朝鮮後期 淸州兵營의 군사조직과 재정구조

Abstract

After the Japanese invasions of Korea and the second Manchu invasion of Korea, the local military system was reorganized into a Jinyeong system. In Chungcheong-do, the local army was organized into the five Jinyeong under the main military camp. These military organization and defense system in Chungcheong-do were established to enhance the inland security of Chungcheong-do and security of the outskirts of the capital. The Cheongju Byeongyeong army was roughly divided into the troops under the direct control of generals of the headquarters and troops belonging to Sangdnag Sanseong. Observing the military organizations based on the chain of command in the military barracks and the presence or absence of payment, only more than 500 superior officers received payment among 4,245 actual soldiers in military service. In the late Jeseon period, the official financial resources perceived by the central government were Daedong-mi, emergency rice, and financial resources transferred from provinces belonging to Cheongju. Most of these financial resources were spent on soldiers’ payment. However, because the payment for labor service and reduction of collection of linen and cotton as taxes had not been properly paid since Tax Equalization Law, it became necessary to secure other financial resources: utilization of loaned grain out of relief grain, exchange for the exemption of census, and taxation from provinces belonging to Cheongju.
