Manchu Conquest




In 1618 , Nurhaci announced his Seven Grievances (Ma. ''nadan koro''; Chinese ''qi da hen'' 七大恨), effectively declaring War against the Ming Dynasty , and starting the Manchu conquest. His troops forced their way into Fushun and obtained the surrender of the city's commander Li Yongfang (d. 1634 ).

In retaliation, a year later, a Ming punitive force of about 100,000 men, which included Korea n and Yehe troops, approached Nurhaci's Manchus along four different routes. After scoring successive victories, the most famous one near the town of Sarhu , the Manchus went on to seize the rest of China, effectively toppling the Ming dynasty.
