1728년 湖南 戊申亂의 전개양상과 叛亂軍의 성격

Abstract

The 1728 Honam Mushin revolt can be defined as the coup some officials from radical Soron who got ousted from the central government positions after the factional strife staged along with people of various classes including the governor of Jeolla and local officials in Taein, Mujang, Jeongeup and Suncheon, Namin in Honam region, and the wealthy ruling classes in Honam region who failed to enter government service. However, the revolt ended up achieving little, compared with the one in the Hoseo region which occupied a military fortress and the one in Yeongnam region that occupied several counties and prefectures. That was because of the failure in winning the support from the government forces and the weak bond among rebel forces in Honam which led the Na family of Naju and groups in Gobu that had promised to join the revolt to choose not to participate the revolt. Furthermore, the failure to muster an army in the Honam Mushin revolt made it impossible for those who led the revolt to cooperate with those who led the revolt in Hoseo region. As a result, the 1728 Mushin revolt ended in failure. The study examined the features of rebel forces in Honam. To begin with, those who led the revolt in Honam including Park Pil-hyeon, as the members of radical Soron, participated in the revolt to recapture the power after being ousted from the central government. Second, the members of the Na family of Naju such as Na Sung-dae and Na Man-chi, wealthy Namin in Naju, participated in the revolt because of their political position characterized by their ancestors' involvement in the accusations of high treason in 1589 and their kinship with those who led the revolt including Lee In-jwa. Third, unlike the ruling classes in Naju, some people from groups of Gobu like Kim Su-jong, the ruling class in Buan, did not belong to a certain political party, but they were the wealthy ruling classes living in areas where people had few chances to hold a post in the central government. It seems that the rebel forces accepted Park Pil-hyeon's request to participate the revolt in the hope of holding posts in the central government.
