고려말 박위(朴葳)의 생애와 군사·정치 활동

Abstract

Park We is the progenitor of the Milseong Park clan Jeongguk faction, and his birth year is unknown. It was confirmed that Park We started his post as Udalchi at the late Goryeo, served as the chief of four regions, and served four times as a military officer in the southern provinces. He was also the person who led the construction of the fortress as an alternative solution during the period when Japanese invasions did not cease. By quickly reading the characteristics of the region and the flow of the times, he was well aware of the importance and necessity of the fortress. The fact that Park We served as the head of the Gyeongsangdo region and supervised the 4 constructions of the fortifications is the part that shows a big difference from the heads of other regions. In 1388, when the conquest of Yodong began, Park We went to the head of Gyeongsangdo Sangweonsu, and joined the Wihwadohoe army in agreement with Lee Seong-gye. At the late Goryeothe period, the first conquest of Daema-do was carried out by Park We. The conquest of Daema-do is of great significance as it was the first active response of Goryeo in about 40 years after the invasion of the Japanese in the year of Gyeongin (1350). After that, Park We raised King Gongyang to the throne of the dynasty and rose to a meritorious retainerthe, he was involved in the Kim Jong-yeon conspiracy and became the target of purges, and in 1390 he was exiled to Pungju. Park We’s exile was a result of his political inclinations not being revealed, and it could be said that it meant a confrontation between Lee Seong-gye, who believed that he shared the same thoughts with Park We, and the forces that had no choice but to weigh Park We’s political views. After the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, in 1393, Park We was reinstated into politics, but the following year, he was sacked after being involved again in a conspiracy of the Wang clan. After that, there is no record of Park We’s actions for three years. Park We, who was impeached for his involvement in political events even though he rose to a meritorious retainerthe, must have had great conflicts with his activities in politics. In 1398, Park We was reinstated to Chamchanmunhabusa and seemed to be recovering from his political activities, but he died in the first prince’s rebellion in Lee Bang-won in the same year. Park We was not a person who led a faction or actively established his position by putting his political views at the fore. It is not known whether the process of being impeached for being involved in an unsavory incident is true, but it seems certain that Lee Seong-gye and his soldiers returned from Wihwado and shared the will to establish a new dynasty. As a military officer who served as a high-ranking officer at the late Goryeo, he took the lead in the Japanese subjugation and made a major achievement, but his life came to an unfortunate end. This thesis restores the life and activities of Park We as a whole and intends to conduct an in-depth study on the construction of fortresses and the conquest of Daema-do among the activities that were focused on as an alternative to the Japanese subjugation. In particular, by tracing and examining the background and process of the construction of the fortress, it is intended to re-evaluate his appearance as a military commander in relation to the military activities of Park We.
