明朝、高丽的贡马之争与明丽关系

Dispute about Horse of Tribute and Relationship between Ming Dynasty and Gaoli Country

明朝初年,由于战事频仍,战马消耗甚大,特别是岭北之战后,明军骑兵主力损失殆尽,明朝急需大批优质的战马充实战备。为此,朱元璋向高丽提出了贡马的要求。高丽基于元丽关系及自身战略安全的考虑,总是虚与委蛇,双方因贡马之争引发了明丽关系的外交风波。

In the early Ming Dynasty,because of the frequent wars,there was great demand for horses.Especially after the Lingbei War,the main force of the cavalry unit had suffered heavy losses,and large numbers of fine horses were in badly need to enrich the war preparedness.Zhu Yuanzhang asked Gaoliforhorsetribute.Gaoli dealt with Zhu Yuanzhang courteously but without sincerity,just for fear of the relationship between them and the security of its own,so the diplomatic disturbance between Ming Dynasty and Gaoli brought about owe to the conflict of the horse tribute.
