다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We guess there was a town fortress (邑域) is Cheongju (淸州) before the unified Silla (新羅). Is the early years of Joseon dynasty, there was as excellent stoned fortress which was long about 5,000ja (尺, about 2,543m) in Cheongju. Is Cheongju fortress, there were many civil office buildings and the Hesadquarter of the Chungcheong Army (忠淸兵營) is the late period of Joseon dynasty. Those were more than 500khan (間, about 3,750 feet square).
The Headquarter of the Chungcheong Army was originally located in Haemi (海美) near the West Sea (西海) for the defense against Japanese pirates (倭寇). After the invasions of Japanese (壬辰倭亂) and Ch'ing, (丙子胡亂), the importance of Cheongju was emphasised as it was a strategic post located at the intersection of Hoseo (湖西) and Youngnahm (嶺南) areas. As such the Headquarter moved to Cheongju as it was judged advantegeous for protecting the Capitol from rebellion. Accordingly, the official rank (poomgye: 品階) of the supreme commander of Chungcheong army was rasied to Jong 2 Poom (從二品). In the 41st year of King Youngjo's (英祖) reign, the total number of Chungcheong provincial soldiers was increased about 20,000 soldiers comparing with that of 20 years before. So the burden of the military duty was increased too. Due to this, a lot of abuse of the people's duty took place.
Most of the govermors of Chungchong province and the Chief Administrators of Cheongju city passed in the civil-service examination under Joseon dynasty. The average percentage of passers in the civil-service examination was 72.2% for the Chief Administrators of Cheongju city (淸州守令) during the late Joseon dynasty.
The great 10 clans comprised 37.2% of the Chief Administrators of Cheongju city is the late Joseon dynasty. Thus the powerful families is Seoul took over the position of the Chief Administrators of Cheongju city in Joseon dynasty.
The average term of the Chief Administrators of Cheongju city was shorter than two years. That was very shorter than the official term which was specified in law as 6 years.
In accordance with custom, the Civil Office Board (史曹) of Joseon dynasty appointed his trusted officers to the Chief Administrators of Cheongju city(淸州守令). It seems that the Chief Administrators of Cheongju city prepared for the next position in other local government, during their terms in Cheongju.
