Goguryeo's Shield - How 300,000 Troops Were Stopped | Dongin's Historical Tales "Funto"
from Slow Night Ancient Tales · host Kyle Kichul Yun
Welcome to another episode of Tales of Slow Nights. Tonight, we travel back 1,400 years to witness a thrilling diplomatic and military showdown between the ancient Korean kingdom of Goguryeo and the unified Sui Empire of China.Based on Kim Dong-in's classic historical short story "Funto (Dirt)," we explore the unbending pride of King Yeongyang and his brilliant minister, Eulji Mundeok. Listen as they boldly reject the Sui Emperor's condescending gifts, launch preemptive strikes, and ultimately fend off a massive 300,000-strong invasion force.How did a single letter referring to their own land as a "handful of dirt" become the ultimate weapon of humiliation? Lean back, relax, and let tonight's story unfold.🎙️ Keywords: #KoreanHistory #Audiobook #Podcast #Goguryeo #SuiDynasty #EuljiMundeok #Folklore #Storytelling👉 If you love historical tales, make sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review!
