Military Of Goryeo
The military of Goryeo was the primary military force of the Goryeo dynasty. During the Later Three Kingdoms period, Wang Kŏn overthrew the Taebong ruler, Kung Ye, and renamed it Goryeo after the Goguryeo dynasty. He led the kingdom's armies and navies against Silla and Later Baekje and unified the peninsula. Goryeo was able to mobilize sizable military might during times of war. In the early period, the army was known for successfully defending the northern borders from the Khitans and the Jurchens. But the Imperial Court and the official scholars mistreated the military and overthrew the emperor, establishing a military regime that lasted a century. In the middle period, the army was also known for repelling the Mongol Empire until they capitulated after the ninth invasion, reducing the emperor to the status of king. The military regime opposed Mongol rule until the royal court overthrew them under their direction. The Sambyeolcho Army revolted against the Mongols in response u ...

Korean–Jurchen Border Conflicts
The Korean–Jurchen border conflicts were a series of conflicts from the 10th century to the 17th century between the Korean states of Goryeo and Joseon and the Jurchen people. Background In 993, the land between the border of Liao and Goryeo was occupied by troublesome Jurchen people, Jurchen tribes, but the Goryeo diplomat Sŏ Hŭi was able to negotiate with Liao dynasty, Liao and obtain that land up to the Yalu River, citing that in the past it belonged to Goguryeo, the predecessor to Goryeo. Both Balhae remnants and miscellaneous tribal peoples like Jurchens lived in the area between the Yalu and Daedong river, Daedong rivers which was targeted for annexation by Goryeo. Goryeo period The Jurchens in the Yalu River region were tributaries of Goryeo since the reign of Taejo of Goryeo (r. 918-943), who called upon them during the wars of the Later Three Kingdoms period. Taejo relied heavily on a large Jurchen cavalry force to defeat Later Baekje. The Jurchens switched alleg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hugoguryeo
Taebong (; ) was a state established by Kung Ye () on the Korean Peninsula in 901 during the Later Three Kingdoms. Name The state's initial name was Goryeo, after the official name of Goguryeo, a previous state in Manchuria and the northern Korean Peninsula, from the 5th century. After suggestion by Ajitae, Kung Ye changed the state's name to Majin (from maha jindan) in 904, and eventually to Taebong in 911. When Wang Kon overthrew Kung Ye’s regime and founded the Goryeo dynasty, he restored its original name. To distinguish Kung Ye's state from Wang Kon's state, later historians call this state Later Goguryeo (Hugoguryeo) or Taebong, its final name. History Taebong was established with the support of the rebellious nobles of Goguryeo origin. According to legend, Kung Ye was a son of either King Heonan or King Gyeongmun of Silla. A soothsayer prophesied that the newborn baby would bring disaster to Silla state, so the king ordered his servants to kill him. However, his ...

Gyeongae Of Silla
Gyeongae (died 927), personal name Pak Wi-ŭng, was the 55th ruler of the Korean kingdom of Silla. Biography He was the son of King Sindeok by Queen Uiseong, and was the younger brother of King Gyeongmyeong, who preceded him to the throne. Gyeongae ascended the Silla throne in the midst of the Later Three Kingdoms period, and thus ruled over only a small portion of what had once been Unified Silla. He attempted to make common cause with Taejo of Goryeo, against Later Baekje such as sending troops to jointly fight against them, but this only provoked retaliation from Later Baekje. In the end, even that last remnant of Silla was overwhelmed by Later Baekje forces under Kyŏn Hwŏn. When Kyŏn Hwŏn's army sacked Gyeongju in 927, they found Gyeongae partying at the Poseokjeong pavilion. The king was captured by the army of Later Baekje, but killed himself rather than surrender. Kyŏn Hwŏn set Gyeongsun on the throne in his stead, and returned to the west. King Gyeongae ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jindo (island)
Jindo () is the third largest island in South Korea. Together with a group of much smaller islands, it forms Jindo County. It is located in South Jeolla province, just off the southwest corner of the Korean peninsula. The island is separated from the mainland by the Myeongnyang Strait; however, this strait is now spanned by South Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge spanning 484 meters. Here in 1597 admiral Yi Sun-sin won the Battle of Myeongnyang, defeating a vastly superior Japanese fleet. Every year, on a variable day in the spring or summer, a narrow land pass (about 2.9 km long and up to 40 meters wide) opens for about an hour between the main Jindo Island and small Modo island as a result of tidal activity. This event attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists and is accompanied by local festivals. History The island was known and inhabited since prehistoric time. In 995, it was called Haeyangdo, and later renamed to Okju county and became one of the 14 Korean st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
