How many Ming people immigrated to Korea?

North Korea was a vassal state of China for a long time in history, including the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, although North Korea was a vassal state with the Ming and Qing Dynasties, its attitude towards these two dynasties was quite different.

After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea still insisted on using the title of Emperor Chongzhen, offering sacrifices to the Ming emperors, taking in Ming immigrants and letting them take the imperial examinations.

During the Southern Ming Dynasty, North Korea also took the opportunity of the Qing Dynasty to inquire about the whereabouts of Emperor Li Yong. North Korea is even preparing to unite anti-Qing forces to crusade against the Qing Dynasty and revive the Ming Dynasty. It was only later that the situation did not allow me to give up.

Why did ancient Korea not like the Qing Dynasty, but worshipped the Ming Dynasty?

Manchu originated in the northeast and is very close to North Korea. Because of the special relationship between North Korea and Ming Dynasty, Hou Jin always felt that he would be caught between Scylla and Charybdis, so he has been trying his best to win over North Korea and alienate the relationship between Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

But none of them succeeded. Originally, North Korea looked down on the late Jin Dynasty, but after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he launched two wars of aggression against North Korea, and both times North Korea lost.

For the first time, North Korea and Houjin became brother countries. The second time, North Korea was forced to sever relations with the Ming Dynasty and became a vassal of the Manchu Dynasty. However, this made North Korea very angry. North Korea was very dissatisfied with the fact that it hated Manchu and was now forced to give in to it.

Another reason is influenced by the traditional Confucian view of China people and foreigners. In the eyes of North Koreans, Jurchen is a savage, and naturally she will have strong contempt and hostility. Just can't beat it, or North Korea will solve it itself.

Judging from the above two points, the Ming Dynasty and North Korea are different.

Although the Ming Dynasty and Korea have their own uniqueness in culture, they also have many characteristics. North Korea's political system is also modeled after the Ming Dynasty, and both sides have a strong sense of identity.

Besides, when Daming was strong, it was a detached existence in East Asia. The small countries here not only obey, but also worship. Culturally, politically and militarily.

Therefore, after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea once called itself "Little China", and even some countries, including Viet Nam, refused to recognize the Qing Dynasty as China, which was also one of the factors.

Although the relationship with North Korea was once very stiff after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Li Chenggui, the then North Korean general, did not agree with it and defected directly to establish Lee Korea. Later, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea was so good that even North Koreans could take Daming's imperial examination.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Japan invaded Korea several times, but for the help of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid North Korea still didn't know its fate.

However, due to the situation, North Korea had to bow to the Qing Dynasty.
