At this time, the reigning monarch of North Korea was Li Ju, who overthrew the pro-Qing faction Gwanghae Jun. He was closer to the Ming Dynasty, but because of this, he was ravaged twice by Ding Mao Huan and Bingzi Huan, and Li Zhu was forced to
In the tenth year of Chongzhen, he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, and accepted the title of King of Korea from the Qing Dynasty, which changed the suzerainty of Korea from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.
At the beginning of his revolution, he once rebuked the previous king of North Korea, Gwanghae Gun, for being ungrateful and having an affair with Hou Jin, and claimed that he would "work together with the Ming Dynasty to conquer the captives", but in fact he still adopted a policy of non-stimulation towards Hou Jin.
We lived in peace for several years.
After Huang Taiji became the new Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, the situation changed. First of all, Huang Taiji had always been a hard-liner against North Korea within the Later Jin Dynasty. In addition, after he succeeded to the throne, there was internal instability and famine, which necessitated the launch of a war against North Korea.
to divert and alleviate conflicts.
So in the first month of the seventh year of Tianqi, Huang Taiji sent Erbeile Amin to lead an army to attack North Korea. At the same time, Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town was also targeted. This was the "Dingmao Rebellion".
Because the troops of the Later Jin Dynasty could not cross the sea at that time, they only captured Mao Wenlong's stronghold on the land, Iron Mountain, and were helpless against Mao Wenlong on the island. However, they were overwhelming against North Korea, from Yiju, Anju, Pyongyang to Hwanghae Road.
In Pingshan, Li Jie led Concubine Inmu and the ministers to take refuge in Ganghwa Island. At the same time, he ordered Prince Sohyun to divide the dynasty in Jeonju.
However, Huang Taiji’s intention at that time was not to occupy the entire territory of North Korea, but to force North Korea to surrender and withdraw its troops. Therefore, the two countries launched diplomatic negotiations after a brief battle. On March 3rd, an alliance was reached on Ganghwa Island, and the two sides became brothers.
When the country withdrew its troops, Amin made another agreement in Pyongyang without permission with the North Korean hostage Yuan Changjun Li Jiu, stipulating that North Korea should pay the backward gold coins.
Soon after, Hou Jin asked North Korea to open Zhongjiang to trade with it. North Korea could not refuse these requests and was forced to agree to them one by one.
However, the suzerain-vassal relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty has not yet been severed.
North Korea continued to maintain ambiguity between the Ming Dynasty and the post-Jin regime, secretly assisting the Ming Dynasty in its military operations outside the country.
In the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, Huang Taiji conquered the Chahar tribe of Mongolia and wanted to claim the title of emperor on the pretext of obtaining the imperial seal. Naturally, North Korea refused to submit. In February of the following year, Huang Taiji sent Ying Erdai and others to North Korea to pay homage to the spring letter.
In the name of the emperor, he persuaded North Korea to invite Huang Taiji to take the title of emperor, but North Korea firmly refused.
Taking this incident as a trigger, the King of Joseon, Li Jie, issued an edict to the Eight Dao of Joseon, denounced Hou Jin's attempt to arrogate authority, and ordered the officials and the people to be prepared to resist Hou Jin.
Also on April 11th of this year, Huang Taiji, the emperor, was in Shengjing and changed the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty. Luo Xian, the spring messenger of Joseon, replied that although Li Kuo was forced to participate in the celebration, he refused to kneel three times and kowtow nine times, and was punished.
Huang Taiji was repatriated, and tensions between the Qing Dynasty and North Korea suddenly escalated.
In the following months, North Korea divided into the anti-peace faction headed by Kim Sang-heon and the pro-peace faction headed by Cui Mingji. The anti-peace faction accounted for the vast majority of North Korean scholar-bureaucrats, but North Korea's King Yi Jie favored the pro-peace faction in his heart, so
In October, he sent a translator to the Qing Dynasty to send his credentials, and tactfully expressed his intention to plead for peace talks with the Qing Dynasty. However, Huang Taiji refused, and war became inevitable.
Bingzi's random war, due to the disparity in strength between North Korea and the Qing Dynasty and the incompetence of generals such as Jin Zidian, the Qing army approached Seoul without any effort. On December 14, King Li Zhu of North Korea arranged for the prince, the prince, to
The female family members of the palace and the family members of the ministers first went to Ganghwa Island to take refuge, and they set off later.
At this time, the vanguard of the Qing soldiers had already pursued them to the outskirts of Seoul, and it would still take two days to reach Ganghwa Island. The Korean monarchs and ministers were worried about being captured by the Qing soldiers on the way, so they chose to flee to Namhansanseong.
This is the siege of Namhansan Fortress in Lee Rae-hyung's world, which was filmed in the movie.
After the King Qin's army of the Eighth Route Army of Korea was easily defeated by Huang Taiji, the defenders of Nanhan Mountain City made several attacks but returned with disastrous defeats. From then on, they could only retreat.
The main force of the Qing army arrived in full force and surrounded the mountain city of Namhan. In despair, the Korean monarchs and ministers could only negotiate peace with the Qing army and accepted the Qing Dynasty's offer of an alliance to sever relations with the Qing Dynasty and pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty.
Li Jie himself was also in the wind and snow, wearing blue-dyed clothes and riding a white horse. He led the crown prince and more than 50 accompanying officials out of the west gate of Nanhan Mountain City, and knelt three times and kowtowed to Huang Taiji at Santian Ferry on the south bank of the Han River.
Then he changed to wearing the mink fur coat given by Huang Taiji to express his gratitude.
After Bingzi's chaos, the Qing army withdrew and took away Prince Zhaoxian as a hostage, Lord Fenglin and about 500,000,000 Korean prisoners back to the country. Hong Yihan, Wu Daji, and Yin Ji, who advocated peace, were also brought to Sheng
Beijing was executed.
After that, North Korea not only paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty, but was also forced to send troops to help the Qing Dynasty attack the Ming Dynasty, and sent troops to participate in the battles related to Pidao and Songjin.
From then on, the Korean King Li Jie tried his best to obey Huang Taiji's wishes, and deeply hated the ministers who were ashamed to submit to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He believed that the humiliation he suffered was caused by the anti-harmony faction, and directly criticized the anti-harmony faction for "misleading the country".
He also said: "This generation puts the survival of the country aside, seeks to gain a good reputation, and joins the party to defeat those who are different, and actually causes the country to be destroyed. How abominable!"
Correspondingly, he re-employed the Zhuhe faction and the pro-Qing faction. After Bingzi's chaos, he appointed Cui Mingji as his leader to discuss political affairs. After Cui Mingji was captured by the Qing Dynasty for liaison with the Ming Dynasty, he appointed Jin Zidian.
However, the legitimacy of Li Jie's regime also faced a serious crisis after the two chaos. Since Li Jie overthrew the pro-Qing faction Gwanghaejun's regime in the name of pro-Ming Dynasty, his surrender to the Manchus naturally made people feel more...
disappointment.
After Bingzi's chaos, there was a wave of resignations and retirements in North Korea, and pro-Ming scholars were also very disappointed with the North Korean royal family.
Another manifestation is that since Ding Mao's chaos, rebellion conspiracies have emerged one after another. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Li Renju launched an army in Jiangyuan Province. In the first year of Chongzhen, Liu Xiaoli and others wanted to establish the king of Rencheng.
Li Zhuo wanted to establish Jinyuan, Li Jian's rebellion in the eighth year of Chongzhen, the curse incident of Princess Zhenming and the palace officials in the fourth year of Chongde, the treason incident of Li Tinghai in the eighth year of Chongde, and the hero Shen Qiyuan wanted to establish Huaien in the first year of Showa.
Jun...
It can be said that this was the period with the most frequent rebellions in the history of the Joseon Dynasty.
The North Korean regime was in the midst of internal turmoil. The Qing army's entry into the country, and even its seizure of Emperor Chongzhen and the establishment of a new Ming emperor in Beijing without authorization, all brought huge impact and shock to North Korea.
Until the Battle of Xuzhou last year, when Li Laiheng led the Dashun Army to annihilate 100,000 strong Qing soldiers, the Donglu's entry into the Pass and the southern expedition was very smooth.
Therefore, the King of North Korea, Li Jian, concluded that the Donglu were bound to dominate the Central Plains, and it was impossible for North Korea to compete with them, so they tried their best to suppress them domestically, eliminating the peace-rejecting faction and the anti-Qing faction.
The result was that a large number of scholars who were disappointed with the Korean royal family launched rebellions one after another, and North Korea's own regime stability and military strength declined to the bottom.
Due to its geographical distance and difficulty in getting news, North Korea only learned about the Qing army's defeat in the pass in the first year of Tianfa. The North Korean monarchs and ministers could not believe this for a time, thinking that the so-called "captives were captured by thieves" rumored in the distance.
"We will be defeated, with hundreds of thousands of casualties and casualties, and Yan Yun will be completely abandoned" is just a lie.
