This thesis introduces the relationships between the Later Jin Dynasty and the Joseon Dynasty in the early 17th century. During the Battle of Sarhu, the triangle relationship between the lLater Jin, the Joseon Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty changed. Once Hong Taiji ascended the throne, the situation became even more complicated. His ambition led him to begin two major wars, the “Later Jin invasion of Joseon” and the “Qing invasion of Joseon,” both of which expanded his territory The Later Jin invasion of Joseon occurred in early 1627 when the Later Jin under Hong Taiji commanded Amin to lead the Jurchen army in an invasion of the Joseon Dynasty. The war ended after three months with the Later Jin establishing itself as sovereign tributary overlord over Joseon. However, Joseon continued its relationship with the Ming dynasty and showed defiance in solidifying its tributary relationship with the Jurchens. Ten years later, in 1636, the Qing invasion of Joseon occurred, thereby establishing, establishing its status as the center of the Imperial Chinese tributary system and formally severing Joseon's relationship with the Ming dynasty. The Later Jin was a dynasty established by the Khan Nurgaqi in Manchuria, and was the predecessor of the Qing dynasty. In 1616, Nurhaci proclaimed himself the Khan and used the state name of the former Jin dynasty, which is named by historians as the "Later Jin". In 1636, Hong Taiji changed the nation’s name into the Great Qing. The Joseon Dynasty was the country directly between the Ming and the Later Jin. The attendant problem is which side was Joseon on. At first when khan Nurgaqi in the reign he want to keep good diplomatic relations with Joseon. However Joseon is also a Confucian country as Ming, and also helped Joseon when Japan attacked him. Khan Nurgaqi keep show his kindness to Joseon but it didn't work. Joseon still support Ming and fight with Later Jin. Things are beginning to change when Hong Taiji succeed to the throne. Compared with his father, Hong Taiji had more forceful methods and attitudes towards Joseon. The first thing he did after ascending to the throne was to declare war with Joseon in 1627. Across the war, Joseon was forced to sign an agreement that established diplomatic relations and tribute to the Later Jin. After a few years of peace, on the one hand Joseon wanted to get rid of Later Jin's control and go back to Ming's side. On the other hand, Joseon believed that the Later Jin’s government was gradually getting weaker and that their control over Joseon was no longer as strong. In fact, the Later Jin held victory over Mongolia and changed the country’s name to Great Qing in 1636, after that, Great Qing became more and more powerful and gained enough strength to countervail the forces of Joseon and even the Ming Dynasty. All of which allowed the Great Qing become the overlord of the Central Plains. This paper introduces this period of history according to Manwen Laodang and Records of the Qing.
