백제 부흥운동의 태동 배경에 관한 일고찰

Abstract

What’s the cause of bringing on the Revival Movement of Baekje? So far, it was focused on Tang’s looting and tyranny, but I propose another one, an act of Silla’s revenge. For Silla considered an attack on Baekje as to settle Silla’s old scores with Baekje, directly falling Daeya-fortress. Therefore, considering these disputes between Baekje and Silla, the hierarchy of Baekje was afraid of Silla’s revenge more than Tang’s looting and tyranny. This is the cause of the formation of self-defense organizations early. After July 18, self-defense organizations, Dochim, Boksin and Heukchisangji in Imjon-fortress and Yeojajin in Gumanori-fortress, existed dispersively in Baekje. So Silla-Tang allied forces attacked sizable Imjon-fortress on August 26, and defeated. Besides, Tang forces withdrew from Imjon-fortress in just 7 days, and only 17,000 Silla-Tang allied forces remained in Sabi-fortress. So, as Boksin’s and Yeojajin forces in regional organizations were interconnected, the revival movement of Baekje was transformed widely from the individual and isolated regional organizations. Therefore, I propose that the cause of a change from individual organizations to revival movement was battle of Imjon-fortress on August 26. Because it was the first battle that the revival forces, not regular army of Baekje, won against Silla-Tang allied forces. It could be made allied with the regional organizations and attacked on Sabi-fortress on September 23.
