정조 대 전경무신(專經武臣) 제도의 운영 연구

Abstract

This study examined the operation of “Jeongyung-Mooshin(專經武臣)” policy during Jeong-jo (正祖)'s regime. It tried to understand the characteristics and the meaning of this policy. Jeong-jo tried to actively operate the policy in the direction of increasing the effectiveness based on the Yeong-jo (英祖)’s regulation. The characteristics of the operation are as follows. It was conducted periodically four times a year, which was for enhancing education regarding the Seven Military Classics(武經七書) for military officials. The procedures were also done in accordance with the way Yeong-jo has done and were listed in the Code of Law, Daejeontongpyeon(大典通編), 1785, the ninth year of Jeong-jo’s reign. Jeong-jo actively managed Jeon’gang (殿講) performed directly by the king, all the time. He strictly managed the test results for ensuring that the policy was operated effectively. Those who failed the test were retested in order to check the level of learning. Punishment was imposed according to the grades. Meanwhile, promotion benefits were given if the performers were outstanding. The expansion of the king's discretion was to increase the effectiveness of the system operation. It shows the characteristics of in-service education for the military officials during Jeong-jo's regime.
