Keeping Byeon Eung-seong as Defense Commander at Pasa, on the Hongsan Report因鴻山賊報請邊應星仍任防禦使進駐婆娑等處以察警備。啓
伏見忠淸道御史李時發狀。啓鴻山盜賊屯聚之事極爲駭愕此恐或過實之傳但近來事變未息民心易搖自古嘯聚之徒必起於如此之時鎭定措置之事不可以微小忽之也京畿初出左右防禦使欲其分兩路䇿應也右防禦使吳應鼎則托以鍊兵明日使之出巡於水原竹山等地以察直路形止矣左防禦使邊良俊時無上來之期驪州以下龍津等處譏察警守之事時無檢勅之人似爲虛疎前防禦使邊應星雖以巡察使宋言愼相避見遞而別非同任之比且方在廣州請邊應星仍任使之劃卽前駐婆娑龍津等處以察警備之事何如
Looking in prostration at the dispatch of Yi Si-bal (李時發), the inspector of Chungcheong, it says that robbers have gathered at Hongsan (鴻山), which is greatly alarming. It may be that this has been passed on beyond the truth of it. Only, of late the upheavals have not ceased and the people's hearts are easily shaken, and from of old those who band and gather have always risen at such a time, so the quieting and ordering of it cannot be neglected as a small thing.
The sending out of left and right defense commanders in Gyeonggi at the first was meant to have them answer along two roads apart. The right defense commander O Eung-jeong (吳應鼎) has been set, on the pretext of drilling troops, to go out tomorrow and make a round of Suwon, Juksan and those parts and look into how matters stand along the straight road. The left defense commander Byeon Yang-jun (邊良俊) has as yet no term fixed for coming up, so that from Yeoju downward, at Yongjin and those parts, there is no man to keep a hold on the watching and holding, and it seems left loose.
The former defense commander Byeon Eung-seong (邊應星) was replaced on the ground that he and the Circuit Commissioner Song Eon-sin (宋言愼) stand in a relation that must be avoided, but that is not the same as the case of men holding one and the same charge, and he is at Gwangju (廣州) at present. May Byeon Eung-seong be kept as he is and set to go forward at once to Pasa (婆娑), Yongjin and those parts and be stationed there to look to the watch?
