It took a great deal of effort from the Minister of the Central Dynasty to the commander of the army, from the grain distribution to the lead of the army to go on the expedition. At last, it gave Japan a heavy blow and saved Korea from the fall. It also proved the unshakable dominance of the Ming Dynasty in the East Asian Circle at that time.
This paper first discusses the source of grain supply, through analysis can be found that the vast majority of grain through the land from Shandong to Liaodong and then pull up Korea; or the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal transport, first to Tianjin coast, and then to Korea. Therefore, Shandong's strategic position is indispensable. Secondly, this paper discusses the transport and shortage of grain. The author will discuss the process and dilemma of transport to Korea from land, sea and even other alternatives, as well as the arrangement and views of the donors on grain rates.
