Section 427 The recovery of the first subject
"Kim Sung-hee, the Lee family of Jeonju, was born in Pyeongsan County, Hwanghae Province. In 1894, he entered the Peicai School (later Peicai University) and later participated in the independent association movement, and was arrested and sentenced by the Korean Imperial Government in 1899. In 1904, he was pardoned and served as a secret envoy of Emperor Gaozong Li Xi to our country. In the second year of Gonghe, he received a bachelor's degree from Qingzhou University of Political Science and Law, and in the fifth and seventh years of Gonghe, he obtained a master's degree in law from Shandong University of Political Science and Law and a doctorate degree in economics from Shandong University. Yu Jian closed the clip, it seems that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but in the eyes of the Coordination Bureau, such a good thing is worthy of his Director Yu.
Like other young North Koreans at that time, Kim Sung-hee received Chinese education from an early age, hoping to take the imperial examination and take the path of eunuchs. He studied Confucian classics at his home school, and in 1887 he took the first exam. It is a pity that by 1894, all of the 11 imperial examinations he had participated in had been named Sun Shan (it seems that it is a law that students who fail to change the world). After the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894, Korea implemented the First Sino-Japanese War. In this reform, the imperial examination was abolished. Kim Sung-hee's life road was cut off, and North Korea in transition was in urgent need of foreign language talents, so in order to become an official, he entered the Paejae School (the predecessor of Paejae University, the largest new-style school in North Korea at that time) founded by the U.S. Board of Supervisors in Seoul. He studied English in the Peicai School, began to have extensive contact with Westerners, bathed in Western culture, and completed the "gorgeous turn" from Confucianism to enlightenment. As a result, Kim Sung-hee was reborn and thus appeared on the stage of history.
In 1896, the famous enlightened figure Seo Jae-pil returned from the United States and founded the Independent News, organized an independent association, and sowed civil rights ideas in Korea. Seo Jae-pil has a great influence on Kim Sung-hee, and it can be said that he is the mentor of the young Kim Sung-hee. For one year from May 1896, Xu Zaibi gave weekly lectures on world geography, history, politics and Western enlightenment thought to the students of the Peicai School. Kim Sung-hee was one of the 13 founders of the Association and served as its secretary, and under the influence of Seo Jae-pil, Kim Sung-hee was determined to fight for civil rights and independence.
On July 8, 1897, Kim Sung-hee graduated from the Peicai Academy and delivered an English speech entitled "The Independence of Korea" to the teachers and students of the Peicai Academy, Seo Jae-pil, government ministers and U.S. diplomats in Korea. The speech, which reviewed traditional Sino-North Korean relations, Korean independence as a result of the First Sino-Japanese War, and what the future of North Korea should do to save the day, was named "the most ambitious work of the day's graduation ceremony." Since then, he has been a teacher at the Peicai Academy and has been actively involved in the cause of enlightenment.
On January 1, 1898, the "Hyepseonghui Newspaper" was launched, and Kim Sung-hee participated in the editorial work, often publishing patriotic articles in the newspaper. In March 1898, the Independent Association convened a meeting of all people to repel Russian interference, and Kim Sung-hee participated in this grand mass rally, at which he delivered an impassioned speech calling on his compatriots to unite and defend their sovereignty, which can be said to be his first step into the political arena. Under the indomitable struggle of Kim Sung-hee and others, Emperor Gojong Yi Hee had to make a compromise and temporarily let go of the Independent Association, and on November 29, 1898, 17 members of the Independent Association, including Kim Sung-hee, were appointed as members of the Central Council.
At that time, the subordinates of Park Yong-hyo, who had fled to Japan, returned to China and got in touch with Kim Sung-hee and other independent associations of the Young Zhuang faction, trying to take advantage of the chaos in South Korea to fish in troubled waters and urge Park Yong-hyo to return to power. After Kim Sung-hee and others were bribed, they convened a meeting of all the people in December 1898 to continue the struggle against the colonial government of Sam-Korea, and threatened to recall Park Yong-hyo to return home. Yoon Zhihao, the president of the Independent Association at the time, was extremely dissatisfied with Kim Sung-hee's radical adventures, and commented that Kim Sung-hee was "very irrational and reckless". [9] Park Yong-hyo was a major problem for Gojong, and conspiracy theories such as Park Yong-hyo returning to China as president or emperor were also circulating, so Gojong resolutely adopted a policy of suppression against the Independent Association, mobilized the army on December 22, 1898 to forcibly dissolve the Association of All Peoples convened by the Independent Association, and issued a decree to ban the Independent Association on December 25.
Jin Shengxi once came to China secretly, but that time he came to the Celestial Dynasty to ask for help on behalf of Emperor Gaozong Li Xi, but the timing was not right, and naturally there was no gain. After returning to China, in order to survive, he joined the representative office of an American company in Samhan and became a second devil. In the first year of the Republic, he was arrested again for his statements against the Japanese colonial government, but he was soon released, and he was secretly released on bail by Yamaguchi Odoroki Nakasa of the Special Higher Police Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is not known for what purpose Yamaguchi released him on bail. He disappeared from the land of Samhan until more than three years later, when Kim Sung-hee appeared in Shanghai, he began to propagate the idea of Samhan's restoration of independence and the idea of the Heavenly Dynasty and the Upper State of the Dynasty, and won over many Samhan people who were exiled in China. Kim Seong-hee, Ahn Chang-ho and others defected to Kim Sung-hee, and with the secret financial support of the Unified Investigation Bureau, they gradually established a 3,000-strong Samhan Restoration Volunteer Army, which was transferred to the Songwon area to receive training from the Jilin Column of the National Defense Force. With the support of the Chinese side, this army replenished a large number of troops from the exiled Samhans, and Japan did not close the Sino-Korean border for trade, and a large number of Samhan righteous soldiers came from Samhan to defect, so that this army snowballed to expand, except for a small amount of domestic entrainment funds, most of which still had to be provided by the Chinese side, so Kim Sung-hee established the two principles of "Restoration of Independence" and "Chao Fengtian Dynasty" within the alliance were very supported by most people, although he did not serve in the army like Kim Jiu, is not like Ahn Chang-ho who is running around to promote the restoration of Sam Korea, but relying on the support of the Unified Investigation Bureau and the distribution of funds, he has always held the Avengers in his hands, and now is the time for this fattened dog of the Unified Investigation Bureau to contribute to the owner.
Although the east and north of the Nakdong River have not yet been recovered, and the Japanese army is still entrenched near Busan, 87% of Samhan's territory is already in Samhan's own hands (if not counting the Chinese National Defense Forces), and the establishment of Samhan Republic is on the agenda. After hastily announcing to the consulates of various countries, after the founding of Seoul in January, the founding ceremony was finally held on March 15 of the 14th year of the Republic of China, but at the parade there were only three divisions of the first column of Jinjiu (another division maintained order in the capital) and two or three artillery battalions and a cavalry battalion. It wasn't until the Wehrmacht, which was invited to attend the parade, that hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles, and towed artillery from each regiment of the Wehrmacht's 22nd Armored Division and the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division drove past the Blue House, and the most optimistic sticks had to widen the distance between them and the great powers a little, so as not to make the Celestial Empire laugh. Soon after the founding of Samhan, China recognized the legal status of Samhan Republic, and soon under China's mediation, the United States, Germany, and France successively recognized the fact of Samhan's restoration, and Britain was also ashamed to upgrade the chargé d'affaires office to a legation, and a month later, except for Japan and Red Russia, all major countries had already recognized Samhan's regime.
Of course, as the head of the Samhan regime, President Kim Sung-hee also announced that the Avengers would be the sole ruling party, and decided on the two major national policies for the future, "national independence" and "Hakbongcheon." In his national policy speech, Kim Sung-hee compared China to a mother who worked hard to raise many sons (subject countries), and although the family was poor, the mother still worked hard for her son, until a brutal and murderous nouveau riche neighbor forcibly injured his mother, took her son to work as a slave laborer, and signed a deed of sale (the Treaty of Shimonoseki) against her will in order to protect her son from being killed. Now although the mother is not rich, but finally accumulated a little strength, from the perspective of great maternal love, bravely fought to the death with the murderous nouveau riche neighbors, and finally snatched back the son who had been secretly born under the whip, although the son who returned to his mother was not strong, but as a son of man, how could he watch his mother fight hard with the evil neighbor for himself, and he stood by and watched? When Kim Sung-hee talked about his emotions, he burst into tears, and he shouted loudly to the representatives of gentry, businessmen, students, and soldiers from all over the audience:
"Did the Heavenly Empire exploit us Sanhan before? Have thou taken my land, and fornicated my wife and daughter, killed my father and my brother, and taken my people captive, and sent our flesh and bones into the mines to be used as cattle and horses, so that the corpses were full of valleys, and ghosts howled at night? ”
"No!"
"The soldiers of the Heavenly Empire are now climbing the ice and snow, risking guns and cannons, fighting bloody battles against the murderous Japanese and even sacrificing their lives in order for us Sanhan people to get rid of the obscenity of the Japanese people?"
"Yes!"
"Then we are the three Korean gentry, ordinary people, soldiers, students, workers, peasants, and merchants. Sue me, are you willing to do your part to restore my homeland of Sanhan and Yongfeng Heavenly Dynasty? ”
"Yes!" There was a scene of indignation, and several gentry in the arena who tried to get rid of China's control and strive for the complete independence of Sanhan couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, but they couldn't help but raise their hands together and shout willing, otherwise the hat of this Korean traitor would be put on. I secretly scolded Jin Shengxi, an old horseman, for being too shady, and tied Fuguo and Chaofeng together and asked, who can say disagree for a while? This voice is willing to shout, and in the future, if you want to oppose the Chao Fengtian Dynasty, it will be a villain who is inconsistent with his words and deeds. Thus, the two major policies of Samhan were born with all the members standing up, applauding enthusiastically, unanimously agreeing, and no one opposing.
This speech is known as the "Three Questions of the Father of the Nation" of Sanhan, and Sanhan has since regarded himself as the first subject state of the Celestial Empire, and has much contempt for the subject countries that were later recovered. In spite of this, Wu Chenxuan worked tirelessly for the military and civilians of Sam Han to open up two highway communication lines running through the north and south on the western front in more than three months, so that the national defense forces could train in battles on the front line of the Nakdong River in Sam Korea, and the plan of training troops in rotational battles was carried out smoothly, and for a time, the military trains and military vehicles of the Chinese defense forces shuttled back and forth from the railways and highways in Dandong, Manpu, Hyesan and other places like marquees, and two air superiority wings and six bomber wings (four of which were tactical support wings) were also stationed at the airfields in the south of Samhan. The Japanese army, which had no air superiority and artillery superiority, could only use their three-inch stature and heavy artillery shells slightly higher than his height on the front line of the Nakdong River.
