    Prince Amin led a Later Jin invasion of Joseon in early 1627, concluding after three months with Later Jin establishing sovereign tributary overlordship.

Background and detail

Diplomatic Outcome. The war ended after three months with Later Jin establishing itself as the sovereign tributary overlord of Joseon. Despite this, Joseon continued its relationship with the Ming and displayed defiance in solidifying the new tributary relationship with Later Jin.

Domestic Reaction. Joseon statesmen and Confucian scholars bitterly resented the invasion, viewing the abandonment of the Ming as treacherous and unfilial. The relationship between Joseon and Later Jin remained uncomfortable and bleak, with Later Jin leaders complaining that Koreans did not abide by the agreement's terms.
