The Last Three Daimyos of Japan in the Joseon Invasion Army

 Yasuharu Wakizaka: One of Shizukatake 7 was the West Army from Sekigahara (West Army vs East Army) but betrayed to East Army... (Shizukatake 7 is a trash gun except for Kato-Yomasa and Fukushima-sanori, so don't look good at me.) Yoshitsu Otani (Higayoshi...) from Sekigahara.This is the guy who followed Hideaki and attacked Yoshitsugu. (Hideaki = responsible for 20% of the West) 

Hideo Ukida: One of the five most powerful forces in the Toyotomi regime that Hideyoshi loved so much that he treated them like a son.So he was also commander-in-chief during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. He's not very good at commanding combat.In Sekigahara, they fought against the East's Fukushima, and they fought a neck-and-neck battle with three times as many troops -_- Stupidly... Still, despite the defeat of the West, the traitors Hideaki said they would kill him with their own hands, and the retainers finally stopped him. The family was destroyed by the defeat of Sekigahara and lived in exile for the rest of their lives. 

Konishi Yukinaga: I was a long-term man who came in and out of the Ukida family as a child and became acquainted with Hideyoshi, who was close to the Ukida family, and was mainly in charge of administrative affairs and distribution. My father was a merchant, so he was more capable than a battle. He was the vanguard during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592.In Sekigahara, they fought with the West.We fought well, but Hideaki betrayed us and ran away.He had to commit suicide as an armed man, but he was arrested and killed because of his desperate Christianity.The Pope mourned after his death.

Merchants of the Han River and Hanyang, Joseon in the 18th century

 With the development of sea roads and ports in the 18th century, goods produced in various regions of the country gathered in Hanyang through the Han River and then dispersed through the Han River again. The Han River flowing from Gangwon-do to the West Sea, especially the river flowing around Hanyang from Gwangnaru to Yanghwajin, was called Gyeonggang, and commercial activities in this Gyeonggang area were the most active. In Gyeonggang River, the so-called Han River, Yongsan River, and Seogang River were the core. The southern part of Namsan Mountain to Noryangjin was called Hangang River, the western part of Noryangjin to Maponaru was called Yongsangang River, and the western part of Maponaru to Yanghwaru was called Seogang. Around the Gyeonggang River, the shipbuilding industry was also developed, and at that time, there were shipyards boasting excellent technology on Bamseom Island. Gyeonggang merchants, who connected the nation's commercial districts through sea transportation and water transportation, had excellent navigation skills along with shipbuilding techniques. As a result, the number of ships going to and from the Gyeonggang area naturally increased, and the number exceeded 2,000 ships, including small ones. In addition, the size of the ship has gradually grown, and there are about 120 large ships that can carry 1,000 rice. As maritime traffic developed like this, more and more goods were bought and sold, and many people gathered. As a result, the Gyeonggang area of Hanyang in the 18th century suddenly became larger than before. Hanyang, centered on the Han River, grew into a commercial city, and as its scope gradually expanded, new places to exchange goods began to be created around Hanyang. Songpajang Market, the route to the Samnam (Chungcheong, Gyeongsang, Jeolla) area and Yeongdong area, Nuwon Branch in Yangju to the northeast area, and Songwoo Branch in Pocheon were new exchange places. Among them, Songpa, which was the hub of transportation where two waterways leading up and downstream of the Han River and land routes to the east and southern regions met, was the most notable distribution hub. The merchants of Songpajang held a playground to attract people, which is "Songpa Sandae Nori." Another distribution hub near Hanyang, the Nuwon branch in Yangju, also held a "Yangju Byeolsandae Nori" to attract customers. The development of commerce has brought great changes to the lives of the people of the Joseon Dynasty, who lived without leaving their land for generations. When I went to the market, I watched strange things and heard various news. In the 18th century, the customs of commerce changed enough to go to both heads of the peninsula and bargain. Hanyang's market was designated and created by the state when the Joseon Dynasty moved from Kaesong to Hanyang, and commercial transactions within Hanyang's capital have been centered on market traders since the early Joseon Dynasty. There were special rights and obligations in the city, but in addition to the obligation to dedicate goods to the country, they had the privilege of not being able to conduct commerce unless they were market merchants in Hanyang. In other words, all goods traded in Hanyang were purchased at once at Sijeon and then distributed again through Sijeon as retail or wholesale. In the case of violating this, it was strictly prohibited because it was called a difficult war. This is the "money war zone" that regulates the city war. Hanyang's Gyeonggang area and Songpajang were also subject to regulation because they were called difficulties. However, the demand of Hanyang people cannot be met by the old times alone. As the volume of agricultural products increased, the number of marketplaces increased to about 1,000, and with the implementation of the Daedong Law, the population of Hanyang increased rapidly as even people without land could sell their products in Hanyang. While Seoul's population and trading volume were not up to par with the increased market price, Nanjeon merchants, or free merchants, made huge amounts of money by creating a new distribution system that bought and sold goods directly over Xijeon merchants. As the power of free merchants grew, King Jeongjo abolished the controversial Geumnanjeon Hall for decades since the reign of King Yeongjo. In the end, rowing also recognized the power of newly grown free merchants.

the evils of Indian Islam

 Islam's belligerence and barbarity - India's serious Muslim problem, and every time you open your mouth, you say crusade Islam is a religion of peace, and you'll have to see what they're doing. Islam, which has invaded a country of normal people, destroyed religion, slaughtered it, and left its remnants to do all sorts of harm to India... No matter how good an Indian is at heart, I won't put up with it any more... They're going to take out a rock with a rolled-on stone. I think we need to understand why Islam is a catastrophe. Of course, there's a dogma who's brother to a dogma.   I hope you know that the religion of Gaeslam is more than this religion because you're telling the truth well, because you're talking about prohibiting rituals in Korea. I hope this trash religion will be eradicated soon. There is a conflict that cannot be easily resolved even in India, which is under the slogan of "unification in diversity," and in fact lives in such harmony. It is a confrontation between Muslims and most Hindus in India. It may be well known that the cause of the most brutal and harrowing war in history is mostly due to religious conflicts. India also suffered the greatest ordeal from religious problems and is still experiencing them. It was the Mughal Empire that Muslims invaded and occupied northern India in the Middle Ages, and the conflict between Muslims and Hindus continues until this moment when the Mughal Empire stepped down. Upon independence from the British colony, Indian independence hero Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated. The reason was the conflict between Islam and Hinduism. Eventually, India was separated by the separation of Muslims from Pakistan. Subsequently, eastern Bangladesh was followed by independence by Muslims. But the conflict is not over here. Sporadic fighting over the territorial rights of Kashmir has continued in recent years, and terrorism has been carried out throughout India. In 1994, a massive shell explosion in 17 Mumbai locations in one minute killed millions of people, killed President Rajio Gandhi in a bombing, and a recent clash in Ayutthaya, India's Hindu holy city, killing thousands. It is noteworthy that the attack on Muslims against Hindus is almost one-sided. Ayutthaya is a traditional Hindu holy place, where King Baba, the first king of the Mughal Empire founded by Muslims, once stayed here for a while. Muslims have called for the construction of a monument to King Baba in Ayutthaya to commemorate this. The problem is that they want to tear down Hindu temples and build Muslim monuments on them.  Naturally, there has been a huge conflict and the embers remain unresolved. Hindus in India do not deny or reject Islam. At least in appearance. Originally, Hinduism itself was a polytechnic image, so there is no exclusivity for other religions. Hindus also believe in Buddha and Jesus. Of course, Allah does not deny it. But the Muslim argument is different. They demand a complete Muslimization throughout India. Currently, the Muslim population in India is only 12% of the total population. In fact, this figure has tremendous implications. Of all the religions currently on Earth, Islam has the strongest propagation power. In history, no country has been ruled by Islam for more than 100 years and has not progressed in Islam. However, even after 500 years of rule by the Muslim Mughal Empire, only 12% of India returned to Islam. That is not to say that Hindus in India actively fought against Islam. When Islam ruled, it was recognized as it was. And after the Muslim retreat, it was returned to Hinduism. It is indeed a frightening potential. Then, how is it possible to attack Hindus, which account for only 12% of Muslims? The answer can be found in the mafia and terrorism. There is also a powerful night president mafia in India. And the power is beyond the imagination of the general public. These Indian mafias, mostly Muslims, are active in large cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai, and some even say that it is the Muslim mafia force that moves India. They hold most of Mumbai's commercial districts, especially the fact that 80% of Mumbai's core commercial district, Kolaba, is owned by Pakistanis linked to the mafia. Indian mafias are said to be mobilizing huge funds to mobilize politicians and some police, and are sometimes reported to be deeply involved in political terrorism and arms trafficking. It has been a long time since such a conflict, crouched inside India, which seems only peaceful for a moment, has become India's biggest concern. Attention is focusing on what kind of situation India's traditional Hindus will face in the future, with Muslim mafia forces dreaming of becoming Muslim throughout India and Pakistan's challenge. As expected, no religion, political power, or force will conquer Hinduism rather than occupy India. In a way, Hinduism is a part of life because it has no substance. Perhaps right now, India's radical Muslims are working alone to conquer the unidentified Hindu religion. (See "Is India a Kingdom of God")

Korea's First Public Opinion Poll During the Sejong Period of the Joseon Dynasty

 -The nation's first opinion poll conducted in the 12th year of King Sejong's reign was conducted in 1430, the 12th year of King Sejong's reign. The king's order was the will of heaven and an unconventional policy was implemented to ask for the opinions of the people in the Joseon Dynasty, when it was like a law. There is no record of the method of polling during the Sejong period, but it is presumed that the official visited the people and asked for opinions and collected them one by one by one. The poll, conducted during the reign of King Sejong, asked the public for and against the implementation of the "public law," a new tax law that requires people to pay the same tax regardless of land quality, good harvests or poor harvests. The poll was conducted on most farming households, which took as long as five months. It was a large-scale poll involving a total of 172,648 people, including the heads of the government and the heads of each province as well as ordinary people. According to the results compiled by Hojo, 98657 people were in favor and 7,4149 people were in favor, which was about 57% of the people surveyed. And nationwide, Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do regions had a lot of approval, while areas where the land was dry and not greasy, such as Hamgyeong-do and Pyeongan-do, had high opposition. The opinions of the government were different from those of the people, so the people were generally opposed. The reason was that it was unfair to pay the same tax regardless of the quality of land or the poor harvest of farming, and that the national treasury would be poor with a tax of 10 heads per grain. What is interesting is that even among officials, pros and cons differed depending on their status. While most officials under three items were in favor like the people, senior officials above Panseo, who had the right to decide on national policy, were opposed. Implementing a new tax law meant new measurements of land. Therefore, high-ranking officials, worried that the hidden land would be revealed through this process, opposed the implementation of the public law. According to the records of July 15, 2012, Sejong said, "If the people are not good, they cannot implement it." Sejong was already well aware that landy maintenance and officials would oppose the new tax law, so he wanted to borrow the voice of the people to enforce it. This poll shows the true face of Sejong, who knew what the people's will was and tried to engage in politics with the help of the people. The reason why Sejong was able to implement the construction method despite the opposition of his subjects was that there were more farmers who could pay taxes. Until the Goryeo Dynasty, field farming exceeded 80% of the entire land, and it was common to farm every one or two years. Then, in the Joseon Dynasty, most of the land was changed to the serial farming method, which farms nonstop every year. In addition, from the end of the Goryeo Dynasty to the early Joseon Dynasty, reclamation projects and wilderness reclamation projects were actively carried out, increasing farmland. In addition, Sejong distributed developed farming and serial farming methods in Gyeongsang, Jeolla, and Chungcheong regions to areas with poor soil quality. To this end, in the 12th year of King Sejong's reign, the first Korean agricultural book, Agriculture Directs, was compiled. Agricultural Directs is a book made by collecting only the wise farming methods of experienced farmers in each village across the country. Through this book, Sejong hoped that agricultural technology across the country would reach the same level by helping the people suffering from barren land and spreading developed farming methods in Jeolla and Gyeongsang provinces across the country. However, when conservative farmers did not believe anything else except what they had experienced and harvested, Sejong planted the first grain of land under the auspices of Gyeongbokgung Palace and cultivated it himself according to the direct theory of farming. As a result, King Sejong was convinced of the effectiveness of farming directions as he harvested almost several times more than the amount reported. What was newly confirmed after publishing the farming logic was that the appropriate time was essential to increase agricultural productivity. Accordingly, Sejong ordered the development of various scientific devices that can measure the time and seasons of Korea, making it a sundial in the 19th year of King Sejong. This watch was an instrument that could tell the season as well as the time. In addition, in Korea's climate, where spring drought is severe, farming was determined by how to use rainfall and irrigation water, so in the 23rd year of King Sejong, a rain gauge that can measure the amount of rain was invented. The production of these astronomical scientific instruments had a great influence on the increase in agricultural productivity, resulting in a four-fold increase in productivity compared to the end of the Goryeo Dynasty. Agriculture was the foundation of all industries during the Joseon Dynasty. Therefore, during the farming season, the king's travel was reduced, and the government office banned lawsuits. Moreover, since most of the country's taxes were dependent on farmers, kings and bureaucrats could not help but pay keen attention to farming. Therefore, it was only natural to ask farmers for their opinions on the new tax law through public opinion polls. It was in 1444, 14 years after the poll, that the public law was finally finalized as an official tax law. However, even after the construction law was finalized, it was not implemented nationwide due to many unexpected objections. Despite opposition from his subjects, Sejong pushed ahead with the construction method nationwide, developing farming methods and devices that could increase agricultural productivity. Starting from Jeolla-do in the 30th year of King Sejong's reign, Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do in King Sejo's reign, and Gangwon-do in the 9th year of King Seongjong's reign were implemented And in the 20th year of King Seongjong's reign and 59 years after the public opinion survey, the construction law was finally implemented nationwide after Hamgyeong-do Island. Although it had various problems until it was implemented, the construction method helped farmers improve their livelihoods, and the nation's finances became stronger due to the increase in stockpiles than ever before. It would have been possible to create a brilliant culture of the 15th century Sejong period because of this basis for the people and the country to find stability.

Immortal Master Yi Sun-shin 4. The Japanese Invasion of Korea broke out (2)

 Since the beginning of the history of the Korean people, there have been numerous foreign invasions, but each time, our ancestors have overcome national difficulties with the will of the hot country and extraordinary fighting spirit. There are countless heroes of the country who have displayed outstanding leadership in every national crisis, but no one can dispute the fact that Yi Sun-shin is the greatest hero, hero, loyalist, and martyr. Yi Sun-shin was the best war hero in Korean history, and when the country and its rivals were on the verge of collapse due to unprecedented disasters such as the Imjin War and Jeongyu Jae-ran, he commanded the Joseon Navy and won consecutive battles with his beliefs and extraordinary strategies. He was born as the son of a poor scholar and was a great teacher of the people who consistently maintained loyalty, humanity, and patriotism despite all kinds of hardships during his short life of 54 years. "It is hard for the British to admit that Admiral Yi Sun-shin of Joseon is an excellent commander comparable to that of Horatio Nelson, but it is undeniable that Yi Sun-shin is the best admiral in the East," said Maj. G.A. Billard, who was the principal of the Royal Naval Academy. Dr. Ray Huang, a Chinese-American historian and professor at Washington State University in the U.S., praised Yi Sun-shin as one of the three greatest war heroes in Oriental history, Chen Hundao of the Vietnamese Dai Biei Dynasty, and Wen Sung-hwan of the Ming Dynasty. In light of the situation in and out of the country today, especially the political and economic crisis that is once again missing, Lee Sun-shin is reminded of the fact that he was a CEO with extraordinary leadership in addition to the known master of saving the country. In order to survive infinite competition with powerful countries in the face of a new turbulent era of the 21st century, we will have to find the wisdom of overcoming the national crisis through the leadership of Seongwoong Lee Soon-shin, who was greater than any great man in East and West. ◆ Like the Japanese military, which went north like an uninhabited border, when the naval forces were self-destructed at the beginning of the war, and Busan and Dongnae-seong collapsed one after another, the Japanese army landed with a ring in its mouth. Following the first army of Yukinaga Konishi, the second army of Kiyomasa Kato on April 18 and the third army of Nagamasa Kuroda on April 19 were constantly flooded to Busan and Gimhae, the bridgehead. A large army of 52,500 men completed the landing operation in just six days. In the 16th century, when there were no landing equipment, it was impossible to land 10,000 people a day with essential military supplies such as weapons and food without meticulous operational planning and training, and this was the result of Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilizing 200,000 troops in Kyushu. On April 19, the vanguard of the 4th and 7th armies landed in Busan, and the follow-up troops continued to land. The Korean Strait between Busan and Tsushima became like a dedicated route for the Japanese invasion forces, and there was constant traffic of transport ships carrying Japanese troops and equipment. On 17 April, Konishi Yukinaga's First Army captured Yangsan and invaded Ulsan one after another. Lee Gak, a Gyeongsangjwa soldier who had a military camp in Ulsan, first sent 1,000 concubines and beets and fled. So those who died unjustly were innocent people. The Japanese troops continued to move northward, sweeping Eonyang, Gimhae, Gwangju, and Changwon. Meanwhile, Kim Sung-il, who served as Gyeongsangwoo soldier instead of old and sick Cho Dae-gon, heard the news that a war broke out on his way to his post. He was a person who falsely reported that there would be no war after visiting Japan as an envoy. Nevertheless, he posted a ridiculous false report, saying, "There are only 400 enemy ships, and there are only 10,000 troops on board each ship." It was the largest invasion by foreign enemies since the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, and the quality of a person appointed as a border general was this pathetic. The Japanese troops, who succeeded in the landing operation, divided into three routes and started northward. Konishi Yukinaga's 1st army took the middle road to Chungju via Yangsan, Miryang, Cheongdo, Daegu, Andong, Seonsan, Sangju, and Mungyeong, and Kiyomasa Kato's 2nd army took the left road to join the 1st army in Chungju via Ulsan, Gyeongju, Yeongcheon, and Gunwi. In the meantime, it's YOSHI KUKIThe Japanese navy, led by Kha and Takadora Todo, guarded the sea and operated to neutralize the power of the Joseon navy. It was on April 17, three days later, that the Joseon Dynasty received a report of invasion by the Japanese army, through Janggye sent by Park Hong, the Gyeongsangjwajusa. Subsequently, Kim Sung-il, who changed his position from Gyeongsangwoo soldier to Choyusa, and Kim Soo-soo, a patrolman in Gyeongsang-do, rose. Only then did the mediation realize that the situation was serious and began to take measures. Shortly after the opening of the war, Kim Su received a report from Gyeongsangwoo Byeongyeong in Jinju. He immediately ran to Dongnae, but after the castle had already fallen, he returned to Jinju and sent a general to the court, and on the 18th, he ordered Won Gyun, the Gyeongsang Usu Temple, to mobilize battleships and troops to attack the enemy. However, Won Gyun was surprised to see the power of the enemy's forces, so he did not even think about fighting, and threw all his artillery and bullets into the sea and dispersed 10,000 soldiers. Then he fled with only six military ships. In the early days of the war, the so-called Wonkyun Yongjang theory, which claims that Won Gyun, who was in a hurry to escape from the nearby Gyeongsangjwasuyeong by burying a huge amount of power in Gyeongsang Udo, fought with a small Japanese fleet near Gadeokdo Island, is just a historical distortion. Kim Soo also sent a notice to other villages to evacuate the people to the leaders and to gather the soldiers at the scheduled gathering place according to the Jeseung strategy. He also informed nearby military commanders of the Japanese invasion. This notice was delivered to Yi Sun-sin of Jwasuyeong, Jeolla Province on April 19. ◆ The Joseon royal court, which was confused, tried to punish Kim Sung-il by taking issue with a false report that there would be no Japanese invasion. Kim Seong-il was appointed as a Gyeongsangwoo soldier and arrested by Geumbudosa, who came down from Seoul, and Yoo Sung-in, Haman-gun, was appointed as a successor. The situation turned around when Kim Sung-il reached Jiksan, Chungcheong-do, while being arrested and transported to Seoul. Lee San-hae and Yoo Seong-ryong, who were in control of the regime at the time, persuaded Seonjo to pardon him for his crime, and Gyeongsang-woo also ordered him to collect public sentiment and gather troops to fight the enemy. The government held daily meetings and took measures. At that time, Yeonguijeong was Lee San-hae, Left Ui-jeong was Yoo Seong-ryong, Right Ui-jeong was Lee Yang-won, and Byeongjo Panseo was Hong Yeo-soon. Yoo Seong-ryong also served as a book of Yi Jo Pan. King Seonjo accepted Yoo Seong-ryong's suggestion, and instead of Hong Yeo-soon, who did not know the military, he used Kim Eung-nam as the military governor, and Shim Chung-gyeom as the military governor. In addition, after accepting Daegan's suggestion, Yuseongryong was appointed as the provincial inspector and Kim Eung-nam as the deputy inspector, respectively, to lead the war. The most urgent thing was to prevent the Japanese troops from advancing northward as if they were going to the uninhabited landscape. The first defense strategy was to prevent the Japanese army from crossing Mungyeong Saejae Pass and Chupungryeong Pass, which are natural fortresses. If the two key points are crossed, it was obvious that the Japanese military would approach the capital city of Seoul in a single stroke. King Seonjo appointed Lee Il as a martyr and ordered him to go down with the military and defeat the Japanese in Sangju. But what's surprising is that there was no army to lead to the battlefield. For this job, he tried to gather 300 soldiers to compete, but there were no soldiers that could be used even if he gathered for three days. Therefore, he was forced to gather soldiers and follow them, and then he left first. In the royal court, Seong Eung-gil was used as a left guard, and the Japanese troops heading north on the left road leading to Gyeongju, Yeongcheon, Andong, Yeongju, and Jukryeong were hit in Jukryeong, and the landscaping was used as right guard to take the right road leading to Gimhae, Haman, Geumsan, and Chupungryeong. In addition, a toilet was appointed for Mungyeong Saejae Pass, and Yu Geuk-ryang was appointed as the head of the group in Chupungryeong Pass to defend. Subsequently, King Seonjo appointed Shin Lip, who was famous as the best master of Joseon at the time, as Dosun Byeonsa Temple, to protect Chungju, where left and middle roads meet. It was a strategy to prevent the Japanese military from moving north in Chungju if both the Joryeong and Chupungryeong were breached. Of course, it was an excellent strategy if it went the way it was. Shin Rip left with 80 soldiers using Kim Yeo-mul as his official. In the meantime, the first Japanese army captured Miryang on April 19, crossed the Nakdonggang River through Andong on the 23rd, passed through Seonsan on the 24th, and advanced to the outskirts of Sangju on the 25th. The 2nd Army passed Eonyang on the 19th, Gyeongju on the 21st, Yeongcheon on the 22nd, and the 3rd Army swept Yeongsan, Changnyeong, and Hyeonpung following Gimhae on the 20th and Changwon on the 21st, and trampled Seongju on the 27th. However, most of the responsible leaders who had to fight the enemy for their lives and protect the people and Gangto were busy running away, and all they said was to do was to run away on their own. Therefore, the only people who died at the stabbing of the Japanese army were innocent people, and their miserable screams shook heaven and earth. ◆ Lee Il, a martyr to the defeat of the Tangeum Battle, crossed Saejae Pass and arrived in Mungyeong, but the castle was empty. When I entered Sangju on April 23, Pastor Kim Hae-ri said that he had not heard from him after going out to greet Sunbyeonsa Temple, and he was guarding Judge Kwon Gil alone, but he gathered about 800 people, saying that he was a soldier, most of whom had never received military training. The next day, the 1st Army's vanguard, led by Konishi Yukinaga and Soyoshitomo, advanced to Jangcheon, 20 ri south of Sangju, and camped. When one of the people living in Gaeryeong rushed to inform him of this, Yi Il locked him in prison, and the next day, he was cut off for disturbing the public's feelings, and took the people to Bukcheon for training. This incident did not even place sentries around the position, but shortly after a Japanese patrol appeared and examined the movements, the enemy's attack began soon. They were soldiers who had no proper weapons and were not trained soldiers. Lee Il's troops, who are not even regular soldiers, quickly scattered, and the Japanese army shot after the fleeing Joseon people. Lee Il, who managed to save his life and run away, fled to Chungju beyond Joryeong after posting a general plan that he had lost in Mungyeong. In addition, the Japanese army advanced to Mungyeong without a single resistance and occupied the castle. It was April 26th. On the same day, Dosunbyeonsa Temple Sinrip arrived in Chungju. At that time, Pastor Chungju Lee Jong-jang was waiting for him with 8,000 soldiers from all over Chungcheong-do, most of whom were mounted soldiers. Shin Lip scouted a bird near Chungju. Kim Yeo-mul, an official of the company, and other staff members suggested that he defend Sae-jae, but Shin Rip ignored it and did not listen. Saejae was a natural fortress that could block 1,000 enemy soldiers if one bookkeeper blocked it. It was a mercenary tactic that was not like a "master of the time" where such absurd tactics came from to wait for the enemy to come safely without keeping the key points like Saejae. Yukina Konishi, who sent a scurvy to check the bird's nest carefully, said with a big smile at first when he heard the report of the scurvy that Saejae had no ambush in the bird's nest. "What a dull long life. If Shin Rip, the best master of Joseon, is like me, it would be worth knowing the level of other Joseon generals." As expected, on April 28, Shin Rip came out of Chungju with a military service and hit Tangeumdae in Dalcheon, 10 ri north of Chungju, upstream of the Namhangang River. In the old days, it was a plan to recreate the field of repentance that won the horse-riding battle against the Yeojin people in Hamgyeong-do. However, Tangeumdae Terrace was not a dry field where horseback riding soldiers were good to run. Since it was a wetland along the river, it was a place where even infantry could not run at will, let alone horses. In addition, the battle was not a one-on-one fight with a spear and a sword, but a rifle. However, Shin Rip did not choose such a tactic without knowing that. This is the part of the book Jingbirok by Yoo Seong-ryong. It was right after the government sent Shin Rip and Yi Il to check their defense posture in early Imjin. 'It's been rumored to be cruel and mean from the beginning. He tried to kill people everywhere he went and set up his dignity, so all the chiefs were afraid... ...and they returned to Seoul on April 1st. At this time, Shin Lip came to me as a private house, so I looked at him and asked. "Maybe there will be a war in our country soon. Then you will be in charge of the army. Are you confident that you will be able to defend yourself from the enemy's situation today?" he said casually. "There's nothing to worry about." I said it again. "That's not true. Before, Japanese soldiers had only a short weapon, but now they have a muzzle, how can they be easily seen?" But Shin Rip always spoke in a nonchalant tone. "Why do soldiers say they have a rifle, but it fits every time they shoot?" Shin Lip was like this. Around noon on April 28, 15,000 Japanese soldiers, led by Yukinaga Konishi, surrounded the Shinto army on three sides and launched an attack. Most of the 8,000 Joseon government troops were mounted soldiers, and the river flowed behind them, and more than twice as many enemy troops surrounded three sides, so the Joseon government army would have fought a charge. However, the main weapon of the Japanese army was not a spear and a sword, but a muzzle. As Cho continued to fire, horses and people went out without hesitation. In addition, the horseshoe fell into the swamp and couldn't even move properly. In the meantime, Japanese soldiers rushed in like evil spirits and stabbed, cut, and knocked down the Joseon government army. Shin Lip fought hard by taking out the Hwando and cutting down the enemy soldiers, but it was impossible to recover the already tilted situation. He belatedly realized his mistake and jumped into the Namhangang River, covering his face, and drowned. Kim Yeo-mul, a civil servant, Lee Jong-jang, and Jo Bang-jang, a pastor of Chungju, disappeared due to the dew of the battlefield after Shin Rip. In this massive battle, which took place for the first time since the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, more than 8,000 Joseon government troops were devastated. As a result, Joseon was deprived of all of Gyeongsang-do by the Japanese military only 15 days after the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592.   Hwang Won-gap's Revival Yi Sun-shin Eco Business 2004; Kim Jong-dae's Shin still has 12 warships.

"I'd rather hit my head, but I can never give you an inch of a border." - Lee Jung-ha (1846-1917)

 At the end of the 19th century, Tomun Gamgyesa Lee Joong-ha risked his life against the coercive attitude of the Qing Dynasty to take over the land of Gando by confirming the Tumen River border. However, he became a forgotten figure through the dark history of the colony of Japanese Imperialism era. The newsmaker, which is campaigning for the restoration of Gando, discovered Lee Joong-ha's track record. Through two faded photographs, his imposing majesty, who had been asleep for 100 years, appeared for the first time. The great-grandson, Kyu-young (78) and Kyu-cheong (70), revealed the image of Lee Jung-ha, who was cherished in the family. The photo of Lee Jung-ha, who was sitting in official clothes, was taken in his youth and middle age, although the exact time is unknown. In particular, photographs of young people retain their spirit at that time. Lee Kyu-cheong said, "My great-grandfather often interacted with foreign missionaries, and it is said that the missionary took pictures of my great-grandfather."     In a column of a daily newspaper, Park Kyung-ri, author of the prawn novel "Land," described Lee Joong-ha as a "righteous man" who "hanged his neck to protect the homes of refugees who have already left the country." Lee Joong-ha, who was the deputy governor of Anbyeon in Hamgyeong-do, was appointed as Gamgyesa by the government in 1885. He became a diplomat representing Joseon at the Eulyu Gamgye Dialogue (border talks), which determines the border between Joseon and the Qing Dynasty. Cheong, who had been stationed in Yongsan, Seoul since the Imo War in 1882, claimed to be a permanent state against Joseon. It is said that the power of Cheong was so great that Won Se-gae rode in and out of the palace in a kiln and stood to observe King Gojong. Park Yong-ok, a former professor of history at Sungshin Women's University, said, "The representative of the Qing Dynasty tried to define boundaries very threateningly during the event of the Joseon Dynasty, but he refused to do so, expressing a strong will to protect the country." The Qing Dynasty tried to expel ethnic Koreans from the land of Gando. Korean-Chinese refugees had to choose between naturalizing in Cheong Wa Dae and returning to the south of the Tumen River. Against Cheong Wa Dae's pressure to make the Yalu River-Tumen River a border, he insisted until the end that the Tomun River, which appeared in 1712 in the Jeonggyebi of Baekdusan Mountain, was a tributary of the Songhwa River flowing north, not the Tumen River.   Among them, Deokok, Gawongye, and Jinyoung, representatives of the Blue House, visited the Baekdusan Mountain Jeonggyebi and investigated the source of the controversial river. The investigation prevented the Blue House from working on their claims. In the end, the two countries could not determine their boundaries. In 1887, the Cheong Wa Dae came out with a more high-handed attitude at the Jeongjeong Gamgye negotiation. Even at this time, Lee Joong-ha, who was appointed as a Gamgyesa, ignored the Cheong Wa Dae's demand by saying that he would give up his life. He pretended to make concessions, but he handled them wisely, breaking down the negotiations. Kang Seok-hwa, a professor at Gyeongin National University of Education, said, "It is a great achievement of not reaching a conclusion on territory at the border talks between countries," adding, "I don't know if he did it on purpose, but he was visionary when it comes to territorial issues." It is explained that the territorial issue of Gando could still be valid as a "conflicted area" thanks to the talks at this time when there was no compromise. [Precious data on the claim of Gamgye Diary] It is also a feat of Lee Jung-ha that detailed the details of the negotiations and the site records of the Jeonggyebi-Tomungang through his exploration of Baekdusan Mountain. His [Gamgye Diary] [Gamgyejeonmal] is a valuable resource for the claim of sovereignty over Gando. The Gamgye Diary depicts a situation in which he suffered while exploring Baekdusan Mountain in winter for almost a month in October 1885 with a representative of the Blue House. "On October 17, I went to 30 ri and arrived at the Yupdak of the Jeolpa gunner, and it was dark and I slept. The barracks were very poorly constructed and also had no ondol. The rest of the people and horses who had been fighting the snow all day long waited for dawn in the open air even though they were all frozen. I had a hard night." It was a journey to depart Hoeryong, Hamgyeong-do at the end of September, go to Jeonggyebi of Baekdusan Mountain on October 18th, and arrive at Musan on October 27th again. Lee Joong-ha's bold spirit is revealed in the diary, saying, "It was also plastic because it seemed reluctant to follow slowly." He also wrote several poems during his tour, calmly describing how he felt about climbing Mt. Baekdu after receiving the king's Through Lee Joong-ha's descendants, the press team discovered a vivid anecdote at the time of the visit to the Jeonggyebi Monument in Baekdusan Mountain. This anecdote is included in Lee Joong-ha's account, written by his son Lee Beom-se. When I saw Cheong's Gawon-gye groaning with abdominal pain, I was told to use a pre-prepared pill. However, as the stomachache worsened after taking the medicine, the Cheong Wa Dae representative threatened Lee Joong-ha with a weapon that he had given him poison to kill him. At this time, Lee Joong-ha poured the remaining medicine into his mouth in front of the Cheong Wa Dae representative. When the stomachache subsided the next morning, the Cheong Wa Dae representative reportedly apologized.   Only the traces of the time when it was Tomungamgyesa Temple were revealed, and Lee Jung-ha's appearance was not found anywhere since then. When Iljinhoe insisted on the Korea-Japan merger in 1909, there is a brief record of organizing a national campaign team with Min Young-so and Kim Jong-han, holding a speech at the National Assembly, and attacking the injustice of the Korea-Japan merger. In his tracks since the news team discovered him, he was a beautiful righteous man even from the back. Although he reached the government post of "Gyujanggak Jehak" given to one or two items of Jongjong, he returned to Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do with his son when he lost his country due to the Korea-Japan annexation in 1910. The government gave me 3,000 won as a retirement allowance. But he didn't accept the money. Later, he was awarded a medal to commemorate the merger. He couldn't contain his anger and sent back with a rebuttal. Lee Kyu-cheong, a great-grandson, said, "Later, my great-grandfather was blind and did not receive the marquis given by the Governor-General, and the Japanese put a caterpillar in his eyes to test it," his father said. In 1917, seven years after the annexation of Korea, Lee died without forgetting the anger of losing his country. His tomb is located in Seonsan, Changdae-ri, Yangpyeong-eup, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. His son, Lee Beom-se, was also an upright scholar who continued Lee Jung-ha's will. He was called the "Three Geniuses of Hanyang" along with Lee Si-young and Lee Sang-seol. It is said that he strengthened his friendship by learning theology with them. He passed the examination in the past and went to the government office, but he returned home after the Korea-Japan annexation with his father, Lee Joong-ha. Since then, he has tried to spread his will to resist Japan by serving as president of the [XiXi Ilbo] in Seoul, but the newspaper was soon closed. He also died in 1940 without seeing liberation, and was buried in Seonsan, Changdae-ri, Yangpyeong, alongside his father, Lee Joong-ha.

our ancient clothes

 30% of historical evidence and 70% of imagination when restoring doubles. Clothes make a huge difference in the small atmosphere. If you ask a person who makes a traditional Jjangola costume to make a suit, you can make it a premature martial art. The problem is that 70% of the Korean people's imagination is crude. If you look closely at the painting, the sleeves of the Goguryeo people are wide. If that's summer outfit, I have nothing to say, but it's crazy to wear such wide sleeves on the cold Gaema Plateau. I can only doubt that the martial arts masters who don't care about such details just make it look like they're flapping their clothes. And what we have to suspect here is Oriental painting. Oriental painting is distorted as "artistic" by the artist's style of painting rather than realistic portrayals. What we have to suspect here is that the people who painted Goguryeo murals in the past have learned to paint in China. Just as the ink painting of a suit gives off the smell of a crude jjanggola, it is highly likely that the costumes of the past have been distorted. Of course, even if the clothes have the same structure. Sohae no longer wants to believe in the costumes of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, which have been restored so far. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, considering that the restoration of ancient clothes is a process of 30% and 70% imagination, I hope it will be "Korean that can be eaten in the world." We need a different look from China so that Westerners can see it everywhere and say, "Oh, this is Korean style." You might argue that it's a distortion, but a Chinese man who knows Sohae is a dealer in ancient costumes who worked for a broadcasting station, and he's saying that if it's like the Han Dynasty or the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, most of them use their imagination to make clothes. If it's entertainment, shouldn't we move away from Jjang-gola style and show more Korean sense?
