Enriquillo vs Myocheong

Enriquillo organized and led a rebellion of Taino people against Spanish colonial rule in the Bahoruco Mountains of Hispaniola. The rebellion lasted 14 years, with Enriquillo using guerrilla tactics to resist Spanish attempts to suppress the uprising.

After 14 years of rebellion, Enriquillo negotiated a peace treaty with Spanish authorities. The treaty granted the Taino rebels land and freedom from forced labor, though it required them to settle in a designated area. This was a rare negotiated settlement in the Spanish colonies.

As part of the peace agreement, Enriquillo received a royal pardon from the Spanish crown. He was granted the title of 'Don' and allowed to govern his community, though under Spanish oversight. This marked the end of his armed resistance.

Myocheong proposed to King Injong that the capital be moved from Gaegyeong to Seogyeong, citing geomantic advantages and the need to counter Jurchen influence. The proposal gained royal favor but was opposed by Confucian officials led by Kim Bu-sik.

Buddhist monk Myocheong led a rebellion against King Injong, advocating the move of the capital from Gaegyeong to Seogyeong (Pyongyang). The rebellion was suppressed by General Kim Bu-sik after a year of fighting, and Myocheong was killed.

After the rebellion began, Myocheong established a rival government in Seogyeong, declaring a new era name and appointing officials. This parallel administration challenged the legitimacy of the Goryeo court in Gaegyeong.
