Abstract

War is crucial enough to determine the existence of a nation by including a large number of troops, weapons systems, and a munitions system, enormous human and material costs. The war in the Joseon Dynasty was not a level of regime change but a serious history connected with the survival of the kingdom or empire. In this regard, the traditional era tried to use diplomatic means other than war as much as possible. In relation to the Imjin War, the Ming troops participated in the war due to the dispatch of Joseon and the sense of crisis of the Ming. However, a basic review of the Ming is needed. There is little analysis of what the Ming was like and its military environment during the war. In addition, the Ming''s participation in the crisis was not only analyzed, but the status of the Ming and its perception of Joseon as an emperor country were not analyzed. As Ming and neighboring countries in the Ming-centered international order, Joseon had obligations and rights of state relations. As an emperor, the Ming had the right to demand tribute to Joseon, as well as to save the crisis of Joseon. When the Imjin War broke out, the Ming entered the war with the real purpose of responding to the crisis with the justification of saving Joseon as the emperor. When the Ming sent troops to neighboring countries, the military recognized the various military systems as its burden to maintain its authority and status as the military of the emperor. Therefore, the Ming planned to provide various military supplies while dispatching troops. However, the commanders of the dispatched Ming troops actually handed over the duty of military procurement to Joseon, which was conscious of and accepted Ming''s authority.
