Japanese Invasion which occurred in 1592-1597 year. Toyotomi Hideyosi is in power Japan aggressive war which carries on to the Korean Li dynasty. The Korean Li dynasty called it"Japanese Invasion",Japaese called it WenLu,ChangQing War.The Ming dynasty called it sending punitive expedition against Japanese Pirates to protect Korea.This case is the big event in middle of Ming Dynasty.Ningxia Bobai Disturbance,Guizhou Yangyinglong Disturbance and Japanese Invasion was called three punitive expedition in WanLi periods.Toyotomi Hideyosi unifies Japan to call self GuanBai, the launch invades North Korea's war, the attempt breaks through clearly seals the tribute system as central East Asia. The Ming Dynasty in the initial stages of war have inherited the half century to a great extent before Japan's policy to the coastal area Japanese Pirates. The Korean Peninsula warning sound, the bright seat of monarchical government starts coastal immediately the defensive measure, but is not considers immediately to North Korea's policy and the strategic question. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty has the suspicion to North Korea, does not dare to confirm whether is North Korea directs the Japanese army"to go through cuts down clearly". Unceasing contacts through the Liaodong border garrison with the North Korean aspect, inquires and the investigation, finally confirmed that North Korea is not directs the Japanese army to attack the Ming Dynasty. Through government's discussion, the Ming Dynasty rulers and the ministers thought finally faces Korea's comfort direct relation Ming Dynasty national capital and the Liaodong area safety, Korea does not guarantee, then the national capital does not guarantee, the Ming Dynasty very quick will fall into the passive aspect, therefore the Ming Dynasty has formulated the imperial enemy's outside entrance to a country decision-making, will announce dispatches troops, but the initial standpoint will be based on prevents the Japanese army to attack places such as Liaodong, Shandong through the Korean Peninsula, what therefore the Ming Dynasty army will pay great attention in Korea will be defends the critical time Ming Dynasty homeland security the strategic point, will prevent Japan to seize these areas.The Ming Dynasty sent ShiRu and DaiChaoPing who leaded 1000 people,then sent ZuChenXun leaded 3000 people to protend Korea when the Japanese army seized Pyongyang and reached Yi state.This pulled open the Ming Dynasty to aid Korea combat's prologue. In this continued to 1600 war, the Ming Dynasty to carry out it before Korea to dispatch troops to throughout to decide the strategy, namely the imperial enemy in the Korean Peninsula, prevented the Japanese to attack the Ming Dynasty native place. Therefore in the war, Ming Dynasty army mainly participates in them thinking to the Ming Dynasty national capital area strategic point, like Pyongyang QuanBeiDao area. The Ming Dynasty aids Korea the opposition to Japan to be possible to divide into two stages, the first stage was 1592 to 1596, the Ming Dynasty attempts the front to stabilize south of Pyongyang, caused Japan to drop to Liaodong's threat lowly, attempts through the peace talks to urge Japan afterward to repulse the enemy. The second stage is both sides regarding seals the tribute question to carry on the negotiations, makes war until the breakage, this time Ming Dynasty and Japan compete for area with emphasis entire Luo, finally Japan will expel Korea.First stage campaign, namely 1593 campaign. The Ming Dynasty thought Japan adopts the strategy is ascends the road from the Korean Peninsula, by the land attacked Ming Dynasty. Japan definitely will follow the Pyongyang - Yalu River - Liaodong - Beijing such to march the route.. Pyongyang is Ming Dynasty first choice control important place. in July, 1592 ZuChenXun attacked Pyongyang, dispatched Song Yingchang, Li Rusong in December the army to enter within the boundaries of officially Korea, next year first lunar month will attack Pyongyang, the Ming Dynasty to the date combat official start. And obtained the Pyongyang major success in 1593, has stabilized Korea the front, sent to attack Liaodong's possibility except Japan from Pyongyang. But because rear area the question, the Ming army forces go south the deficiency technique, can not but use with Japan negotiates achieves causes the goal which Japan repulses the enemy.The negotiation at the Pyongyang major success before in fact already started, Ministry of War Shangshu Shi Xing dispatches Shen Wei to respect in private with Japan negotiates matter of the peace negotiation. Finally should under lack the technique when Song decided that using the peace negotiation time takes the delaying tactics. But the Ming Dynasty dynasty discusses the result is negotiates with Japan, confers rank and title Toyotomi Hideyosi is Japanese king, but cannot pass the tribute. Shen Weijing deceited two sides, cause the Ming Dynasty and Japan have not achieved the proper benefit, the breakdown of negotiation. Japan in 1597 recurrence war.Second stage campaign, what the Ming Dynasty mainly competes is south an entire Luo area, consolidates the Seoul defense line. Removes Japan by entire Luo Daowei the springboard attacks China coastal area by the sea route the possibility.The Ming Army depend on Seou.MaGui 17000 people guards Seoul.The cavalry soldier 3000 people who belonged to ChenYuZhong guarded Quanzhou station.The Liaodong 3000 solders who belong to YangYuanFeng guard NanYuan. Wu Weizhong leads 4000 people to move up on Zhongzhou, echoes mutually with the Namwon armed forces; Guerrilla General Mao Guoqi leads the Henan infantry 3000 people to guard the star state, the control island range, the autumn wind range. Namwon, Jishan. Ming Army the strategic plan is, the above various armed forces guard this fort, waited for XingJie leads 40,000 main forces one, Ming Army and the Korean army forces namely change over to strategic counteroffensive, by the Namwon, the Zhongzhou launch pincer movement, pounds enemy of straight the Pusan..Thus, has relieved the Seoul area Japanese forces threat, stable defense line. North Korea LiShunChen obtained has called the Liang naval battle's victory. Simultaneously XingJie leads Ming army the main force and the hemp joins forces expensively, 70,000 Ming army and the power millet leadership's Korean army forces form the Sino-North Korean Allied armies, launches a counter attack. The Japanese forces are compelled to retreat, area south coast. From now on, Japan already relieved regarding the Ming Dynasty LiaoDong and the national capital area's actual threat. Achieves basically eliminates Japan to attack China's possibility through North Korea. Finally, Toyotomi Hideyosi died of illness, Japan in is rushed to the seashore in the situation, could not but withdraw troops in panic.The war lasted 7, 8 year, the Ming Dynasty causes the downfall of the nation the strength investment war, the consumption is most.in three punitive expedition in WanLi periods. The Ming Dynasty joins this war's motive is not only maintains clearly relates with Korea's intimate Zong Fan, moreover is the Ming Dynasty to has drifted away one kind of response which challenges outside this system's Japan. The Ming Dynasty is precisely continues to Japan's understanding to the Jiajing dwarf's chaotic understanding one kind, therefore goes through into to the rumor states clearly, is very sensitive..The Ming Dynasty starts to think that China encounters to Japan invades China's possibility from Korea to be very big, therefore devotes area Beijing Shandong, Liaodong's coast defense. Therefore, Ming Government formulates the imperial enemy in overseas basically to the date policy. The Ming Dynasty attempts to use Korean this screens and fences the function, Japan will prevent to be far away from Beijing area the region. The Ming Dynasty to serve the above purpose, has adopted the war and peace talk's two kind of strategies. These two kind of strategies are not the unification coordinated become, but appears in the Ming Dynasty internal strife fierce situation the special performance, this has also decided the policy instability. The war divided into RenChen and DingYou campaigns. These two combats have achieved the Ming Dynasty imperial enemy's outside entrance to a country policy, Japan is enable to take using Korea invades China's springboard. Therefore, In the RenChen war ,Ming Dynasty is formulates to the date policy take own scope of interest as the starting point. Its basic objective is solves the dwarf to contract the question, imperial enemy outside entrance to a country. This kind of policy maintains Ming Dynasty's security, also causes Japan to challenge the East Asian international order the ambition to come to naught. But implements from the policy may see the latter Ming dynasty the internal affairs disorder, the policy comes out of many doors malpractice, appears the obvious latter Ming dynasty meteorology.
