wrong..Ming sent over 2 lakh(200 thousands) soldiers..
Joseon simply played their game..they kept Korea independent while Ming Dynasty soon fell within half century.then they fought against Manhchus using same Ming...but what happened???Manchu took control of China,yet,Korea remained out of their hand.then Japan came and simply drove China's remaining influence out of Korea.
if you study history of Korea,its not Japan who invaded them repeatedly,its China,who breached their sovereignty repeatedly.
Ming didn't have 200 thousand men to sent, our economy was ruined by hyper inflation because of our introduction of the first paper money and the Spanish silver/gold from the new world.
The fall of Ming had a lot of reasons, I don't want to go over it here, but just know the Ming didn't fall to Qing, it fell to Shun. Get your facts right.
Korea was defeated and made a subject of Qing, the Qing emperor humiliated the Korean king to show his superiority, from that point, Korea provided food, and soldiers for all future Qing campaigns.
I don't even want to talk about the other points, it's so far from the truth, it's almost as if you don't know East Asia history, oh wait, that's exactly what it is.
