鄭世規의 패전을 소재로 한 병자호란 서사의 재구성 양상

Abstract

The Manchu War was a strange war in many ways, but the post-war process was especially so. There were attempts to free King Injo, who was isolated in Namhansanseong Fortress, from the siege, but none were successful. High-ranking officials who died in the process received rewards, and generals who survived despite losing the battle received large and small punishments. Jeong Se-gyu, who survived despite suffering a crushing defeat, showed an exceptional performance by being recognized for his defeat and advancing to a high-ranking position. It received relatively good reviews primarily because of the political faction to which Jeong Se-gyu belonged. King Injo’s intention was to escape responsibility for the defeat in the Manchu War and use this as an opportunity to strengthen his power. In addition, it is also the result of the desire of noblemen to prove their loyalty with the logic of ‘participating in King Geun-wang’s army’ and to gain realistic benefits by becoming recipients of veterans. We traced these complex aspects by looking at a variety of historical materials, personal practical data, and descendants' memorial records written against the background of the Manchu War.
