The government of Sambyelcho was proud of succeeding to tradition of unified Samhan, and fighted against the Mongols. Gyegyeong government, however, accepted the demand of the Mongols, and after returning to the capital from Ganghwagyeong to Gyegyeong, attacked the government of Sambyelcho, and allied itself with the attack of Japan. Combined Goryeo-Mongol forces were busily preparing for the war to rule the sea again and attack Japan. If combined Goryeo-Mongol forces should gain control over anti-Mongol, especially sea strength, they could break through defense net of Masan sea, and at the same time attack Japan and command the sea again. This led to the struggle between Sambyelcho and Gyegeong governments. Later defeat of Sambyelcho government and retreat into Jejudo, at least a part, resulted from the weakened defense system in Jindo due to this struggle. When the Millitary government collapsed and was broken into Sambyelcho and Gyegeong governments, the intellectuals of Confucianism and Buddhism were also divided into two parts according to their doctrines or situations. Later, however, a large number of them returned to Gyegyeong and participated in the Gyegyeong government. There are several evidences that even some of the intellectuals who took part in the making of Goryeo Tripitaka returned to Gyegyeong, and shouldered the burdens of high office later. Until those times, only three countries, Goryeo, Sung, and Khitan had ever held Tripitakas. However, two countries except Goryeo had already collapsed, and could not complement Tripitaka system and seek the promotion of Buddhism. Therefore, the intellectuals of Confucianism and Buddhism seemed to believe that, by making unified version of Tripitaka and flourishing Buddhism, Goryeo would rise and develop into center of Buddhism in East Asian world, and its authorities as an independent state would be greatly promoted.
