yon'gu," p. I84.


  1. The detailed description of sog'o organization up to and including battalions is for
    the Haeju area in I595, see Sonju sillok 65:r8a, Sonjo 28.7.kyongjin, cited in Han'guk
    kunjesa 2:29, 33 n. 59. The figures for Kyonggi Province are from ibid. 2:32, which is
    based on Yu Songnyong, "Kunmun tungnok" (Record of the military establishment) in
    Chinghirok I 5: r a-3b; "I Kyonggi Sunch'alsa mun" [Message sent to the mobile inspec-
    tor of Kyonggi Province, a post held concurrently by the provincial governor] in ibid.
    I5:3b-4b; "Pyon'o sam ok" [Regulations for military organization] in ibid. I5:I8a-20b.
    See Songgyun'gwan ed. (I958):688-90, 696-97. See also the section on sog'o, Soae
    munjip I4:5b-6b, p. 240.
    The number of regiments per province evidently varied. According to the Soktaejon
    [Dynastic code, continued] of 1746, Kangwon Province had only three, while four
    provinces had six, and Pyong'an had nine. Han 'guk kunjesa 2:33, n.60. For an extensive
    discussion of the composition of the Kyonggi and other provincial regiments, see Ch'a
    Munsop, "Sog'ogun yon'gu," pp. I9I-95.
    9 r. The information for this battalion was part of a report dated the fifth month of 1596
    for the regiment (yi5ng) headquartered at the Anju chin' gwan. See Han 'guk kunjesa,
    2:33-35, esp. the table on p. 34. The information derives from the Chin 'gwan kwanbyong
    p'yon'o chankwon [A fragment of the organization of government troops in a chin'-
    gwan]. See also Ch'a Munsop's discussion of the organization in P'yong'an and Anju in
    "Sog'ogun yon'gu," pp. I9I-92.

  3. Pihyon chamnok [Miscellaneous notes on national defense]. in Yu Songnyong,
    Kugyok Sljaejip 2 (Seoul: Minjok munhwa ch'ujinhoe, I977):46-47 of the original Han-
    mun (classical Chinese) portion of the text. I am indebted to Yi Kyomju, the author of the
    section of Han 'guk kunjesa 2:35-36, for discovering these ideas in Yu Songnyong's works.

  4. Directive to the Sunch'alsa and Pyongsa ofP'yong'an Province, "Kunmun tiingnok,"
    in the Chingbirok, I6: I3b-I4b, Songgyun'gwan ed. (I959):7I4; "Pibyon chamnok," in

    ity in attending to rebuilding of the army.

I. The names of some of the factions have nothing to do with regional loyalties.
