Editing Go of Balhae (section)

=== King of Jin (Zhen) and Balhae ===
The Wu Zhou killed Geolsa Biu, and Dae Jung-sang also died. Dae Joyeong integrated the armies of Goguryeo people and some Mohe (Malgal) tribes and resisted Wu Zhou's attack{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}. His victory over the Wu Zhou at the [[Battle of Tianmenling]]{{citation needed|date=January 2022}} enabled him to expand his father's empire and claimed himself the King of [[Balhae|Jin (Zhen)]] in 698{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}.<ref name="Bae">Kichan Bae, "Korea at the crossroads:the history and future of East Asia", Happyreading, 2007. {{ISBN|8989571464}} p.83</ref> He established his capital at [[Dunhua|Dongmo Mountain]] in the south of today's [[Jilin|Jilin province]], and built a fortress, which was to become Zhen (Jin) kingdom's capital{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}.

He attempted to expand his influence in foreign politics involving the Tang/ Wu Zhou, the [[Göktürk]]s, the Khitan, [[Silla]]<ref name="Pre-modern">[[Patricia Buckley Ebrey|Patricia Ebrey]], Anne Walthall, "Pre-Modern East Asia: A Cultural, Social, and Political History", Vol.I:to 1800, Cengage Learning, 2013. {{ISBN|1133606512}} p.111</ref> and some independent Mohe tribes. At first he dispatched an envoy to the Göktürks, allying against Tang/ Wu Zhou. Then he reconciled himself with the Tang when [[Emperor Zhongzong of Tang|Emperor Zhongzong]] was restored to the throne.<ref name="Pre-modern" />

In 712, he renamed his empire [[Balhae]]. In 713, he was given the titular title of "Prince of [[Commandery (China)|Commandery]] of Bohai (Balhae)" (渤海郡王) by [[Emperor Xuanzong of Tang China|Emperor Xuanzong]].<ref name="Bae" /> After a period of rest within the empire, King Go made it clear that Silla was not to be dealt with peacefully because they had allied with Tang to destroy Goguryeo, the predecessor of Balhae. This aggressive stance towards Silla was continued on by his son and successor King [[Mu of Balhae]].

Dae Joyeong died in 719, and his son Dae Muye assumed the throne.<ref>UNESCO Korean Committee, "Korean History:Discovery of its Characteristics and Developments", VOl.5, Hollym, 2004. {{ISBN|1565911776}} p.158</ref> Dae Joyeong was given the posthumous name "King Go."
