Relationship between Joseon and Qing by German-Jewish Opert

 After the integration of different races and different classes in 1397 (Opert's Ogi), the Joseon government was placed under the control of an absolute and powerful sovereign. The general view that Joseon was ruled by China in the relationship between Joseon and China is very wrong. Of course, hundreds of years ago, the king of Joseon had an honor to the emperor of China. But even in subordinate relationships at that time, Joseon was able to exercise its own rights, and even its relaxed subordination had long since disappeared, although whenever necessary, Joseon had to express some gratitude for the great support and aid it had given. Even so, like Thailand, Burma, and Kyodojina, China had to give up its sovereignty over Joseon. Despite their valiant spirit, the Joseon people were able to defeat the overwhelmingly dominant Japanese army only with Chinese aid. And in the desperate moment, the fact that we had to expect from the powerful and merciful suzerain country was imprinted in the minds of the Joseon people. At that time, China was not satisfied with the verbal or documented promises it gave, but was eager to take a realistic advantage and demanded the transfer of the Liaodong region, which was the territory of Joseon, which led to discord between the two countries. In the end, China made real gains by subjugating the fluctuations. And for some time, Joseon faithfully fulfilled its annual obligation to pay tribute, and each time a new king succeeded to the throne, it had to obtain the throne. At that time, a special secret treaty was signed between the two countries according to tradition, which means that Joseon handed over its three provinces to the emperor when the Chinese emperor was deprived of the throne. For now, it is unclear whether the treaty is valid or only applies to the rulers of the time or to their successors After all, these treaties have no effect today. This is because the signing of this treaty was a measure for the Joseon government to prepare for a big event, and the fact that there was no intention of obeying the treaty itself proves as follows. In other words, Ming Dynasty, which ruled China at the time, did not seem to expect such a treaty to take effect if Tatar temporarily took control of it, and it was never actually written useful. - Another description - (strategy because it overlaps with the above) At first, Joseon fulfilled its treaty obligations with honor as long as it felt a little bit afraid of a stronger country. Then, when the Qing Dynasty declined and their national power increased, they did not accept it faithfully, and gradually accepted the implementation of the treaty only formally and continued habitually. In the early days, the exchange of envoys between Beijing and Seoul was limited to envoys dispatched from Joseon for a long time in recent years. When Joseon offered some local products such as paper and ginseng to the emperor, China also sent corresponding gifts. The envoys who were dispatched to Joseon from time to time in the past showed a rather arrogant attitude. However, as the status of Joseon gradually strengthened, Chinese envoys began to be treated only as ceremonies. Since the Joseon government kept spies close together to watch them, they were more like prisoners than envoys to the emperor. Therefore, it is completely wrong to still know that the two countries are in a military relationship, and there is no case to prove it. Joseon, like Thailand, is an independent and independent country, and any treaty signed or agreed in the past is now nothing but a piece of tissue today, and it has long been forgotten. More than anyone else, Joseon people themselves think so. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It doesn't seem to add up or add up as few sheep do, but it doesn't seem to have a very zero credit rating. By the way, what does it mean that if Emperor Zhongkke is usurped from the throne, the king of Joseon ceded Samdo?
