보덕국의 탄생과 그 의미

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the historical meanings in the foundation of Bodeokguk, which holds important significance in Silla overcoming the Silla-Tang War and entering the era of the unification of Three Hans. In early 670, Uisang informed Silla of the possibility that Tang might attack Silla, which deployed the Anseung group to Geummajeo to defend the nation from the marine attacks of Tang. As the Anseung group moved to Geummajeo, the conflicts between Silla and Woongjin Commandery surfaced. Silla took the chance and attacked and conquered 82 fortresses including Woongjin Commandery in July, 670, when the wandering people of Goguryeo in Bodeokguk volunteered to occupy the highlands of Baekje and have their legitimacy of Goguryeo recognized. Later Woongjin Commandery informed Tang of the fact that Silla took Anseung as its Oiwon. The fact was mentioned in "Seolinguiseo" and "Dapseolinguiseo," which were letters exchanged between Silla and Tang in 671. Tang risked the Seokmun battle in 672 and removed King Munmu from office in 674 under the cause of Bodeokguk. The wandering people of Goguryeo in Bodeokguk tried to revive or reconstruct Goguryeo by volunteering to support Silla, which stopped Tang from moving south along the land route by supporting the revival movement of Goguryeo, which developed in the highlands of Goguryeo until 673, and mobilized the wandering people of Goguryeo in the Anseung group to occupy the highlands of Baekje. In 674 when Silla's grasp over the highlands of Baekje increased, however, Anseung was installed as the king of Bodeokguk again. In 683, Silla summoned Anseung to Wangyeong and granted him the family name of Kim, thus making the dissolution of Bodeokguk a fact. The wandering people of Goguryeo in Bodeokguk rose in revolt as people of Bodeokguk. Silla suppressed their revolt and arranged the areas around it, completing the system of nine provinces and five Sogyeongs. Some of Goguryeo's wandering people in Bodeokguk were organized into the Byeokgeum and Jeokgeum Seodang of nine Seodangs. This does not mean that the unification of Three Hans, which signifies the unification of Three Kingdoms by Silla, was completed. Here, the unification of Three Hans means that Silla took over the areas of Three Hans in terms of territory and unified the Three Kingdoms including the wandering people of Goguryeo in terms of people. Silla actually had the consciousness of Three Hans' unification to signify the unification of Three Kingdoms, but it stuck to the expression, unification of Three Hans, not to stimulate Tang. In the end, Silla accepted the wandering people of Goguryeo actively to check Tang and occupy the highlands of Baekje and won a victory in Silla-Tang War thanks to their support. It finally realized the unification of Three Kingdoms via the legitimacy of Bodeokguk and the wandering people of Goguryeo.
