Red Box 121 1/72 16th-17th c. Korean Heavy Cavalry ent. Set 1

Korea in the 16th and 17th centuries maintained a close relationship with Ming China, and followed its lead in many things, including its military forces. Chinese cavalry was not particularly good at this period, and it seems much the same is true of Korean cavalry, although this was partly down to the relatively low numbers they could field. Korean military control was also very inefficient, often very badly led and prone to fractional infighting at the highest level, all of which contributed to the poor showing of the armies against the main threats the country would face during this time, the twin Japanese invasions of the 1590s and the Jurchen invasions of 1627 and 1636.
