Anti-Japanese War of Independence and General Ji Cheongcheon of Baeksan Mountain. 1. Enter the Japanese Military Academy. Episode 02.

 In August 1895, Queen Min, who later received the title of Empress Myeongseong, was killed by the Japanese. In addition, in February 1896, when Japanese imperialism conspired to kill even the king of Joseon, there was a Agwanpacheon Stream where King Gojong fled to the Russian legation. As the dynasty was in jeopardy and the fate of the country was extinguished like a candlelight in front of the wind by the invasion of the imperialist powers, the idea of imperialist powers, especially Japan, began to firmly settle in Jicheongcheon's heart. In addition, it became more determined that the forces invading the country must be removed from the land of Joseon. Households without heads of households brought economic difficulties. Accordingly, Ji Cheong-cheon's mother taught Cheonjamun to her son in order to save tuition, and later sent Ji Cheong-cheon to a village school for education from 1894, when she was in her father's three-year life. Meanwhile, the adults of the family discussed that theology would be a great help in the future of the country, discussing sending Ji Cheong-cheon to elementary school, a theology education institution. Ji Unyeong, the Dangsuk of the Jicheongcheon family, said to Ji Cheongcheon's mother like this. "The Thousand Characters and Dongmongseonsup Learning in Seodang are only old studies during this period when Western culture comes in and the country's system changes. Since most of them are busy learning theology, shouldn't Subong also learn theology?" "No matter how important the theology is, we can't let Subong learn about ideas that harm Joseon's tradition." "Now is the time when the strength of national power is more important than tradition. The Western powers threaten this country with new knowledge and strong military power, and in order for us to escape this crisis, we need to learn new studies and cultivate modern intellectuals." Ji Cheong-cheon's mother was conservative and opposed her son to learning theology, but was unable to persuade Ji Un-young to eventually send Ji Cheong-cheon to high school for education. However, due to the economic difficulties of the family, Ji Cheong-cheon had no choice but to put off entering secondary school for a while even if he graduated from elementary school. Thus, Ji Cheong-cheon, who entered the village school again, studied Hanhak again for three years. However, seeing the fate of the country in crisis of wind luck, Jicheongcheon realized that Joseon lagged behind Western powers and Japanese imperialism, and thought it was inevitable to learn new studies to overcome the invasion of powers. Therefore, he entered Baejae Academy without his mother's knowledge, who had a negative position on modern educational institutions that provided education far from Joseon's tradition, and began his studies. Since Baejae Hakdang advocated Christian ideas and paid free tuition to convey modern studies, Ji Cheong-cheon was able to attend Baejae Hakdang without telling his mother. Already in March 1904, Japan forced and established the Korea-Japan Protocol, a treaty that allowed Japan to take control of security and accept Joseon's military important points. In November of the following year, the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 was forcibly signed to deprive Korea of diplomatic rights and establish the Joseon Tonggambu. It was a time when the existence of the country was at the forefront. Baejae Hakdang conducted not only theological education but also the national salvation movement along with missionary activities. Thus, Seo Jae-pil, a teacher at Baejae Academy, graduates Syngman Rhee, and Ju Si-kyung established the Independence Association to enlighten the people, young people, and students and to strengthen the power of the state. In this trend, Ji Cheong-cheon attended the Hwangseong Christian Youth Association and devoted himself to activities such as the Rural Enlightenment Movement, liberal arts lectures, and physical education guidance. In late September 1905, there was a secret meeting of young people to discuss countermeasures against the dark future and situation of Joseon, and many students from Baejae Academy also participated. About 100 people attended this secret meeting held at the church. Ji Cheong-cheon, who attended at the age of 17, said, "We are young people in Joseon." Until the end, let's unite and fight for the Korean people," he gave an enthusiastic lecture. After the meeting, Ji Cheong-cheon also attended the meeting at the recommendation of a school teacher because there was a youth council. The contents of the discussion at this meeting were to find practical measures for the country. In other words, the Japanese colonial interference in diplomatic internal affairs intensified day by day, and the government was dominated by foreign-dependent forces, and it was a meeting to find practical ways to save the country to overcome them. At this place, Ji Cheong-cheon shouted in front of many people with a passionate heart. "I'd like to say this to many teachers. There is no other way to solve this difficult problem than to risk the lives of young people as a result of discussions at the Youth Association, so our young people should hold guns and knives instead of books and pencils," a teacher replied to Ji Cheong-cheon's remarks. "Now, our Joseon is a weak and armed nation, so how can we fight the Japanese enemy with guns and knives?" Ji Cheong-cheon shouted loudly, angry at the gloomy reality of his country and the fact that it is difficult to arm ourselves against the enemy's troops invading his country. "If you don't have a gun, it's the way of a young man of Joseon to knock down a Japanese enemy with two fists and die!" When Jicheongcheon Stream collapsed on the spot and wailed, the hearts of the country's salvation were boiling in the hearts of the various young people who attended the meeting. However, the announcement of Ji Cheong-cheon's claim of "the armedization of Joseon youth" soon spread, and Ji Cheong-cheon's mother learned that he was attending Baejae Academy. A few days after the meeting, my mother quietly called Ji Cheong-cheon to sit down. I heard that Baejae Hakdang teaches Christian ideas and provides education far from our Joseon tradition. Why did you cheat on this mother and secretly attend the school?" Ji Cheong-cheon bowed his head and opened his mouth to respond to her mother's solemn scolding. "It is true that Christian ideas hurt Joseon's tradition, but Korea was humiliated by Japan's coercion because it was too late to open up Western cultures and did not modernize with closed policies. Japan is invading our country armed with new weapons, but our troops are still in old-fashioned weapons and tactics, so how can it be pathetic? Soja acquired knowledge of theology and went to Baejae Academy to find a way to confront the powers, but if your mother doesn't want it, I'll quit Baejae Academy right away." Ji Cheong-cheon decided to quit school according to his mother's will, who was opposed to Christian thought, and dropped out with permission after telling the teachers of Baejae Academy the circumstances. However, there were rumors among the students of Baejae Academy that Ji Chung-cheon's remarks at the youth meeting at the time were problematic to Japanese government officials and were expelled. As Ji Cheong-cheon said at the youth meeting during Baejae Academy, he already recognized that Joseon could not defeat foreign invasion unless it was a war by armed forces. Accordingly, Ji Cheong-cheon, who quit Baejae Academy, became a military official, proudly defeated foreign powers, and decided to protect the independence of the state and the survival of the people. Thus, he entered the Korean Empire Military Military Academy in 1907 and took his first step as a soldier. At that time, there were meaningful young people such as Ji Cheong-cheon, who entered the military for the wealthy army of their country, by the Yohong of the times that they had to prevent the invasion of Western powers and achieve independence. Despite this atmosphere of a non-governmental school, Ji Cheong-cheon developed the will of the country of salvation without coveting his post-graduation status. He also openly expressed his will to fellow cadets of the private school. If I don't defeat the Japanese soldiers residing in Seoul, misfortune will come to my country, so the purpose of the country is to receive training now and learn how to deal with them. There is no action without a goal, so the duty of our soldiers is to defeat external enemies and protect our country's freedom and safety by national independence." Military schools trained tactics, military systems, weapons, topography, horsemanship, and martial arts, and educated foreign languages and hygiene to cultivate knowledge and qualities as military officials in the future. Through this training, Jicheongcheon cultivated basic knowledge as an independent. Along with these practical training, Ji Cheong-cheon did not neglect to solidify his mental attitude to maintain his country's independence. He attended the lecture and gave a speech to his colleagues about the career of the nation as follows. "I want to talk because I am a soldier of the Han Chinese. It is necessary to transcend and break down all past customs. Look at Daewongun's ten years of assembly in the past. Didn't we defeat warships in the United States and France without a doubt and defeat strong opponents like him? We must inherit the great national spirit. Now, the Fever has approached our strong soil to gain only their interests as a good excuse for debt to our Korea, whether it is enlightenment or trade. In fact, we have not crossed tens of millions of miles of sea for our enlightenment or social development. How can we not need unity as soldiers? It is not the time to find opposition from partisans or ancestors. It's not time to covet honor or status. This gun and knife we hold are the symbols of the best power to defeat external enemies for the peace and safety of the people in my country. We'll have to keep this in mind and keep it in mind." The number of comrades who learned of his patriotic spirit increased every day. However, the fate of the country gradually became precarious like a candle standing in front of the wind. On July 24, 1907, the Japanese forced the Korea-Japan New Convention to explicitly dissolve the army, and on July 31, it finally officially ordered the dissolution of the army.

In August 1895, Queen Min, who later received the title of Empress Myeongseong, was killed by the Japanese. In addition, in February 1896, when Japanese imperialism conspired to kill even the king of Joseon, there was a Agwanpacheon Stream where King Gojong fled to the Russian legation.
