금산 백령성의 축조와 운영 주체

Abstract

The Baekryeong Fortress in Geumsan can be relatively clearly dated in terms of its construction and management periods through the inscriptions on the ceramic roof tiles. Additionally, the scholarly value of this site is significantly enhanced by the inscriptions related to the regional names and the production of tiles, which provide insights into the tile manufacturing and supply relationships. The inscriptions found on the ceramic roof tiles from the Baekryeong Fortress, namely ‘Bingchen’, ‘Dingsi’, and ‘Wuwu’, suggest a high likelihood of corresponding to the years 596, 597, and 598, specifically during the 43rd, 44th, and 45th years of King Wideok's reign, based on a comparative analysis with the political circumstances of the Sabi period. However, it is possible that the structural components of the fortress were constructed earlier than the internal facilities. The period when Silla exerted significant pressure on the Geumsan area followed the defeat at Gwanseong. In the 26th year of King Wideok's reign, Unghyeonseong and Songsulseong were constructed in the direction of Chupungnyeongro. Therefore, it is likely that the Baekryeong Fortress was built around the time of the defeat at the Battle of Gwanseong and the subsequent constructions of Unghyeonseong and Songsulseong, around 579 (the 26th year of King Wideok's reign), and it can be inferred that it contracted at the end of King Wideok’s reign. The issue of management regarding the Baekryeong Fortress can be examined through the administrative district in which the fortress is located and the mobilization system for its construction. It is noted that in Baekje, construction projects were managed at a ‘military’ level that transcended the individual fortress units. Given its geographical accessibility, it can be inferred that the Baekryeong Fortress was constructed by mobilizing the local population arranged in the Jiningeul-gun unit county region. organized under the administration of the central government. Although Baekje's military system was organized around local administrative districts and governors, the Geumsan area during the Sabi period formed a border zone with Silla, which likely hindered the normal operation of the military mobilization system. In contrast, it has been confirmed that the Baekryeong Fortress was fortified at the same time as Jinsanseong and Heukseokdongsanseong, which were part of the Huangdeung Yasan-gun. This suggests that, from a military perspective, it was likely integrated into the command system of the Huangdeung Yasan-gun, which belonged to the Eastern Region. Therefore, it is highly probable that the troops stationed at Baekryeong Fortress were part of the standing army affiliated with Huangdeung Yasan-gun and organized under the command structure of the Eastern Region, indicating that the commander was also likely integrated into the command system of the Eastern Region.
