Abstract

This paper reviewed the dispatch of HaedapkyomSuihwansa (Reply and Prisoner Repatriation Envoy) in 1624, from the perspective of the management of state affairs in both Joseon and Japan, and the following conclusions were reached. First, the core countmeasure against the Hugeum Dynasty, which was established in October 1623, after the ascension of King Injo, was to move the southern troops to the northwest, which was not until after September 1625 that this countmeasure was carried out on the conclusive occasion of the return report of HaedapkyomSuihwansa in March 1625. HaedapkyomSuihwansa, as a result of scouting Japan under the special instruction of King Injo, had found that the real meaning of Japan's requests for Chosun Tongshinsa was aimed at reducing the risk burden caused by the turmoil of Anti-Tokugawa Daimyo. As a result, Joseon was able to confirm that Tokugawa Bakuhu were not likely to invade Joseon by mobilizing military force, putting an end to the controversy over the troop movement and was able to implement the Hugeum countermeasures. Second, after reviewing King Injo's sovereign message before the revision, it included that the dispatch of envoys to Japan's congratulations and condolences ceremonies was a matter of permission from the Ming Dynasty, which succeeded King Seonjo and Gwanghaegun's policy of diplomatic relations with Japan. It could be seen that it was an ad hoc measure in the security situation where the Hugeum countermeasures was urgently needed. Third, regardless of before and after the time of Tsushima-Han's revision, the reply letter from Bakuhu Shogun, said it was written in such a way that Joseon "voluntarily" dispatched HaedapkyomSuihwansa upon hearing the ascension of Shogun Iemitz. This reflected the political intention to calm down the anti-Tokugawa Daimyo through the international recognition process of congratulating the neighboring country's diplomatic envoy on the new Shogun's ascension. On the other hand, it pointed out that the attempt to make the dispatch of Joseon envoys as voluntary in order to make the last Bakuhu regime a hereditary regime from the HaedapkyomSuihwansa in 1624, to the Gyemi-Tongshinsa to celebrate of Iemitz's son's birth in 1643, and Eulmi-Tongshinsa to celebrate of the ascension of Shogun Ietsuna in 1655.
