AB - This study examines how political power in Manchuria shifted during the transition from the Yuan to the Ming, with particular attention to the reigns of King Gongmin (1351-1374) and King Woo (1374-1388) of Gorgyeo. The weakening of the Yuan authority over Manchuria, following the Red Turban Rebellion, opened the way for the Goryeo to reclaim former territories and extend its influences over the Jurchen tribes. The study also explores how early Ming rulers, constrained by internal instability, relied on Goryeo to stabilize the northeastern frontier.
The findings reveal how, as the Ming consolidated power, the Hongwu Emperor asserted territorial control over the region by establishment of the Tieling Garrison (鐵嶺衛) without consulting Goryeo, provoking diplomatic tensions. In response, Goryeo demanded the abolition of the garrison and planned the Conquest of Liaodong (遼東征伐). These escalating tensioned culminated in the Wiwha Island Retreat (威化島回軍), which enabled Yi Seong-gye to seize power and establish the Joseon dynasty.
This study highlights the critical role of Manchuria as a contested space in these transitions. It offers new insights into how regional power struggles shaped Korea-China relations and contributed to the political transformation from Goryeo to Joseon.
