IMJIN WAR Ep. 9 - Could Hideyoshi Have Conquered China?

In this episode I speculate on how Hideyoshi’s invasion of Korea might have turned out if Yi Sun-sin hadn’t blocked the Japanese navy from entering the Yellow Sea. If the Japanese had secured a Yellow Sea supply route as planned; if they had been able to ferry reinforcements north by ship to their contingents in Seoul and Pyongyang, could they have resumed their northward advance and gone on all the way to Beijing? Could they have defeated Ming armies, stormed into the Forbidden City and ousted the Wanli Emperor from the Celestial Throne? Could Hideyoshi, in short, have conquered China?
