后金时期满族与朝鲜的贸易

On the Trade Relation between Manchu and Korea in the Late Jin Dynasty

在满族兴起的历史进程中,对外贸易占有十分重要的位置。天聪元年(1627)皇太极派阿敏出征朝鲜,强迫朝鲜与后金结成"平壤之盟",其重要目的就是建立起与朝鲜的贸易关系。满族商人前往朝鲜王京进行互市,交易到大批急需的各种物资,朝鲜商人也从贸易中赚得丰厚利润。后金与朝鲜的边境贸易虽然并不理想,却为后来两国边民的定期友好互市创造了条件。

Foreign trade played an important role in the course of Manchu rising. In 1627, Abahai sent Amin to conquer Korea and forced the latter to sign the Ryugyong Treaty whose aim was to build the trade relation with Korea. The bilateral trade benefited both sides by exchanging needed commodities. Although the border trade was not very promising, it paved the way for the later regular mutual trade between the two countries.
