A widespread debate over the merits of conquering the North(北伐, Pukpeolron) emerged within Choseon society following the second Manchu Invasion of 1636(丙子胡亂, Pyeongja horan). Having ascended the throne amidst such circumstances, King Hyojong(孝宗) set about on a course of implementing the plans to conquer the North which he had first drawn up during his tenure as Crown Prince. In terms of his basic strategy, he adopted a stance that revolved around the initiation of an attack on Manchuria designed to sow internal chaos in Qing. In order to acquire the weaponry he would need to conquer the North, Hyojong undertook the reorganization and strengthening of the central military system; to this end, he carried out such measures as the strengthening of the Command of the Southern Approaches (守禦廳, Sueochong), the reorganization of the Royal Guards Command (御營廳, Eoyeongcheong), the establishment of the Mabyeoldae(馬別隊) and Pyeolpajin (別破陣), expansion of the Capital Army (Keumgun, 禁軍), and the increase of the Military Training Command (Hullyontogam, 訓練都監). In addition, measures such as the implementation of the military mobilization system, increase of military preparations along Kanghwa(江華) Island, and the reenlisting of slaves were also implemented. Meanwhile, Hyojong ensured a steady supply of finances for his military endeavors by implementing the Uniform Land Tax Law(大同法, Taedongbeop). However, as Hyojongs pukpeol policy was implemented solely with the support of the royal authority and forces friendly to the throne, and without the approval of the major political factions, his policy came in for severe criticism. The natural disasters which occurred during the process of increasing military readiness caused Hyojong to relinquish his leading role in politics during the latter period of his reign. This in turn, provided the rustic literati (sallim, 山林) faction with the opportunity to reenter politics. However, the pukpol policy put in place by the sallim branch of the Westerner (Seoin, 西人) faction, which drew its legitimacy from its links to the Zhou dynasty, differed from the Pukpeolron adopted by Hyojong. Thereafter, the pukpeolron reemerged during the outbreak of the Revolt of the Three Feudatories in China during the reigns of King Hyojong and Sukchong(肅宗), only this time it was led by a man by the name of Yun Hyu(尹鑴). However, Yun Hyu’s version of the pukpeolron was never put into practice due to strong objections by Heo Cheok(許積), and it was abandoned altogether when the Revolt of the Three Feudatories was eventually suppressed.
