就利山會盟 前後 新羅의 對百濟 認識

Abstract

The relationship between Baekje and Silla in the 7C was different from that of the late 6C ; it shows international aspects, involving Japan, Tang and Koguryo. Baekje once gained successful results from attacking Silla, but it had to be on the road to collapse in the end, due to the misjudgment of the situation made by King Ueija while in power. Silla’s advance to the East Sea side and its command of the southern sea side of Kaya in the 6C were directly related not only to taking marine resources but also to the guarantee of iron and salt, which were treated as strategic goods. In the same manner, it is logical to understand that Silla’s expansion of territory was resulted from the material and human necessity such as the increased demand of farmland and labor power. In the process of this, Kim Chunchu’s son-in-low, Kim Pumseok, and his wife were murdered in the fall of Daeya Fortress. Silla harbored strong enmity against Baekje since then. With the Mt. Chuiri League ahead, the Woongreyeong Convention was made in order to avoid forming a league with Baekje. This convention was Silla’s reaction to Tang's pressure. Nevertheless, after all, Silla formed the Mt. Chuiri League due to Tang’s pressure. The Woongreyeong Convention and the Mt. Chuiri League demarcated the frontier of Silla and Baekje by taking the place of each convention and league in present-Kongju as the border. Tang intended to organize the native place of Baekje as its subject state during this process. So it is obvious that both Silla and Baekje shank from forming the Mt. Chuiri League, and thus Silla carried out its own will by clearing the native place of Baekje of Tang power. Silla had no credit with Baekje about the time when the league was formed. Although it was to approve its raid on and seizure of Baekje justifiable to a certain extent, Silla actually thought Baekje very wicked, betraying others continually. Silla also believed that the ruling class of Baekje had indulged in luxury and pleasure. To Silla's ruling class, including the royal family, such perception was a necessary condition to recover from the defeat in the battle of Daeya Fortress 20 years ago and, practically, to drive away Tang which had territorial ambition toward the native place of Baekje.
