임진전쟁 초기 선조의 전쟁인식과 播遷논쟁

Abstract

The Imjin War was a historical event that changed the international order of East Asia and the development of history in Korea, China, and Japan in the late 16th century. In order to analyze the historical significance of the Imjin War, it is essential to study the understanding of War and War command of the King Seonjo of the Joseon. When the Imjin War, which was an unprecedented international war, broke out, the King Seonjo recognized that they had prepared for war in advance, and in the early days implemented the traditional method of war command. However, the war situation was not quickly reported to the king, and the report was poor, so it was not possible to effectively command the war. In the absence of accurate information on the invading force's troops and war command, the King Seonjo unilaterally abolished a capital city saber theory and decided to wandering in a distant land, which had many political and military risks. Faced with opposition from his officials, King Seonjo accepted the crowning of the prince demanded by his officials. In the Joseon Dynasty, which was then a dynastic state, crowning of the prince had to be carefully carried out as a very important political act. Nevertheless, war was decided very quickly in a crisis situation and became the cause of future political conflict. King Seonjo had a very embarrassing experience as a king through the wandering in a distant land process from Hanyang to Kaesong. King Seonjo, who lost his authority as king, left Hanyang and arrived in Kaesong, and faced responsibility debate of wandering in a distant land. King Seonjo, who was well aware that wandering in a distant land's final responsibility lies with him, was passive in his responsibility debate of wandering in a distant land. When the Imjin River defense line collapsed, King Seonjo moved to Pyongyangand Uiju and strongly demanded the dispatch of Ming troops.
