Tsushima Campaign (KE)

The Tsushima Campaign was a conflict between Joseonball and Tokugawa Shogunateball.The war lasted for nearly a year and resulted in Japanball losing half of Tsushimaball.

Starting of Conflict
In 1651,Japan was distracted by a ronin uprising that almost destroyed Edo,capital of Japanball.Recovering from his wounds,Japanball ordered some forces near Joseonball to move inland in case of more ronin revolts. The opportunistic Koreans took this advantage and planned to take Tsushimaball,due to his territorial location being great for the Koreans trade.

March to Tsushima
The Koreans sent a fleet to attack the northern coast of Tsushima.They advanced steadily and in just 2 weeks reached the island of Oki.Oki Island held some resistance as reinforcements had been sent.Battle occured for a while but by the 2nd month,they arrived at Shimayama Island. The conflict became more intense as the Japanese became harder to fight off.It took some one month time to take the inland.Joseonball's forces reached the southern part of Tsushima.They marched till the main city but had to besiege it for months.

Siege
The siege was hard for Joseonball as his men were running low on supplies.To secure supplies,the Koreans tried attacking nearby Kuroshima Island but it wasted more supplies to take.Japanball sent more troops and supplies to Tsushima though ships were constantly raided by Joseon fleets.By November 1652,the Koreans were in a dire situation.

Counterattack
The Japanese launched a counterattack on January against Joseonball and pushed them off half of Tsushima.On February they tried to push north but were no match.In March,peace talks began between the two parties.

Outcome
The Koreans claim half of Tsushima all the way to Shimayama while Kuroshima Island is split apart.A small portion of northern Tsushima returns to Japanball.The war had shown the strength of Japan and Korea on land and at sea.Both sides will work on their navies and land troops.
