AB - Mokcheon is an area in Cheonan City, in current Chungnam Province. Donghak had widely spread in this region in 1880. In 1883, Donghak scriptures had been published in this region and its total number of believers were increasing day by day. Therefore, the believers of Donghak had congregated in the assembly of Boeun that was organized in 1893, and also actively participated in the battle of Donghak Peasant Army in 1893.
The Seseong mountain battle was the battle that broke out between the Donghak Peasant Army and the Government Forces. The size of the Donghak Peasant Army was 4,000. They were led by Kim Bogyong and Lee Huieun. They started reinforcing their arms from around September 30, 1894 after they occupied Seseong mountain. In order to secure the strategically important area while preparing the main force of the Donghak Peasant Army to attack Seoul.
