조선시대 ‘海美邑城’의 축성과 기능변천 - 충청병영성에서 호서좌영으로 -

Abstract

This study is to investigate the historical changes of 'Haemieupsung', the Historic Site No.116 of National designated Cultural Assets. The existing 'Haemieupsung' is a castle of barracks in Choongchung-do, which was built between the late period of King Taejong and the early period of King Sejong in order to make preparation against the invasion of Japanese pirates into Naepo. In the barracks in Haemi in early Joseon, there were one Provincial Army District Commander, one Vice Army District Commander, one Simyak, five commissioned officers, 375 soldiers stayed for defense, dozens of Najangs and Chabiguns, 15 craftsmen, several lower-class public officials, and hundreds of slaves, and public buildings and warehouses with 5~600 compartments. In Chunghuhjeong, which was built in the barracks in the 22th year of King Seongjong (1491) and continued to exist until the mid-eighteenth century, scripts of bureaucrats, poets, and calligraphers of Joseon remained. Meanwhile, Admiral Lee Sunsin worked in the Haemi Barracks as a commissioned officer, and Won Kyun was in office as Choongchung Byungsa. In the second year of King Hyojong (1651), the Choongchung Barracks in Haemi was transferred to Chungjoo, and the old barracks in Haemi became a eupsung as the Chiso (a government office) of Haemihyun was moved into it. However, the Haemieupsung in late Joseon was not a mere Chiso (a government office) but had it own functions and cultural properties different from typical government offices because it was the Hoseojoayong (a government office for Hoseo region) in which the Hyungam (a small country magistrate) of Haemi was the same time Yongjang (the head of a Yong) and Toposa (an office for cathing thieves). The historical changes of Haemieupsung between the early and the late Joseon should be sufficiently considered in the excavation, restoration, and maintenance of, and the use of educational material of 'Haemieupsung'.
