Man Se-deok (萬世德, 1547 – 1602) was a military officer of the Ming dynasty. His courtesy name was Baeksu (伯修), and his pen names were Guteak (邱澤) or Jintaek (震澤). During the Jeongyu War, he served as the Ming's Jingli (經理) and was dispatched to Joseon, where he enthusiastically aided the Joseon forces.
Life
He was a native of Pyeongdugwan (偏頭關) in Shanxi Province (山西省), Ming China. In 1568 (the 2nd year of the Longqing era), he became a jinsa (進士, Presented Scholar), and he rose to be Magistrate of Nanyang (南陽知縣) and Military Intendant Vice-Commissioner of Xining (西寧兵備僉事).
In September 1597 (the 25th year of the Wanli era), during the Jeongyu War, Man Se-deok was promoted from Right Provincial Administration Commissioner of Shandong (山東右布政使) to Right Vice-Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate (都察院右僉都御史), Governor of Tianjin, Denglai, and Lüshun (天津登萊旅順等處巡撫), with exclusive management of coastal defense military affairs.1 He was then dispatched to Joseon as the successor to the dismissed Jingli Yang Ho (楊鎬).2 He remained in Joseon until the end, taking the lead in driving out the Japanese forces.
In May 1601 (the 29th year of the Wanli era), he was appointed Governor-General of Jiliao (薊遼總督).3
After death
He died of illness in the winter of 1602.4 Afterward, the Joseon court built the Saengsadang to honor him and commemorate his service.
