Ch'oe Myonggil was a Korean scholar-official who successfully argued for peace negotiations with the [[Qing Dynasty|Qing]] ([[Manchus]]) in [[1637]], and who participated in drafting the peace treaty, marking the end of the [[Second Manchu invasion of Korea]].

Over the next several years, until the fall of the [[Ming Dynasty]] to Qing forces in [[1644]], he worked actively to convey intelligence about the Qing to the Ming Court.
