Qinhe

Qinghe lay in Liaodong, on the historical routes east of Liaoyang. Qinghe Fort near Benxi was a Ming defensive position on the approaches between Liaoyang, Shenyang and Fushun. In 1618 forces of Nurhaci's Later Jin attacked and captured Qinghe Fort after taking Fushun; the Ming commander Zou Chuxian died in the fighting. The loss of these positions formed part of the widening war over Liaodong.
