Kim Ok-hyun is not appreciated in Korea
I wonder why Kim Ok-hyun is not appreciated in Korea. At least, the evaluation is the exact opposite of the evaluation in Japan. Is the term ３-day world a mockery of him? It is true that the Gashin Coup that they initiated is said to have been a very careless coup, but for Koreans, Ahn Jung-geun, who assassinated Ito Hirobumi, is far more heroic than Kim Ok-gyun. .
Kim Okyun aiming for Japanese-style modernization
Japan is the only nation of people of color to have succeeded in its industrial revolution and modernization. Kim Ok-gyun focused on this and aimed to modernize the Korean Peninsula. After the failure of the Gashin Coup, Kim Ok-gyun defected to Japan and deepened his interactions with the people who played a central role in Japan's modernization.
Sanwaism, which advocated the independence and self-respect of East Asia
The Sanwa doctrine advocated by Kim Ok-gyun is the idea that Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and China should maintain their independence and cooperate with each other to counter Western colonial policies. This kind of thinking had something in common with the path that Japan's important figures were aiming for.
Miyazaki Toten, who supported China's Xinhai Revolution, said that Kim Ok-gyun was the person who would become the Sun Yat-sen of the Korean Peninsula .
Evaluation that he was a failure after being assassinated
After Kim Ok-gyun was assassinated in Shanghai, his body was returned to the Korean peninsula and dismembered. He is to be executed a second time. His mutilated body was displayed all over the Korean peninsula.
When I once asked Koreans why Kim Ok-gyun was not appreciated, he said that he was a failure because he misjudged his era. It means that he is a stupid person because he was brutally murdered. It was a questionable statement.
MEMO Kim Ok-gyun was assassinated in Shanghai by an assassin sent by Queen Min. The person who invited Kim Yu-kyun to Shanghai was none other than a friend of Kim Yu-kyun.
Japanese people were enraged by Kim Ok-hyun's brutal murder
The news of Kim Ok-hyun's brutal murder sparked a wave of anger in Japan. It is said that at Higashi Honganji Temple in Asakusa, where the funeral was held, there was a chorus of chants of ``Punish the Kiyoshi! Defeat the Kiyoshi!''
Within half a year, the Tonghak Party revolt broke out, leading to war with Qing, which had broken the Treaty of Tianjin.
Yukichi Fukuzawa adores Hitoshi Kim and has invited him to his private residence many times. However, he gave up on the goal of self-reliant modernization of the Korean peninsula, leading to the idea of ``de-Asia''.
Korea became an independent country after the Sino-Japanese War
As a result, Japan defeated the Qing Dynasty and the Korean Peninsula became an independent nation. Seo Jae-bi, a friend of the deceased Kim Ok-kyun, built the Independence Gate in present-day Seoul to express his joy. The Independence Gate commemorates independence from the Qing Dynasty and is believed in South Korea to be a symbol of independence from Japanese rule. Kim Ok-gyun's grave is currently located at Aoyama Cemetery in Japan.
South Korea hates people related to Japan
Am I a loser because I was brutally murdered? Only those who have done true deeds for their country can entrust that path to future generations. The same is true for soldiers on the Korean Peninsula who volunteered for the Greater East Asia War. They didn't fight for Japan. They probably fought to protect the Korean Peninsula.
Even those who supported the modernization of the Korean peninsula at the time are treated like traitors. South Korea seems to hate people who aim for such truthful development.
It is also no wonder that the South Korean president does not visit Yasukuni Shrine, where the soldiers who died on the Korean Peninsula who died in the Greater East Asia War are buried. South Korea should teach its children the true history and respect the soldiers who fought to protect the Korean peninsula.
POINT Korean soldiers who served in the former Japanese army and died in battle are enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine. The president of South Korea will never visit Yasukuni Shrine.

The Korean Peninsula seen from Charles Darré's ``The Korean Situation'' The Joseon Dynasty of the Yi Dynasty, when culture was undeveloped.
This is an excerpt from Charles Darré's ``Korean Affairs,'' a compilation of the correspondence of French missionaries.
----------------------
Roads and transportation are severely lacking in this mountainous country, which prevents large-scale cultivation. People only cultivate what is nearby, such as around their homes. Furthermore, there are almost no large villages, and the people in the countryside are scattered in three or four, or at most twelve or three, clusters. The annual harvest barely meets the needs of the population, and famine is common in Korea.
Although the treaty concluded in 1637 did not increase the actual conditions of Korea's servitude to the Qing, it formally made it a more humiliating relationship than before. The king of Korea had to not only recognize the right of investiture to the Emperor of Qing, but also the direct authority of his status, that is, the relationship of master and servant.
Seoul is a populous metropolis surrounded by mountains, along the banks of the Han River, and surrounded by tall, thick walls, but there is nothing of note in its architecture. With the exception of a few fairly wide roads, there are only winding alleys in which there is no airflow and the only thing that gets on your feet is garbage. Houses are usually covered with tiles, but are low and narrow.
Offices are openly bought and sold, and those who buy them naturally seek to recoup their costs, without even bothering to appear in order to do so. From the provincial governor to the lowest petty official, each official uses tax collection, litigation, and all other opportunities to raise money. Even the king's messengers abuse their privileges with extreme shame.
Academics in Korea are not ethnic at all. The books they read are Chinese, the language they learn is Chinese rather than Korean, and when it comes to history, they study Chinese history rather than Korean history, and the philosophical systems espoused by academics are Chinese. Since manuscripts are always inferior to originals, it is a natural consequence that Korean scholars are considerably inferior to Chinese scholars.
Setting aside the past, it is certain that today's public examinations are extremely corrupt. Today, degrees and licenses are not awarded to the most learned and most capable people, but to those with the most money or the most powerful guardians. .
The Korean aristocracy is the most powerful and most arrogant in the world. In other countries, monarchs, judicial officials, and various organizations keep the aristocracy within their proper limits and maintain a balance of power, but in Korea, there is a large population of yangban, and there are internal conflicts between them. Nevertheless, they know how to band together to preserve and extend their class privileges, and no citizen, government official, or even the king can challenge their power.
In Korea, as in other Asian countries, the customs are extremely corrupt, and the inevitable result is that the general status of women is unpleasantly wretched and low. Women are not seen as companions for men, but merely as slaves, playthings, or labor.
Koreans are generally stubborn, difficult, angry, and vindictive. This is due to uncivilization. There is no moral education among pagans, and even among Christians it takes time for education to bear fruit. Children grow up with little punishment, and when they grow up, both men and women are capable of endless outbursts of unparalleled anger.
Strangely enough, however, the armies are generally very weak, and if they see any serious danger, they will only give up their weapons and flee to the four directions. Perhaps it is due to lack of training or organizational deficiencies. The missionaries are convinced that if only they had competent generals, the Koreans would make a great army.
Koreans have an eye for making money. Use any means to make money. They know little about the moral laws that protect property and prevent theft, much less obey them. They are generally greedy and wasteful, and when they have money they spend it to the fullest.
Koreans are gluttons. In this respect, there is no difference between the rich, the poor, the yangban, and the ordinary people. It is an honor to eat a lot, and the value of the food served to the diners is measured not in its quality but in its quantity. Therefore, we hardly talk during meals. For if you say a word or two, you will lose a mouthful or two of food. They are raised with care from an early age to ensure their bellies have firm elasticity. Mothers hold their young children in their laps and feed them rice and other nutrients, occasionally tapping their bellies with the handle of a spoon to see if their bellies have swelled enough. Stop feeding when it becomes physiologically impossible for the baby to expand further.
Clothes are supposed to be white, but it takes a lot of effort to keep them clean, so they are often discolored due to the thick grime. Dirtyness is a major flaw among Koreans, and even the wealthy often wear clothes that are moth-stained and torn.
Koreans have made little progress in the field of scientific research, but they are still far behind in industrial knowledge. No useful technology has advanced in this country for centuries.
One of the major obstacles to the development of commerce is the imperfect monetary system. There are no gold or silver coins. Selling these metals in bulk is prohibited by many detailed regulations. For example, Chinese silver cannot be minted into the same bars as Korean silver and sold. He would definitely be found out, the silver bars would be confiscated, and the merchant would be heavily fined and possibly caned. The only legal currency in circulation is copper coins.
Another obstacle to commercial transactions is the deplorable condition of transportation routes. There are very few navigable rivers, and only a few allow ships to pass through, and even then, navigation is allowed only in very restricted areas. Although this country has many mountains and canyons, there is little known technology for building roads. Therefore, almost all transportation is done on the backs of oxen, horses, or people.
But the Government scrupulously adheres to this isolationism, which it believes to be necessary for its preservation, and is unwilling to abandon it on any interest or humanitarian consideration. In 1871 and 1872, a shocking famine struck Korea, and the country was devastated. It was so bad that some people on the West Coast sold their daughters to Chinese smugglers for one sho of rice each.
Some Koreans who crossed the forests of the northern border and reached Liaodong drew a diagram of the country's brutal state and showed it to the missionaries, complaining that ``bodies were lying on every road.'' But even then, the Korean government chose to let half of its population die rather than allow food purchases from China and Japan.
This hurdle will eventually be overcome by the Russians, who are increasingly invading the northeastern parts of Asia. From 1860 onwards, their territory bordered Russia, and various difficult problems arose between these two countries regarding border and trade issues. These problems will undoubtedly continue to occur, and one day Korea will be annexed to Russia.
One of the books written by a foreigner about the Joseon Dynasty is Isabella Bird's ``Travel to Joseon'', but the content is very similar.
The Hague Emissary Incident was tell - all diplomacy - Why was the emissary ignored? Evidence that the world did not recognize Korea, which had given up its sovereignty.
The Korean Empire was founded before the Russo-Japanese War
Japan helped Korea gain independence and eventually stripped Korea of diplomatic rights
The Hague emissary incident is a pathetic diplomatic failure
Main emissary activities
Already surrendered sovereignty before the Hague emissary incident
The southward movement of Russian interests was the cause of the Russo-Japanese War
Kojong made the mistake of causing the head of state to flee and seek asylum in the Russian legation, and the first Russo-Japanese Protocol (Komura-Weber Agreement) and the second Russo-Japanese Protocol (Yamagata-Lobanov Agreement) were concluded, and the premise was He returned to Gyeongun Palace and changed the country's name to the Korean Empire in 1897. Adding the name of an empire to a country's name meant that it was on the same level as Japan and China, and Japan approved of this.
Later, during the Russo-Japanese War that began in 1904, the First Japan-Korea Treaty was concluded, giving Japan the upper hand in the Russo-Japanese War. Under the Second Japan-Korea Treaty concluded in 1905 after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the Korean Peninsula was stripped of its diplomatic rights.
Although Japan helped establish the Korean Empire on a par with Japan through the Japan-Russia Protocol, Gojong continued to draw in Russian interests. The eventual outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War led to Japan stripping Korea of its diplomatic rights.
The Hague Emissary Incident occurred when Gojong dispatched an emissary to the Hague International Conference in 1907 to appeal for the restoration of diplomatic rights. They were doing the same kind of tell-all diplomacy that is practiced today.
However, Russia, who was supposed to have invited them, betrayed them and was rejected by all the participating countries, and the emissary sent by Gojong was not even able to enter the conference hall. Conversely, Japan's jurisdiction over the Korean Peninsula became internationally recognized.
[Main emissary activities]
He visits Count Nelidov, the chief representative of the Russian Empire, who is the chairman of the conference, but he is refused a meeting.
He visits representatives from the United States, England, France, and Germany, but is refused assistance.
We request a meeting with the Dutch Foreign Minister of the country hosting the conference, but he is refused.
The conference in The Hague, Netherlands recognized Japan's jurisdiction over the Korean Peninsula.
In the first place, in 1896, after the assassination of Queen Min and the Chunshengmun Incident, Go Song, the head of state, fled to the Russian Legation and went into exile (Roguan Transfer). At this point, Korea was no longer recognized by the world as an independent and independent nation.
With the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895, Korea renounced its sovereignty less than a year after gaining independence from Qing thanks to Japan.
Even if they attempted to exercise remote control from their exile, they were already under Russian house arrest, and Russia gradually gained control over the Korean Peninsula. Even after Gojong returned to Korea and founded the Korean Empire, Russia continued to gain interests in the Korean Peninsula, which led to the Russo-Japanese War.
The Joseon Dynasty cried out to the Qing Dynasty and triggered the Sino-Japanese War, and was invaded by Russian interests due to the transfer of Rokan, leading to the Russo-Japanese War. The Hague Emissary Incident was a case in which a courier was sent to express his dissatisfaction with having been stripped of his diplomatic rights. Japan then gave up on the independence of the Korean Peninsula.
The blatant lie that Japan stole Korea's independence - Joseon was not an independent nation.
Joseon Dynasty unable to resolve domestic issues
The annexation of Japan and Korea was carried out peacefully
Japan disappears and splits into North and South
Divided constitution that continues today
It is clear that at the end of the Joseon Dynasty, the Joseon dynasty lacked the power to govern the country. The person who put an end to the Imo Army Rebellion was Yuan Shikai. Who did Queen Min rely on to suppress the rebellion of the Donghak Party? This is also pure. This caused the Sino-Japanese War to break out. What happened after Japan became an independent country after the Sino-Japanese War? Next is the division between pro-Russian and pro-Japanese factions. This led to the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War.
The Junsong Dynasty was unable to settle the domestic turmoil through imperial edicts, and wrote that it wanted to entrust the country to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan. Japan and the Korean Peninsula were annexed by treaty. It is said that the Japanese army attacked, but that is not true at all. What is the basis for assuming that the Korean Peninsula was an autonomous nation at the time? If Japan had been an autonomous nation in the first place, there is a possibility that neither the Sino-Japanese War nor the Russo-Japanese War would have occurred.
So what happened to the Korean Peninsula after Japan's defeat? It was divided into north and south. Despite saying that the Japanese Empire had left, the country was divided into pro-Russian, pro-China, and pro-American forces.
What would happen if we looked at present-day South Korea? This is also a pattern of division between pro-China and pro-American factions. Moreover, the previous Moon Jae-in administration pursued a surprising foreign policy of promoting Chinese-led unification with North Korea, an enemy country. Throughout history, the Korean peninsula may have been viewed from the Japanese perspective, but it can also be said that the most stable period on the Korean peninsula was during the Japanese colonial period.
feudalism and modernization The Industrial Revolution cannot succeed in the Joseon Dynasty.The existence of proletariat is indispensable for the Industrial Revolution.The goal of defeating the Edo Shogunate, which was a closed-door policy, was not only to open the country, but also to break away from the feudal system and destroy the shogunate system.In other words, as long as people are in feudalism and are bound by land, they cannot secure a fluid labor force.Even in new industrial development, necessary human resources cannot be gathered where they are needed.
In this sense, if you look at the Korean Peninsula at that time, it is not feudalism but servitude, which is from the Middle Ages.In fact, it is said that things that developed in the Middle Ages did not develop and were in a pre-medieval state.Thus the servant was bound not only by the land, but also by his master, and had no freedom.Was it possible to get workers for Industlial Revolusion?
In order to modernize, it is essential to destroy the traditional feudal social system.The Meiji Restoration was the same, and the 1911 Revolution aimed to break away from the Qing dynasty.For this reason, Kim Ok-kyun's way of thinking is correct.Only when the Joseon dynasty is overthrown can social reform be carried out, and the road to modernization begins there.
The truth about Queen Min assassination is completely different from what South Korea claims.None of the Japanese were punished.
In 1906, King Gojong said, "There was a criminal among my men " and killed six people, including Cho Hee-yeon, Woo Beom-sun, Lee Doo-hee, Lee Jin-ho, Lee Beom-rae, and Kwon Hee-jin, who were pardoned by the Russian legation for the assassination of Queen Min.
King Sunjong, who was at the scene of the murder, reported that he witnessed Woo Beom-sun as the "enemy of his mother," and Woo Beom-sun himself confessed that he had killed Queen Min.Woo Beom-sun was assassinated on November 24, 1903 in Wu, Hiroshima Prefecture by King Sunjong's alleged stabbers Ko Young-geun and Roh Yoon-myeong.
In Korea, two days after the assassination of Queen Min (October 10), before Queen Min's death was announced to the public, Daewongun issued an imperial decree that deprives him of his status as queen of Queen Min and drops him to the common people.At this time, Queen Min's death had not yet been made public.In other words, ordinary people have died in Korea.
The Korean government certified that Heungseon Daewongun was the mastermind.
The case was treated as an assassination case led by Daewongun.Queen Min is then declared dead as a commoner.
The story of the Japanese assassination of Queen Min, believed by Koreans, is that they killed Queen Min smiling, and angry with oil after carefully examining the queen's body with two or three cuts, naked.By the way, there is no presentation of the evidence as usual.Like the story of Japanese Military comfort woman and the story of Gunkanjima, the story is transformed into a sensational story, and the other party is shocked and the conclusion is changed to a groundless story.Do you want to say that King Gojong's subordinates did this in front of his son Sunjong and many others?
At the time of Queen Min assassination, there were about 100 court ladies and maids, and only one Queen Min was killed.There was someone who knew Queen Min's face.No one had mistaken to assassinat Queen Min for other woman.Only a limited number of people have access to Queen Min.Moreover, after the murder, the criminals fled immediately.This is not the time to pour oil into.
By the way, the theory that the current photograph of Queen Min is not Queen Min introduced in Japanese and European materials until 1910 as "Korean wives in formal clothes," "Maiden of the Palace," and "Maiden."It was after World War II that the photograph was called Queen Min.
The truth about Queen Min assassination is completely different from what South Korea claims.None of the Japanese were punished.
48 officials, including Japanese diplomat Minister Miura, were tried in Japan and released due to insufficient evidence, and all eight officers submitted to the court-martial have been acquitted.
