ABSTRACT

This essay examines the war situation in the Northeastern China in the early days of Sino-Russian border conflicts and the measures taken by the Qing Dynasty to support the war efforts. It uses the archives of Aisin Gioro Doni (愛新覺 羅 多尼, 1636-1661) reported to the Emperor Shunzhi (順治帝) in 1655. These archives shed light on the internal discussions within the Qing Dynasty. They also include details on the war situation of northeastern Jakűn Gűsa (八旗) in the early days of Sino-Russian border conflict, the discussions between Ministry of Military Management and Hebei Amban (議政大臣), and entries of Emperor Shunzhi’s edicts. A thorough exploration of these archives found that after the defeat of the Qing army at the Battle of Kumarsk in 1655, the situation in northeastern Jakűn Gűsa was unfavorable, with several clan villages surrendering to the tsardom of Russia. The commanders of the troops requested military supplies, the dispatch of troops, and assistance of naval forces belonging to the Ujen Cooha (漢軍八旗), The Ministry of Military Affairs agreed to most of the requests but reduced the number of dispatched troops and obtained materials for military supplies from nearby areas. Hebei Amban eventually agreed with most military officials’ discussions, but refused Chosun‘s dispatch of naval forces to avoid costs. While Emperor Shunzhi accepted the proposal between Hebei Amban and the Ministry of Military Affairs, further research is needed to determine whether the proposed plan was implemented. The essay emphasizes the importance of using archives such as the Archives of Doni to better understand literature such as 『北 征錄』 and sheds light on the efforts made by the Qing Dynasty during the early days of the Sino-Russian border conflicts.
