This research aims to identify and organize the results of the previous research on the periodicity of Ulleungdo investigation and subjugation (搜討) during the late Choseon dynasty. Additionally, it aims to verify the changes in the patterns in dispatching investigators to confirm the periodicity, using precious historical records and research to examine the frequency of inspections during the late Choseon period. Further, this study attempts to analyze inspection and subjugation policy’s trend and features.
The following are this research’s results. First, during the initial period following the implementation of the inspection policy, 1694–1744, the inspection was conducted once every three years. Following this, between 1745 and 1887, the inspection was conducted once every two years, and from 1888 to 1894, it was conducted once a year. Second, the circular inspection by the Samcheok Military Camp Chief and Wolsong-manho Director was carried out from 1694 to 1881; however, the unilateral inspection was conducted by either the Wolsong-manho Director or Pyeonghae District Mayor. Third, the port of departure for the Ulleungdo inspection by Samcheok Military Camp Chief changed from the Samcheok Jung-ra port and Jangori-jin to Jukbyeon-jin or Uljin-po, which were unified as the Pyeonghae, Gusan-po port by the Wolsong-manho Director during the late 18th century. The port seems to have been changed due to an economic factor—to ease the financial burden of the residents around the port. Moreover, the reason for changing the frequency of the inspection from three years to two or one year seems to be the change in the recognition of the value of Ulleungdo production as an economic factor, and the development of sailing techniques
本研究の目的は、朝鮮後期における鬱陵島捜討の周期性について既存の研究成果を把握して整理することにある。本稿では、朝鮮後期の捜討使派遣の周期性の確立と変化のパターンを、捜討関連史料及び先行研究に基づいて検討し、その定式の背景を考察した。また、捜討政策の推移と様相を総合的に把握した。本研究で明らかになったことは次の通りである。第一に、捜討政策が始まる初期の1694~1744年までは3年1回の捜討、1745~1887年には2年1回の捜討、1888~1894年には毎年捜討が行われた。第二に、三陟営将と月松万戶の輪回捜討は1694~1881年まで実施されたが、その後は月松万戶あるいは平海郡守による単独捜討へと変化した。第三に、三陟営将の鬱陵島捜討の出港地として三陟汀羅港と莊五里津から竹邊津、蔚珍浦へと変化して、18世紀末になると月松万戶の出港地である平海亀山浦に一元化される。これは当時、周辺住民に捜討費用を負担することに比較的容易であった経済的要因に起因するものといえる。また、3年1回の捜討から2年1回の捜討へ、毎年の捜討へと変化したことも鬱陵島産物の価値が大きく認識されたことや、海運技術の発展などの経済的要因による影響であるといえる。
