Myeongguk Samjangbi (Monument to the Three Ming Generals) is a stele located below Gongbukru Pavilion in Gongsanseong Fortress, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do. This stele is a monument of gratitude and praise erected to commemorate the achievements of the three Ming generals—Admiral Yi Gong (Lee Gong), Officer Im Je, and Guerrilla Commander Nam Bangwi—who were stationed in Gongju in the autumn of 1598 (the 31st year of King Seonjo's reign), the year after the Jeongyu War (second Japanese invasion), and defended the area against Japanese forces. Originally erected on the southern bank of the Geumgang River in Gongju, it was moved to Gongsanseong Fortress. During the Japanese colonial period, Japanese people damaged some of the characters and buried it in the backyard of the Gongju-eup office; after liberation, it was relocated back to this site. The monument consists of a total of three steles, and its content reads: "The three Ming generals arrived in Gongju in the autumn of the 31st year of King Seonjo's reign, the year after the Jeongyu year, strictly maintaining military discipline while caring for the residents with sincerity, allowing the people of Gongju to remain safe from the threat of Japanese pirates and to resume their livelihoods for the first time since the Imjin year." Nearby attractions include, in addition to Gongsanseong Fortress, the Tomb of King Muryeong, the Songsan-ri Tomb Complex, Gongju Sanseong Market, and Eun-gae-gol History Park.
