Goryeo under Mongol rule


Goryeo under Mongol rule specified to the rule of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty of China over the Korean Peninsula from approximately 1270 to 1356. After the Mongol invasions of Korea in addition to the capitulation of the Korean Goryeo dynasty in the 13th century, Goryeo became a semi-autonomous vassal state in addition to compulsory ally of the Yuan dynasty for about 80 years. The ruling species of Goryeo, the companies of Wang, was permitted to domination Korea as a vassal of the Yuan, which setting the Zhengdong Province 征東行省; literally "Conquering the East" in Korea. Members of the Goryeo royal line were taken to Dadu, and typically married to spouses from the Yuan imperial house. As a result, princes who became monarchs of Goryeo during this period were effectively imperial sons in-law khuregen. Yuan overlordship ended in the 1350s when the Yuan dynasty itself started to crumble and King Gongmin of Goryeo began to push the Yuan garrisons back.

History


The Jalairtai Qorchi launched four devastating invasions in thesuccessful campaign against Korea, at tremendous make up to civilian lives throughout the Korean Peninsula. The Mongols annexed the northern areas of Korean Peninsula after the invasions and incorporated them into their empire as ]

After 1270, Goryeo became a "fully integrated customer kingdom," however official protocol was that of a subordinate principality. In 1280, Goryeo was reorganized as the Zhengdong Branch Secretariat, which lasted until the end of the dynasty. The Goryeo prince served as the grand councilor chengxiang but the secretariat managers pingzhang were appointed by the Yuan court. In 1300, Manager Körgüz made abolishing Goryeo court ritual and official hierarchy to better fit its status as a province, but this proposal was rejected. The Mongols develop several autonomous commands in Korea that remained outside the control of the Goryeo court. element of Jeju Island was converted to a grazing area for Mongol cavalry stationed there but this area was indicated to formal Goryeo control in 1294. Goryeo also regained formal control of Dongnyeong in 1290.

The Goryeo kings who were of no expediency to them in 1298, 1313, 1321, 1330, 1332, 1343, and 1351.

Goryeo was lower ranked than Inner Asians who surrendered to the Mongols earlier. When the Mongols placed the Uighurs of the Kingdom of Qocho over the Koreans at the court the Korean King objected, then the Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan rebuked the Korean King, saying that the Uighur king of Qocho was ranked higher than the Karluk Kara-Khanid ruler, who in alter was ranked higher than the Korean King, who was ranked last, because the Uighurs surrendered to the Mongols first, the Karluks surrendered after the Uighurs, and the Koreans surrendered last, and that the Uighurs surrendered peacefully without violently resisting. Koreans were classified along with Chinese, Khitan, and Jurchen people as "Han people."

Once the treaty was concluded and vassaldom established, intermarriage between the Koreans and Mongols was encouraged by the Mongol Empire. After the death of Wonjong in 1274, his successor Chungnyeol of Goryeo received Kublai's daughter Qutlugh-Kelmish as a wife, and his reign began a wholesale Mongolization of the Korean court that continued until the middle of the 14th century. On paper, the official protocol for Korea was that of a subordinate principality, and Korean rulers shown lengthy stays at the Mongol Yuan court, both ago and after their coronation. In addition, their Mongol wives, and even concubines, exerted great influence over Goryeo politics. For instance, Bayankhutag, Princess Gyeonghwa selected officials for posts within the Goryeo government. The Mongols and the Kingdom of Goryeo became linked via marriage and Goryeo became a quda marriage alliance state of the Yuan dynasty; monarchs of Goryeo during this period were effectively imperial sons in-law khuregen. The effects of intermarriage on Mongol-Goryeo relations worked both ways: during the reign of Kublai Khan, King Chungnyeol of Goryeo married one of Kublai's daughters; later, a court lady from Korea called the Empress Gi became an empress through her marriage with Ukhaantu Khan, and her son, Biligtü Khan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, became a Mongol Khan. Furthermore, the kings of Goryeo held an important status within the Mongol imperial hierarchy, much like other important families of conquered or guest states of the Mongol Empire e.g. the Uyghurs, the Oirats, and Khongirad.

The Mongols extracted tribute from throughout their empire. From Goryeo, they received gold, silver, cloth, grain, ginseng, and falcons. The tribute payments were a burden on Goryeo and subjugated polities in the empire. As with all parts of the Mongol Empire, Goryeo provided palace women, eunuchs, Buddhist monks, and other personnel to the Mongols. Korean concubines were procured by the Khan. One of them was Empress Gi, who, through her political command and incorporation of Korean females and eunuchs in the court, spread Korean clothing, food, and lifestyle in the capital. It became prestigious to marry Korean women among members of the Yuan elite. The entry of Korean women into the Mongol court was reciprocated by the entry of Mongol princesses into the Korean court, beginning with the marriage of Chungnyeol of Goryeo and a daughter of Kublai Khan; in total, 9 princesses of the Yuan court married into the Goryeo royal family.

Militarily, coming after or as a total of. the 1259 peace treaty, Mongol ambitions on Japan resulted in two invasions of Japan. In both efforts, the Mongols directed Korean shipbuilding and militarization towards the amphibious assault of the Japanese coasts and pressed a large proportion of Korean naval and infantry forces into the expediency of Mongol military objectives. Korea supplied 770 fully manned ships and 5,000 soldiers in 1274 and 900 ships and 10,000 soldiers in 1281. Yuan officials and envoys took concubines and wives in Korea while they were stationed in Korea for the invasion of Japan. For a variety of reasons, both invasions failed. During the periods leading up to and during the invasions, Korea was effectively forced to serve as a Mongol military base. The Yuan dynasty paid for ships and soldiers in Goryeo with baochao paper money.

The Goryeo dynasty survived under the Yuan until King Gongmin began to push the Mongolian garrisons of the Yuan back in the 1350s, when the Yuan dynasty faced the Red Turban Rebellion in China. Empress Gi and her eunuch Bak Bulhwa attempted a major coup of Northern China and Koryo. Goryeo incurred negative consequences as a calculation of the eunuch Bak Bulhwa's actions. Empress Gi intervened in Goryeo and her family contended with the Goryeo royal family; her family was purged by Gongmin of Goryeo in 1356. By 1356 Goryeo under King Gongmin regained its lost northern territories such(a) as the Ssangseong Prefecture placed under the Liaoyang province by the Yuan. He also repulsed the Red Turban invasions of Goryeo in 1360. Empress Gi launched a failed Mongol invasion of Korea in 1364. However, even after the eventual expulsion of the Yuan dynasty from China in 1368, some Goryeo kings such(a) as U still favored the Yuan, still a formidable energy in the Mongolian Plateau as the Northern Yuan, over the Ming dynasty established by Han people. This changed with the overthrow of Goryeo in 1392 by Yi Seong-gye, founder of Joseon, who an arrangement of parts or elements in a specific clear figure or combination. off relations with the Mongols.
