Seoul

Seoul (historically Hanseong) was the capital of the Joseon kingdom. The Sŏn master Hyujeong (Sŏsan Daesa) is honoured for raising and organising monk-soldier militias that joined the campaign against the Japanese during the invasions of the 1590s; together with Ming forces his monks took part in the recapture of Pyongyang in 1593, part of the wider effort that drove the Japanese from the capital region.
