    inspectors of medicine (Simyak), legal experts (Komnyul), post-station clerk (Yoksung),
    and ferry-station official (Tosung). In 1744 the inspector of medicine had been elimi-
    nated, and by 1788 the pharmacist was removed. The post-station clerks were promoted
    to Ch'albang, and ferry-station officials were replaced by special officers (Py5lehang)
    under the Ministry of War. Chosen Sotokufu Chusuin, ed., Soktaejr'in (Keijo: Chosen

    commander (one for the Left and Right Provinces), Kyongsang had second army and
    navy commanders: P'y(mg'an had no navy commander and an extra army commander
    for the north and south subprovinces: HamgYlmg had a second army commander: Kangw5n
    and Hwanghae had neither army or navy commanders, until an army commander was
    established in Hwanghae during Hideyoshi's invasion. Furthermore, a navy commander
    was given the concurrent post of navy commander for the southern three provinces (T'ong-
    jesa) retained since its creation during Hideyoshi 's invasion. Thus, provinces that did not
    separate army or navy commanders were directed by the provincial governor. Yu had no
    objection to raise to varying the number of provincial military commanders according
    to the perceived need for defense.

  10. Yu cited the remarks of Chang Chiu-ling in 714 to Emperor Hsiian-tsung that there
    were hardly any talented men in the posts of prefects or district magistrates because most
    of them had obtained office primarily because of their personal connections. Most offi-
    cials regarded magistrate posts as tantamount to exile from the capital, and the soldiers
    and irregular officials who were appointed to them used their positions to accumulate
    time-in-grade. This system was totally contrary to the Chou praclicc of rccruiting mag-
    istrates for central government office and sending the best officials in the capital to take
    over magistrates' positions. Ihid. 14: 17b-19a.
