초록

The Dae’han Empire(大韓帝國) was faced with diplomatic conflicts affected by the Quelling War of the Yihetuan Movement(義和團運動) after 1899. To make it worse, the Dae’han Empire’s internal security was endangered after a series of severe bandit(火賊) attacks. As a way of trying to find a solution to domestic and foreign problems, the Dae’han imperial government pushed forward with organizing additional troops of Jin’wi-dae(鎭衛隊), rather than the Central armies(中央軍).
The rapid expansion of Jin’wi-dae(鎭衛隊) forced the government to implement increased military spending. The percentage of total military budget soared to about a third of the entire governmental spending. The largest part of the increased defence budget was because of Jin’wi-dae(鎭衛隊), used in expenditure on salary, food and clothing for Jin’wi-dae(鎭衛隊)-affiliated soldiers.
The Financial Department(度支部) issued an order named “Oe-hwek(外劃),” which meant the central government devolved(delegated) tax-raising powers to the authorities of Jin’wi-dae(鎭衛隊). This devolution to Jin’wi-dae(鎭衛隊) caused nation-wide chaos, like encouraging regional authorities(郡) to evade payment of taxes. In some cases, the conflicts between the regional authorities(郡) and Jin’wi-dae(鎭衛隊) led to illegal collection of taxes through military forces.
Such unstable situations in the regions forced the Financial Department to employ a new policy named “Yeongjeong-gun(永定郡),” which meant designating some regions for alloted taxation for the Jin’wi-dae(鎭衛隊). However, this new system led to more confusion, like outbreaks of widespread looting by the Jin’wi-dae(鎭衛隊)-affiliated soldiers.
In the end, despite all these measures the taxation system for Jin’wi-dae(鎭衛隊) never returned to normal until the fall of the Dae’han Empire. The government failed to respond more effectively to running new forces. With the expedient measures of the Financial Department(度支部), which resulted in unexpectable interferences by the military, the vulnerable financial system of the Dae’han empire became even worse.
