However, Japan's trade with China and the southern countries, passing through the port of Ningbo, was prohibited by the Chinese government due to the arrogant robbery of Japanese merchants. In addition, despite repeated warnings, Japanese merchants continued to atrocities and looting in the ports of Busan, Nyaipho, and Rempo (now the port of Ursan), through which trade with Japan was carried out, and the then ruling dynasty was forced to almost completely cease trade with Japan.
