Chapter 955 Zhang Hanqing¡¯s Thoughts

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The war between the two major countries is destined to be a protracted war. This is a point that the top leaders of the People's Party have long agreed on, but the Japanese political circles have always avoided it.

    It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t understand it, the truth is actually very simple.  But if you don¡¯t give it a try, where will the miracle be?  You must know that the Yamato nation has always prided itself on being a country that creates miracles.  This was true in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, and the same was true in the Russo-Japanese War.

    After the victory in Seoul, Ji Yiqiao divided the Korean army into two and established a frontline headquarters and a support headquarters.  The former, as the name suggests, is the main force in combat; the latter is called support, and actually does everything except direct combat to support the combat capabilities at the front.  In this way, the combat targets of four armies changed from the Japanese army to the Korean puppet army, leaving only seven armies with more than 300,000 people under the jurisdiction of the frontline headquarters.

    Since the established strategy has created a confrontation between North and South Korea, it is natural for the Korean People's Army to switch to strategic defense. At this time, consolidating the rear becomes a major issue, which is not yet a prominent issue during wartime.

    Japan has ruled Korea for more than 20 years. Although it aroused Koreans to oppose Japan, it also cultivated many Korean traitors. The Imperial Alliance Army is an example.  These people still controlled the northern corner of Korea after Japan's defeat and became a cancer on Korea's stability.

    In Zhang Hanqing¡¯s view, it is not difficult to defeat Japan, even if it increases its troops.  The top priority of the North Korean Affairs Committee is to stabilize order in North Korea, incorporate the North Korean-occupied areas into China's economic construction system, and use North Korea's unique geographical location to build a security barrier for Northeast China.

    At this time, it became very necessary to establish a pro-China government, so the military government came into being.

    The so-called military government was created by Zhang Hanqing.  When the Battle of Seoul was in full swing, Zhang Hanqing had already made plans with Zhang Zuolin and other high-level officials to establish a local Korean government under his control to stabilize the economy and industry, and to restore transportation that had been nearly paralyzed by the war, in order to provide support to the front line.  Blood Transfusion creates a convenient and safe environment.

    Under this circumstance, the North Korean military government was established in silence. The chairman of the military government was Kim Sam-soon, a Korean with a low reputation, rather than Lee, who was elected by the so-called "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea" in Shanghai.  Chengwan.

    The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was a government-in-exile established in Shanghai, China in 1919 after the annexation of Japan and South Korea on the Korean Peninsula. Its offices were located at No. 4 Puqingli, Malang Road (today's Madang Road) in the French Concession, known to the outside world.  "Korea Expatriate Office".  At the first meeting of the Provisional Government Representatives, the (Provisional Constitution) was adopted and Rhee Syngman was elected President of the Provisional Government.

    For the Korean people who have an extremely strong national spirit, the interim government is like their "temple of the national independence movement". After all, it has witnessed the history of blood and tears of the unremitting struggle of the exiled predecessors.

    ??However, the government of the Republic of China has not recognized it, and few countries in the world have paid attention to it. After all, compared with the relationship with a big country like Japan, the influence of a so-called government-in-exile with no roots and power is minimal.

    When the Korean War started, President Lee excitedly announced to his followers: "The liberation of Korea is just around the corner." Syngman Rhee, who has lived in China for a long time, strongly felt the rise of China and was convinced that the People's Party would  and the People's Army are fully capable of driving the Japanese out of the Korean Peninsula.

    So he waved flags and cheers for the Korean People's Army on various occasions, just so that he could take advantage of China's power after the war and effortlessly complete the great cause of national restoration.

    But, would Zhang Hanqing let him get something for nothing so easily?  With the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers and military expenditures of billions of dollars, will the country be handed over to him casually?  He has to find someone who can listen to Chinese, or simply achieve what he has always wanted to do: annex North Korea.

    Korea has always been a vassal state of China. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Wei's Korea and established the four counties of Lelang, Zhenfan, Lintun, and Xuantu, the Datong River Basin in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula has always been the ruling area of ??counties established by China.  Since the Tang Dynasty, China has been the suzerain state of Korea, and there are no obstacles in terms of legal principles and people's hearts.  But at that time, North Koreans were still living in what is now North Korea.

    By the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong¡¯s reign in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1762), the Qing Dynasty implemented a ban policy on the Northeast.  The Yalu River and Tumen River border areas between China and North Korea are particularly targeted, and people from the two countries who cross the river privately are punished with death.

    The embargo policy has left the land in the Northeast, especially in the border areas between China and North Korea, barren for a long time. It has failed to be reclaimed in time, and it has failed to station a large number of troops and establish extensive administrative agencies.  In the tenth year of Tongzhi (1871), the Qing Dynasty began to abolish the ban policy on Northeast China and implement a real-border immigration policy.  However, North Korean border residents are still strictly prohibited from crossing the border in the China-North Korea border area.

    However, the northern border of Korea suffered successive severe natural disasters from 1860 to 1870 AD.  In order to make a living, North Korean people, especially those on Pingan Road and Huanghai Road along the Yalu and Tumen rivers, illegally crossed the Yalu and Tumen rivers and went to the other side of the country to reclaim wasteland and settle in the Liaoning and Jilin provinces of China.? are nationals of the country; or if it is defined by the gathering of ethnic groups, then the place where the ethnic group has lived for a long time is its territory.  This is a chicken-and-egg situation.

    Because they all have historical origins, the author does not want to make too many personal comments on this, but it must be remembered that because China was the suzerain country at the beginning, it did not care about some border crossings-"Everything you have is mine.  What's the point of giving you a little?" was the insight of the ruler at that time.

    However, future generations will not think this way. There is still a popular argument that "Changbai Mountain belongs to South Korea" in future generations. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, it also led to concerns among scholars in China and South Korea that the 29,000 square meters between China and North Korea  There are disputes over sovereignty over kilometers of territory (mainly the Yanbian region).

    In official history, the Jin Dynasty in the north also requested that "Baektusan" (the Korean name for Changbai Mountain) be transferred to them because their "Taizu" once fought the anti-Japanese guerrilla war in Changbai Mountain, China. The reason was that the Paektusan family  The glory cannot appear in a foreign country!

    Since there will be these troubles in the future, it is better to solve them now.  Since there will be border conflicts no matter what, it is better to build a big border!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
