation needed]

He was enshrined in the Chungnyeolsa (Busan) in 1624.[1]
