About This Book
A novel by Kim Hoon, author of the bestselling novels such as
Song of
Sword and
Boundless Landscape,
based on the historical event -- the second Manchu invasion of Korea.
Background Info:
The second Manchu invasion of Korea occurred in 1637, when the
Manchu Qing Empire brought Korea's Joseon dynasty into submission. It
followed the first Manchu invasion of Korea of 1627. After the first
invasion, the Joseon Dynasty continued to defy the Manchus. Trade was in
bad condition and Korea did not return fugitives from Later Jin. In
addition, Korea took a defiant attitude when Hong Taiji declared the new
dynasty of Qing. Korean delegates refused to kowtow to Hong Taiji at the
ceremony and threw away the diplomatic correspondence where Hong Taiji
was referred to as the emperor. The Manchu delegates Inggūldai and
Mafuta got a cold reception in Hanseong (Seoul) where Korean soldiers
stood in the shadow. The delegates were shocked and fled back to Qing.
The Korean court was dominated by the pro-war party. However, they did
not enhance military power. In addition, a warlike message to Pyong'ando
was carelessly seized by Inggūldai.
