简述:明朝军队将蒙古人赶回到了他们原来的驻地,然后蜂拥至中亚地区并占领了自汉朝以来一直是中国的省府的地域。
Only in the 15th century, the Ming armies suffered a throwback by the joined troops of Mongols, Oirats, and uTartarsIn the Northeast the Ming troops occupied Manchuria, and the Korean kingdom (Choson) of the Li Dynasty could be forced to accept the nominal supremacy of the Ming Dynasty.
仅在15世纪中期,明朝军队就遭遇到由蒙古人、瓦剌人和鞑靼人的联合军队的阻击。在中国东北地区,明朝军队占领了满族人的居住地和朝鲜王国,当时朝鲜被迫接受了明朝名义上的统治。
