一、由来已久的日本征韩野心在欧美列强来到东北亚之前的14至16世纪,日本倭寇就开始了劫掠中国和朝鲜沿海地区的活动。1592-1598年,日本军阀丰臣秀吉侵略朝鲜,中国出兵援朝,前后凡七年,丧师数十万,糜饷数百万,终于获胜。战后中日恢复通商关系。朝鲜与中国保持宗藩关系,称朝中外交为“事大”;与日本则建立“通信”关系,称朝日外交为“交邦”。 I. The long-awaited Japan’s ambition to seek South Korea The Japanese pirates began activities to grab China’s and North Korea’s coastal areas from the 14th to the 16th centuries before the European and American powers came to Northeast Asia. From 1592 to 1598, Japanese warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded North Korea. China sent troops to aid the DPRK. For seven years, the Japanese militarist had killed hundreds of thousands of people and won millions of votes and finally won. Postwar Sino-Japanese relations restored. North Korea and China maintain their vassal relations, saying that they are “big things” in their diplomatic ties with China while establishing “foreign relations” with Japan, calling North Korea and Japan diplomatic “diplomatic ties.”
