<<Only in Korea Part-5>>
Continuing from Part-4
=================================================
=================================================
As you can see, Korean people’s insistence of “Japan killed Korean
queen and forcefully invaded Korea!” is a childish and nonsense lie without any
historical back ground in hopes of trying to pretend as though they were the
victims of Japan. Don’t get cheated by Korean scam. You’ll find out more about what kind of people
Koreans are.
In reality, the developed country Japan was invited by Korean Queen
Myung because Korean Queen Myung was a Pro-Japan. She envied and loved Japan.
There was no reason for Japan to invade Korea at all because Japan was welcomed
to stay in Korea by the ardent request from Korean Queen Myung who was a huge
fan of Japan.
However, there were people who wanted to
kill Korean Queen Myung so bad. It was all Korean people.
There were several reasons for Koreans to
want to kill Korean Queen Myung.
=(Reason 1)====
For
majority of Ryangban (Class of nobles), Korean Queen was an unwelcomed dictator
designated by China because she wasn’t protecting the privileges of Ryangban.
=(Reason 2) ====
For majority of civilians, they hated
Korean Queen because she and Ryangban stole everything from them.
= (Reason 3) ====
For
some Ryangban and civilians, they wanted to kill or kick Korean Queen out of Korea BECAUSE they wanted to become independent from CHINA.
The 3rd reason is the most
important reason as you continue to read.
Those Koreans who wanted to become
independent from China had a different envision from the rest of Koreans
because those Koreans had visited Japan before and found out that there was
such a wonderful country Japan existed. And they envied the civilized and
sophisticated people and culture of Japan where people didn’t steal others
belongings, no trashes on the streets, and people behaved polite being clad in
a suit. At that time, Koreans were still at the level of primitive living in
straw houses, stealing, cheating, murder, slavery and being clad in the white
robes even in the capital city of Seoul Korea.
Those Koreans who witnessed the society of Japan
wanted to be like Japanese.
But in order to be like Japan, they knew
they had to be independent from China. They needed to detach themselves from
more than thousands of years of Chinese curse.
=< The Reason >===========================
Now, I want you to understand why Korea asked Japan for help.
If Japan was as horrible country as China
which robbed everything from Korea, Korea would have had no reason to ask Japan
for help because it would be another headache for Korea to have another bully
country which tried to exploit Korea. But because Japan was ethically and
morally high as the developed country which never exploited other countries in
history, Koreans voluntarily asked Japan for help.
For Koreans, Japan was like a wonderland where there were no slaves,
no thieves, no frauds, no arrogant gangsters like Ryangban. But instead there
were schools, hospitals, railroads, dams, battleships and everything, none of
which Korea had. Korea didn’t even have electricity for light so they were
living in straw houses with oil lamps at a night. (Just like North Korean
people today)
Before Japan annexed Korea, there wasn’t
even a hospital in Korea. There was no concept of medicine in Korean culture.
The only thing they had was Shamanism. When people got sick, those Shamans prayed
for their patients. That was it. So the average longevity of Korea before
annexation (according to the official documents) was only 25. After the
annexation, Korean’s average longevity drastically improved to 45. Thanks to
modern medicine introduced by Japan!
Those Koreans visited Japan knew Japan was
genetically and culturally absolutely different breed from Chinese based East
Asian countries. And in addition to that, Japan was generous. There was no
concept of “Generousity” in Chinese based East Asian culture which included
Korea. That’s why Koreans were eager to ask Japan for help.
================================
From here, I will show you the actual history of why Koreans wanted
Japan to annex Korea in details. And who actually got involved in the crucial
parts of history.
All of the actual history and evidences are
banned in Korea to see. And if you were Westerners or anyone other than
Japanese, you wouldn’t have any chances to see the actual Korean and Chinese
history in your country. So if you want to let your friends know the actual
history of China and Korea, please help yourself and share these series with
your friends.
=<Crucial Korean History 2>=============
Around late 1870’s, many Koreans studied in Japan because there was
no school, nor was there University in Korea. Korean people wanted to learn in
the developed country Japan.
Those Koreans, who studied in Japan, had a strong
ambition to make Korea independent from China. So those Koreans aggressively
contacted Japanese politicians to develop their ties with Japan during the
time.
At that time in Korea, there were three
major political parties beginning to form.
One was to keep the conventional status as
the slave province of China. This Conservative Party was the main stream of
Korea since their ancient time worshiping China.
2nd one was a new party called “Peaceful
Revolutionary Party” which held a belief that Korea should develop future with
both China and Japan without a physical fight.
The last one was Independence Party which
had a belief that Korea should become independent from China (meaning removing
the existence of China from Korea). And this revolutionary Koreans were the
ones studying in Japan. And they were the Koreans who desperately asked Japan
for help to make Korea independent from China.
Please take a look at the attached picture.
I listed up some of the revolutionary Koreans who had been studying in Japan
because they played the huge roles in the following events after “Imo Coup”.
=< Struggling to become independent >=========
In 1882, “Imo Incident/Coup” had triggered in Korea. It was the
first time movement in Korean history ever attempted to remove China from Korea
by Koreans. But their initial attempt soon became failure in front of the
overpowering Chinese Army.
After the incident got settled down, Korean
Queen Myung sent her errands to Japan for apology (amendment).
The leader of errands was “Park Yung-hio”(See
the attached image “A”) a member of Independence Party.

And one of his assistants was “Kim Ok-gyun” (See the attached image “B”) who was a leader of Independence Party.

======================================
The total 20 errands from Korea visited
Japan for apology and stayed for about two months from October 1882 till
December 1882.
During the time, those Koreans met with
Japanese Emperor and requested (asked and begged) to support the independence
of Korea from China.
=<Attention!>=========================
This
is the important fact! Koreans asked Japan to help Korea become independent. Can
you see a huge discrepancy current Korean people have?
If Japan was an absolute Evil country as
all Korean people insist today, why Koreans voluntarily asked and begged Japan
for help? People don’t ask absolute Evil people for their help, right? If you
are in need of help, you look for someone who is kind and good-hearted person,
right? You want help from someone who is
generous and compassionate, right? See? Koreans are all liars, right? Moreover,
when Koreans testify “Japan killed Korean Queen and invaded Korea!”, Koreans
never mention the existence of China which had been torturing Korea as their
slave for thousands of years.
Please keep that in your mind because the
same thing happens again and again in the following events. And this was the
reason for why Japan and China got into war as the consequent event. It was Korea, which played with the minds of
two countries China and Japan, and made them go to war.
(The above isn’t my personal opinion, but
from a respectable historic researcher Huang Wenxiong who is native Taiwanese.
And many Japanese professionals agree with his opinion)
=======================================
Koreans failed to become independent from China by the initial
attempt of Imo Coup but they couldn’t give up on the ambition of becoming independent.
Japan was the only hope for Koreans so they determined to “use” Japan for their
second battle against China. (See? Japan
was like a super-hero for Koreans. You’ll find out more as you continue to read)
==< Rotten Country Korea >==============
When the errands of Korea returned to Korea (after Imo Coup), they found out that their
country was totally corrupt.
Queen Myungu was into Shamanism. She
invited Shamans from all over Korea and let them stay in and occupy Korean
palace and held a ritual of Shamanism twice a day. And because of her practices, Korea was
running out of its budget.
What was worse was that Germany “Paul
Georg” who was initially recommended by Chinese minister, and later designated
to become Foreign Secretary of Korea by Korean King, wasn’t doing anything good
for Korea.
=< The Germany Paul Georg >======
Paul
Georg was an ambitious Germany who tried to make a fortune working for China. He
was first European man who became a high official of Korea and was deeply
trusted by Chinese government and Korean King but the way he was doing wasn’t
doing anything good for Korea. Or at least that’s how he looked in the eyes of
Independence Party.
(English version has only little information and there are distortions)
=< A little information >========
Paul
Georg was in charge of handling customs at 3 ports in Korea. And he was
managing to extract some money from customs revenue and gave it to Queen Myung.
In 1883, when Paul Georg found out that Korean
treasury was at the risk of bankruptcy, he advised Korean government to produce
money (coin). And at two locations, the coin was produced a lot. To that,
Independence Party fiercely rejected because it could trigger inflation (Like the
value of money drops, and you will have to pay $10,000 for a bottle of milk, and
one million dollars for a beef steak) and could collapse Korean economy.
Independence Party led by Kim Ok-gyun proposed an alternative idea to Korean
Queen and Paul Georg that he could borrow money from Japan. (See? Koreans were
totally counting on generous Japan for their “use”. Where is the character of “Absolute Evil
Country Japan”?)
Kim Ok-gyun’s insistence was correct in
economic-aspect. but in the eyes of both Queen Myung and Paul Georg, Kim
Ok-gyun and the members of Independence Party were nothing but pain in their
asses so that the member of Independence Party were quickly alienated within
the government by Queen Myung.
This traditional Korean political system, a
country privatized by a dictator such as King and Queen, was called “Seido
Politics”. And it is pointed out by many historic researchers today that Seido
Politics was the reason for Joseon Dynasty's extinct. However, this Seido
Politics is still continuing in North Korea today. That’s the genuine
traditional Korean culture which is all corrupt.
=(Seido Politics in Japanese勢道政治)================
=====================================
In June 1883, Kim Ok-gyun visited Japan 3rd time with a
petition written by Korean King.
Japanese high officials were generously telling Kim Ok-gyun that if he brought
a petition written by Korean King, Japan could lend money. However, the amount
of money Korean King requested in the petition was huge $30,000 which was the
annual budget for Korea.
Japan’s annual budget back then was
$500,000. So it was huge (17% of Japan’s annual budget) for Japan.
Therefore, because Korea wasn’t an important
country for Japan in the first place, in addition to the fact that there was
almost no chance the huge loan could be paid off under the corrupt and unstable
country Korea, the request didn't get approval from Japanese government.
Then, Kim Ok-gyun sought for help from
France and US but both countries didn't lend money to Korea.
Kim ended up returning to Korea with empty
hands in a huge disappointment in May of 1884.
=<Circumstances>=====================
I
want to stop at this point and tell you this. As you can see, those Koreans who
wanted to make Korea independent from China were asking Japan for help and they
thought they could borrow money from Japan. However, even for generous Japan,
there was no reason to help or lend money to Korea while sacrificing its own
budget because Japan and Korea were totally irrelevant countries to each other
since ancient time. So Japan was, as one of developed countries like British
and US, looking at Korea as the undeveloped part of China.
The only reason for Japan to help Korea, if
there was, would be this. “Korea could become a new market for Japan” There was
this thought within Japanese high officials. So that Japan was leaning toward
the idea of helping Korea.
For Korea, Japan France British and US were
developed countries so Korea thought developed countries would help poor Korea,
although it was their usual selfish and conceited typical Korean way of
thinking.
=< Gapsin Coup on December 4th 1884 >==============
Only
two years after “Imo coup”, another large coup (riot) triggered again.
It was the second time attempt for Korea to
become independent from China.
This coup called “Gapsin Coup” was
initiated by Independence Party led by Kim Ok-gyun.
The first try “Imo Coup” was a huge failure
attempted by all Koreans (Ryangban and civilians). But this time, Independence Party decided to “use” Japan for their own benefits because they knew that they
couldn’t become independent from overpowering China by themselves.
Here’s how it happened…
