In "wars between the Joseon Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty (the Qing Dynasty)" at the first half of the 17th century, the Joseon Army could only defense under the surprise attack of Jurchen (Manchu) fighters. After the army meeting their Waterloo, the Emperor RenZu performed the three kowtows and nine prostrations to Qingtaizong Huangtaiji. The Joseon Dynasty became vassal state of the Qing Empire. It made an essential effect not only to the alternation from the Ming to the Qing and a new Northeast Asian political structure, but also to the historical trend of the Joseon Dynasty.
