The Relation between Chosun and Jurchen(女眞) in the Northeast Region under Taejong(太宗) Reigns

But this good relationship was changed during the reign of Taejong. Because in the period Emperor Youngrak of Ming dynasty enforced a new policy to make peace with Jurchens changing Ming’s traditional policy against them. Most of Jurchens in the northeast region accepted the request of the reconciliation of Ming after Tong Mongke Temur of Odori visited the Royal Court of Ming. Reacting on Jurshens’ submission to Ming, Chosun took some economic countermeasures against them such as closing the trade center at Kyongwon. The Jurchens who suffered from them economically invaded Kyongwon of Chosun in 1406. After that many invasions followed and Byungmasa, Han Hung-bo was at last killed by Udike and other Jurchens in 1410. After all, King Taejong decided to make an attack on the Jurchens. As a result of the first expedition against Jurchens, the number of their envoys from 1410(10th year of King Taejong) to 1430(4th year of King Sejong) increased in a large degree, while their invasions remarkably decreased. After the death of King Taejong, Tong Monke Temur, the chief of the Odori tribe first moved to Bongju in 1411 and then returned back to his base, Hoeryong in 1423. In short, it was possible that Chosun took the initiative in the relation with Jurchens by the active expedition of Taejong. But the expedition also gave Ming the excuse for Chisese Gimi to Jurchens.
