나말여초 서해 해상세력과 고려의 건국 : 당진 출신 복지겸(卜智謙), 박술희(朴述希)의 정치활동을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how much did Bok Ji-kyom(卜智謙) and Park Sul-hee(朴述希), generals from Dangjin County in the middle of the West Sea, contributed to the foundation of Koryŏ dynasty during the period of late Silla and early Koryŏ dynasty. In 9th century, independent maritime powers formed the powerful political forces on the western and southeast coasts of the Korean Peninsula. King Wang Geon(王建), the founder of Koryŏ dynasty and King Gyeon Hwon(甄萱), the founder of Hubaekje dynasty, were also members of these powers. General Bok and Park were the same. General Bok expelled King Gung Ye(弓裔) by court coup and elected General Wang as new king. He also contributed greatly to the consolidation of early Koryŏ dynasty suppressing the anti-Wang coups. General Park helped King Wang Geon and contributed to the victory in the war against Hubaekje dynasty. Also, he recommended Wang Mu(王武), the eldest son of King Wang Geon, as the heir to the throne. Prince Wang Mu was crowned the second King Hyejong(惠宗). However, the royal maternal relatives threatened King Hyejong's throne. He caught in fear of assassination and died after 2 years of reign. General Park was also killed. General Bok and Park from Dangjin County contributed greatly to the foundation and government of the early Koryŏ dynasty. However, General Park failed to accomplish political stabilization.
