ABSTRACT

In this paper, the change of the capital city castle defense system by the process of Musin(戊申)-Revolt is examined, along with the unification of the military power for royal authority reinforcement by King Yeongjo and the decentralization issue, which involved a change in the military strategy book. Specifically, in the process of the Musin(戊申)-Revolt, the background of the enforcement of cavalrymen in connection with the city wall defense system was investigated in depth by analyzing the form of the royal forces’ organization for suppressing rebellion and the form of the strategy used at the time. The publishing of the military book is examined, which involved an interrelationship between the royal forces and Ouije(五衛制), the military system that was formerly part of the Joseon Dynasty. For example, in the change of the defense system for the capital city castle Samgunmun(三軍門), the evidence suggests that the transformation led to the establishment of the Yonghoyoung(龍虎營), which was the palace guard for confronting rebellion. Additionally, whether the strong military takeover by Ouije(五衛制) had an effect on the change of the military training in the King Yeongjo period is analyzed with respect to the republishing of 『Jinbup(陣法), 『Byeongjangdosul(兵將圖說), and 『Sogbyeongjangdosul (續兵將圖說). The findings suggest that the settlement of the restoration of the former period in the Joseon Ouije(五衛制) was directly connected to the reinforcement of the cavalry for King Yeongjo.
