明朝首辅赵志皋与万历明日和议

Cabinet Primary Auxiliary Zhao Zhigao and the Peace Negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and Japan in the Wanli Period

万历二十年(1592)四月,日本丰臣秀吉发动侵略朝鲜之战,史称"壬辰战争"。朝鲜向明朝求救后,明朝军队远征援助朝鲜。明朝援军败于碧蹄馆之战后,开始明日和议。以往有关问题的学术研究,普遍认为时任兵部尚书的石星是和议的主谋,然而从整个和议事件的经过来看,首辅赵志皋在和议中起到了重要的推动作用,是册封事件中的关键人物,却在以往研究中被忽视。因此从史料中考察赵志皋推动和议的过程,探索其推动明日和议的原因具有重要意义。

In April 1952（Wanli 20th）, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent troops to invade the Joseon Dynasty which called ＂The East Asian War（1592-1598）＂ .After the Joseon Dynasty asked the Ming Dynasty for help, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue the Joseon Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty troops failed in Biti Museum, then started the negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and Japan. According to the previous academic researches on relevant issues, Shi Xing （the Minister of war） was considered as the mastermind of the negotiations. However, from the whole event, the Prime Minister Zhao Zhigao, who was a key figure and played an important role in the negotiation between Japan and the Ming Dynasty, had been ignored in previous studies. It is of great significance to explore how Zhao zhigao promoted the negotiation and the reasons why he chose to promote the negotiation from the historical data.
