17~18세기 안흥진 운영의 제도화 과정과 한계

Abstract

For the defense of coastal areas, naval bases were set up in important areas in the late Joseon Period. Anheungjin was located on Jowoon-gil and operated as a naval base due to geographical location conditions for the defense of Ganghwa Island coast. But since the 17th century, Anheung-jin has been looking for a system suitable for its status. Anheung-jin was unable to find the location amid the formation of Ganghwado Island's defense hub and Chungcheong naval base. It became the defensive camp of Taean County, where Anheungjin belonged, but it only caused conflicts between Anheung and Taean. Anheung-jin's role and function have grown over time due to his geopolitical position. But it failed to assign such a role to Anheung-jin, the unit's chief. Promoting a unit commander was the best strategy, but the Joseon government did not. The conditions needed to be met before the system could be improved to promote the unit commander. However, Anheung-jin could not overcome the topographical limitations. The Joseon government knew that Anheung-jin was a very important geopolitical location, but Anheung-jin's limits were too clear to handle it.
