Abstract

This study's purpose is to investigate the role of Kim Seong-il as a governor of Gyeongsang-u-do in the 1st Jinjuseong battle. As you know, the Jinjuseong battle is known as a great victory of war in which people like Jinju minister, Kim Si-min spread the bloody battle and kept the Jinjuseong. At that time, Kim Seong-il led the battle to victory by directing people like Kim si-min as a governor of Gyeongsang-u-do Province. Kim Seong-il, who was acting as Choyusa, was appointed to the governor of Gyeongsang Jwa-do and stepped down from the Choyusa's office and left for a while. Then, Kim Seong-il was appointed again as an governor of Gyeongsang-u-do. In the meantime, the forces stationed in Gaeryung and Sungju area threatened the Geochang area, and at the same time, Japanese invaders attacked the Jinju area from Busan and Changwon area. Kim Seong-il, who was appointed to the governor of Gyeongsang-u-do, played a major role in maintaining the Jinjuseong with excellent ability and tactical management as the best commander. Kim Seong-il established the defense tactic system of castle centered on the government forces with Jinju minister, Kim si-min as the main axis and he deployed government forces and righteous armies on the outskirts of Jinjuseong to make them rescue, and strengthened the Jinjuseong defense by operating a strategy that allowed them to attack the Jinjuseong. In addition, Kim Seong-il induced the best battle and weakened the power of attack of Japanese invaders about Jinjuseong, and relieved the burden of soldiers guarding the Jinjuseong. In addition, he provided supplies of arrows and other materials to the surrounded Jinjuseong, thereby maintained the combat power and enhanced the morale of the military. Immediately after the Jinjuseong battle, he ran to Samga to cope with the Japanese invaders coming from the direction of Geochang and he blocked the Japanese invaders along with the patriotic army leader Kim Myeon and Jeong In-hong with leading the government forces in the surrounding area. Since then, the patriotic army leader Kim Myeon and Jeong In-hong and others have continuously attacked the Japanese invaders of Sungju and Gaeryung area together with Choi Gyong-hoi and Im Gye-yeong, and finally restored Sungju and Gaeryung areas in February of the following year. In this case, Kim Seong-il's role as governor seems to have played a major role. In conclusion, the victory of the Jinjuseong battle was the result of Kim Seong-il's strategy, which was the supreme commander of Gyeongsang-u-do, and the exquisite tactical operation of Kim Si-min, who was the general guarding the Jinjuseong, and the best battle of the various generals and soldiers who took part in the battle in every battle. The victory in the Jinjuseong battle saved the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Jinjuseong by keeping Jinjuseong, prevented Gyeongsang-u-do into the hands of Japanese invaders, and furthermore, it was able to block the way in which the Japanese invaders could advance into Honam.
